Chapter 1: What Kind of System Are You? Is It “Many Children, Many Blessings”?

"Thirty-four years have passed in the blink of an eye since I came to this world."

Sitting cross-legged on a prayer mat, Xu Qingzhou looked up at the sky, his expression dazed.

Thirty-four years ago, he transmigrated to this Xuanhuan world and became an ordinary newborn in a small Family. His skeletal structure and Comprehension Ability were outstanding, so he embarked on the path of cultivation.

Xu Qingzhou began cultivating at the age of fourteen. One year for Body Tempering, three years for Qi Gathering, and five years for Drawing Spirit. Now, at thirty-four, he is in the Profound Core Realm Middle Stage.

[Realms: Body Tempering, Qi Gathering, Drawing Spirit, Profound Core, Purple Mansion, Primordial Spirit, Heavenly Palace, Dharma Idol, etc.]

His cultivation speed had already surpassed seventy percent of ordinary Cultivators.

Achieving such success was not only due to Xu Qingzhou's own efforts but also heavily related to the Family's full support in nurturing him.

A Profound Core Realm Cultivator has a lifespan of two hundred years, so thirty-four-year-old Xu Qingzhou is considered young.

He was handsome and elegant, with a mature and steady temperament, and his gaze was firm yet gentle.

There were many female Cultivators in Cloud Mountain City who wanted to become his Dao Companion.

Just yesterday, after breaking through to the Profound Core Realm Middle Stage, Xu Qingzhou became the new Clan Chief of the Xu Family.

The Family had sacrificed a lot to nurture him over the years, so Xu Qingzhou had long ago made up his mind to devote all his efforts to developing and strengthening the Xu Family.

However, looking at the current situation, without any external help, even if he did his best, the height the Xu Family could reach in the future would be very limited.

"It's been thirty-four years. Even if my Golden Finger got lost, it should have found its way home by now!"

"I don't need a particularly powerful Golden Finger; a 'Many Children, Many Blessings' System would do. It's not that I want to marry and have children, I just simply want to develop and strengthen the Xu Family."

"If not that, a check-in System would work too; simple and direct."

Just as Xu Qingzhou was lamenting, a voice suddenly rang out in his mind.

"Ding."

This sound was like the most beautiful melody in the world, making Xu Qingzhou incredibly excited.

"System binding complete."

"Hello, Host."

Thirty-four years, a full thirty-four years! It's finally here! Do you know how I've lived through these thirty-four years?!!!

I worked hard at cultivation every day. Forget about dating, I haven't even been to a brothel!

Xu Qingzhou asked straightforwardly.

"What kind of System are you? Is it 'Many Children, Many Blessings'?"

The System's answer disappointed Xu Qingzhou a little.

"This System has one main goal, two functions, and one passive."

"Goal: To help the Host develop and strengthen the Family. To this end, the System will successively bestow several Children of Destiny upon the Xu Family to enhance the Xu Family's Luck."

"Function One: The Host can hear the inner thoughts of the Children of Destiny."

"Function Two: However much the cultivation of a Child of Destiny increases, the System will bestow a multiplied amount upon the Host."

"Passive: Every time a Child of Destiny appears in the Host's Family, the talent of other Family members will also be enhanced."

The System's goal and functions were very simple and easy to understand.

In other words, the Xu Family would gradually see the emergence of Children of Destiny with various Golden Fingers.

Xu Qingzhou could hear their inner thoughts.

This was quite appropriate; after all, everyone has their own secrets. Even within the same Family, and even though Xu Qingzhou was the Clan Chief, they wouldn't necessarily tell him everything directly.

As these Children of Destiny increased their cultivation, Xu Qingzhou would also become stronger.

Therefore, he only needed to nurture the Children of Destiny and let them grow stronger, relying on the System to feed back cultivation to himself.

He wouldn't even need to Cultivate; he could just lie back and enjoy life.

The System's passive was also crucial.

The more Children of Destiny in the Family, the higher the talent of the clansmen would be, preventing a situation where only a few are strong while everyone else is weak.

"Although I didn't get the 'Many Children, Many Blessings' System as I wished, this System is also quite good. Not only can I easily increase my cultivation, but I can also develop and strengthen the Family. It suits me perfectly."

"Most importantly, with these Children of Destiny, I won't have to work so hard in the future."

Xu Qingzhou immediately got up, planning to head out and see who the Children of Destiny with Golden Fingers were.

Finding them and nurturing them would simultaneously increase his own strength, which was much easier than cultivating.

Along the way, any clansmen who saw Xu Qingzhou bowed and greeted him.

"Clan Chief."

"Mhm."

Xu Qingzhou walked with his hands behind his back, nodding impassively.

Eventually, he arrived at the Martial Arts Arena, where a large number of Family Disciples were gathered, practicing techniques, cultivating, and exchanging insights.

Seeing Xu Qingzhou's arrival, they all stopped and called out respectfully.

"Clan Chief."

Their respect came from the bottom of their hearts, both for Xu Qingzhou's status and his strength.

After all, Xu Qingzhou was the only one in their Xu Family at the Profound Core Middle Stage; even when the Xu Family Old Ancestor passed away, he was only at the Profound Core Early Stage.

If not for Xu Qingzhou being at the Profound Core Middle Stage, their Xu Family wouldn't be qualified to be one of the three major families in Cloud Mountain City.

It could be said that even before becoming Clan Chief, Xu Qingzhou was the person the young Disciples of the Family admired and respected the most.

Xu Qingzhou said in an approachable manner, "Don't mind me, please continue."

"Yes."

Everyone continued their practice and cultivation, but with even more focus than before.

Xu Qingzhou walked around the Martial Arts Arena but didn't hear any inner thoughts.

Not all Family Disciples were there, so Xu Qingzhou wasn't discouraged. He left the Martial Arts Arena and wandered aimlessly through the Family compound.

As one of the three major families of Cloud Mountain City, their Family compound covered over a hundred mu, which was quite large.

As he walked, Xu Qingzhou arrived in front of the small courtyard of his second brother, Xu Huaichuan.

He was originally planning to leave, but the gate was wide open, and his second brother, Xu Huaichuan, was in the courtyard and saw him.

Xu Huaichuan quickly walked out and cupped his hands, "I didn't know the Clan Chief was coming. Do you have any instructions?"

"Second Brother, there's no need to be so formal in private," Xu Qingzhou said with a relaxed expression, waving his hand with a smile.

"Ah, alright," Xu Huaichuan nodded.

Their parents had six children; Xu Qingzhou was the sixth, while Xu Huaichuan, the second eldest, had poor skeletal structure and limited strength.

They talked as they entered the courtyard.

Xu Qingzhou asked casually, "Xiao Luo is going to the Lingyue Sect in a few days. How are the preparations going?"

The Great Qi Dynasty has three first-rate powers, and the Lingyue Sect is one of them. It is also the closest to Cloud Mountain City. Any child in the vicinity with decent talent would be sent to the Lingyue Sect to seek a master and Cultivate.

Every year when the Lingyue Sect recruits Disciples, many people go, but most are filtered out. Only a portion can pass the assessment and join the Lingyue Sect.

Back then, Xu Qingzhou didn't want to leave the Family, so he didn't go. Otherwise, with his talent and Comprehension Ability, he could have at least become an Inner Sect Disciple.

Of course, there was also the possibility of an accidental death.

One shouldn't imagine the path not taken as being too perfect.

"I'll call him out right now," Xu Huaichuan said.

Soon, a handsome youth who appeared ordinary at first glance walked out of the house. His eyes were resolute and indifferent, as if nothing could cause even a ripple in his emotions.

At the same time, one could vaguely sense a steadiness from him that didn't match his age.

Seeing Xu Qingzhou, the youth quickly bowed and said, "Clan Chief."

"You truly are father and son; why are you both so formal? Be more casual in private," Xu Qingzhou said, intentionally putting on a stern face.

The youth quickly called out, "Sixth Uncle."

Xu Qingzhou's expression softened slightly, mainly because he saw a few words above the youth's head.
