Yan Siyi Was Pregnant

After saying this, Yang Siling spoke again.

"Peng Yun, did you obtain a Second Rank High Grade Purple Moon Spirit Fruit during your trip to the Golden Horn Grassland with Xiao Hong?"

Ling Pengyun had anticipated this.

After all, when Wu Hong took the five Purple Moon Spirit Fruit, he had already indicated that they were for his father to use in his cultivation breakthrough.

Yang Siling is quick-witted, so it's normal that she could guess the Purple Moon Spirit Tree through the Purple Moon Spirit Fruit.

Ling Pengyun therefore did not hide his thoughts and spoke up.

"As expected, I couldn't hide it from your Fiery Eyes of Truth, cousin."

Yang Siling instructed, "You brat, all you know how to do is try to fool Xiao Hong with the Purple Moon Spirit Fruit."

"Since your Ling Clan has already taken that Second Rank High Grade Purple Moon Spirit Fruit, I won't say any more."

"This tree is quite valuable. Your Ling Clan should keep it well hidden. It's best not to let the spiritual fruits it bears circulate outside the family, otherwise it will definitely cause trouble for your Ling Clan."

"However, after several decades, when the Purple Moon Spirit Tree bears Second Rank High Grade Purple Moon Spirit Fruit again, you will have to sell me five spirit fruits."

"I know that your Spirit Plant has reached the Second Rank High Grade, which can increase the fruiting speed of the Purple Moon Spirit Tree. Don't try to fool me with the fact that it only bears Second Rank High Grade spiritual fruit once every hundred years."

"I'm not as easily fooled as my elders in my mother's clan. I was fooled by your Ling Clan for over ten years about the Rock Scale Snake Den before I realized that your Ling Clan's second-tier Spirit Planter could produce two batches of Spirit Plant in a short time, which allowed your Ling Clan to make a fortune for so many years."

"Cousin, please don't bring up the past. My Ling Clan's Spirit Planter earns his living through his own abilities, so you can't blame the Ling Clan for this."

"Furthermore, now that your mother clan, the Yang Clan, has discovered this matter, the Yang Clan receives nearly twice as many Spirit Plant from the Rock Scale Snake Den every year as before. So, my Ling Clan is not exactly losing out to the Yang Clan."

"As for the Purple Moon Spirit Fruit, that's easy to say. As long as you want as much as you like, I will definitely beg for it and give it to you," Ling Pengyun said with a smile.

"You brat, I'll be waiting. If you don't give me five Second Rank High Grade Purple Moon Spirit Fruit, I'll tear your house down." Yang Siling was quite taken with this and laughed heartily.

The two stopped talking about the Purple Moon Spirit Tree and started chatting about everyday things.

Soon, it was noon.

As the Master, Yang Siling naturally kept Ling Pengyun in the mansion for a meal.

Subsequently, Ling Pengyun, with the help of Yang Siling, purchased a considerable amount of second-tier spirit iron from the Affairs Hall of the Serpent Dragon Lake Branch to assist in refining Second Grade Magic Tool using the Demon Beast materials obtained during his trip to the Golden Horn Grassland.

After finishing this task, he bid farewell to Yang Siling and returned to Cangdao Small Courtyard to stay for a few days with his parents and Grandfather Yan Cang.

Winter arrived when snowflakes began to fall from the sky.

Ling Pengyun then left Serpent Dragon Lake with his Daoist partner Yan Siyi and returned to Falling Dusk Mountain.

Upon entering the mountain, Yan Siyi immediately went into seclusion.

Because Yan Siyi already had a solid foundation, she was not far from the Late-Stage Foundation Establishment.

In addition, he had the help of the Second Rank High Grade Purple Moon Spirit Fruit given to him by Ling Pengyun, which could assist in the breakthrough.

She had only been in seclusion for half a month when she successfully broke through to the Late-Stage Foundation Establishment.

Once she had stabilized her cultivation, she and Ling Pengyun once again enjoyed the good life of cultivating during the day and "fighting" at night.

These good days lasted for a whole year.

It was noon on this day.

Within the huge pool of Meditation Room in the "Pengyi Cave Residence" of Falling Dusk Mountain.

The Black Armored Turtle, which had been sleeping here for many years, suddenly erupted with a huge aura. Its body transformed into a vortex, continuously absorbing the surrounding Spiritual Qi into itself.

As the turtle absorbed more and more Spiritual Qi, the aura it emitted also became stronger and stronger.

Outside the cave abode, on the stone table under the banyan tree Falling Dusk Mountain, Ling Pengyun, Yan Siyi, Ling Chengping, Ling Xiaoyan, who were having lunch, were all awakened by the strange noise.

"The strange activity caused by the Black Armored Turtle?"

"This tortoise has been stuck at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Third Layer for several years. During this time, it has consumed a lot of second-tier Spirit Cuisine and has been aided by the Second Grade Middle Rank Lotus Cloud Water Grass every day. Its aptitude is also extraordinary. It is normal for it to be able to attempt to break through to the Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment so quickly."

Ling Pengyun sensed this aura, looked towards the cave abode, his eyes lit up with joy, and he sighed inwardly.

"Congratulations, Peng Yun Earl, on gaining another great help." The quick-witted Ling Chengping immediately congratulated Ling Pengyun.

"You're becoming more and more likable, girl." Ling Pengyun's face lit up with even more joy upon hearing Ling Chengping's congratulations.

Although they were young, Ling Xiaoyan and Yan Siyi, who were of very high seniority, also offered their congratulations.

"Alright, everyone, hurry up and eat these Spirit Cuisine Spirit Cuisine on the table, or they'll get cold."

After saying this, Ling Pengyun picked up his chopsticks and placed a piece of braised Azure Moon Spirit Fish into Yan Siyi's bowl.

Seeing this, Yan Siyi smiled and started eating.

Ling Chengping and Ling Xiaoyan stopped looking in the direction of the cave abode and picked up their chopsticks to eat the several Spirit Cuisine placed on the stone table.

Several hours later, the strange phenomenon caused by the Black Armored Turtle gradually dissipated.

Within the Pengyi Cave Residence where the Black Armored Turtle resided, an aura of someone at the Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment also emanated.

After lunch, Ling Pengyun, who had been sitting by the stone table protecting the Black Armored Turtle, opened his eyes.

"This tortoise truly lives up to its extraordinary qualities."

Ling Pengyun stood up, stepped into Pengyi Cave Residence, and found the Black Armored Turtle.

After breaking through, the Black Armored Turtle Black Armored Turtle, which was already enormous, grew even larger, reaching a size of four zhang (approximately 13 meters).

The spiritual aura shimmering on the huge tortoise shell on its back had also intensified.

At the same time, the Black Armored Turtle, which had just completed its breakthrough, noticed Ling Pengyun's arrival. It immediately opened its eyes and conveyed the good news to Ling Pengyun.

Ling Pengyun patted the Black Armored Turtle's head and said with a smile.

"Activate your defensive Divine Ability, the Black Armor Heavenly Qi Shield, and let me test the defensive strength of your Law Technique."

The Black Armored Turtle's eyes narrowed, and a huge light screen made of its shell appeared, enveloping the enormous Black Armored Turtle.

Ling Pengyun waved his hand, summoning his Lifebound Magic Item, the Azure Sea Heavy Yuan Pearl, and directly bombarded the Xuanjia Black Armor Heavenly Qi Shield.

"Boom."

A huge dent was immediately smashed into the Black Armor Heavenly Qi Shield Azure Sea Heavy Yuan Treasure Pearl.

However, the Black Armor Heavenly Qi Shield ultimately managed to block the Azure Sea Heavy Yuan Treasure Pearl.

The Azure Sea Heavy Yuan Treasure Pearl struck again, finally shattering the Heavenly Star Shield.

Upon seeing this, Ling Pengyun's eyes lit up with joy.

"I didn't expect that the defensive Divine Ability this turtle used could withstand two consecutive attacks from me when I activated the Azure Sea Heavy Yuan Treasure Pearl with all my might. This level of defense is no weaker than the defensive light barrier provided by an ordinary Second Rank High Grade defensive magic Law Artifact."

"If this turtle can break through to the Late-Stage Foundation Establishment, it probably wouldn't have any problem with withstanding five consecutive attacks from the Azure Sea Heavy Yuan Treasure Pearl."

It should be noted that the Azure Sea Heavy Yuan Treasure Pearl weighs a staggering 130,000 jin (approximately 65 tons), and a full-force strike from it is comparable to the full-force strike of Foundation Establishment Completion cultivator at the peak of their cultivation.

However, the Black Armored Turtle only had Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment level.

Generally, Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment Demon Beast can hardly withstand a full-force attack from Foundation Establishment Completion cultivator using only defensive Divine Ability.

The main reason why the Black Armored Turtle can master such a powerful innate defensive Divine Ability is its exceptional talent, and also because the Black Armored Turtle Race is inherently good at defense.

"There are only nine years left until my journey to the Boundless Sea Region Cultivation World, which I agreed upon with Ancestral Grandfather Yun Hong."

"Given the turtle's cultivation speed over these nine years, and with the help of the second-tier Spirit Cuisine cooked by the lady, it should have a good chance of breaking through to the Late-Stage Foundation Establishment."

"With the help of the Black Armored Turtle, which has strong defense and is skilled in water escape techniques, it will be much safer for Ancestral Grandfather Yun Hong and me to go to the Boundless Sea Region, which is more than 70% seawater."

"However, this tortoise alone is not enough."

"I don't need to worry about my cultivation. Reaching the Foundation Establishment Completion in the remaining nine years is a sure thing."

"Now... the only thing that can still be improved is my Second Grade Middle Rank Lifebound Magic Item, the Azure Sea Heavy Yuan Pearl."

"I need to work hard to earn Spirit Stone over these nine years to buy more Water Spirit Iron to smelt in it."

After making some plans, Ling Pengyun instructed the Black Armored Turtle to stabilize its cultivation and cultivate diligently before leaving the cultivation room.

He then entered another cultivation room next door, took out the materials from a Foundation Establishment Demon Beast he had obtained during his trip to the Golden Horn Grassland last year, as well as the Second Rank Low Grade Flame Fire Refining Furnace, and began refining the weapon.

During his trip to the Golden Horn Grassland last year, he took the materials from the dozen or so Foundation Establishment Demon Beast that he and Wu Hong had killed. He then forged them into Law Artifact and shared the profits with Wu Hong.

In addition, it takes a long time to refine a Second Grade Magic Tool.

This meant that even after a year, Ling Pengyun had not exhausted the batch of materials he had.

However, during this year, he refined Second Grade Magic Tool several times, which increased the number of Second Grade Magic Tool in his Storage Bag and his refining skills also slowly improved.

Another year has passed.

Spring, when everything comes back to life, has just passed, and the sweltering summer winds have quietly arrived.

That day, at night.

Ling Pengyun and Yan Siyi, who had just finished about twenty "battles", had barely stopped when Yan Siyi felt a sudden heat in her abdomen.

Immediately afterwards, she felt a faint and unfamiliar life force in her abdomen.

This glimmer of life did not belong to her, yet it bore a resemblance to her aura.

Ling Pengyun, who was naturally very sensitive to life, also noticed the life force appearing in Yan Siyi's abdomen.

His expression immediately brightened, and he smiled broadly, overjoyed.

"Madam, you are pregnant."

"Judging from the strong yang energy contained in that life force, it is estimated to be... a boy."

Yan Siyi, who was still somewhat unsure whether she was pregnant, became certain upon hearing this, and a look of joy appeared on her face.

"My lord, what name do you intend to give this child?"

Ling Pengyun thought for a moment and then asked, "Since it's currently summer, let's take the character 'summer' as the name, and call it Ling Xia."

"If this Xia Er possesses Spirit Root, she will belong to the Cheng Generation among the five generations of the Ling Clan: Yun, Xiao, Peng, Cheng, and Wan, and will be named Ling Chengxia."

"I wonder if the name satisfies you, Madam?"

Yan Siyi was quite satisfied with the name and immediately nodded in agreement.

"This name sounds nice, so let's name her Ling Xia."

"By the way, my husband."

"I want to tell my parents and Grandfather that I am pregnant."

"In this way, my parents and Grandfather can retire early and live out their old age in our Falling Dusk Mountain, just as we agreed on back then."

"My husband, do you agree to this?"

Ling Pengyun smiled and said, "This is a good thing, how could I refuse?"

When Yan Siyi saw that Ling Pengyun had agreed, her joy was even greater. She raised her cherry-like lips and kissed Ling Pengyun on the cheek.
