The Daughter Of Destiny Broke Off The Engagement? I Married Her Sister Instead.

"My husband... I'm pregnant."

Gu Qingxue spoke, raising her head and smiling at her husband.

Chu Qianqiu's heart raced, momentarily at a loss, but soon recovered and smiled brightly.

"You're pregnant?"

He said, carefully touching his wife's belly, but feeling nothing.

Of course, he couldn't feel anything.

Because at this moment, the pregnancy had just begun and the fetus had not yet formed.

But the thought that their child was on the way made him, a first-time father, nervous and at a loss, so he could only smile foolishly.

"Hehe..."

"Husband, there's something else."

"This morning, while taking your pulse, I also used your spirit-testing stone."

"Unconsciously, I have become a first-grade spiritual root, and my cultivation has reached the second stage of Qi Refining."

"What's going on?"

Gu Qingxue shared the good news with her husband and also mentioned another strange discovery from this morning.

Chu Qianqiu realized that she already knew, so he shared the information he had obtained from books with her.

"So, I have a special constitution?"

"Or is it the kind that even immortals can't detect?"

Hearing about her body's secrets, Gu Qingxue felt incredulous.

Chu Qianqiu timely spoke up again, admitting that he had been shameless and made her work so hard these days because of this reason.

"It's okay, husband. Although I've been tired these days, I'm very happy."

"And I also want to have a child soon, it's only natural."

"After the baby is born, we can continue..."

Gu Qingxue said, her cheeks blushing.

Chu Qianqiu understood her meaning and patted her head, saying:

"Alright, then rest well for now, take these days to rest."

"Mm, husband."

...

News of Gu Qingxue's pregnancy quickly reached Chu's parents' ears.

In the midst of their busy schedule, they didn't forget to check on their daughter-in-law's condition, and Ren Qianxue also began to exchange experiences on preparing for pregnancy with her daughter-in-law.

Chu Qianqiu stood with Chu Cangxuan, privately discussing matters related to the spiritual mine.

"Qiu'er, how did you discover this treasure mine? We've been settled in Clear Pond Town for so long and didn't notice at all!"

"The spiritual stones below are simply amazing when detected!"

"I'm afraid it will take several years before we can even dig to the end!"

"Now, the mined spiritual stones are still stored at the entrance of the mine, and we dare not take them out."

"After all, the spiritual energy released by those stones is too strong, even us ordinary people can feel the impact."

"Even those who can't cultivate can see the way these spiritual energies float around, it's too exaggerated..."

Chu Cangxuan said, sweat slowly dripping from his forehead.

He knew and understood that these spiritual stones were a great opportunity and a great disaster for the Chu family.

Once people from powerful forces discovered that the Chu family had such exaggerated spiritual stones, they would likely face trouble in the future.

Fortunately, the Gu family had left Clear Pond Town, and currently, there was no force daring to provoke them.

As long as they acted low-key, no one should notice.

"Father, the ones you've mined should be low-grade spiritual stones, right?"

"Let's take these stones out in batches and go to the nearest Moon Phoenix City to buy daily necessities and enrich our family's life."

"In the future, when the mining here is complete, we will leave Clear Pond Town and go to a bigger place for development."

Chu Qianqiu thought for a moment and came up with these ideas, expressing them.

He hoped to sell some of the spiritual stones first to improve the family's living conditions.

Now, the descendants of the family have almost become like peasants, looking a bit shabby.

They never abandon the Chu family, remaining loyal for generations, all being part of the big family.

In addition, Chu Qianqiu has been using the family's resources since he was young to buy good herbs to nourish his body.

All the money was contributed by everyone in the Chu family.

Until now, everyone has no complaints, how could Chu Qianqiu be stingy?

"Alright, you are the head of the family, I will listen to you now!"

"I will distribute some spirit stones to everyone later, and send some people to Moon Phoenix City to purchase supplies."

"Actually, I asked everyone's opinion before, and everyone said they would listen to your orders, otherwise they wouldn't move a single bit."

Chu Cangxuan smiled and patted the young man's shoulder.

Chu Qianqiu naturally laughed along and the two of them separated afterwards.

After a while, a group of excited Chu family descendants came to the front of the young man. They bowed and kneeled, almost prostrating themselves.

Chu Qianqiu quickly asked these people to stand up and advised them properly.

After a while, these people left quietly and headed to the big city far away from Clear Pond Town.

Clear Pond Town is located at the border between Falling Star Empire and Rising Sun Empire, obstructed by mountains and rivers, and belongs to an unregulated area.

The Chu family is going to Moon Phoenix City, which is under the jurisdiction of the Rising Sun Empire.

In the Rising Sun Empire, there are many cities like Moon Phoenix City.

Although Moon Phoenix City is a medium-sized city, it lacks nothing in terms of supplies, much better than a place like Clear Pond Town.

Women's makeup, perfumes, fine silk fabrics, and jewelry.

Men's weapons and armor, exquisite clothing, tobacco and pipes...almost everything can be bought.

Of course, when Chu Qianqiu sent the descendants out this time, he also arranged for them to purchase some high-quality building materials that are only available in the city.

The Chu family's courtyard has been in disrepair for a long time, and many places are in a dilapidated state. It's time to buy some good materials and renovate it properly.

...

As the family became busy again.

These days, Chu Qianqiu let Xue'er rest well and didn't flirt with her anymore.

He planned to wait quietly for the birth of his child and then improve his cultivation.

Now that there is a spiritual mine in the family, he often goes to absorb spiritual energy there.

However, the environment inside the spiritual mine is really bad, with too much dust in the air.

Because of this, he had to bring some spirit stones up and place them in his own room to achieve some of the effects of being in the spiritual mine.

With the assistance of the spirit stones, the next step is to practice seriously.

Chu Qianqiu took out the yellow-grade cultivation technique that the system had given him at the beginning and started to study it seriously.

This cultivation technique is called "Fiery Fist Technique" and is already a high-quality yellow-grade technique, quite remarkable.

According to the introduction, if this technique is cultivated to the Mahayana stage, the practitioner can cover their whole body with flames, making it difficult for Dao techniques to invade, and a single punch can unleash a huge fire snake.

Unfortunately, the formal qualification for practicing this technique is that the cultivator must reach the Foundation Building stage.

Because the Foundation Building stage is the starting point, cultivators can mobilize the spiritual energy in their bodies.

"What should I do..."

Chu Qianqiu muttered, unexpectedly finding that he couldn't cultivate the technique he had obtained.

But he didn't give up. After carefully examining the technique, he discovered that there was a special method hidden behind it.

That is...

A set of accompanying fist techniques hidden behind the technique, although it doesn't have a name, it can be practiced in advance.

This set of fist techniques serves as an extension or foundation of the Fiery Fist Technique, making it easier for cultivators to unleash the power of the flames in actual combat.

Moreover, the essence of this set of fist techniques is separate from the cultivation technique. Anyone can practice it without any concerns until they become proficient.

Chu Qianqiu was stunned, as if he realized something.

And he also discovered the most important point mentioned in the fist technique.

That is...

According to the book, if this set of fist techniques is practiced persistently and the practitioner is in a place with spiritual energy, even ordinary people without innate spiritual roots can gradually improve themselves, and even benefit their offspring, increasing the probability of their descendants obtaining the qualification for cultivation!
