116: Chapter 116 Don’t talk about the suffering of the cycle of life and death, my fate is in my own hands!

He meticulously planned his cultivation for the next twenty years, intending to spend this time cultivating in seclusion at White Cloud City until reaching Foundation Establishment Perfection.

He decided to stop renting out the four Foundation Establishment cultivation rooms in White Cloud City; after all, given his current situation, he was no longer lacking that bit of Spirit Stone rental income.

Furthermore, he needed to Cultivate, Du Xiaoyue had her own needs, and he still had to keep at least two cultivation rooms to produce Spirit Liquid.

He also planned to find time to build another compressor.

Regarding Spirit Liquid, he had a new idea and wanted to try creating single-attribute Spirit Liquid, such as wood-attribute Spirit Liquid.

Single-attribute Spirit Liquid could not only significantly increase his own cultivation speed but also commanded a much higher market price.

However, this type of Spirit Liquid was too special and could only be used for himself for the time being; if he were to take it out for sale, it would surely attract attention, which carried too much risk.

However, he currently only had a vague concept of manufacturing single-attribute Spirit Liquid, relying solely on a bit of theoretical knowledge from his past life; to realize this idea, he needed to delve deeper into Artifact Refining and Formation knowledge.

The Body Refining technique could not be neglected either, especially the Star Observation Art for cultivating Divine Sense, which he still hadn't even mastered yet; there was nothing he could do about that himself.

He set a goal for himself to strive for Foundation Establishment Perfection within fifteen years, after which he would consolidate his cultivation before heading to the Chu Family to attempt to reach the Golden Core Realm.

From then on, Wang Bin's life became regular and fulfilling.

Every morning, he would spend one hour cultivating the Star Observation Art, spend the morning on Qi Refining and Body Refining, and dive into the study of Artifact Refining and Formation knowledge in the afternoon.

At night, he would accompany his Dao Companions, sowing the seeds of hope for the Wang Family, and lived a very satisfying life.

White Cloud City continued to develop steadily as always, unhurriedly.

At first, Wang Bin was always on edge, worried that some Yao Beast might come to seek revenge because of the Azure Flame Bird incident.

But as the days passed, everything remained calm and peaceful.

Although he wasn't sure of the reason, he gradually relaxed, thinking that no matter what, he would deal with whatever came his way.

A new Wang Family Trading Firm opened next to the City Lord's Mansion, specializing in purchasing various Materials produced by the Demon Beast Mountain Range, while also selling a wide variety of items.

Almost all items needed by a Qi Refining Cultivator could be found here, and there were even Spiritual Artifacts for sale.

Rumors circulated in the city that this trading firm was actually run by the City Lord's Mansion.

There were also rumors that the Wang Family Trading Firm sold Foundation Establishment Pills, but one needed to spend one hundred thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones in the shop to be eligible to purchase them.

Wang Bin's efforts every night soon bore fruit, and with the help of the Pregnancy Qi Pill, the bellies of Du Xiaoyue and the others gradually began to swell.

Worried that cultivating would affect the fetuses, Wang Bin forbade them from cultivating and only allowed them to read Jade Slips and learn some theoretical knowledge.

Du Xiaoyue chose the path of a Spirit Chef, managing the affairs of the trading firm while studying the culinary arts, and she managed to balance both well.

Qin Wenjun eventually settled on Formations and was also responsible for managing the orphanage's affairs, with her maternal Family sending many people to help.

Li Qianqian studied the Spirit Water Art and was very interested in beast taming and raising Spirit Pets.

Following everyone's advice, Wang Zhaojun chose to become a Spirit Farmer, as farming relatively required less effort.

Yang Yuhuan learned Artifact Refining; she specialized in the Crimson Flame Technique and had a certain foundation of talent in Artifact Refining, though Wang Bin did not hold high expectations for her achieving significant success in this field.

In his view, as long as one was willing to invest Spirit Stones and practice diligently in these secondary professions, even if they couldn't achieve complete mastery, focusing on refining a specific type of Medicinal Pill, for instance, should make reaching a second-tier level quite achievable through practice.

After all, his own women were different from School Disciples; Schools often selected talent based on merit, and those with poor talent or no cultivation value were eliminated.

After all, School resources were limited and needed to be focused on nurturing potential candidates. His own Family did not have such concerns.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, ten months passed; Du Xiaoyue was about to give birth.

Du Juan specifically rushed over from West Sea City, though she was actually worrying unnecessarily; there was inherently no danger for Cultivators giving birth.

Cultivators could look within themselves and had the assistance of Divine Sense; most Cultivators who cultivated wood-attribute Cultivation Techniques knew healing spells, and there were numerous Alchemists in the Cultivation World, with all kinds of healing Medicinal Pills available.

As long as the Divine Sense and Dantian were not severely damaged, other injuries could be easily handled.

Sure enough, in less than three minutes, Du Xiaoyue successfully gave birth to a baby boy.

She cast a healing spell on herself, then walked out carrying the baby with Du Juan.

"Junior Martial Uncle, it's a boy, hee hee! It turns out giving birth doesn't hurt at all; I was really scared before."

Du Xiaoyue said with a happy smile on her face.

Although Wang Bin was not as emotionally overwhelmed as a typical new father in legends, he was still quite happy inside.

The birth of this child was like powerful proof that he had truly existed in this Cultivation World.

He smiled and complimented Du Xiaoyue a few times, but deep down, he couldn't help but sigh, feeling somewhat disappointed.

He had originally harbored a wishful thought that he might awaken a "More Children, More Blessings" System, but now it seemed there was absolutely no hope, and he had to resign himself to it and just focus on cultivating peacefully from now on.

Qin Wenjun and the other women watched from the side, and seeing that giving birth was so easy, they all felt relieved.

"Junior Martial Uncle, hurry and give our son a name! Look how cute he is!"

Du Xiaoyue held the child, her eyes full of maternal love.

Wang Bin frowned slightly, a look of hesitation on his face; in fact, there were some things he didn't want to say out loud right now, but he had to face them sooner or later.

"This is our first child, so let's name him Wang Wen for now.

In a Cultivation Family, only descendants who possess a Spiritual Root are eligible to be recorded in the Family genealogy.

When he turns six, we will determine his final name after checking his Spiritual Root.

My Wang Family has the poem 'Do Not Speak of the Bitterness of Life, Death, and Reincarnation; My Fate is Determined by Me, Not by the Heavens!' as our Family motto, and this is also the cultivation belief I have always adhered to.

If he is found to have a Spiritual Root when he is six, then he will be called Wang Xiumin; if he does not have a Spiritual Root, he will be called Wang Wen.

All your future children will follow this rule as well. Don't blame me for being heartless; Cultivation Families have always been like this."

"But he is also my own child!" Du Xiaoyue felt a wave of grievance upon hearing this, and her eyes turned slightly red.

"Of course he is our child; even if he has no Spiritual Root and is just a Mortal, he is still my child.

Even if he cannot Cultivate, I will ensure he lives a good life.

I specifically asked Aunt; West Sea City occasionally has Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects for sale that can allow a Mortal to obtain a Spiritual Root, but the starting price for such an item is one hundred thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, and usually only Golden Core or Nascent Soul Cultivators have the ability to bid on them.

Our Wang Family cannot afford it yet. Although we are both Cultivators, even if we have four children, it is not certain that one will possess a Spiritual Root.

If I or you had a single Spiritual Root, the probability might be higher.

Alright, today is the joyous occasion of my eldest son's birth. The City Lord is in a good mood; the maids in the mansion will have their salaries doubled this year. Let everyone celebrate together."
