3: Full of power

In the courtyard, small paths paved with bluestone led to exquisite pavilions, interspersed with verdant bamboo groves and rockeries, appearing very elegant.

The most conspicuous among them was the building in the very center.

It was tall and magnificent, with two stone lions guarding the entrance, and exquisite patterns carved around it, clearly possessing an extraordinary Aura.

Zhou Luo could clearly sense that this building should be enveloped by a certain Array Formation.

So even with the doors wide open, nothing could be seen unless one entered inside.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Lin Qinghan, dressed in a white long dress, seated in the front left of the Dragon Palace Great Hall, still as radiant and captivating, drawing attention.

Besides her, a middle-aged couple was seated directly in front.

Both were dressed in opulent attire, appearing rich and noble.

"You are Zhou Luo?"

Just as he entered the Dragon Palace Great Hall, a voice filled with majesty exploded in Zhou Luo's ears like thunder.

His body trembled, and he inwardly wondered if the other person was Qinghan's Father?

So he quickly bowed: "Greetings, Father-in-law."

"Hmph, a Nine-Rank Spiritual Root can also become Qinghan's husband? Is the Main Family treating us with such disdain?" The man said angrily.

The Lin Family, as a Immortal Family, had countless collateral branches besides the Main Family.

Lin Qinghan's Father's lineage was merely one of the many collateral branches.

It was just that this lineage hadn't produced any decent strong individuals, causing their status within the Family to plummet, and even their only daughter had to become a sacrifice for the Family, turning into a breeding tool.

Even if it was just like this, it would have been acceptable.

When Lin De saw that Zhou Luo had the lowest Nine-Rank Spiritual Root, he couldn't help but fly into a rage.

He was very clear that this was the Main Family suppressing their lineage.

With such a low-level Ling Gen (Spiritual Root), even if he combined with his daughter and had children, how high could their Cultivation potential be?

Zhou Luo below felt his heart tremble.

He had thought he was just relatively lucky, but he didn't expect there were so many hidden complexities behind it.

He couldn't help but sigh that large families were indeed full of scheming and infighting everywhere.

"Forget it."

Lin De suddenly sighed. He looked at his precious daughter with a face full of affection, then abruptly stared at Zhou Luo with a fierce gaze.

"From now on, you must always remember the Lin Family's rules, and focus on cultivating descendants. If there is any negligence, you will be directly served with Family law." Lin De said coldly.

When he spoke the words "Family law," he deliberately emphasized his tone, appearing somewhat kill-filled.

Originally, he had planned to have a good talk with this son-in-law of his.

But after seeing the other party's Nine-Rank Spiritual Root, he immediately lost interest.

So after speaking, he simply flicked his sleeves and left.

After Lin De left, the dignified and graceful woman in opulent clothing beside him finally spoke: "Sit down."

After Zhou Luo sat down, the woman slowly said: "Since the two of you have become husband and wife, you must support each other from now on and strive to give birth to high-quality descendants to strengthen the Lin Family's lineage."

"Mother, I understand." Lin Qinghan nodded.

This was originally her destiny.

Afterwards, the woman looked at Zhou Luo again, her gaze gentle: "Good child, you must treat my daughter well, otherwise, let alone her Father, even I won't let you off."

Generally speaking, the higher the Cultivation level, the lower the chance of having offspring.

Therefore, Lin Qinghan was the only descendant of Lin De's lineage.

No wonder he was so angry and dissatisfied upon seeing his daughter marry a son-in-law with a Nine-Rank Spiritual Root.

After a few simple pleasantries, Zhou Luo and Lin Qinghan left the Dragon Palace Great Hall.

However, before leaving, Lin Qinghan's Mother also gave Zhou Luo some Cultivation resources, hoping he would stay in the Lin Family with peace of mind from now on.

Walking out of the Dragon Palace Great Hall, Lin Qinghan said softly: "Father is doing this for my own good, don't have any objections."

"I understand." Zhou Luo nodded.

He could very well understand Lin De's thoughts.

Even if it were himself, forced by Family pressure to sacrifice his precious daughter, and even letting her marry a young man with a Nine-Rank Spiritual Root, he would definitely not favor the other party.

"That's good. The Family has many rules. For example, our collateral branches are not allowed to enter the Core Area. When the time comes, I'll have Xiao Lan tell you all these rules one by one."

"Also, if you encounter someone from the Main Family, you must show enough respect. Just do whatever they say."

"Furthermore, if you encounter any difficulties in Cultivation in the future, you can always come and ask me."

...

On the way, Lin Qinghan continuously explained some important matters, fearing Zhou Luo might stubbornly break the Family rules.

Zhou Luo kept all of this in mind.

This conversation also gave him a deeper understanding of Lin Qinghan.

This was a woman who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside.

Her soft whispers were also more like comforting him regarding her Father's attitude just now.

Before long, they arrived in front of a garden.

This was the place where the Lin Family imparted Cultivation Methods.

Standing at the entrance, they could still see the familiar faces from yesterday.

Although they were tricked into becoming son-in-laws of the Lin Family, the Lin Family did not break its promise; the promised Cultivation Methods were not withheld from them.

In the manor, the man who looked like a steward from yesterday appeared again.

His name was Lin Fu, and he was specifically responsible for the training of this batch of son-in-laws.

After Lin Qinghan sent Zhou Luo to this place, she left.

The tense and serious atmosphere of this place made Zhou Luo and the other son-in-laws stand in the garden, not daring to make the slightest move.

Lin Fu summoned his subordinates and began signing the son-in-law contracts with this group of people, which was also to prevent them from escaping.

Although everyone was unwilling, after witnessing Lin Fu's iron-blooded methods yesterday, they all very honestly signed their names on the contract and received their own identity tags and a Cultivation Secret Manual.

When he received that Cultivation Methods for immortal Cultivation, Zhou Luo couldn't help but tremble, his excitement evident.

Although he possessed the System, the System's reward was only to increase lifespan, and it did not provide any self-preservation ability.

After all, Chang Sheng is not immortality. If one wants to Cultivate immortals and become stronger in this world, the relevant Cultivation Methods and Secret Manuals are still very necessary.

It was just that besides these Cultivation Methods, the Lin Family no longer provided any other Cultivation resources.

"Steward Lin, wasn't it agreed earlier that we could go to the Spirit Vein Blessed Land for Cultivation?"

Someone asked with boldness.

To achieve success in Cultivation, "Cultivation Methods, Companions, Wealth, and Land" are all indispensable.

With the first two, the latter two are naturally also very important.

"Of course, you can enter the Spirit Vein Blessed Land, but that will depend on your efforts." Lin Fu stared at everyone and said indifferently.

For this group of son-in-laws.

The so-called effort is to have more children.

According to Lin Fu, as long as pregnancy is confirmed, one can obtain the opportunity to enter the Spirit Vein Blessed Land for Cultivation for one month, and also receive other Cultivation rewards.

The more one sows, the more rewards one gets.

After hearing this, everyone was in an uproar.

Some people who originally had expectations for Cultivation looked even more dejected and desperate.

To improve one's Cultivation level, one must have more children.

However, having many children, without the prerequisite of Dual Cultivation Methods, would damage one's Cultivation.

Seen this way, on the path of Cultivation, it would likely be very difficult for everyone to make any significant progress in this lifetime.

Of course, Zhou Luo was an exception.

Possessing the System, as long as he worked hard, he could obtain drawing opportunities, and his lifespan could continuously increase.

As for damaging Cultivation, he originally had the lowest level Ling Gen (Spiritual Root), so what Cultivation was there to speak of?

In the long years to come, he would always achieve success in Cultivation!

With this thought, Zhou Luo immediately felt full of motivation.
