Chapter 700 - 491: Returning Home, Delivery of Goods
The doctor stared at Zheng Yi for a while, making Zheng Yi feel a bit awkward, before finally speaking: "Fellow Daoist Zheng Yi is a person of fortune."
The doctor slowly walked away, and Zheng Yi touched his nose.
Indeed, he possessed the Yin Yang Treasure Mirror.
This was his greatest fortune, and Zheng Yi was happy to admit it.
Thus, the three women in Zheng Yi Mansion all became pregnant.
He could only remain pure and abstinent, as it was impossible for him to act solely out of selfish desires.
Zheng Yi focused most of his energy on alchemy, significantly advancing his progress in refining.
In the backyard.
After the three women gathered together for dinner.
Seeing Zheng Yi directly go to the Cultivation Area every night and not visiting any of their courtyards, the women felt concerned.
"The master works hard."
Wang Qingg said.
"Sister Wang Yumo, it’s all your fault.
You’re not pregnant now, so can’t you take more care of the master?"
After Wang Xue became pregnant, she grew bolder and said dramatically.
"Heh, you silly girl, your head is empty but your guts are big.
Don’t you two know how capable the master is?
Besides, I have to tend to the children. Even if my cultivation has advanced, I can’t attend to the master every day."
Wang Yumo spoke up, leaving the other two women speechless.
The magnitude of Zheng Yi’s abilities.
These inner house women were the most knowledgeable.
"What shall we do then?"
Wang Xue, not clever, couldn’t come up with any ideas.
Wang Qingg’s eyes flickered, "Then we can only persuade the master to find a few more sisters.
But this time the master must find someone with a Spirit Root."
Wang Qingg, seeming to take a daring leap, spoke up, leaving Wang Yumo and Wang Xue next to her shocked.
The two hesitated with their lips before finally nodding.
In this brief year, Zheng Yi indeed treated them extremely well.
They could not be too selfish.
On the other side, inside the Alchemy Pavilion, Zheng Yi calculated his alchemy progress and felt the Spirit Condensing Pill was almost ready to be unveiled.
The next day.
Zheng Yi arrived at the Alchemy Pavilion and entered a room.
When he finally stepped out, he carried with him the jasmine-like scent of the Spirit Condensing Pill, once again deeply shocking several nearby alchemy apprentices.
The leading alchemy apprentice’s mouth twitched as they looked at Zheng Yi as if seeing a born monster: "Did you manage to successfully refine the Spirit Condensing Pill?"
Zheng Yi humbly smiled: "Just sheer luck, pure luck only."
The nearby alchemy apprentices exchanged glances, each feeling their heart shaken.
Having luck once is justifiable, but not every time.
Repeated success indicates true skill.
The alchemy apprentices smiled wryly and said: "It seems Fellow Apprentice Zheng Yi’s alchemy talent is even more formidable than we imagined."
"Master Zhang would go mad with joy upon hearing this."
...
This time, the news from the Alchemy Pavilion did not spread further within Wang Family.
Zheng Yi’s alchemy talent had previously been proven many times, and although the efficiency was slightly improved this time, it was still expected by everyone.
Earlier.
Master Zhang accepted a mission and went out.
It was heard that he exchanged clan contribution points for several defensive Spirit Talismans, and spent a lot of savings, yet it was unknown what his purpose was.
He left Wang Family for half a year.
...
Fortunately, before leaving, Master Zhang had stockpiled a large amount of Spirit Pills for Wang Family, and this outing had a clear deadline, with many late-stage Qi Cultivation Elders accompanying him.
Thus, there was no danger.
Wang Family remained calm and uneventful.
Half a year later, another three months passed.
The ten-month pregnancy term was fulfilled.
These few days were the days when Wang Qingg, the eldest lady in Zheng Yi Mansion, was due to give birth.
The entire mansion was extremely cautious.
Especially in Xinghua Garden, where Wang Qingg resided, none dared to relax for a moment.
After all, since Master Zheng Yi had a Spirit Root, if the child born also possessed a Spirit Root, it would be a future cultivator, naturally requiring extra attention.
The sky was overcast, the wind howled.
After a sudden clap of thunder, rain poured down.
"Born! Born!"
As the sound of a child’s cry rang out, including Wang Yumo and Wang Xue waiting with Zheng Yi outside the room, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Women crossing the threshold of childbirth likened to the gate of hell, most likely could lead to unexpected events.
But in a cultivation clan like Wang Family, with Spirit Pills for nourishment, experienced midwives, combined with the unique efficacy of Spiritual Power, childbirth still bore risks.
But nine times out of ten would be safe and sound.
Moreover, previously Zheng Yi had his wives practice martial arts, nurturing their bodies, further reducing risks.
"Congratulations, master, congratulations, master, it’s a young master!"
The midwife shouted with a joyful face.
Even in a cultivation clan like Wang Family, there still existed a certain degree of gender preference.
Although this perception would gradually fade as the child’s cultivation talent showed, in childhood, there was still a preference for boys.
It couldn’t be denied.
During girls’ monthly course, their bodies were at a disadvantage.
Especially for a small family like Wang Family, this situation was more apparent.
"Good, everyone shall be rewarded!"
Zheng Yi appeared joyful, but inwardly remained calm as water.
He had many children.
The excitement, unfamiliarity, anxiety, and hesitation he felt when first becoming a father had long since vanished.
"I wonder if the child in my belly is a boy or a girl."
Wang Xue sighed in relief, then immediately began to worry again.
She timidly looked at Zheng Yi, and asked: "Master, do you prefer boys or girls?"
Zheng Yi maintained his serious demeanor and said earnestly: "Of course I like girls, ideally as beautiful as their mother. When she grows up, she’ll surely be a graceful young woman, delicate and lovely, how adorable."
