4: Miss Three

Lin Fu's words were realistic, but compared to limited Cultivation achievements, being able to step onto the path of immortality was already satisfying for many.

No matter how weak a Cultivator was, they were still a Cultivator, many times stronger than those ordinary people.

So after a brief commotion, everyone gradually quieted down.

Some even secretly resolved to have as many children as possible within ten years to obtain more Cultivation resources.

Next, Lin Fu summoned an Elder of the Zhou Family and instructed him to guide the Cultivation of these son-in-laws.

Zhou Luo sat cross-legged on a cushion, his eyes fixed on the Elder's explanation ahead, not daring to be distracted in the slightest.

At this moment, Zhou Luo was still just an ordinary person.

This was his first time encountering Cultivation knowledge, and he was naturally ravenous, wishing he could grasp all the knowledge at once.

The other son-in-laws were the same as him, each one listening attentively to the Elder's teaching with serious expressions.

However, this Elder only gave a general introduction to the method of Cultivation.

And briefly introduced the Cultivation System.

Cultivation Realms, from low to high, were: Qi Training, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul...

What the Elder taught were just the basic Cultivation techniques for Qi Training.

The Qi Training Realm was divided into nine layers. Although the Elder only taught the basics, the subsequent Cultivation comprehension actually depended on the individual.

But this also opened the door to a new world for everyone present.

As soon as the Elder and Lin Fu left, the son-in-laws in the manor immediately began a heated discussion.

As fellow sufferers and having never Cultivated before, they all wanted to use this opportunity to exchange views and improve their comprehension.

Zhou Luo wasn't very interested.

Anyway, he had Lin Qinghan's promise, so he could directly ask her if he had any questions.

He was about to leave when...

A tall man suddenly blocked his path.

Zhou Luo looked at the other person, his brows slightly furrowed.

He had noticed this man earlier while listening to the Elder's teaching.

The other person kept looking at him intentionally or unintentionally, with a hint of hostility in his eyes.

This couldn't help but make him a little confused.

When did he offend this guy in front of him?

"Something wrong?" he asked.

"Nothing, I'm just curious how a waste with only a Nine-Rank Spiritual Root like you could be chosen to enter the 'quality' ranks."

The hostile man's words were barbed, causing Zhou Luo's face to sink.

"Can I assume you are questioning Butler Lin's judgment?" he immediately retorted.

Hearing the words "Butler Lin", a trace of panic flashed across the man's face, but he quickly composed himself, opened his mouth to say something, but in the end, only let out a cold snort!

Then he turned and left.

"How inexplicable!"

Zhou Luo, who was suddenly resented, felt speechless.

"He is Zhang Da Ben, with an Eight-Rank Spiritual Root. The reason he is hostile towards you is because he is unhappy that you, with a Nine-Rank Spiritual Root, were chosen, but he wasn't."

At this moment, a gentle voice suddenly sounded.

Zhou Luo looked over and saw that the person speaking was a young man wearing a green long gown.

Before Zhou Luo could speak, the man cupped his hands and said, "Xu Changsheng."

"Zhou Luo," Zhou Luo returned the greeting.

He remembered that this person seemed to have a Seven-Rank Spiritual Root and was also chosen yesterday.

In this batch of son-in-laws, a total of eight people were chosen and entered the "quality ranks".

Those in the quality ranks had spouses with more prominent Family backgrounds.

Just like Lin Qinghan, her parents held some status in the Lin Family.

A husband gaining status through his wife, this was the privilege Zhang Da Ben mentioned earlier.

No wonder he held such resentment towards him.

"However, you don't need to worry about people like him," Xu Changsheng comforted.

Zhou Luo looked puzzled.

Xu Changsheng explained, "After all, after yesterday, we are no longer in the same world as people like him..."

Among the people who became son-in-laws, whether they had a Nine-Rank or Eight-Rank Spiritual Root, the difference was actually not significant.

Even if their Cultivation potential was higher, they would ultimately only become breeding tools, destined to have no success in achieving Chang Sheng in this life.

Since that was the case, their future status in the Lin Family would become especially important.

After all, the higher their status, the better the resources and rights they would enjoy.

According to Xu Changsheng, the eight people selected for the quality ranks yesterday were married into the middle ranks of the Lin Family, holding higher status than those married into the lower ranks.

Even if they were not favored by their wives, their status was still there.

Therefore, from now on, the eight of them were people from a different world than the other son-in-laws.

Xu Changsheng told Zhou Luo that since he had a "backer," he should learn to assess the situation and strive for greater benefits, and not be delayed by such trivial matters.

Zhou Luo was thoughtful.

On the way back, Zhou Luo couldn't help but think of the Cultivation resources his mother-in-law had given him in private earlier.

It seemed he hadn't adjusted his mindset yet and hadn't seen the advantages around him.

"Do you want to die?"

Just then, a female voice suddenly sounded in Zhou Luo's ear.

Boom—

Before he could look up, a surge of Spiritual Power suddenly erupted and struck him.

The next second, he was sent flying backward, landing heavily on the ground.

Zhou Luo, completely bewildered, endured the pain and climbed to his feet.

He saw a beautiful woman in luxurious attire appear in his line of sight.

The woman wore a moon-white strapless dress that perfectly accentuated her flawless figure.

Especially the snowy whiteness of her chest, which made people dizzy.

She stared at Zhou Luo with an indifferent expression, emitting a faint Spiritual Power glow.

A maid next to her angrily scolded, "Are you walking without looking where you're going? Didn't you see Third Miss is here?!"

Zhou Luo covered his chest, his face slightly pale.

He had been thinking about Xu Changsheng's words just now and hadn't noticed anyone in front of him at all.

However, the other person could have simply reminded him but chose to directly attack, which couldn't help but make Zhou Luo feel a little sad in his heart.

This concept of status where the strong prey on the weak was too direct!

Zhou Luo, who had received an education in equality in his previous life, found it hard to accept.

"Are you mute?" the arrogant maidservant raised her voice when she saw Zhou Luo not speaking.

With such an attitude, if it were in the past, Zhou Luo would have probably flared up long ago.

But times were different now. His current identity was a son-in-law, a "breeding tool."

Even if someone beat him to death, they probably wouldn't feel any psychological burden.

Thinking of what Lin Qinghan had said earlier.

Zhou Luo lowered his head, suppressing the anger in his heart, and said, "I'm sorry, I wasn't watching where I was going."

"If there's a next time, you won't need those eyes."

The cold voice came from the mouth of that "Third Miss," and then she walked straight past Zhou Luo and left.

Zhou Luo gritted his teeth and said nothing, only the look in his eyes towards the mistress and servant became incredibly deep.

Earlier, he had been in a good mood because of the appearance of the System and obtaining the method of Cultivation.

After this incident, he suddenly realized that it was still too early to be happy.

He was still an ant that could be casually stepped on!

The most urgent task was to get Lin Qinghan pregnant as soon as possible to trigger the reward.

Zhou Luo thought so, and secretly remembered that "Third Miss" in his heart.
