Zhang Ran naturally wouldn't go to the Seventh Prince's house and say, "I want to beat up your wife." He would naturally have to find another opportunity.

Moreover, the grand competition of the academy is about to begin. Last time, Zhang Yin participated but was delayed and couldn't go. This time, he definitely wants to go and see his girl.

At the same time, after a round of lovemaking with Yu Yan, Zhang Ran noticed that her aura fluctuations were becoming stronger.

"Are you about to break through?"

"Mm, I estimate that I can attempt Nascent Soul cultivation in about five years." Yu Yan hugged Zhang Ran, her face flushed.

Zhang Ran directly took out six pills with astonishing aura. Two of them even emitted some electric currents, clearly not ordinary products.

As soon as these five pills were taken out, a strange phenomenon occurred in the entire room. There were flashes of lightning and swirling smoke, but they were all illusory, without sound or fluctuations.

Zhang Ran suppressed the power of the pills. Otherwise, if so many fifth-grade pills were taken out, the power would instantly spread to the outer city.

"Among these, there are three Soul Refining Pills in total. This pill becomes useless after the fourth one is taken. Now, take the time to refine them. With your cultivation of the Divine Manifestation Technique, your spiritual power will definitely reach the level of the early Nascent Soul stage."

"These three are Tribulation Refining Pills. Cultivators at the Soul Formation stage will experience a thunder tribulation from the early stage to the middle stage, and from the middle stage to the late stage. These Tribulation Refining Pills are even more precious than the Soul Refining Pills. Even I have only refined ten of them, and the materials for pill refinement are very difficult to find."

Yu Yan looked at the pills Zhang Ran took out, stunned. This was probably the most luxurious Transcending Tribulation she had ever seen.

Of course, she knew about the Tribulation Refining Pills. After taking one, it could neutralize most of the thunder tribulation's power.

Then she said, "But I have only formed two colors of Nascent Soul, at most two thunder tribulations. It seems a bit wasteful for you to have so many."

Zhang Ran smiled mysteriously, "Don't worry, I have a way to make the heavens strike you three times."

"Ah," Yu Yan felt even more surprised. "Husband, is that possible?"

"Haha, of course. I have many abilities." Zhang Ran pressed down on Yu Yan again.

The method Zhang Ran used to attract thunder was a Thunder-Attracting Formation he obtained. It was a fifth-grade formation he saw three years ago at a Myriad Treasures Chamber of Commerce. The other party required a trade of a fifth-grade pill and a five-transformation Gold Core, so the trade was successful on the spot.

This was a purely offensive formation that bombarded the person inside with heavenly thunder, with power comparable to a heavenly tribulation. The main advantage was its speed and lack of warning.

Once inside the formation, as long as the main formation operator activated it, the thunder would immediately strike down. If a Soul Formation cultivator encountered it unprepared, they would be seriously injured or even perish.

It could be said to be a very practical trap.

Zhang Ran definitely wouldn't set up this formation as a complete fifth-grade formation. He would weaken a part of it and control it within the range Yu Yan could bear.

When Zhang Ran refined the Soul Refining Pills back then, it took him more than a month.

Yu Yan would need even more time.

During this period, he didn't disturb her.

Arriving at the Spirit Field, Zhang Ran looked to see if there was time to cultivate spirit beasts or spirit insects.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for giving birth to an eighth-grade offspring. Reward: a five-star Spirit Beast Courtyard.]

[Rewarding the host with eighty years of cultivation experience.]

[Rewarding the host with eighty years of lifespan.]

[Rewarding the host with eighty years of alchemy experience.]

After all, it has skipped a generation, so the rewards are halved. If it were two generations, it would be halved again, and so on.

"Oh, it's like what I was thinking."

Upon seeing it, Zhang Ran was surprised to find that this eighth-grade spiritual root successor was not his own child, but his grandson. This was already the highest talent among his grandchildren.

With a divine scan, it turned out to be Zhang Fei's child. Zhang Ran smiled with satisfaction. Zhang Fei was the one among his descendants who paid the most attention to righteousness. He treated having children as a profession and was deeply influenced by his true teachings. It was unknown whether it was due to atavism, but he had miraculously given birth to a genius with an eighth-grade spiritual root, born to a Qi Refining female cultivator.

Zhang Fei's mansion was located in the inner city, in an ordinary area. As a first-grade spiritual root cultivator, he had accumulated a large amount of elixirs and had become a Foundation Building cultivator.

In addition, Yang Huanyu also loved him and gave him many privileges. After taking longevity pills, he was still young. Fortunately, he was very capable and had married nearly a hundred wives.

Although they were all Qi Refining cultivators, and even mortals, Zhang Ran saw it with his own eyes and was delighted. He decided to encourage the younger generation of the family to learn from Zhang Fei.

Zhang Ran appeared in Zhang Fei's home in a flash.

As soon as Zhang Fei saw Zhang Ran coming, he immediately smiled with joy. "Father," Zhang Ran personally came to explain that this child was definitely extraordinary.

"Well, Zhang Fei, you did well. This time, you have given birth to a child with an eighth-grade spiritual root talent. I will reward you handsomely," Zhang Ran said with a smile. At this moment, a young woman came out of the room, holding a child. She was Zhang Lingfei's wife.

"Father!" The young woman also slightly bent her legs and saluted. After all, she was a Qi Refining cultivator and could walk immediately after giving birth, without needing to observe the month-long confinement.

"Well done. Well done," Zhang Ran looked at the chubby baby who had just been born and felt very happy. An eighth-grade spiritual root was truly different. As soon as the baby was born, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth automatically converged towards the child.

"Father, you can give this child a name," Zhang Fei said.

Zhang Ran's idea was simple. The name should be common. "This child is the first eighth-grade spiritual root among the grandchildren, so let's call him Zhang Di Ba."

The Di generation also had a future prodigy. Zhang Ran continued, "Zhang Fei, tell me what you want, and I can give you anything."

Zhang Ran still liked to call him Zhang Fei. He always felt it was more intimate.

Zhang Fei hesitated for a long time and didn't know what he wanted. With his poor talent, reaching Foundation Building was already the limit. In about three hundred years, he would probably be gone.

Thinking about his large family and so many descendants, the stability and development of his lineage mainly relied on everyone's respect for his mother and the fact that he was Zhang Ran's first spiritual root child. But if one day Yang Huanyu passed away...

His lineage would definitely be suppressed by other clan members. Therefore, he had to consider the future. This child was the hope of his lineage, and Zhang Fei had to place all his hopes on him.

Zhang Fei's thoughts were normal. Although the Zhang family was generally thriving, competition existed where there were people. Resources had always been limited, while human desires were limitless. Zhang Ran could control his own backyard, but he didn't want to manage these descendants.

After all, if he worried about everything, the family wouldn't last long. Only through competition and natural selection could they gradually become stronger. Zhang Ran tacitly agreed to this. As long as it didn't go too far or involve betrayal or harming fellow clan members, he wouldn't personally intervene.

After thinking for a long time, Zhang Fei said, "Father, I have thought it over. Can you treat Zhang Di Ba as a direct disciple?"

"This can certainly be done. In addition, I will also give you a fourth-rank puppet and a thousand high-grade spirit stones," Zhang Ran said with a smile.

"Father, thank you very much," Zhang Fei repeatedly expressed his gratitude after hearing this, and his heart was filled with joy. The young woman beside him was also pleasantly surprised.
