Chapter 3

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Lin Bai instantly remembered the ridiculous dream from ten months ago.

“Could it be…Was that dream real?” Lin Bai was a little shocked.

However, the little junior sister never appeared again. She didn’t even come to the spirit fields. However, it was normal. If a cultivator went into seclusion, a few years would pass in the blink of an eye. Moreover, Li Yueling was talented, so she would probably spend more time on her cultivation.

In his dream, the little junior sister had also said that she would not come to see him often.

However, when the little junior sister came, how did she avoid the Formation Spell? This spirit field’s Formation Spell could not be so easily bypassed.

Of course, there was another possibility. It was not the little junior sister who came that night, but some demon…

The sect’s spirit field was very wide. What if something demonized inside?

Lin Bai looked at the vast spiritual field and covered his forehead, feeling a little speechless.

Could it be that he had been targeted by some demon?

Fragments of some of the novels read before he transmigrated appeared in his mind. The scholar met a beautiful woman on the mountain at night.

However, the ending was not very good. The spiritual demon did not look for love, but to absorb his yang energy.

Should I report this to the elders? Lin Bai suddenly felt a sense of danger lurking in the spirit fields

His mind was in turmoil…

Don’t panic, think about it…

The system’s prompt could not be wrong. He had a child now, but where was his child now? It was another key problem. His child should be a human, right?

Of course, he couldn’t sort out these questions no matter how hard he thought about them. However, one thing was clear. His cultivation level had increased, as also his lifespan.

Because he had broken through to the third level of Qi Refinement, he now felt his strength soaring. Even the speed of hoeing the spirit fields had increased a lot. He didn’t even notice that he looked much younger than before.

This was the advantage of increasing one’s lifespan!

It was extremely difficult for ordinary cultivators to rely on external objects to increase their lifespan. Their lifespan directly determined whether they could cultivate successfully. Some cultivators were stuck at a certain level because they did not have enough lifespan. If they were given more time, they might be able to break through.

And miraculously, the system increased his lifespan and made him look younger. Many cultivators could only achieve similar effects by taking the pill or using some special methods.

Now that he was at the third level of Qi Refinement, he even felt that if he cultivated a little more, he might soon reach the fourth level of Qi Refinement.

Lin Bai thought for a moment and did not report this matter to the elders. After all, a long time had passed and it had implicated the little junior sister. He had to be careful.

And what if it was really the little junior sister that night?

Also, he’s now a father! Lin Bai couldn’t help but feel emotional.

“Junior brother, why are you so fast at hoeing today?”

As Lin Bai was lost in thought, Brother Hu’s voice came from nearby.

Brother Hu walked very fast. Before long, he arrived in front of Lin Bai. He exclaimed.

“Junior brother, why do you look a little different today?”

Seeing that Lin Bai did not reply, he walked around.

Although Brother Hu’s cultivation was stuck at the second level, he had learned a lot of things over the past few decades. His eyes were very sharp, and he could see the change in Lin Bai at a glance.

“You…broke through?” Brother Hu’s tone was filled with disbelief, anxiety, and excitement.

“Yes, I broke through!” Lin Bai smiled slightly.

He could understand Brother Hu’s current feelings. People like them who had been stuck at the same level for a long time might not be able to advance any further in their lives.

There was no other reason. His aptitude was really very poor.

Lin Bai was the same as Brother Hu in his previous years.

Brother Hu had been stuck for decades, unable to advance any further. There was no hope at all.

But now, Lin Bai had broken through.

Brother Hu stomped his foot, and his cheeks were filled with air. He shouted into the distance, “Lin Bai! Broke through!”

A strong wind seemed to have blown across the spirit field. Many figures dropped the tools in their hands and quickly ran toward Lin Bai.

The few who ran the fastest were already in front of him.

The slowest one was the stooped old man.

Immortal road…

Many people fell at the starting line.

Many cultivators who worked in the spirit fields were unable to break through. They were at the lowest level of the sect.

“Hurry up! Go and report to the elders!”

Someone shouted.

None of them made a breakthrough in decades. Once someone broke through, it would be a great joy.

“Senior brother Lin, we’ll call you senior brother from now on!” Someone laughed.

None of them had a master, and they called each other senior brother or junior brother according to their strength. This was more flexible. For example, that old man, everyone would call him senior brother.

“Senior brother Lin, you’re the best!” The group of cultivators bowed to Lin Bai.

Lin Bai bowed in return, feeling a bit uneasy inside. He knew that these people were enthusiastic towards him not only because they respected him as a senior brother but also because they wanted to learn from his experience on how to break through.

However, could he tell them that he had broken through because he had a child?

When he broke through, he was still swinging his hoe in the spirit field!

Just as everyone was discussing how to celebrate tonight, the person who reported to the elder returned.

To them, who were at the bottom, Lin Bai’s breakthrough was a big deal, but to the elders, they actually didn’t care much.

This was because there were too many low-level cultivators like Lin Bai who could not break through.

The elder in charge of the spirit fields was a cultivator at the Golden Core stage. He didn’t really take care of things, and there were other deacons below him.

However, for those at the bottom, there would be some rewards if broke through.

“Elder Wu said that you can go to the sect to get a bottle of Peiyuan pills. In the future, you have to work harder.” a cultivator delivering the message said.

The sect’s pills were generally not distributed to them, but Elder Wu, who was in charge of the spirit field, was still relatively kind to them because of their contribution to guarding the spirit field.

After breaking through, these people didn’t bother him with too many questions and told him to quickly go back and consolidate his cultivation.

Some even helped Lin Bai fetch the Peiyuan pills.

…

At this moment, Lin Bai had already returned to his house. He looked at the Peiyuan pills in his hand, opened the lid, and smelled it.

His body felt refreshed. It was a good pill.

However, this thing might not be of much use to him.

The Peiyuan pill was commonly used by some cultivators to help their cultivations. However, it could not help a person to break through. It could only provide a slight boost.

Otherwise, these people would not have been stuck for so long.

If he wanted to break through, he only needed to keep marrying and having children.

Previously, he had been unable to advance any further. Now that Lin Bai sat cross-legged and tried to cultivate again, he realized that his cultivation speed seemed to be a little faster than before.

His heart skipped a beat. Could it be that his aptitude had also improved with the help of the system?

…

Unconsciously, he seemed to be in a state between cultivation and a dream.

Lin Bai felt someone knocking on the door.

“It’s so late. Who would come?” Lin Bai opened his eyes slightly. This feeling was familiar to him. It was a little similar to the dream about the little junior sister last time.

He instantly perked up. Again?

Once a year?

Lin Bai felt nervous because he was only at the third level of Qi Refinement and didn’t have many attacking methods. If the “little junior sister” was really a demon, he wouldn’t stand a chance!

Could it be that it was here for the Peiyuan pills?

Lin Bai looked at the place where the pill was placed.

“Dang, dang, dang!”

“It’s me, I’m here!” Little Junior Sister’s voice came from outside the door.

After such a long time, her voice still sounded so familiar.

“I’ll open the door myself!” the little junior sister pushed the door.

Today, she was wearing a light blue dress. The dress was relatively short, and it seemed to be shorter than last time.

“Senior brother, you’re a father today!” Li Yueling looked at Lin Bai with a smile.

“Ah, I’m a father?” Lin Bai asked knowingly.

My child…Was he or she a human?

Lin Bai was very worried.

“What’s wrong? Are you unhappy?” She asked and blinked at Lin Bai.

“I’m very happy.” Lin Bai forced a smile.

However, when he saw Li Yueling holding the child and standing at the door, he suddenly had a sour feeling in his heart. It must not have been easy for her to give birth to the baby alone.

He took the child and looked at the baby in the swaddle. The baby stared at him with bright black eyes. Their bloodline resonated, feeling particularly close to each other.

This…Looked like a human
