After the young man left, Liu Ruge quickly left the Cave Mansion as well.
Soon, Liu Ruge arrived outside the Cave Mansion of the sect master, Luo Changqi.
"Liu Shimei, why are you here?" Luo Changqi saw Liu Ruge and greeted her with a smile.
"Luo Shixiong, I have something I want to ask you," Liu Ruge said.
"What is it?"
"The child born to Yan Ruyu of the Yan family, is it a Yin Spirit Root?" Liu Ruge asked directly.
"This... you know?"
"It seems to be true," Liu Ruge nodded.
"Liu Shimei, how did you find out? Only a few people from the Yan family, the elder, and I know about this. Others are unaware," Luo Changqi asked with a serious expression.
"It was my disciple, He Qingqing, who told me..." Liu Ruge didn't hide anything and explained what she knew.
Upon hearing Liu Ruge's words, Luo Changqi nodded.
He was afraid that this matter would become known throughout the sect.
"Liu Shimei, it's not that we didn't tell you, but this matter is too significant. If other sects find out that our Jade Cloud Immortal Sect has a child with a Yin Spirit Root, we won't be able to protect ourselves!" Luo Changqi said to Liu Ruge.
Jade Cloud Immortal Sect is only a second-rate sect in the cultivation world.
There are more powerful first-rate sects and sacred grounds above Jade Cloud Immortal Sect.
If these sects were to find out that Jade Cloud Immortal Sect has a Yin Spirit Root, it's hard to say what Jade Cloud Immortal Sect would face.
"Liu Shimei, you just need to know about this matter yourself. Don't tell anyone else, and also, make sure your disciple doesn't tell anyone about this," Luo Changqi said to Liu Ruge.
"Luo Shixiong, I understand," Liu Ruge nodded.
As the third-ranked elder of Jade Cloud Immortal Sect, a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage who was several hundred years old, she wasn't foolish. She wouldn't make this matter known to everyone.
However, even if they kept it a secret, it probably wouldn't stay hidden for long.
Other families weren't fools. Given enough time, they would likely figure it out.
After confirming the truth from Luo Changqi, Liu Ruge left.
But after leaving, she couldn't stop thinking about this matter.
Clearly, other families weren't fools. Once they figured it out, they would likely arrange for their own family members with spiritual roots to give birth to children with Yin Spirit Roots.
Yin Spirit Roots, as long as they didn't die prematurely, would become future saints.
With such talent, if other families had it while the Liu family didn't, then in the future, the Liu family...
"Qingqing has a Superior Spirit Root..." Liu Ruge thought of her senior disciple, He Qingqing.
He Qingqing had a top-grade wood and water spiritual root, making her the most talented disciple under Liu Ruge, second only to her junior disciple, Li Yuqing.
...
"Master!"
One day, He Qingqing came to Liu Ruge's Cave Mansion and respectfully bowed to her.
"Qingqing, how old are you this year?" Liu Ruge smiled and asked her disciple.
"Master, I'm 64 this year!" He Qingqing respectfully replied.
"64 years old, not young anymore. Have you ever thought about finding a partner?" Liu Ruge asked again.
"Master, I'm still young, I haven't thought about it yet," He Qingqing quickly shook her head.
At 65 years old, compared to the lifespan of several hundred years in the early Gold Core stage, it was still considered youth.
Moreover, as an elder's direct disciple in a cultivation sect like her, she had basically never experienced any scheming or intrigue. Most of her time was spent on cultivation, so her mindset was similar to that of a young person.
"Qingqing, I called you here because I want to ask if you want a descendant with a Yin-Yang Spirit Root," Liu Ruge said directly to He Qingqing after thinking for a moment.
"This... Master..."
Upon hearing Liu Ruge's words, He Qingqing's face immediately turned red.
As someone who had always been responsible for that matter, how could she not understand the meaning behind it?
"Do you want a child with a Yin Spirit Root? That's a Yin Spirit Root!" Liu Ruge coaxed, "I have already confirmed with the sect's senior brother that Yan Ruyu from the Yan family has indeed given birth to a child with a Yin Spirit Root. A Yin Spirit Root! It will definitely become a Saint in the future, and with a Saint, the sect can become a holy land... Don't you want a child with a Yin Spirit Root?"
For Liu Ruge, it was disadvantageous for the future development of the Liu family if other families had descendants with Yin Spirit Roots while the Liu family did not.
Therefore, Liu Ruge decided to plan for the future development of the Liu family.
However, there were no women in the Liu family with the talent of a Superior Spirit Root, so she set her sights on her disciple, He Qingqing.
As her disciple was like a daughter to her, and if she raised the child as a member of the clan after giving birth, it would contribute to the long-term development of the family as long as there was a sense of belonging.
"Master, I..." He Qingqing hesitated.
To be honest, He Qingqing really wanted a child with a Yin Spirit Root.
But as Li Yuqing's senior sister, how could she bring herself to say such a thing?
"If you're worried about gossip, as cultivators, we don't need to be bound by trivial matters. If you're afraid of people talking, you can completely change your appearance so that no one knows about this," Liu Ruge persuaded.
"After you have the child, you can go into seclusion for a year and come out after the child is born. By then, no one will know that you have already given birth to a child..." Liu Ruge coaxed.
Upon hearing Liu Ruge's words, although He Qingqing's face turned red, her eyes showed some anticipation.
Yes! As long as this matter was done discreetly, besides her and her teacher, who would know?
Seeing that her disciple was somewhat tempted, Liu Ruge made a decision, "It's settled then. Qingqing, find a way to have a child next month."
"Master, it's the Luo family's turn next month..." He Qingqing reminded.
"It's fine. I'll talk to the sect leader and have the Luo family postponed for a month," Liu Ruge waved her hand.
As one of the three elders of the sect, she still had some authority.
"Alright!" He Qingqing nodded with a red face.
...
A month later, He Qingqing arrived at Jade Heaven Peak.
"Uncle, let's go!"
He Qingqing found Li Xiaojun.
"Okay."
Li Xiaojun nodded and stepped onto He Qingqing's flying boat.
"Qingqing, is there something on my face?"
On the flying boat, Li Xiaojun felt strange as He Qingqing kept glancing at him. She had never been like this before.
"No, there's nothing."
He Qingqing calmly shook her head, but her heart skipped a beat.
"Why do you keep looking at me? It feels a bit strange," Li Xiaojun said.
Today, he felt that He Qingqing was acting strangely!
"No, there's nothing strange. Uncle, you're overthinking," He Qingqing's face remained calm.
As a cultivator at the Gold Core stage, she could still control her subtle body movements.
However, after Li Xiaojun's reminder, He Qingqing finally stopped looking at him. But the two of them did not speak anymore.
Half an hour later, He Qingqing brought Li Xiaojun to a Cave Mansion.
"Uncle, please go in."
He Qingqing said to Li Xiaojun.
"Okay."
Li Xiaojun nodded.
Soon, Li Xiaojun entered the Cave Mansion.
However, what surprised Li Xiaojun was that there was no one inside the Cave Mansion.
Just as Li Xiaojun was about to leave the Cave Mansion to ask He Qingqing about the situation, a very beautiful woman walked in from outside the Cave Mansion.
