Chapter Seventeen: Dragon and Phoenix Twins

  At midnight when people were quiet, Long Ge began to test his own strength.

  First, the skin has been tempered through repeated trials and tribulations of small rain disasters, and its toughness has now reached the level of copperware. Not only has its toughness increased, but it has also become whiter. The current Long Song looks like a little white face on the surface!

  After repeated corrosion and repair, the bones have surpassed the level of copperware and are now at a lower level than silverware. In other words, Long Song can now use his hands to block copper-level weapons without getting hurt, and blocking silver-level inferior weapons would only cause skin injuries. This gain naturally made Long Song very satisfied.

  Only those who are willing to be hurt, willing to suffer, only those with real strength and great power can dare to do so. Therefore, Long Ge's gain is not even a bit lucky.

  Secondly, the change in Dou Qi, from Qi Dan 9th level to Qi Yin 1st level, has doubled the energy of Dou Qi! Twice the energy is already a lot, but the real gain is the breakthrough from Dan to Yin, which represents that in future battles, endurance will be even stronger. Because inside Long Ge's Dantian, there are many white energies, these energies are being absorbed by Qi Yin every second, every minute, which means that Long Ge's Qi Yin is helping him cultivate at all times. If you add Long Ge's own cultivation to this, it's like two people cultivating simultaneously, so the speed of cultivation increases by a factor of two.

  That's why people often say that breaking through from Dan to Yin is the dividing line for cultivation, because after reaching Yin level, the speed of cultivation greatly increases. Not only that, but in battle, when Long Ge consumes Dou Qi, not only does his own body recover, but also the Qi Yin absorbs white energy from the surroundings, making the energy replenished in the Dantian even more abundant. This is also the reason why high-level Qi Yin practitioners have long-lasting combat power.

  While Long Song absorbed the Golden Attribute Dou Qi, his cultivation speed had already become terrifying. Now, with the addition of the Qi Infant's cultivation, his future cultivation speed was truly unimaginable! However, for Long Song, the faster he cultivated, the better. His heart wasn't in this small mountain village; he wanted to go out and challenge the countless experts outside. Not only was it because he had a blood feud in this lifetime, but also because he had a strong warrior's heart. This unshakeable conviction drove him to continuously advance on his cultivation path.

  Finally, it's the application method of Dou Qi. The Metal attribute Dou Qi has reached the stage of Jin Hua Po Cui, which means to break through the enemy's defense from a single point and then attack; the Wood attribute Dou Qi is in the stage of Mu Xin treatment, which is sufficient for Long Ge at this stage, allowing him to continuously repair his injured body during battle. The Water attribute Dou Qi is still in the stage of Shui Di Bu Fa, having already reached a high level, and it's believed that it will soon advance to an even higher level; the Fire attribute Dou Qi is still in the stage of Huo Zhong Bao Zha; the Earth attribute Dou Qi is also in the stage of Tu Kuai Fang Yu. Overall, only the Metal attribute Dou Qi, due to being cultivated the latest, is still in the first stage of application (divided into ten stages, each with three levels: beginner, proficient, and mastery), while all other Dou Qi are in the second stage of application.

  Long Song was extremely satisfied with his self-analysis. With his current comprehensive abilities, he could completely fight against a master of the Nascent Soul stage.

  So, Long Song sat in meditation that night to consolidate his gains from crossing the Heavenly Tribulation.

  The following days were surprisingly calm, Long Song still practiced diligently every day, and after a month, he leveled up to Qi Yin Second Level; while Long Wu also worked hard to practice, because the breakthrough was about to begin, so after a month, he also broke through to Qi Yin Eighth Level. This speed made the village chief look envious, and he asked Long Song for an advanced fire attribute cultivation method (all of which were high-level methods that Long Song could remember). During this period, Xiaoyue also sat in meditation practicing water attribute cultivation methods. Everyone was cultivating calmly like this until two months later, on a day when Xiaoyue was about to give birth!

  "Is Mother going into labor?" Long Ge asked Long Wu, looking up at him.

  "Ah!" Long Wu's face was full of anxiety, although he had experienced the birth of Long Ge before, but now experiencing another one, still looked so anxious, "How come it's taking so long to give birth?"

  "How long?" The village chief estimated the time and said, "It's only been a short while, just the time it takes to drink a cup of tea! You're still an eighth-level Qi Pinn master, but you don't have any patience at all!" Now that the village chief can no longer beat Dragon Wu and his son in combat, he could still scold them verbally.

  "Don't worry, it's always hardest for a woman's first child. This is the second one, so it should be easier." The village head's wife comforted Long Wu.

  "I hope so!" Long Wu muttered to himself, but his feet didn't stop for a second.

  "Congratulations!" After about twenty minutes, the midwife finally came out, "Congratulations! It's twins, you can go in and take a look now!"

  "Twins!" Long Wu excitedly rushed in, and Long Ge also followed him running in.

  "Twins?" Village head Long Xiao teased from behind "Long Wu, you're really something! One shot and two birds with one stone!"

  "How dare you!" The village head's wife pinched him.

  "Heh heh! We'll also have a pair of twins!" The village chief smiled slyly at the village chief's wife.

  "It's crowded here, let's talk about it when we get home!" The village head's wife suddenly blushed.

  Long Wu saw the weak Xiao Yue who had just given birth, and lovingly stroked her cheek. Long Ge, on the other hand, looked at the twin brother and sister, a boy and a girl, who had just been born with their eyes still closed. From their facial features, the boy seemed to have a strong and resolute appearance, while the girl seemed delicate and pretty. Long Ge's small hands gently stroked their faces.

  "Thank you for your hard work," Long Wu said gently to Xiao Yue, "not only did you give birth to a genius like Long Ge, but also a pair of twins. It seems that our family is indeed prosperous!"

  "Hehe, as long as you can afford it, pamper me, and pamper them, having a few more doesn't matter!" Xiaoyue's pale face suddenly flushed with a healthy, captivating red color.

  Long Wu was so moved that he couldn't speak, and gently stroked Xiao Yue's hand.

  "Father, Mother, we haven't even given names to my younger brother and sister yet!" Long Ge reminded them from the side.

  "Oh!" Long Wu and Xiao Yue finally came back to their senses from each other's deep, affectionate gaze.

  "What's a good name?" Long Wu asked Xiao Yue.

  "The man gets up first, I get up second," said Little Moon cleverly.

  "That boy was born two months after the Dragon Song Heaven Tribulation, let's just call him Long Tian!" said Long Wu after a moment of thought.

  "Long Tian, Long Tian, what a great name!" Little Yue said excitedly. "Then the nickname will be called Tian Tian."

  "Uh-huh, okay, you name the girl." Long Wu said to Xiao Yue.

  "Uh, and your surname Long sounds too masculine, just follow mine, call yourself Murong Xiaomian." Little Moon said with a smile.

  Long Song was puzzled in his heart, Murong? My mother has never told me that I have any relationship with the Murong family.

  "Alright," Long Wu said with a smile, "Mu Rong Xiao Mian is such a nice name to hear, but in front of others, let's just call her Mu Xiao Mian instead, it's also a very nice name."

  "Father, why can't we call our sister Murong Xiaomian?" Long Ge asked in puzzlement.

  "Oh! I forgot to tell you, your mother is a princess of the Murong family. She was engaged to me when we were young, and at that time, she was still an infant, playing in our house with the elders of the Murong family. When our house was raided, the old servant took her away with him and hid her in this village where everyone has the surname Long. I've been calling your mother Little Yue all along because we were afraid others would find out, but actually, your mother's name is Murong Xiaoyue."

  "That year was the celebration of Long Wu's father's ascension to the throne, so our Murong family also sent someone, and I was taken along to deepen the friendship between the two families," Xiaoyue said with a hint of sadness as she looked at Long Wu. "However, the celebration of his ascension turned into his death after ascending to the throne, followed by our family being arrested... truly, man's plans are not as good as heaven's plans!"

  "Now on the surface, the Empire of Wood and the Empire of Dragon are still harmonious, but because of the house raid that killed my parents, the Empire of Wood has been waiting for an opportunity to attack the Empire of Dragon. Of course, these matters have nothing to do with me as a daughter." Little Moon said with a hint of helplessness.

  "Don't worry, Xiao Yue, with a genius like Long Ge, our family's feud will definitely be avenged." Long Wu said to Xiao Yue.

  "Yes, Father. From now on, I will personally kill Long Wudi to avenge Grandpa and Grandma, as well as my paternal grandparents!" Long Ge said with determination in his eyes.

  "I knew it, I said how could Longjia Village have such a handsome father like Long Wu and such a beautiful mother like Little Moon? It turns out one is a princess and the other is a prince!" Long Ge changed the subject to make his mother happy, because after just giving birth, she should avoid feeling sad, which would be bad for her health.

  "Haha!" Long Wu and Xiao Yue couldn't help but laugh happily "If we weren't the prince and princess, how could we have given birth to a genius like you?"

  "Haha!" Long Ge also burst out laughing and nodded vigorously, "Yes yes yes!!"

  Their laughter seemed to wake up the two babies, Long Tian and Mu Rong Xiao Mian, who also let out loud wails. Haha! Long Wu and others were busy coaxing the babies not to cry.

  For the next month, Long Wu basically stopped cultivating and accompanied Xiao Yue every moment, taking meticulous care of the two newborn babies. Meanwhile, Long Ge also took turns coaxing his younger brother and sister after his cultivation.

  After three months, Long Song upgraded again and reached the third level of Qi Infancy. It took a month to go from the first level to the second level, but it took four months for the second level to reach the third level. It seems that every subsequent upgrade will be extremely difficult.

  Long Song's current cultivation speed is super terrifying, to know that others spend forty years or even fifty years to cultivate to this level! And Long Song is not even five years old yet. If such a cultivation speed gets out, it's estimated that people will be scared to death. Moreover, Long Song's combat power is even more terrifying, with a feeling of almost reaching the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.

  Four months later, the child began to grow bigger and Long Wu also started practicing. Because Long Wu had just begun to practice his skills, the speed at which his aura increased was faster than that of Long Ge. This wasn't because Long Wu was more talented than Long Ge, but rather because it's always easier to start learning something new than to continue learning after a long time. For example, teaching an adult basic arithmetic is simple, but as you progress, it becomes increasingly difficult. After all, the forty years of aura accumulation that Long Wu had were still there, and after learning his skills, his aura would definitely increase rapidly, but in the future, he would definitely be slower than Long Ge.

  Long Tian and Mu Xiao Mian were five months old when Long Ge suddenly discovered that his younger brother and sister had innate Dou Qi in their bodies. What kind of Dou Qi did they have?
