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

"Chu Shen, your aptitude is average, your spiritual awareness is weak, and your spiritual roots are obscure, to the point where even the Spirit Discerning Jade cannot clearly display them. You have no talent for cultivation and have no connection with our sect. It would be best for you to leave quickly and live a peaceful life at home."

After the guest finished speaking, he returned to the temple, leaving behind a man standing expressionlessly at the door.

After a while, he seemed to come back to life, sighed, and turned to walk down the steps, feeling heavy and gloomy.

In this cultivation world of Dongxuan Tian, gods and immortals truly exist, and treasures and opportunities are obtained by those who are destined for them. Sects are spread throughout, and even in mortal cities, there is no shortage of temples where cultivation sects accept disciples.

In Nanping City, there are three cultivation sects of varying strength that have set up their own temples for the convenience of accepting disciples.

Even the Tai Ping Sect, one of the three major cultivation sects in Nanping City, influenced by the inclusive ideology of the Jie Sect, is willing to accept even those with incomplete spiritual roots.

Chu Shen did not believe that these sects would refuse to accept him because he was an "outsider."

A week ago, he inexplicably came from the Blue Star to Dongxuan Tian and appeared on the streets of Nanping City, quickly attracting the attention of the authorities.

Due to the existence of countless other realms, Dongxuan Tian has frequent exchanges with various celestial races, and it is common to encounter people from other realms for various reasons. There is also a complete and mature system in place to deal with them.

So he quickly went through the procedures related to being an "outsider" with the authorities and obtained permission to temporarily reside in Nanping City. Even in the situation where he realized he could not return to his hometown, he was already in the process of obtaining citizenship - completing the citizenship process meant that he officially became a citizen of the Great Yan Xian Dynasty, to which Nanping City belongs.

He could not join a cultivation sect, ultimately because of his "cultivation aptitude"!

Whether it was because the physique of people from the Blue Star was not suitable for cultivation, or because Chu Shen happened to be a person with no cultivation aptitude, he visited the temples of all three sects in Nanping City, and the response he received was that he had no cultivation aptitude and had no connection with the sects!

If it were just one sect's guest saying this, he might still hold onto a glimmer of hope, but when all three sects' guests said the same thing... the answer was as good as set in stone.

The blow that this answer dealt him was immense, and it forced him to face a harsh reality: as an ordinary person, if he couldn't cultivate, how could he survive and live well in a world full of extraordinary beings?

Relying on him to cross over and exchange for twenty taels of gold with the exquisite modern items he carried with him? What should he do after using them up?

As if reflecting his mood, dark clouds gradually covered the sky, and the heavy thunder shook the heavens.

It's going to rain.

Chu Shen, full of worries, had to hurry to the inn where he was staying.

Just as the sky began to drizzle, before the heavy rain arrived, a crowd gathered on the roadside and the faint sound of a woman crying made him slow down.

Curiosity is human nature. Although this world is extraordinary, there are few cheap entertainments, unlike Blue Star, where you can easily find fun on the internet. This leads to watching the excitement becoming a rare cheap pastime.

Chu Shen was no exception.

Blending into the crowd, he saw a thin woman wearing mourning clothes, with a grass marker around her neck, kneeling beside a hastily wrapped corpse on a straw mat, bowing to the crowd watching the excitement.

"Dear passersby, I am from Chenjiazhuang, ten miles outside the city. My mother passed away early, and a few days ago, my father also died of illness. We are extremely poor, and without capable relatives to help, I have no money to bury my poor father. I have no choice but to shamelessly ask for assistance here. I only need three taels of burial silver, and I will sell myself to him for the rest of my life, allowing him to do as he pleases!"

So she was selling herself to bury her father.

The desire to watch the excitement immediately faded.

He didn't doubt that this woman was trying to deceive sympathy by selling her misery. The local family had already announced it, and it was impossible to fake it with so many people watching.

But now he was in a difficult situation, and taking out three taels of silver just to help someone... it still hurt. He shook his head and walked back.

Many people in the crowd had the same idea as him. There were many unfortunate people, but very few who could help. They all shook their heads and sighed as they left.

As for those well-dressed spectators with wealth... if this woman were attractive, they would be willing to help and add someone to their own rooms. But since this woman's appearance is average and doesn't arouse any interest, they can't be bothered to spend their money on such a good deed.

After a while, the crowd dispersed, leaving only the girl kneeling alone by the roadside, accompanying her deceased father's body.

The rain in the sky began to pour urgently, with raindrops the size of beans hitting people painfully. But the woman remained motionless, her face covered in dust and mixed with what seemed to be rain or tears.

This tragic scene in the world made Chu Shen, who had glanced back from afar, feel a sense of blockage in his heart.

After all, he had only recently traveled through time, and the education under the red flag had not been eroded by cruel reality. He couldn't bear to witness such a tragic event happening before his eyes.

He sighed and walked back, stepping on the rainwater.

"Three or two silver, right? I'll pay."

He gritted his teeth as he said these words.

The exchange rate for gold and silver in Nanping City fluctuated around one to ten. The modern items he sold were worth twenty taels of gold, equivalent to two hundred taels of silver.

It seemed like a lot, but it was just floating wealth. If he wanted to settle down in Nanping City, he needed to convert this money into assets such as housing, shops, and fields. The prices of these assets were not cheap.

The price of a good acre of land ranged from twelve to eighteen taels of silver, with adjustments depending on the location. He needed to purchase at least three acres to ensure he wouldn't go hungry, five acres to have extra money to hire help for farming, and around ten acres to achieve a comfortable life.

Housing prices, on the other hand, were cheap. With twenty taels of silver, he could buy a small courtyard of over a hundred square meters in an ordinary area of Nanping City. But this was purely a consumption expense. If he wanted to do business, he would definitely need to buy a property that combined residential and commercial use, which would be more expensive. At the very least, it would cost fifty taels or more, doubling the price compared to regular residential housing, and that's not even considering the capital needed for business.

Not to mention that there would also be expenses before and after purchasing assets, such as hiring a dentist, going through the procedures at the yamen, and visiting neighbors... These were customs and rules that he had learned from the locals. If he didn't follow the rules, he wouldn't be able to integrate into the local community, and these expenses would also require some silver.

And before everything was settled, he still had to pay for the daily expenses at the inn, including three meals, which amounted to almost one tael per day.

Two hundred taels of silver is not much for him now, and he truly feels heartache for using three taels of silver for a good cause.

But if he doesn't do this good deed, he won't be able to pass the test of his conscience.

It can only be said that a heart of stone needs a price to be cultivated.

The girl was already desperate, but she didn't expect Chu Shen to step forward at this moment. After receiving the silver, she was so excited that she ignored the mud on the ground and knocked her head three times: "Great kindness and virtue, I have no way to repay it. May I ask for the name and residence of the benefactor? After my father's affairs are settled, Chen Ying will dedicate her life to serving the benefactor!"

Chu Shen was not used to this kind of thing and was about to say something, but unexpectedly, as Chen Ying made her move, there was a "ding" sound in his ears, and a virtual screen commonly seen in online games appeared before his eyes, shocking him on the spot.
