Chapter 176 Li Jinrong Is Pregnant
Xiao Hongling belongs to the type of woman who is quite heroic and spirited, rare in her frailty and submission, but full of feminine grace, creating a strong contrast.
Chu Shen was quite intrigued, just as he was teasing her and making her blush, when suddenly he had a puzzled look on his face, staring at the floor outside the pond.
"My husband, what's wrong?" Xiao Hongling was already prepared, but she saw Chu Shen stop his actions, feeling a bit uncertain, blushing and timidly asking.
Chu Shen sighed and tapped the floor with his hand. "Hey, do you really like secretly peeking at strange things like this?"
The other playful concubines noticed the unusual situation and looked over. Then they exclaimed, "Oh my!" and hurriedly hid in the pond, frightened.
Only a beautiful female head, with innocence in her eyes, slowly appeared on the floor. The scene was truly a bit unsettling.
"Bring Yu!"
"Why does '713' always pull this trick?"
"Oh no, I'm going to have nightmares again. I was almost scared to death by you."
This is the biggest unstable factor living in the Jade Palace. Although these female spirits cannot leave the palace, they can freely appear inside.
Although the Tree Granny has repeatedly reminded them not to disturb the Chu family's normal life, the effect... well, it exists, but it's not comprehensive. There are still times when it fails.
The female spirit named Daiyu is an old acquaintance of Chu Shen. She still remembers the time when he slapped her and sent her flying, causing a splash on the ground. "I didn't sneak in secretly. I came here openly. Just letting you know, there's someone visiting outside the door again."
Chu Shen covers his face and says, "Can you not come up with such casual excuses? And you say you didn't come here to play tricks on me intentionally? If someone comes to visit, there are gatekeepers at the outer residence. What do they need you for?"
But as the saying goes, since she's already here.
"Who is it that's coming?"
Daiyu hums and extends a small hand from the ground, rubbing two fingers together.
Chu Shen can't help but laugh and cry. He doesn't know where she learned this from. Clearly, she came here to startle him with a prank, yet she still asks him for a tip.
"Alright, alright, just tell me quickly."
He stands up from the pool, picks up a storage bag placed on the nearby jade table, and takes out a pill, tossing it to Daiyu.
This is one of the new formulas he obtained after obtaining the advanced inheritance of an alchemist. It is an auxiliary pill for spiritual beings to cultivate the path of ghost immortals, called the Ghost Spirit Pill. It is also a good thing for the spirits in the Jade Palace.
However, the spirits in the Jade Palace are fundamentally different from ghosts. The Ghost Spirit Pill cannot help them cultivate, but it is a snack. It seems that some of the ingredients in it suit their taste and can produce a reaction similar to a cat's response to catnip.
This thing can be considered as a little gadget that Chu Shen uses to win the favor of the spirits. It's just that Daiyu is even more greedy and has found a unique way to "extort" him.
Good things should be enjoyed slowly. Carefully, Yu put the Ghost Spirit Pill into his bag and informed him, "It's your old sweetheart, that Princess, oh right, there's an abnormal spiritual reaction in her belly, she should be pregnant."
After saying that, with a swoosh, he disappeared into the floor, not knowing where he wandered off to.
Chu Shen was stunned for a moment, quickly dressed, and hurriedly went to meet Li Jinfan, leaving the concubines to continue playing.
If nothing unexpected happened, the Thirteenth Princess must have come this time for the sake of the child.
Sure enough, when she saw Li Jinrong, her first words were, "I'm pregnant!"
Chu Shen was not a physician, but as an alchemist, he had a lot of knowledge related to medicine, coupled with the wonderful use of spiritual power, he quickly confirmed that Li Jinrong was indeed pregnant. "Wow, this little one in your belly is extraordinary. Even before it's formed, it's already a spiritual seed!"
"Nonsense, don't you see how talented his mother is!" Li Jinrong shamelessly praised herself, then looked eager, "I didn't expect your Multi-Child and Multi-Fortune Pill to be really effective. After taking it a few times, I got pregnant. It's truly a treasure!"
After crossing the boundary between immortals and mortals, the difficulty for cultivators to have children becomes increasingly challenging as their cultivation level improves. In fact, for a Foundation Building stage female cultivator like Li Jinrong, the difficulty of getting pregnant is already much higher than that of ordinary mortal women, requiring interaction with a Great Emperor.
But with Chu Shen swallowing a Multi-Child and Multi-Fortune Pill, the problem was quickly solved, which shocked her.
Chu Shen could tell from her appearance that she had the idea of taking the Multi-Child and Multi-Fortune Pill. "So, do you have any ideas about the Multi-Child and Multi-Fortune Pill?"
Li Jinrong didn't blush, she didn't answer, but asked, "How effective is this pill for cultivators of different realms? Will the effect diminish as the user's cultivation level increases, or become ineffective because the user's cultivation level is too high?"
Chu Shen concealed the effects of the "Many Children, Many Blessings Pill" rewarded by the system, but revealed the effects of the pill he refined to her: "Of course, the effects of the pill are limited by the materials used in its production.
The higher the cultivation level of a practitioner, the higher their fundamental life essence. Some can even be reborn through blood, indicating that their life composition is significantly different from ordinary people. This includes changes in the sperm that can impregnate others, resulting in a reproductive isolation effect.
Many people in the cultivation world have researched this issue, attempting to solve the problem of higher cultivation levels making it more difficult to have offspring, and there have been quite a few achievements.
For example, certain cultivation techniques are specifically designed for this purpose. By practicing during the preparation for pregnancy, they can effectively reduce the spiritual concentration of the sperm or egg, thus facilitating better fusion with the target.
There are also certain ingredients, medicinal herbs, and pills that can achieve similar effects.
The "Many Children, Many Blessings Pill" that Chu Shen refined theoretically works in the same way as these methods, but naturally, it also has its own flaws.
The reason why the system-produced "Many Children, Many Blessings Pill" is absolutely effective is because it contains the power of the laws bestowed by the system!
If Chu Shen advances to the point of manipulating the laws in the future, he will naturally be able to incorporate this power into the pills he refines himself. But for now, he cannot do it.
This answer made Li Jinrong feel a little disappointed. "I see, then it's difficult. I was thinking that if the "Many Children, Many Blessings Pill" you developed is miraculous, I could give it as a gift to my father, the emperor, and it might directly solve the crisis of my arranged marriage.
In any dynasty, cultivating an heir is of utmost importance. The emperor may have three palaces, six courtyards, seventy-two concubines, and three thousand beauties, but it is not just about extravagance and debauchery; it has practical needs. A dynasty that lacks an heir is extremely dangerous.
The same goes for the various immortal sects.
Moreover, the scale of the harem in each immortal sect is even more exaggerated, but the output is equally low. The current emperor of the Great Tang Immortal Sect has more than forty formal concubines, and there are hundreds of concubines, maids, and others without titles. However, there are only about twenty surviving children."
