NOVPUBAt that moment,
Gu Qingfeng walked over.
Seeing the newcomer, Gu Yang hurriedly bowed, "Father!"
"How is Li Niang?"
Gu Qingfeng looked toward the tightly closed door of the side room, from inside which anguished cries could be heard.
Gu Yang shook his head, "No news yet!"
Having said this,
Gu Yang couldn’t help pacing back and forth again, his expression changing erratically.
Gu Qingfeng furrowed his brow and scolded sternly, "Such a flustered appearance is unbecoming!"
At these words,
Gu Yang’s expression became serious, and he no longer dared to pace back and forth. Even the anxious worry on his face diminished somewhat.
In the entire Gu Family Manor, the only person Gu Yang feared, or perhaps respected, was Gu Qingfeng.
Especially now that Gu Qingfeng’s cultivation had grown more profound, honing his Blade Intent in the Grinding Blade Hall, there was an indescribable authority about him that made people dare not look him directly in the eye.
Watching Gu Yang barely calming down, Gu Qingfeng was constantly looking at his own information panel.
This time,
was also a moment of verification.
Time trickled away.
Suddenly,
after a long silence, new text refreshed on the information panel.
"You have a new child born!"
Seeing this,
a gleam shone in Gu Qingfeng’s eyes.
"It really is possible!"
Just as this thought settled, the cry of an infant came from the side room; the midwife walked out with a face full of smiles, repeatedly bowing to offer congratulations.
"Congratulations to Master Gu, congratulations to Mr. Gu, the Young Madam has given birth to a precious daughter, both mother and daughter are safe!"
As soon as these words ended,
Gu Yang rushed straight into the room.
Gu Qingfeng, looking at the servant beside him, said indifferently, "Someone, reward a hundred taels of silver!"
"Many thanks, Mr. Gu!!"
The midwife’s expression brightened once again.
This was the benefit of dealing with a wealthy and noble household; if there were problems, one could hardly escape blame, but if things went well, the rewards were incredibly generous.
A hundred taels of silver.
For ordinary people, that would indeed amount to a lavish fortune.
...
The next day,
Gu Yang, holding a baby girl, came before Gu Qingfeng.
"I ask Father to bestow a name upon the child!"
Glancing at the infant before him, Gu Qingfeng smiled and said, "Let’s call her Shengnan!"
"Shengnan!"
"Gu Shengnan!"
Gu Yang murmured to himself, and then his face lit up with joy.
"Gu Shengnan, what a good name, thank you for giving her a name, Father!!"
"A child must wash and cultivate their genetic roots from an early age to develop excellent talents. You must remember this. Moreover, the higher a martial artist’s cultivation, the harder it is to produce offspring.
If possible, you should try to leave as many children as possible before breaking through to the Bone Refining Realm, in order to strengthen our Gu Family lineage!"
In the end, Gu Qingfeng offered another piece of advice.
With Gu Shengnan being included in the information panel, he had vaguely understood the true usage of this "Golden Finger."
```
Branching out.
Strengthening the family.
Currently, the Gu Family has only a few members; this advantage is temporarily imperceptible. But if the Gu Family lineage were to grow to hundreds or even thousands and tens of thousands of people, that would be rather terrifying.
Of course.
Right now, Gu Qingfeng couldn’t be sure whether this speculation was correct or not.
This matter would still need further verification.

Several days later.
In the backyard of the Gu Family Manor.
Gu Xuan and Gu Xiu, both with somewhat youthful faces, appeared here, unable to contain the excitement in their expressions.
When Gu Qingfeng arrived, the two of them performed a proper greeting.
"Father, we pay our respects!"
"Mm."
Gu Qingfeng nodded, his gaze resting on the two. 𝚗o𝚟pub.𝚌𝚘𝚖
Although they were only six years of age, they had sturdy builds far beyond their years, thanks to the constant genetic cleansing and steeping in Medicine Baths to refine their physiques. They could match even those several years their senior without any disparity.
"You are no longer young. Today, I will teach you the methods of Martial Arts cultivation. I hope you both grasp them well!"
"Yes!"
The two of them eagerly responded.
The path of Martial Arts captivated them both for some time, and seeing many in the Gu Family Manor possessing Martial Arts, they were itching to try.
Alas.
Gu Qingfeng had repeatedly commanded that they not cultivate Martial Arts before the appropriate age, so neither dared to defy the order, and no one in the Gu Family Manor dared to secretly teach them.
"This time I will teach you the Beginner Fist Skills of our Gu Family Manor, named Gu Family Boxing. Although this is not a top-tier Martial Arts technique, it can hone your foundation, allowing you to potentially go much further in the future!"
Gu Qingfeng spoke slowly.
The current Gu Family Boxing differed from the original.
This was because over the years, Gu Qingfeng had improved the technique, elevating a Martial Arts style that merely touched the threshold of Blood Refining to one that could stand shoulder to shoulder with top mid-tier Martial Arts.
The current Gu Family Boxing integrated the advantages of Gu Qingfeng’s perfect Refining Skin and Blood Refining Perfection into the technique.
Though the Gu Family Boxing was still unable to lead one to achieve perfect Refining Skin or Blood Refining, it could greatly compensate for the deficiencies in other cultivation techniques.
Without exaggeration.
If one could build their foundation on Gu Family Boxing, even if they could not cultivate the perfect physical body, their physique would approach perfection.
Gu Qingfeng believed.
The current Gu Family Boxing was truly among the elites within mid-tier Martial Arts—perhaps even stronger than the Fiery Sun Divine Palm of old.
The real advantage of the Fiery Sun Divine Palm was that upon reaching Blood Refining Perfection, it leveraged the Fierce Sun Palm Force to aid Martial Artists in actively refining their bones, thus passively entering the Bone Refining Realm.
Just this aspect alone made the Fiery Sun Divine Palm far surpass many mid-tier Martial Arts, with an importance that was significantly greater than that of an average high-tier Martial Arts.
However.
If discussing solely the foundation, the Fiery Sun Divine Palm was somewhat behind the Gu Family Boxing.
Seeing the excited look in the eyes of Gu Xuan and the other, Gu Qingfeng cut to the chase. He first explained the Heart Method Mantra and the breathing techniques of the Gu Family Boxing, ensuring the two could fully remember them, before he began to demonstrate the moves of the Gu Family Boxing.
After a short while.
After Gu Qingfeng completed a set of fist techniques, he intended to ask the two if they remembered it, but seeing their blank expressions, he simply shook his head, no longer bothering to ask, and patiently continued to practice the techniques.
Half an hour later.
The two had memorized the routine of the fist techniques and the corresponding Heart Method Mantra.
Regarding this.
Gu Qingfeng was quite pleased.
Setting other things aside.
For their first encounter with Martial Arts, they memorized a Martial Arts technique so quickly. Not to mention their genetic potential, just in terms of memory and comprehension, they were already much better than the average person.
"I just don’t know how long it will take for the two to truly step onto the path of Martial Arts!"
Gu Qingfeng watched the two earnestly practicing Gu Family Boxing and pondered inwardly.
