Oh no, I accidentally cultivated three spiritual roots and became an empress!

The mother and her two children stood there, the sun high in the sky, yet their longing remained unfulfilled.

Zhong Lingxin's grandfather and father exchanged a glance. They had been talking with this cultivator who claimed to be Zhong Lingxin's Uncle Xuanyuan for a long time, and they couldn't keep making him stand in the courtyard forever.

Several times, as soon as Zhong Lingxin's grandfather tried to interject, her grandmother waved him away and pushed him far away.

Zhong Lingxin chuckled and hurriedly called for her grandfather and father.

Then everyone moved into the main room and sat down.

In the days that followed, Zhong Lingxin enjoyed being surrounded by family affection.

She also successfully retrieved the guqin she had played as a child.

As soon as the guqin was in her hands, Zhong Lingxin could feel the phoenix zither and the guqin simultaneously emitting joyful melodies, as if they were old friends who had been separated for a long time.

Zhong Lingxin thought to herself, "Sure enough, my feeling was right. These two zithers have a very special history."

However, she still separated the two instruments, placing the Phoenix Qin in her dantian and the Guqin in her storage ring.

The spiritual energy here is too thin, so she plans to take out the two zithers and study them properly after returning to her sect.

Five or six days later, during a meal, Zhong Lingxin asked her grandfather and father if they had any plans to move.

She could tell that her family was satisfied with their current life, but she wasn't sure if they would be willing to move to a new place and start over.

Zhong Lingxin's grandfather's eyes lit up, and he asked in a trembling voice, "Is it possible? There are so many people in the family without spiritual roots."

Zhong Lingxin nodded and said, "My master said that there are many cultivation cities affiliated with the Qingyun Sect. Some of them have less spiritual energy and are not very hostile to mortals. Master can help arrange for us to move there."

Xuan Yuan continued, "Originally, your master could have owned three cultivation cities, but he was too lazy to manage them, so he didn't want them. It's still possible to arrange a cultivation city for you to live in by just giving the sect a heads-up."

The Zhong family was both surprised and delighted.

Happiness comes too suddenly.

They dream of moving to a cultivation city with a richer spiritual energy.

Entering such a large city, even the mortals of the clan will become much stronger and live several years longer. Those with pseudo-spiritual roots might even be able to activate their spiritual roots and become true cultivators.

But how will the family make a living if they move there so hastily?

After all, there are too many cultivators with high cultivation levels in the Great Cultivation City. If they moved there, they would be at the bottom. They can't trouble Xin'er with everything.

She's only at the Foundation Establishment stage.

If she bothers her master once or twice, that's fine, but if it happens too often, won't it annoy her master?

The Zhong family's hearts gradually grew cold.

Going to the Great Cultivation City is great, but it's not easy in reality.

Zhong Lingxin looked at the large family and smiled, "I've discussed it with Uncle Xuanyuan. When we go to the big city, we'll ask the city lord to arrange two leisurely jobs for our family members. That way, we'll have a steady income and be able to establish ourselves in the big city. I'll also buy a shop for the family. I'll occasionally send back some practice pills and magic weapons. You can just buy them from me at 80% of the market price. The family will also take stock of other businesses. Things will gradually get better."

Zhong Lingxin's grandfather's eyes lit up again. This time, he was so excited that his hands trembled: "Good, good, good. However, the money you used to buy the shop is a loan from the family. We must pay you back. We can't take it for free. Also, your pills and magic treasures will be sold at market price. If the Zhong family wants to go far, they can't think about being greedy and taking things for granted. Only by having a righteous heart can we stand tall and educate our descendants well."

Xuan Yuan nodded.

The Zhong family is good; no wonder they were able to raise such a good child as Xiaoxin'er.

Since Grandpa had put it that way, Zhong Lingxin had no objections.

On the contrary, she was proud to have such a family.

But she had another plan.

If she buys a shop for her family, it's considered a loan of spirit stones from them. But if she buys a shop for her parents, it's definitely a filial offering.

Fortunately, the harvest in the Tianyuan Secret Realm was good; I still had enough spirit stones to buy two shops.

Soon, Zhong Lingxin and her grandfather agreed to buy a shop with a small courtyard.

For now, let's all squeeze in.

Once the clan has developed well, we'll buy a large house.

Soon, the news that the Zhong family was going to move their entire household spread throughout Pingchuan City.

Zhong Lingxin's grandfather was extremely efficient. He quickly sold off the Zhong family's mansion and newly purchased shops at a low price and then took the whole family on Xuan Yuan's flying boat.

The Zhong family was unaware of Xuan Yuan's strength, but seeing that Zhong Lingxin treated him with great respect, they guessed that he was a powerful cultivator.

Therefore, the Zhong family treated Xuan Yuan with utmost courtesy and respect, and followed his arrangements throughout the journey.

Of course, with Xuan Yuan's oppressive aura, the journey was unimpeded, and all the demonic beasts concealed their tracks.

Two months later, Xuan Yuan led the Zhong family to a cultivation city called Minghe City.

Xuan Yuan told Zhong Lingxin, "This cultivation city is controlled by the Fan family. Their ancestor had a good relationship with your master."

The spiritual energy in this city isn't very strong; the highest level of spiritual energy in the city is the Nascent Soul stage, which belongs to their city lord.

There's a teleportation array in the city, so it'll be convenient for you to come back.

The city lord knows me; I'll just go and tell him.

Zhong Lingxin nodded, agreeing that this arrangement was the best.

With her current strength, she can barely bring her family into Qingyun City, and it will be difficult for her family members to gain a foothold.

Small towns like this are better.

When she has the ability in the future, she will bring the family to the big city.

Soon, City Lord Fan jogged over to greet Uncle Xuan Yuan, and knelt down and kowtowed three times upon meeting him.

Their ancestor lived in the back mountain of the Qingyun Sect and explained the sect's strength rankings to them in great detail.

Qingyang Venerable Saint is ranked number one and is the sect leader of Qingyun Sect.

Those of them who serve as city lords outside the city rely on three parts strength and seven parts personal connections, so they have to take good care of all the elders and patriarchs in the sect.

Xuan Yuan didn't waste any more time with him and simply explained that the Zhong family was coming to live in Minghe City.

Lord Fan was very perceptive and quickly understood what to do from Xuan Yuan's words.

He readily arranged two sinecure positions for the Zhong family members in the city lord's mansion: one to guard the warehouse and the other to be in charge of population registration. He also found two shops with courtyards for the Zhong family members in the bustling street; the larger one was for the Zhong family members to live in, and the smaller one was for Zhong Lingxin's parents to live alone.

Zhong Lingxin was extremely satisfied.

After ten years of development, the Zhong family has grown to nearly a hundred people, and their large courtyard is indeed crowded.

Zhong Lingxin originally wanted her grandparents and parents to live together.

But since her grandfather was the clan chief, it was better for him to live with everyone else.

After seeing that the Zhong family had made arrangements, Xuan Yuan took out two protective array plates to protect the two courtyards.

They also set up two fourth-grade spirit-gathering arrays for the Zhong family, which was more than enough for Minghe City.

With the help of the Spirit Gathering Array, Yin Susu finally activated her spiritual root and became a minor cultivator at the first level of Qi Refining.

With this beginning, she had hope of cultivating.

She was overjoyed. She would work hard to cultivate herself so that she could see her children go further and achieve greater things.
