Longevity: Starting From Getting Down The Mountain And Marrying A Wife

Four people gathered together.

Yan Sandao took the water bottle from Zhong Yan's hand and took a few sips. Then he took a piece of dried meat and sat down on a small slope five zhang away, eating while remaining vigilant of the surroundings.

Yu Qingyao glanced over and already held a higher opinion of Yan Sandao, who was only in the Post Natal Realm.

Zhong Yan took out various items from his storage bag, sorted them out, and handed them to Zhou Yunning one by one, introducing each one.

"This is the Fasting Pill. Eating one when hungry can sustain you for seven days."

"This is the Nourishing Essence Pill, and this is the Blood Condensing Pill. They are all used for healing, able to quickly stop bleeding and accelerate wound healing..."

"This is the Burrowing Talisman. The incantation is..."

"Have you all remembered?"

Zhou Yunning nodded repeatedly, "Thank you, Uncle. Yunning has remembered!"

Zhong Yan looked at the crossbow placed aside and asked, "Can you use it?"

Zhou Yunning felt a bit embarrassed and said, "I have never used it before. This crossbow looks different from the ones used by soldiers. Please teach me, Uncle."

Zhong Yan demonstrated the operation to her. After modification, compared to a regular military crossbow, it had two additional steps and areas to pay attention to, making it more powerful and accurate.

But it wasn't difficult either.

Zhou Yunning stared at it intently, her eyes shining. "Let me try!"

Setting down the items in her hand, she took the crossbow and fiddled with it, then stood up and aimed at a large tree not far away.

Zhong Yan walked over and stood behind her, guiding her in adjusting her posture. "Keep your waist steady, lower your shoulder..."

Feeling the big hands manipulating her body, a pleasant masculine scent wafting around her nose, Zhou Yunning's body stiffened, her heart pounding. Her pretty face blushed, and she took a deep breath to adjust her stance.

Swoosh~ Bang!

The arrow penetrated the tree trunk at least two inches, causing the feathers to tremble.

"This crossbow is so powerful!"

Zhou Yunning's eyes sparkled. "But it's a bit off."

Zhong Yan walked back and sat down, saying, "You don't necessarily have to shoot accurately. Many times, as long as it can cause disturbance and divert the opponent's attention, it's enough. You can practice slowly when you have time in the future."

"Yes, Uncle!"

Zhou Yunning secretly glanced at his cheek, seemingly unaffected by the previous intimate gesture. Her gaze was clear and bright, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief before running over to retrieve the arrow.

Chewing on the dried meat, Zhong Yan asked Yu Qingyao, "Are your talismans enough?"

This time, Yu Qingyao was quite assertive. "Not many. Give me some."

Zhong Yan took out a stack of offensive talismans and handed them to her. They were all second-tier talismans, and there were not many left in his storage bag. He secretly thought that he should find time to go to the market.

Looking at the talismans one by one, a smile unconsciously appeared on Yu Qingyao's lips.

This caused Zhong Yan to roll his eyes. She loved money but was also stingy. What kind of future could she have?

Fifteen minutes later.

The four of them continued on their journey.

They didn't arrive at their destination until the night's xu hour.

Flowing Cloud Valley.

Under the dim moonlight, two mountain peaks formed a large valley that seemed endless.

Occasionally, bird calls and animal roars could be heard from the distance.

Zhong Yan surveyed the surroundings and quickly arranged, "Qingyao, you guard the entrance of the valley and pay attention to any movement!"

Qingyao, it rolled off the tongue... Yu Qingyao glanced at him and nodded before running off.

Zhong Yan pointed to a high pile of rocks, "Sandao, you ambush in that position!"

"Yes, husband!"

"Yunning, you go over there. Use the Burrowing Talisman to dig underground. When you hear my signal, come out and then listen to my command to shoot the enemy onto this flat ground!"

"Yes, Uncle!"

Zhong Yan took out the materials for the formation from his storage bag and quickly constructed the "Little Illusion Formation."

Time flew by.

Two hours later.

Yu Qingyao returned stealthily and looked at Zhong Yan, who was setting up the formation, with a shocked heart. She suppressed her voice and asked, "Fellow Daoist Zhong, how much longer? Do you really not know how many people there are?"

"Patience is key."

Zhong Yan couldn't be certain as he had never worked with Yu Qingyao before, so he couldn't accurately define her true response capabilities.

Mistakes or omissions in information could lead to significant errors in action and unnecessary accidents. It is best to be prepared and approach with the utmost caution.

Seeing no response from the other party.

Zhong Yan looked up and said, "'Yanling Mountain Range, northwest of Yun Valley, fast.' This is the original message."

"..." Yu Qingyao widened her beautiful eyes. What kind of message was this? Based on this, they dared to recklessly come and ambush? Are they seeking death?

Zhong Yan thought for a moment and looked at her as he made a conjecture. "It's probably around the second quarter of the Zi hour. We should wait for two days. The number of people won't exceed three, and they will be in the mid-stage of Qi Refining. If they come early, there won't be anyone in the late stage of Qi Refining, but there might be one or two more people. So, you keep a close watch. If there are any abnormalities, send a signal. When it's time to fight, force the one with the highest cultivation level into the formation!"

Looking at his calm and composed face, Yu Qingyao's mood became complicated. She nodded lightly, slinked away, and muttered to herself, "He can make talismans and knows formations. He's so calm in the face of the unknown... He's amazing..."

Sunrise and sunset.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

The sky turned a pale white.

Zhong Yan looked at the formation beneath his feet, let out a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his face.

It's done.

After using it this time, these materials would probably be scrapped, resulting in the loss of hundreds of spiritual stones.

Zhong Yan was about to inspect it when suddenly a sound of 'ding' rang in his mind.

[Ding~ Birth of a Four Spiritual Roots Heir. Increased Spiritual Sense +50, Spell Enhancement +100, Cultivation Experience +200]

Zhong Yan was stunned, he glanced at the panel, a look of ecstatic joy appeared on his face, and he couldn't help but bend over, raise his arm, clench his fist, and shout in excitement, "Yeah! Yeah yeah yeah yeah!"

Xia He gave birth! She actually gave birth to a spiritual roots heir!

And there was an additional 'Spiritual Sense' experience enhancement that hadn't appeared before. It felt great!

"What's wrong, husband?" Yan Sandao, who was hiding behind a pile of rocks, looked up.

"Nothing, stay hidden!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhong Yan heard another electronic sound in his mind.

[Ding~ Birth of an Heir. Spell Enhancement +5, Martial Arts Comprehension +5, Talisman Path Experience +10, Cultivation Experience +50]

Twins?

Zhong Yan was dumbfounded again, then burst into silent laughter.

"Xia He, well done! I love you!"

Unbelievable, he was truly lucky!

The combination of inferior Four Spiritual Roots and an ordinary mortal woman actually gave birth to a spiritual roots heir.

Zhong Yan tried to calm his emotions and looked at the panel.

There was an additional column.

[Spiritual Sense: 68 (169/1000)]

Obviously, 68 represented the intensity of his spiritual sense.

His current perception range was exactly 68 meters, slightly higher than that of an ordinary Qi Refining fifth stage cultivator, because he was a talisman master and repeatedly made talismans, which helped his spiritual sense.

As for the values in parentheses, it was uncertain how much they would increase once they were full.

In addition, the [Available Enhancement Points] at the end of the spell column increased by '105'.

Without hesitation, Zhong Yan directly clicked on 'Great Void Art'.

"As expected, the panel changes when an heir with spiritual roots is born, and the benefits are so huge!"

Spiritual sense, it was even more practical than improving one's aptitude.

With a stronger spiritual sense, he could to some extent compensate for the shortcomings of his aptitude. In the future, he would be eligible to refine pills, learn formations, earn a large number of spiritual stones, and improve his overall strength.

"I should marry more and have more children!"

Zhong Yan was filled with excitement, chanting in his mind, his eyes burning as he looked at a certain position at the mouth of the valley, where Yu Qingyao seemed to have turned into a delicious dish in his eyes.

Devour her!

Suddenly, a crisp meow came from the valley.

Zhong Yan's gaze sharpened, he suppressed his smile, and quickly rushed towards a pile of grass on the side.
