Chapter 113: Eighth-Rank Artifact Refiner

Chapter 113: Eighth-Rank Artifact Refiner[The Year 60th, the grand ceremony of the Li family has concluded.]

[In the same year, Xu Ling'er, after ten months of pregnancy, gave birth to a son, named Li Tianshuang!]

[In the same year, Xiao Qing'er, after ten months of pregnancy, gave birth to a daughter, named Li Tianye!]

[Congratulations! Your descendant, Li Yunjie, gave birth to a son, Li Tianqi, after ten months of pregnancy...]

[...]

"Holy cow, they're so fertile!"

Before the year even ended, Li Wei was so excited that he stood up from his chair.

Especially since there were also notifications in the event log related to the family's development.

[Your descendant, Li Yunlie, now eighteen years old, seeing that his older brothers and sisters were all married, became quite anxious. So he sought out his childhood sweetheart, a girl named Yadan from Green Valley Village. After some conversation, he mentioned the bedroom secrets his older siblings had taught him.]

[In the throes of first love, Li Yunlie brought Yadan to meet his parents and grandparents. He bluntly stated his desire to sleep with Yadan. Xu Cuihua, thinking it was a childish joke, casually agreed. Li Yunlie, a man of action, sealed the deal with Yadan that very night in the cowshed.]

"That's the fifth pair," Li Wei said, feeling a bit dazed.

In the past, they were always urging the children to have babies, but now... they were popping them out one batch after another, so many that he couldn't even keep track of who was who.

And at this moment, in the Li family compound, Li Wei wasn't the only one feeling overwhelmed.

Xu Cuihua sat in the main hall.

In the past, she wielded knives, fought alongside her husband, and was the most powerful woman behind the Li family. But now, she was feeling a bit lost and overwhelmed. She held a chubby baby boy in her left arm and another chubby baby in her right, with a wooden stroller in front of her.

The three babies had formed an impromptu choir.

"In the past, she took care of the children one by one, even had help, watching them cry and fuss was a lighthearted joy, but now..."

"You, Ling'er, come here and take Tianshuang to Yunjie. Have him take the baby to his grandfather."

The woman who was shoveling manure wiped the sweat from her forehead. "Grandma, I'm not Ling'er, I'm... I'm Qing'er, and my husband is Yunzhen!"

"Grandma, I'm the real Ling'er! This is my child, Tianshuang."

"Grandma, where's my baby? I can't tell them apart anymore, Grandma."

Li Yunjie, who hadn't even finished his childbirth, was dressed in black iron beast blood armor, lifting the babies' pants one by one to check.

The scene was extremely chaotic.

"..."

Xu Cuihua's face was filled with despair. Ignoring the shouts of her granddaughters-in-law and granddaughters behind her, she put the child down and walked straight towards the seclusion area. She abruptly closed the stone door beside Li Dalong's cave.

Li Dalong, who was in seclusion, also heard the commotion and asked, "Wife? Why are you here in seclusion too? Aren't you a beast master cultivator?"

"What kind of good life did I have before?"

Xu Cuihua said something Li Dalong couldn't understand, then smiled, "Husband, the world is quiet now, it's great."

...

"Hahaha! My Li family is finally going to prosper! These children are truly great warriors!"

Li Wei was overjoyed. Naturally, he couldn't feel Xu Cuihua's pain.

As long as he wasn't the one raising the children, they were definitely adorable.

Only now did he truly understand the terror of exponential population growth without any family planning.

"When Yun Lie, Yun Qian, and Yun Xing all start having children, tsk tsk."

Soon, it was the next year.

[Year 61st]

[Your descendant Li Yunlie has married Ya Dan'er.]

[Gained Incense +10]

As more and more children got married, the Li family became accustomed to it. The elders, upon hearing the good news, would temporarily emerge from their seclusion, drink the tea offered by the younger generation, and then return to their cultivation.

Moreover, Ya Dan'er was pregnant. Xu Cuihua, who had just come out of seclusion, took one look at Ya Dan'er's big belly and her face changed drastically. She only drank half of her tea before rushing back to her cave and closing the stone door.

[Granddaughter-in-law Bai Rourou broke through in her seclusion and reached the Foundation Establishment stage!]

In this year, the Li family gained another Foundation Establishment cultivator. The chivalrous woman Bai Rourou emerged joyfully.

She helped take care of the children at home.

For the first two days, she was elated, telling everyone she had become a grandmother. But later, her face darkened, and she ran back into seclusion.

[Granddaughter-in-law Bai Rourou, has vowed not to leave seclusion until she reaches the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage!]

"My Li family's daughters-in-law are all so hardworking!"

Li Wei felt deeply gratified.

Good news came one after another this year.

Especially Li Yaotie!

This guy, who had been forging iron for several years, finally stopped swinging his hammer madly in the forge and collapsed on the ground, panting heavily. Sёarch* The Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

[You used 'Ancestor's Warmth,' consuming 20 Incense points.]

"Thank you, Ancestor, for your grace! Ancestor, I did it! Hahaha, I'm an eighth-rank Artifact Refiner!"

Li Yaotie laughed until he cried.

After so many years of forging, who knew how many times he had wanted to give up?

He suddenly realized that, like an iron tree that blooms only after years of patient growth, all his dedication and unwavering effort had finally led to this moment of triumph and fulfillment.

"Ancestor, look at it, look at this puppet."

Following the direction Li Yaotie pointed.

Li Wei saw his silver prosthetic limb, and there it stood, nearly two meters tall, with golden light flashing in its eyes... a bronze puppet!

[Your descendant, after years of forging and never giving up, has advanced his blacksmithing profession to——]

[Eighth-rank Spiritual Puppet Forger!]
