WTF, The Centuries-Old Ancestor In Our Family Take Concubine Again!

Chapter 93

Li Su grew more patient with her, even providing elixirs to aid in her recovery from injuries. Li Su also acquired books from another realm and had maids read them to the Holy Lady of the Silent Moon.

Ten months quickly passed in this manner, but there were no signs of movement in the Holy Lady of the Silent Moon’s belly.

“Considering this, the child likely possesses a strong spiritual foundation,” Li Su commented, becoming energized.

Nearly a year had passed since the first month or two, yet the child had not been born. During this year, Li Su’s descendants continued to multiply, and their numbers continued to rise.

The growth rate of the descendant population was on track to accelerate. The expansion of descendants with spiritual potential had slowed due to Li Su’s lack of new concubines this year.

In the territories of the three major sects, few eligible female cultivators remained. Over time, Li Su’s cultivation steadily increased, nearing the Nascent Soul stage.

Li Su refrained from major actions, awaiting the attainment of Nascent Soul power. While the Golden Core stage was formidable, it paled compared to Nascent Soul. In the broader world, Nascent Soul cultivators were absolute powerhouses.

Another two months elapsed, and the Holy Lady of the Silent Moon had still not given birth, now 14 months in. Li Su remained patient. In his previous world, such a prolonged pregnancy would raise concerns. Still, in this world, with the Holy Lady of the Silent Moon as the mother, the child possessed extraordinary spiritual potential or other unique qualities.

Finally, after another month, the Holy Lady of the Silent Moon delivered her first child. Despite her initial hesitance, she displayed genuine affection for her daughter.

“It’s a daughter,” she smiled. Spiritual potential seemed inconsequential to her, as the cultivation world appeared harsh, and not having spiritual potential might grant her daughter a peaceful life under parental protection.

This perspective contrasted sharply with Li Su’s, which was normal given their differing experiences.

One’s perception of the world is often formed by how it treats them. Even a seemingly beautiful world might appear dark for someone targeted by the world from childhood.

Demonic cultivators viewed the cultivation world differently from other cultivators. Li Su genuinely worried about his daughter’s future. In his household, there were naturally spiritual potential-testing tools. Soon, they examined their daughter’s spiritual potential.

“Third grade,” Li Su whispered. Their first child with the Holy Lady of the Silent Moon possessed exceptional spiritual potential—a third-grade spiritual potential.

This marked the first time Li Su had offspring with spiritual potential in the top three grades, also known as upper third grade. Achieving Nascent Soul with a third-grade spiritual potential should be straightforward with the right techniques, resources, and effort.

Additionally, Li Su quickly noticed their first child’s constitution was somewhat unique.

“Innate talent from birth?”

After examining the child, Li Su was astonished. While the first child’s physique couldn’t rival that of innate experts, it harbored spiritual meridians from birth.

The entire meridian system was remarkably clear and implied that even the Governing and Conception Vessels were open from birth. As she grew, she could effortlessly advance to the Foundation Establishment stage.

She might attain Foundation Establishment before her twelfth or even thirteenth birthday if she had access to spiritual stones and similar resources. Her unique constitution was undeniably special and would prove increasingly advantageous as she grew.

The birth of a child with a third-grade spiritual root brought immense joy to Li Su. Despite having many descendants, the majority lacked spiritual roots, and elixirs could only extend their lifespans to a limited extent. With his system’s potential, Li Su’s future was destined for greatness. He didn’t want to face centuries or millennia alone without familiar faces by his side.

Consequently, Li Su’s criteria for taking concubines had subtly elevated. Spiritual roots had become a significant factor unless the candidates were exceptionally exceptional. As he neared the Nascent Soul stage, it was only natural for his standards to rise. With higher-level spirit herbs, elixirs, and improved alchemy skills, he might even concoct legendary “Immortality Pills” to greatly extend his lifespan.

Receiving a reward from the system, Li Su smiled as the child with a third-grade spiritual root strengthened his spiritual roots, inching closer to a fifth-grade spiritual root. This development was a significant step.

Regarding his constitution, Li Su gained additional benefits, which translated into improvements in his physical foundation, although they might not be immediately apparent in the short term. Cultivators recognized the importance of a solid foundation as they advanced. A minor weakness could hinder progress for years, even in higher realms.

After their daughter’s birth, the Holy Lady of the Silent Moon’s mindset gradually shifted. She found herself looking at Li Su differently at times. However, she soon faced another unexpected pregnancy.

This time, she didn’t cry but felt resigned to the situation. Li Su often pulled her into “sleep” after her recovery, leaving her helpless. His initial “ten or eight” statement was not a casual remark. He was serious.

“Saintess, how about this? Let’s have five children before I achieve Nascent Soul, and we can have the rest later,” Li Su proposed, holding her hand.

Overwhelmed, the Holy Lady of the Silent Moon considered the proposal. Five children before Nascent Soul and more afterward seemed like a lot to handle.

Amidst the three major sects, things remained calm. Their suspicions about the Demon Sect’s involvement seemed accurate, as the Holy Lady of the Silent Moon’s actions were driven by her desire for the Saint’s Edict. The Demon Sect likely had constraints preventing her from revealing their unique circumstances, making it unlikely they would send help.

This situation was advantageous for Li Su, allowing him more time to grow. Soon, the Holy Lady of the Silent Moon gave birth to her second child. This one had good fourth-grade spiritual roots but lacked any special constitution.
