Longevity starts from having a daughter in old age

4 Chapter 3: A Daughter in Old Age_1
Translator: 549690339
Husband, what were you all talking about outside?

After noticing the serious look on Xu Mus face after entering the room, Ye Yingying couldnt help but ask.

Its nothing! He wanted my help with Alchemy, and I turned him down!

Xu Mu relaxed his brows, laughing as he reassured her.

The baby might arrive soon, stop overthinking and get an early rest!

Oh!

Ye Yingying nodded, refraining from asking any further.

Her age was painfully apparent and, having seen so little of the world, she rarely questioned what Xu Mu told her.

To Xu Mu, she was as innocent as a child.

Every conversation he had with her made him feel culpably responsible.

The truth was, Xu Mu initially wanted to find a mature woman to share mutual support, however, the standards of the Cultivation Realm differed vastly from his previous life. Here, the older a woman, the more valuable she was, and with his own limitations, he could only settle for someone like Ye Yingying, a girl who was helpless and inexperienced.

Hmm!

Not long after laying down, her face tensed up in pain, reflecting the distress she felt.

Whats wrong?

Xu Mu quickly sat up, concern brimming in his eyes.

I feel like, its time, the baby is coming!

What?

Having lived two lives, even Xu Mu was caught off guard by the sense of panic that set in.

Forcing down his excitement, he quickly pulled out the talismans and pills he had prepared earlier.

As for a midwife, as much as he would have liked one, there wasnt any available in White River City.

Fortunately, Ye Yingying was already a cultivator herself; though only at the Qi Cultivation phase, her life force was naturally much more robust than an average persons.

After the frantic efforts of both, a loud cry of a newborn echoed through the room.

Holding the wrinkled and flushed baby, Xu Mu finally released a deep breath, a weight lifted off his shoulders.

It seems Ive become a father at an old age. No, more precisely, a father to a daughter.

At the age of 60, he was old enough to qualify as a late bloomer, a news that would have made the front page in his past life.

However, in the Cultivation Realm where life spans often exceed one hundred years, this achievement wasnt really that sensational here.

Great cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage or the Golden Core Stage, usually had children only after they had lived several hundred years.

Let me see her!

After receiving treatment from talisman and taking a pill to replenish her life force, Ye Yingying was feeling much better. She reached out for Xu Mus arms, a blissful smile beaming on her face as she took the baby.

Her lovely face, almond-shaped eyes, cherry-red lips, and long, silky hair, in this moment, through Xu Mus eyes, Ye Yingying was the epitome of beauty.

What should we name her? Ye Yingying asked, looking up at Xu Mu who was in a daze.

Lets call her Xu Ling!

Xu Mu came back to his senses and revealed the name he had thought of beforehand.

Xu Ling? Hmm! Sounds good! Her nickname will be Ling Ling from now on!

Ye Yingying gently played with the baby in her arms.

The moment the two of them confirmed the name, an unfamiliar electronic voice suddenly echoed in Xu Mus mind.

[Congratulations to the host for having the first offspring!]

Is this a cheat? A system?

After a brief surprising moment, Xu Mus heart surged with boundless joy.

Years after crossing into this world, the anticipated system is finally here.

Do you have any idea what Ive been through all these years?

My dear, whats wrong?

Seeing Xu Mu shaking with excitement, Ye Yingying asked with a hint of confusion.

Although having a child is definitely a celebration, his reaction was something else. It was quite excessive.

Truth be told, after a brief moment of joy, she was filled with worries and concerns.

How will they manage to survive in the future?

Their living condition was already quite harsh, with the inclusion of a new mouth to feed, it would only get difficult from now on.

I am just overflowing with happiness, truly overjoyed! Haha!

Unable to hide his excitement, Xu Mu embraced Ye Yingyin a couple of times.

Ye Yingyings cheeks blushed with slight embarrassment.

She was still holding their baby in her arms!

Dont worry, I will never allow you to suffer again! And our little one, they truly are my lucky charm!

While looking at his daughters wrinkled little face, Xu Mu felt like he was observing a priceless treasure.

Okay

Even though Ye Yingying wasnt quite sure where Xu Mu was drawing his confidence from, she nodded her head firmly.

However, she was willing to believe in whatever her dear husband said.

By the time Ye Yingying and the baby had fallen asleep, it was already midnight. This was the only time Xu Mu managed to carefully research the newly awakened system.

In reality, there wasnt much to research. The description on the panel was very detailed and easy to understand.

The only thing that wasnt clear was, what kind of achievements does the system have and how one can obtain them?

Since one can obtain Joy of Having a Daughter, doesnt this mean that Joy of Having a Son is also possible? Or maybe even Blessed with Both Son and Daughter?

If its a family achievement system, then achievements related to family should all count! Such as having many wives and concubines, children and grandchildren everywhere, a large family and so on.

This system of achievements feels like the farming games I used to play in my previous life. Each time an achievement was completed, it was equivalent to expanding the land, continuously providing grain that is, Luck Value!

Then, with the help of Luck Value, one can further enhance their strength and acquire more achievements!

The more achievements you complete, the more Luck Value you obtain every day! Resulting in a faster increase in strength!

Xu Mu was increasingly thrilled the more he thought about this.

With this system, let alone becoming a successful Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator a dream he has always strived for, even if he aimed to become a Golden Core master or a Nascent Soul old ancestor, there might be a chance as well.

However, its a bit of a pity that Luck Value cant be directly used to upgrade my cultivation base.

If it could directly enhance his cultivation base, his progress rate would certainly be much faster.

But Luck Value, seems more like an ethereal power similar to spiritual faith, which cant help enhance the actual cultivation base, its understandable, though.

Xu Mu felt that he should consider first how to allocate the existing Luck Value to enhance strength and improve life, putting aside the thoughts about how to gain achievements for the moment.

After all, to live a good future, one must first survive the present.

10,000 Luck Value points, I estimate that it can upgrade a skill to a Grandmaster level or even Transcendent realm!

Even the most ordinary skill, once cultivated to the Transcendent realm, will have incredible power.

All cultivators know this, but cultivating to the Transcendent realm is extremely difficult.

Even with the simplest Fireball Skill, he has never heard of anyone reaching the Transcendent realm.

Of course, it could be that he is too ignorant.

After all, the world is vast, and where he is, is rather limited.

The ancestor of the Clear River Sword Sect is just at the Golden Core stage.

These 10,000 Luck Value points are likely a newbie gift bag, it cannot be used casually.

Xu Mu was very cautious about how to allocate these 10,000 Luck Value points.

Because its very likely that this will be the biggest amount of Luck Value he could get in a short time.

As for when he would have such an opportunity again, God knows when.

Xu Mu is of the idea that he should use it in divisions, proportionally upgrading offensive skills, Alchemy Skills, and his main martial method according to their importance.

To him, safety always comes first in this world. In order to live, one should consider making money only after surviving. Once the money is available, the increase of cultivation base is just a matter of time.

Since the first day he was transported to this world, the strong sense of crisis in his heart has never eased.

If he wasnt forced by life circumstances, he would definitely dedicate all his time to enhance his strength.

And theres Sun Daocheng, I always feel that things will not end so easily! After enhancing my strength, I can simply get rid of him!

Xu Mu was certainly not a compassionate man.

In this world, compassionate people cant survive.

For his wife and daughter, some things, even if he doesnt want to do it, he still had to.

While choosing a warfare skill, Xu Mu didnt need to think much!

Fire-controlling Skill!

This skill will not only enhance his combat ability but also his alchemy skills, thereby achieving two goals in one stroke.

Upon deciding, Xu Mu started adding points.

Lets first upgrade it to the perfection realm and see!

[Fire-controlling Skill +77]

[Fire-controlling Skill Perfection Stage; 0/800]
