SYSTEM MALL MAKE ME LOOK SO POOR
Xiao Feng's joy was palpable as he beheld the translucent tab in his mind, revealing a substantial reward. The system's announcement about the birth of twins, accompanied by a super gift box, further heightened his excitement. Contemplating the importance of family nurturing, he decided, "Yes, open it all. Let's see what a super gift box contains."
With each subsequent ding in his mind, he reaped rich rewards:
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for getting a 2nd grade Jade fruit."
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for getting Earth grade baby clothes."
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for getting 2 Spirit Root Upgrade Cards."
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for getting 100,000 spirit stones."
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for getting 500 Origin stones."
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for getting 500 Family Nurturing Points."
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for getting 3 Family Spirit Root Upgrade Cards."
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for getting a new cultivation technique: Metal Devouring Cultivation Techniques (Earth Low Grade)."
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for getting a cultivation technique: Beast Mastering Cultivation Techniques (Profound High Grade)."
Thrilled by the assortment of gifts in the super gift box, Xiao Feng couldn't wait to explore their potential. He escorted Xiao Cheng back to their chambers and returned to his cultivation pursuits.
Utilizing both spirit root upgrade cards on himself, Xiao Feng's status underwent a transformation:
"Host: Xiao Feng
Identity: Xiao Family Head
Age: 17
Cultivation Level: 3rd stage of Qi refinement
Spirit Root: 2nd medium grade fire spirit root
Cultivation Techniques: Dao Begets Everything Cultivation Techniques
Martial Skill: Sword Cutting the Sky (Earth Low Grade), Starry Sky Fall (High Earth Grade)
Family Nurturing Points: 600
Family Members: 4
System Mall: Opened
Other Commodities: 111,000 spirit stones, 510 origin stones, water wave cultivation techniques, Sky winding cultivation techniques (low earth grade), starry sky fall (high earth grade), Family spirit root upgrade card ×3, Sky fire sword (sky low level), Metal devouring cultivation techniques (Earth low grade), Beast mastering cultivation techniques (Profound high grade)."
Pleased with his updated status, Xiao Feng sensed the need to prepare for Han Ruoshi's pregnancy and decided to utilize the three Family Spirit Root Upgrade Cards on her and Xiao Cheng.
Applying two cards to Han Ruoshi, her spirit root advanced to the 2nd low grade, while Xiao Cheng's spirit root improved from 1st high grade to 2nd low grade. Han Ruoshi, recovering in her chamber, recognized Xiao Feng's efforts and resolved to hasten her cultivation progress.
Observing his 600 family nurturing points, Xiao Feng ventured into the newly opened System Mall. Amid a plethora of items, he noted various commodities, weapons, formations, cultivation techniques, martial skills, graded fruits, herbs, and even spirit veins. Of note were the high prices, with even the least expensive commodity, a 1st-grade rice grain, costing 500 family nurturing points.
Feeling the weight of his financial limitations, Xiao Feng contemplated his situation. Lamenting his current financial standing, he acknowledged the necessity of nurturing his children for a stronger future. Recognizing the challenge of securing resources, he resolved to focus on their growth, even though none were yet of cultivation age.
Time flew, and two years elapsed. Xiao Feng's family welcomed two more children, a boy named Xiao Ye and a girl named Xiao Cao. While their spirit roots were less remarkable, with Xiao Ye possessing a 1st medium grade fire spirit root and Xiao Cao holding a 1st high grade water spirit root, their births did bring rewards from the system. These rewards included spirit stones, profound martial skills, and 100 family nurturing points for each child.
Xiao Cheng had grown into a responsible elder brother, caring for his younger siblings. Recognizing his potential, Xiao Feng decided to begin teaching him cultivation when he turned four years old.
During this period, Han Ruoshi's cultivation hit a plateau due to pregnancy, resting at the 9th stage of body refinement. As for Xiao Feng, his current status was awe-inspiring, a testament to his diligent cultivation aided by spirit stones.
His updated status read:
"Host: Xiao Feng
Identity: Xiao Family Head
Age: 19

Xiao Feng's cultivation had surged from the 3rd stage to the 8th stage of Qi refinement. Amidst his cultivation pursuits, a guard delivered news of the City Lord's visit, prompting a sense of responsibility in Xiao Feng to attend to matters concerning the upcoming Clan and family meet.
