1: Lin's Son-in-law

“The Sect’s Disciple recruitment ceremony has concluded. Those who have not entered the Sect must leave immediately!”

On the Outer Sect square of Azure Origin Sect, a middle-aged man in a green robe spoke with an indifferent expression.

In front of him, hundreds of young men and women looked bitter and unwillingly gazed at the dozen or so peers behind the man who held their heads high.

From this day forward, a chasm would separate the two; one would ascend to the heavens, while the other would fall into the Mortal world.

The Azure Origin Sect Disciples stepped forward one after another, driving this group of people out of the Sect.

Everyone was crestfallen, their faces filled with sorrow.

They knew that without entering the Immortal Sect, even with a Spiritual Root, their lives would likely be no different from that of a Mortal.

Among the crowd, there was one person whose face was slightly pale, but he did not lose his composure excessively.

He was a young man of seventeen or eighteen, dressed in simple clothes, but his eyes were exceptionally clear. He silently walked out of the Sect without even looking back.

The young man’s name was Zhou Luo.

Like most people present, he was also a lucky individual with a Spiritual Root.

The difference was that he was also a Transmigrator.

Just a few days ago, he inexplicably arrived in this world of Cultivation.

And then, he was inexplicably chosen to participate in this Sect’s Disciple recruitment ceremony.

Unfortunately, he did not shine brightly like the protagonists in those satisfying novels from his previous life.

Instead, he was eliminated because his Spiritual Root grade was only the lowest, “Ninth-Grade.”

Unconsciously, Zhou Luo had already reached the bottom of the mountain.

To his surprise, the Disciples who had left earlier did not disperse but gathered in one area.

In that area, a flag reading “Talent Wanted for Heavy Rewards” was erected, attracting a large number of young men and women who had just been eliminated.

If one could not join an Immortal Sect, choosing a good Cultivation force was also a good option.

Cultivation emphasizes wealth, companionship, techniques, and land. If others could provide these four, who would want to be a Loose Cultivator, like a rootless duckweed?

So, Zhou Luo walked over.

Approaching the crowd, he saw a middle-aged man who looked like a steward, loudly promoting something.

“Everyone, don’t hesitate! Join my Lin Family, and you can enjoy a Spirit Vein Blessed Land, and even Cultivation Secret Manuals!”

The Lin Family.

It belonged to the Azure Origin Sect and was a Immortal Family that governed Maple Leaf City.

Backed by the Sect and controlling a city, the Lin Family’s strength was beyond doubt.

At this moment, under the man’s promotion, many Disciples were moved and unhesitatingly wrote their names in the registration book.

What puzzled Zhou Luo was…

They only recruited males!

However, Zhou Luo still wrote down his name.

If there was a chance for Immortal Ascension through Cultivation, who would miss it!

Soon, the registration ended, and a total of more than forty young men chose to join.

Seeing this, the steward smiled and took out a palm-sized small boat from his embrace, then threw it on the ground.

With a flash of spiritual light, the small boat suddenly grew larger.

This drew gasps of surprise from everyone present.

A flying boat.

This was an invaluable flying treasure; he didn’t expect the Lin Family to be so extravagant.

Truly worthy of being a Immortal Family.

Seeing the Lin Family’s sincerity,

all those who had previously harbored doubts immediately lowered their guard.

The group jumped into the flying boat, and under the steward’s control, it flew directly towards the Lin Family mansion.

The Lin Family mansion was located in the center of Maple Leaf City.

Looking down from above, one could only see countless ancient buildings connected together, shimmering with faint spiritual light, like dazzling stars in the night sky, incredibly stunning.

The flying boat landed, and everyone arrived in a spacious courtyard.

Within the courtyard, someone had already been waiting for a long time.

In front, a woman in a long emerald-green dress lightly smiled as she surveyed the arriving crowd, her beautiful eyes sparkling: “This batch of live-in sons-in-law seems quite good.”

Her voice fell into the ears of these young men, instantly causing a stir.

“Live-in sons-in-law? What does that mean?”

“Aren’t we here to Cultivate in the Lin Family?”

…

Among the crowd, Zhou Luo’s expression slightly changed.

“Oh no! It seems… I’ve been deceived!”

“Silence!”

Just then, the smiling steward suddenly turned cold and shouted at everyone.

The woman in the green skirt slowly walked over: “From today onwards, you are all live-in sons-in-law of my Lin Family.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the bewildered faces of the crowd showed expressions of shock. Everyone exchanged glances, their faces slightly pale.

No one had expected it.

They had come to the Lin Family to be live-in sons-in-law.

They had originally thought they were just coming to the Lin Family to Cultivate and would become Lin Family Disciples in the future.

The difference between the two was too vast.

The former, to put it nicely, was a live-in son-in-law; to put it less nicely, it was a stud.

In the Cultivation world, there was an unwritten rule.

That is, some Longevity Families, in order to perpetuate the Family’s future, would recruit individuals with Spiritual Roots to bear offspring for the Family.

This was because people with Spiritual Roots were more likely to produce children with Spiritual Roots.

If it were just a simple union, that would be one thing…

But everyone knew.

In order to increase the probability of giving birth to high-quality descendants, these Longevity Families would make these people engage in procreation activities day and night, even leading to one-to-many situations.

This would undoubtedly drain these people’s Cultivation potential, completely severing their Ancient Path to Immortality.

Therefore, no one would willingly become a live-in son-in-law.

Upon hearing this, someone immediately shouted, his face flushed: “You are deceiving people!”

Facing the accusation, the woman smiled: “Am I? Didn’t you agree to join our Lin Family?”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was speechless.

What she said was true, but if they had known from the beginning that they would become live-in sons-in-law, who would have agreed?

Someone was still dissatisfied, and he angrily retorted: “I didn’t expect your Lin Family to be so despicable. I want to leave.”

With that, he turned to walk outside.

Boom—

Just then, a flash of light streaked across the sky.

The person was instantly struck and fell into a pool of blood.

The steward who made the move looked at everyone coldly: “Dare to insult my Lin Family, die!”

Everyone was terrified.

“Don’t worry, as long as you can produce forty children with Spiritual Roots within ten years, you can still leave,” the woman said, surveying the crowd.

Hiss—

Forty in ten years, and they must have Spiritual Roots!

This number completely treated them as less than human!

For a moment, everyone felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.

Zhou Luo, among the crowd, also had a slight change in expression.

He hadn’t expected that he, a dignified Transmigrator, would encounter such a thing…

This, he might just die from exhaustion one day.

The key was that he was now like a fish on a chopping board, a lamb to the slaughter, completely unable to resist!

Zhou Luo was filled with helplessness.

Was he going to be the first Transmigrator in history to die from breeding?

After a series of complex screenings…

Zhou Luo, with his handsome appearance and some outstanding qualities, was selected into the “premium” category.

There were only eight people in this group.

In the evening…

After bathing and changing, Zhou Luo was led by two maidservants to a room.

This was clearly a woman’s boudoir, and a faint fragrance permeated the air.

With a complicated expression, he sat on the chair, feeling utterly helpless.

Things had come to this; there was no escaping. Anyway, once the lights were out…

Now, he could only hope that the other party had no special fetishes.

Just as his mind was in turmoil, a sound suddenly came from outside the door.

“Qinghan, for the Family’s great cause, this is your duty…”

Slap—

Before he could finish listening, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a graceful figure entered the room.

Zhou Luo subconsciously looked up.

A face of unparalleled beauty came into view.

The other party wore a long white dress, tall and fair-skinned.

On her beautiful face, a pair of bright eyes were also looking at Zhou Luo.

Zhou Luo’s eyes lit up; this was actually a peerless beauty!

The thought of being a lamb to the slaughter instantly vanished.
