Chapter 418: 418 Genius among Geniuses
The peach-colored skirted Tao Yao was standing under a peach tree, staring at the peach blossoms in a daze.
Ever since Tao Yao awakened her memories, the peach blossoms here have never teased her again.
She appeared rather aloof at this moment.
Her entire demeanor, too, was increasingly indifferent.
Qin Changqing did not disturb her.
After a while, she turned her head and saw Qin Changqing.
“Husband.”
Then, a smile emerged on Tao Yao’s face, as if a hundred flowers were blooming at once.
Qin Changqing gently embraced her.
The night became tender.
Tonight’s Tao Yao, initially aloof, gradually became more tender.
The night fell deeper.
Tao Yao lay on Qin Changqing’s chest, her fingers gently drawing circles there.
“Tao Yao, after reaching the Nascent Soul stage, your growth will accelerate, right?”
Qin Changqing asked.
Tao Yao nodded gently: “Yes, husband, but, husband, when I reach the Deifying stage and need to establish an Immortal Foundation, it should attract others’ attention.”
Deifying, huh?
“Nevermind, I am here.”
Qin Changqing said.
“Mhm.”
Tao Yao said softly; a single “Mhm” manifested her faith in Qin Changqing.
Then, Qin Changqing turned over.
The night once again became tender.
Following this breakthrough to Nascent Soul, Tao Yao’s growth speed indeed quickened.
At this rate, it’s estimated that within a few decades, she will reach Deifying.
An Immortal Spirit Root takes hundred years to form a Nascent Soul and two hundred for Deification.
Tao Yao will only be faster.
Though Qin Changqing hasn’t measured her Spirit Root yet, it should be almost similar to the Immortal Spirit Root, moreover, there’s the system enhancement.
Her Nascent Soul too is a top-tier Nascent Soul. Out of curiosity, Qin Changqing took a special look and found that Tao Yao’s Nascent Soul was even stronger than that of the Sect Leader’s.
But there’s still a significant difference from his.
Looking at it this way, even a Reincarnated Immortal can’t compare to the overpowered Qin Changqing.
That made Qin Changqing quite satisfied.
Even though he spent so much energy on his previous cultivation, it was all worth it even if Foundation Establishment took more than a thousand years and the Golden Elixir nearly ten thousand years.
This time, Tao Yao deliberately spent a whole month with Qin Changqing before retreating.
During this month, Qin Changqing was bathing in bliss.
The feelings Tao Yao gave him were exceptionally special.
Especially now, as her integrated memories from both lives sometimes made Qin Changqing feel as if he was looking at her past self, who was an Immortal.
At such moments, Qin Changqing was most excited, and his sense of achievement was immense.
Moreover, the current Tao Yao was no longer as tender as before.
After Tao Yao retreated, the half Dao artifact Qin Changqing created for Master Butterfly Cloud and Long Kui was also successful.
He offered it to Long Kui and decided to upgrade it to a full Dao Artifact when there were enough materials.
Long Kui could use it as a Lifebound Artifact and start nurturing it early.
Master Butterfly Cloud was still in retreat, so there was no rush.
Qin Changqing suddenly had more time on his hands.
His research on the Immortal Artifact Fragment was also increasing.
Another half a year passed, and the children of the three witches were born again, each one possessing a Spirit Root.
After the birth, the three witches recovered, and Qin Changqing visited them again.
Murong Xue became somewhat fearful whenever she saw Qin Changqing.
Not feared anything else, but feared of getting pregnant again.
She was terrified.
Over the years, she had given birth to nine children.
Now that Qin Changqing was here again, although the process was making her special, if she had another child, that would make it ten children!
But Qin Changqing truly harbored the thought of a perfect ten.
So he came around often.
“How is it possible, another one!”
As expected, two years later, Murong Xue was pregnant once more.
She really wanted to cry this time.
So many years had passed and the Love Seed had made little progress, yet she had given birth to ten children for Qin Changqing.
Moreover, deep down inside, she had grown more and more fond of Qin Changqing, sometimes even contemplating a heart-to-heart with him.
This was the beginning of the rebound of the Love Seed, this kind of secret method, even a reincarnated immortal could fall for it, it wouldn’t come without a price.
The price was, if it failed, they would be rebounded and end up deeply falling in love with Qin Changqing.
Of course, the Demonic Saint Official had precautions. If a rebound occurred, it would trigger a mark within their bodies, causing them to die.
Murong Xue sensed the crisis, but she was powerless to do anything about it.
A little over a year later, her tenth child was born.
The spiritual root of this child became the final straw, allowing Qin Changqing’s spiritual root to break through the second-grade spiritual root in one fell swoop.
“Second-grade spiritual root.”
In Qin Mansion, Qin Changqing looked at the magic treasure for testing spiritual roots. Now, his root was indeed a second-grade spiritual root.
Every time, after the system upgraded his spiritual root, Qin Changqing would test it himself. This had become a habit.
From third-grade to second-grade spiritual root, it took more than two hundred years.
During this time, descendants of the spiritual root had filled the quota twice, and it was almost full again.
He now had two first-grade spiritual root children, and after much nourishment, Qin Changqing finally managed to upgrade his spiritual root to the second grade.
Unfortunately, after reaching the heavenly spiritual root, the contributions from below the fourth-grade spiritual roots had significantly reduced.
But eventually, Qin Changqing’s spiritual root was upgraded to second grade.
Now, Qin Changqing was a bona fide genius.
By the standards of the Holy Land, third-grade spiritual roots would only be considered minor geniuses.
Second-grade spiritual roots would be considered major geniuses.
As for first-grade spiritual roots, they were rare, considered geniuses among geniuses.
Immortal spiritual roots, Holy Roots, or some special physiques, different spiritual roots, etc. they were not just geniuses, they were demons.
A second-grade spiritual root, although it couldn’t be compared with the first-grade, meant a lot to Qin Changqing.
At least, he didn’t face as many obstacles when fusing.
He could reach the stage of perfect fusion faster.
Normally, a third-grade spiritual root would have limited growth speed during the fusion stage.
The chances of encountering obstacles would increase.
Perhaps because Qin Changqing was progressing too fast, even though he took each step very securely, he had already encountered two obstacles in the fusion stage.
The third obstacle, during Tao Yao’s transition from Golden Elixir to Nascent Soul, still hadn’t been overcome.
Now that he had a second-grade spiritual root, it should be easier to advance.
All in all, this second-grade spiritual root breakthrough came at the perfect time.
The final boost to this second-grade spiritual root came from Murong Xue’s tenth child.
Although it was merely the last push, and didn’t mean much, Qin Changqing still decided to reward Murong Xue.
The reward was a few days of pampering after she had recovered from childbirth.
Naturally, Murong Xue wouldn’t resist being pampered by Qin Changqing, she was just scared of getting pregnant again.
This enchanting witch was really terrified, she had given birth to a total of ten children.
Looking at her timid expression, afraid of handling it later and looking at Qin Changqing’s peculiar expression, Qin Changqing…
“Xue’er, if you don’t want to have any more children, you don’t have to,”
Qin Changqing spoke softly.
