Xu Rui patted Baozhu's head, his gesture conveying tenderness and comfort.
"Then hurry up and break through to the Nascent Soul stage. After you break through, I'll take you to other places to play. You don't need to worry about these kids, so you can go treasure hunting everywhere. Anyway, the cultivation world is so big that even if you travel for hundreds of years, you might not be able to see all the places. As long as you're willing, I'll accompany you everywhere."
Xu Rui was worried that his wife was just trying to comfort him. After all, no mother doesn't love her child. Now that she doesn't have to take care of the child, she must feel very lost. So, he decided to let her go on a treasure hunt, which he found interesting, to distract her and keep her from feeling sad.
"Really? Then it's a deal! I'll go break through now, and then you'll take me everywhere, preferably all over the cultivation world."
Tang Baozhu saw that Xu Rui was trying to cheer her up, and knew that he was just as upset as she was. She quickly composed herself, gave him a smile, and pretended to be very interested.
"Don't worry, I will definitely keep my promise."
Seeing that his wife had shifted her attention, Xu Rui felt a little better.
"Alright, I'll go to my room to cultivate. You can change rooms. I don't know when I'll break through, so you won't have to worry about disturbing me. Oh, and don't forget to check on the children."
Don't worry.
Tang Baozhu entered the bedroom where the two of them slept, closed the door, and then activated the special formation inside the room.
Tears began to flow uncontrollably. How could she not be sad? She was just worried that their conversation might be being monitored, lest she accidentally say something wrong and make others think she was dissatisfied with them.
For the sake of the children's future, and to ensure they would be in danger, the elders could only try their best to say nice things.
After calming down, Tang Baozhu decided to work hard at her cultivation. Since her current cultivation level was too low, she would work harder to improve.
He took out a futon, sat cross-legged on it, and began to circulate his energy. He could then feel the spiritual energy outside rushing into the room.
Tang Baozhu guessed correctly. The other elders had indeed seen what the two were saying. After all, they were too close. For those of their cultivation level, it was as if the two were talking right next to their ears. There was no secret between them at all.
The elders were very satisfied with the attitude of the two. Although Xu Rui, as the most talented disciple in the sect in a thousand years, had a certain say, he had little say when facing the elders who were rogue immortals and Mahayana cultivators.
The cultivation world is a typical example of believing in the supremacy of strength. If one's cultivation level is low now, then one can only compromise. But once one's cultivation level is high, one can slowly settle scores with the other party.
While Tang Baozhu was cultivating, she originally thought she would hit a bottleneck, but some of the radiant light absorbed by her body was still hidden in various acupoints. When the cultivation technique was activated, it directly absorbed that radiant light.
Breaking through the bottleneck was particularly easy. Tang Baozhu knew that the glowing light was definitely a good thing. It was a bit of a pity that she didn't put it in a separate bottle, but instead let others absorb a lot of it.
It feels like I'm doing someone else's dowry.
He calmed his mind and immersed himself in the breakthrough.
When Tang Baozhu discovered a crack in the golden core within her dantian, she knew she was close to success.
The crack grew larger and larger, and soon the golden core split open, revealing a miniature version of the Tang Baozhu inside.
It's incredibly tiny and cute, about the size of a thumb, and it's making all sorts of adorable little gestures.
Tang Baozhu was momentarily confused. Could she really do these little actions? She probably couldn't, but she had to admit that the little Nascent Soul was incredibly cute doing them.
After a while, the little nascent soul inside the dantian obediently sat cross-legged inside the dantian. Her posture was exactly the same as Tang Baozhu's, both sitting cross-legged in meditation.
Tang Baozhu knew that she should consolidate her cultivation next until it stabilized at the Nascent Soul stage before stopping.
As for body sculpting to change her appearance, Tang Baozhu didn't do it. She was actually quite satisfied with her current appearance and didn't want to change anything at all.
My husband is probably used to it by now, and if we change it, neither of us will feel comfortable. It's fine as it is.
While Tang Baozhu was breaking through her cultivation level inside the house, Xu Rui did not leave; he waited in the living room by the door of the room.
Although he knew that his wife's breakthrough was definitely not dangerous, he still felt a little uneasy. He couldn't calm down until he saw his wife come out of the house safely.
Therefore, he routinely visited the children three times a day to check on them, making sure they were well taken care of, which put his mind at ease. Then, he would focus on his wife who was making breakthroughs.
Xu Rui waited for half a month before he heard any movement inside. He quickly opened the door and went in, just as Tang Baozhu was about to come out. The two bumped into each other.
Xu Rui scooped up his wife, spun her around, and then the two of them collapsed onto the bed.
"Honey, get up quickly. There aren't just the two of us in this valley. There are many other people here. It wouldn't be good if they saw us."
Seeing his expression, Tang Baozhu thought he was about to do something and quickly stopped him.
Xu Rui didn't actually intend to do anything, but seeing his wife's exaggerated reaction, he suddenly felt like scaring her.
Seeing how afraid she was of being discovered by the elders, it dawned on them that there were more than just the two adults and five children in this small valley—seven living people in total.
He quickly let go of his wife, straightened his clothes, and sat directly on the edge of the bed, looking completely serious, as if he wasn't the one who had just been excited.
"Was this breakthrough safe?"
"No, don't worry, this breakthrough was incredibly easy. By the way, have you been checking on our kids these past few days? How are they doing?"
Actually, Tang Baozhu wanted to ask if those children had looked for their mother.
I just thought that I hadn't spent much time with the children and they might not even remember me, so I figured it wouldn't matter whether I asked or not.
Xu Rui immediately saw through his wife's thoughts and comforted her, saying, "Don't worry, the children are doing well. They've gained several pounds since they were born."
