Chapter 1: The Lin Family’s Son-in-Law
\"The disciple acceptance ceremony of our sect has ended. Those who have not entered the mountain gate, leave immediately!\"
At the Outer Sect square of the Qingyuan Sect, a middle-aged man in a blue robe said indifferently.
In front of him, hundreds of young boys and girls, their faces filled with bitterness, looked unwillingly at the dozen or so high-headed peers behind the man.
From now on, a chasm separated the two groups—one ascended to the heavens, while the other plummeted into the mortal world.
Qingyuan Sect disciples stepped forward and drove this group out of the mountain gate.
Everyone was disheartened, their faces sorrowful.
They knew that without having pledged themselves to the Immortal Gate, even with spiritual roots, they were likely no different from ordinary mortals in this lifetime.
In the crowd, however, one person appeared, his face slightly pale, yet he did not lose composure.
That was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old youth, dressed in simple clothes, his eyes remarkably clear. Silently, he strode out of the mountain gate without turning his head.
The youth was named Zhou Luo.
Like most of the people there, he was a fortunate individual who possessed spiritual roots.
The difference was, he was also a transmigrator.
Just a few days earlier, he had inexplicably entered this world of cultivation.
And absentmindedly, he got selected to participate in this sect\’s disciple acceptance ceremony.
Sadly, he did not shine brilliantly like the protagonists in the exciting novels from his previous life.
Instead, due to his spiritual roots being the lowest Ninth Grade, he got eliminated.
Before he knew it, Zhou Luo had reached the mountain\’s base.
To his surprise, the disciples who had left earlier had not scattered; instead, they gathered in one area.
A banner reading \"Generous Rewards Seek Talent\" was erected there, drawing a large crowd of the just-eliminated boys and girls.
If they could not join the Immortal Gate, choosing a decent cultivation force was still a good option.
Cultivation emphasized wealth, partners, techniques, and land. If others provided these four, who would want to become a drifting loose cultivator?
So, Zhou Luo walked over.
Drawing near the crowd, he saw a middle-aged man, resembling a steward, loudly promoting an offer.
\"Everyone, do not hesitate! Join our Lin Family, and you can enjoy spiritual veins, as well as secret cultivation techniques!\"
The Lin Family.
Subordinate to the Qingyuan Sect, it was a long-life family ruling Maple Leaf City.
Since it leaned on the sect and controlled a city, the Lin Family\’s strength was unquestionable.
At that moment, under the man\’s promotion, many disciples felt inspired and wrote their names on the registry without hesitation.
What puzzled Zhou Luo was…
They actually recruited only men!
However, Zhou Luo still wrote down his name.
If there was a chance for cultivation and Changsheng, who would be willing to miss it!
Soon, the registration ended, and over forty young men chose to join.
Seeing this, the steward grinned as he took out a palm-sized boat from his bosom and dropped it on the ground.
With a flash of spiritual light, the boat suddenly enlarged.
It caused a wave of exclamations from the people present.
Flying boat.
This was an invaluable flying treasure; they hadn\’t expected the Lin Family to be so extravagant.
It was truly worthy of the long-life families.
Seeing such sincerity from the Lin Family.
For a moment, those who had initial doubts all dropped their guard.
The group leaped into the flying boat and, under the steward\’s control, flew straight to the Lin Family mansion.
The Lin Family mansion was situated in the center of Maple Leaf City.
Looking down from above, they saw countless ancient buildings linked together, shimmering with dots of spiritual light, like brilliant stars in the night sky, incredibly awe-inspiring.
The flying boat landed, and everyone came to a spacious courtyard.
In the courtyard, someone had been waiting for a long time.
In front, a woman in an emerald green long skirt gazed at the arriving crowd with a light laugh, her beautiful eyes flashing: \"This batch of son-in-laws is somewhat better.\"
Her voice reached the ears of these young men, instantly causing a commotion.
\"Son-in-law? What does that mean?\"
\"Aren\’t we here to cultivate with the Lin Family?\"
…
In the crowd, Zhou Luo\’s face slightly changed color.
\"Oh no! It seems… we\’ve been deceived!\"
\"Silence!\"
Just then, that smiling steward suddenly turned stern and shouted to quiet everyone.
The emerald-skirted woman leisurely walked over: \"Starting today, you are now the son-in-laws of our Lin Family.\"
At these words, confusion turned to shock on everyone\’s faces; they looked at each other, growing pale.
None had expected it.
That they came to the Lin Family to be son-in-laws.
Originally, they thought they were coming to cultivate at the Lin Family and become Lin Family disciples in the future.
The gap between before and after was huge.
The nicer way to put the former was son-in-law, but the blunter way was stud.
In the cultivation world, there was an unwritten rule.
That was, some long-life families, to extend the family\’s future, would recruit people with spiritual roots to have offspring for the family.
Because those with spiritual roots were more likely to produce children with spiritual roots.
If it were just an ordinary union, that might be fine…
But everyone knew.
To improve the chance of producing high-quality descendants, these long-life families made these people engage in activities to make children day and night, even with one-to-many situations.
This undoubtedly drained these people\’s cultivation potential, totally ruining their path to becoming immortals.
Therefore, no one would willingly become a breeding husband.
Hearing this, someone immediately flushed crimson and roared: \"You\’re deceiving us!\"
Facing the accusation, that woman chuckled and said: \"Are we? Didn\’t you agree to join our Lin Family?\"
At this, everyone was instantly speechless.
Her words weren\’t wrong, but if they had known from the start that it meant becoming breeding husbands, who would have agreed?
One person still displeased, he angrily snapped back: \"I never guessed your Lin Family could be so despicable; I\’m leaving.\"
Saying that, he turned and started walking toward the outside.
Boom—
At that moment, a flash of light streaked across the sky.
That person was instantly hit and collapsed into a pool of blood.
The steward who struck gazed coldly at the crowd: \"Dare to insult the Lin Family? Die!\"
Everyone was horrified.
\"Relax, as long as you produce forty offspring with spiritual roots in ten years, you can still leave,\" the woman said, sizing them up.
Gasp—
Forty in ten years, and they must have spiritual roots!
That number completely treated them as no longer human!
In that instant, it was as if everyone fell into an icy pit.
Amid the crowd, Zhou Luo also had a slight change in his expression.
He never thought that as an actual transmigrator, he would face such a thing…
This meant he might die of exhaustion any day now.
The key was, right now he was like fish on a chopping board, a lamb awaiting slaughter, with no way to resist!
Zhou Luo was full of helplessness.
Was he going to become the first transmigrator in history to die from breeding?
After a series of complex screenings…
Zhou Luo, relying on his handsome looks and a few superior qualities, was chosen for the \"prime\" group.
In this group, there were only eight people.
At night…
After bathing and changing clothes, Zhou Luo was led by two Maids to a room.
This was clearly a lady\’s boudoir, and the air had a lightly scented aroma.
Sitting on a chair with a mixed expression, he was brimming with resignation.
With things at this point, escape was out of the question; anyway, once the lamp was blown out…
For now, he could only hope the other party didn\’t have any peculiar preferences.
Just as his heart was in a whirl, a voice suddenly sounded outside the door.
\"Qing Han, for the great endeavor of the family, this is your duty…\"
Push—
Before he could catch it all, the door was thrust open suddenly, and a graceful figure walked into the room.
Zhou Luo instinctively raised his head to look.
A stunning flawless face came into view.
She was in a white long dress, with a tall figure and fair skin.
On her pretty features, a pair of bright eyes also gazed toward Zhou Luo.
Zhou Luo then felt his eyes brighten—this was actually a breathtaking beauty!
The thought in his heart of being a lamb for slaughter vanished completely in that second.
