Chapter 6: Foundation Building Success
"Should we name him Li Changsheng?"
Su Youruo glared fiercely at Li Daoxuan and said with annoyance, "That's too ostentatious! Let's change it!"
"How about Li Chengdao?"
"Husband, can't you choose a more normal name? Do you have an obsession with becoming immortal?"
"Cough cough! Then let's call him Li Chen!"
This time, Su Youruo felt somewhat satisfied and didn't oppose it anymore.
After comforting his wife, Li Daoxuan suddenly remembered that he hadn't carefully checked the system rewards yet. He then instructed Xiao Man and Xiao Yu to go to the secret room.
"System! Are you there?"
[Yes!]
"What functions do you have, system? And is your name serious?"
[The Many Children, Many Blessings System encourages the host to have as many children as possible. The more, the better! The more children, the more abundant the rewards!]
[As for whether there are more functions, you'll have to explore them yourself!]
"I like this function!"
"Oh right! Do I have any rewards that haven't been claimed yet?"
[Rewards are being distributed...]
[Reward 1: Portable storage space of 100 cubic meters!]
[Reward 2: One Testing Spirit Stone!]
[Reward 3: 100 Qi Gathering Pills, 100 Essence Nurturing Pills, 10 top-grade Foundation Building Pills, 10 top-grade Marrow Cleansing Pills]
[Reward 4: Ten Huang-rank martial arts techniques, five Xuan-rank martial arts techniques]
After waiting for a while, Li Daoxuan asked again, "Is that all? Nothing else?"
[...]
"Many Children, Many Blessings? So if I marry and have children without any restrictions, won't I become invincible soon?"
"What are you thinking? Marrying ordinary women is useless. It's best to marry those with spiritual roots and great luck, and definitely avoid marrying someone ugly."
"As for having children, if they don't have spiritual roots, there won't be any rewards."
Although Li Daoxuan was a little disappointed, he was still excited in his heart. This reward was quite good, even after accumulating savings for so many years, he didn't have this much.
Not to mention the Qi Gathering Pills, just the Foundation Building Pills made people envious, not to mention the even more precious and scarce Marrow Cleansing Pills.
Qi Gathering Pills were only the lowest-level elixirs, even outer disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect could obtain them.
Foundation Building Pills were essential elixirs for breaking through to the Foundation Building stage, which Li Daoxuan needed the most right now.
As for the Marrow Cleansing Pills, they were treasures that were hard to come by. What made Li Daoxuan even happier was their "top-grade" quality.
Ordinary elixirs might have side effects, and the more they were taken, the less effective they might become. But top-grade elixirs had no such limitations.
"Hahaha... These treasures came just in time."
"Although I'm not as crazy about cultivation as before, who can refuse the opportunity to improve their strength?"
With a thought, three jade bottles appeared in Li Daoxuan's hands. He had made up his mind to first enhance his own strength, preferably breaking through to the Foundation Building stage.
Li Daoxuan first took a Marrow Cleansing Pill.
Mainly because Li Daoxuan's spiritual root quality was too trash. He had a mixed Five Elements spiritual root, not even reaching the Yellow Grade quality.
The grades of spiritual roots ranged from Yellow, Xuan, Earth, to Heaven...
Li Daoxuan could only be considered a mixed spiritual root, not even reaching Yellow Grade.
Being able to cultivate to the peak of the Qi Gathering stage was definitely the result of his decades of hard cultivation.
"Hiss! So refreshing!"
"This is the effect of cleansing the tendons and marrow? Not only is there no pain, but I feel comfortable all over."
He could clearly feel his meridians expanding and impurities being continuously removed from his body.
Then, Li Daoxuan took out a Foundation Building Pill and put it in his mouth.
He wanted to use the medicinal power to break through to the Foundation Building stage in one go.
His entire body was filled with surging spiritual energy, constantly impacting the bottleneck. But... after a while, Li Daoxuan suddenly opened his eyes.
"Is this it?"
"Useless?"
"Could this Foundation Building Pill be fake?"
Li Daoxuan thought that maybe the medicinal power was not strong enough. After hesitating for a moment, he directly put two pills into his mouth.
This time, he felt even stronger. He was on the verge of successfully building the foundation, but he was just one step away.
"Ah! Could it be that my aptitude is too poor? Didn't the system enhance it for me? Plus the effect of the Marrow Cleansing Pill, it shouldn't be like this!"
[Cough cough! Master, you do have some self-awareness. It's just that your aptitude is trash.]
Li Daoxuan: "..."
Li Daoxuan made up his mind and stuffed the Marrow Cleansing Pill into his mouth like candy. The effect of the Marrow Cleansing Pill was weakening, but he couldn't care about that anymore.
One pill! Two pills!...
He didn't let go of the Qi Gathering Pill or the Foundation Building Pill. Just eat them all!
If one pill doesn't work, then eat a few more. Li Daoxuan really didn't believe it.
"Crack!"
As if the sound of a barrier breaking, Li Daoxuan's aura suddenly rose, and the entire secret room formed a tornado.
"Hahaha..."
"I finally broke through! I've worked so hard for so many years, and I finally succeeded in building the foundation."
Li Daoxuan had suffered in these years!
He had been disappointed, desperate, and had even wanted to give up...
Now that the foundation was built, coupled with the assistance of the system, soaring through the sky and becoming an immortal was no longer a dream.
"I've just wasted too many pills in my cultivation!"
"Hmm? There are still two Foundation Building Pills?"
Looking at the mess in the secret room and the empty medicine bottles, Li Daoxuan could only smile bitterly.
Li Daoxuan left the secret room, and his whole demeanor changed. He became younger and exuded a touch of immortality.
Arriving at his wife's resting room, Xiao Man exclaimed, "Oh! Master, why have you become younger? And even more handsome!"
"Hahaha... Is that so?"
Su Youruo also raised her head and carefully looked at Li Daoxuan, saying, "Husband, have you made a breakthrough?"
"Madam has sharp eyes!"
"Husband, I have already reached the Foundation Building stage. Amazing, right?"
A trace of melancholy flashed in Su Youruo's eyes, then she gently said, "Amazing! Husband is the most amazing!"
Then, Li Daoxuan took out a jade bottle and handed it to Su Youruo, saying, "Madam, this is for you. You should recover your health quickly."
"What is this?"
"Essence Nurturing Pill. It should be beneficial for your body if you take it."
Su Youruo was stunned for a moment, then waved her hand and said, "Husband, I don't need it. You should use it."
"Madam, your body is weak. You should take it first."
Li Daoxuan continued with a mischievous tone, "After your body recovers, let's try for another two children in three years!"
Su Youruo gave Li Daoxuan a glance, while Xiao Man and Xiao Yu on the side couldn't help but cover their mouths and giggle.
Li Daoxuan was left with the Essence Nurturing Pill, which he didn't need. It was mainly used to nourish the body, and it was obvious that it was prepared for his own wife.
At night, Li Daoxuan held Su Youruo in his arms, and the room was quiet.
In the end, Li Daoxuan couldn't help but ask, "Madam, can you tell me about your past?"
"I used to be too weak and didn't dare to ask."
"But now that I have reached Foundation Building, my strength will continue to grow."
"I know you have a deep-seated grudge, and I want to face it with you."
Su Youruo hesitated, then held Li Daoxuan's hand and sighed, "Husband, it's better if you don't ask. It won't benefit you in any way, and it might..."
"I'm still too weak, right?"
Su Youruo blinked her deep eyes, and the meaning was c
lear. It meant that you're too weak, and I'm embarrassed to tell you.
"When will you be able to tell me then?"
Su Youruo pondered for a moment and said, "At least when you..."
