Chapter 15 — Lin Xilan’s Terrifying Cultivation Speed
“Really!?”
Lin Xilan too was stunned. Her daughter actually had such amazing talent!
She automatically absorbed the essence of heaven and earth as soon as she was born!
But soon, a hint of darkness appeared on her face. Her husband had already reached the Seventh stage of the Golden Core realm, not far from the Nascent Soul realm. Chi’er had also been detected to have cultivation talent and could be tested for the grade of his spiritual root at the age of three. This little girl had absorbed the essence of heaven and earth as soon as she was born. The whole family could cultivate, except for her, a mere mortal.
Sigh.
Yang Chen noticed the change in her expression. Holding the little girl, he walked to the bedside.
“Don’t worry, my dear. I can guarantee that you will be able to cultivate soon! By then, we will be Dao Companions!”
Yang Chen had already checked on the System. The system could indeed use the VPs to exchange for spiritual roots.
A low-grade spiritual root required 300 VPs!
A medium-grade spiritual root required 500 VPs!
A high-grade spiritual root required 1000 VPs!
A Perfection-grade spiritual root required 1500 VPs!
An Earth-grade spiritual root required 2000 VPs!
And a Heaven-grade spiritual root required 3000 VPs!
Yang Chen had 850 VPs at the time. But he could only exchange for a medium-grade spiritual root. So he didn’t exchange it. Now that the little girl was born, he was directly rewarded with 6000 VPs. Yang Chen planned to exchange a Heaven-grade spiritual root for Lin Xilan.
Half a month passed.
Yang Chen named his daughter Yang Can. Bright and sunny, inheriting the lineage of Yan, Chi, and Chao. He believed that Lin Yand would also like his sister’s name!
At night, Lin Xilan lay beside Yang Chen, snuggling up to him. Her pure, fair forehead was covered in tiny beads of sweat. Her breathing was a bit heavy, and her eyes were intoxicated. A pair of soft and tender jade-like hands were drawing circles on Yang Chen’s chest. She didn’t know when, but she had started to like this action at some point.
After each time, she would continue to draw on his chest until she fell asleep. Yang Chen patted her at her protruding place. “Darling, open your mouth!”
“Ah!”
Without hesitation, Lin Xilan opened her vermilion lips. In this situation, she maintained absolute obedience to Yang Chen.
Yang Chen threw a golden pill into Lin Xilan’s mouth. The pill melted as soon as it entered her mouth.
“Ah, honey, what did you give me to eat?” Lin Xilan felt the foreign object in her mouth and hurriedly asked.
“Darling, I got a pill that can help condense spiritual roots in the body!”
Hearing this, Lin Xilan’s eyes filled with intoxication, became stunned all of a sudden.
Although Lin Xilan couldn’t cultivate, her background was extraordinary. She knew very well that pills that could help condense spiritual roots only existed in legends. After all, her father, who was at that level of cultivation, couldn’t find such a pill. Where did her husband get it from? But her husband didn’t say, so it must be a secret. As a wife, she knew there were some things she shouldn’t ask and let her husband keep some secrets.
Soon, a layer of golden light emanated from Lin Xilan’s body.
“Husband!” Lin Xilan exclaimed, and the golden light on her body became more intense. In just a moment, the whole room was rendered in gold.
The aura of heaven and earth on the Holy Son Peak was already very rich. Yang Chen also activated the Spirit Gathering Array. Immediately, a large amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth gathered and Lin Xilan began absorbing it.
Although Lin Xilan couldn’t cultivate, she had been familiar with the family’s inherited martial arts. At this moment, according to the inherited martial arts, she began to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth at an extremely fast pace.
Several hours later, at dawn, the golden light on Lin Xilan’s body gradually dissipated. Opening her beautiful eyes, a golden light flashed across.
“Honey, I can really cultivate now! And this spiritual root is of a very high grade! After a night of cultivation, I actually reached the Second stage of the Qi Refining realm!” Lin Xilan was filled with surprise.
Yang Chen was also very surprised. Even if it was a heavenly spiritual root, it was impossible to reach the Second stage of the Qi Refining realm in one night.
Although the time it took to break through to the Qi Refining realm was much shorter than that of the Foundation Establishment realm, even for those with extraordinary talent, it usually took several months to break through one realm.
Even Lin Yan, the Son of Destiny, took five days to reach the Second stage of Qi Refining realm.
In the original work, Lin Xilan could indeed cultivate later on. However, at that time, Lin Yan was already a giant in the world. Therefore, there was not much introduction to Lin Xilan’s cultivation speed. But now it seemed that once Lin Xilan had a spiritual root, her cultivation speed would be absolutely terrifying.
In the future, she might become a great help to him!
“Honey, thank you! You’re so good to me!” Lin Xilan threw herself into Yang Chen’s arms again. After being nourished by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, Yang Chen felt that her skin was even more moist and glossy.
Unable to resist, he couldn’t help but wandered around.
“Ah, hateful!” Lin Xilan scolded him coquettishly.
Her whole body went soft in Yang Chen’s arms. Her vermilion lips lightly opened, and the sweet and hot breath blew on Yang Chen’s ear.
Suddenly, the blood in his whole body surged.
But at this moment, a loud cry came.
“Ah!” Lin Xilan’s intoxicated eyes suddenly regained clarity, and then panic set in.
“Oh no, I forgot! I haven’t fed Can Can all night. The little girl must be starving!” Lin Xilan struggled out of Yang Chen’s arms and hurriedly ran out of the bedroom to feed the child.
“Ah!”
Yang Chen couldn’t help but sigh.
Half month passed.
Yang Can was a month old. Yang Chen decided to hold a full moon banquet* for his daughter.
[*one month celebration for the baby. This marks a significant milestone as the baby has completed their first lunar cycle. Traditionally, it was a way to celebrate the baby’s survival through the vulnerable early stages of life, when infant mortality rates were higher.]
The news spread, and many people from the Xuantian Sect happily accepted the invitation.
At this time, Lin Yan, who had just returned to the Xuantian Sect, learned of this news. His face immediately became extremely grim.
“Bastard! Yang Chen, you wait for me. I will definitely kill you with my own hands! Cutting off your limbs, peel your skin, and chopping your bones, still won’t be enough to quench my hatred!”
Although Lin Yan’s aura had increased a lot compared to half a year ago, he was still at the Fourth stage of the Foundation Establishment realm, just one step away from the Fifth stage of the Foundation Establishment realm.
This cultivation speed was normal for ordinary cultivators because many Foundation Establishment realm cultivators took several years to break through one stage of cultivation. However, this was not Lin Yan’s cultivation speed. After all, he was the Son of Destiny!
“Yan’er, don’t be too impatient! Impatience is something that must be avoided in cultivation” A gentle voice sounded.
“Master, I must become stronger immediately! I can’t calm down until I kill Yang Chen, the dog thief! Ah!”
With a sigh full of helplessness. Suddenly, the gentle voice raised its tone: “Yan’er, Master has sensed it!”
“Master, what have you sensed?”
“The aura of a Primordial Fire!”
“What!?” Lin Yan was suddenly stunned. Then, a near-crazy smile appeared on his face.
“Primordial Fire, Primordial Fire! Master, where is the Primordial Fire? I must get it immediately! I will refine it and use it to burn Yang Chen alive!”
At this moment, in a forbidden place of the Xuantian Sect, a slender and graceful figure sat cross-legged on a jade platform, her closed beautiful eyes suddenly opened, shining brightly.
“A treasure is born! Let this seat deduce the location. It’s just in time for the disciples to go and explore! The aura of the treasure is strong, and major forces will all send people to investigate, which can be considered as a test! Chen’er should be back. It’s just right for him to lead the team and hone himself!”
