Chapter 1346: Chapter 1346: Setting Out Again
After attending two more array classes, although there was no level up, there was indeed progress.
The whole family was quite relaxed, but Chen Xue Man started to worry.
"Elder, how about letting me stay in the sect for another year or so? We’re still being watched."
Chen Xue Man knew this, so she didn’t insist.
Once again at the mission hall, at the top of the mission list hung a special mission, and the couple merely glanced at it. They didn’t aim too high and knew their own limits.
The next mission was to go to the Beast Taming Sect to bring back spirit beasts. Of course, they were not the ones responsible; they only needed to ensure the round trip’s safety.
Tan Shaoting clarified things with the steward, waiting for their response, as they needed to bring two children, which needed to be explained clearly.
It took a while, but eventually, the Spirit Beast Peak sent information that it was feasible. Only then did Tan Shaoting process the paperwork.
Liu Xiushan, the Golden Core cultivator from Spirit Beast Peak, frowned at his master. "Is there anything different about them? Why are they allowed to take children on the mission?"
"This is the sect master’s order. Your task also includes observing them."
"Are they loose cultivators who joined the sect?"
"Yes. The sect master is fond of talents and wants to make good use of them."
"I’d like to see what they are capable of. I’ll add an additional team member for this mission."
The main goal of this trip to the Beast Taming Sect was to retrieve the Vermilion Bird. Originally a spirit pet of a senior from the sect, it had been temporarily lent to the Beast Taming Sect by the Duobao Fairy, due to an infatuation with a certain creature there.
Now, since the owner has passed away and the agreed time is only up this year, this mission was to bring the spirit pet back.
After taking the mission, the couple returned to wait for their daughter.
"We are going out on a journey, so you must be careful."
Qi Wen leaned on her mother’s shoulder. "Don’t worry, I’ll be careful.
Dad, Mom, can you take Qi Hao and Qi Xuan with you this time?"
"Sure, just take care of yourself and stay safe."
Qi Wen’s task will be completed tomorrow, and they will leave the day after.
The family of Su Yuanyuan was to depart three days later, so there was no rush.
Qi Hao and Qi Xuan have always trained their sword techniques voluntarily, without their parents’ supervision.
The family discussed that due to their spirit roots, they mainly presented themselves as sword cultivators outside.
Thus, the two young ones began practicing swordplay before actual cultivation.
On the departure day, the couple appeared in the plaza, each carrying a child, ready for the flying boat’s departure.
This mission had five late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators and two at Foundation Establishment Perfection, plus the couple themselves.
The family’s appearance drew quite some attention because each was holding a small child.
Once aboard the flying boat, Tan Shaoting sat down to meditate and cultivate. He had made a small advancement last night, so he could only consolidate his cultivation on the flying boat.
Su Yuanyuan sat with the two children looking at a comprehensive guide to refining materials, which was the family’s weakness. They wanted to remember a bit so as not to miss out on good things in the future.
Although it was really tedious, Su Yuanyuan had placed all the ores from her previous storage bag into a new one yesterday, learning as they went along, which deepened their impression.
The mother and children learned happily. After a while, they would eat and stroll around the flying boat.
Their room was quite nice, so as not to disturb Tan Shaoting, the mother and children played on the deck.
Qi Hao and Qi Xuan had lost interest in the flying boat itself but remained curious about its interior.
Su Yuanyuan was not completely ignorant, but she was somewhat clueless, so the three guessed randomly.
Liu Xiushan was amazed to see a female cultivator with three children outside.
The sect had information about them, but he had not paid attention. Seeing them in person, he realized she was perhaps even more beautiful than the most renowned beauty.
Unexpectedly, she appeared to be in her early thirties, and already at the third level of Foundation Establishment. Observing her spiritual power, it was evident that her foundation was solid, and she wouldn’t have entered the Qi Refining Middle Stage too late.
It was natural for the sect master to value such a person, though it was a pity she was a loose cultivator.
Had she not been a loose cultivator, she might not have had children so early. She reportedly had five children, which was quite impressive.
In the cultivation world, having children is extremely difficult, perhaps a balance of Heavenly Dao?
The journey from Xuantian Sect to the Beast Taming Sect took a month of flying.
When Tan Shaoting had stabilized, he took the two children, and Su Yuanyuan went to paint talismans.
She had prepared many Thunder Spirit Talismans, and if possible, could give some to Qi Yan and Qi Hong.
As for Su Yuanyuan, a female cultivator with a partner and children, she was generally not approached.
Tan Shaoting was different. While he and his two children were studying on the deck, cultivators would come by to chat.
Cultivators are also human, and it’s not only women who are gossipy; men are the same.
Very quickly, Tan Shaoting and his two sons became familiar with the other nine cultivators on the flying boat.
Once familiar, they no longer found each other aloof or difficult to approach.
"Mr. Tan, you’re someone all us male cultivators envy."
Tan Shaoting understood what they meant.
Indeed, he was someone every man envied.
With a beautiful wife, mutual love, and five adorable children.
In the mortal world, having five children might not be difficult, but in the cultivation world, it’s different. Nangong Xingyun had asked several times for a recipe to aid in childbearing, but the couple truly had none.
In reality, after returning, it took two years to have Qi Hao and Qi Xuan.
But such things shouldn’t be known to others, right?
"Mr. Tan, I really like your Qi Hao and Qi Xuan. How about letting them be my disciples?" A cultivator at Foundation Establishment Perfection asked tentatively.
Tan Shaoting shook his head. "Mr. Sun, the children are still young, and their spirit roots are unknown. Besides, the two young ones have mentioned wanting to join the Sword Sect where my eldest son is.
We’re fine with them going there, as it’s the children’s decision."
"Mr. Tan, with the children at Xuantian Sect now, it would be unwise to go to the Sword Sect when they grow up. Please think it over carefully."
Tan Shaoting realized this was well-meant advice and it made sense.
Xuantian Sect probably wouldn’t be happy; after all, they attended classes there, using Xuantian’s resources.
Going to the Sword Sect might raise suspicions of them being spies, which would be unfair to the children.
"Thank you, Mr. Qi, for your advice. I’ll consider it."
"Mr. Tan, if the children like being sword cultivators, our sect’s sword cultivators are also very skilled. When we return, I can show you the traces left by the ancestors on the back mountain."
