Chapter 5: Give birth, give me lots of children!

Soon, Li Su discovered that the “Many Children, Many Blessings” system had undergone a new change after the number of his descendants exceeded ten thousand. The new change entailed an additional reward for every concubine he took, which was a Youth-Preserving Pill. Although the pill couldn’t extend one’s lifespan, it could bestow eternal youth.

Looking at it this way, the rewards from the system change based on the number of my descendants, Li Su pondered.

The accuracy of the “Many Children, Many Blessings” system was truly remarkable. The system’s rewards were not contingent on Li Su’s individual strengths. After Li Su reached the Foundation Establishment stage, there were no substantial changes in the system’s rewards. However, once the number of Li Su’s descendants surpassed ten thousand, a significant change occurred.

When the number of Li Su’s descendants exceeded 1,000, the “Many Children, Many Blessings” system didn’t provide tangible rewards but elevated Li Su’s majesty. It ensured that the entire Li family, including Li Su’s descendants, revered him as the patriarch without any disobedience. Now that the number had surpassed 10,000, the rewards had evidently improved.

Although the cultivation world contained a Youth-Preserving Pill, the materials required to create it were rare and difficult to obtain, making everlasting youth hard to achieve. Consequently, the system’s rewards were far superior. Furthermore, with an increasing number of descendants in the future, there might be even more changes to come.

“Nam Ming, the Li family’s business can now expand to the entire Wu Kingdom. You and your siblings should discuss and divide the territory amongst yourselves,” Li Su’s calm voice resonated in the main hall.

“Yes, Father,” replied several elderly men and women in their sixties and seventies with the utmost respect. These elderly individuals were all Li Su’s children. The contrast was striking—over a hundred years old, Li Su still appeared youthful, while his first batch of children had already grown old. The distinction between immortals and mortals was vividly apparent.

A few months later, Ning Xiaoyu gave birth to their second child, but unfortunately, the child did not possess spiritual roots. It was challenging for two cultivators to conceive children with spiritual roots. Even if they were both immortal cultivators, it remained highly improbable for all their children to possess spiritual roots.

However, one of the new concubines that Li Su had taken in the past two years had given birth to a child with spiritual roots, albeit of mediocre quality. Nevertheless, having spiritual roots was still a significant advantage. As a result, the Li family now had three descendants with spiritual roots. Li Su had arranged for numerous maids and matrons to care for these three children, intending to send them to the immortal sect once they reached the age of twelve. It was crucial for their bodies to fully develop before commencing their cultivation practice, as starting too early could have adverse effects.

Li Su’s own spiritual roots had also grown stronger. Under his new system of incentives, the Li family had seen a considerable increase in members this year.

“Bear more children, as many as possible!” Now that his own lifespan was no longer a concern, Li Su had decided to become a procreating machine, dedicating more time to expanding his offspring. With a larger pool, there would always be one or two descendants with spiritual roots. Moreover, there were rewards for increasing the number of offspring, which fueled his motivation.

Consequently, Li Su’s frequency of taking concubines significantly increased. After entering the foundation-building stage, many affluent families in the Wu Kingdom sought to marry their daughters to Li Su, making it easier for him to acquire concubines than before.

“Husband, how am I getting pregnant again so easily?” Ning Xiaoyu voiced her worries again. It wasn’t simple for cultivators to conceive, yet Ning Xiaoyu seemed to possess a particularly fertile physique. Under Li Su’s cultivation, she became pregnant again less than a year after giving birth to their second child.

They had been married for less than four years, and she had already conceived three children!

Wow, how is she so fertile? Li Su wondered happily.
