Chapter 24: Chapter 24: Awakening a Special Physique_1
"Junior Sister, it's late, let's get some rest."
"Mm..."
Soon.
Bai Yan experienced the greatest happiness outside of cultivation for the first time.
[Ding~ You've married a wife, family member +1, Family Fortune +345, reward Youth Retaining Pill +1, breakthrough points +7.]
[Congratulations on your family fortune surpassing 5,000, the aptitude of all family members has slightly increased, spouse's special physique awakening search is ongoing, 2% chance of awakening special physique... Ding~ Shu Tian successfully awakened 'Childrearing' physique, current stage: Primary, effect: greatly increased spiritual roots of offspring.]
After a passionate night.
Qin Changqing received the system prompt, and he was stunned for a moment.
According to his understanding of the Many Sons and Blessings System, when family members, fortune, and offspring reached a certain stage, rewards would be triggered.
Last time the fortune was triggered, the talents of the whole family were improved.
This time, not only the talent was improved, but there was also a chance to awaken special physiques.
"Only 2% and she actually hit it, Shu Tian's luck is really good, isn't it?"
Qin Changqing quickly studied the phenomenon.
He discovered that this special physique awakening had conditions.
After everyone was born, there were some latent features in their bodies.
Some people had more obvious characteristics, especially those with powerful effects for cultivation, which became the special spiritual body that others talked about.
For example, Innate Sword Body, Innate Hydro Top-grade Spiritual Root and so on.
Of course, it could also be an unusual physique, like 'Childrearing', which was more niche, and maybe even 'S' or 'M' could be awakened.
But for most people, only the 'factors' of special physiques exist, which are usually in a dormant state, not so conspicuous, and may not wake up in a lifetime without accidents.
And this physique awakening, it's like probabilistically activating those factors.
Shu Tian's physique was originally prone to giving birth to offspring with strong spiritual roots, belonging to the kind with more active factors, and the hidden probability far exceeded 2%, so it was activated directly.
Of course, far beyond doesn't mean a 100% chance, maybe only 5% or 10%, it could only be said that she was lucky;
"I don't know what my hidden physique is, it would be awesome if I could awaken an 'Ancient Saint Body' or something like that.
Qin Changqing daydreamed for a while.
Then he considered the possibility of trying again with Shu Tian to see how powerful the awakened Childrearing physique really was.
System Panel
[Host: Qin Changqing]
[Spiritual Root: Tier 9 Superior]
[Cultivation: Tier 10 Qi-cultivating, breakthrough points 50/50]
[Side profession: Elixir Refining (Tier 1 Medium)]
[Family members: 19]
[Family Fortune: 5183]
[Offspring: 12]
"My spiritual root still hasn't broken through, it seems the difficulty of breaking through from Tier 9 to Tier 8 is even greater than I imagined."
"However... I have enough breakthrough points now."
Looking at the full 50 breakthrough points, Qin Changqing felt a burning passion inside him.
This was the second time since he had awakened the system that he had felt such uncontrollable excitement.
Almost forty years old, he finally was going to reach Foundation Establishment!
Thinking back to those years, when he was full of vigor and grandeur, fooled by the old man's words and sincerely believing that he would rise like the Dragon in the novels.
As a result, after twenty years of cultivation, his cultivation level had not improved, but his experience as a gigolo had certainly maxed out.
Now, approaching forty, he can finally establish his foundation.
Shaking his head, Qin Changqing suppressed his impatience and did not rush to break through.
Bai Yan's voice came from next to him.
"Senior Brother... It's strange, how do I feel like my body has changed a bit." n).OVelb1n
Just now, with the improvement of her family qualifications, she had received benefits.
Currently, her junior sister was lying on her side next to Qin Changqing, head resting on her arm, and looked up with a puzzled expression.
Qin Changqing said with a smile: "It's probably because you have absorbed my good luck."
Bai Yan looked bewildered.
"Don't think too much, there's still time, let's talk a little more."
A Tier 9 Qi-cultivating cultivator had a much stronger constitution than an ordinary person.
Qin Changqing turned over and resumed his arduous cultivation.Two days later.
Qin Changqing announced his closed-door cultivation.
Only a few of his wives knew about his attempt to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage,
while most people, including the servants of the Qin family, were unaware that their master was about to step into the threshold of becoming an immortal.
"The strongest Foundation Establishment, it's time for me, Qin Changqing, to rise!
In a secret chamber, Qin Changqing whispered to himself.
Ding——!
Ding——!
Ding——!
The Lingxiao Sect was filled with the sound of bells.
The bell sounded faint, but it seemed to carry a magical power that reached all the peaks, and all disciples could almost hear it.
For a moment, everyone looked towards the source of the sound.
"The Sect's Grand Competition, is it finally about to begin?!"
Everyone's faces were filled with unrestrained excitement.
Every three years was a small competition and every ten years was a major one, and this was the rule of the Lingxiao Sect.
The small competition was merely a trial for the cultivators of the qi-cultivating stage, and many genius disciples wouldn't even participate.
However, the grand competition was a matter of honor for each peak, with generous rewards.
Both in terms of spectacle and grandiosity, it could be called a grand ceremony within the Sect.
"There's still a month left!"
"I heard that this year's Grand Competition is a bit different."
"I heard that too, it seems that the top ten can receive personal guidance from the Sect Leader."
"It seems to be because..."
The sound of bells continued in the Sect, only stopping after the eighteenth ring.
But it seemed that the sound of the bells had awakened the silent Sect all at once.
The overflowing enthusiasm drove away the mist in the mountains, stirring up flocks of birds.
At the same time, flashes of light in the sky dashed across, as disciples wearing Lingxiao Sect robes flew through the sky on their swords.
These disciples who had been out traveling seemed to have timed their return back to the Sect impeccably.
Whoosh——!
A sword light fell on a small mountain of Xuanyi Peak.
Qin Lingshuang put away her sword, looked around, and then walked towards the main peak.
Circling around the empty main hall, she arrived at Mo Jiuzhou's residence, where Qin Lingshuang stood at the entrance of the courtyard and respectfully said: "Master."
"You're back?" Mo Jiuzhou's voice resounded, "Come in first."
Qin Lingshuang stepped into the courtyard and saw Mo Jiuzhou coming out of the house.
"It seems that you've gained quite a bit from this trip to Mang Mountain." Mo Jiuzhou glanced at her and immediately noticed her current situation.
Tier 7 Foundation Establishment.
With Qin Lingshuang's spiritual root, being able to break through several times in such a short period of time clearly required far more effort than others.
Of course, cultivation also can't rely solely on spiritual roots.
Every day of secluded cultivation in a cave residence is completely different from honing through experiences outside.
Qin Lingshuang had made the most out of her circumstances.
"Master." Qin Lingshuang couldn't help but ask, "With my current cultivation, how many places can I get in the Grand Competition?"
Mo Jiuzhou pondered for a moment: "You might have a chance at the top thirty.
"Only thirty..." Qin Lingshuang looked disheartened.
"Thirty is already very good. Do you know how many people are participating in this Grand Competition?" Due to the opportunity of being personally guided by the Sect Leader, such a great chance, naturally, everyone didn't want to miss out. Some people who were practicing far away were even called back by the Peak Masters of their peaks.
In all honesty, Qin Lingshuang's cultivation at only the Tier 7 Foundation Establishment stage wouldn't even be enough to make it into the top fifty.
But her comprehension was decent, and she had already reached the consummation stage with her Autumn Water Sword, and even condensed sword intent.
With the use of sword intent against enemies, she was more than a match for any average Tier 8 or even Tier 9 Foundation Establishment cultivators.
If she could make further progress, she would break through the shackles of sword arts and comprehend the sword intent of the Autumn Water Sword.
By then, it wouldn't be a question of the top 30, even the top 10 would be possible to compete for.
However, the Lingxiao Sect was so big, with all the main peaks combined, at least twenty of those who were eligible to participate in the grand competition had reached the Tier 10 Foundation Establishment stage.
Many among these people had also comprehended sword intent.
So achieving even the top 30+ would be quite challenging for Qin Lingshuang.
