A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 2

Although Wu Hao was only at the peak of the Qi Refining Stage, guiding Wu Rulong in cultivation was quite easy for him. As a result, under Wu Hao’s guidance, Wu Rulong quickly absorbed spiritual energy into his body and smoothly broke through to the initial stage of Qi Refining.

Since Wu Rulong possessed a Superior Spiritual Root, Wu Hao naturally received a thousandfold feedback in return.

[Ding, detected that a descendant with a Superior Spiritual Root under the Host has broken through, providing the Host with a thousandfold feedback.]

With the sound of the System’s notification, a vast and pure spiritual energy surged directly into Wu Hao’s body. In an instant, it shattered Wu Hao’s bottleneck, and soon, he advanced from the Qi Refining Stage directly to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.

Regarding his current breakthrough, Wu Hao was quite satisfied. After all, one can’t become immortal overnight, and future concerns could be addressed later. For now, the most important task was to urge his son to cultivate diligently and hopefully marry a few more wives to expand his family tree.

Wu Hao was indeed quite eager for the millionfold returns promised for a Child of Destiny.

“Father, look, I’ve broken through to the initial stage of Qi Refining!” Wu Rulong ran up to Wu Hao, excitedly announcing.

Wu Hao, however, sighed with a somewhat disappointed expression and said, “Son, you must know that when your father was cultivating back then, I broke through to the initial stage of Qi Refining in less than a minute. But now look at you, taking a full two hours to break through. In my opinion, you are still too conceited.”

Upon hearing this, a trace of embarrassment flashed across Wu Rulong’s face. Initially, he thought that stepping into the path of immortality in just two hours was quite impressive, but he hadn’t expected his father to be even more remarkable. It seemed he still needed to work hard.

But what Wu Rulong didn’t know was that, in reality, Wu Hao had taken a full year to step into the Qi Refining Stage back then. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have spent a full ten years only to barely reach the peak of Qi Refining and be expelled from the sect.

“I understand, Father. I will certainly work hard in my cultivation!” Wu Rulong said seriously as he looked at Wu Hao. Seeing this, Wu Hao finally nodded in satisfaction and said, “Very well. In that case, I’ll set a goal for you: break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage within three years. Do you have the confidence?”

“Three years? I understand, Father. I will definitely break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage within three years!”

Wu Rulong agreed without hesitation. Wu Hao took out a Storage Ring and handed it to Wu Rulong. Seeing his son’s curious expression, Wu Hao explained, “This is a Storage Ring, and inside are the resources I’m giving you. During this time, just use these Supreme Spirit Stones to cultivate.”

Upon hearing that the ring contained Supreme Spirit Stones, Wu Rulong couldn’t help but take a sharp breath. He knew very well how powerful Supreme Spirit Stones were. It’s no exaggeration to say that even a Great Emperor would use Supreme Spirit Stones, which shows just how precious they are.

In the Xuantian Realm, cultivators use Spirit Stones as currency, and their value increases by a hundredfold at each level. This means that one Supreme Spirit Stone can be exchanged for one hundred Superior Spirit Stones, ten thousand Medium Spirit Stones, or one million Inferior Spirit Stones.

Most importantly, Spirit Stones are also resources for cultivators. With Supreme Spirit Stones, Rulong estimated that just one might be enough to help him break through to the peak of Foundation Establishment, or even to the Spiritual Sea stage.

However, after Wu Hao taught him how to use the Storage Ring and he saw the quantity of Spirit Stones inside, Rulong looked at Wu Hao with a complex expression and asked, “Father, what realm are you really at?”

“Me? I’m just an ordinary little cultivator,” Wu Hao replied modestly, thinking he should keep a low profile since he hadn’t become invincible yet, despite having a grand cheat.

Rulong, having picked up somewhere, rolled his eyes at Wu Hao. How could someone who could hand out a hundred thousand Supreme Spirit Stones be an ordinary little cultivator?

But Rulong didn’t say anything. He was just extremely curious about his father’s cultivation level, thinking it must be very high to be able to produce a hundred thousand Supreme Spirit Stones. In reality, he was merely at the modest mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.

At that moment, Wu Hao didn’t bother with his son’s thoughts. Just as he gave away the hundred thousand Supreme Spirit Stones, the System’s voice resounded.

[Ding, detected the Host has gifted a hundred thousand Supreme Spirit Stones to a Superior Spiritual Root target, triggering a thousandfold return. One billion Supreme Spirit Stones have been stored in the Host’s System space.]

[Ding, detected the Host has gifted one Heaven Rank Cultivation Technique to a Superior Spiritual Root target, triggering a thousandfold return. One thousand Heaven Rank Cultivation Techniques have been stored in the Host’s System space.]

[Ding, detected the Host has gifted one Profound rank Storage Ring to a Superior Spiritual Root target, triggering a thousandfold return. One thousand Profound rank Storage Rings have been stored in the Host’s System space.]

Hearing the System’s notification, Wu Hao couldn’t help but lower his head in thought. If he gave the System’s returned Spirit Stones to his son again, would this bug be triggered once more?

Thinking of this, Wu Hao planned to test it out, but just as he was about to start, the System’s voice rang out.

[Ding, detected the Host’s thoughts. System bug has been fixed. Please do not attempt to exploit System loopholes.]

“Alright, I was originally thinking of collecting a few more resources.”

Wu Hao thought helplessly, but the current resources were already sufficient for his son to use for a long period.

Of course, there was another approach: Wu Hao could take the System’s returned one billion Supreme Spirit Stones, exchange them for resources, and then give them to his son. However, doing so would put Wu Hao in immense danger.

After all, for a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, Supreme Spirit Stones were exceptionally precious. If others knew Wu Hao possessed even one, Golden Core stage cultivators might be tempted to seize it.

For someone like Wu Hao, who wanted to develop quietly first, this was clearly not a good thing.

Nevertheless, Wu Hao didn’t limit himself to just the billion Supreme Spirit Stones; he also had the resources left by Su Qiaoran before she left. So, without hesitation, he handed them over to his son.

[Ding, congratulations to the Host for gifting ten Foundation Establishment Pills. You have received ten thousand Foundation Establishment Pills.]

[Ding, congratulations to the Host for gifting five Core Formation Pills. You have received five thousand Core Formation Pills.]

[Ding, congratulations to the Host for gifting…]

In no time, the resources previously left by Su Qiaoran multiplied a thousandfold in Wu Hao’s hands. However, there was a downside: the System only returned items of the same grade, meaning that gifting a Heaven Rank Cultivation Technique would only return the same Heaven Rank Cultivation Technique, and it would be the original one.

Even so, these resources were now enough for Wu Rulong to cultivate into an immortal. By the time Wu Rulong became immortal, perhaps Wu Hao could break through to a level beyond immortals himself.

Satisfied, Wu Hao nodded as he looked at the resources in his System space. He then turned to Wu Rulong and said seriously.

“Alright, go cultivate now. Work hard to reach the Foundation Establishment stage soon.”

“Yes, Father!”

Time swiftly passed. It didn’t even take three years; in just one year, Wu Rulong successfully broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage. Meanwhile, Wu Hao, benefitting from the extraordinary feedback, smoothly advanced to the Spiritual Sea stage.

At fifteen, Wu Rulong successfully reached the Spiritual Sea stage, while Wu Hao simultaneously advanced to the Golden Core stage. By the time Wu Rulong was eighteen, he had already reached the peak of the Spiritual Sea stage, and Wu Hao had progressed to the late Golden Core stage.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk. It seems that relying only on the cultivation feedback from my son isn’t enough. At this rate, when will I ever reach the Great Emperor level?”

Wu Hao thought to himself. Although he was now in the late Golden Core stage, granting him a formidable lifespan of a thousand years, the pace of his cultivation was still too slow.

Cultivating immortality defies the natural order, and each successful defiance brings immense benefits, including increased lifespan.

The lifespan for each cultivation stage increases as follows: Foundation Establishment can reach 200 years, Spiritual Sea up to 500 years, Golden Core to 1,000 years, Nascent Soul up to 3,000 years, Divine Transformation to 10,000 years; Void Refinement to 30,000 years; Tribulation Crossing to 100,000 years; Saint to 200,000 years; Supreme to 500,000 years; Quasi-Emperor to 600,000 years, and Great Emperor to 1,000,000 years.

But for Wu Hao, the current speed of advancing through realms was still too slow. It seemed to be time for Rulong to marry and have children. With this thought, Wu Hao couldn’t help but glance at Wu Rulong, who was immersed in meditation.

Meanwhile, Wu Rulong suddenly shivered, feeling curious. “Strange, why am I sneezing? Could it be Mother thinking about me?”
