"Miss, push! It's almost out!"
"Miss, you can do it!"
Inside the Xiao Family courtyard.
The voices of midwives came from both the left and right rooms.
Maids carrying hot water constantly went in and out, very busy.
And Brother Li was anxiously waiting in the courtyard.
This was the first time he felt nervous.
Especially hearing the anxious shouts from the rooms, he became even more nervous.
Xiao Zhan and Green Scale were also accompanying him.
"Young Master Xiao Li, both young mistresses will definitely be fine," Green Scale said.
Xiao Zhan also patted his shoulder: "Second Brother, I know how you feel right now. After all, your dad was the same back then. But don't worry, Yu'er and the others will definitely be fine."
Actually, Brother Li wasn't worried that something would happen to them.
It was just that he inevitably had various emotions of nervousness, excitement, and agitation intertwined, which was unavoidable.
Finally, a joyful cry came from Xiao Yu's room,
"She's born! The young mistress has given birth!"
Hearing this, Brother Li immediately rushed in.
He lifted the curtain, came to the bed, and held Xiao Yu's delicate hand,
"Yu'er, you've worked hard."
Xiao Yu was covered in sweat, but at this moment, she also showed a weak but happy and sweet smile,
"Mm, Brother Li, let me see our child."
The midwife brought the child before the couple,
"Congratulations, Miss, it's a daughter."
The little one in the swaddling clothes hadn't opened her eyes yet, but her facial features were clearly somewhat similar to Xiao Yu's.
"Yu'er, the child looks very much like you."
"Brother Li, you name her," Xiao Yu said softly.
Brother Li had already thought of a name: "Let's call her Xiao Shuyue."
"Shuyue... That name is really beautiful."
Looking at the child in the swaddling clothes, Xiao Yu couldn't help but show a sweet smile.
Afterward, Brother Li handed the child over to the maid for careful care, while he gave Xiao Yu a pill to recover, letting her fall asleep... Just ten minutes after Xiao Yu gave birth, good news also came from the other room,
"She's born, Miss Xiao Mei has given birth!"
So Brother Li quickly rushed to the opposite room.
Inside the room, Xiao Mei lay weakly on the bed, her small face pale, drenched in fragrant sweat.
"Brother Li..."
Xiao Mei's face showed a heartbreaking smile.
Brother Li quickly stepped forward and took her jade hand,
"Mei'er, I'm here."
"Have you seen our child? It's a boy... He looks very much like you."
The midwife promptly brought the child before Brother Li; it was a boy.
"I see him, he's indeed as handsome as me."
"Mm, as handsome as you... Brother Li, please name him."
"Mm, let's call him Xiao Qingyang."
"Qingyang... That's a beautiful name," Xiao Mei smiled happily.
Handing the child over to the maid for care, Brother Li, as before, took out a recovery pill and gave it to Xiao Mei to help her quickly restore her weakened body.
From then on, the two women finally completed their most important mission... [Ding! Xiao Yu has successfully given birth to an heir!]
[Reward: Divine Artifact, tai chi diagram!]
[Divine Artifact, tai chi diagram: A legendary divine artifact, capable of refining everything. After an enemy is absorbed into the tai chi diagram, the tai chi diagram can be used to refine the enemy's cultivation into the host's cultivation.]
...[Ding! Xiao Mei has successfully given birth to an heir!]
[Reward: Divine Artifact, Exquisite Pagoda!]
[Divine Artifact, Exquisite Pagoda: A legendary divine artifact with astonishing defense. It can withstand attacks not exceeding two major realms above the host.]
The final rewards were also obtained.
"It's actually two divine artifacts?!"
Brother Li was shocked.
These rewards were simply too good.
Sure enough, the fewer the rewards, the better the rewards... Xiao Yu and Xiao Mei had successfully given birth to children, and Brother Li also stayed in the Xiao Family to accompany them for a period of time.
During this time, he did not forget to convert the obtained rewards into practical items for himself.
First, he consumed all the remaining two nine yang pure fluid, and his cultivation instantly broke through to a One-Star Dou Zong!
Dou Zong, not yet very strong.
But at the very least, it would be of great help for Brother Li's upcoming trip to the Black-Corner Region.
Then there was the heavenly soul crystal.
This was something that strengthened soul power.
Soul power was too difficult to improve; for ordinary people, only Alchemists could cultivate a little soul power, but not much.
To improve soul power, there was only an opportunity in the Central Plains.
And soul power greatly improved alchemy.
Soul realms are divided into Mortal Realm, Spirit Realm, Heaven Realm, and Emperor Realm.
Most Alchemists can only remain in the Mortal Realm their entire lives.
Those who can reach the Spirit Realm are all Alchemy Grandmasters.
The Heaven Realm can even refine ninth-grade pills!
The final Emperor Realm is the realm required to refine Emperor-grade pills.
Although Brother Li's alchemy had reached the seventh-grade, his soul power still remained in the Mortal Realm.
So, he decisively took the first heavenly soul crystal.
As a warm power enveloped his soul, Brother Li felt his soul sublimating, undergoing unprecedented strengthening, rising to the peak of the Mortal Realm!
Then, he continued to take the second heavenly soul crystal.
His soul power surged again, stepping into the Spirit Realm in one fell swoop!
Finally, the third heavenly soul crystal brought his soul power to the peak of the Spirit Realm!
Although he couldn't reach Heaven Realm soul.
But the soul power at the peak of the Spirit Realm was enough to make him superior to most Alchemists.
"If I had another heavenly soul crystal, I'd probably reach Heaven Realm soul, what a pity."
Although it was a bit of a pity, Brother Li's gains were already immense.
With his current strength, relying on his Spirit Realm soul power and various methods, even if he faced a Dou Zun, he would definitely not be afraid!
"Before going to the Black-Corner Region, I must significantly improve the Xiao Family's strength."
Brother Li decided to reform the Xiao Family.
Since his current strength was already so powerful, and he was also a Seventh-Grade Alchemist, he couldn't just enjoy it alone, could he?
If there are benefits, everyone should enjoy them together... The first thing Brother Li did was to refine a fifth-grade pill, the 'Marrow Cleansing Pill,' allowing everyone in the Xiao Family, from old men of sixty or seventy to children of ten or so, to cleanse their meridians and bones, improving their cultivation potential.
Then, he provided various pills that directly boosted cultivation to everyone in the clan who had reached Fighting Practitioner and above.
As for how much it could improve, it varied from person to person.
The biggest breakthrough was Xiao Zhan, who directly broke through from his original Five-Star Great Dou Shi to a One-Star Dou Ling!
If it weren't for the limited medicinal power of the pills in a short period, Brother Li would even have wanted to directly help Xiao Zhan ascend to Dou Wang.
However, after undergoing the effects of meridian and bone cleansing, Xiao Zhan only needed to cultivate diligently for a period of time, and breaking through to Dou Wang was just a matter of time.
In addition, the elders of the Xiao Family all broke through from Battle Master to Great Dou Shi.
There were also some who rose from Fighting Practitioner to Battle Master.
Due to the depletion of the Xiao Clan's bloodline, many people in the Xiao Family had very low cultivation potential, and even pills couldn't significantly raise it.
But every little bit of improvement helped.
Furthermore, what Brother Li particularly wanted to improve was actually the two women, Xiao Yu and Xiao Mei...
