Kapitel 7: Chapter 7: Pregnant Again_1
The next day, Qin Changqing got up early and went out.
As usual, today he was supposed to tally the accounts of Heiyu Town and send everything to Yinxu Prefecture.
"I have checked the accounts for this quarter. If you find them acceptable, Brother Qin, I will go to Yinxu Prefecture." Jin Hong took out a stack of account books at the management office.
Heiyu Town was not large, but it was not small either. There were many cultivators coming and going, and the transactions generated were far more than those in an average town.
This was also due to its proximity to the Lingxiao Sect, just over a hundred li away. Many cultivators who wanted to go to the Lingxiao Sect would choose to stay here.
Over the past two years, Qin Changqing had become well-versed in these affairs.
He took a quick look.
"It's quite a lot less than the previous quarter."
Jin Hong said with a bitter smile: "There's no choice. The spiritual mine in Lingshui Valley was taken away by Yunqing Town. Although the mine is small, it has a significant impact on small places like ours."
"Did Sister Lian fail?"
Sister Lian, also known as Lian Caini, was the last person in charge of the Heiyu Town management office.
She was a cultivator at the sixth level of Qi cultivation.
"She did not win. The head of a cultivation family in Yunqing Town broke through to the seventh level of Qi cultivation and overpowered Sister Lian, so she gave up."
"I see."
Qin Changqing sighed for a moment.
Heiyu Town was only sixty li away from Yunqing Town, and the two sides often fought over resources.
Fighting was not really about physical combat; most of the time it was about commercial competition, and only when it involved things related to cultivators would there be disputes and fights.
Take the spiritual mine in Lingshui Valley for example; it was actually very small, and the quality of the mine was quite poor.
For such things, the Lingxiao Sect would not forcibly take them by force.
After all, they had to leave some livelihood for others. In the past, the spiritual mine had been managed by Heiyu Town and was mined by the Lian Family.
After mining, the Lian Family would then give a portion of it to the management office of the sect as "protection money".
But this time it was taken away by Yunqing Town.
The reason was simple: they lost the fight.
"Cultivators really compete for everything." Qin Changqing shook his head secretly. Even in the secular world, if their disciples could exceed their assessment targets, they would be rewarded by the sect.
Rewards, rankings, and naturally, competition.
Qin Changqing had no plans to intervene in these matters, as there was no end to helping out.
Besides, he had no suitable reason to intervene.
Moreover, for him, meeting his performance goals was enough. Rather than focusing on that, he should make haste to have children.
"Speaking of which, Sister Lian was injured this time. For the next few months, the two of us have to be more careful." Jin Hong added.
"Sister Lian was injured?"
"Yes, and the injury was serious." Jin Hong sighed lightly. "You know our situation. One step at a time, one mistake after another, we always have to fight for it, otherwise, if we lose the identity of a secular disciple, life will be even harder as a loose cultivator."
"That's true."
Qin Changqing took out an elixir and handed it to Jin Hong, asking him to give it to Lian Caini.
This elixir was given to him by Mo Jiuzhou. It might not be needed in ordinary days, but it could be helpful now.
After finishing his business, Qin Changqing returned to Qin Mansion. As soon as he entered the gate, he saw Xi'er whispering to Su Xiaoyue.
Seeing Qin Changqing's return, the two of them immediately straightened up. Xi'er's cheeks were a little flushed.
"Sister, what's wrong?"
"No, nothing." Xi'er got up and quickly went to her room.
Qin Changqing was a little puzzled.
He looked at Su Xiaoyue, whose cheeks were also flushed. She lowered her head and said nothing.
"Xiaoyue, what were you talking about?"
"It's just a girl's private matter." Su Xiaoyue was somewhat embarrassed. It all came down to blaming Qin Changqing.
Who made him so ruthless?
Xi'er stayed at Qin Mansion for a month before reluctantly returning to the Lingxiao Sect.Watching her leave, Qin Changqing felt reluctant, but there was no choice. It wasn't easy for Master to manage Xuanyi Peak; taking people from Master's area was somewhat improper.
Xi'er's spiritual root was Tier 9 mid-level, which was almost unseen in Heiyu Town. Qin Changqing had already looked around, and there were only a few people with spiritual roots in the entire town, but none of them were unmarried women.
The quality of the spiritual root determined the upper limit of one's cultivation achievement in the future. Sometimes, you wouldn't realize what despair meant until you put in the effort.
There were some rootless women with decent fortune, but considering the possibility of having children with spiritual roots, Qin Changqing didn't want to take concubines.
It was still the same principle; giving birth to excellent children!
"It's a pity that there are quite a few loose cultivators in Heiyu Town, but most of them are aiming to join the sect. Either that or they already have a Taoist couple."
Many loose cultivators would look for partners to form cultivation families, as the probability of having children with spiritual roots is greatly increased when cultivators are together.
Thus, some loose cultivators, who have lost hope in cultivating, put their hope in their children.
Even cultivation families emphasize giving birth to excellent children.
The principle is the same.
However, most loose cultivators have limited qualifications and resources, so their cultivation is generally low.
It's not easy to choose a suitable Taoist couple from those who have cultivated for several decades and are slightly higher in cultivation.
Qin Changqing didn't want to have a seventy or eighty-year-old woman as his Taoist couple.
For cultivators, their lifespan won't be too high unless they break through the Establishing Foundation Stage.
After breaking through the Establishing Foundation Stage, their lifespan will increase to 200 years.
Thus, the Establishing Foundation Stage is regarded as the threshold for entering the path of cultivation.
If Su Xiaoyue fails to establish a foundation, her body will weaken even if her appearance doesn't age.
This was also a concern Qin Changqing had been considering.
Now, his only hope was the motto: 'Many children, many blessings.'
"Husband, it seems like I'm pregnant again..."
Half a year after Xi'er's first time descending the mountain, Su Xiaoyue touched her gradually bulging belly and had a helpless look.
She had wanted to cultivate more during this period and had been very restrained with Qin Changqing.
But she got pregnant again.
The third one.
This was the third child already!
But she hadn't been married to Qin Changqing for even four years!
Calculating with the time this pregnancy would take, it wouldn't even be five years in total.
Having three kids in five years was indeed a bit outrageous.
When the news got out, the whole town of Heiyu was 'shocked.'
It wasn't that no one had achieved this speed before, but the key was Qin Changqing's identity; in their eyes, he was like an immortal.
So Su Xiaoyue, hadn't she given birth to an immortal's children?
Three of them!
No movement came from the Qin Mansion yet, but the Su family hung up red lanterns first and celebrated with fireworks and feasts.
"Pregnant again?" In the yard, Xi'er bit the fruit, marveling as she ate, "Xiaoyue, you're so fertile."
She had sneaked down the mountain.
This situation had occurred three times in this half-year already.
Qin Changqing laughed, "I like that she's fertile! I just love it!"
Su Xiaoyue rolled her eyes.
However, her heart was filled with sweetness.
As long as her husband liked it, she would have as many children as she could.
It's just a football team, isn't it? Counting this one, there were only eight more to go.
Eight... Su Xiaoyue thought about it and realized it was indeed troubling.
"Husband, during the time I'm nurturing the baby, you should spend more time with Sister Xi'er," Su Xiaoyue winked and said with a light laugh.
Xi'er choked on a mouthful and almost swallowed the fruit while sneaking glances at Qin Changqing.
