Chapter 395: The Sister Gave Birth

Rongcheng First Hospital.

Outside the delivery room, Lin Lin Wanqiu, Lin Gang, Lin Lin Yuanwang, the maternal grandfather, and others, along with another similar family, all waited anxiously, pacing back and forth, frequently glancing toward the delivery room, their expressions filled with unease and worry.

"Zongyun, stop and rest for a while."

Lin Lin Wanqiu called out to a handsome middle-aged man, comforting him: "Xiao Yuan is a late-stage Qi Condensation cultivator; nothing will happen. Rest assured."

"Mom!"

The handsome middle-aged man forced himself to sit down.

Before long, he could not help but stand up again.

"Mom, could you possibly..."

He could not hold back: "Could you request that person to lend a hand? I know he does not like me, but Xiao Yuan is his own younger sister, and the child is his own nephew. He cannot simply ignore them, can he?"

Upon hearing these words, many of the male side's family members turned their gaze toward here.

In their eyes, there was quite a bit of resentment.

They had originally thought that marrying into an immortal sect's prodigy, specifically the Great Sun Sword Disciple who played a crucial role in seizing the Shi San Xiao Gao Jie within the immortal sect, would not necessarily make the family soar to great heights, but at the very least would bring about earth-shaking changes.

However, the reality was that no changes whatsoever had occurred.

In fact, until now, they had never truly seen this legendary figure; they had never seen him.

In the eyes of many, this was a sign of looking down on the in-laws and an unwillingness to associate.

"This..."

Lin Lin Wanqiu did not know what to say.

To speak frankly, this uncle-to-be, and his son, indeed had many discourteous aspects in this regard.

The maternal grandfather, grandmother, and a few others also felt somewhat embarrassed.

"The spiritual sense range of a Foundation Establishment cultivator is over one kilometer."

Lin Lin Yuanwang spoke up; no one dared to disregard the identity of the newly promoted Foundation Establishment cultivator: "Those with superior soul power have an even wider range. All of this should be under his observation. Rest assured, there will be no problems."

However, regarding the very obvious resentment of the male side's family, he made no explanation.

Nor was any explanation needed.

If it were not for the sake of this female cousin, there should have been no intersection between them at all.

"That is good then."

The handsome middle-aged man sighed with relief, yet felt somewhat dejected.

Marrying the sister of that immortal sect prodigy, although primarily due to love, had not prevented him from dreaming in his sleep of soaring into the sky, roaming the path of immortality, and eventually becoming a high-level cultivator.

The reality, however, was so cold and heartless.

Perhaps all high-level cultivators possess such a cold side; the customs and kinship concepts of mortals acquired after birth cannot bind them in any way.

"Wah! Wah!"

A sudden cry erupted, followed by a second one, merging into a continuous sound, waking everyone up; the slightly dim atmosphere was instantly swept away.

"It's born!"

Lin Lin Wanqiu, the uncle, the aunt, and others wore faces full of joy.

"Our great-grandson!"

Lin Gang, the old gentleman who was now one hundred and ten years old, leaned on his cane, holding his wife's hand; tears streamed down his face involuntarily, and in a trance, he saw reincarnation and new life intertwining before his eyes.

"It is a set of twins, a boy and a girl."

Moments later, a nurse walked out holding two infants, looking at the family members: "According to the immortal sect regulations, all citizens must, within twenty-four hours of birth, have their bones and sinews refined by a native martial artist using a thirty-year-old great medicine, and within three days, have their meridians refined by a Qi Condensation cultivator using Essence-Nourishing Spirit Liquid. This is the welfare benefit every citizen possesses."

"May I ask if you wish to accept the basic welfare of the immortal sect, or, under the supervision of hospital professionals, hire more specialized cultivators to refine the bones and sinews and refine the meridians to a higher standard?"

The nurse looked at the handsome middle-aged man, the father.

Among the nurses, gossip travels very fast; they had long known the identity of the person inside, that she was that person's sister, hence this question.

"This..."

The handsome middle-aged man looked toward the relatives on his mother's side.

"We choose the second option."

Lin Lin Yuanwang took over the conversation, looking at an elderly woman in a white coat with kind eyebrows and a benevolent face who had appeared outside the delivery room at some point, and respectfully said: "Senior, thank you for lending a hand."

"Senior Nong!"

The surrounding nurses were greatly shocked and immediately respectfully bowed.

This was Nong Jing, a Jin Dan late-stage cultivator and a highly respected authority in the medical field of Senior Qian Province!

"I am merely fulfilling a request; 'thank you' is unnecessary."

The elderly woman in the white coat shook her head.

She murmured incantations, formed a magical seal, and a circle of green light full of the breath of life washed outward, disinfecting and sterilizing; she then cast several detection spells to ensure the environment here fully met surgical standards.

"How is it? Is it qualified?"

Nong Jing looked at a doctor who had hurriedly arrived and asked with a smile.

"Grandmaster, you are joking."

This Qi Condensation late-stage doctor let out a bitter smile.

Bound by duty, he still cast various spells to confirm, and connected with the hospital's Array Spirit to verify this Jin Dan cultivator's identity and medical qualifications.

There were no problems whatsoever.

"Grandmaster, you may proceed."

The doctor stepped aside and stood respectfully.

"Excellent. You have not forgotten the regulations; this is the bottom line for us doctors."

Nong Jing offered a word of praise, gently placed her hand on the foreheads of the two boy-and-girl twins, and poured her spiritual sense and magic power into them, quickly completing the examination.

"No spiritual root, and martial arts aptitude is average."

This was said to the family members around.

"This junior understands."

The handsome middle-aged man felt some disappointment in his heart, yet he had expected it all along.

Since neither parent has a spiritual root, they can only bet on a one-in-a-hundred-thousand chance; having none is normal.

"I will use rare spiritual herbs to refine their bodies and meridians. Their martial arts aptitude will reach the peak tier, second only to the Martial Saint Body. Their future martial path will be much smoother, but if their comprehension is insufficient, their future Dao path will still be extremely arduous, far inferior to those with excellent spiritual roots."

Nong Jing said this obscurely.

She had a habit: before providing service, she would retrieve the client's data, read it carefully, and strive to do better.

As far as she knew, aside from that person's god-defying comprehension, everyone else in this family was ordinary.

For martial artists, the only hope to turn their fate around is the "Fledgling Eagle Ascension Art." This Gong Fa requires immense comprehension; martial arts aptitude is merely auxiliary.

"I understand."

The handsome middle-aged man's heart trembled.

Not long after, the refining of bones, muscles, and meridians was completed, and this Jin Dan cultivator departed gracefully.

"Go take a look at Little Yuan."

Lin Lin Wanqiu said softly.

Everyone carefully entered the delivery room. A woman with a pale face lay on the bed, looking at the child in Lin Lin Wanqiu's arms and her husband's arms, feeling boundless satisfaction rise in her heart.

Even though she had delayed her cultivation for several years for them, she held no regret whatsoever.

"Has... Brother not come?"

Jiang Yuan struggled to sit up and asked.

Just now, she had also heard what that senior said and urgently wanted to do something for her newly born infant to make their future life path smoother.

Silence fell around them.

Lin Lin Yuanwang and others exchanged glances, feeling reluctant and unsure what to say.

"Brother might have other matters," Lin Lin Wanqiu comforted her. "As long as the baby grows up safely, that is enough. Do not think too much."

"Is that so?"

Jiang Yuan's spirits sank.

Unwilling to accept it, she kept looking toward the delivery room door, waiting for something.

Until night fell,

no one appeared again, and the newborn's first day passed peacefully and safely.
