Chapter 170

Even if the realm currently deduced couldn't truly achieve longevity, significantly extending life was already feasible.

These people who cultivated the Dao couldn't help but be moved.

"Eh?"

Zuo Ci heard this and was stunned at first; he didn't expect his lord to have already set his sights on these friends of his.

But he felt this was also a good thing.

He immediately bowed and said: "My lord, I can't guarantee this yet, but I will try my best to persuade them!"

"However, I damaged a lot of my origin when I cultivated the Pre-Qin Qi Refining Method in the past, and I still need to cultivate for a period of time to restore my origin and strength before I can set off; I hope my lord will grant my request."

Without sufficient strength, he didn't want to see Nanhua and the others.

What if he was beaten or tricked?

Only with sufficient strength could he stand tall.

By then, even if they didn't agree, he wouldn't worry about them having designs on him.

Of course, this could also ensure that in the future, if they were really persuaded by him to join his lord's command, the matter of him tricking them out of their cultivation techniques and classics wouldn't lead to him being beaten up.

That's right! Even if Su Xuan asked him to recruit these people, Zuo Ci still hadn't given up on using his own cultivation techniques and the pills he had refined before to exchange for their cultivation techniques, classics, and even spiritual medicines and precious minerals.

He could completely exchange for them first, and then recruit them!

It wouldn't delay anything.

As for when they joined and didn't have cultivation techniques, classics, or spiritual medicines to exchange for enough merit points to exchange for the divine secret arts in the Merit Pavilion?

What did that have to do with Zuo Zuo Yuanfang?

If they didn't have merit points, they could just borrow from their lord to exchange for alchemy techniques and work for their lord to refine pills to pay off their debts and earn merit points!

Anyway, he had taken the benefits, and he had to complete his lord's task with all his heart.

Zuo Ci believed that even if he did this, his lord wouldn't blame him, and would very likely be happy to see it happen.

He wasn't stupid; didn't his lord let him learn alchemy for free just to have more alchemist workers under his command?

It wouldn't do for him to be the only worker.

He had to pull those friends of his into the water together!

Share the blessings and share the difficulties!

Zuo Ci felt that those friends of his were blessed.

"Okay! You cultivate and recover first; it's not too urgent!"

Su Xuan immediately nodded and agreed.

"Thank you, my lord!"

In a flash, more than 3 months passed,

"Ugh!!!"

When she got up for morning exercise this day, Xun Cai suddenly retched.

It was immediately sensed by Su Xuan, who was cultivating not far away.

Su Xuan immediately flashed over nervously and asked with concern: "Cai'er, what's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Let me take a look for you!"

"Hmm!"

Xun Cai nodded obediently and stretched out her hand.

Su Xuan immediately grabbed one of Xun Cai's hands gently and began to take her pulse.

After a few breaths, he looked up at Xun Cai with a pleasant surprise and said: "Cai'er, it's a pregnancy pulse; you are pregnant! I'm going to be a father!"

"Eh?"

Xun Cai heard this and was stunned at first; she obviously hadn't reacted yet.

But the next moment, a brilliant smile bloomed on her face, and she said with pleasant surprise: "Really? Husband! Am I really pregnant?"

Heaven knew how long she had been waiting for this day?

Ever since she married Su Xuan, she had been hoping to get pregnant early.

But Su Xuan had refused for more than a year, nearly 2 years, on the grounds that she was still too young and her body hadn't fully developed yet.

This caused her to be nagged by her father quite a bit.

Fortunately, after Su Xuan explained it to everyone, everyone temporarily gave up.

But they were all still eagerly waiting for Su Xuan and Xun Cai to have children early.

It wasn't until recently when she truly came of age that Su Xuan finally agreed to Xun Cai's request to have children.

He didn't expect that after only a month, she would really succeed in getting pregnant.

How could she not be happy?

"Haha! It absolutely can't be wrong!"

Su Xuan laughed heartily, carefully held Xun Cai and spun her around, then carefully put her down, and said excitedly: "I'm going to be a father! Haha!"

Seeing Su Xuan so happy, Xun Cai also felt beautiful in her heart.

Although Su Xuan had been wary of her age being too young and her body not fully grown, and hadn't wanted children before.

But Xun Cai was still a bit worried.

Now, she finally didn't have to worry anymore.

"Eh? Sister Cai'er is pregnant? Really?"

At this time, Zou Zou Qian, Zhen Jiang, Bian Yu'er, and Cai Lord Yuan, who were also cultivating not far away, heard this and all ran over with pleasant surprise.

"Really! Hehe!"

Su Xuan nodded with a smile.

"That's great!"

Zou Zou Qian and the others heard this and also felt happy for Xun Cai.

They stepped forward one after another to congratulate Xun Cai, and at the same time asked Xun Cai what it felt like to be pregnant.

It had only been about a month; how could Xun Cai have any feeling?

"Sister Cai'er is pregnant; I don't know if it's a boy or a girl? It's best if it's a boy, so that we can also have children!"

Cai Lord Yuan muttered with some anticipation at this time.

There was no other way; Su Xuan didn't want his backyard to catch fire, and he didn't want fighting to appear in his family because of inheritance issues in the future.

Therefore, he had long made it clear to them that they had to let Xun Cai give birth to the eldest legitimate son first before letting them get pregnant.

Anyway, they would most likely be able to achieve longevity in the future, so Zou Zou Qian and the others didn't have any objections.

Although they loved Su Xuan to death, couldn't leave him, and didn't want to leave him at all?

"That's right! Hee hee! Sister Cai'er, you have to be promising!"

"That's right! That's right! I'm also waiting to be a mother early! My family nags me from time to time!"

Zhen Jiang and the others also teased one after another.

Although Xun Cai knew everyone was just teasing, she was under great pressure for a moment.

She couldn't help but look at Su Xuan and say: "Husband! Or else..."

"Don't say it!"

Su Xuan raised his hand directly to interrupt her: "This matter has already been decided! It cannot be changed!"

"I'm doing this for the sake of our family's future!"

"You have all been married to me for several years; you should also be clear about the current form of the Great Han, as well as my future plans and the height I might reach;"

"If there are no accidents, the highest position in the future will also be ours!"

"Therefore, it's better not to have problems with the eldest legitimate son, so as not to have a headache later!"

"Furthermore, actually, with the improvement of cultivation, you should all have felt that you are becoming younger and younger, and your lifespan will also be greatly extended;"

"It's no big deal to have children a few years late!"

"Perhaps, when the children are older in the future, and you even have grandchildren and great-grandchildren, you will still be young; you will regret having children too early instead!"

On this point, Su Xuan was still very confident.

"No way?"

Xun Cai and the others heard this and all widened their eyes in disbelief.

"Nothing is impossible!"
