Year 3681 of the Mountain Sea Calendar.
The Zhou Family, having relocated to Bailu Marsh, ceased all external conflicts, focusing solely on recuperating and restoring their Yuan Qi.
It is rumored that the Zhou Family Ancestor, facing his final days, took out his lifeti savings to support the clan’s High Order Cultivators in reaching higher realms, while also encouraging so low-realm family mbers of unremarkable talent to freely procreate for the clan’s growth.
This is a dual approach, enhancing upper-level combat power while bolstering the foundational population.
Moreover, the Zhou Family Ancestor personally t with the Clan Chiefs of the Qingtong Lin Family and the Yin Family of Cold River Valley, creating a harmonious and developing alliance with them.
The process went smoothly.
The Qingtong Lin Family and the Yin Family of Cold River Valley are just ordinary mbers among the countless Han Gates of the Tianyuan Daoist Sect. Their so-called Clan Chiefs are rely Golden Core Cultivators. Facing the honored association of the Zhou Family Ancestor, a Nascent Soul True Master, they naturally accepted gladly.
Thus, the previously unstable external situation of the Zhou Family seed to have stabilized.
At least, until the Zhou Family Ancestor’s seated death, this alliance of one Nascent Soul Family and two Golden Core Families maintained temporary stability on the Tian Nan Continent. In terms of strength, the Zhou Family Ancestor of the Sixth Layer of Nascent Soul held the fort; in terms of connections, the Lin and Yin Families were also considered part of the Daoist Sect’s influence, so no one would intentionally cause trouble.
As for when the Zhou Family Ancestor would et his end?
Although there were many speculations from the outer world, seeing the Zhou Family Ancestor so active ant no one could determine the exact ti.
After the alliance among the three families, the Zhou Family Ancestor no longer went out but did not enter Closed-Door Cultivation either; instead, he frequently appeared within the clan, guiding three Golden Core cultivators as well as so Foundation Establishnt juniors with the potential to break through to the Golden Core Period.
One might say, the Zhou Family Ancestor lived up to being a Long-term Nascent Soul; under his personal guidance, in just a year, the Zhou Family gained two more Golden Core Cultivators!
This pace of restoring Yuan Qi elicited much envy from the surrounding forces.
Being able to cultivate is one thing, but being able to teach others to cultivate is another.
However, the details within, they didn’t really understand.
On this day.
Deep within the seemingly dismal and toxic insect and snake-laden Bailu Marsh, a visitor arrived.
Clad in simple white clothing with coral branch patterns, wrinkle marks evident but with a rosy complexion, it was the Zhou Family Ancestor, Zhou Yunshen.
As he ventured deeper into Bailu Marsh, the surrounding miasma parted as if sentient, creating a path for him, as if welcoming him.
Zhou Yunshen watched this scene with a slightly complex expression.
The strength shown casually by the one dwelling deep within Bailu Marsh was simply too astonishing.
This kind of naturally occurring miasma had a special effect of contaminated Spirit Qi that no Cultivator dared to touch even slightly. He indeed could handle it, but being of advanced age, he didn’t have the mind to manage it.
Yet, in that one’s hands, these miasmas transford into extrely docile pets, maneuvering freely at will.
Suddenly.
A clangorous, tallic sound resonated from within.
"Old friend, you’ve co."
When the miasma dissipated, Zhou Yunshen exhaled a mouthful of Turbid Qi and stepped into a Shuilian Cave.
Looking at the man seated like a sharp sword, he expressed with a complex mix of gratitude and respect: "With the Elixirs and Core Formation Experience you provided, the Zhou Family has gained two new Golden Core Ascendant Masters a few months ago."
The black-clad man kept his eyes closed, saying calmly: "Zhongzhou’s collapse, they survived and their current realm is rely a blessing after surviving a calamity."
Zhou Yunshen shook his head, "I still have to thank you in the end."
"If it was just to thank , why take this trip today?" The black-clad man held a blood-colored longsword across his knees, surrounded by traces of Three-color Nine Sky Qi, which gradually fused into the longsword along with his Mana Refinent. "Speak, has there been progress with my matter?"
Zhou Yunshen, as if making a firm decision, spoke heavily: "We found it!"
Luo Chen’s fingertip paused, pressed onto the sword, and his eyes shot open in a brush.
Zhou Yunshen shook his head, speaking slowly: "In a year, under the condition of removing all resource restrictions, thirty-seven won in the Zhou Family beca pregnant. Using the top-grade water lotus seeds you provided, we tested that nine of the fetuses possess comndable Water Spirit Qi affinity. In other words, these nine children potentially have a Water Spirit Root."
Luo Chen raised an eyebrow, "Probability that high?"
Zhou Yunshen smiled wryly: "I instructed those in the clan without the potential to break through the Golden Core Period to set aside all mundane affairs and fully dedicate themselves. Additionally, during the process, we used the special Spirit Gathering Array you provided, which led to these results."
For mortals, it’s extrely rare for even a thousand to produce a child with a Spirit Root.
However, if both parents are Cultivators, after undergoing Washing Marrow and Chopping Bones and decades of Spirit Qi imrsion, it’s much easier to conceive a child with a Spirit Root.
This is why Central Continent Families are abundant with talents possessing Spirit Roots.
If, during the conception process, they were under the influence of Luo Chen’s specially adapted array, it’s highly likely they would birth a child with a Water Spirit Root.
However, before the fetus is born, or even until they reach eleven or twelve years old, it’s hard to detect their Spirit Root. But this is not difficult for Luo Chen; he possesses water lotus seeds from the Fourth-Tier Five Elents Lotus Platform, which, when paired with the corresponding Technique, can vaguely sense the presence and general attributes of a fetus’s Spirit Root.
It can be said that Luo Chen ticulously planned from the start for the Life Soul acquisition.
From Zhou Yunshen’s perspective, this should be enough, unclear why Luo Chen particularly reminded him to notify him at this point.
