Chapter 220: Encouragement
"No need for formalities!" Li Xiaojun waved his hand, lifting all the kneeling people up.
"Ancestor…"
Except for the children, everyone looked at Li Xiaojun with eyes full of admiration and respect.
"Are you here to pay respects to the graves?" Li Xiaojun asked, knowing the answer.
"Yes, Ancestor," a middle-aged man at the front quickly replied.
"Mm." Li Xiaojun nodded.
He used the Swallowing Heaven Technique to check everyone’s talents.
He discovered that among this group, there were indeed a few with cultivation talent.
Moreover, these individuals had practiced techniques.
He then focused his gaze on those with talent.
"Those few must be the ones who married into the family, right?" Li Xiaojun lightly inquired.
"Yes, yes, Ancestor," the elder nodded quickly.
The people Li Xiaojun looked at were women from top families in the capital who married into the family, as well as sons-in-law and grandsons-in-law from those marriages.
Confirming his suspicion, Li Xiaojun scanned the crowd and said lightly, "Since you have become a close-knit family group, live well together. It would be best to have two children quickly, as the path of cultivation becomes increasingly difficult as you have children. I do not want to see those with ulterior motives taking advantage of my brother’s descendants; do you understand?"
Li Xiaojun cautioned the wives and sons-in-law of the Third Family.
From the start, he noticed that the women married into the Third Family and the sons-in-law who married the Third Family’s daughters appeared reluctant, both in expression and in heart.
They were born into wealth and never imagined they would marry ordinary people or take ordinary women as their wives, even knowing that their partners had an exceptionally powerful ancestor. Despite this, their mindset remained high and aloof.
Li Xiaojun recognized this, which prompted him to issue a warning to the group.
Although these individuals were merely his brother’s descendants and he had no deep feelings for them, he was willing to lend a hand.
Hearing Li Xiaojun’s warning, the expressions of the wives and sons-in-law changed.
Though they had heard of Li Xiaojun’s status and had received stern warnings from their elders not to offend him, being directly cautioned by the person involved made their feelings very uncomfortable.
However, no matter how displeased they felt, they dared not show it.
After all, they still vividly remembered the time when countless upper-class families and government officials in the capital were purged.
Seeing their discontent, Li Xiaojun could not force them to express agreement.
After all, even if they claimed to agree verbally, it was of no use if their hearts thought differently.
So, after some contemplation, Li Xiaojun lightly addressed the group, "How about this: If you manage to have one child, I will help you break through to the Foundation Establishment stage. If you have two children, I will assist you in reaching the Golden Core stage."
Since he could not compel them, temptation was the only option left.
Helping these people make a breakthrough in their cultivation level was still simple for Li Xiaojun.
In his system space, he had all sorts of beast tribe meat, rare treasures, and elixirs in various grades.
Many of these things required various fortuitous encounters to obtain, but now, they only needed to have children with their wives and husbands to easily gain them.
Hearing Li Xiaojun’s words, all the wives and sons-in-law with spirit roots suddenly brightened their eyes.
"Ancestor, is this true?"
A Liu family wife looked at Li Xiaojun with sparkling eyes.
"Of course it’s true. I, your ancestor, would never deceive you juniors."
"You may not know the extent of my power, but let me show you."
Li Xiaojun said as he focused on a nearby mountain not far away.
He reached out his hand.
In the next moment, a gigantic hand appeared before everyone.
With a gentle grasp, a thunderous sound echoed, shaking the ground and mountains.
Quickly, the giant hand effortlessly lifted a mountain into the air.
Seeing this scene, everyone gasped in awe, their eyes wide open.
Even the children stared, mouths agape in surprise.
After a moment, Li Xiaojun waved his hand, and the mountain was gently set down.
"Do not doubt my strength as your ancestor. When you have children, you can come to Shacheng to find my daughter," Li Xiaojun pointed to Liu Hongxia and continued, "She will help you break through to the Foundation Establishment or Golden Core stages as I instruct."
"Of course, I advise you to have children before reaching Foundation Establishment, as it becomes very difficult to have children afterward."
Upon hearing Li Xiaojun’s words, a granddaughter-in-law from the Sun family quickly asked, "Ancestor, if my husband and I have three children, or even several, can you help me break through to the Nascent Soul stage?"
At this, Li Xiaojun’s expression turned stern as he addressed everyone, "You should understand my intent. I do not want you to see having children as a transaction with me. What I want is for you to fulfill your responsibilities as a wife or husband after marrying into this family, to be filial to the elders, friendly to relatives, and to be a qualified spouse—this is what I hope you understand."
"Additionally, I can provide you with some cultivation resources. As for the level you can reach in cultivation, that still depends on your own efforts…"
At Li Xiaojun’s words, everyone whom he had scolded lowered their heads.
"Alright, you may go worship now. We need to leave," Li Xiaojun said, waving his hand to the group.
"Farewell, Ancestor."
Under everyone’s gaze, Li Xiaojun flew into the sky with his close-knit family group and quickly disappeared before their eyes.
Seeing Li Xiaojun vanish, many present finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Xiaojun’s stern words had weighed heavily on many people’s minds.
At this moment, the elder at the front looked at all the wives and sons-in-law and said, "Did you hear what the ancestor said? Do not assume that just because you are the young ladies or young masters from the capital, you are better than others. The ancestor is concerned for our family. As long as you live well, your rewards in the future will not be lacking…"
Hearing the elder’s words, no one spoke, but their attitudes became much more sincere, losing the arrogance they had before.
It was clear that the ancestor’s admonishment had a significant effect.
Previously, they thought marrying into the Chen, Liu, and Sun families or marrying women from these families meant the families were elevating them.
However, now it seemed that marrying into these families was their own elevation.
With such a powerful ancestor looking out for them, they believed that soon, the three families would become one of the top major families in Huaxia.
And as the wives and sons-in-law of the three families, as long as they lived well, they could become some of the top figures in Huaxia.
Yet, even if they envisioned a grand future, they could not imagine that Huaxia was destined to unify the entire Earth someday.
At that time, they would not only stand at the top of Huaxia but also at the pinnacle of the world.
