Naturally, it filled her with unparalleled joy. "Hehe, this is our joint effort." Lu Changsheng smiled. Then, curious, he asked, "Xi Yue, what transformation has your Dao Foundation undergone?" "My Dao Foundation is now known as the Lunar Primordial Spirit Foundation." "It allows me to absorb and refine nature’s spiritual energy at an increased rate." "And I can consume my Origin Source to transform nature’s spiritual energy into Lunar Mana for my own replenishment." Xiao Xiyue spoke out, describing the effects of her Dao Foundation’s transformation. "The increased rate of absorbing and refining nature’s spiritual energy, and the ability to consume the Origin Source to transform nature’s spiritual energy into Lunar Mana." Hearing this, Lu Changsheng nodded his head. He knew this effect sounded simple, but it was astonishing. The speed of absorbing and refining nature’s spiritual energy improved both Xiao Xiyue’s cultivation speed and recovery rate. And converting nature’s spiritual energy into Lunar Mana meant that in times of crisis, when Mana was low, she could replenish it quickly. After all, not all cultivators were like him, with a Profound Origin Bead at their side, free to use Mana as they pleased. Most cultivators had to consider their Mana consumption on a regular basis. Between two cultivators of the same rank, the one with deeper and more enduring Mana would have a greater advantage. "Not bad, it seems much more powerful than my Yin Yang Five Elements Foundation Base." Lu Changsheng said cheerfully. "How could it compare to Lu Lang?" Xiao Xiyue leaned her pretty head against Lu Changsheng’s chest and whispered softly. Indeed, after its transformation, her Dao Foundation produced remarkable effects. But to her, the effects of Lu Changsheng’s Dao Foundation, which could repair someone else’s Dao Foundation, were even more astonishing. "Xi Yue, what are your plans next?" Lu Changsheng inquired of Xiao Xiyue. From their previous conversation, he knew Xiao Xiyue had come down the mountain on an approved mission for external experience. She couldn’t stay out forever. Now that her Dao Foundation’s cracks were mended, she was likely preparing to return to the Sect. Xiao Xiyue was holding Lu Changsheng’s slender and jade-like palm, comparing the sizes of their hands. Upon hearing this, she lifted her pretty head and, with a pitiable look, said, "Is Lu Lang finding me bothersome, wanting to send me away?" "I never said that, I’d actually prefer you to stay by my side forever." Lu Changsheng said with a light chuckle, sniffing the fragrance from Xiao Xiyue’s hair. "Hmph." Xiao Xiyue let out a coquettish grunt, her fair cheeks blushing as she spoke softly, "Lu Lang, wouldn’t it be nice if Xi Yue bore you a child?" "What?" Lu Changsheng was taken aback, thinking he had heard wrong. But he immediately guessed Xiao Xiyue’s thoughts. Did she feel that she couldn’t repay the favor and wanted to have his child as compensation? "Xi Yue, there’s no need for that." Lu Changsheng frowned slightly. He did fancy the idea of having a few children with Xiao Xiyue. See what the children’s Spiritual Root Talent would be. But feelings develop over time. After so many years together, they had built quite a relationship. To bear children simply to repay a debt of gratitude, he was unwilling to do so. Moreover, a child and the child’s mother were things he could distinguish between. "It’s not about repaying Lu Lang’s favor with this," "I just genuinely want to have a child with Lu Lang." "That way, even if Xi Yue is gone in the future, this child can stay by Lu Lang’s side." Xiao Xiyue pursed her lips and spoke softly, sharing her thoughts. Back in Qingyun Market, Lu Changsheng had jokingly said if she felt bad, they should have a few children. After hearing that, the idea planted itself in her heart and started to grow. Gradually, she began to feel there was sense in what Lu Changsheng had said. Have a child to commemorate their relationship. If she were gone, the child would remain by Lu Changsheng’s side for companionship. As for concerns about leaving and the child lacking a mother, she had come to terms with it. Firstly, with Lu Changsheng around, the child would surely not be bullied. Additionally, it wasn’t as if she would sever all ties with Lu Changsheng and leave after giving birth. Only when preparing to attempt Core Formation would she need to truly penetrate the void of delusions and forget all attachments. She would still get to watch the child grow up. Furthermore, after all her experiences, she came to believe that forgetting all attachments didn’t necessarily mean completely abandoning love and affection. "Xi Yue, if you have a child won’t your master blame you?" Lu Changsheng voiced his concern. Having a child was an affair that wasn’t too problematic for female cultivators, though it still had significant impacts. Three months into pregnancy, cultivation would become nearly impossible. In the later stages, it would affect their Cultivation Level, leaving them in a weakened state. And after giving birth, they’d need to recover their vital energy for about a year or so. While the impact might seem negligible, for cultivators, the nature of this was different. After all, the prime age for giving birth is also the best age for cultivation. If they have several children, that time could be considered wasted. It would require much effort to make up for the lost time. And Lu Changsheng felt her master would blame her for a simple reason. The relationship between a master and disciple in this world was very intimate, like that of parents. Any parent seeing their child with a promising future suddenly have a baby might feel discontent. Especially within an Immortal Sect like Qingyun Sect. This was not just about having a child, but also about the disciple’s heart for cultivation and worldly attachments. "We’ll just keep it a secret from my master." Xiao Xiyue said, her eyes downcast and her voice slightly guilty. She didn’t dare let her master, Yun Wanshang, know about this matter. After all, she had previously sworn adamantly that she could break free from all ties with Lu Changsheng.
