Half a Year

Pill Realm

In the Courtyard Full of Exotic Flowers and Plants, Xiao Yi Xian sat in the Bamboo Pavilion, gazing blankly at the plants outside. As if lost in thought, a gentle smile appeared on her face, and her fingers unconsciously stroked her abdomen.

"Am I wondering again whether I'll have a daughter or a son?"

Medusa's unique and alluring voice came from behind her. Xiao Yi Xian was not surprised. She turned around and saw Medusa carrying Yue'er and walking towards her. Yue'er even called out to her sweetly.

Xiao Yi Xian smiled at Yue'er, then said to Medusa:

"I'm just looking forward to the baby in my belly."

Medusa glanced at Xiao Yi Xian's belly; nearly four months had passed, and the slender Xiao Yi Xian's abdomen had become somewhat swollen.

With Xiao Yi Xian's current strength, it wouldn't be difficult for her to determine the sex of the fetus in her womb. However, as far as Medusa knows, Xiao Yi Xian has never done so.

Medusa hadn't investigated either, but she understood Xiao Yi Xian's thoughts. Whether it was a son or a daughter, they were all their Flesh and Blood, so there was no point in investigating.

Moreover, Xiao Ming didn't care about any of this.

Leaving that topic aside, Medusa sat down, holding Yue'er in her arms.

Have you thought of a name for your child?

"If it's a boy, we'll name him Xiao Wen. We hope that when he grows up, he will be as ambitious as his father."

"If it's a girl, let's name her Ke'er. I don't know if that's a good name," Xiao Yi Xian said with a smile.

I think it's good.

Suddenly, the two women heard a voice and saw Xiao Ming walk in with Zi Yan and Qing Lin.

"Ke, meaning jade, implies elegance, nobility, purity, and flawlessness; it is indeed a good name."

"Xiao Ming, you're back!"

Upon seeing Xiao Ming, the two women were pleasantly surprised and, without even paying attention to his name, quickly stood up. But before they could make a move, a small figure flew into Xiao Ming's arms first.

"Father! Yue'er misses you so much!"

"Yue'er, Daddy misses you too."

Hugging his daughter, Xiao Ming smiled and kissed her on the cheek, making her giggle.

Seeing this harmonious scene between father and daughter, the women smiled somewhat helplessly.

Suddenly, Yue'er looked up from Xiao Ming and asked, "Father, is Yue'er's name a good name, just like my sister's?"

"Whether she's still my sister or not is still uncertain..."

Xiao Ming muttered something to himself, then nodded.

"Of course!"

Medusa her daughter so much, how could she possibly choose a random name? Yue means "divine pearl," the apple of her eye.

With Yue'er by his side, Xiao Ming entered the Bamboo Pavilion and sat down next to Xiao Yi Xian.

"The Bodhi Ancient Tree is Ancient Times artifact. Did you encounter any danger this time?" Xiao Yi Xian asked.

There was no danger, but the gains were substantial.

Xiao Ming smiled and then told Xiao Yi Xian Medusa about his experience.

In the end, he also gave Medusa a Bodhi Heart.

Among the girls, Medusa is the only one whose strength hasn't broken through to the Dou Sheng because she returned to the Jiama Empire, and she hasn't chosen to go into seclusion to break through in order to take care of Yue'er.

With Bodhi Heart, Medusa could break through to the Dou Sheng even without prolonged seclusion.

Of course, evolving into a Nine-Colored Swallowing Python is another matter entirely.

Xiao Ming had a total of six Bodhi Heart. He gave one to Zi Yan as a snack and another to Medusa.

Qing Lin and Xiao Yi Xian didn't want them because they had already broken through to the next level, leaving four Bodhi Heart remaining.

Xiao Ming planned to give one of the Bodhi Hearts to his teacher, Elder Huo. The remaining three Bodhi Heart, along with the pills, would be enough to cultivate three Dou Sheng.

As for who to train, Xiao Ming's first choice is a Xiao Family Members. Xiao Ming doesn't plan to give it to someone directly, because that would only result in a spoiled brat.

The Bodhi Heart enlightenment) must be given to those with excellent minds.

Therefore, selection is necessary, and it is a rigorous selection process. Because it is a rigorous selection process, children who are not mentally mature cannot participate.

The selection process takes time, and Xiao Ming doesn't plan to travel for extended periods over the next six months, so he has plenty of time. However, that's a matter for later; for now, Xiao Ming is mainly spending time with the women.

Over the next few days, Xiao Ming spent several warm and cozy days with the girls.

Then, Xuan Kongzi, with a pained expression, begged him to take him away. Besides some Heavenly Court affairs that required Xiao Ming's personal attention, there was also a meeting held by the Heavenly Court to discuss whether Pill Gathering should be held.

The Pill Gathering was originally organized by the Pill Tower, but now that the Pill Tower has been integrated into the Heavenly Court, everyone has different opinions on whether it should still be held.

In the end, it was Xiao Ming who made the final decision to hold the Pill Gathering as scheduled.

After all, the Pill Gathering is a major event across the entire continent, and it would be a pity to cancel it.

Holding the Pill Gathering also has its advantages; the Heavenly Court can use it to expand its influence.

And so, with Xiao Ming's decision, the news that the Heavenly Court was going to hold Pill Gathering began to spread throughout the continent.

This delighted many Alchemists who thought the Pill Gathering impossible to hold, and they hurriedly packed their things and began to rush to the Central Region, fearing that they would miss it.

The Pill Gathering only be held for a little over a year.

If you miss it, you'll probably be so angry you'll vomit blood. You know, the top ten in this Pill Gathering have a chance to subdue the Three Thousand Burning Flame!

The champion of the Pill Gathering will also become a Pill Tower Giant, which means entering the Heavenly Court Core.

Who wouldn't be tempted?

When news of the Pill Gathering spread, Xiao Ming also took some time to return to the Northwest Continent and entrusted the Bodhi Heart to his teacher, Elder Huo.

It is worth mentioning that Zi Yan, after much Bodhi Heart, neither consumed it herself nor took it back to the Ancient Void Dragon Clan. Instead, she gave it to Su Qian when she returned to the Jia Nan Academy with Xiao Ming.

This made Xiao Ming feel a little emotional; Zi Yan had indeed grown up.

Besides these matters, Xiao Ming also returned to the Xiao Family and selected three clansmen.

This selection process was incredibly challenging, and in the end, Xiao Ming even resorted to using the illusion technique that the Bodhi Tree Sapling had recently developed.

Among the three chosen in the end was Xiao Shan, and two other Xiao Family Members whom Xiao Ming was not familiar with.

Xiao Shan Ming wasn't too surprised by Xiao Ming's presence; Xiao Shan's Willpower was indeed quite good, and he didn't give him any special treatment.

As for the other two unnamed individuals, Xiao Ming could only sigh that the Xiao Family still had some talented people, but in the past, their talents were insufficient, so even the strongest Willpower was useless.

However, now that I have Bodhi Heart, it doesn't matter whether my talent is good or bad, because I can reach the Dou Sheng within a few years anyway.

Once they become Dou Sheng), the Xiao Family can barely be called the Xiao Clan.

Xiao Ming also created a small space in Wu Tan City with abundant Heaven and Earth Energy).

In this respect, Xiao Ming can be said to have done everything he could for the Xiao Family.

Back in Central Plains, six months passed in the blink of an eye.

Xiao Ming was twenty-five years old at the time. Through self-cultivation, his strength broke through to the Six Star Dou Sheng Mid-stage.

His second child was born smoothly, and it was a daughter.

Just a few days after his daughter was born, Xiao Ming received Invitation Letter from the Ancient Clan.
