Chapter 12: Rewards

They hadn't even had time for the bridal chamber and candlelight before Li Daoxuan's young junior sister was summoned away by her father.

Li Daoxuan still wanted to eavesdrop on their conversation, but he was promptly kicked out by his father-in-law.

Sitting on the bed in the bridal chamber, Li Daoxuan muttered to himself, "What's going on? It's so mysterious!"

Indeed! Qing Xuan and her father said something, but in any case, they made it very mysterious.

Just as Li Daoxuan was about to fall asleep, Qing Xuan finally returned.

"Senior brother, you're not asleep yet?"

Li Daoxuan instantly became alert and chuckled, "How could I fall asleep? Tonight is an important day, you know~"

"Ah! Is... is it?"

The tone of his young junior sister was trembling, clearly showing some fear and shyness!

The fearless little girl from before is also afraid sometimes?

Li Daoxuan suddenly found his young junior sister even more adorable.

"By the way, where's Father-in-law?"

"He left!"

Li Daoxuan immediately stood up, surprised, "He left? It's so late, how could you let him go?"

"Did you invite him to stay a few more days?"

Qing Xuan said apologetically, "I... my dad said he's afraid he won't be able to resist slapping you!"

"Cough cough cough!" Li Daoxuan touched his nose and said awkwardly, "It can't be! It can't be! Father-in-law is already old, how could he have such a temper!"

However, Li Daoxuan understood his father-in-law's feelings very well.

Perhaps every father-in-law would have such feelings. They have raised their precious daughter for over ten years, and suddenly she is taken away by someone else. They must want to get rid of that person.

Li Daoxuan approached and pulled his young junior sister's hand, sitting on the bed, and said, "What did Father-in-law say to you? It's so mysterious!"

"I'm not telling you!"

Li Daoxuan pretended to be angry and said, "Alright then! Let's see how Senior brother punishes you!"

"Ah~"

"Senior... senior brother, we... we haven't even drunk the ceremonial wine yet!"

"What ceremonial wine! I want to drink water!"

"..."

\[Ding~\]

\[Congratulations, the master's family has added a new member!\]

\[The rewards are as follows:\]

\[Reward 1: The cultivation technique "Eternal Life Formula"\]

\[Reward 2: The sword technique "Qing Yuan Sword Formula"\]

\[Reward 3: The body tempering technique "Great Yan Body Tempering Formula"\]

Li Daoxuan was stunned, and then...

The next day, just as it was getting light, Li Daoxuan woke up, feeling refreshed.

Lying in bed, looking at the stunning beauty in his arms, Li Daoxuan felt that he had lived in vain before.

"Oh right!"

"It seems like I received a system reward last night, but I haven't had a chance to check it yet!"

Li Daoxuan saw the three shining ancient books in the system and felt puzzled.

"System, are you there?"

"If you are, make a sound!"

\[Squeak~\]

"Cough cough! You little rascal, you're getting cheekier, aren't you!" Li Daoxuan almost spurted out a mouthful of blood.

"System! Weren't you the 'More Children, More Blessings' system?"

"Why did you give me benefits again yesterday?"

\[Getting married and having children both have rewards!\]

Swipe!

Li Daoxuan sat up directly and then complained, "It's my first marriage, why didn't I get a reward?"

\[At that time, this system hadn't been activated yet!\]

"Alright!"

Li Daoxuan didn't dwell on this issue and started to examine the three ancient and simple manuals.

"Sss~"

As soon as he came into contact with them, golden light from the manuals flowed into Li Daoxuan's mind, followed by a mysterious and inexplicable feeling.

Li Daoxuan absorbed a lot of information instantly.

"I've learned the 'Eternal Life Technique' just like that? And reached a state of initial mastery?!"

"Oh! The 'Eternal Life Technique' is actually a ground-level cultivation method, specializing in spiritual power."

Li Daoxuan exclaimed in excitement, waking up Qing Xuan beside him.

"Master... Senior Brother, you're awake!"

Li Daoxuan rubbed the little girl's head and indulgently said, "Little girl, it's time to get up!"

"I don't want to! I want to sleep a little longer."

"Hey! You're a cultivator, how can you act like an ordinary woman?"

"It's all because of you! So what if I'm a cultivator? I'm still a girl!"

...

What surprised Li Daoxuan greatly was that both the "Qing Yuan Sword Technique" and the "Great Yan Body Tempering Technique" were also ground-level cultivation methods, and they were both high-quality ones.

They just focused on different aspects.

The "Qing Yuan Sword Technique" emphasized attack power and was a cultivation method for sword fighting.

The "Great Yan Body Tempering Technique" was also precious. It was a rare cultivation method for body tempering.

"These cultivation methods can definitely serve as the foundation of our family!"

Cultivation methods are divided into the levels of heaven, earth, mysterious, and yellow. A yellow-level cultivation method alone can establish a cultivation family in the mortal world.

Not to mention ground-level cultivation methods, they are definitely family heirlooms.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Li Daoxuan has already become an inner disciple of the Heavenly Dao Sect. He still doesn't have the right to practice ground-level cultivation methods.

"Oh! It's a bit of a pity!" Li Daoxuan shook his head, looking somewhat regretful.

"But others who want to learn these cultivation methods will have to start from scratch!"

That's right! The golden light in the books was absorbed by Li Daoxuan. If others want to learn, they can only take their time.

Can't stand it! Really can't stand it!

\[Master! This is a benefit for you. What else do you want?\]

\[If it weren't for your poor comprehension and your trash aptitude, would this system even need to do this?\]

"Hehehe~"

That's right! With Li Daoxuan's current comprehension and aptitude, he really can't learn ground-level cultivation methods.

Li Daoxuan placed the three ancient books on the bedside, then pinched Qing Xuan's nose and said, "Qing Xuan, it's time to get up. I have something good to share with you."

"No!"

"If you don't get up, I'm going to take action!"

"Ah! It tickles! Stop!"

Li Daoxuan pulled Qing Xuan up, then smiled and said, "Take a look at these three manuals. Are they suitable for your cultivation?"

Only after rubbing her eyes did Qing Xuan accept the manuals and, upon seeing them, immediately became spirited.

"Ah! Senior Brother, where did you get these manuals?"

Then Qing Xuan covered her mouth.

After just a simple look at the three manuals, she solemnly said, "Senior Brother, aren't these the sect's cultivation methods?"

"I... I won't ask where you got them from, but you must hide them well and not reveal them to anyone, understand?"

Li Daoxuan said seriously, "Is it that serious?"

"It's very serious!"

Li Daoxuan continued, "Take a look and see if there's anything suitable for you. You can study them."

"Wow! Senior Brother, you're so good to me."

Only then did Qing Xuan seriously look at the three cultivation manuals, muttering to herself as she read,

"This one is the Body Tempering Technique. I don't want to practice it and end up with muscles all over my body. That would be so ugly! I won't practice it! Absolutely not!"

"This cultivation method is good, but it's not very suitable for me!"

"Ah! This sword technique is really exquisite."

"Most importantly, it looks so cool. It's perfect for me."

...

Li Daoxuan listened with a black line on his forehead. The cultivation world emphasizes strength and powerful combat abilities. Who cares about whether it looks good or not?

But! What this little girl said makes sense!
