Chapter 217: Chapter 215 Burning Flame Body Yang Qiangjin
Yang Shi found the topic raised by the ancestor too absurd, and with Hu Yue right beside him, it wasn’t convenient for Yang Shi to communicate with the ancestor. So he pretended as if nothing had happened.
However, the way he looked at Hu Yue also carried a hint of something else.
After reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage, Hu Yue had transformed into a human, retaining only a pair of fluffy cat ears. She looked like a young girl, about the same age as Yang Fuqing, which made the 63-year-old Yang Shi feel slightly unnatural.
Although he and Hu Yue were almost the same real age.
Thinking that his lifespan was only 150 years, while the long life of the Demon Clan meant that Hu Yue was still in her girlhood, Yang Shi suddenly sighed.
“Yang Shi, you seem troubled.”
After several teachings from Yang Shi, Hu Yue now called him by his name directly.
“Yes… The years pass so quietly. A hundred years later, you will still be as splendid, while I may already be under the soil.”
“Do you only have 100 years of lifespan left?”
Hu Yue seemed somewhat incredulous. In their Demon Clan’s records, human high-rank cultivators had very long lifespans, not at all inferior to theirs in the Demon Clan.
Yang Shi was clearly very powerful…
“Perhaps, 100 years is already quite long. Who knows, there might still be miracles… By the way, you should stay in Bright City for now since you’re free. Take a good rest. Everything is here. Many interesting events have occurred over the years. By the way, I also have two sons, their stories are very, very fascinating, you will definitely like them.”
“Yang Fu and Yang Fushuo?”
“Yes! You held them when they were little.”
“Alright, I’ll wait for your story.”
Hu Yue went to rest for a while.
Yang Shi, stirred by the ancestor’s words, returned to the Yang Family ancestral shrine in Bright City.
Yang Shi lit an incense stick.
“Ancestor, I have thought about what you said for a long time… I understand your point, the Yang Family wants to flourish and prosper, to bear many children, never to return to the peril of being the only descendant like I was.”
“I know Hu Yue has high talent, and you said that the parents’ talent would affect the future children.”
“Hu Yue is a very innocent member of the Demon Clan. I, who was once a beggar, have never looked down on any person or race, and I am not afraid of the difference between humans and demons.”
“But how should I cope with the difference in years? Decades later, she will still be a young girl, and I will have become an old man. If I do not break through to the Divinity Realm, my lifespan will also come to an end. How can I explain it to her?”
Yang Shi was always a responsible man, doing what needed to be done for the Yang Family, for Murong Senior Sister, for Bai Senior Brother, and for the Danai Dynasty…
“Ancestor, if we already know the future will be a tragedy, wouldn’t that be too cruel to Hu Yue?”
In the face of Yang Shi’s words, Yang Genshuo had a hundred reasons in his heart.
He could even throw the Earth Spirit Pavilion’s secret manual “Top Ten Advantages of a Demon Clan Daoist Couple” to Yang Shi to read.
But this was not fair to Yang Shi’s true feelings.
If he himself could not get over this hurdle, everything would be awkward.
“Yang Shi, you are the first child of the Yang Family I saw after my awakening… I watched you grow up step by step, and I also watched you bring the Yang Family back on track from the brink of extinction. I understand your will, but I just want to say… everything is for the family, Hu Yue’s talent is rarely seen in the world, and if you could have a child with her, the Yang Family would benefit immensely. It all depends on you.”
That was all he could say, and it was up to Yang Shi to choose.
For Yang Genshuo, he only desired Hu Yue’s talent “Nine Lives.”
Yang Shi took a deep breath and bowed towards the incense burner.
“Yang Shi understands.”
Time continued to accelerate.
[Under Yang Shi’s leadership, Bright City became increasingly prosperous, becoming the first city for cultivators in the Danai Dynasty. The high-quality Spirit Fields around it were also being continuously developed, adding 200 mu to the Yang Family’s holdings.]
[Yang Family assets prospered, incense +100]
[Yang Fushuo refined 2 new elixirs, increasing his proficiency in Alchemy Technique. The Yang Family’s Cultivation Hundred Skills deepened further, incense +100.]
[Yang Fushuo’s wife, Tian Mumu, gave birth to a daughter, ensuring the prosperity of the Yang Family lineage, +200 incense points!]
[Your descendant, Yang Fushuo, requests your help in naming the child.]
A new addition to the Yang Family!
Yang Genshuo slowed down the game speed and examined the child’s talents.
[Identity: Daughter of Yang Fushuo and Tian Mumu.]
[Spirit Root: Triple Spirit Root (Wood: 30, Fire: 55, Earth: 30)]
[Qi Fortune: 30] Official source is novèlfire.net
[Talent: Burning Flame Body (Heavenly Level)]
[Burning Flame Body (Heavenly Level): Fire Spirit Root talent +15, Fire Element Cultivation speed and power +30%, Life Span -20.]
“She inherited her parents’ Fire Spirit Root talent…”
After reading this, Yang Genshuo knew that marrying Tian Mumu was the right decision.
The child, possessing Triple Spirit Roots and especially proficient in Fire Element, resembled her mother, Tian Mumu, closely. Yang Fushuo’s talents were also partially inherited; although not inheriting the Alchemy talent, she did inherit the enhancement of the Fire Spirit Root talent, and quite substantially!
“A Fire Spirit Root reaching 55 is nearly comparable to an average Dual Spirit Root cultivator! The talent is modest and unpretentious but incredibly useful, with cultivation speed increased by 30% and magic power increased by 30%. This means faster progression and more formidable combat.”
“In the future, this girl might become the mainstay of the family’s combat power.”
“As for the reduction of 20 years in life span… there’s no helping it, it’s the price of good talent. But is there only this single talent?”
Yang Genshuo fell into deep thought.
However, he wasn’t regretting it; rather, he was contemplating a possibility.
“This might be an opportunity to test the limits of the ‘Mingxin Technique’…”
The Yang Family had already proven that the ‘Mingxin Technique’ could enhance one’s innate talent, elevating those of Earth Level to Heavenly Level; hence, Yang Family children are trained in both cultivation and martial arts from a young age, so that upon achieving master status, their talent could be elevated by a significant level.
“While Yang Qiang and Yang Qiangyou both possess Heavenly Level talents, both individuals also have other talents, so ‘Mingxin Technique’ might not necessarily apply to them. However, this child of Yang Fushuo has only one Heavenly Level talent, so it will definitely apply to this.”
“If it could reach another level… wouldn’t that be Immortal Level talent?”
Yang Genshuo, having seen so many character cards, knew how rare Immortal Level talent was!
So far, only Murong Ziyuan and Hu Yue have such esteemed talent, and many Golden Core cultivators from Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect don’t possess such noble talent.
Immortal Level talent represents a qualitative transformation.
It is much stronger than having the combined talents of Heavenly Level + Earth Level + Mortal Level.
Yang Genshuo thought this girl might just be worth a try…
At that moment, Yang Genshuo’s heart swelled with joy, and then he bestowed a name upon the girl.
“You are a girl, harboring the future potential for Immortal Level talent, so I shall call you… Yang Qidai!”
“Never mind, let the AI do it.”
Yang Genshuo was enthusiastic about selecting the earlier names; now, leaving it to the AI seemed more reasonable—just prepare about a dozen names, and he would pick one from them.
After some selection.
Yang Genshuo saw a name that caught his eye.
