Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 1392: The Master-Accepting Ceremony

After receiving the gifts, Zhu Huai’en waited with his two disciples for all the peak disciples to come and offer their congratulations.

This time, they came in groups of one hundred.

Qi Hao and Qi Xuan saw their sister and waved with a smile.

Qi Wen smiled at her two younger brothers. The two little brothers had also started Energy Introduction. They had to work hard; to be surpassed would be quite embarrassing.

Yuanyuan and Tan Shaoting went to the back, as there was nothing for them here.

After all the disciples offered congratulations, the banquet began. Zhu Huai’en didn’t manage the rest, and he left with his two disciples.

Yu Huping smiled and said a few formal words, and soon a steward came to entertain the guests here.

The Xuantian Sect really spared no expense this time, with Spirit Fruits of the Fifth Rank. Now everyone knew how much the Xuantian Sect valued these two.

Yu Huping exchanged pleasantries with the elders from the five major sects.

”Yu Sect Master, congratulations indeed! The disciples that Huaian Taoist took must be exceptional, right?” The Great Elder of the Beast Taming Sect said with a smile.

He came over this time to inquire about the Vermilion Bird.

”I’m not really sure about that, but thinking that the ancestor took them as disciples, they certainly wouldn’t be subpar.”

”Absolutely. Being chosen by Huaian Taoist surely signifies that they’re extraordinary.” The Great Elder of the Sword Sect said with a smile.

He had taken a liking to the elder brother of these two children, but it wasn’t certain yet. That lad was too outstanding, and too many people were eyeing him. If some of the senior members wanted to contend, he really wouldn’t stand a chance.

These two young ones had just returned from their own sect. Had they known these were Huaian Taoist’s disciples, they certainly would have found someone to entertain them—the opportunity was missed.

”If you encounter my two little martial uncles outside in the future, please take care of them.”

”Certainly, certainly.”

”Huaian Taoist is very protective. When the two venture out, they will definitely be equipped well.”

”Yes, indeed. My master finally took on disciples, and they are like precious treasures.”

”Yu Sect Master, I see the parents are very excellent as well.”

Yu Huping nodded with a smile, ”Yes, indeed.”

”Golden Core Stage at a bone age of over thirty. They can truly be listed among the talents.”

Yu Huping just smiled, Tan Shaoting was indeed very outstanding.

After a lively hour, all sects bid farewell and left.

Tan Shaoting received a voice message from Nangong Xingyun, and he had a servant disciple fetch him.

Nangong Xingyun had also formed his Core, just barely at this stage.

”Congratulations, Mr. Tan.”

”Thank you, Nangong Daoist, please have a seat.”

Yuanyuan left after greeting.

”I’m truly envious of Mr. Tan for having such outstanding children.”

”It’s the children’s own efforts. Nangong Daoist, since you are here this time, do stay a while with me.

Although I’m not too familiar with the sect, we can wander around together.”

”Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Tan. My cultivation isn’t stable yet. I only applied to come over because I learned it was Mr. Tan’s talented son who was being apprenticed.”

A servant disciple brought Spiritual Tea, which was specially fragrant and mellow, given by Qi Hong.

”Try this, Nangong Daoist.”

”This is truly good tea, rich in Spiritual Power.”

”I’ll send some back with you, Nangong Daoist.”

”Mr. Tan, what happened last time at the Independent Practitioner Alliance? By the time I found out, I couldn’t contact you anymore.”

”It’s nothing, just some misunderstanding with the Bai Family.”

”Mr. Tan, you also haven’t been in Core Formation for long, yet you’re much more stable than me.”

”Thank you, Nangong Daoist.” Tan Shaoting was grateful to Nangong Xingyun, thus he was willing to befriend him.

Nangong Xingyun thought for a long time before finally deciding to ask, ”Mr. Tan, I have a personal question I want to ask.”

”Nangong Daoist, no need to be polite. Just ask directly.”

”It’s hard for me to bring it up.

Mr. Tan, I’ve always wanted children. I have many women around me, yet none of them are able to conceive. Can you share the secret to having so many children?”

Tan Shaoting guessed that Nangong Xingyun was probably going to ask this.

”Nangong Daoist, I can swear to the heavens, I truly have no secret recipe.”

For a cultivator to say this meant there really wasn’t any.

Nangong Xingyun was very disappointed. He forced a smile, ”Mr. Tan, I’ve tried every possible way, but still nothing.”

Tan Shaoting thought for a moment, ”Nangong Daoist, maybe the issue is having too many women?”

Nangong Xingyun was stunned, ”Is it possible?”

”I’m not sure either. My wife and I have been together since we were in our teens, and we naturally had children.”

”Mr. Tan, is it really because I have too many women?”

How would Tan Shaoting know? He was just offering comfort to Nangong Xingyun.

Unexpectedly, he took it seriously. Things like this are more dependent on women, right? He had read books from his wife’s era, and a woman wouldn’t have children if she wasn’t ovulating. Also, whether she’d bear a boy or girl was up to the man.

Such things couldn’t be mentioned to Nangong Xingyun, so he let him figure it out himself.

Nangong Xingyun’s mind was filled with Tan Shaoting’s words, thinking about how they had been together since their teens. Could it be that his women were all too old?

This possibility was very plausible. Suddenly, Nangong Xingyun thought of a solution: he needed to find younger women with Spirit Roots.

Having come to this realization, he couldn’t sit still, ”Mr. Tan, congratulations again, and thank you for the Spirit Fruit you gave me last time, which was crucial in my Core Formation. This is a small token of my appreciation, please accept it.”

Tan Shaoting took it with a smile, ”Thank you, Nangong Daoist, this is some Spiritual Tea for you, please accept it.”

”Farewell, Mr. Tan, I hope to visit Future City someday.”

”Certainly.”

Tan Shaoting personally escorted Nangong Xingyun down the mountain, and upon returning, he went to find his wife.

Yuanyuan was reading a book. The Jade Scroll on Array Cultivation from a Divinity Transformation Cultivator obtained at Silver Moon Lake last time was indeed very helpful.

”Has he left?”

”Yes, he came to ask me for my secret to having children.”

Yuanyuan put down the book with a smile, ”What did you tell him? If you say you don’t have one, he certainly won’t believe it.”

”I did say that, so I told him maybe it’s because he has too many women.”

After speaking, both laughed.

A servant disciple came to call them, saying the Steward was waiting outside.

It turned out they were summoned as a family of three to the main peak’s council hall.

Just as they were talking, Qi Wen arrived and cheerfully greeted the Steward.

The family of three followed along to the council hall, where Qi Hao and Qi Xuan rushed over and held Yuanyuan’s hand.

”Dad, mom.”

Yuanyuan smiled and responded, then greeted all the Great Powers in the council hall.

In fact, there was no need for their family to be there; it was Qi Hao and Qi Xuan who insisted their parents and sister come.

Yu Huping nodded with a smile, ”Both of you don’t need to be formal, please sit down.”

All the cultivators of Nascent Soul level or above from the Xuantian Sect, except those in seclusion, were present.
