I Have No Qualifications, The System Asked Me To Marry A Wife To Practice

Chu Shen had never planned to move out of the city. Not only because it was less convenient outside the city, with many dangerous wild beasts and other risks, but also because he suspected that there might be some kind of criminal organization or shadow lurking in the Chongxue Peak after the Yuan Tao incident. He was worried about the danger that might arise without the deterrence of law enforcement disciples.

However, the house where the Chu family lived was becoming increasingly crowded. Whether it was due to the increase in concubines, the birth and growth of children, the addition of dependent followers of the Chu family, or the need for larger activity areas for Bai Ying, Xiao Bai, and other exotic beasts... the Chu family needed more space.

However, the space within the Chongxue Peak was limited.

The Chongxue Peak was originally established by four major families, each occupying a corner of the Chongxue Peak. Generation after generation of scholars appeared steadily, even if some of these scholars became formal disciples of the Langxuan Heavenly Palace, they did not migrate to the inner palace due to reasons such as excessive population in their families. Instead, they stayed in the Chongxue Peak and enjoyed some privileges.

After a long period of operation and development, the stable and secure environment gradually attracted many small scholar families or scattered families to fill the surplus space in the Chongxue Peak.

Now, if one wanted to start construction within the Chongxue Peak, it would be quite troublesome. Just purchasing the surrounding land and getting the neighbors to agree to relocate would be enough to give someone a headache.

Now, the issue of lifting the bloodline curse on Xi Niang had to be added to the equation.

After calculating everything, even if he didn't want to live outside the city, he still had to open up a larger space outside the city.

"Building nearby the Chongxue Peak might be a relatively compromise idea."

He thought of a solution, but when he found Lin Kun, he was told it wouldn't work.

"Do you know why there hasn't been a single house outside the city walls of the Chongxue Peak until today?" Chu Shen expressed his confusion.

Lin Kun said, "Because the land surrounding the Chongxueji has been divided among the four major families. If you want to build a house outside the city, you must obtain their permission. But the four major families never give permission."

"Why? Would the Langhun Heavenly Palace allow such behavior?" Chu Shen was even more puzzled.

Lin Kun shrugged, "This is the privilege granted to the four major families by the Heavenly Palace. It is their choice to stay in the outer ring instead of the inner palace."

Chu Shen was shocked, "These families actually negotiate conditions with the Heavenly Palace?"

Lin Kun sighed, "Because the Heavenly Palace... is not in the right."

Once a scholar becomes an official disciple of the Langhun Heavenly Palace, not only can they enter the inner palace, but their family can as well.

This rule was initially established by the founder of the Langhun Heavenly Palace to increase manpower. Over time, it became a "family tradition," and no one wanted to burden themselves with the reputation of "disrespecting the family tradition."

The formation of any rule will benefit some people. These beneficiaries will not allow any changes to rules that benefit them. Whoever tries to change the rules becomes their enemy. Only those with great determination and perseverance will choose to get involved.

And then the problem arises. Any rule will have its advantages and disadvantages. It is unknown whether it is luck or fate, but the existence of the four major families is a result of exploiting a loophole in the system.

When scholars first entered the Chongxue Peak to become disciples, there were not many members from the four major families. Like most selected scholars, they were all striving to become official disciples of the Langhun Heavenly Palace.

But these families... are very fertile, and they have been quite lucky. When the previous scholar failed to become an official disciple and faced the risk of expulsion, there were always new family members who met the criteria to become scholars, replacing their predecessors and becoming a new generation of scholars.

As time went on, the population of the four major families increased exponentially. With a large population, the chances of producing scholars also increased, allowing them to stay in the Chongxue Peak.

By the time the first official disciple from one of the four major families appeared, the population of that family had reached an astonishing number in the tens of thousands.

A disciple brought tens of thousands of clan members into the inner palace of Langhun Heavenly Palace?

This is too exaggerated!

Even if they were treated well, it shouldn't be to this extent!

Not many people know the details of the negotiations, but the final result is that formal disciples can bring their immediate family members into the inner palace, while collateral relatives can stay at the foot of Chongxue Peak and receive some benefits, such as land, exemption from family involvement in individual crimes, certain resource subsidies, and the dispatch of law enforcement disciples to provide basic protection...

"What does this have to do with the four major families not allowing others to build residential areas near Chongxue Settlement?" Chu Shen was a little puzzled.

Lin Kun rolled his eyes. "Don't you understand? This is the four major families not wanting others to take advantage of them. They deliberately restrict the land use range of Chongxue Settlement, forcing those families that have reached a certain scale to leave and establish their own residential areas in the wilderness!"

...Flowers are requested...

In fact, not only Chongxue Settlement, but countless scholar families have gone through a process of survival of the fittest over the years. Most of the large families that can stay at the foot of Chongxue Peak follow this approach.

This is also the reason why there are only eight cities like Chongxue Settlement to this day.

Many families that once had hopes of following a similar path as the four major families were kicked out by those who got on the bandwagon earlier.

"Does Langhun Heavenly Palace not intervene?" Chu Shen was shocked by the malicious actions of these large families. With a little hope for Langhun Heavenly Palace, he asked this question.

...0...

Lin Kun smiled helplessly. "Why should they intervene? How can they intervene? Kick out the four major families like this?"

Chu Shen was indignant: "Shouldn't it be so?"

Lin Kun's smile was meaningful: "But many of these families who enter the Langxun Heavenly Palace as formal disciples are still alive. Some have even become senior members within the palace. From what I know, the highest-ranking ones have even become one of the current nine elders."

Chu Shen suddenly understood, looking at Lin Kun with a shocked expression. He saw Lin Kun's helplessness and bitterness on his face.

Taking over someone else's territory, usurping someone else's position?

Seeing one third brother, in fact, a whole nest of third brothers has already arrived?

Damn!

"But, I do think that in a certain sense, you, kid, have more bitches than the Four Great Families."

Suddenly, Lin Kun said.

Chu Shen: "???"

Lin Kun's smile remained meaningful: "You have many concubines, many children, and you're still looking for more concubines, still having more children..."

Patting his shoulder, this somewhat funny law enforcement disciple said seriously at this moment: "And you're only at the ninth level of Qi Refining, while I had already reached the Spirit Gathering stage and was assigned to the Chongxue Sect for many years when I realized this, so... come on, Junior Brother Chu, you can do it!"

Chu Shen: "!!!"

Immediately, he suddenly remembered that the higher the cultivation level of a cultivator, the more difficult it is to have children...
