Chapter 8 - Gift From A Mortal

"Ahem, what if the first one doesn't have spiritual roots?"

To be honest, it was thanks to Xia Changge's character that he was calm.

Otherwise, it would be a little bad; Lin Meishan's clothes are disheveled right now.

"If one doesn't work, then continue conceive another until you have a child with spiritual roots!"

Lin Meishan seems to have set the birth of a child with spiritual roots as...a goal.

Xia Changge shook his head when he heard this crazy idea.

It's not that he pities Lin Meishan's body after such a crazy birth.

But now he is poor and can't afford to support a few children.

It's easy to raise a child without spiritual roots; Xia Changge can raise a hundred or so.

But... decades later, would he send off a group of white-haired sons with a youthful appearance?

This will have a significant impact on Xiuxian's state of mind.

And if there is a spiritual root, how many can Xia Changge cultivate with his current assets?

He couldn't even support himself because he didn't want to fight outside; he didn't want to kill people and rob goods, so he could only rely on farming.

At least for the next few decades, Xia Changge doesn't plan to have children.

Because this is the early stage of Xia Changge's plan, the most important goal is to accumulate assets and lay a foundation.

This is also the reason why the vast majority of loose cultivators went to mundane places to establish a family, and finally, the family disappeared after only a hundred years.

It's useless to establish a family without any resources!

Therefore, Xia Changge told Lin Meishan this cruel reality while also subtly informing Zhang Miaoyi, who was listening to the side: "So what if the child has spiritual roots? I don't have enough resources to make them cultivate and, in the end, they will be no different from ordinary people."

Lin Meishan spoke weakly: "This...isn't there still an immortal master..."

From Lin Meishan's point of view now, an immortal master like Xia Changge must be a person, so isn't it easy to raise a child?

For the sake of his own image, Xia Changge did not say that he is now a poor man and that he is at the bottom of the world of cultivation, so he casually found an excuse for himself:

"I don't plan to have a child now, because my own practice has not yet met my expectations and, I don't want to be distracted too much. Accepting Li Yijiao as a disciple is also a way to repay my old friend. Moreover, Yijiao's talent is not bad, and it is within my appetite."

Because Lin Meishan was an outsider, Xia Changge didn't mention the third reason: Li Yijiao's mother worked too hard.

Lin Meishan was very discouraged because she felt this was Xia Changge's excuse.

It must be a high-ranking immortal master like Xia Changge who looks down on an ordinary woman like herself.

"Immortal Master, give me a chance. My... my relatives all say that I... I am very good at giving birth, and I will definitely give birth to a perfect offspring for you, Immortal Master."

This time, Lin Meishan completely abandoned her dignity.

Xia Changge sighed: "You'd better go back and calm down!"

Lin Meishan was almost desperate, and she spoke in a trembling voice: "Then...then I don't want a child. Can I stay by your side and serve you?"

Xia Changge was silent for a while.

His indecisive character made him feel helpless when encountering such a thing.

In fact, in Xia Changge's heart, he really didn't want to have too many intimate relationships with ordinary people.

A woman like Zhang Miaoyi, who has no spiritual roots, is already troublesome for Xia Changge.

If there is another one, Xia Changge feels that the future will not be easy.

But because Lin Meishan and Xia Changge have no conflict, and there are treasures as presents, Xia Changge does not speak harshly.

"Immoral Master, the treasure you need is hidden in my house. It was picked up by my grandfather when he was hunting in the mountains. It has been well preserved. Would you like to go and see it with me, Immoral Master?"

Lin Meishan probably understood what Xia Changge meant, but she was more or less desperate.

However, she did not forget her second purpose for coming today: to dedicate the treasures in her family to Xia Changge.

Xia Changge said in a deep voice: "You never thought of giving the treasure to Daoist Zhao? Maybe...he can make your wish come true?"

Lin Meishan shook her head: "I can feel Immortal Master Zhao disdain us for being ordinary people, but you, Immortal Master Xia are much more approachable, and you didn't disdain us just because we are ordinary people, that's why I wanted to come to you. "

Lin Meishan can see clearly what kind of person Xia Changge is now.

She knew that Xia Changge also looked down on a woman like herself who had no spiritual roots.

But Xia Changge was willing to spend time with her and made an excuse to comfort her.

Lin Meishan also chose to believe in Xia Changge's "deception" to herself; at least she could deceive herself.

Zhao Junjie didn't even give her a chance to deceive herself.

Thinking that Zhao Junjie would ask these people to kneel and worship him when they met was indeed a bit too overbearing.

Maybe it's because he spent half his life in the palace with low status, so when he finally came to a place like Mo city, he didn't waste the opportunity to pretend to be an important person?

Xia Changge is actually not much better than Zhao Junjie; he can only be regarded as 50 steps laughs at 100 steps (to accuse someone of what you're guilty of yourself)

However, it was because of this that Xia Changge got the...opportunity that Zhao Junjie couldn't.

"Well, then I'll trouble Miss Lin."

Whether the treasure is valuable or not, Xia Changge has to thank Lin Meishan for her kindness.

Lin Meishan led the team, while Xia Changge followed behind.

Suddenly, Lin Meishan turned her head and looked at Xia Changge expectantly: "Master Xia...I... Can I experience the feeling of flying in the sky? This is my greatest wish in this life."

Xia Changge didn't lose his temper because of Lin Meishan's slightly annoying requests, and he responded with a smile: "Yes, but I don't want to make too much publicity in Mo City...I can take you outside the city for a walk tonight."

"Thank you, Master Immortal."

After Xia Changge agreed, Lin Meishan was extremely excited.

Xia Changge followed her to Lin Meishan's home.

Lin Meishan is relatively well off among the mortals.

She is not an orphan, her parents are still alive, and her grandparents are also there.

There are also several brothers and sisters, making it a very lively family.

"Father, mother, brothers and sisters, come and meet the immortal master."

Lin Meishan's words made the family, who were still smiling and thinking that Xia Changge was Lin Meishan's partner, suddenly look serious, then they knelt down on the ground while trembling: "I have seen the Immortal Master. "

This made Xia Changge frown: "You let them get up, I am very disgusted with this kind of practice, please remember not to do this in the future."

Lin Meishan hurried forward to help her relatives up.

"Father, where is the treasure that grandpa picked up on the mountain, the immortal master needs it."

Lin Meishan came to her father, Lin Qingshan, and spoke to him in a low voice.

Lin Qingshan understood immediately and took Xia Changge to the utility room.
