Chapter 333: Unfair

“In the future, this will be our home.”

Li Xiaojun led everyone to the entrance of a manor labeled Li Mansion.

This manor featured an extravagantly arranged sixth stage protective immortal formation. If anyone had a cultivation level below the Golden Immortal Realm, as long as the immortal essence stones powering the formation were not exhausted, no one would be able to break through this formation.

However, despite its strong defenses, the formation consumed a significant amount of immortal essence stones every day. To keep it activated, it used up several hundred high-quality immortal essence stones daily.

But for Li Xiaojun, this amount of immortal essence stones was insignificant. He calculated his high-quality immortal essence stones in the hundreds of millions, and even the system couldn’t absorb them all in a short time.

“Dad, did you buy this? Will we live here from now on?” a woman asked Li Xiaojun.

Knowing her biological father was a Golden Immortal, even though she had never met him before, she now addressed him affectionately as Dad.

There was no choice; her biological father was too wealthy, and if she didn’t seize the opportunity, others would benefit instead.

“Dad, what will we do once we’re here?” another daughter also asked Li Xiaojun.

“From now on, you can do whatever you want. I will provide all your cultivation resources, but I have one requirement: expand the family tree. I need you to cultivate here, and for every child born in this Kunlun Realm, I will reward that person one hundred million low-grade immortal essence stones, or one fourth-tier spiritual item, or ten third-tier spiritual items…”

Li Xiaojun didn’t waste time and immediately offered terms that no one could refuse.

Sure enough, upon hearing Li Xiaojun’s words, everyone’s eyes sparkled.

These children of Li Xiaojun had all developed in the Cultivation Alliance. They had not visited the Immortal Realm or other secret realms, so the cultivation resources they obtained after becoming immortals came from their elder sister, Ziwei Great Emperor Li Ziwei.

While they trained in the Spirit Realm, they rarely received any immortal essence stones. Now, hearing that they could get abundant resources from their biological father just by expanding the family tree, most people felt tempted.

The only ones who were not tempted were Liu Hongxia and several others like Li Bai, as they had closer relations with Li Xiaojun and didn’t lack resources for their training.

“Is what you said true, Dad?” one of Li Xiaojun’s sons asked.

“Of course it’s true. As long as you can expand the family tree here, I promise to keep my word.”

Although the conditions Li Xiaojun promised were immense sums for these children, to him, they were just a tiny fraction of what he had.

He wasn’t even interested in low-grade immortal essence stones anymore; the lowest he had were medium-quality immortal essence stones.

If his children truly expanded their family tree here in the future, he would also use medium-quality immortal essence stones to reward them.

As for a child receiving a fourth-tier or third-tier spiritual item, that was even less significant.

Li Xiaojun had spent decades gathering herbs in the Land of Divine Fall, and he had plenty of spiritual items.

Currently, he had 67 eighth-tier spiritual items, 349 seventh-tier, over thirty thousand sixth-tier, hundreds of thousands of fifth-tier, and millions of fourth-tier spiritual items.

As for items below the third tier, they seemed scarce because Li Xiaojun hadn’t harvested those; however, if his children requested third-tier spiritual items later, it would be a bit tricky since he would need to trade fourth-tier items for third-tier ones.

Without counting the immortal essence stones, even the spiritual items he had on hand could allow his children to continuously expand their family tree and produce hundreds of thousands of new generations.

This small cost was incredibly easy for Li Xiaojun.

“Dad, can you buy me a manor as well?”

At this moment, Liu Hongxia asked Li Xiaojun with a cheerful smile.

Hearing Liu Hongxia’s request, Li Xiaojun simply rolled his eyes.

“If you want a manor, go buy one yourself.”

The prices of manors in the Holy City of Nuwa were so high; did she think he was some kind of money tree?

If he bought one for Liu Hongxia, would he then have to buy one for his son, Li Bai, too? And then if he bought one for Li Bai, wouldn’t he have to buy for the others?

If he bought for everyone, he would end up purchasing hundreds of manors.

It wasn’t that he couldn’t afford that many, but Li Xiaojun felt it was unnecessary.

He already had a manor with over a hundred cave dwellings, which was more than enough for everyone to stay.

“Cheapskate.”

Upon hearing that Li Xiaojun wouldn’t buy it, Liu Hongxia rolled her eyes again.

“Dad.”

At this moment, one daughter spoke to Li Xiaojun, “Dad, isn’t it hard for cultivators to have offspring?”

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaojun lightly replied, “That applies to others. You are my descendants; it’s different for you.”

While it was indeed more challenging for Li Xiaojun’s descendants to have children after becoming cultivators compared to ordinary people, it was still much easier than for other cultivators.

If the chances of other cultivators having children were one in ten thousand, then for Li Xiaojun’s descendants at the same cultivation level, the chance would be one in one hundred.

Therefore, Li Xiaojun wasn’t worried about his children expanding their family tree.

It would just take some time.

And for cultivators, the one thing they had plenty of was time.

Of course, out of his more than one hundred children, most were quite poor, except for a few like Liu Hongxia and Li Bai.

Only these children would actively want to expand their family tree for Li Xiaojun’s “huge” rewards.

After Li Xiaojun announced the task of expanding the family tree, he entrusted the rewards to Liu Hongxia, asking her to distribute them.

He gave Liu Hongxia hundreds of billions of medium-quality immortal essence stones and over ten thousand fourth-tier spiritual items.

He instructed her to distribute the rewards once her younger siblings had offspring.

Li Xiaojun also stipulated that the descendants expanding the family tree did not have to do it all themselves.

They could have one son, and that son could continue to have children, then the grandchildren would have children, and so on.

Of course, Li Xiaojun set a limit of not exceeding five million people.

If they surpassed five million, his burden would be significant.

Without limits, even if he offered all his resources, it wouldn’t be enough for the rewards.

So, whoever had more children would gain more resources.

However, after Li Xiaojun made these rules, the next day a group of daughters came to reason with him.

“Dad, this isn’t fair.” one woman said to Li Xiaojun.

“How is it unfair?”

“Dad, you should specify how many children your sons can have and how many daughters can have. That would be fair. Your sons could find a hundred women and have a hundred children at once, and then those hundred children could have ten thousand children, so in just a few generations, they would occupy most of the spots.

Meanwhile, we can only carry one child. No matter how hard we try, we can’t have many, so your rules are unfair.”
