Chapter 1: Immortal Sect Matrilocal Son-in-law, Enhancing Offspring

"The Tai Xuan Sect assessment ends here. All Disciples who passed the test may follow me back to the Sect!"

At the gates of Tai Xuan Sect in Jing Kingdom, the assessment Elder spoke indifferently, casting a spell to summon a massive flying boat Magic Treasure into the air.

A young man watched with envy as people continuously boarded the flying boat and quickly soared away with the assessment Elder, his heart filled with a sense of loss.

This young man's name was Qin Changqing. In the just-concluded immortal Sect assessment, he had been heartlessly eliminated due to his poor Aptitude.

"How embarrassing. I've brought shame to the legion of transmigrators."

A month ago, Qin Changqing had undergone Transmigration to this world, only to discover it was the legendary world of immortal cultivation. It just so happened that Tai Xuan Sect, one of the ten major cultivation Sects in Jing Kingdom, was recruiting Disciples, so he immediately went there.

He originally thought that as a transmigrator, a chosen one, entering an immortal cultivation Sect would be easy. He didn't expect that although he possessed cultivation Aptitude, it was merely a Low Grade Spiritual Root, which didn't meet Tai Xuan Sect's recruitment requirements at all.

"Tai Xuan Sect's requirements are too high; you need at least a Medium Grade Spiritual Root. Why don't we go to a cultivation Family instead?"

"Once you enter a cultivation Family, you lose your freedom. To put it bluntly, you're a matrilocal son-in-law, there to have children for their Family. This is simply an insult to me!"

"As long as I can cultivate, what does a little insult matter? You have to look at it from another perspective—it's just having a child, we don't lose anything. Those cultivation families don't have bad benefits either; they not only provide Spiritual Vein training grounds but also give us cultivation Cultivation Techniques. If we endure and work hard, we might eventually have our day…"

The chatter of the rejected applicants nearby caught Qin Changqing's attention.

Cultivation Family? Matrilocal son-in-law?

Qin Changqing's eyes slowly lit up. Possessing a Spiritual Root, he certainly wasn't content to be a Mortal. If there was any chance, he also wanted immortality!

If it's a matrilocal son-in-law, so be it!

Besides, it wasn't all bad.

At least he could marry many wives without needing a betrothal gift; it was simply too comfortable.

He never expected to fulfill the wishes he couldn't achieve in his previous life here!

Qin Changqing made his decision immediately and walked toward the gathering area of the cultivation families.

On the massive platform of the side peak, many cultivation families were gathered, with eye-catching spirit talisman markers flashing at their respective territories.

After careful observation, Qin Changqing finally walked toward the Family with the flashing "Qin" talisman.

After the test, Qin Wenbo, the manager in charge of reception for the Qin Family, said indifferently: "Since you've decided to join my Qin Family, you will be a Cultivator of my Qin Family from now on. We will provide Spiritual Vein training grounds and cultivation Cultivation Techniques. What you need to do is bear offspring for our Qin Family—at least ten children. If any of your descendants are found to have Spiritual Root Aptitude, the Family will also grant rewards!"

Qin Changqing nodded. He had long been mentally prepared for this and had no objections.

As the sun set, the massive dharma bell in front of Tai Xuan Sect rang, announcing the end of the assessment. The cultivation families on the platform also retracted their spirit talismans and left with the Cultivators they had recruited.

Qin Wenbo also led the dozen or so recruited Guest Elders away on a Magical Artifact.

Xianyang Mountain, Qin Family.

Qin Changqing and a dozen other newly joined Cultivators sat in the hall.

After a while, Qin Wenbo walked in with dozens of young girls and said:

"You may choose one of them to be your primary wife."

"Jia Qiang, this is your wife, Qin Rongrong. She possesses Low Grade Spiritual Root Aptitude. I hope you won't disappoint the Qin Family!"

Qin Wenbo singled out a charming woman and pointed to one of the men.

The young man who was pointed out was overjoyed, a look of pride on his face, as he nodded repeatedly: "Please rest assured, Manager, I will definitely work hard!"

Everyone couldn't help but show envious looks, and Qin Changqing was no exception.

Who wouldn't want to marry a woman with Spiritual Root Aptitude?

To bear offspring with a Spiritual Root, the chances would be much higher if one parent had a Spiritual Root; if both had them, the probability would increase significantly.

Jia Qiang was the only one among the recruited Cultivators this time with Medium Grade Spiritual Root Aptitude, which was why the Qin Family valued him so much, even arranging a woman with a Spiritual Root for him.

Next was the turn for Qin Changqing and the others to choose. Qin Changqing wasn't familiar with these women, so he could only rely on his first impression.

He chose a woman who looked gentle and virtuous, named Qin Weiwei.

That night, the Qin Family was decorated with lanterns and streamers as they held a wedding for everyone. With so many people participating at once, the scale was quite grand, and the Qin Family was filled with laughter and continuous congratulations.

Late at night, a tipsy Qin Changqing returned.

He saw Qin Weiwei sitting quietly at the edge of the bed with her hands folded, waiting.

His drunkenness instantly dissipated by thirty percent… He hadn't expected to marry a beautiful bride as soon as he arrived, whereas he had been a wanderer until death in his previous life.

Qin Changqing lifted the red bridal veil and smiled: "Wife, it's late."

Half an hour later, in the darkness, Qin Changqing's eyes suddenly widened, and he stopped his movements.

A mechanical prompt sounded in his mind.

[Enhanced Offspring System activated]

[Host: Qin Changqing]

[Age: Twenty]

[Aptitude: Low Grade Spiritual Root]

[Current Lifespan: 70]

[Detected that the host is conceiving an offspring. Partner is a Mortal Physique. Consuming 10 years of lifespan to enhance the seed; a descendant with a High Grade Spiritual Root can be born.]

Qin Changqing was instantly overjoyed. He really was the chosen one; the System had arrived.

But after he heard the System's function clearly, his face immediately darkened.

"Damn, what's the use of only being able to enhance the seed!"

"And it even consumes my own lifespan—isn't this a scam!"

He immediately wanted to refuse, but he didn't expect the System to have no refusal option?!

Lifespan forcibly deducted for enhancement!

Qin Changqing was on the verge of tears.

Didn't this mean that from now on, every time he performed his marital duties, his lifespan would be deducted to enhance the seed? Qin Changqing wanted to curse and already had thoughts of running away.

If things continued like this, not only would he fail to achieve immortality, but he would probably die on the path of procreation before long.

"Husband, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Qin Changqing's mind was a mess, so he could only offer a soft word of comfort, and the two eventually fell asleep.

With a nervous heart, when they performed their marital duties the next day, Qin Changqing didn't receive any more System prompts. It seemed that once she was pregnant, the System wouldn't act recklessly.

Fortunately, he could still manage to have a few!

Soon, half a month passed. During this time, the Qin Family indeed kept their word and gave him a Qin Family cultivation Cultivation Technique, and Qin Changqing officially stepped onto the path of immortal cultivation.

One day, while the two were eating lunch, Qin Weiwei suddenly felt unwell. She covered her mouth and ran outside, retching continuously. Qin Changqing was worried and quickly called someone to check on her.

After carefully checking her pulse, the doctor immediately smiled and cupped his hands: "Congratulations, Brother Qin, your wife is expecting!"

Although Qin Changqing had long expected this, a look of joy still flashed across his face knowing he was about to become a father.

There was also a happy smile on Qin Weiwei's face, not only because having an offspring would raise her status in the Family, but also because of the happiness of becoming a mother.
