Chapter 3: Top Grade Spiritual Root

A long while later!

[Detected that the partner has a Low Grade Spiritual Root, please choose:]

[1. Consume ten years of lifespan to have an offspring with a High Grade Spiritual Root]

[2. Consume one hundred years of lifespan to have an offspring with a Top Grade Spiritual Root]

Qin Changqing suddenly jolted. Holy crap, previously the System forcibly deducted ten years of lifespan, but now there was actually an extra choice…

During this period, Qin Changqing had already obtained one hundred and seventy Spirit Stones and exchanged them all for lifespan. In other words, he had gained an extra one hundred and seventy years of life. Subtracting the seventy years used to strengthen his seven children, if he consumed another hundred years of lifespan now, the remainder would be exactly his original lifespan.

Damn it, was it easy for him to save up some Spirit Stones? That was all the accumulation of his hard work and toil!

After agonizing for a while, he finally chose the second option. They were his children after all; if he was going to have them, he had to give them the best Aptitude!

No matter how poor he was, he couldn't skimp on the Foundation; no matter how hard it was, he couldn't let the child suffer.

Lifespan could be earned back once it was gone!

Now that he was a father, his mindset had indeed changed!

"Big Brother Changqing, don't worry, I won't tell anyone about this. If… you will be my benefactor!"

Benefactor my foot. I'll thank the heavens and earth if you don't come to screw me over again in the future.

Qin Changqing rolled his eyes inwardly as he watched Qin Rongrong leave with a swaying figure.

He opened the bag!

"Ten Spirit Stones. At least you have a bit of a conscience."

Qin Changqing's mood improved slightly… Through this incident with Qin Rongrong, he also understood that the System's strengthening could actually be upgraded, it just required the consumed lifespan to increase exponentially.

If the other party was a Mortal, the strengthening limit was High Grade.

If they possessed a Low Grade Spiritual Root, the strengthening limit was Top Grade.

If it was a Medium Grade Spiritual Root, then it should be an Earthly Spiritual Root. High Grade… *hiss*… Heavenly Spiritual Root… Qin Changqing couldn't help but click his tongue inwardly. If this continued, wouldn't it be Heaven-Defying!

However, doing this would also greatly consume his own lifespan. Since it wasn't strengthening himself, the loss outweighed the gain. It seemed he had to be careful in the future and not get messed around; obtaining more Spirit Stones was the Righteous Path.

Half a month later, Qin Changqing received an invitation sent by Jia Qiang.

Although he had known the result long ago, Qin Changqing's mouth still couldn't help but twitch.

What a sin!

Jia Qiang swept away his previous gloom and held a grand banquet at home. This time, he could finally hold his head high, having completely cleared up the rumors that there was something wrong with him.

The Qin Family also attached great importance to this, because both of them were cultivators with Spiritual Roots, so the probability of giving birth to a child with a Spiritual Root was even greater!

Qin Changqing also went to attend the banquet. When offering a toast, Jia Qiang said seemingly casually, "Brother Changqing, you already have ten children while I only have one. Although both my wife and I possess Spiritual Roots, our quantity is still quite a bit behind yours. I truly admire you!"

The subtext of these words was obvious: Our child is very likely to have a Spiritual Root, while your wives and concubines are all mere Mortals. What's the use of giving birth to more? They're still trash!

The atmosphere on the scene suddenly turned a bit cold. The other Guest Elders were all somewhat unhappy; weren't these words insulting them as well?

Qin Changqing was helpless and could only laugh along sheepishly!

What Jia Qiang said wasn't wrong either; no one knew the Aptitude of the child in Qin Rongrong's womb better than him.

"Drink, drink! Everyone here is a Guest Elder of my Qin Family. Your children will definitely be Geniuses with intelligent natural talent and Spiritual Roots!" Qin Wenbo smiled and raised his glass to ease the atmosphere, and everyone raised their glasses and drained them in one gulp.

Qin Rongrong stood beside Jia Qiang and secretly gave Qin Changqing a flirtatious wink while everyone wasn't paying attention. Her charming appearance gave Qin Changqing a start.

This woman is crazy! What if someone sees her!

Two months later, two of Qin Changqing's concubines gave birth to offspring one after another. They were two girls, and Qin Changqing named them Qin Mengrou and Qin Mengxue.

At the same time, he took in two more chambers, reaching twelve in total, exactly one for each month.

He had the most wives and concubines among the matrilocal sons-in-law of the same period, causing everyone a bout of envy, jealousy, and hate. However, envy was useless; who told him to be so capable? Even with so many wives and concubines, he could still manage to distribute his favors equally.

Another half a year passed, and Qin Rongrong successfully gave birth to a boy, named Qin Qipeng, implying a great roc spreading its wings and soaring to the sky.

Now Qin Changqing already had nine children, with a child being born almost every month. Currently, there were six boys and three girls.

The boys were named: Qiming, Qifeng, Qihong, Qiyang, Qichen, and Qize respectively.

The girls were named Mengxue, Mengrou, and Mengyao.

"I indeed have quite a few sons and daughters, it's just that my own talent is truly a bit… touching…" After finishing a day's Cultivation, Qin Changqing couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Damn System, can't it give him some benefits? What's the point of only strengthening the seeds!

His talent was indeed not great. After Cultivating for a year, he was still stuck at the first level of Qi Refining. With a Low Grade Spiritual Root, even Foundation Establishment would be very difficult. Fortunately, he had the System protecting him; as long as he had enough Spirit Stones, he could almost live forever.

He also gradually accepted reality and simply spent a large amount of time on his children. His children were at least of High Grade Spiritual Root and had a promising future. As long as he was good enough to them, when the children grew up and became big shots in the future, would they really lack Spirit Stones for their old man?

If his Cultivation talent wasn't good enough, then he would save the country through a curved path. As long as he could achieve longevity, did it still matter how he achieved it!
