Chapter 15: Xu Mingshu and Xu Mingxian (Please keep reading on Tuesday!)
Time flew by.
In a flash, it was the annual sacrifice.
Xu Chuan had also reached the age of thirty.
The next day, at a quarter past Sishi (9:15 AM).
Bai Jing's stomach inexplicably ached, and she went into labor again.
"Zhao Dalong, Sun Fugui, go invite the midwife."
Xu Chuan had already arranged for the midwife, asking her to keep these few days free.
The two of them, finding the midwife too slow, directly carried her, rushing her quickly to the Xu Family, startling her and making her face turn pale.
Then—
Effort, struggle, shouts.
Two or three hours later, she gave birth successfully.
This time, she bore a pair of Dragon and Phoenix twins.
The girl came out first, named Xu Mingshu, and Xu Chuan gave her the nickname Xue Ji.
The boy was named Xu Mingxian, with the nickname Yun Nu.
Time flew by like an arrow.
In a blink of an eye, it was the two children's full moon banquet.
Bai Family relatives, Chen Bo, and others all came to celebrate.
They left only after having eaten and drunk their fill.
Xu Chuan walked into the main hall and took a drop of blood from each child's fingertip to enter into the Family registry.
Xu Mingshu: Xu Family Second Generation
Spiritual Root: Incomplete
Talent: None
Bloodline: None
Note: Soul Power is twice that of a normal person, with naturally keen spiritual perception.
"Her Soul Power is twice that of a normal person, and she has naturally keen spiritual perception. It seems that little Xue Ji is exceptionally gifted."
"Perhaps she is suitable for 【Whispers of All Spirits】, and in the future, she might be able to tame ferocious beasts."
Next, Xu Chuan looked at Xu Mingxian's information.
Xu Mingxian: Xu Family Second Generation
Spiritual Root: Complete Five Elements, suitable for Cultivation, Mixed Spiritual Root Aptitude
Talent: Devouring Mountains and Rivers
Bloodline: None
Note: All Cultivators possess complete Five Elements. Aptitude is divided into Pseudo Spiritual Root, Mixed Spiritual Root, True Spiritual Root, Earthly Spiritual Root, and Heavenly Spiritual Root, primarily based on the purity of the Spiritual Root.
Devouring Mountains and Rivers: When Qi enters the body, the speed of restoring magical power will be several tenths that of others, reaching several times at its peak, truly possessing the momentum of Devouring Mountains and Rivers.
"Cultivation Talent!"
Xu Chuan's face revealed a look of wild joy.
The Xu Family finally had someone with Cultivation Talent.
This meant that starting from the second generation, there was hope of entering the world of Cultivators.
At the same time, a large amount of content suddenly surged into Xu Chuan's mind, compiling into a classic text that allowed one to go from mortal to immortal.
It was named "Xiantian Five Elements Creation Skill."
This was the Cultivation Technique bestowed by the Family registry upon the birth of the Xu Family's first descendant with Cultivation Talent.
It could only be Cultivated by Martial Artists in the Innate Realm.
It could repair Five Elements' deficiencies, purify Spiritual Roots, and ultimately reach the True Spiritual Root level.
"From mortal to immortal, what a wonderful Cultivation Technique from mortal to immortal!"
Xu Chuan had an urge to laugh out loud.
With this Cultivation Technique, it meant that future generations of the Xu Family would all have Cultivation Talent.
"No!"
Xu Chuan suppressed the excitement in his heart, his chest heaving violently a few times.
Then he raised his head and took a deep breath, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down, slowly exhaling, his tensed shoulders slumping down with it.
"It can't be too conspicuous. Only when someone in the second generation achieves Innate can it be bestowed. Starting from the third generation, the number of Family members will surge, so selections must be made based on merit to bestow fate talents and Cultivation Techniques."
In an instant, Xu Chuan had already made a rough arrangement for the future of the Xu Family.
Although they were all his descendants, as generations passed, there would be too many members, and it would be impossible to treat everyone equally.
It was necessary to distinguish between the main branch and minor branches, and between the direct lineage and collateral branches.
"Mingxian, the name was indeed not chosen wrongly!"
"And the fate talent, Devouring Mountains and Rivers!"
"A born Cultivation seed!"
Xu Chuan held him high with both hands, his eyes shining, grinning.
The next moment—
Xu Mingxian cried out, and a warm, clear stream shot out in a parabolic arc from between his legs, hitting precisely.
"Puff, puff, puff~"
"This brat!"
"He's the first among my five siblings to pee on me!"
"Truly commendable courage!"
Xu Chuan smiled bitterly, sending his pair of children to Bai Jing's side, while he himself went to change his clothes.
With the "Xiantian Five Elements Creation Skill," the previous arrangements for his second son, Xu Mingyuan, also had to change. Even if it meant using resources, he had to push him to the Innate Realm.
Everyone has selfish motives.
He didn't care about his great-grandchildren or great-great-grandchildren in the future.
But for his own children, whom he had watched grow up since childhood, he always hoped they could live longer.
To accompany him longer.
The next day.
After Xu Chuan and Xu Mingwei finished their morning exercises, Xu Chuan suddenly said, "Shitou, starting today, you set aside time to teach A Yuan martial arts."
"A Yuan?" Xu Mingwei was suddenly stunned, "Didn't you want him to do business?"
"Just say it's my command."
"Now we don't lack Inner Strength Manuals. He can choose any one from "Small Dragon Elephant Skill," "Jiaolong Fist," "Savage Bear Strength," and the Secret Manuals that Zhao Dalong and the others have transcribed."
"You also hurry up and Cultivate, reach Innate as soon as possible."
"At that time, Father will give you a great Opportunity."
"Yes, Father." Xu Mingwei would not defy Xu Chuan's wishes, but after a moment of hesitation, he still said, "What if... A Yuan doesn't want to?"
"Then don't blame me for sending him to a martial arts academy."
"If he's serious at home, he can still have some freedom. If he goes to a martial arts academy, he won't have a choice."
Xu Mingwei sighed softly in his heart: A Yuan, don't blame your big brother for not helping you. It's truly Father's command that's hard to disobey.
He could already imagine Xu Mingyuan's wailing when he found out.
After breakfast, Xu Chuan went out to inspect the farmland and forest.
Checking the growth of fruits, vegetables, and fruit trees.
If there were any problems, he would guide the old farmers on what to do.
By now, he rarely had to do things himself.
In his free time, he would find an open space to Cultivate the "Small Dragon Elephant Skill."
He had already opened thirty-two acupoints, only four more to become a third-rate Martial Artist.
With the addition of medicinal meals in the future, the speed would definitely be faster.
Xu Family courtyard.
"No, Big Brother, you want me to practice martial arts? Is that Father's intention?"
After hearing Xu Mingwei's words, he was completely bewildered, standing there like a stone statue, motionless.
"Didn't he want me to do business?"
"Father didn't tell you to stop doing business; he probably wants you to balance it with martial arts training."
Upon hearing this, Xu Mingyuan's face immediately turned Li Er-colored, as ugly as could be.
"I also have to balance reading and calligraphy. This is too hard for me."
Xu Mingxuan walked over and, seeing Xu Mingyuan's face, pointed at him and cackled, "Second Brother, did you eat something bad? Your face looks really awful!"
"Go, go, go, little Tantou, go play with your Li Zhi."
"Hmph, I was going to anyway. Now I don't need you to play with me anymore." Xu Mingxuan pouted and then walked towards the main gate.
"This kid, he still doesn't know how miserable his future days will be."
Xu Mingyuan sighed and looked at Xu Mingwei, "Big Brother, my dear brother, can't you plead with Father for me?"
"I did, it was useless." Xu Mingwei calmly patted Xu Mingyuan's shoulder. "From Father's tone, I estimate that all future Xu Family descendants will have to practice martial arts."
"Sigh, I'm even a little envious of Da Niu and Fangfang. At least Second Gou Uncle won't be so strict with them." Xu Mingyuan wailed and grumbled.
"Father is doing this for our own good." Xu Mingwei said with a serious expression.
"I know, I'm just grumbling. If you really asked me to switch Fathers, I wouldn't bear to."
Xu Mingyuan took a deep breath, his eyes seemingly having made some kind of decision, "Practice, I must practice seriously!"
"Even if it's just for the sake of a tiger Father not having a dog son!"
Looking at Xu Mingyuan, Xu Mingwei couldn't help but smile and shake his head.
"It's just practicing martial arts, not going to war. Why are you acting like you're going to your death!"
"Then choose one?"
Xu Mingwei held several Inner Strength Manuals in his hand, fanned out in a semicircle.
"Do you have any recommendations?"
"Father said that "Small Dragon Elephant Skill" has higher Aptitude requirements. How about practicing "Jiaolong Fist"? Li Er Uncle practiced it, and although it wasn't great, he can at least teach you the basics hand-in-hand."
"Alright, then "Jiaolong Fist" it is."
"Mm." Xu Mingwei smiled and responded, finally completing Father's instructions.
"Let's go, we'll go find Li Er Uncle."
— — — — — — — —
Ever since Xu Mingyuan also started practicing martial arts.
Every morning during practice, there was an extra figure in the Xu Family compound.
Gradually.
Zhao Dalong, Sun Fugui, and Qian Youcai also joined in.
If the master of the house was so diligent, how could they not try their best to keep up?
Currently, the scale of the Xu Family's industries was not very large.
Therefore, they often had a lot of free time.
Including Zhou Ming.
He only occasionally ran errands for Xu Chuan and Bai Jing, contacting others, or doing accounts and offering advice.
He could see that the Xu Family had great potential for development.
Good days were still ahead.
