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

Not long after the completion of the first phase of the Chu Family Manor, Chu Shen returned to Nanping City and brought a group of people with him.

This time, he had his own place and could accommodate as many people as he wanted. He no longer had to worry about saving space like when he lived in the Chongxue Collection and didn't have to bring along unnecessary people.

Of course, when he appeared in Nanping City, he inevitably had to deal with various aspects. Among the people he brought, in addition to servants, craftsmen, and scattered followers, there were also some "connections".

Mainly, those young ladies from various families who were sent to the Chu Family Hengyuan and their maidservants. They had to bring a few of them along to maintain appearances.

It was inevitable that they would attract some jealous concubines and mistresses. The female cultivators couldn't compete, and they didn't dare to stop their husband from marrying cultivators. How could these ordinary women dare to come and compete with us for favor?

A few who thought they could act arrogantly by following Chu Shen were immediately met with a show of strength and quickly turned into lambs.

There was nothing they could do. The concubines of the Chu Family were all cultivators, and these ordinary women really couldn't match them.

But it didn't matter. We have a long way to go. Hmph!

Chu Shen watched the small firework cave in the backyard with great interest, but he couldn't intervene. Apart from setting some rules, such as no fighting and no harming or insulting others, he couldn't control anything else. Both sides were his concern, and it was rare to be confused. He could only let the concubines play their palace intrigues.

Fortunately, his teachings on cultivation effectively curbed disorder in the backyard. Daily meditation reduced the trivial disputes and arguments among the women, which was an unexpected gain.

Children were a great restriction on women. He found ways to ensure that the women either had children or were pregnant, to some extent controlling the internal issues of the Chu Family.

Before the new female cultivators arrived, he had exerted all his efforts. The Tong siblings, Tong Zhou and Tong Ye, who needed cultivation, were exempted. As for the others who were physically and mentally healthy, he worked hard to impregnate them one by one.

Except for Shangguan Shurong, who continued to refuse pregnancy through refining essence and transforming qi, and unfortunately, she was cursed by her mother and naturally had a cold body and couldn't conceive.

Even Wei Liangnu couldn't escape the temptation of giving up refining and became pregnant with her first child.

Furthermore, with the response from various prestigious schools on Chongxue Peak, allowing his concubines to attend the practice sessions, the internal issues of the Chu family naturally resolved themselves, and Chu Shen was able to properly entertain Li Jinrong and Yang Taichu with his energy and time.

Indeed, before the female cultivators with Fire Spiritual Roots and Earth Spiritual Roots entered the sect, these two didn't care about their status and came to him on their own.

Li Jinrong was pressed for time, as the deadline for the marriage was approaching, and she couldn't wait.

Yang Taichu knew that Chu Shen was going to take concubines again and felt a bit unhappy. She wanted to take the initiative and check the goods before making a decision.

The first one to come was Yang Taichu.

That night, just as Chu Shen had finished lifting the bloodline curse on Xiniang, turning her courtyard into an ice mountain, he was about to go back and rest when Yang Taichu arrived under the moonlight.

In the soft moonlight, the woman who looked like a young girl stood in the moonlight, her face cold and indifferent.

"Are you Chu Shen?"

Although the Chu family manor had set up some barriers and formations, they were ultimately too short on time and the system was not comprehensive enough. Moreover, they were facing an official disciple of the second level of the Spirit Gathering stage from Langxuan Heavenly Palace, so... it wasn't very effective.

If Chu Shen hadn't sensed any danger and knew that the other party had no ill intentions, he would have activated the imprint of the "Returning Ten Thousand Swords to the Sect" technique at that time.

"I have met Senior Sister Yang, I am indeed Chu Shen!"

He had seen the image of Yang Taichu imprinted on the portrait of Xiaohongling, so he immediately recognized who the visitor was.

Yang Taichu returned his greeting, "Greetings, Junior Brother Chu. I believe you already know the purpose of my visit."

Being so direct made Chu Shen feel a bit embarrassed. Of course, he knew what the other party wanted, but the fact that she came to him like this still surprised him and made him feel a bit uncomfortable.

Yang Taichu's face, as white as jade, had a slight blush. It would be impossible for a woman like her not to feel shy about such matters. She wasn't some battle-hardened woman of the world. Even though more than forty years had passed, she had never experienced it before!

But cultivators were different from ordinary people, especially someone like her who had already cultivated to the point of forgetting oneself. If it weren't for Chu Shen's special cultivation technique, she would have been so detached from worldly desires that she wouldn't even remember the existence of men and women. In an instant, she controlled her shyness.

(I came to cultivate with Junior Brother Chu, to improve my spiritual aptitude, not for personal relationships...)

Repeating her main purpose in her mind, her expression became much more natural.

Chu Shen also admired her emotional management skills. "I understand, Senior Sister. But... is it really worth it? Virginity can only be lost once!"

Yang Taichu looked at him deeply. "For me, this opportunity is probably more important than my virginity. Do you know how long I've been stuck at the second level of the Spirit Gathering stage?"

Chu Shen nodded. Xiao Hongling had mentioned it to him. "Ten years."

But isn't that normal?

Some people can't even reach the Foundation Building stage in their entire lives!

Yang Taichu sighed. "I entered the Chongxue Peak at the age of ten, reached the Foundation Building stage at eighteen, and even possessed the rare Moon Spiritual Root and awakened the innate Divine Ability 'Moon Escape'. Even though it's only a fourth-grade ability, I was still accepted into the Heavenly Palace..."

Chu Shen: "???"

Are you boasting?

Her voice gradually became low. "But, it wasn't until I was thirty-five years old, after nearly twenty years, that I completed the Foundation Building stage and entered the Spirit Gathering stage."

"Do you know how many years it takes on average for the disciples under my master to complete the entire Foundation Building stage of cultivation?"

Chu Shen shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

Yang Taichu's face was filled with sadness, and her tone became more intense: "Ten years! That is the average time it takes for my senior brothers, junior brothers, senior sisters, and junior sisters to cross the Foundation Building stage!"

"I am already far behind everyone else, and now I have been stuck at the second level of the Spirit Gathering stage for ten years."

"How many more ten years (worth wasting) do I have left?"

Chu Shen said, "No, senior sister, you are really being extravagant! Do you know how those with lower aptitude than you sometimes struggle in their cultivation progress? It's like struggling with a PowerPoint presentation, you know?"

"Being stuck at a minor realm of the Spirit Gathering stage for ten years? Some people are stuck for several decades or even hundreds of years!"

"Otherwise, wouldn't the Dongxuan Heaven be filled with high-level cultivators long ago?"

"Oh... senior sister, I think you're worrying too much. Look at all those scholars on the Chongxue Peak, they can't even cross the threshold of becoming formal disciples of the Langxuan Heavenly Palace in their entire lives."

"That's different!" Yang Taichu shouted somewhat nervously, "My situation is different from theirs!"

Chu Shen felt a bit helpless. He could tell that Yang senior sister had some kind of anxiety or psychological condition like "jiaojing syndrome" or "yuyu syndrome"!

Maybe... he shouldn't go against the wishes of women after all?
