Chapter 24: Life-Sucking System! Great Star-Plucking Hand!
At the same time, the system's voice sounded in Ye Xuan's mind.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for producing a descendant with spiritual root for the first time in the host's family. You have made a huge contribution to the building of the "Longevity Family Clan". You are rewarded with 500 years of cultivation and 500 years of lifespan; Grade-1 formation technique; Grade-2 alchemy technique; System Shop is opened.]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 100 years of lifespan. Reward: 100 years of cultivation. Critical Hit Reward of Divine Power: Great Star-Plucking Hand!]
…
Seeing the two golden notifications flashing on the system interface, Ye Xuan heaved a sigh of relief.
Logically speaking, the child of a cultivator might not necessarily have a spiritual root. It was just that the probability of having a spiritual root was slightly higher.
Therefore, Ye Xuan was also hoping for a fluke and was even prepared for failure.
If he failed, he would have to make Liu Ruyan go through it again and bear him another child…
Fortunately, his luck was good.
This was a huge gain.
…
In the next moment.
A large amount of information on formations and alchemy surged into Ye Xuan's mind.
Fortunately, Ye Xuan was already used to it. Moreover, his cultivation was not weak now. Although it was still a little painful, he could still bear it.
Apart from that, the divine power, the Great Star-Plucking Hand, also entered his mind and directly entered the elementary level.
Cultivation techniques were similar to laying a foundation and enhancing a cultivator's base and cultivation.
On the other hand, divine powers were like amplifiers that transformed a cultivator's cultivation into true combat strength in proportion.
The stronger the divine power, the more terrifying the combat power. It was normal to fight above one's level.
Of course, other than divine powers, there were also secret techniques. These were relatively rare, but they were even more powerful. Many of them were passed down from ancient times and were extremely rare.
Ye Xuan did not know what level the "Great Star-Plucking Hand" belonged to, but he knew that it was very awesome.
However, the more powerful a divine power was, the greater the consumption. It was extremely difficult to cultivate a divine power to great perfection.
…
Of course.
These were secondary.
What surprised Ye Xuan the most was the opening of the System Shop.
"Open the Shop!"
Ye Xuan directly opened the System Shop with his mind. In the next second, a list that only he could see appeared in front of him.
The list was densely filled with items.
Pills, talisman formation discs, magic artifacts, armors, and so on. There were all kinds of things.
The category that Ye Xuan was looking at now was the medicinal pills. There were all kinds of medicinal pills. The lowest level was Grade-1, and the highest level was Grade-3!
Beauty Retaining Pills, Qi Nourishing Pills, Essence Enhancing Pills, Foundation Establishment Pills, and so on, regardless of whether he had seen them or not, could all be bought in the System Shop.
The only thing that gave Ye Xuan a headache was that the common currency in the System Shop was not gold coins or spirit stones, but lifespan!
A Grade-1 Beauty Retaining Pill was priced at 30 days of lifespan.
A Grade-2 Foundation Establishment Pill was priced at 10 years of lifespan.
A Grade-1 Beast-Trapping Formation Disc was priced at 1 year of lifespan.
…
…
When Ye Xuan saw these prices, he suddenly felt a headache.
How was this a more-descendants-more-fortunes system? This was a damn life-sucking system!
Although the items were good, they were a little expensive.
He could afford to buy a little.
However, if his hands trembled and he bought too much at once, he did not know if he would court death.
When Ye Xuan thought of this, he shivered with fear and quickly took a look at his attribute panel.
[Name: Ye Xuan]
[Age: 33]
[Remaining Lifespan: 1,314]
[Cultivation: Level 7 of the Qi Refinement Stage (99%)]
[Profession: Grade-2 Alchemist (Elementary), Grade-1 Talisman Master (Peak), Grade-1 Formation Master (Elementary)]
[Cultivation Technique: Qi Inhalation Technique]
[Divine Power: Great Star-Plucking Hand (1%); upgradeable]
[Magic Artifact: Amethyst Furnace (Grade-1 Magic Artifact)]
As expected, an attribute has been added to his attribute panel—Remaining Lifespan: 1,300 years!
He had obtained most of it from having children. A small portion was an achievement reward. In the end, coupled with his lifespan as a Qi Refinement Stage cultivator, the figure was about there.
In addition, Ye Xuan also discovered that there was a red "upgradeable" option behind the cultivation progress of the "Great Star-Plucking Hand".
"Upgrade the Great Star-Plucking Hand!"
With a thought from Ye Xuan, an option appeared in the system: [Do you want to spend one year of your lifespan to increase the cultivation progress of the Great Star-Plucking Hand by 1%?]
"Eh?"
"So cheap!"
"Upgrade!"
"Give me the full level directly!!"
Without hesitation, Ye Xuan consumed 100 years of his lifespan and maxed out the Great Star-Plucking Hand.
A mere 100 years of lifespan was nothing to him.
This Great Star-Plucking Hand sounded extremely extraordinary. It seemed to have consumed 100 years, but in fact, he was freeloading.
"Buzz buzz buzz—"
In the next moment.
Ye Xuan found that the figure behind the Great Star-Plucking Hand on the attribute panel skyrocketed crazily.
10%
20%
60%
100%
…
In an instant, Ye Xuan's comprehension of the Great Star-Plucking Hand reached the full level.
Countless comprehensions of the Great Star-Plucking Hand surged into Ye Xuan's mind crazily, filling his head.
"Damn, so much…"
Ye Xuan felt as if his head was about to explode.
It was exactly the same as the first time he absorbed alchemy. He had never come into contact with or learned any secret techniques before. The content he received from the first initiation almost caused his brain to explode.
Ye Xuan was a little regretful. He was too careless this time. He should not have been so impatient…
…
After an unknown period of time, the Great Star-Plucking Hand was finally upgraded.
"Damn… Exciting…"
Ye Xuan was dizzy. He slowly spat out two words and then sat down on the ground.
…
"Family Head, are you alright?!"
"Family Head!!"
"Someone, someone come quickly!!"
In the courtyard, when the butlers saw Ye Xuan suddenly fall to the ground, they were all scared out of their wits.
In an instant, everyone in the courtyard was in an uproar. They were completely at a loss.
"Don't!"
"No need, I'm fine!"
Ye Xuan's face was slightly pale as he hurriedly stood up.
"Family Head, are you alright?"
Kong Qiu hurriedly went forward and asked with a worried expression.
After all, Ye Xuan was the pillar of the entire Ye Family. If anything happened to Ye Xuan, the Ye Family would probably fall apart!
"I'm fine. Don't worry."
Ye Xuan waved his hand and said quickly.
The impact just now was too strong. His mind was in a mess.
"Creak—"
At this moment, the door of the delivery room opened. A few midwives poked their heads out and asked, "What happened?"
"I'm fine." Ye Xuan quickly got up and quickly adjusted his state. Then, he quickly came to the door of the delivery room and asked, "How is it? Are both mother and son alright?"
"Family Head, don't worry. The mother and son are safe."
"Family Head can come in now."
The midwives smiled quickly and said respectfully. They also made way for him.
Although Ye Xuan had long wanted to enter the delivery room to accompany Liu Ruyan, most people in this world thought that it would be bad for a man to enter when a woman was giving birth. They were more superstitious.
Ye Xuan naturally did not believe this, but this was the immortal-cultivation world. Perhaps there might really be some effects, so he still chose to respect the customs of this world.
He only went in after Liu Ruyan finished giving birth.
…
When she entered the room, she saw Liu Ruyan holding her child in her arms.
The child had been washed. It was pink and tender, and the long umbilical cord still had some blood in it.
"Are you alright…"
"Thank you for your hard work…"
Ye Xuan hurried to the head of the bed and bent down to gently hold Liu Ruyan in his arms.
Liu Ruyan wanted to be his woman wholeheartedly. Like Luo Xin, her favorability reached 100.
Ye Xuan would naturally treat them better.
"Ye Xuan, you big baddie, don't even think about tricking me into giving birth in the future!"
When Liu Ruyan saw Ye Xuan coming over, the resentment in her heart completely erupted. She bit Ye Xuan's neck fiercely.
"Howl…"
"Hiss—"
Instantly, Ye Xuan sucked in a breath of cold air.
However, he did not dare to use his spiritual energy to defend at all. He even took the initiative to relax his muscles in case he hurt the child and Liu Ruyan.
After a long stalemate, Liu Ruyan finally let out her breath and slowly loosened her mouth. The most uptodat𝓮 n𝒐vels are published on n0velbjn((.))com
There was also a clear bite mark on Ye Xuan's neck.
"Okay, okay, be good~"
"It's alright…"
Ye Xuan held Liu Ruyan and the child in his arms again.
Seeing this, the surrounding maids and midwives were also very sensible; they retreated.
Only Liu Ruyan, Ye Xuan, and the little wailing one were left.

PS: The realm of this book hasn't collapsed. In the early stages, it was because the spiritual root was poor and the increase in cultivation was slow. Just look at the later few pages. Another ten more chapters to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm.
