Chapter 116: Yan Qiu is pregnant (two in one)
The news of Lord Shengfeng killing the demon warrior spread to hundreds of spiritual realms under the jurisdiction of Black Cloud City.

It was the first time that the spiritual weapon families heard the name of this rural spiritual realm, and they were all surprised that the order was given by the palace lord himself.

If a territory has the strength of warriors and also has an inherited spiritual weapon and prospers for 500 years, it can become a noble family and be on equal footing with them. How come I have never heard of it before?

The heads of the large families who owned fiefs and were in Black Cloud City began to pass information to each other and inquire about the origins of Shengfengling.

I learned that the City Lord's Mansion had begun to promote the rare item presented by the great sage. It was a rare item that could produce more than 3,000 kilograms per mu in mountainous areas. It was called sweet potato.

When the head of the Che family heard that Sheng Fengling had contacted his youngest son and used the family's psychic bird to deliver the message, he was startled.

Soon, Che Ji of Songbai Township received an urgent warning letter from his father, sternly warning him not to deal with Shengfeng Lord. That lord had caught the eye of the mansion lord, and had presented the rare sweet potato, and was a great sage. If he died inexplicably, he would not investigate.

But the situation outside was chaotic, and Che Ji could not contact the ghost master in a short time. He was so anxious that he even planned to send someone to secretly inform the Lord of Shengfeng Territory to take refuge in Black Cloud City first.

"Lord Che Ji has made great contributions by offering spices, and the Young Master's Mansion invites you."

But at this time, an envoy from the Prince's Mansion came to Songbai Township and brought the Prince's order.

Che Ji was overjoyed when he heard this. He immediately forgot about the matter of the ghost master and gave up his position as the lord of Songbai Township.

Follow the envoy from the Young Master's Mansion to Black Cloud City.

……

……

early morning.

Mushroom began to take care of the spiritual field, with simple and honest movements, slowly taking care of the five acres of spiritual field. For it, this would take the entire morning to complete.

"Jiji."

The little firebird and the psychic bird Cuiyu were playing in the peach tree.

Zhou Qingshan sat quietly under a tree, beside a small pond, holding a fishing rod and using runes to fish, while Xiaoxiao stayed beside him obediently.

Mo Yanqiu and Gao Feixue were practicing martial arts not far away, moving their qi and blood, and a wave of heat swept in all directions.

There was a wooden chessboard on the stone pier next to him. Zhou Qingshan would occasionally turn his head and play chess with Xiaoxiao.

After a while, Xiaoxiao stared at the chessboard and began to think hard.

There is no extra entertainment here. Apart from delicious food, the most interesting thing is the Gobang and chess that Zhou Qingshan plagiarized from his previous life. It is also the only leisure and entertainment in the courtyard.

Except for the strange beasts that the guard team could not handle and required the lord to take action, Zhou Qingshan stayed at his home spiritual vein to hone his martial arts and work hard to improve his strength.

This is a normal, peaceful and boring day for a Spirit Realm Lord.

So, when they heard yesterday that the two of them had actually collapsed the bed, everyone in the family burst into laughter.

The two men went to the creek and found a flat piece of granite that was just the right size, so they worked together to carry it back and use it as a solid base for the new bed.

I worked for several hours until late at night so that I would not have no place to sleep.

"Red-tailed golden carp?!"

Soon, ripples appeared on the water surface. Zhou Qingshan slightly lifted the fishing rod and easily caught the fish on the water surface. He looked at the big fish struggling in mid-air. Its body was covered with red scales like flames, and there was a golden line on its back that was shining.

Isn’t it an old acquaintance, the dragon species that was caught for the first time with the rune fishing, the red-tailed golden carp, and its size is not the size of a thumb as before.

Since the awakening of the power of strength and the breakthrough to become a warrior, my strength has increased dramatically. I can go fishing every day without using essence as bait. Five out of ten fishing opportunities will yield spiritual fish and silver, and the other five opportunities are likely to be random, which may be better or worse.

There were too many spirit fish to eat, so Zhou Qingshan was thinking about how to raise and sell them, but he had to wait until his territory bordered Xigu Township, where there was a big lake.

Zhou Qingshan grabbed the red-tailed golden carp, stuck the fishing rod into the ground, and stood up. "It is rumored that this thing has dragon blood and can improve the root bone constitution. Xiaoxiao, you and Feixue should cook it together and eat it."

Xiao Xiao looked at the beautiful creature still struggling in Zhou Qingshan's hands, knowing that it was not the ordinary spirit fish from before, and waved her hand and said, "Can it improve your bones? It's a bit of a waste to eat this spirit fish. You should eat it with Sister Yan Qiu, young master."

Zhou Qingshan smiled and said, "Yan Qiu will be promoted to a warrior in the future and will live a long life of 120 years. I really can't imagine what Yan Qiu and I will do if you grow old and lose your capable assistant decades later?"

After saying this, he handed the red-tailed golden carp in his hand to Xiaoxiao and insisted that she accept it.

Zhou Qingshan knew that he had abundant resources and real skills. With the existing source blood, he could at least cultivate to the warrior level. However, the person around him, what he was most concerned about was Xiaoxiao's future.

Seeing this, Xiaoxiao knew she could no longer refuse, so she carefully took the red-tailed golden carp that was shining with golden light.

Xiao Xiao said seriously: "I will practice martial arts diligently with Fei Xue to ensure that every bit of the effectiveness of this red-tailed golden carp can be fully utilized."

"I will try my best to stay with you till old age."

Zhou Qingshan nodded with satisfaction, and just as he turned around to continue fishing, he was interrupted by the sound of a phoenix in the distance. The sound was clear and melodious, with an indescribable sense of sacredness that made people feel awe.

Their eyes all turned to the source of the sound, and saw a dazzling light blooming from Mo Yanqiu's body, and a huge phoenix was flying in it. Its feathers were like blazing flames, and every flap of its wings stirred up layers of halos that rippled in the air.

Xiaoxiao stared at the shocking scene intently and was so shocked that she was speechless for a moment.

Zhou Qingshan understood clearly and said softly: "Yan Qiu has been promoted to a warrior. She has made some progress in her middle-level skills."

As the phoenix's shadow dissipated, Mo Yanqiu's figure gradually became clear.

She stood there quietly, the red phoenix mark on her forehead was like a burning flame, emitting a faint glow, which complemented her temperament and added a bit of mystery and nobility.

Xiao Xiao finally recovered from her shock. She clapped her hands excitedly and praised: "Sister Yan Qiu, congratulations on breaking through to become a warrior!"

She is no martial arts idiot now.

In the past few months, Yan Qiu has successively broken through the four small realms of strongman and warrior and reached the warrior realm.

A warrior at the age of twenty is definitely the mainstay of the family.

After adapting to her newfound strength, Mo Yanqiu walked over lightly with a gentle smile: "Husband, Xiaoxiao."

Then, she turned to Zhou Qingshan, with a hint of inquiry in her eyes: "Husband, I feel that there seems to be some changes in my body. Please check the chess piece panel."

She raised her hand, and the strength came out, condensing into a ball of blazing flame in her palm, burning fiercely.

This force is an invisible thing, but at this moment it seems like the weapon's power and has substance.

Zhou Qingshan did not feel any changes in himself due to the bond, so he quickly opened his wife's chess piece panel.

……

【Chess piece: Mo Yanqiu (only one).】

[Bonds: Unrivaled (gold/activated), Phoenix Power (silver/activated), Soul Lotus (silver/activated), Guardian (silver/activated). ]

【Spirit: 33 (Warrior).】

【技艺：火凤燎原枪/小成（1/100），霜鸟凌寒冲天图/小成（76/100），苍鸿逐风枪法/大成三十路飞燕手/小成（68/100）。】

……

A new silver bond has been added to the bond column of my wife Mo Yanqiu, and it is slightly different from the silver bond, with a small amount of golden light mixed in it.

Seeing this, Zhou Qingshan checked the chess piece panels of the others and found no new bonds. He was thinking about it.

"Phoenix power? Personal bond? Or a bond that can grow like [Unrivaled]?"

Zhou Hu has the bond [Bravery], Gao Feixue has the bond [Wind and Snow], both of which are personal bonds that belong to them and can greatly enhance their own strength.

Today my wife also awakened her personal bonds.

Zhou Qingshan was shocked when he got this result: "The power of bond can actually be cultivated? In this case, there should be a personal bond in my body that has not awakened?"

He turned to Mo Yanqiu and said, "Yanqiu, you have gained an additional personal bond of [Phoenix Power]. It seems that it can grow, but I don't know what the effect of this power is."

"Phoenix Force?"

Mo Yanqiu whispered softly, as if she was chewing on the meaning of this newly awakened bond. She then ordered: "Feixue, bring me a low-grade mortal weapon."

Gao Feixue responded by taking a long sword from the weapon rack and handing it to Mo Yanqiu.

Due to Lava's extraordinary talent and remarkable improvement in skills, a low-grade mortal soldier can now be made in one day, and a high-grade mortal soldier can be made with all his strength, but a high-grade mortal soldier will take five to seven days.

Mo Yanqiu took the long knife and casually attached a ball of fire to it.

In a flash, the long sword made of fine iron was burned to melt, leaving only a thumb-sized piece of fine iron.

"Remove the impurities and leave only the essence."

"By stimulating the power of the phoenix and increasing the strength, I can actually reach this level."

Mo Yanqiu pinched the piece of iron that the long sword had turned into, and applied light force, leaving only a white mark.

You know, with her strength, she can break this high-quality iron sword in half with her bare hands and then roll it into an iron ball.

Under the tempering of the Phoenix Power, the hardness of this refined iron has been greatly improved, and it can even be compared with that of black gold and cold iron.

"Decomposition? What if this hits a person?" Zhou Qingshan saw this scene.

Mo Yanqiu used the power of the phoenix to test his own source blood. "The effect is a little worse. This phoenix power will be offset by the will of the source blood. However, the treasure soldiers and black soldiers may not be able to hold on for a few times."

"The Zhenyue Spear can't withstand the power of the Phoenix." She added.

Mo Yanqiu's heart moved, and he turned his head to look at the little flame bird perched on the tree, and whispered: "Little guy, transform into a spirit soldier."

"grumble."

The little firefly on the tree was unmoved. It stretched out its wings and gestured, looking like a human raising a finger.

"Come down." Mo Yanqiu frowned slightly, with a hint of unquestionable majesty in his tone. The little flame bird seemed a little timid, and it hid its body behind the psychic bird Cuiyu, trying to cover itself.

But how can I hide it?
It has now digested the essence of several months, and the silver fished out by the runes, except for making two silver weapons, the rest is all used to repair its body, making its size two sizes larger than that of the psychic bird Cuiyu.

Its behavior of hiding under the green feathers is undoubtedly self-deception, and at most it can only cover its head.

"A spiritual seed or plant?" Zhou Qingshan asked at this time.

The little Flame Bird looked up and nodded seriously.

It enjoys the comfort brought by the essence, the satiety and deliciousness of the spirit seeds, especially the smoke produced when the spirit plants burn, which is as intoxicating to it as fine wine. However, there are only two opportunities to enjoy this kind of thing a month, so it naturally wants to take the opportunity to gain more benefits.

Seeing this, Mo Yanqiu cast a glance at Zhou Qingshan and said, "Look at this little guy. You spoil him."

Zhou Qingshan said with a hint of doting: "When we grow old in the future and this little thing grows up, it will continue to protect our offspring."

He thought of Lord Qi, so he never regarded the spiritual weapon as a weapon in his heart, but just regarded it as raising a son.

"Little guy, why don't you transform into a spirit soldier?"

The little firebird obeyed, uttered a crisp cry, and flew down from the peach tree, leaving a fiery trail in the air. It then transformed into a dagger-sized, lotus-shaped pistol and landed lightly in Mo Yanqiu's hand.

Mo Yanqiu tightly grasped the lotus pistol that was transformed from the little flame bird and activated the power of the phoenix again.

The power of the phoenix and the spiritual power of the little fire bird intertwined in Mo Yanqiu's hands. The air around her began to fluctuate, and a hot breath emanated from her.

Bang!
The pistol suddenly formed a three-meter-long flaming aura, and the flaming aura around the gun changed according to her will.

Gao Feixue witnessed this scene and was shocked. "Is this a Bing Gang?! The little guy is a spiritual soldier? Yan Qiu, you have become the commander of the army?!"

She had previously thought that this little fire bird and the psychic bird Cuiyu were the same type of strange creatures.

"Ah."

Mo Yanqiu nodded slightly, and she did not wave the flames around her lightly. She knew the power of this force very well, and once released, it would probably destroy everything around.

Therefore, she carefully withdrew the Phoenix Force.

As the power dissipated, the lotus spear emitted a ray of light and transformed into the form of a small flame bird. It landed lightly on the ground, then spread its wings and asked Zhou Qingshan for a reward.

Zhou Qingshan turned back into the house, took out a Jade Spirit Seed and handed it to it, and reminded it: "Little guy, be careful when you inhale the spirit seed smoke, don't set my backyard on fire. If it really happens, I can't protect you."

The little flame bird nodded, carefully hugged the Jade Spirit Plant with its wings, and called out to Cui Yu. Since it couldn't fly while holding the spirit plant, it could only move its little feet and run away happily, intending to go to its secret base to enjoy its fine wine.

Gao Feixue reluctantly withdrew her gaze until the little flame bird disappeared into the depths of the lush forest. She turned to Mo Yanqiu, her excitement evident in her words:
"Yan Qiu, we actually have spiritual weapons in our family, real spiritual weapons!!"

Seeing this, Zhou Qingshan patiently explained, "Before, the little guy was only the size of a toothpick, and its strength was insignificant. It was Yan Qiu's phoenix power that gave it its current power."

A glimmer of desire flashed in Gao Feixue's eyes.

Seeing this, Zhou Qingshan made a promise: "Feixue, you will also have the opportunity to forge spiritual weapons in the future."

Gao Feixue showed a worried look: "Master, a spiritual weapon embryo requires at least 100 kilograms of silver, which is equivalent to 1,600 taels of silver. This is a huge sum of money."

Silver was scarce, and a warrior without support could not have accumulated such a huge fortune. Even a spiritual weapon family would have to use up a hundred years of wealth to build it, as it was a treasure passed down from generation to generation.

This was still a low-grade spiritual weapon. Medium-grade and high-grade spiritual weapons required the consumption of massive amounts of resources, and no silver mines had been discovered near Black Cloud City.

Shengfengling’s foundation is still too shallow.

"silver……"

Zhou Qingshan pondered. Even if he used the essence of rune fishing, the probability of catching silver was very low, only half a catty to a catty each time. If he was lucky for several years, he could save up an embryo of a low-grade spiritual weapon.

But there is also a little fire bird at home, which will consume a lot of silver, but with the power of the phoenix, it has the top combat power of the army, so it must be given priority.

Otherwise, if you encounter monsters or aliens, you will be wiped out in one wave and there will be no late stage.

And with my wife's talent, she will definitely need to forge her own spiritual weapon in the future instead of inheriting her mother's spiritual weapon.

In this case we cannot favor one over the other. With Feixue and Erhu's current progress in cultivation, coupled with their spiritual seed resources, they can reach the limit of warriors before they are thirty years old, and both have the possibility of forging their own spiritual weapons.

So, where does this huge amount of silver come from?
Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind like lightning.

"Trading spirit fish and spirit seeds..." Zhou Qingshan's gaze lingered on the spirit fish swimming in the pond for a moment.

Spirit fish and spirit seeds, as precious resources that warriors dream of, are in long-lasting demand in the market.

If they could accumulate silver through trading these rare resources, perhaps they could solve the silver needs of the four of them.

The spiritual fish obtained from fishing alone are obviously not enough to meet the huge amount of silver needed to forge spiritual weapons.

If one could raise spiritual fish in the big lake and grow spiritual seeds outside the Cloud Top chessboard, the sum of the two accumulated in three to five years would be enough to support a warrior at the level of raising an army.

After all, silver cannot be eaten.

As long as the inherited spiritual weapons of the spiritual weapon family have not reached the brink of extinction, and there are no warriors in the family who dare to ignite the spiritual fire, the silver stored for hundreds of years will have no place to be used, and they will definitely be willing to take out part of it to exchange for resources.

Zhou Qingshan immediately shared this idea with Mo Yanqiu and Gao Feixue:

"The water quality in the Cloud Top Chessboard is similar to that of the spiritual spring water, and it is effective for mushrooms. We have a chance to grow spiritual seeds on the spiritual fields, and there is a large lake in the Valley Township, so we can try to raise spiritual fish."

He was not overly worried about the possible covetousness of the Spirit Soldier Family. In his wife's hands, the little Flame Bird was a real Spirit Soldier. Although there was a slight gap in terms of guard combat soldiers, in terms of top military power, the two were already on the same level.

You know, even in the spiritual weapon family, there are only three or five warriors. The first reason is that there are not enough resources to support them. The second reason is that only the strong who have comprehended the true meaning of martial arts are qualified to raise an army. Each of them is regarded as a genius, and there are very few of them.

With the attention of Black Cloud City, pulling the dragon skin can reveal some secrets openly. As long as the development is fast enough, the force is strong, and there are spiritual weapons in hand, it is easy to cut off those unruly hands in the dark.

After hearing this, Gao Feixue's eyes flashed with excitement, as if he had already seen mountains of silver.

Mo Yanqiu calmly asked the question: "At present, there is no precedent for breeding spirit fish in our territory."

Zhou Qingshan nodded, "Tomorrow, we will go to Xigu Township to investigate and see if the Liu family has left behind any 'secret method of fish farming'."

Mo Yanqiu agreed.

The next day, Zhou Qingshan and Mo Yanqiu went to Xigu Township together. This spiritual place, the sparkling lake occupied half of its area, and the boats on the lakeside swayed gently in the breeze. It should have been a peaceful and harmonious scene.

However, at this time, the spiritual realm was empty and an atmosphere of deathly silence enveloped the entire village. The mottled bloodstains on the houses had not yet completely dried up, which was chilling.

Zhou Qingshan used his magical power of eyes, "X-ray", to search carefully in the only courtyard in the spiritual realm.

His efforts were not in vain, as he found a hidden cellar under the side room. In the cellar were 1,600 treasure yuan and three taels of silver, in addition to a volume of the lower level true skill secret book and a summary of the problems encountered in spiritual fish breeding.

After taking these things back, Zhou Qingshan personally handed over the method of raising fish to Wu Huichunfeng and solemnly entrusted him with it.

The little girl had a serious look on her face and patted her chest to promise that she would complete the task assigned by the head of the family.

A month goes by in a blink of an eye.

With an ample supply of exotic beast meat, the thirty guards could enjoy rich nutrition at every meal, which made many of them begin to sense the changes in their qi and blood, gradually strengthening their qi and blood.

These new guards were led by Zhou Hu. They would occasionally go out of the spiritual realm to hunt exotic beasts, see blood, and occasionally suffer minor injuries.

The matter of the soldiers is as important as the matter of the spirit fish and spirit species.

Zhou Qingshan has never forgotten the only golden bond [Red Lotus Demon Slayer Guard] on the little Flame Bird. He summoned the blood coagulation guards in his home, but failed to successfully activate the bond of the little Flame Bird.

It did strengthen Zhou Hu's [Guard] power, the invisible inner armor. Zhou Qingshan read the military book given by Master Wen, and found out about the power of battle formations, that it was actually the "battle soldier" aura.

However, the number of combat soldiers needs to reach a hundred before a qualitative change can occur.

Everything in the territory is in order.

There were no monster attacks and no strange beast disturbances.

Nothing happened in the morning.

Zhou Qingshan, Mo Yanqiu and Xiaoxiao sat together at the dining table, enjoying a warm lunch time.

There wasn’t much, and most of it went into the little stomach.

With their current strength, they must eat spiritual seeds to fill their stomachs and maintain their physical strength, but this eating habit is still retained.

Soon Mo Yanqiu suddenly felt nauseous. She hurriedly stood up, walked quickly to the side, and began to dry heave uncontrollably.

Seeing this, Zhou Qingshan immediately put down his bowl and chopsticks, followed over with concern, patted her back gently, his eyes full of worry.

After a while, Mo Yanqiu's discomfort gradually subsided.

Zhou Qingshan gently held her hand, his eyes sparkling with irrepressible joy, "Yanqiu, are you... pregnant?"

Mo Yanqiu was stunned for a moment, then she reacted and a look of joy appeared on her face.

Vomiting is almost impossible for a warrior who has an immune system to all diseases.

"This is really great news. Yanqiu, you take a rest first. I'll go call my father-in-law over."

Zhou Qingshan carefully helped Mo Yanqiu sit down again, his voice full of excitement and tenderness.

After saying that, he hurried out of the house.

Mo Yanqiu looked at Zhou Qingshan's back, her heart also filled with excitement.

She gently stroked her belly, where perhaps a small life was quietly growing.
