Liu Sect Master's Dao heart was in turmoil again!
Liu Qinghui held onto the children, unwilling to let go, while using his Divine Sense to envelop all of them. He was already a bit overwhelmed by Guan Zilan's repeated provocations.
Four Heaven Spirit Roots, one Azure Marrow Frost Body.
Thousands of years! The Taiqing Sect had never had such an abundance of celestial seedlings!
Liu Qinghui was stunned in place, looking at the five children, unable to speak for a long while.
A faint smile appeared on Guan Zilan's lips; it was the first time she had seen her senior brother so out of sorts.
"Junior Sister, where on earth did you find so many exceptionally gifted celestial seedlings?" After a long pause, Liu Qinghui finally came to his senses, his eyes shining as he asked.
Guan Zilan smiled lightly, "Senior Brother, all these children come from one person."
"Who?" Liu Qinghui asked hesitantly.
Guan Zilan briefly explained the situation of the three families.
"A live-in son-in-law of a Cultivation Family!"
A live-in son-in-law?!
Liu Qinghui was momentarily bewildered.
It was hard to associate these five supreme celestial seedlings with a live-in son-in-law.
At this moment, Guan Zilan gestured, and Qin Changqing stepped forward, cupping his hands, "Greetings, Sect Master!"
He was also secretly observing the celestial and Dao-like Sect Master of the Taiqing Sect before him, noticing that he lacked Elder Guan's sharp aura, instead exuding a gentle and mysterious Dao Pattern.
"Him?!" Liu Qinghui looked at Qin Changqing suspiciously, a mere Qi Refining Realm level two, connected to these children?
Guan Zilan stopped being mysterious and slowly explained, "His name is Qin Changqing, and he is the father of all five children. Qin Changqing has a special constitution that allows him to store Spiritual Qi in his kidneys. When he combines with a woman, he can give birth to various qualities of Spirit Roots..."
She then recounted Qin Changqing's special ability.
Liu Qinghui's eyes flashed rapidly, his Divine Sense scanning Qin Changqing back and forth, as if wanting to see through him completely.
But no matter how he looked, this guy was just an ordinary Qi Refining Realm level two cultivator, and with a low-grade ordinary Spirit Root at that.
"Such a miraculous constitution exists in this world! It's unimaginable...!"
However, the facts were before him, and he couldn't help but believe it, clicking his tongue in wonder while feeling extremely excited inside.
"This constitution! It's incredible!"
If what Guan Zilan said was true, then the Taiqing Sect would have an endless supply of high-quality celestial seedlings in the future. Cultivating these prodigies, the future Taiqing Sect would not be limited to the Jing Kingdom alone; becoming the number one sect in the entire cultivation world would be just around the corner!
Thinking of this, Liu Qinghui's face was radiant.
With Qin Changqing, the Taiqing Sect would no longer have to worry about recruiting disciples, nor compete with the other nine major sects for disciples.
Those high-grade Spirit Roots, supreme-grade Spirit Roots, let them have them... no competition, not interested!
Of course, this was just a thought; on the surface, they couldn't act this way. They still needed to recruit disciples, or it would arouse suspicion from other sects. If they found out about this treasure, they might unite to seize it, and even as the number one sect in the Jing Kingdom, they couldn't withstand that.
Better to wait until these celestial seedlings have all grown up!
Thinking of this, Liu Qinghui smiled and said, "Junior Sister has rendered great service to the sect, and I will remember it. You should take Daoist Friend Changqing and the other children to the inner hall first. These five children will stay with me for now. This matter is of great importance, and I need to discuss the specific details with the elders."
"Yes!" Guan Zilan led Qin Changqing and the others away, while Liu Qinghui sent out a series of Spirit Talismans from the main hall.
Soon, the elders who received the Sect Master's order arrived at the main hall, all with puzzled expressions, secretly communicating via Sound Transmission.
"Why is the Sect Master calling us so urgently?"
"Unless it's something major, the Sect Master wouldn't call all of us over. Could it be that a great enemy is attacking? But there's no sign of that?"
"We are the number one sect in the Jing Kingdom; who would dare attack the Taiqing Sect?"
"What's with those children? Could they be treasures the Sect Master found somewhere?"
Everyone was discussing.
Seeing everyone had arrived, Liu Qinghui waved his sleeve, and the hall doors closed with a boom. Immediately, the surroundings lit up with spiritual light, and a Barrier was activated in the main hall!
Everyone gasped, their hearts pounding.
What on earth was the Sect Master up to?
"Could something serious have really happened, for it to be so secretive?"
Had it become that severe?
Some were already suspecting that the sect was truly facing a crisis.
"Sect Master Brother, what is the meaning of this?" a middle-aged elder in a black robe couldn't help but ask.
Liu Qinghui chuckled softly, "There's no need to be nervous, everyone. What I'm about to say is too important, and this is just a small precaution."
A small precaution?
Everyone looked at each other, their expressions twitching slightly.
Such solemnity made it hard not to believe something major had happened.
"What could be so important that the Sect Master is being so cautious?" someone asked curiously.
Liu Qinghui smiled lightly, "Everyone, why not first take a look at the qualifications of these children?"
The crowd was puzzled by the Sect Master's confusing behavior today, but they still sent out their Divine Sense to envelop the five children for investigation.
Immediately, the elders' expressions became extremely colorful, their mouths agape in exclamation, "Heaven... Heaven Spirit Root!"
"This one is also a Heaven Spirit Root!"
"You must have checked the same child as me; he's also a Heaven Spirit Root!"
"No, I've already checked four... all Heaven Spirit Roots!"
"This infant... Dao Ancestor above, Azure Marrow Frost Body! It's the Azure Marrow Frost Body!"
When the elders withdrew their Divine Sense, they were so shocked that their mouths remained open for a long time.
"Sect Master Brother, where did you find so many top-tier celestial seedlings?"
Someone couldn't wait to ask, and others chimed in, their eyes burning with excitement, already pondering how to snatch a few more disciples.
Liu Qinghui was satisfied with the reactions of those present, thinking about his own performance just now... well, much better!
"Previously, Junior Sister Guan went down the mountain to find disciples returning home to visit family, but discovered an earth-shattering secret..."
Liu Qinghui then recounted Qin Changqing's story.
Everyone present was full of disbelief, "Such a special constitution exists in the world?"
"Really? I don't believe it!"
"You don't believe it? Then how do you explain these children? Do you really think Heaven Spirit Roots are like Chinese cabbage, found just anywhere?"
"Believe it or not, I believe it!"
Though the story sounded incredible, faced with the facts and the Sect Master's solemn demeanor, they believed it about seventy to eighty percent.
"Junior Sister Guan, bring Daoist Friend Changqing out!" Liu Qinghui said loudly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Guan Zilan brought Qin Changqing out from the inner hall.
"Greetings, Sect Master, greetings, elders!" Qin Changqing cupped his hands.
His gaze swept over everyone present, his heart pounding.
These were the absolute core high-level members of the Taiqing Sect, all Elemental Infant Realm big shots, and the pressure gathered together was suffocating.
As a mere Qi Refining Realm level two, facing these excited big shots, he felt as insignificant as an ant.
