38: Chapter 38 Continuous Birth of Offspring

Having previously held the upper hand, his unstable mindset caused him to immediately fall into defeat.

With a blast of black mist, he fled.

The Captain of the Guards was highly experienced; he did not pursue, but instead returned to the flying boat immediately.

"Thank you, Deacon Chen."

The Captain of the Guards bowed, his face full of gratitude.

He understood in his heart that if it weren't for him, they would likely have been wiped out and perished.

"There is no need to be so polite; this is what I should do. Let's continue on our way!"

Chen Fan smiled faintly, looking towards the direction of the Qin Family with a trace of unease in his heart.

If he hadn't been carrying a large number of Talismans this time, they might have had to go through a fierce battle.

Demonic Cultivators are rampant; once they take root, they are difficult to eradicate.

The Su Family has made nothing but foolish moves, effectively inviting disaster upon themselves.

Everything went very smoothly afterward, and the group soon returned to the Qin Family.

"Thank you, Deacon Chen."

After this incident, Qin Yidan's eyes were filled with admiration.

Not only was he highly accomplished in Alchemy, but his Realm was also far stronger than the rumors suggested.

"You're welcome. If you have any questions regarding Alchemy in the future, just come to me."

"Hmm."

Qin Yidan's face flushed slightly, looking shy.

"You have advanced?"

Deacon Qin Yunhe was very surprised to see Chen Fan's aura was thick and that he had successfully entered Qi Refining Level 9.

One must know that in the Qin Family, especially with such a major bottleneck, a breakthrough pill is required.

He vaguely remembered that the other party had not applied to the Family for one.

However, he didn't pay too much attention to it.

The successful advancement meant that the number of Medicinal Pills that could be refined would increase, which was of great benefit to the Back Courtyard.

"Very good. Previously, many people complained when you were promoted to Deacon. Now that you are a genuine Late-stage Qi Refining Cultivator, you must Cultivate diligently in the future and work hard to refine Medicinal Pills."

"Yes, this Junior understands."

Chen Fan bowed, agreeing deeply.

Especially after this outing, he realized more than ever that the Qi Refining Level 9 Realm was quite ordinary.

If he encountered a Cultivator with higher strength, he would have absolutely no power to resist.

In the following days, his Cultivation became increasingly diligent.

Coupled with his extremely high success rate in refining Medicinal Pills, his Cultivation improved day by day.

Qin Yidan also frequently came to seek advice on Alchemy.

Under his direct and personal guidance, her Alchemy skills improved by leaps and bounds.

And she grew increasingly respectful and affectionate toward Chen Fan.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, two months had passed.

He had accumulated quite a few Medicinal Pills on hand.

Thinking of the elusive Demonic Cultivators outside, he was in no rush to head to the market, instead continuing to Cultivate hard and refine Medicinal Pills.

One day, while refining Medicinal Pills, a familiar mechanical voice echoed in his mind.

[Ding, detected that the host has successfully produced offspring. Mother and daughter are safe. Reward: Tier 1 Alchemy Experience +5%. Reward: One Elementary High Grade Gold Brick Talisman.]

"She's given birth?"

Chen Fan's eyes lit up, and he hurried toward Zilin Bamboo Lodge.

At the same time, other parts of the System panel changed accordingly.

[Side Quest: Advance to the 8th Layer of Qi Refining as soon as possible (Completed). Give birth to six new offspring with Spiritual Roots (Four completed).]

On the way, Chen Fan carefully examined the Elementary High Grade Gold Brick Talisman in his hand.

He saw a halo flowing on it, and one could tell at a glance that its power was not trivial.

He felt a little regret in his heart; a Talisman is something that can only be used once after activation.

At this moment, Qin Wei could not bring herself to be happy, because this child was also a girl.

"It's the same whether it's a boy or a girl."

Chen Fan held the baby in his arms; her skin was as delicate as jade, and he was very happy.

"Hmm."

Seeing her husband happy, Qin Wei slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's call her Qin Yu!"

Chen Fan thought of the fact that the child still carried the surname Qin, and felt a slight melancholy in his heart.

In the future, he would need to establish a powerful Cultivation Family; he could not live as a dependent of the Qin Family forever.

Thinking of Foundation Establishment at this moment, his heart became inexplicably excited.

Only in this way could he shed the identity of this Matrilocal son-in-law.

Afterward, he handed the child to the maid in the house and headed toward Qin Xuan's residence.

"Husband is here."

Qin Xuan's face showed joy as she looked at her protruding belly, looking full of happiness.

Chen Fan did some quick mental calculations and estimated that she would give birth in two months.

He was very excited, wondering what kind of reward the System would give for this birth.

"Husband, a few days ago I heard my father say that it is very chaotic outside. Although many Demonic Cultivators have been wiped out, there are still a few who slipped through the net."

"Several of them have impressive strength, seemingly at Qi Refining Level 11. You must be careful in the future."

Chen Fan was slightly shocked.

Dealing with Qi Refining Level 10 could be managed by relying on sneak attacks and a handful of Talismans, but Qi Refining Level 11 was a terrifying existence.

After all, the several Elders of the Qin Family were merely at the 12th Level of Qi Refining.

Thinking of this, he immediately decided to wait until Qin Xuan had successfully given birth before going out again.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, more than two months passed quickly.

This day, the midwife was constantly coming in and out of the courtyard.

Chen Fan looked anxious, as he noticed that Qin Xuan's labor seemed to be taking quite a long time.

The Fourth Elder, Qin Gang, was very calm, his face showing a gentle expression.

"Good son-in-law, there is no need to be so anxious. Qin Xuan is at the 7th Layer of Qi Refining; she will certainly be safe, and both mother and child will be fine."

Looking at Chen Fan at this moment, his gaze was full of gentleness.

He had not expected that someone with Pseudo Spiritual Root Aptitude would actually break through the bottleneck and become a Late-stage Qi Refining Cultivator.

He became increasingly satisfied, feeling that this son-in-law was excellent.

Just as the two were talking, a mechanical voice continued to echo in Chen Fan's mind.

[Ding, detected that the host has successfully produced offspring. Mother and child are safe. Reward: Tier 1 Alchemy Experience +5%. Reward: One Elementary High Grade Demon Refining Formation.]

The next moment, a Formation of good quality appeared in his Storage Pouch.

"Waa~"

A cry echoed throughout the courtyard.

The midwife held the swaddled baby and happily walked forward: "Congratulations, Alchemist Chen, it is a big, healthy baby boy."

"Not bad, not bad."

The Fourth Elder, Qin Gang, was also full of smiles and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Qin Xuan, who was on the bed, took a Medicinal Pill and was soon able to get out of bed and walk around.

"Husband, give our son a name!"

"Let's call him Qin Hao!"

Chen Fan said, feeling somewhat depressed.

The Fourth Elder naturally saw what he was thinking and said gently: "Actually, in the future, when your status in the Qin Family improves, it will naturally be allowed for your offspring to carry the surname Chen. All of this depends on you."

"Thank you for the reminder, Father-in-law. I will work hard to improve my Cultivation in the future."

Looking at his wives and children, Chen Fan felt a thousand emotions in his heart.

Having come to the Qin Family for several years, he now had eleven children.

Once they grew up strong, they would form a large Family.

He absolutely could not let the children he fathered work like beasts of burden for the Qin Family.

Once he advanced to Qi Refining Level 10, he would submit an application to the Family so that his future offspring would carry the surname Chen.

The next day, the Family sent a Cultivator to conduct a Spiritual Root test, and the result was even more shocking.

No one expected that Qin Hao possessed a single-attribute Lightning Spiritual Root with excellent Aptitude.

Chen Fan completely understood that wanting to produce offspring with excellent Aptitude was closely related to the Aptitude of his wives.

This matter even alarmed the Foundation Establishment Old Ancestor who was in seclusion.

After sending someone to confirm it again, he promised on the spot to Cultivate him with all resources in the future.
