After a moment's thought, Qi Zhiheng had some guesses. Could it be that Yang Yitian was being coquettish? Hmm, that's not impossible.
Yang Yitian was furious: "You're biased towards your son and not towards me!" He lowered his hand, revealing one of his closed eyes, above which hung a large black circle.
It was only then that I realized that Yang Yitian's actions just now were not actually an attempt to get attention by acting cute!
"Oh my god, how did you get beaten up like this?" Qi Zhiheng stepped forward, cupped his face, kissed him on the dark circles under his eyes to comfort him, and used his spiritual energy to massage them. The dark circles under his eyes were soon gone.
"How should I know? Ask your son!" Yang Yitian was also dumbfounded. He just wanted to kiss his son; he wasn't on guard at all! Who knew that such a small baby would have such strength!
"Alright, alright, it's alright now." Qi Zhiheng comforted Yang Yitian, and only after calming him down did he go to check on Sanbao's condition.
"How did Sanbao become so strong?" Qi Zhiheng stretched out his index finger and touched Sanbao's chubby little fist. Sanbao didn't react much. Instead, he giggled and showed a toothless smile, as if Qi Zhiheng was playing a game with him.
Yang Yitian wasn't fooled at all by the baby's angelic appearance! He reached out and poked the baby's little fist. The baby didn't react, but just kept giggling.
"Sanbao is so strong, should we separate him from Dabao and Erbao? It wouldn't be good if we accidentally beat Dabao and Erbao up." Yang Yitian thought to himself, he couldn't even handle it, let alone his two delicate sons.
"Isn't this a bad idea? Won't this cause discord between the brothers?" Qi Zhiheng felt that this was inappropriate. "Besides, Sanbao doesn't seem to have as much strength as before."
"Why don't you go over and test his strength? He won't pay attention to you if you use your hands, but try sticking your face out." Yang Yitian pushed Qi Zhiheng.
Qi Zhiheng was somewhat helpless, so he stretched out his head and kissed his third son's fair and tender face.
Sanbao giggled happily. Seeing that it wasn't working, Qi Zhiheng kissed him a couple more times. Sa Anbao, perhaps a little annoyed, punched Qi Zhiheng on the face with his little fist.
Qi Zhiheng felt a sharp pain, which he could bear, but the strength was something that an ordinary baby could not possess.
Qi Zhiheng moved his cheeks and said excitedly, "You're really strong."
"What should we do then?" Yang Yitian leaned closer to examine his face, but there were no marks. Qi Zhiheng had covered his face with spiritual energy when he leaned in.
Qi Zhiheng still felt it wasn't quite right, so he moved his face closer, wanting his third son to try it out on his face again.
Qi Zhiheng took another punch, but the force of the first punch wasn't as great. From this, we can infer that Sanbao's strength is limited, and the limit is probably three punches.
"Alright, everything should be fine now." Qi Zhiheng made the decision.
The matter of Sanbao has not caused any further ripples and should not cause any damage in the short term.
After entrusting the child to Qi Zhiheng for care, Yang Yitian took on several missions and then left the sect to complete them.
He went out alone, and people gossiped about him behind his back. The disciples of the Slaughtering God Sect were quite interested in who his husband was, and the fact that he went out alone made everyone speculate.
"Does he feel that his partner is not presentable, which is why he didn't come along? Last time, Qi Zhiheng also seemed to come alone."
"The two of them haven't even appeared together yet. How could they be like this if they were a couple? It can't be, right?"
Hearing their discussion, Yang Yitian felt that next time he went out, he should bring Qi Zhiheng along for a stroll!
Yang Yitian took on a year's worth of small tasks, each of which required a certain amount of time. By the time he finished all the tasks for the year, two months had already passed.
After returning to Panyun Peak and completing the mission, the three-month-old baby had grown even bigger.
Qi Zhiheng has been busy taking care of his child and refining pills lately, his schedule is packed. The main reason is that the child takes up too much of his time.
At this moment, the grand competition of the God Slaughtering Sect is about to begin again.
During the competition, many outer disciples may stand out and be noticed by the various peak masters or their disciples, and then be accepted as disciples.
There are also grand competitions for those at the Golden Core stage, but actually, a true alchemist doesn't need to participate in the competitions; they only need to compete in alchemy.
Qi Zhiheng also planned to take this opportunity to have some of his servants help with farming. Their house had been expanded, but there was still a lot of land that they hadn't cultivated. Qi Zhiheng's plan was to plant some medicinal herbs so as not to waste such good spiritual land.
The competition has categories for Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, and Golden Core stages.
Qi Zhiheng was too lazy to fight and expose his strength, so he went to refine pills.
Yang Yitian was too lazy to fight and went to draw talismans instead.
Those with some skills in their families did not participate in the competition; only those without skills did.
The happiest person was Qi Zhenhao. He had long wanted to hone his swordsmanship with the people here, so he naturally didn't intend to miss such a good opportunity.
Qi Zhiheng had already made some plans. After the competition ended, he would hand in his year's worth of tasks and then go out with Yang Yitian to complete the major task that would take place every six months.
As the competition began, the entire Qi family set off for the venue.
Yang Yitian thought about what others had said about them two months ago, so he stayed very close to Qi Zhiheng that day to see what those people would say about him and Qi Zhiheng not being together!
Qi Zhiheng didn't comment on his little scheme, but instead held his hand in public. This was a tacit acknowledgment of their relationship, which finally silenced the previous gossip.
The competitions for elixirs and talismans will be held later, and they will come to watch the competitions together at that time.
They had chosen servants, so they went to the Qi Refining stage competition venue to check on the situation. Although they could have chosen a Foundation Establishment stage person as a servant, they couldn't guarantee that the person wouldn't harbor resentment, so they decided to choose a Qi Refining stage person to train slowly.
The competition time for the Golden Core, Foundation Establishment, and Qi Refining stages is basically the same. After looking around the arena, the two went to the Qi Refining stage area. They were wearing inner sect disciple robes, which made the outer sect disciples somewhat apprehensive.
"That was a miscalculation. We should have disguised ourselves and then recruited from the outer sect. Maybe we could have recruited quite a few people who don't care about the outer sect's status," Yang Yitian said.
“You can restrict disguise if you want, but I don’t think it’s necessary. Having the identity of an inner disciple makes it easier to recruit people.” Qi Zhiheng didn’t think that changing one’s identity to that of a Golden Core cultivator was as useful.
The referee, who was only a Foundation Establishment cultivator, immediately went up to pay his respects upon seeing the two Golden Core cultivators approach. Qi Zhiheng waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to worry about such formalities.
After watching the competition for a day, Qi Zhiheng and Yang Yitian finally selected five outer sect cultivators who were not very good at the aptitude.
Being personally selected by a Golden Core cultivator was like a windfall for the nameless disciple. They hadn't performed well in the competition, but Qi Zhiheng didn't intend to choose the strongest. Most of the disciples he selected had wood spirit roots, which he wanted to take back to cultivate spiritual plants, so wood spirit roots were naturally preferred!
After the competition, the Qi family members all achieved many good results, and Qi Zhiheng's refining of a batch of top-grade pills on the spot amazed everyone!
At the same time, Qi Zhiheng and Yang Yitian's relationship as partners was officially confirmed. Qi Zhiheng's move at this time was sure to make people's hearts flutter. Many people sighed that they wished they had met Qi Zhiheng sooner, and that they would have been the ones to become his partners!
This statement was met with ridicule from some people.
You wanted to meet him sooner? Why don't you try bearing three sons for Qi Zhiheng and see what happens!
However, some people noticed Qi Zhiheng's identity as an alchemist, the kind who can refine top-grade pills. Could it be that Qi Zhiheng has a way to help people recover quickly after childbirth? Look at Yang Yitian, he's doing great, full of energy, and suffered no damage after giving birth. He even advanced to the Golden Core stage, which might be due to the use of pills.
Anyone with discerning eyes wouldn't say that Yang Yitian's Golden Core was built up with pills, because Yang Yitian's cultivation level wasn't superficial; it was clearly improved through his own strength. Even if he had taken pills, it wouldn't have significantly boosted his cultivation.
But many people like the sour smell!
Although Yang Yitian also showed his skills in the talisman competition, most cultivators still paid more attention to alchemists than talismans, especially those who could easily produce a batch of top-grade pills!
Fortunately, Qi Zhiheng only refined a level three pill in the competition. If he had refined a batch of level four pills, the sensation would have been far greater than it is now. Level four pills are extremely rare in Nanzhou. There aren't many Nascent Soul cultivators to begin with, and even fewer Nascent Soul alchemists. Level four alchemists would undoubtedly be treated with great respect anywhere in Nanzhou.
After Qi Zhiheng's abilities were revealed, many female cultivators became eager to make their move. When Qi Zhiheng returned that day, many female cultivators even asked to get to know him in front of Yang Yitian. Even if they couldn't become Daoist partners, it would be nice if alchemists could get a few pills from him.
Qi Zhiheng was annoyed by the harassment, and Yang Yitian was also very unhappy. Did these women think he was dead? They were seducing his Daoist partner right in front of him!
Yang Yitian was also furious! He went back and complained to his three sons. Qi Zhiheng, listening from the side, didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
The crane operator casually remarked, "It's so big, I wonder if it can even talk."
After changing the subject, he brought up the matter of preparing to go out with Yang Yitian.
This time, Yang Yitian took over the task of listening to the ears, and Qi Zhiheng went along only to help. After discussing it with that person, they temporarily put aside the matter of the female cultivators.
