He returned to Jade Spring Peak without any surprises or mishaps. The news of his master's Nascent Soul formation had already spread throughout Beiyuan Xiuxian. The Qingli Commandery had also received the news.
The most obvious change was the Wang Clan's Drunken Immortal Restaurant in Qingli City. It was now packed with people every day.
After all, this was a place where Yuanying cultivators had once lived. The food and wine here were praised by Yuanying cultivators.
The Golden Core cultivators of the four top powers had also stayed at the Drunken Immortal Restaurant many times.
Although they didn't leave behind any treasures of calligraphy, there were still many wandering cultivators who came to "pay homage to the sacred site".
Nothing major had happened in Qingli Commandery. Wang Daoyuan greeted his Third Brother and returned to his underground cave residence.
When he entered the rear courtyard, he saw Zhou Luan standing by the gate. She inquired after his well-being, "Your Highness, you've worked hard."
Wang Daoyuan felt his hair stand on end. "Hall Master, Lord Linjiang of Zhou said he wanted to marry me, but I refused.
I even told them some things about you. I directly addressed Lord Linjiang as Second Uncle and Zhou Jingyuan as Eldest Nephew.
I only said a few polite words to Wind Snow Deity Palace's Daoist Flying Snow. I didn't do anything. "
Zhou Luan glared at him. "At least you have a conscience."
Wang Daoyuan finally relaxed and said fawningly, "Master said he's now a Yuanying cultivator. There's no one in Beiyuan Xiuxian that he's afraid of.
There's no need for us to be secretive. It's not a big deal to directly announce your identity. Master will take me to Blood Shadow's headquarters to propose marriage.
When do you think we should announce your identity? "
Zhou Luan pondered for a moment. "I don't want to announce my identity now. Elder Xu doesn't have long to live.
Although the Xu Clan's power isn't small, they don't have any other half-step Yuanying cultivators.
As long as he dies, the Xu Clan's right to speak will be greatly weakened. I can quickly return to Blood Shadow's headquarters.
With my abilities, I'll be able to enter the decision-making level once I return.
At that time, the younger generation of our family can also infiltrate the headquarters.
After being oppressed by Blood Shadow's headquarters for so many years, we can't let them have it easy. I want to turn Blood Shadow into our family's private property. "
Wang Daoyuan really did not expect that Zhou Luan could have such big ambitions.
He didn't think it was a big deal for a woman to be ambitious.
The most annoying thing was to use one's ambition against one's own family.
It was a good thing to use it for one's own benefit.
"What about me?" he asked. I can't go to Blood Shadow's headquarters to accompany you, right?
Besides, can you be at ease if I stay here alone? "
Zhou Luan smiled and said, "After you got the corpse core, you didn't use it yourself, but gave it to Shizun.
I knew you wanted to leave Beiyuan Xiuxian and make your way outside.
There has to be someone overseeing Blood Shadow's side. If I leave with you, I'm afraid my family will suffer from Blood Shadow's endless revenge. I can only stay behind to watch over the family for you.
But before you go, you must leave the children behind.
One will inherit my position in Blood Shadow, while the other will stay in Qingli Commandery and inherit the title of Commandery King.
The foundation that we've worked so hard to build must be inherited by our children.
Once the children are able to take charge, I'll leave Beiyuan Xiuxian to come find you.
Oh right, did you bring anything back for me this time? "
Wang Daoyuan took out the books on dual cultivation and said with a smile, "Shizun is in a hurry to have a grand-disciple, so she gave me some dual cultivation methods.
These are all cultivation methods left behind by Soul Transformation and Yuanying cultivators. They're much more profound than the Cloud and Rain Heart Sutra. "
Before he had even finished speaking, he had already lifted her up and entered the room.
The effects of the dual cultivation secret techniques left behind by the ancestors really were quite good.
In just half a year, Zhou Luan broke through to late Golden Core.
Her cultivation had always been about the same as Wang Daoyuan's. In this underground dwelling, she could also use the Scarlet Luan's Flames of Nirvana to obtain endless fire-attributed spiritual energy from the lava.
Although her cultivation had broken through, she still could not stop cultivating.
Another year passed. The two of them were currently eating hotpot by the spring in the backyard garden. This thing had already been restored by Wang Daoyuan a long time ago.
The Wang family now had around twenty clansmen who were engaged in the path of spiritual chefs.
They had also developed various variations of hotpot, making it a specialty of the Qingli commandery.
People came and went on the Wanchuan river. The dish of hotpot had also been spread to Linhai province and Zhou province.
The two of them finished all the dishes on the table very quickly. Wang Daoyuan stood up and stretched. He said with a smile, "Hall head, why don't we continue cultivating?"
With that, he extended his hand.
Zhou Luan slapped his hand away and said with a frown, "Why do I feel like my stomach doesn't feel too good?"
Wang Daoyuan was rather nervous as well. Golden Core cultivators did not have stomachaches.
It was not very likely for them to be poisoned either. These things were all produced in the space of the spiritual pearl.
Zhou Luan closed her eyes and inspected her body.
A moment later, her face lit up. "I think I'm pregnant."
Hearing this, Wang Daoyuan was overjoyed.
In his previous life, he had always been a bachelor. In this life, he had been childless for more than two hundred years.
He hurriedly said, "Really? Let me see. "
Zhou Luan said angrily, "Why would I lie to you? You're so careless.
I just got pregnant. How can the child withstand your spiritual sense power? "
Wang Daoyuan finally reacted and said with a smile, "I was too happy and forgot about this. This place is close to lava. The child might not be able to withstand it.
How about we move to another place? "
"It'll be fine before the child is born. We'll talk about it when the child is born."
"Is it a boy or a girl?"
"I just got pregnant. Who can tell?"
Wang Daoyuan took out the Azure Dragon Pearl, extracted the life force inside, and gave it to Zhou Luan to refine.
With enough life force, the probability of the child having spiritual roots would increase.
If both parents were Golden Core Cultivators, the child might not necessarily have spiritual roots.
It was just that the probability of having spiritual roots was much higher. In Wang Daoyuan and Zhou Luan's case, the probability of the child having spiritual roots was between 80% and 90%.
If both parents were Yuanying, then the child would definitely have spiritual roots.
Eating more spiritual fruits during pregnancy could also increase the probability of the child having spiritual roots.
Wang Daoyuan didn't lack these things. Since then, the Soul-Chasing Bees' royal jelly, Dragon Heart Fruit, Green Spiritual Peach, and other spiritual fruits were freely available. Zhou Luan could eat as much as she wanted.
The third and fourth level spiritual fruits in the spiritual pearl weren't ripe yet, but there were many spiritual fruits in the Green Willow Secret Realm.
Wang Daoyuan ordered the people there to send fresh spiritual fruits every day.
Three months later, Zhou Luan's belly was already bulging.
With enough spiritual food, the little girl's life force became more and more obvious. At this time, she was almost like a newborn baby.
With such strong life force, there was an 80% chance that she had spiritual roots.
After taking out the Azure Dragon Pearl and letting Zhou Luan refine a lot of life force, Wang Daoyuan smiled. "You'll be a father in six months."
"You're thinking too much. Human women do take ten months to get pregnant, but I'm equivalent to a half-demon with phoenix blood. It might not necessarily take ten months.
It's common for women in the Zhou family to be pregnant for one or two years. Just wait. "
Wang Daoyuan wasn't disappointed. A Golden Core Cultivator had a lifespan of a thousand years. It didn't matter if he waited for one or two more years.
However, the Queen Bee in the spiritual pearl was extremely dissatisfied. The royal jelly that she had stored for many years was all taken away by Wang Daoyuan.
The newly brewed royal jelly was also all gone.
Qingli Commandery didn't have any major issues. The only change was that the refined corpses of Shanbei attacked a few demon tribes in the northwest.
Most of the low-level demons fled north or west. It didn't affect Shanbei at all.
"I'm not in a hurry. Waiting a year or two is nothing.
It's just that it's too tiring for you to manage the intelligence agency while you're pregnant.
Why don't I manage it for you? "
Zhou Luan pinched his waist a few more times. "You're thinking about the intelligence agency again. You want to flirt with other women? Don't even think about it."
Wang Daoyuan hurriedly begged for mercy. "Please calm down, Hall Master. Don't affect the child."
After staying in the underground cave for another two months, the Twelfth Uncle sent news that the aquatic demons in the Wan Chuan River were restless.
Fourth-level demons often appeared, but they didn't attack the Wan Chuan Market.
