12 Chapter 12: Qin Lingshuang: Poor Eldest Senior Brother_1

Mang Mountain Mine.

Located 500 miles north of the Lingxiao Sect, it lies within an ancient forest.

The veins stretch for hundreds of miles, making it one of the few top-grade mines in the entire Tianchuan State.

At this moment.

In a secluded cave on the mining cliff.

Qin Lingshuang sat cross-legged in the cave, holding her breath and concentrating, operating her cultivation techniques.

The spiritual Qi around her was pervasive throughout the cave, covering more than half of it.

In the mist, blue lotus flowers bloomed in the void, truly magical.

About half an hour later, Qin Lingshuang opened her eyes and gently exhaled.

"Finally reached the Establishing Foundation Stage fifth level. The concentration of spiritual Qi in this mountain range is much better than what I had anticipated. Moreover, the constant battling with demonic beasts has sped up my cultivation far faster than if I were in the Sect. No wonder all my Senior Brothers and Sisters praised this place."

Qin Lingshuang couldn't help but feel emotional.

With her medium Tier 9 spiritual root, it was difficult to reach the Golden Elixir Stage.

Her current cultivation speed was much better than she had expected.

"It's a pity, if only Eldest Senior Brother could be here. Maybe he could truly Establish Foundation."

By achieving the Foundation Establishment, one's lifespan could reach 200 years and transcend the mortal realm.

Thinking about it, Qin Lingshuang shook her head. She wondered if Eldest Senior Brother had also given up on cultivation and that's why he had chosen to go down the mountain without hesitation.

If not, why would that diligent and hardworking Eldest Senior Brother get married immediately after going down the mountain? In less than three years, he had already given birth to two children.

This was tantamount to giving up on cultivation, fearing that he would still be unable to sever the ties to the mortal world!

"Eldest Senior Brother is so pitiful."

After adjusting her breath, Qin Lingshuang sighed slightly and stood up.

The white dress perfectly complemented her figure, accentuating her slender waist and her full curves.

Her delicate features were exquisite, her smooth cheeks like warm stones, and her waterfall-like hair flowed behind her. An ancient red phoenix hairpin was inserted into her hair.

She was already beautiful, and as her cultivation breakthrough progressed, she appeared even more ethereal. If she could reach the Golden Elixir Stage, her lifespan would increase to 500 years, and she would become even more enchanting.

She gently touched her hairpin.

It was a gift from Qin Changqing.

Although it was probably an unintentional gesture.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from outside the cave.

"Senior Sister Lingshuang, are you in there?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Lingshuang removed the barrier outside the cave.

Soon after, a young woman in a green dress walked in.

The woman looked about twenty years old, rather adorable, with a pair of round and bright eyes.

"Junior Sister Bai Yan, why are you here?"

Seeing the woman in front of her, Qin Lingshuang was somewhat surprised.

Like her, the woman was also from the Xuanyi Peak lineage.

The two had a good relationship while cultivating on the mountain.

It was strange that most of the disciples Mo Jiuzhou had taken in were female.

Qin Changqing had once teased him about it, but Mo Jiuzhou felt wronged. He hadn't thought about it carefully and just felt it was appropriate to accept them into the mountain for cultivation.

As for male or female, as long as they were not a hermaphrodite, it was fine.

"I took a mission from the Sect to collect the Fairy Stones from here. Along with me are several other Senior Brothers and Sisters." Bai Yan said.

Qin Lingshuang suddenly remembered that someone would come from the Sect every year to collect the Fairy Stones mined from the Mang Mountain Mine.

The sect would issue tasks, and completing them would grant rewards. Tasks like transporting the Fairy Stones were held every year as an opportunity for the disciples to grow and gain experience.

"Senior Sister Lingshuang, how has your life been here?" Bai Yan curiously examined the cave mansion.

"It's quite good," Qin Lingshuang smiled lightly, " The cultivation environment here is not any worse than the Sect."

"I've heard from those Senior Sisters who returned that the demonic beasts here are fierce. You must be careful."

"Don't worry, I'll be fine. In another two years, I'll be able to return."Actually, she was considering whether to apply for a few more years of stay in the sect.

It wouldn't be too late to leave after reaching the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

"What has happened on the mountain during my absence these years?" Qin Lingshuang casually asked.

Bai Yan thought for a moment and said, "Nothing much has happened. After all, we practice every day. Our Xuanyi Peak got the last place in the sect's competition again, but Master doesn't seem to care. Ever since Big Senior Brother left the mountain, we haven't seen him and Master chasing golden pheasants all over the mountain."

"Oh right, Senior Sister Lingshuang, do you know? Senior Sister Xi'er has gotten married!"

Qin Lingshuang was stunned for a moment and then nodded.

"She must have been influenced by Big Senior Brother. Sister Xi'er has average talent and not much hope for Foundation Establishment in this life."

With a sigh, she lamented a little.

There are too many people like this in the sect.

Every year, there are quite a few people coming and going from the mountain.

Even for her, it's probably the end of the road once she reaches the Golden Elixir Realm.

What will happen afterward?

Whenever she calms down and thinks carefully, she feels lost and even scared.

"Yeah." Bai Yan nodded, "Senior Sister Xi'er was indeed influenced by Big Senior Brother, but do you know who she married?"

"As long as she likes him, it doesn't matter who he is," Qin Lingshuang didn't care.

"It's Big Senior Brother!"

"...Eh!?"

The union between the Qin and Lian families became the talk of the town in Heiyu Town.

Unlike the Su Family, the Lian Family was a well-known Cultivation Family in the town.

Although they were not as powerful as the Lingxiao Sect, they were still highly respected by the ordinary people.

What would the combination of these two immortal families turn into?

Of course, that's what outsiders see. In reality, the Lian Family just wanted to hold onto Qin Changqing's powerful influence.

Fortunately, Lian Caini was also a disciple of Lingxiao Sect. Since both of them were in love, it was great for them to be together.

Qin Changqing also felt good about it. Marrying a 'fairy' would be amazing. Even without considering the system's relationship, Caini's beauty was considered top-notch in the past life. Who wouldn't love her?

In addition, if there is no hope for immortality, it's natural to marry more wives and have children. After all, continuing the family lineage has always been a tradition that he adheres to.

In summary, there's only one point - give birth, countless births!

Many and better births!

Su Xiaoyue was satisfied, as she had already given birth to three children. Even with her cultivator's physique, she was somewhat weak. So the responsibility of continuing the family lineage fell on Xi'er and Lian Caini for the time being.

Fortunately, both Xi'er and Lian Caini were strong, with far better physical fitness than ordinary people. Especially for Xi'er, who was very interested in having children and kept looking for Qin Changqing. It was a bit like bullying the 'newcomer' Lian Caini.

Then,

Not even a month after marrying Lian Caini, Xi'er became pregnant.

"Big Senior Brother, do you think our child might have a Tier-8 Spiritual Root?" Xi'er started daydreaming during the day.

In fact, it would be good for descendants of two Tier-9 Spiritual Roots to maintain a Tier-9 Spiritual Root. Most likely, they would not get a grade at all. Anything more would be a mutation.

But as long as Xi'er is happy.

Anyway, as long as the child is healthy, Qin Changqing will be happy.

Since Xi'er became pregnant, the burden of carrying on the lineage fell on Lian Caini. The seeds sown by Qin Changqing were all received by her. Then, about half a month apart, Lian Caini became pregnant as well.

As it turned out, having a big butt is good for fertility.

Three wives at home, two of them pregnant.

Plus, the four children were young.

Qin Changqing suddenly felt like he was running out of energy.

Some things couldn't be resolved by hiring more servants.

As a father and husband, he had to take time to take care of his family.

Fortunately, he didn't need to cultivate, or else there really wouldn't be enough time for anything.

"It'll be fine when the children grow up."

Looking at the worried Qin Changqing, Su Xiaoyue laughed and comforted him.

She had recently been handling the Commerce Association on behalf of Qin Changqing while also finding time to cultivate.
