My Li Family Descendants Are Everywhere

Seeing his descendants enjoy a happy marriage brought great comfort to Li Xiang.

Time in the game continued to flow, and Li Dalong and his wife settled into a life of farming and weaving, while the young man also worked hard at his cultivation.

[Year 5]

[Through constant effort, Li Dalong has broken through to the third level of Qi Refining.]

[In the same year, Xu Cuihua gave birth to a son after ten months of pregnancy, naming him Li Yaozu!]

[Congratulations on the addition of a new family member, Incense +10!]

"He's born, he's finally born!"

With double the joy, Li Xiang was equally ecstatic and took a large gulp of his drink.

On the game screen.

Li Dalong, who had been waiting anxiously outside, danced with joy, "The Ancestor has manifested! It's a boy, the Li Family has an heir!"

The scene shifted rapidly.

Holding the newborn infant, Li Dalong wept tears of joy before the ancestral altar.

"Ancestor, look at our family's big, healthy boy. My son Yaozu has the potential of an immortal!"

A reward, there must be a reward!

[Used 'Ancestral Blessing: Love from the Ancestor', consuming 4 points of Incense.]

In an instant, light enveloped the father and son before the altar.

"Child, did you see that? The Ancestor has manifested again. May the Ancestor protect my son from illness and disaster!"

[Obtained Incense +2]

After the celebration.

Li Xiang hurriedly clicked on the newborn's personal information.

Compared to Li Dalong's mixed spirit roots, Li Yaozu's aptitude was clearly better.

[Spirit Roots: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth]

[Wood Spirit Root: 56]

Although it was still a mixed spirit root, each root had its own quality; a spirit root reaching 100 points was considered complete, and 56 points could be considered average.

Compared to Li Dalong's 38 points in Metal Spirit Root, this was much better!

"My Li Family is thriving!"

Afterward, Li Xiang happily had Yuexian prepare a late-night snack, and after finishing it, he began to fight continuously in his room.

This was the benefit of being a cultivator; one didn't have to fear exhaustion even after staying up all night.

He watched the development of the Li Family quietly.

Ever since the child arrived, the Li Family in the game interface had undergone significant changes.

Li Dalong had repaired the house, making it much larger, and had opened up several more acres of fertile land.

It seemed there were seasonal changes in the game as well; Li Xiang could even see when the fields lay fallow, but fortunately, Li Dalong was a cultivator and didn't have to worry about going hungry thanks to his hunting.

Not long after.

The action panel made Li Xiang pause in surprise.

[Li Dalong has hunted all the wild boars in the Wild Boar Forest, obtaining the trait 'Wild Boar Slayer'!]

"???"

What kind of strange trait was this?

Li Xiang clicked to view it.

[Wild Boar Slayer: Combat power increased by 10%, damage against porcine creatures increased by 200%.]

"Awesome."

Li Xiang gave a thumbs up; it seemed his descendant had made significant progress in a certain field.

And after the new addition.

This small Li Family homestead was now full of vitality.

Li Xiang even saw Li Yaozu, who was just crawling on the ground, being brought to the altar by Li Dalong to kowtow; clearly, Li Dalong understood that ancestral worship should start from a young age.

[Obtained Incense +3]

Immediately following.

Li Xiang saw that Xu Cuihua's belly had grown large once again!

He checked the timeline in the game: Year 7.

"As expected of my descendant, a real man!"

Not long after.

[Xu Cuihua has successfully given birth to a daughter, named 'Li Yaoqing'!]

[Congratulations to the Li Family for the new addition, Incense +10]

Immediately following the same scene, Li Dalong led his family to worship before the altar once again.

"This unfilial descendant has failed the Ancestor's expectations; we failed to produce a son this time. Please, Ancestor, grant us your forgiveness!"

Li Dalong wailed and sobbed, as if he had committed some grave sin.

He held the oblivious Li Yaozu, while Xu Cuihua, standing beside him, held the newborn baby girl with a dejected expression.

What is the meaning of this? Preferring sons over daughters?

Li Xiang's face darkened. In his view, as long as the descendants could contribute to the family's prosperity, it made no difference whether they were boys or girls. Both favoring sons over daughters and favoring daughters over sons were unacceptable.

He pondered for a moment.

[Use 'Ancestral Blessing · Love from the Ancestor', consuming 2 points of Incense.]

This time, however, the skill was only applied to Li Yaoqing, and not to anyone else!

In that instant.

Li Dalong seemed to immediately understand Li Xiang's intent, and his kowtowing this time appeared somewhat fearful.

"Ancestral spirit, please calm your anger. Dalong understands now. As long as they are children of our Li Family, I will cherish them all. Thank you, Ancestor, for bestowing your blessing upon Yaoqing!"

[Obtained Incense +3]

Seeing this, Li Xiang's expression finally softened. Although he could not communicate with the people in the game, he could use other methods to make them understand his intentions. Last time he had used 'Love from the Ancestor' on everyone, but this time he only gave it to Li Yaoqing; the meaning could not have been clearer.

After the family continued their daily routines, Li Xiang checked Li Yaoqing's personal information.

The aptitude of this child was somewhat inferior, even worse than Li Dalong's, with only her Water Spirit Root barely reaching 20 points.

But it didn't matter. As long as the family members increased, they could contribute to the family; even having an extra person to farm was good.

Li Xiang then glanced at the top right corner.

Eight years had passed. During this time, the descendants of the Li Family would kowtow toward the altar from time to time.

Li Xiang had also gradually understood the conditions for generating 'Incense'; it seemed to increase when the descendants kowtowed with piety or when special events occurred.

Currently, his Incense had reached 38 points.

By this time, Li Yaozu was already running all over the place. Although he was only 3 years old, perhaps due to eating meat frequently, his body was sturdier than that of an average child. Li Dalong had even given Li Yaozu a wooden sword, letting him practice swordsmanship from a young age.

Cultivation should start from childhood, though 3 years old was clearly not an age capable of understanding how to cultivate immortality.

Li Yaoqing, on the other hand, was only 1 year old and showed no great interest in cultivation. Instead, in the scene, she was often seen crawling toward the vegetable garden, looking with curiosity at Li Dalong as he irrigated the fields.

Then.

To Li Xiang's pleasant surprise, Li Dalong's wife, who had just given birth not long ago, was showing signs of pregnancy again at the start of the year!

"Ancestral protection, your unfilial descendant Li Dalong and his wife have come to kowtow, thanking the Ancestor for bestowing yet another child!"

Impressive!

Li Xiang did not hesitate to bestow 'Love from the Ancestor' upon Li Dalong.

"Thank you, Ancestor! The Ancestor is truly watching over this unfilial descendant at all times. Rest assured, Ancestor, with your protection, my wife will surely be able to bear more children and bring glory to our Li Family!"

[Incense +2]

Li Xiang was very satisfied.

Look at this descendant of Li Dalong; although his aptitude was poor, he was very sensible, especially his fertility, which made him, as the ancestor, feel a bit proud.

After cutting away from the scene.

An anomaly appeared in the member action list.

[It is a year of severe drought. With more and more children in the house, the Wild Boar Forest no longer has any small animals, and the children are tired of eating pork. He decides to go to a more distant place to find other food. He plans to hunt more to prepare reserve rations for his family.]

Look at that, what a responsible child.

Li Xiang opened the map.

Soon, he saw Li Dalong walking on the map, arriving at a place called [Silver Iron Forest].

Not long after, Li Xiang saw in the scene that Li Dalong was in a standoff with a horse.

[Li Dalong fought with the demonic beast Iron Forest Horse, wounding it. He chased it for three days and three nights, finally capturing it. However, in the pleading gaze of the Iron Forest Horse, he saw that it possessed human-like intelligence, so he let it go. He silently reached for his basket, thinking to himself that he should walk further away so the blood wouldn't splash on him.]

[Unexpectedly, watching the bow raised by the human before it, the Iron Forest Horse felt a sense of gratitude. It followed Li Dalong all the way back to the Li Family and became Li Dalong's mount!]

After acquiring a demonic beast.

Li Dalong specifically built a stable, and in the family residence, one could see a horse running around happily.

And not long after.

The Li Family once again received good news, which made Li Xiang beam with joy.

[Xu Cuihua has successfully given birth to a son, named 'Li Yaotie'!]

[Congratulations to the Li Family for the new addition, Incense +10]

Three children now!

Given Li Dalong's fertility, he would produce a soccer team sooner or later and go straight to bringing glory to the national team... no, he'd produce an entire platoon!

The Li Family was once again expressing their gratitude and devotion toward the Ancestral Tablet.

The newborn, Li Yaotie, also possessed decent aptitude.

[Metal Spirit Root: 42]

[Fire Spirit Root: 51]

In particular, this little guy—who knows what he ate while in the womb—already had a trait the moment he was born, and he even yanked a strand of hair right off Li Dalong's head!

[Trait: Bone Strengthening]

[Bones are larger than those of an average child, strength increased by 5%.]

"Old Ancestor, did you see that? My son Yaotie has such great strength; he'll surely be an expert at carrying manure in the future!"

On behalf of your son Yaotie, I thank you...

Li Xiang rejoiced at the growth of the family members. Li Dalong was clearly very diligent, constantly hunting in the Silver Iron Forest, though the Silver Iron Forest seemed to be a place with quite a few demonic beasts; once, even Li Dalong, at the fourth level of Qi Refining, suffered a minor injury.

However, Li Xiang immediately used Love from the Ancestor on Li Dalong.

What surprised Li Xiang was that the "Drought" weather in the game world lasted for a long time, even affecting the fields next to the house, leaving the Li Family's only daughter, Li Yaoqing, holding yellow dirt and crying bitterly.

Time quickly arrived at the ninth year.

The drought had not yet ended, but Li Dalong had been well-prepared; neither the three children nor his wife went hungry because of it, and the water in the well had not dried up.

Just as Li Xiang was watching the family slowly develop and waiting for the tenth year to arrive so the incense burner would appear and allow him to use [Bestowal], he furrowed his brows tightly.

[Special Event: Bandits]

[In a year of great drought, crops withered, and many commoners were reduced to banditry. Thirteen bandits visited the Li Family in the dead of night. One bandit saw the Iron Forest Horse and, having no sense of self-preservation, tried to steal it, only to be kicked to death by the Iron Forest Horse. The commotion woke Li Dalong!]

In the scene, the lights of the Li Family home blazed in the middle of the night. Under Li Xiang's gaze, Li Dalong rushed out of his room, brandishing a firewood chopper.

He raised his blade toward the bandits outside the stable and roared.

"Get away from our home, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
