Longevity, starting from raising chickens

Chapter 254 Dilemma
"Your siblings are pregnant?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Feng looked at Wang Ba with great joy.

"Congratulations, Junior Brother."

And hearing this sudden news, Wang Ba was both pleasantly surprised and at a loss.

"How...how could it be?"

The two have been a Taoist couple for many years, but they never thought of having a child before.

First, the previous situation did not allow it. Second, in the stage of refining qi, monks often need to refine and transform qi. This essence is the essence of kidney, which is also the essence of reproduction. Give up practicing and concentrate on procreating future generations.

Otherwise most would not waste their time on procreation.

And once one passes through the Qi Refining Realm, the three elements are united, and the kidney essence is also mixed with it, making it extremely difficult to separate.

And even if they are separated, there will be very few innate Yuanyang in them, and the possibility of hitting is very small.

This is also one of the reasons why the higher the monk's cultivation level, the harder it is for him to have children.

Wang Ba's realm is not high, but now he and Buchan are both in the foundation realm, and the possibility of having children is very low. Coupled with the recent changes in the situation, the number of intercourse between the two has also dropped.

The last time they had sex, they still used the method of double cultivation given by Wen Yong.

And the method of dual cultivation is the way of Yuan Yin and Yuan Yang intermingling and converging, benefiting both sides with the way of Yin and Yang, so naturally it is even more impossible to give birth to offspring.

Counting forward, the last time I had sex was half a year ago.

He didn't doubt Buchan at all, after thinking about it, he still asked out the doubts in his heart.

Cultivation is no small matter, and reproduction of offspring is even more important for human beings, and Wang Ba did not dare to take it lightly.

"As you said, judging from the number of days in the womb of your Taoist partner, I am afraid it is related to the double cultivation method you practiced."

After thinking for a while, Tang Ji said, "Show me the pair of cultivation methods."

Wang Ba quickly handed over the double cultivation method that Wen Yong had sent to Tang Ji.

Tang Ji's divine sense swept over him, and he smiled immediately: "Hehe, if I guessed correctly, this should be Da Chu's method..."

Wang Ba was taken aback for a moment, can you see this?

Tang Ji saw Wang Ba's doubts and explained:

"You don't know that the Great Chu Dynasty is different from the Great Jin, Great Yan, and even Great Qi. There are few sects and sects in the country. Instead, they use blood as the hub to form aristocratic families and rule Great Chu. Among them, the most prosperous , is the royal family of Great Chu, the Xiang family."

"Because of their blood, they rarely recruit children from other races, and they naturally attach great importance to the reproduction of their own descendants. Therefore, they have researched a lot of double cultivation methods that can benefit both sides and improve the reproduction effect."

When Wang Ba heard the words, he suddenly realized.

He nodded in admiration and said:

"Senior Tang's eyes are as bright as a torch, this exercise is indeed from Da Chu's side."

"However, what else do I need to decide? Could it be..."

Tang Ji didn't sell it any more:
"This matter has something to do with your heir's talent."

"Heir talent?"

Wang Ba was slightly taken aback.

"That's right. Compared with spirit beasts, the human race is uniquely endowed with spiritual wisdom, so as long as they have spiritual roots, they can practice. However, the human race is also inferior to the spirit beasts. They cannot pass on their own realm to their descendants. Start practicing step by step."

"And whether it has spiritual roots is still unknown."

Tang Ji said: "However, among the monks of the human race, there are many powerful people who have come up with another method."

Wang Ba pricked up his ears involuntarily.

If possible, he naturally hopes that his descendants can also have spiritual roots. He himself has suffered too much in this regard, and he really does not want his descendants to suffer like this.

Tang Ji said:
"There are two ways."

"One, to cultivate the innate spiritual root, it is not complicated to say, in a word, to collect the spiritual objects of the heaven and the earth, to feed the innate body, the spiritual objects are divided into five elements, and they are nourished by them, and the five elements in the mother's body are full of energy , the possibility of being able to produce a spiritual root is naturally extremely high. Once successful, the baby's spiritual root will be stimulated from the day it is born, and the speed of cultivation will be far inferior to that of the spiritual root that is activated the day after tomorrow."

"It's just that it costs a lot of money, and it may not be able to really give birth to spiritual roots."

"Both, to strengthen the innate blood, even if there is no spiritual root, if you can keep the innate blood and continue to grow, you can use other spiritual things in the future to penetrate the channel between the physical body and the five elements, and thus indirectly achieve the spiritual root. As a result, the success rate of this method is extremely high, but because the energy and blood are too strong, I am afraid that in the future, I can only take the road of physical training."

"This method does not need to cost too much now, but I am afraid that the cost will not be small in the future."

Tang Ji explained the advantages and disadvantages of the two methods.

"This is the reason why I called you here. Both of these must be done during pregnancy. Once you miss it, it will be even more difficult to make up for it later. I also saw that this child was safe and sound in such a catastrophe. You must be a blessed person in the future, and you can't bear to be buried, but it depends on yourself, and others can't decide."

Hearing this, Wang Ba pondered for a while, but did not immediately make a decision:
"Dare to ask seniors, can I meet Buchan first?"

Tang Ji smiled slightly:
"You are Taoist couples, there is no reason to hinder you."

"But she is just recovering from her injury, so you should pay attention to yourself."

After all, he waved his sleeves.

When Wang Ba opened his eyes again, he found that the three of them had suddenly appeared in a wilderness.

There were several huts built in the wilderness, and a middle-aged woman whose aura was unfathomable, not inferior to Zhao Feng's, walked out of one of the huts with a tired face.

Seeing Tang Ji, his face darkened immediately.

However, considering that Wang Ba and Zhao Feng were still there, the middle-aged female cultivator looked at Tang Ji with a dark face, and said reluctantly:

"I've seen Master Uncle!"

Tang Ji couldn't hold back his face: "Cough, Xiaoxian, this is Zhao Feng, this is Wang Ba, Buchan's Taoist companion..."

"Ok?"

The middle-aged female cultivator was taken aback for a moment, her brows furrowed, she looked at Wang Ba, and said bluntly:

"You are Xiaochan's Taoist partner? What's the matter with you? You didn't even know Xiaochan was pregnant, and you brought her to fight the Golden Core cultivator?"

"She's just building a foundation!"

"If it hadn't been delivered in time, there would be no one left now!"

Hearing the other party's blatant reprimand, Wang Ba immediately felt guilty and did not dare to refute a word.

It's not because the other party is Jindan real person, but because he really feels sorry for Buchan.

If he hadn't been too confident, he wouldn't have had to fight in person even if he gave in.

Can only do nothing.

Zhao Feng on the side had no experience in this, and looked helpless.

Tang Ji couldn't stand it, and quickly dissuaded him:

"Okay, stop talking, just let him meet his Taoist companion."

Hearing this, the middle-aged female cultivator immediately frowned, staring at Tang Ji and said angrily:

"Who allowed it?!"

"Master Uncle, I managed to keep both of my mother and son. You let him in, and Xiaochan was very excited. What if I hurt my body again?"

"Aren't you fooling around!"

Tang Ji was pointed and scolded by the middle-aged female cultivator, but he also didn't dare to say anything more, and said resentfully:
"Isn't that what I said, all right, good nephew, don't talk about it, so many people..."

When the middle-aged female cultivator heard the words, the excited expression on her face eased a little, but she still said coldly:
"Little Cicada's condition is not as good as you think. If she doesn't raise her for a few years, she will definitely not recover. This is because of her good health, otherwise she will not be able to recover in this lifetime!"

Wang Ba's expression was serious, and he quickly bowed and said:
"This junior has met Senior Xian, thank you Senior Xian for taking care of my nephew, this junior will be grateful."

"What senior Xian says, this junior will definitely do as he says."

"I just don't know if there are any treasures or elixir that can help my wife recover... this junior will look for it now."

Wang Ba's eyes were extremely sincere.

When the middle-aged female cultivator saw this, her complexion softened a little. Although her tone was still a little cold, she was still a little loose:

"I don't need any treasures. After all, there is a fetus inside, and it's too much to eat suddenly... If you really want to see her, then come with me, but you can only stay for a while."

Wang Ba was overjoyed when he heard the words: "Yes, yes! Don't worry, senior!"

"Be quiet!"

"Yes!"

Wang Ba hastily lowered his voice.

Seeing that Tang Ji and Zhao Feng followed subconsciously, the middle-aged female cultivator glared at the two of them: "I look at my Taoist couple, what are you doing here!"

"Cough cough..."

Tang Ji blushed suddenly, and turned around quickly.

As if nothing had happened, Zhao Feng walked up to Tang Ji and asked for advice on cultivation.

……

Buchan lay on the bed.

With his eyes closed, his face was as pale as paper.

Even the blood vessels under the skin can be seen.

This was the first time Wang Ba saw such a weak Buchan, and he couldn't help feeling a little distressed in his heart.

Just as he couldn't help reaching out to touch her face, he suddenly heard a middle-aged nun's low voice:
"Can't touch!"

Wang Ba quickly stopped his hands.

However, it seemed that he had sensed the movement, and the eyelashes of Buchan who was sleeping slowly trembled, and then slowly opened his eyes.

Soon, some out-of-focus eyes fell on Wang Ba.

After a flash of surprise, his eyes lit up immediately.

"Master...brother!"

"Don't talk, just rest."

Wang Ba hurriedly said softly.

When Bu Chan heard the words, she was very obedient and didn't try to get up again.

It's just that his eyes were full of joy after seeing Wang Ba safe and sound.

But just with this action, Bu Chan's forehead was already sweating a lot.

Wang Ba felt very distressed.

Subconsciously, he reached out his hand to wipe her sweat, but suddenly thought of the words of the middle-aged female cultivator, and quickly shrank back.

Looking at Bu Chan distressedly:

"Why didn't you tell me that you were pregnant? If I knew, I would have sent you away before."

Buchan shook her head slightly, looked hard at her lower abdomen, and immediately showed a gentle smile on her face:

"I don't know myself, but luckily you didn't send me away, otherwise..."

Although she didn't speak again, Wang Ba already understood what she meant.

Fortunately, I was not sent away, otherwise how would I save you?

The middle-aged female cultivator stood aside. Seeing this scene, her originally cold eyes softened a little.

"Brother, do you have something on your mind?"

Bu Chan suddenly said.

Wang Ba was taken aback for a moment, thought for a while, and said helplessly, "I know I can't hide it from you..."

But he didn't say it out, but first consulted the middle-aged female cultivator at the side.

"Do you want to ask Xiaochan, whether to choose to cultivate innate spiritual roots for children, or to strengthen innate blood?"

"What's the point of asking, how much food you eat, don't big men know how to make decisions!"

The middle-aged nun scoffed.

Wang Ba's face suddenly became a little embarrassed.

Bu Chan listened to the side, and with her intelligence, she quickly understood the situation, her face showed a rare tangle, her eyes fell on Wang Ba, and immediately she seemed to have figured something out, stretched out her hand with difficulty, and held it. Wang Ba's palm:
"Senior brother, you have worked very hard these years. We are not those big clans of the immortal family, and we don't have such a solid foundation. I think it's better to just let nature take its course, as Senior Xian said. If he has spiritual roots, we can do it well." Cultivate, if not..."

Buchan couldn't help biting her lips, her eyes were slightly red:
"If not... then it's only because of this good luck..."

Without spiritual roots, without innate blood, it means that you will always be just a mortal.

A hundred years later, it turned into a handful of loess.

This makes Bu Chan, who is a new mother, how can she bear it.

It's just that in comparison, she can't bear the suffering of her Taoist companion.

After all, these years have been ups and downs, and she is well aware of Wang Ba's difficulties.

In a dilemma, only one side can be sacrificed.

Seeing Bu Chan's appearance, Wang Ba's heart trembled slightly.

But there was no emotion on his face, and he nodded:
"I understand, Junior Sister."

Bu Chan's eyes were red, but she still smiled and nodded.

"Okay, you go out quickly, her body can't bear such a long interruption."

The middle-aged female cultivator urged.

Wang Ba didn't dare to delay when he heard the words, and said: "Junior Sister, you should take a good rest here, and I will come to see you regularly..."

"let's go!"

The middle-aged female cultivator urged her repeatedly.

"call--"

The curtain was lowered.

Through the door curtain, Wang Ba stood at the door and stood silently for a long time.

A few people did not urge any more.

Finally, Wang Ba turned around, walked to Tang Ji's side, and solemnly saluted:

"Senior Tang, this junior wants both of these two methods, so I don't know how to do it?"

"Both?"

Tang Ji glanced at Wang Yan in surprise when he heard the words, and nodded immediately: "I'm not mistaken, you are indeed a courageous person!"

Immediately said directly:
"It's easy to talk about Zhuang Xiantian's blood. Some resources are only three or four hundred yuan high-grade spirit stones. You can ask Zhao Feng to buy them from the market on the border of Dachu. I will give you the specific things you need."

"Cultivating innate spiritual roots is a bit more troublesome. I am not in a position to help you because of the rules, but if you can save three or four thousand yuan of high-grade spirit stones, after you obtain the third-level qualification of the ghost market, I will help you." I can make it up for you right away."

"Three 4000 Yuan Lingshi?"

Wang Ba was moved when he heard the words.

He expected that it would be difficult to cultivate innate spiritual roots, but he did not expect to spend so many spiritual stones.

Not to mention anything else, he hasn't been able to save that much in his life.

And more importantly, after spending so much, it may not be able to cultivate innate spiritual roots.

Once it fails, three 4000 yuan spirit stones will fetch water directly from the bamboo basket.

Not to mention ordinary monks, it is estimated that those Jindan real people and even Yuanying Zhenjun will feel distressed, right?
After thinking about it, Wang Ba still gritted his teeth and asked:

"Senior Tang, is there enough time?"

Tang Ji said: "Don't worry, if you want to strengthen your congenital blood, your Taoist partner must be pregnant for at least five or six years to be effective."

"Five or six years?!"

Wang Ba was slightly surprised, but considering that the body of the monk who established the foundation was already far beyond that of a mortal, it is not so unacceptable to be pregnant for several years.

Just like those spirit turtles and spirit chickens, after the grade is promoted, the incubation period is also lengthened.

But if it's five or six years, that's fine.

There should still be hope for a third-order inner alchemy in five or six years.

Thinking of this, Wang Ba immediately asked Tang Ji to resign, and then left the ghost market with Zhao Feng.

"Brother, please help me with this matter!"

In mid-air, Wang Ba said seriously to Zhao Feng.

Zhao Feng seemed to have expected it long ago, and said with a slight smile: "The junior brother's business is my business, so why not help, but I have to wait for a few days."

Wang Yan was slightly stunned, and then couldn't help looking at the sword shadow behind Zhao Feng, his eyes lit up immediately: "Senior brother, you..."

"Yes, just now I specifically asked Senior Tang for advice, and now I have a way to restrain them."

Zhao Feng smiled.

With these words, Wang Ba was naturally no longer in a hurry.

Waited patiently for several days.

A few days later, the two hurriedly flew in the direction of Baiyunping.

……

South of Yan State.

Linglong Ghost City, first floor.

This day is not the day when the ghost market is open.

However, two people quietly appeared in the teleportation array on the first floor of the ghost city.

One is dressed as a monk, and the other is a tall man with a stalwart appearance.

Wearing a crown on his head and a python robe with four claws, with his hands behind his back, he looks like a mortal prince.

"Gao Wang, this is the first floor of Linglong Ghost City."

The monk bowed his head respectfully to this person.

Gao Wang nodded slightly, looking around:
"Although Yan Kingdom is guarded by this king, but this king hasn't come here for a long time..."

But at this time.

Gao Wang seemed to have sensed it, and suddenly looked back.

But he saw a monk in white standing leisurely not far away, looking at him curiously.

Gao Wang's pupils shrank slightly, feeling the breath of the other party, and immediately raised his hand solemnly and said:
"Xiang Huang, Prince Gao's Mansion of Great Chu, has met Daoist friends from Da Jin."

A trace of surprise flashed across the white-clothed monk's face, but he soon regained his composure, and also raised his hand in salute:
"I'm from the Tang Dynasty, I have met Gao Wang, but I don't know Gao Wang's sudden arrival, what advice do you have?"

Gao Wangxiang Huang heard the words and said calmly:

"Xiang Huang came here for one thing."

"Fellow Daoists, please fight against the Incense Dao together!"

　One more night
