Chapter 336: To Get a Bigger Share of the Cake

After hearing Zong Sheng’s words, Li Xiaojun finally understood that his son had approached the Zong family for marriage using his identity as a Golden Immortal.

Zong Sheng came primarily to confirm Li Xiaojun’s identity.

Now that he had verified it, he considered the marriage between his daughter and Li Xiaojun’s son.

If Li Xiaojun hadn’t been a Golden Immortal, Zong Sheng would not have so easily agreed to marry his daughter to Li Xiaojun’s son.

Knowing this, Li Xiaojun wasn’t angry.

After all, it was his son who was using his identity; it was just leveraging his influence.

As a father, he should indeed put some effort into his son’s matters, but Li Xiaojun had too many children, so he didn’t feel much attachment to them.

Even the emperor of a mortal kingdom, with only a few dozen children, wouldn’t have deep feelings for those who weren’t important.

Let alone someone like Li Xiaojun, who had countless children throughout his life.

“Hongxia, I’m leaving your brother’s marriage arrangements to you,” he finally said, directly assigning the task to Liu Hongxia.

The Zong family had no objections to this.

Having a son of an Immortal was considered a significant achievement for the Zong family; they were fortunate enough to meet with him at all.

With the Zong family’s strong backing, soon, the young lady Susu was married into the Li family.

Li Minghao finally got what he wished for.

However, what Li Minghao didn’t know was that, thousands of miles away in the Chiu Water Kingdom, a young man spent a large amount of wealth purchasing land, becoming a well-known landlord.

In just one year, he began to marry wives and take concubines, ending up with one wife and over thirty concubines in no time.

Fortunately, all his wives and concubines came from ordinary rural backgrounds, so everything went smoothly.

This young man was, of course, one of Li Xiaojun’s sons.

In order to acquire more cultivation resources from his biological father, he was putting in a lot of effort.

Years of cultivation had taught him the importance of resources.

Without resources, even with great talent, he could only cultivate slowly, and it might take many years for him to break through to Earth Immortal, Celestial Immortal, or even True Immortal.

However, with resources, his cultivation speed could increase exponentially, giving him more time to enjoy life.

Resources, whether in the mortal world or the cultivation world, are incredibly important.

Furthermore, resource distribution has been well-established in both realms, making it extremely difficult to obtain large amounts of resources in regulated environments.

Now, all he had to do was have a child to gain abundant resources from his biological father—what could be better than that?

So, he was determined to succeed.

Many others shared his aspirations.

In another city, a young man directly used immortal essence stones to buy a position as City Lord, and he too began to marry wives and take concubines.

This person was also one of Li Xiaojun’s sons.

He spent immortal essence stones generously, not fearing others’ envy, because he had the backing of a Golden Immortal father. Whenever danger arose, he could simply call for his father’s help.

Moreover, with the defensive treasures gifted by his biological father, unless a True Immortal powerhouse took action, even a Heavenly Immortal would struggle to deal with him in a short time.

In such moments, he could easily call for his father’s support.

Of course, given the small amount of wealth he spent, he wouldn’t attract the notice of a True Immortal.

Additionally, he was in a mortal kingdom. Except for the Immortal Masters stationed there, most people were merely cultivators and not Immortals.

…

Of course, not all of Li Xiaojun’s children had things go smoothly.

One day, one of Li Xiaojun’s daughters fell for a man, only to have another young lady from a major family target her.

The young lady from the major family had already liked that man and was surprised to find a rival.

As for rivals, she usually dealt with them ruthlessly.

However, she never expected to encounter resistance.

The strongest ancestor of her family was only a late-stage Profound Immortal.

However, the woman she targeted had a father who was a mid-Golden Immortal.

In the end, Li Xiaojun personally visited the major family and negotiated a significant amount of resources before he departed.

From then on, that young lady never dared to target Li Xiaojun’s daughter again.

Quickly, Li Xiaojun’s daughter secured the man she desired.

In the entire Holy City of Nuwa, the most powerful force was the Mu Xingran family, with its strongest member, Mu Xingran, a late Golden Immortal known as the Great Ze Immortal.

Next was the Mo family, with an ancestor who was a mid-Golden Immortal.

Additionally, there were several families with early Golden Immortal members.

At present, Li Xiaojun was a mid-Golden Immortal and could rank in the second tier of the Holy City of Nuwa.

Thus, with Li Xiaojun’s mid-Golden Immortal level, he needed not fear any other family besides the Mu Xingran family.

Even the Mo family had to show respect to Li Xiaojun, let alone families led by ancestors of only late-stage Profound Immortal status.

Though there is only one level of difference between Profound Immortal and Golden Immortal, the gap between them is as vast as the sky.

The Human Race only has one Da Luo Golden Immortal, because once reaching this level, one’s lifespan can easily exceed one hundred billion.

The Da Luo Golden Immortal of the Human Race in the Kunlun Realm has survived since the dawn of the universe.

Then there are two Taiyi Golden Immortals, who have also lived for an incredibly long time, a result of eternal accumulation over time.

Only Golden Immortal cultivators represent regular top combat power in the Kunlun Realm.

There are just over one hundred Golden Immortal cultivators in the Human Race within the Kunlun Realm.

However, there have been countless Profound Immortals throughout history.

It is clear how challenging it is to break through to Golden Immortal status when you consider that over one hundred Golden Immortals emerged from such a vast number of Profound Immortals.

Thus, facing a mid-Golden Immortal like Li Xiaojun, a family with a late-stage Profound Immortal ancestor had to offer apologies and also restrain their young lady from pursuing the man she liked.

One day, while Li Xiaojun was in seclusion cultivating, Liu Hongxia used the system’s communication feature to inform Li Xiaojun of something important.

That was, Li Minghao, Li Xiaojun’s son, had unexpectedly been given a concubine by his wife, Susu.

“What happened?” Li Xiaojun asked in surprise.

Upon hearing Li Xiaojun’s question, Liu Hongxia replied irritably, “Isn’t it all for the rewards you promised?”

“Oh,” Li Xiaojun nodded, understanding.

He had set the rule for all his children: sons could have two million offspring slots, and daughters five million.

Each offspring was to receive a reward of one hundred million low-grade immortal essence stones or equivalent spiritual items.

Currently, Li Minghao had only Susu as his wife.

However, his brothers were having many children.

If this didn’t change, then in the future, Li Minghao’s share of resources from the two million offspring rewards would be the least of all.

After Li Minghao explained this to Susu, she became restless.

With so many of Li Minghao’s brothers desperately having children, and in a few years, their kids would multiply even more.

If she and Li Minghao waited to have children, by the time their child grew up, it would be too late.

Therefore, to secure a larger portion of the rewards, Susu decided to take action.

She directly took in over one hundred concubines for Li Minghao, most of whom were women from her family living in the mortal world.
