Family Cultivation: Many Children, Many Blessings

Chapter 1: Marrying and Having Children
"Chang Yue, don't you want to get married and have children? Come on, hurry up! The family just brought back a group of 'newcomers'. I'll take you there and see if I can pick out someone with good looks and spiritual roots first!"

The Immortal Cultivation World of Yu Kingdom, the Qingjian Lin Family.

Lingzhu Peak.

Lin Changyue heard a voice calling him from afar, came out of his meditation state, and walked over leisurely.

"Hurry up, don't be so slow. I heard that among the women brought back this time, many are 'immortal seedlings' with spiritual roots, and one of them has a seventh-grade spiritual root! This is a rare opportunity."

"If you go too late, there will be no place for you!"

A middle-aged male cultivator wearing a green robe and looking about forty years old urged.

Seeing Lin Changyue approach, the middle-aged male cultivator pulled out a palm-sized paper crane from his pocket. The crane was covered in crooked runes. He poured his mana into it, and the crane rapidly grew larger. The middle-aged male cultivator jumped on it first, sitting in the front, and Lin Changyue followed closely behind.

"Hold on tight, take off!"

The male cultivator made a hand gesture, and immediately a breeze blew by. The paper crane swayed and flew into the air. After rising to more than ten meters in the air, it flew towards the Feilai Peak not far away at a fast speed.

……

"In the blink of an eye, thirty years have passed."

Sitting on the paper crane, Lin Changyue looked at the lush green forest below and sighed inwardly.

When he was just one year old, his innate wisdom was awakened.

I thought that with the memories of my previous life on Earth, my spiritual roots, and the protection of my family, it should not be difficult to make a name for myself in this world of immortal cultivation.

indeed.

In the past few years, thanks to his precocious intelligence and willingness to work hard, he has been far ahead of his peers in the family in all aspects.

At the age of six, when other children in the clan were still ignorant and could not concentrate on their cultivation, Lin Changyue successfully refined Qi and became a cultivator of the first level of Qi Refining.

It caused quite a stir in the clan at the time, breaking the clan's earliest record of Qi refining.

But unfortunately...

On the path of cultivating immortality, you can't go far just by being smart or working hard.

The most important thing is qualifications!
Lin Changyue only has a low-grade spiritual root, and the worst ninth-grade spiritual root among the low-grade spiritual roots. His aptitude is too poor.

At the age of six, he was at the first level of Qi Refining; at the age of eleven, he was at the second level of Qi Refining; at the age of seventeen, he was at the third level of Qi Refining...

Now that he is over thirty years old, he is still stuck at the third level of Qi Refining and has been unable to break through to the fourth level.

Those who had not been as good as him in childhood, those who had only formally cultivated Qi at the age of seven or eight, or in their teens, had all surpassed him. Now, not to mention those in the middle stage of Qi cultivation, many of his peers had even reached the late stage of Qi cultivation.

Therefore, after practicing diligently for thirty years, working hard, struggling, and going out to seek opportunities, Lin Changyue completely accepted his fate not long ago.

There is no hope for him to become an immortal in this life.

Fortunately, although the Lin family was small, just a small, insignificant foundation-building family in the world of immortal cultivation, the entire family worked together. Lin Changyue had shown great talent as a child, and was highly anticipated and given special care, enjoying a lot of resources in advance. Later, he gradually became ordinary, and no one mocked or excluded him. Even his salary returned to normal without any deductions.

Just like his cousin Lin Changhong who came to ask him to choose a partner today, he has already reached the fifth level of Qi Refining. He was very kind to him when they were children and still takes care of him in every way now.

"Although getting married and having children is a helpless act, it cannot be done casually. If you can marry a woman with spiritual roots, your future descendants will have greater opportunities to have spiritual roots, and the family rewards will also be greater." Lin Changhong is seven years older than Lin Changyue, but he already has several wives and concubines, and his children are in the double digits.

However, there are only three people with spiritual roots, so the probability is not high.

However, thanks to his "merit" in expanding the family, Lin Changhong also received a lot of rewards.

Small families like the Lin family have always supported childbirth in order to maintain a prosperous population.

Especially if you give birth to offspring with spiritual roots, the rewards will be greater.

Therefore, the clan members practice quickly and can reach the late stage of Qi Refining and become foundation-building seedlings, which strengthens the strength of the family; they are willing to marry and have children, which also contributes to the prosperity of the family.

After all, theoretically, the more children you have, the higher the probability of a genius appearing.

Lin Changyue is thinking the same thing now.

Over the years, the family has provided him with many resources for his cultivation, and his clansmen have always cared for him, but he has given very little in return.

Now that you have given up unrealistic pursuits and faced reality, it is natural that you should get married and have children, and contribute to the prosperity of yourself and your family.

My spiritual roots are not good enough, but maybe some of the children I will give birth to in the future will have medium-grade or even high-grade spiritual roots?
It is naturally not difficult for a cultivator to marry. Even though the Lin family is just an inconspicuous foundation-building family, if a member of the family wants to marry an ordinary woman, it is very easy to do so, eight or ten or even more.

The difficulty lies in marrying a female cultivator who also possesses spiritual roots.

If both the man and the woman are cultivators, the possibility of their offspring having spiritual roots will be much higher.

Just like the Lin family, they bring two groups of 'newcomers' every year, both men and women.

However, a man must be a cultivator with spiritual roots to be eligible to marry a woman from the Lin family and become a son-in-law of the Lin family.

Most of the women are ordinary people, and only a small number are female cultivators with spiritual roots.

This was the first time for Lin Changyue to participate in such an activity. As a veteran, Lin Changhong had been explaining to him the techniques on how to easily impress the female cultivators who possessed spiritual roots.

Lin Changyue had no confidence in this, he knew his own limitations.

With ninth-grade spiritual roots and only reaching the third level of Qi training at the age of thirty-one, his lifetime achievements were already set. Even a female cultivator with the same aptitude as him would want to choose someone with better aptitude and greater potential. "If that doesn't work, then choose an ordinary woman, someone younger and prettier." After figuring it out, Lin Changyue felt much calmer.

Anyway, even an ordinary woman has the opportunity to give birth to offspring with spiritual roots.

At worst, I can just marry a few more girls and have more children!
In their previous lives, so many working people were burdened with hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars in mortgage and car loans, but they still dared to have children. What was there for him not to dare about?

After all, raising a child is not a problem. Even if the offspring does not have spiritual roots, the family will make proper arrangements. If they do have spiritual roots, the family will cultivate them from a young age!

"Don't get discouraged first."

Lin Changhong looked back at Lin Changyue's expression and knew that his cousin probably had little confidence.

His cultivation has not been going well, and his spirit has been worn away over the years, otherwise he would not have decided to get married and have children.

"This female immortal seedling with seventh-grade spiritual roots today has a connection with you. According to the information I received, she participated in the outer disciple trials of the Xuanbing Palace, but failed and was rejected. You are the only member of our Lin family who has trained in the Xuanbing Palace. If you bring this up later, she might be more favored by you..."

Lin Changyue not only did not gain confidence after hearing this, but became even less confident.

When he was seventeen, thanks to his early efforts, he broke through to the third level of Qi training. But at that time, he could already feel that his talent was too poor. If he did not have the opportunity, he would have no future if he stayed in the clan.

So he took advantage of his age and barely passed the assessment to become an outer disciple of the Xuanbing Hall of the Jindan Sect.

However, ten years later, because his cultivation had not improved and he was still stuck at the third level of Qi training, he was expelled from the sect and returned to the Lin family...

……

Lingzhu Peak and Feilai Peak are about ten miles apart. If you rely on your own legs to walk, the mountain path is rugged and it will take more than half a day to go up and down the mountain.

It is much easier to travel with Lin Changhong's paper crane. Although it is not fast, it can fly in a straight line in the time of an incense stick.

When they arrived at Feilai Peak, Lin Changhong led Lin Changyue straight to the place where the newlyweds were selected. After a simple registration, they entered the hall where the women were selected.

The newlyweds, male and female, are naturally separated.

"We are actually late. Someone has already made the selection! I hope the one with the seventh-grade spiritual root has not been chosen..." Lin Changhong was a little anxious and worried.

After entering the hall, the female 'newcomers' were divided into two groups.

There were more than thirty ordinary women without spiritual roots standing together, and most of them were young and beautiful, under twenty years old.

The other four women standing to the side were likely cultivators with spiritual roots. They weren't particularly old, probably in their early twenties, but one woman in green was a bit older, probably around twenty-six or twenty-seven, and her face and figure clearly showed a mature charm.

The steward introduced the woman in green as the most qualified candidate today. Her name was Su Yuejiao, and she possessed seventh-grade spiritual roots. Coming from the mortal world, she had been introduced to cultivation relatively late, and was only at the second level of Qi Refining. After failing the Xuanbing Hall selection, she was unwilling to return to the mortal world, and so she was recruited by the Lin family.

"Two tribesmen have come to choose just now. Both are interested in Su Yuejiao, but she didn't like her. This girl is probably quite ambitious..." the steward introduced.

Ordinary women have no room for choice, and once the Lin family members take a fancy to a woman, they can basically take her away smoothly.

But for female cultivators with spiritual roots, it is important for both parties to be in love with each other.

Lin Changyue felt it was even more impossible after hearing this.

The two clansmen who arrived earlier than him, although they were also at the third level of Qi Refining, were much younger than him and had better spiritual roots. This woman looked down on them, so how could she look down on him?

Lin Changhong had some inexplicable confidence in him, so he pulled him up to introduce him to the green-shirted woman, Su Yuejiao.

Upon hearing that Lin Changyue had passed the selection for outer disciples of the Xuanbing Palace, Su Yuejiao's eyes brightened a little, and she looked at Lin Changyue with admiration.

However, when she found out that Lin Changhong was no longer a disciple of Xuanbing Palace and was only at the third level of Qi Refining at the age of 31, the light in her eyes dimmed. Finally, she shook her head and politely apologized, saying that the two of them were not suitable for each other.

As expected, he had very high standards and was very arrogant, looking down on Lin Changyue.

Lin Changhong felt a little embarrassed and angry when he saw this, but Lin Changyue, who was mentally prepared, was much calmer.

It was just expected.

So he simply stopped paying attention to the other three female cultivators and walked straight towards a girl in yellow who he had already taken a liking to.

The girl's name was Huang Ying'er. She was eighteen years old, well-educated, spoke gently, and had a clean background.

Although Lin Changyue could take her away directly, he still had a brief conversation with her, exchanged information, and only held her hand after confirming that she was willing to go with him.

On the other side, Su Yuejiao also noticed Lin Changyue's actions. Although she had no intention of changing her mind, there was a hint of approval in her eyes.

……

After returning to Lingzhu Peak.

A simple banquet was held that day, and they changed into festive clothes. After drinking the wedding wine in the evening, Lin Changyue and Huang Ying'er entered the bridal chamber.

"Husband, please have mercy~"

"Ying'er~"

The moon is dark and the wind is strong, and the red candle is swaying.

Faintly, there was the sound of a shy bird chirping, its voice melodious and lingering.
