The nephew of the Daoist Master? Why didn't the Daoist Master take him as a disciple himself, but instead introduced him to someone else? Could it be that this young man's talent wasn't very good, which is why the Daoist Master didn't accept him?
Sigh— the leader of the Qingcheng Sect thought to himself. There was no choice; even if this man’s talent was poor, he had to "happily" accept this disciple.
The leader of the Qingcheng Sect maintained a fake smile as he took on Malangyu as his disciple. However, after testing his talent, the leader couldn't help but beam with joy. Oh my, it turned out that the Daoist Master had sent them a treasure! A Spiritual Root! A Spiritual Root that was rarely seen in the cultivation world for a thousand years, and their Qingcheng Sect had obtained two in just a hundred years! They were truly blessed!
“Disciple, here’s a storage bag for you. Feel free to use what's inside, and if you need more, just ask your master,” the leader of the Qingcheng Sect generously handed Malangyu a storage bag filled to the brim, his youthful face breaking into a smile that made him look like he had wrinkles.
Malangyu's eyes sparkled as he received the storage bag, holding it with both hands as if it were the most precious treasure.
How could it not be precious? This was a storage bag! A storage bag! In the cultivation world, a storage bag could hold items as large as a room despite being palm-sized; this was still the lowest grade. Malangyu nearly drooled. Although he currently lacked cultivation and couldn't open the storage bag, surely blood recognition would allow him to access it?
In reality, it wouldn’t. If blood recognition could open a storage bag, then they would be far too cheap in the cultivation world. Malangyu felt disheartened and sought advice from his newly appointed Shishu Long Wenwen on how to cultivate; he wanted to quickly enter the Qi Refinement Stage.
Jia Qianjun wrapped his arm around Malangyu's neck and pulled him along. “Your most important task right now is to make a good movie. You can focus on cultivation after filming wraps up.”
Malangyu wanted to cry but extended his arms toward Long Wenwen. “Shishu, help me! I want to cultivate!”
Long Wenwen smiled and declined his nephew's plea for help. “I’m no match for your master!”
While Jia Qianjun was busy filming in the cultivation world, Hanno happily stayed at home preparing for childbirth. Nine months flew by in an instant, and when she felt two little buns ready to make their entrance, Hanno checked into the hospital early. By ten o'clock that night, her belly began to stir, and nurses hurriedly brought her into the delivery room. Just two hours later, when the hour and minute hands overlapped on the clock, two children rushed out of Hanno's belly. The girl was surprisingly more assertive than her brother and emerged first, becoming the elder sister. Elder Brother Li held both children in his arms with a silly grin; although he had held his two nephews before, nothing compared to holding his own children—the satisfaction and happiness nearly overwhelmed him.
“These two kids are really beautiful!” Chang Miao said with some jealousy as she leaned closer. The children looked nothing like typical newborns; they were chubby and fair-skinned like jade dolls and perfectly inherited traits from both Hanno and Elder Brother Li—utterly adorable and incomparable to her own little monkey.
“Indeed, they look even better than Daba and Bao,” Li Zhoule nodded in agreement. To welcome her nephews' birth, she had traveled from Da Zhou to modern times with Li Yishu just yesterday. Daba and Bao were names given by Elder Brother Li for her two sons; their full names would be decided by their father Wen Zixia when they turned three.
The children were so stunning that adults fought over who could hold them next. Elder Brother Li only held them briefly right after they were born; afterward, he didn’t get another chance. But he didn’t mind at all—having others help care for them was great! This way, he could stay by Hanno’s side without worry.
“Thank you for your hard work,” Elder Brother Li said gratefully as he held Hanno's hand. Others might think their children looked good due to excellent nutrition, but only they knew how special these kids truly were. Hanno had been nourishing them with Spiritual Energy and celestial aura throughout her pregnancy, laying a solid foundation so that both children were born with Foundation Establishment Period cultivation levels. However, she nearly fell from True Immortal Realm due to excessive energy consumption; fortunately, with the Peach of Immortality on hand, she managed to recover her lost cultivation without falling in rank.
Lying on the hospital bed, Hanno looked weak but was merely putting on an act for others. She smiled and said, “It wasn’t hard at all. I had planned all along to give birth to both my son and daughter at once so that we could complete one ‘good’ character together; I won’t have any more children after this.”
“Right, no more children,” Elder Brother Li nodded vigorously, not wanting Hanno to endure childbirth again. In truth, even if they wanted more children now that they had become immortals, it would be infinitely harder than when they were cultivators; pregnancy was already a thousand times more difficult than for ordinary people.
Hanno smiled and asked, "Where are the two kids?"
Elder Brother Li chuckled, "They've been taken over by our parents and Zhou Le. I can't even hold them."
Hanno inquired, "Have you thought of names for the children?"
Elder Brother Li replied, "Aren't they supposed to be named by Dad?"
Hanno said, "Are you really willing to give up the right to name your son and daughter?"
Elder Brother Li laughed, "We're all family; there's no need to worry about that."
Hanno added, "I'm a bit thirsty; could you pour me a glass of water?"
"How about some fruit?" Elder Brother Li flipped his left hand, and a peach suddenly appeared in his palm.
Hanno responded, "We didn't bring back many Peaches of Immortality; we should save them for emergencies. Water is fine for me."
Without hesitation, Elder Brother Li peeled the peach and sliced it, feeding a piece to Hanno. "I know what I'm doing; I've saved one for later. You’ve exerted yourself too much; you need to replenish."
With the peach slices ready, Hanno didn't hold back and slowly chewed while asking, "Did they eat the peaches we left for Zhou Le and the others?"
Elder Brother Li nodded. "They're ordinary people; I didn't dare give them too much. Each got a piece the size of a fingertip."
He then laughed, "That night, they were all stuck on the toilet and couldn't get up. But the next day, they were all in great spirits. Li Yishu and Ziyu even improved their inner strength quite a bit because of it."
Hanno chuckled in response, "The things from the immortals really aren't that tasty!"
Hanno returned home just three days after giving birth. If it weren't for fearing it would be too shocking, she would have wanted to go home right after delivering. Zhou Le specifically came to host the Three Washing Ceremony for the two children. Modern people don't place much importance on this ceremony, but it was highly valued in ancient times. Zhou Le took on the role of the grandmother for the Three Washing Ceremony, and Chang Miao, Yang Yun, and others attended as well. Even Jia Qianjun heard about the children's birth and came over with gifts. He didn't come alone; he brought a girl with him.
"This is Long Wenwen," Jia Qianjun said as he touched his nose and introduced the girl to Hanno and Elder Brother Li.
"Hello, seniors." Long Wenwen greeted the two with great respect.
The two quickly waved her off, joking that with Jia Qianjun's demeanor, this girl would surely be his other half, and they couldn't accept such a grand gesture from her.
"You are Jia Qianjun's friend; just call us by our names," Hanno said, pulling Long Wenwen up with a smile.
Long Wenwen's face immediately turned red.
Elder Brother Li leaned in to ask Jia Qianjun softly, "Are you sure about this girl?"
Jia Qianjun smiled slightly, his words carrying double meanings: "She and I are quite compatible."
Raising children was a troublesome yet joyful affair, and Hanno often found himself happily overwhelmed. Their daughter had been targeted by the "Wolf Grandmother" right after her birth; several women who had given birth to sons wanted their daughters to become future daughters-in-law. Except for Zhou Le, who had given up on the idea of becoming relatives with Hanno after learning that children born from cousin marriages were often unhealthy. Instead, she set her sights on Geng Shi'an's daughter. Qi Xueru and Mo Yan, the Princess also had children; Mo Yan had a son while Qi Xueru had a daughter. Qi Xueru felt quite down about it, thinking she was letting the Geng family down. It was Geng Shi'an who comforted her, reminding her that flowers bloom before fruit appears. Slowly, Qi Xueru began to feel better and recovered her spirits.
When the children turned one month old, their names were finally decided. Elder Brother Li's siblings' names were derived from the Book of Songs in the Four Books and Five Classics. Following this idea, Han Dad extracted two chapter titles from The Book of Rites to name the twins: Li Shaoyi and Li Yuzhao.
After the month celebration, Hanno took the two children back to Da Zhou, where the air was good for their health. Han Dad and Mom Han were reluctant to part with their grandchildren and accompanied them to Da Zhou. However, by nightfall, the elderly couple still needed to return to modern times; they had grown accustomed to modern conveniences like electricity and running water. Lighting candles in ancient times was truly uncomfortable for them, especially when it came to using the restroom. Even though Hanno and Elder Brother Li had made the Li family's toilet impeccably clean and had servants clean it twice daily, nothing could compare to modern flush toilets.
In the leisurely life of raising children, time passed quickly. The post-production of Slay the Dragon Vein was complete and ready for nationwide release—after all, there wasn't much complexity in post-production for this film; special effects weren't really necessary. Hanno held tickets in hand and decided to take Li Yishu and Wen Zixue along with him to enjoy the movie. They were busy studying at the academy and also practiced martial arts during their free time; it was tough work, so Hanno wanted them to relax a bit.
The three children were thrilled and excitedly prepared themselves before heading out with Hanno. Although they didn't walk on a red carpet, their entrance into the cinema still caught the attention of some admirers. The three boys were more handsome than many stars, especially with their shiny black hair that drew gasps of admiration from onlookers who snapped pictures of them with their phones. Initially startled by this attention, the boys quickly regained their composure and waved at the crowd like stars on television, causing their fans to scream excitedly.
