The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

"Mom, why are you here?"

Su Zihou ran over in surprise, but didn't even have time to see his master.

Mother Su stood up, took her son's hand, and said with a smile: "I came to see you and tell you something."

Then, she pointed to the young woman beside her and said, "This is your cousin Lin Wanqing."

Then he said to the woman, "Wanqing, this is your cousin Su Zihou."

Su Zihou looked at his cousin.

Lin Wanqing, who has reached the eighth level of Qi training, is wearing a pink dress and a headband of the same color. She looks dignified but reveals an indescribable sense of gentleness.

Especially those pair of sparkling eyes, which reveal a deep affection when looking at people.

Su Zihou took a quick look, then quickly lowered his eyes and bowed as if he were his equal, "Hello, Cousin Lin!"

"Hello, cousin Su!" Lin Wanqing bowed gracefully, but she performed the half-squatting bow that is now popular among the women of wealthy families.

Su Zihou saw that his mother always had a smile on her face, which showed that her coming to the sect to see him was not because something bad had happened in the family.

Now that I am relaxed, I have time to come and visit my master.

He bowed to the Master Qingxuan who was sitting at the head of the table and said with a smile, "Master, I have brought you some fine wine."

After saying that, he took out the spirit wine from the storage bag.

True Man Qing Xuan was delighted, but he complained, "It's just a jar of wine, but the shouting is heard all over the peak, making your master look like a drunkard. Come on, your mother has been waiting for you for a long time, go and keep her company."

Seeing that his mother brought some cousin with her, and that she was not here to become a disciple, Su Zihou already had a bad feeling in his heart. He looked at his master with pleading eyes, "Master, I..."

True Man Qingxuan naturally understood what his disciple wanted, but he was powerless to help.

When Su Zihou was diagnosed with dual spiritual roots, the Su family refused to release him. Su Zihou's parents argued, insisting that Su Zihou enter the Juxian Sect without offending True Man Qingxuan. The Su family ultimately relented, agreeing to let him enter the sect on the condition that Su Zihou marry a Taoist partner and continue the family line.

Su Zihou had no interest in a Taoist partner. He even refused the verbal engagement between True Man Qingxuan and Junior Sister Sun's master. How could he agree to his family arranging a Taoist partner for him?

Until now, under the urging of the family elders, Su's mother had to bring the female cultivator chosen by the family for marriage to the Juxian Sect to meet her son.

The master did not help, so Su Zihou had no choice but to take his mother and the so-called cousin out of the hall.

As soon as they left the hall, Mother Su pointed to a group of cranes flying or playing among the rocks not far away and said to Lin Wanqing, "Xiaoqing, those cranes over there are quite interesting. Do you want to go over and take a look?"

Lin Wanqing understood that Su's mother had sent her away so she could discuss marriage with Su Zihou. She responded and obediently walked over to enjoy the scenery.

As expected, as soon as she left, Mother Su couldn't wait to ask, "How is it? Is this Taoist partner chosen by the family for you pretty enough?"

Su Zihou said helplessly: "Mom, I've already said that I don't want to find a Taoist partner."

Mother Su's face darkened. "Just because you say you don't agree to this matter, can you disagree with it? As a member of the Su family, it is your obligation to expand the Su family and have descendants.

Besides, this was the condition that the family agreed upon for you to enter the Juxian Sect and become Qingxuan Zhenren's disciple. Your master didn't object. Moreover, the family has chosen such a beautiful woman for you this time. What else can you refuse?"

Su Zihou said helplessly: "Mom, I want to focus all my energy on cultivation. Finding a Taoist partner will only delay my cultivation, right?"

Mother Su patted his arm and said comfortingly, "After you and Wanqing get married, as long as Wanqing gets pregnant and gives birth to a child, your mission will be completed. You can still concentrate on your cultivation in the future without missing out on anything."

After hearing his mother say this, Su Zihou felt a little sympathy for Lin Wanqing.

Indeed, as his mother said, he only needed to make Lin Wanqing pregnant and give birth to a child with Su family blood, and his mission would be accomplished.

But what about Lin Wanqing?

When a female cultivator becomes pregnant, she is essentially using her own essence and blood to nourish the fetus. It's good enough if she can maintain her cultivation without regressing. How can she continue cultivating? After the child is born, she has to feed and raise it. How can she then devote herself to cultivation?

This delay could be several years.

Besides, he is a man with flesh and blood, thoughts and feelings. If he really gets married, can he really just ignore his wife and children?

Just like his parents, who insisted on sending him to the Juxian Sect so he could advance in cultivation, when he had his own children, wouldn't he also need to accumulate resources for them and help his wife improve her cultivation and prolong her life?

By then, how could he devote all his energy to his own cultivation?

He broke down all his concerns and told them to Su's mother, but in the end, Su's mother just said one word and all his reasons were useless.

Mother Su: "This was the condition when our family agreed to let you become a disciple of the Juxian Sect. If you don't agree, what will happen to your father and I?"

Su's father and mother still have to live in the Su family, and he has to consider his parents.

Su Zihou had no choice but to say, "Mother, you and Cousin Lin can stay in the sect for a few days while I think about it."

Su's mother didn't want to force her child too much, so she agreed.

The inner disciples all had their own independent small courtyards. Su Zihou let his mother and Lin Wanqing live in his own courtyard, while he fled his own residence on the pretext of looking for his master and reporting something.

Su Zihou thought about it and decided that relying on his master was not enough to solve this problem. After all, when he first became his disciple, his parents had told his master about the family's conditions, and his master had agreed.

This problem can only be solved if an ancestor or the head of the sect comes forward to put pressure on the family.

But what bargaining chips can I use to threaten any ancestor or leader?

Su Zihou thought of the money-making idea proposed by Xiao Han, which was to develop a personal flying vehicle that could also be used by Qi-cultivating monks, and he immediately had an idea in his mind.

The reason why the Juxian Sect rarely recruits disciples on a large scale is because there are often people with connections who send people in, or those Yuanying ancestors and Jindan Zhenren bring in the descendants of their relatives and friends to add fresh blood to the sect.

However, those who come in will still be divided into inner and outer sects according to their spiritual root qualifications, so the sect’s management will not be disrupted due to the large number of people with connections.

Su Zihou was going to ask his master to get Li Moyun into the sect. It wasn't that he didn't want to bring Xiao Han in as well, but the sect simply wouldn't accept older cultivators because it was difficult to cultivate a sense of belonging and loyalty in them.

Li Moyun was able to come in because of his talent for refining equipment, which made him a technical talent. In addition, he had the recommendation and guarantee of someone with sufficient influence, which made it possible.

As long as Li Moyun entered the sect, it would be much easier for him to further learn refining equipment.

Once Li Moyun develops his personal aircraft, he will have the bargaining chip to negotiate with the Yuanying Patriarch.

Because the boss behind the largest shop in Xinyue City, Mibao Pavilion, is Lingxu Zhenjun, one of the Nascent Soul ancestors of the Juxian Sect.
