Chapter 48 - Immortal Fate Of Longevity: Starting From Taking Care of Fellow Daoist Wife
Chapter 48: Concerns about Bloodline, Xiao Xuan's Request The Xia family was lively today. But it was only the Xia family members who were lively. Xia Changge did not invite outsiders, they were just gathering as a family. On one hand, Xia Changge had returned after half a month apart, and as the head of the family, it was only natural to have a good meal together. On the other hand, his precious daughter had unexpectedly reached the second level of Qi refinement, and it had been a week since she reached that level! With Xia Yijiao's maturing thoughts and deepening understanding of cultivation techniques, From the age of fourteen to twenty, it was the peak period of her explosive cultivation speed. This cultivation speed truly made Xia Changge envious. Tan Qier was also more certain that Xia Yijiao possessed an extraordinary spiritual root. This also made her envy Zhang Miaoyi in her heart. She wondered why a mortal like Xia Yijiao was so fortunate. But it was precisely because of this reason that the relationship between Tan Qier and Zhang Miaoyi had improved a lot. At least, they were loving and affectionate on ordinary days. When Xia Changge was present at night, the two of them didn't need to sleep in separate rooms. All these efforts were to enhance the bond between the sisters. After all, they shared in the resistance against the enemy and shared in joy and hardship. How could their feelings not be genuine? Xia Yijiao's outstanding performance made Xia Changge seriously consider other matters. Xia Changge didn't want to send Xia Yijiao to a sect. Before, he was worried that his daughter was too young. If she went, she might become closer to the sect after a few years of cultivation. After all, when children are young, it is a truly important time for them to establish a bond. Xia Yijiao had already been raised by Xia Changge for a few years, almost forming a true father-daughter relationship. But now... Xia Changge was considering which sect to go to and who to apprentice under. He couldn't just choose anyone to be his master, right? Shouldn't he find out about the background of those people first? Of course, Xia Changge was also thinking that if his family could develop in the next two years, it might not be impossible for them to stay in the family. But if he stayed in the family, he had to consider one important issue, which was bloodline. Xia Changge's idea was similar to finding a son-in-law for the Xiao family. With his daughter's exceptional spiritual root, any child she gave birth to would most likely have a dual spiritual root or even have the possibility of a heavenly spiritual root. However, when he thought of this, Xia Changge's brows furrowed. Because his own spiritual root was a quadruple spiritual root, it was difficult for his descendants to have the innate advantage of a triple spiritual root. Unless the woman he combined with had a very good spiritual root. But Xia Changge had no hope for such conditions. With his current family background, what right did he have to attract female cultivators with triple spiritual roots or above? Unless Xia Changge could pick up the leftovers! Xia Yijiao had a good spiritual root, but her bloodline was not his own. Even if her children were exceptional and joined his family, they would have no connection to him! By the time he was gone, his descendants would be mediocre while Xia Yijiao's descendants were exceptional. At that time, people without his bloodline would control the family power. Let Li Daoyou become the source of the Xia family's bloodline, and the Xia family would become the Li family. Wouldn't he become a tragedy? He thought he had stolen Li Daoyou's accomplishments, but in fact, his own accomplishments were stolen by Li Daoyou after a hundred years? Xia Changge was in a dilemma. He didn't mind that Xia Yijiao was not his own biological daughter, but if he were to establish a family, that would be another matter. It would have a deep impact. Could it be... he needed to send Xia Yijiao away for a marriage alliance? But if that were the case, Xia Changge would feel very uncomfortable. Fortunately, Xia Yijiao was still young, and he had plenty of time to prepare. However, he had to prepare the things needed to reach the ninth level of Qi refinement and breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment stage in advance. And it wasn't just one set, it was a minimum of three sets! Himself, his dear sister Qier, and his daughter. Breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage was dangerous, so it would be best to have Foundation Establishment Pills as support. But the price of Foundation Establishment Pills... There was pressure, but Xia Changge didn't show it, so as not to ruin the good atmosphere at home. They had been joyous at home for half a month, but Xia Changge still returned to his spiritual field to remain on duty and earn more spiritual stones. During this period of time, Xiao Xuan still came to Xia Changge's suburban house every day for treatment. However, if Xia Changge wasn't there, Xiao Xuan wouldn't be very happy and would leave after completing the task of applying medicine. Seeing Xia Changge's figure, Xiao Xuan was secretly delighted. She coldly spoke to her maidservant, "You can go back first and come back tonight." "Yes." The maidservant pushed Xiao Xuan in front of Xia Changge and tactfully left. After following her Second Miss here for such a long time, she knew some things to a certain extent. When the maidservant left, there were only Xiao Xuan, Xia Changge, and An Ruoshui left. "Miss An, we won't apply the medicine today. I have something to discuss with Teacher Xia. Could you please leave first?" Because of Xia Changge's skill in pill refining, Xiao Xuan addressed him as 'Teacher Xia'. An Ruoshui naturally didn't dare to defy Xiao Xuan's words and put down the prepared ointment before leaving. Once it was certain that only the two of them were left, Xiao Xuan placed both hands on the armrests of the wheelchair and exerted force to stand up. Then, unsteadily, she walked towards Xia Changge. Xiao Xuan's attempt to stand surprised Xia Changge. However, it might be because Xia Changge did not use much force, so Xiao Xuan was still not completely healed. After taking a few steps, Xiao Xuan leaned forward and fell directly into Xia Changge's embrace. "Teacher Xia... Thank... thank you. If it weren't for you, I... I might have to sit in a wheelchair for the rest of my life." As someone who had been married for over ten years and was a wife, Xiao Xuan was more shy at this moment than the older maidservant An Ruoshui. Xia Changge nodded and smiled earnestly, "Not at all, Second... Xuan'er, you are being too kind. Even without me, once Senior reaches the Golden Core stage, you would be able to recover easily." After speaking, Xia Changge elegantly and steadily put Xiao Xuan back into the wheelchair, preparing to help her sit back down. In his eyes, Xiao Xuan was just a little sister who was ten years younger than him. Xiao Xuan refused, stubbornly saying, "I don't want to sit anymore. I want to walk around here. Teacher Xia, can you help me?" Xia Changge was in a difficult situation and also puzzled, "This... Xuan'er, have you not told Senior, Miss, Third Miss, or even... Li Daoyou about this matter?" He was speechless. With so many people in the Xiao family, why did she choose him in particular? Didn't he have a lot of things to take care of?! Xiao Xuan shook her head, "I haven't told anyone. Teacher Xia, you're the first one." These words made Xia Changge understand what was going on. No way? I really didn't have that meaning. Have I become... the towering savior in Xiao Xuan's heart? "Alright!" Actually, Xia Changge was also struggling with whether or not to compromise with life. After all, if he reached the Foundation Establishment stage and his daughter reached the Foundation Establishment stage, they would form a dual Foundation Establishment couple. The Xia family was really not worth worrying about. He could endure hardships for several years! Seeing the hopeful look in Xiao Xuan's eyes and combining it with Chen Lu's request more than half a month ago, Xia Changge agreed. Xiao Xuan was overjoyed and reached out her hand to Xia Changge. Xia Changge was considerate and displayed the manner of a benevolent physician, patiently taking care of Xiao Xuan. During this process, Xia Changge remembered the scene of him teaching his son Xia Moxing how to walk at the age of two. At the same time, in the Xiao family. Hearing what the maidservant who Xiao Xuan had approached, who was also Xiao Xuan's personal maidservant Xiao Taohong, said to him, Chen Lu happily exclaimed, "Great! This is great!" This surprised Xiao Taohong. Her wife was having an affair with another man, and he said it was great? Today is the third update. I ask fellow daoists to support me on my ascension journey and help me pass the heavenly tribulation safely. Thank you to fellow daoist Chestforthe100spiritstones and fellow daoist ImmortalinRed for the 100 spirit stones. Thank you to many other seniors for supporting me with monthly votes and recommendations. (End of this chapter)
