18: Reasons for recruiting a son-in-law

This time, the three sisters gave birth to four children for Zhou Luo, three boys and one girl, among whom Lin Yiyi gave birth to dragon-phoenix twins.

As the children grew more numerous, naming them became a very troublesome matter.

However, Zhou Luo had his own method.

He planned to use the generational names from his previous life to name his descendants.

The boys of this first generation would use the character "Chang" from Chang Sheng as their generational name.

They were Zhou Changping, Zhou Changshu, and Zhou Changrong.

As for the girls, they would use the character "Shi" as their generational name.

Lin Yiyi's daughter would be named Lin Shiyi.

This way saved him a lot of the trouble of naming.

Taking advantage of the children's birth, and adhering to the principle of "catching some good luck," Zhou Luo specifically opened the System's lottery function after washing his face.

The last time Lin Lan conceived, he specifically saved that lottery chance to use precisely today.

The white dial still had no changes.

But Zhou Luo was full of resentment.

Because the last lottery draw brought him very bad memories.

This time, he only hoped to draw items that weren't so useless.

His mind stirred slightly, and the golden light cluster reappeared and began spinning rapidly.

In his line of sight, the light cluster's speed gradually slowed down and finally stopped in the "Pills" area.

Seeing this area.

Zhou Luo, who was originally still nervous, immediately let out a sigh of relief.

If it were Pills, it wouldn't be too bad, right?

[Congratulations Host, you have obtained Second Order Low Grade Pills!]

[The reward has been automatically sent to the Host's backpack, please check!]

As expected, this reward was clearly much better.

Second Order Pills, this is equivalent to Foundation Establishment Realm Pills.

Although it's only Low Grade, for Zhou Luo, who was only at Qi Training First Level, it was already something very good.

Thinking of this, he didn't hesitate to open the backpack interface to check that Pill's information.

[Bursting Spirit Pill]

[Grade: Second Order Low Grade]

[Effect: Gain several times strength boost within ten minutes. Depending on the Realm, the strength gained will also differ.]

[Note: If a Qi Training First Level Cultivator consumes it, they will directly gain Qi Training Seventh Level combat power.]

It's clear this is a one-time use Pill.

However, the effect is extremely significant.

Especially for himself, it can completely be used as a life-saving trump card.

After all, in the Qi Refining Realm, one is only considered to have combat power upon reaching the fifth level.

He was only at Qi Training First Level; if he encountered trouble during this outing, it would be very easy for him to die in the wilderness.

Having this life-saving trump card, he could also feel at ease.

This Bursting Spirit Pill was temporarily placed into Zhou Luo's backpack.

Anyway, this backpack has nine slots, so he could just take it out when he needed it later.

Because the children had just been born, he temporarily didn't go to the Spirit Vein Blessed Land for Cultivation.

Anyway, after his status increased, the time spent entering the Spirit Vein Blessed Land would be calculated based on actual Cultivation time. There wouldn't be a situation where he wasn't inside, but the Time was wasted.

Taking this opportunity, Zhou Luo originally planned to go to Shouchun Garden to thank Lin Zhishou.

But he was informed that he had entered seclusion.

Helplessly, Zhou Luo temporarily went home.

"What's wrong? Isn't Grandpa Shou there?" Seeing Zhou Luo return so quickly, Lin Qinghan asked while holding a child.

Although the Zhou Family had dedicated people to take care of these infants, Lin Qinghan still liked to hold him and take a walk every day.

"Mmm, he seems to have entered seclusion," Zhou Luo replied truthfully.

Hearing this, Lin Qinghan was thoughtful: "It seems Grandpa Shou also knows Time is pressing and is seizing the Time to break through."

"Time is pressing?" Zhou Luo asked doubtfully.

Only then did Lin Qinghan explain.

It turned out that three years ago, the Lin Family discovered a Spirit Mine to the east of Maple Leaf City. Just as they were planning to send people to occupy and mine it, the news leaked, and the Lu Family found out.

This Lu Family is also a Immortal Family and has been sworn enemies with the Lin Family for hundreds of years.

Because this Spirit Mine is closer to Qingtian City under the Lu Family's jurisdiction, the other party naturally wouldn't miss the chance to seize the Spirit Mine.

This naturally caused the Lin Family's dissatisfaction.

Currently, Spirit Mines throughout the entire Fire Cloud Country have basically all been mined. It's rare to see an ownerless Spirit Mine, so the Lin Family definitely wouldn't concede it.

As a result, intense conflict erupted between both sides in order to contend for this Spirit Mine.

In these three years, conflicts of all sizes between both sides have erupted countless times.

Because of this Spirit Mine, the Lin Family lost a large number of Zhou Family disciples, causing a shortage of new talent.

This is also why, a year ago, the Lin Family would actually think of tricking Zhou Luo and these rejected individuals into becoming the Zhou Family's live-in sons-in-law.

Hearing this, Zhou Luo only then suddenly understood.

And according to Lin Qinghan's words, recently, the Lu Family is stirring restlessly again, and the entire Lin Family has already made preparations for battle.

This is also why Lin Zhishou would choose to enter seclusion to break through at this critical juncture.

As the Zhou Family's only First-Order High-Grade Alchemist, once he breaks through, the speed of Pill Refining Pills will greatly increase.

Having this layer of assurance, Lin Family disciples can also minimize losses as much as possible.

After listening, Zhou Luo only then realized.

The Lin Family is not as peaceful as it appears on the surface.

Thinking about it, it makes sense. In the world of Cultivation, everything must be fought for; if you don't fight, you get nothing.

Looking at the entire world, this kind of thing is probably a very common occurrence.

Presumably, the Azure Origin Sect also intentionally indulges them in this way.

Because this way can better stimulate the potential of the various Longevity Families.

These things are too distant for the current Zhou Luo.

But he keenly perceived one point.

He might be able to use this point in Time to widely purchase some medicinal ingredients for refining First-Order High Grade Pills.

Just right, Lin Zhishou is not at Baicao Hall, and other Zhou Family members probably also don't have Time to pay attention to him.

Taking this opportunity, he could refine a bit more.

At that Time, he could then find a way to sell them at the Spirit Pill Gathering and make a large profit.

In this era, Wealth, Companions, Techniques, and Location, none can be lacking.

As the first ranked "Wealth," its importance can be imagined.

If he doesn't take advantage of this opportunity to go to the Spirit Pill Gathering, the next Time he wants to reveal his First-Order peak strength, he doesn't know when he'll have to wait until.

With this thought, Zhou Luo turned around and walked straight towards Baicao Hall.

As he expected, Baicao Hall only had a few clerks present.

Even Lin Nian wasn't in the shop.

Those clerks were just doing their jobs, they also didn't know exactly what Pills these medicinal ingredients could refine, and furthermore, they knew Zhou Luo.

So when Zhou Luo took a large pile of medicinal ingredients and placed them on the counter.

They didn't ask much; after calculating the price, they let him take them away.

Having obtained the medicinal ingredients, Zhou Luo was extremely excited.

In the following days, he even stopped Cultivation, planning to use this period of Time to refine a large quantity of high-quality Pills.

Ever since his status increased, the attitude of the several women, including Lin Qinghan, towards him had undergone significant changes.

This change doesn't refer to liking between men and women, but rather in the way they treated him daily.

If one were to say their usual attitude towards Zhou Luo was casual, then now there was an added trace of respect.

So now he didn't need to worry at all about someone coming to disturb his practice.

Until one day, Xu Changsheng suddenly came knocking.
