Chapter 14: Lin Nian\’s Hostility

Lin De\’s visit was somewhat unexpected to Zhou Luo.

In the hall, Lin De sat at the head seat, and beside him were placed the cultivation resources he had brought this time.

Zhou Luo did not stand this time; instead, he sat on the right-hand side as Lin De indicated.

\"Good, good, you indeed did not disappoint me,\" Lin De said.

Lin De looked at Zhou Luo\’s appearance, his expression full of joy.

He had not expected that Zhou Luo would have made the women he arranged get pregnant so quickly.

It must be known that Lin Yi Yi and the other two were Carefully Selected by him.

Their status in his lineage was not high originally, and now that they were assigned by Lin De to Zhou Luo, they would still prioritize serving his daughter.

In this way, even if the three women gave birth to children, the children would ultimately remain in his lineage.

It must be said that Lin De, to expand his lineage, went to great lengths.

And Zhou Luo had not disappointed him.

Therefore, he came to visit personally, which was a rarity.

\"I am grateful for the family\’s generosity,\" Zhou Luo said humbly as always.

Lin De nodded in satisfaction, and after saying some polite words to encourage him, he mentioned the second purpose of this visit.

\"You don\’t need to rush the childbirth matter; take your time, as long as it doesn\’t interfere with your cultivation,\" he said.

Zhou Luo learning alchemy had reached Lin De\’s ears.

If Zhou Luo could truly rely on alchemy to be heavily cultivated by the family, he would naturally support it.

Moreover, he did not have a suitable candidate at hand, and he did not want the family to arrange one for him, which would weaken his daughter\’s influence.

Therefore, he changed his previous attitude.

Zhou Luo actually wanted to refuse in his heart.

He wished for the family to arrange more people for him, as that would give him more opportunities to win prizes.

But such matters were not his to decide.

So he did not refuse.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Lin De left.

Afterwards, naturally there were the family\’s rewards.

This time, the rewards were clearly not as generous.

It made sense; with so many sons-in-law, if lavish rewards were given for every pregnancy, the entire family\’s daily distribution would be affected.

But what Zhou Luo cared more about was cultivation in the spiritual vein.

By impregnating three women simultaneously, he could stay inside for a full three months.

When Lin Fu told him he could go, he eagerly went to the previous room and began his cultivation.

In the room.

Zhou Luo sat cross-legged on the prayer mat and began to recite the chant of the Spirit Gathering Technique.

Instantly, a shimmering spiritual light appeared on his body, forming a lightly hazy membrane on his skin. Simultaneously, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth began to converge towards him as the center.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth passed through the membrane, penetrated his skin, and entered his body.

With the help of the technique, this purified spiritual energy began to continuously nourish his body. Ultimately, after circulating for a Great Zhou cycle, it settled into the Qi sea.

Day after day passed.

Zhou Luo also constantly improved his cultivation during this tedious practice.

Originally only at the early stage of Qi Refinement Level One, he, with the assistance of the Spirit Gathering Technique, finally advanced to the Great Perfection Stage within three months, and was even on the verge of reaching the second level.

After three months had passed, Zhou Luo left the spiritual vein.

Returning home, at a glance, he saw Lin Qing Han, whose belly was large.

Perhaps because she was about to become a mother, the coldness on her face diminished greatly.

This time upon his return, Lin De had arranged only one woman for him.

And surprisingly, that woman turned out to be the maid, Xiao Lan.

As Lin Qing Han\’s personal maid, Xiao Lan was actually also a descendant of the family. However, because her branch had declined, she could only end up becoming a servant.

And her appearance wasn\’t bad, which is why Lin De took a liking to her.

Naturally, Zhou Luo had no objections to this.

In the evening, Lin Lan sat on the bed with anxiety in her heart. Her beautiful face revealed a complex emotion.

She reminisced about the scene of the first time she saw Zhou Luo.

At that time, she had inadvertently seen him completely naked. Back then, she had thought this son-in-law was extremely impolite.

Never did she imagine that now she herself would become his concubine.

Creak—

The door pushed open, Zhou Luo entered the room, and at a glance, saw the graceful figure on the bed.

Without saying much, he was about to blow out the candle flame.

Just then, a figure stealthily followed him in from outside the door.

Zhou Luo turned his head and saw Lin Yi Yi in a posture of shrinking her body.

\"What are you trying to do?\"

Seeing Lin Yi Yi looking like a thief, he found it somewhat amusing.

Having been discovered, Lin Yi Yi had to straighten her figure and said seriously with a small face, \"Xiao Lan has no experience; I\’m here to teach her.\"

Hearing these words, Lin Lan on the bed immediately blushed to her earlobes.

Zhou Luo said impatiently, \"Couldn\’t I teach her?\"

\"It\’s different. How about the three of us together tonight?\" Lin Yi Yi\’s beautiful eyes flashed with cunning.

Zhou Luo immediately saw through her little thoughts. His gaze involuntarily fell upon her slightly bulging abdomen.

\"You haven\’t returned for three months,\" Lin Yi Yi looked at him with an innocent expression.

\"Fine,\" Zhou Luo said helplessly.

\"Yay,\" Lin Yi Yi\’s face immediately broke into a happy smile.

Thus, what should have been his and Lin Lan\’s wedding night, because of Lin Yi Yi\’s arrival, became a night for three once again.

…

The next day, Zhou Luo did not practice, but directly went to Shouchun Garden.

In the alchemy room, Lin Zhi Shou had already been waiting a long time.

When Zhou Luo appeared, he said calmly, \"Practice is indeed important, but you can\’t delay this alchemy.\"

In his eyes, Zhou Luo, a Ninth Grade, even if he practiced for a lifetime, he would probably remain that way.

It was better for him to devote himself wholeheartedly to alchemy.

If he could achieve something in alchemy, it would be much better than hard cultivation.

\"Uncle Shou, you can rest assured, during this period I\’ve also been researching potions,\" Zhou Luo said.

\"Oh? Then let me see if you\’ve made any progress,\" Lin Zhi Shou uttered doubtfully, then spoke again, \"Xiao Nian, bring the medicinal herbs.\"

\"Alright, Grandpa Shou,\" Lin Nian replied nodding, as he walked toward the storage cabinet on the other side.

Standing in front of the storage cabinet, a cold glint flashed in the depths of Lin Nian\’s eyes, he scanned the medicinal herbs above and began selecting them.

Because of Zhou Luo\’s son-in-law status, Lin Nian as a member of the Lin Family had always despised him.

Especially after seeing this live-in son-in-law actually become Grandpa Shou\’s apprentice, it only increased his discontent.

In his eyes, someone like Zhou Luo deserved only to bear children for the Lin Family.

Now he even wanted to be on equal footing with him.

It was a huge insult to him!

But he clearly understood that Grandpa Shou appreciated him, so he absolutely could not openly do anything to him.

Yet that did not mean he planned to do nothing at all.

Now was the opportunity!

Earlier Grandpa Shou had already been somewhat displeased with this guy practicing for three months, if later he failed in his attempt again, it would definitely anger Grandpa Shou.

Once he lost Grandpa Shou\’s favor, he had a thousand ways to kill him off.

Thinking of this, a murderous intent flashed in Lin Nian\’s eyes, he deliberately added some low-quality herbs to the needed medicinal herbs.

He firmly believed that if there was even the slightest issue with these herbs, with that guy\’s skill level, he would surely fail in the refining.
