Immortal Martial Arts Son-in-Law: Having Too Many Wives Isn't My Fault

"You're so mean!"

Su Wanqing nestled in Chen Hao's arms.

Su Wanqing's fingernails dug unconsciously into his broad back, and a murmur escaped from her throat.

Chen Hao reached out his large hand and gently patted her back.

His gaze, however, fell on the bed curtains above his head, as if deep in thought.

Just now, in the depths of his emotions, he vaguely felt a warm current rising from his dantian.

【Ding】

[Anomalies in Qi and blood have been detected within the host's wife, Su Wanqing. Yin and Yang are in harmony, and vitality is flourishing. Su Wanqing is currently pregnant.]

Chen Hao's body stiffened abruptly.

He lowered his head and looked at Su Wanqing, who was almost asleep in his arms, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down.

So fast?

[Ding! The host has obtained their first offspring, triggering the achievement "Bloodline Continuation".]

[Achievement Points +30.]

[Achievement Evaluation: The lineage has flourished, ensuring the continuation of the family line. In the world of cultivation, leaving behind a bloodline is a great merit. The host is advised to cherish this achievement.]

Chen Hao took a deep breath to suppress his excitement.

What can thirty achievement points bring me?

He had been waiting for this result for a long time.

Chen Hao looked inward at himself.

[Host: Chen Hao]

Cultivation Level: Qi Refining Level 3 (Can Break Through)

[Technique: Iron Rhinoceros Skill (Premium)]

[Achievement Points: 30]

[Can break through to the fourth level of Qi Refining]

[Has it broken through?]

"Yes."

[Breakthrough begins.]

A warm current surged from the depths of his dantian, many times stronger than the faint heat he had felt earlier.

That power spread along the meridians to the limbs and bones, like spring water thawing, washing over every acupoint.

A slight crackling sound came from inside his body.

That was the sound of meridians expanding and bones being tempered.

There is a barrier between the third and fourth levels of Qi Refining.

Although the early stage and the middle stage of Qi cultivation are only one level apart, they are completely different levels.

Only when one reaches the fourth level of Qi Refining can one truly step into the threshold of the mid-stage of Qi Refining.

Both the quality and quantity of spiritual energy will experience a qualitative leap, and the meridians' ability to withstand pressure will also be greatly enhanced.

The warm current circulated through my body a few times before gradually subsiding.

Chen Hao opened his eyes and felt an indescribable sense of comfort throughout his body, and his five senses became more acute.

The breakthrough is complete.

Su Wanqing stirred in his arms, seemingly sensing the change in his body, and groggily raised her head.

"Husband... what's wrong?"

"fine."

Chen Hao pulled her closer to his chest, placing his palm on her smooth, snow-white back and gently stroking it.

"Go to sleep."

Su Wanqing hummed in agreement, then closed her eyes again and quickly fell into a deep sleep.

Chen Hao, however, couldn't sleep.

He felt the spiritual energy within his body increase several times over, and then looked down at his wife in his arms.

Starting tomorrow, many things will need to be re-planned.

.....

The next morning.

When Su Wan woke up, she found that Chen Hao was no longer in bed.

She put on a coat and went out of the room.

They saw Chen Hao squatting on the spiritual field next to the spiritual well, holding a small shovel and loosening the soil.

"Husband, why don't you sleep a little longer?"

Chen Hao didn't even look up, continuing what he was doing.

Su Wanqing walked over, squatted down beside him, and looked at the small patch of soil that had been turned over and softened.

"Should we start planting medicinal herbs?"

"Um."

Chen Hao took out several small cloth bags from his pocket and opened them one by one.

Seeds of Iron Bone Vine, Seeds of Red Sunflower, Seedlings of Purple Salvia, and Seeds of Blood-Coagulating Grass.

There were also several other medicinal herbs collected from the market.

The seeds varied in quality, but in Chen Hao's eyes, each one had its own unique color and aroma.

Since he mastered the Qingnang Medical Classic, he could see these medicinal herbs and seeds as clearly as a butcher looking at an ox, with every vein and texture clearly visible to him.

He dug small holes, placed the seeds one by one at the bottom, then poured in a mixture of wood ash and lime, and covered it with a thin layer of soil.

Su Wanqing brought a bowl of warm water from inside the house and handed it to Chen Hao.

When will these seeds sprout?

"It can take anywhere from three to five days to ten days to half a month."

Chen Hao took the bowl and drank a sip.

"Iron Vine sprouts the slowest, but once it sprouts, it grows very quickly. Red Sun Flower and Blood Clotting Grass can sprout in about five or six days."

As the two were talking, they suddenly heard hurried footsteps coming from outside the courtyard wall.

Immediately afterwards, the courtyard gate was kicked open with a "bang," and Uncle Wang rushed in, covered in sweat.

"Something terrible has happened!"

Chen Hao and Su Wanqing exchanged a glance.

"What's wrong?"

"The Zhao family of Baiyuan!"

"The Zhao family cultivators launched a surprise attack on the spirit mine in Dongshan last night, killing several people and robbing the mine!"

Chen Hao's eyes narrowed.

Dongshan Spirit Mine is one of the most important industries in Sujiabao, and the spirit stones mined each year account for more than 40% of the Su family's total income.

The existence of this spirit mine is the foundation upon which the Su family was able to establish itself in the Qingzhu Mountain area.

The theft of the spirit mine is tantamount to cutting off half of the Su family's source of wealth.

"When the Su family's guards arrived, the Zhao family had already retreated, leaving behind only seven or eight corpses."

Uncle Wang's lips were trembling.

"Two of them were guards, and one was the manager. The array master on duty at the mine was also killed, the array was forcibly destroyed, and the spirit mine vein was sealed with a restriction. No one without a Foundation Establishment stage expert can open it."

"And what was the lady's reaction?"

Chen Hao asked.

"The lady ordered a news blackout and sent people to Dongshan to handle the aftermath."

"But it was no use, the news had already spread. Everyone in Su Family Fort knew about it, and the elders argued about it all morning in the council hall."

He paused, his expression turning even more grim.

"What's even more critical is that the patriarch hasn't shown up since the incident last night."

Chen Hao fell silent.

He certainly understood the weight of those words.

Sujiabao has stood firm in Qingzhushan for over a century, not because of its large or small population.

It's not that the business is particularly large, but rather that the Su family has a Foundation Establishment stage ancestor overseeing things.

The Foundation Establishment stage and the Qi Refining stage differ by only one word, yet they are worlds apart.

Even a Foundation Establishment cultivator, even one at the early Foundation Establishment stage, can crush ten Qi Refining stage experts.

In this area of ​​Qingzhu Mountain, the Foundation Establishment Ancestor is a living pillar of strength.

The Su family's ability to establish itself in Qingzhu Mountain and stand on equal footing with the surrounding forces all stems from their ancestor.

Even if the spirit mine were stolen this time, the patriarch wouldn't have intervened...

"There are already rumors outside that the ancestor... has passed away."

Upon hearing this, Su Wanqing's face turned pale instantly.

No, it won't.

She couldn't help but speak up.

"If the patriarch had truly passed away, how could the Su family be so peaceful now? They would have been long ago..."

She stopped halfway through her sentence.

Because she also realized that the so-called "stability" was being torn apart.

"There's one more thing."

"The Second Miss is returning from Qingjing Temple."

"Second Miss?"

Chen Hao thought of what Madam Su had said last time, and after a quick calculation, he realized that it was indeed time for the Second Miss to return.

"Su Qing Shuang, the second young lady of the Su family, is an ice queen with fair skin and jade-like bones. She has been cultivating at Qingjing Temple and has not returned home for many years."

"I heard that she came back this time... to find a son-in-law to live with her."
