I Have No Qualifications, The System Asked Me To Marry A Wife To Practice
Chapter 81: Chaos In The World
Chu Shen has no concept of the chaos and disturbances happening privately on Chongxue Peak. Recently, he has either been fooling around with his concubines and enjoying rewards, or preparing various things for his journey at home.
There's nothing much to say about setting up formations. After obtaining the intermediate formation master skills from the "Qi Yi Intermediate Inheritance," he thought about adding some insurance to his own home. Although the incident with Yuan Tao did not cause serious consequences, it also indicated that Chongxue Peak is not completely peaceful.
One should not have malicious intentions, but one should also not be without precautions!
As for the preparations for the journey, the cultivator market in Nanping City is about to open. He plans to go there to understand the situation, establish some good relationships, and also make a trip back to Nanping City to handle mundane matters.
Chongxue Peak is rich in resources and has a comprehensive knowledge system. For ordinary cultivators, it is definitely a place where they would not want to leave once they arrive.
But Chu Shen is not an ordinary cultivator.
He deeply understands that he lacks a foundation in Dongxuan Heaven. Many of those who study the "797" at Chongxue Peak may appear destitute, but they all have a way out. Even if they are expelled, they have a hometown to return to and at least have the opportunity to develop a cultivator family there. Their descendants can have a chance to return to Chongxue Peak and continue their efforts towards becoming formal disciples of Langxuan Tian Gong.
However, his hometown, Blue Star, is far away and he doesn't know the way back.
He needs to establish a foundation in Dongxuan Heaven, even if not for himself, but for the sake of future generations. After all, the Dao Embryo Pill does not guarantee that his children will have spiritual roots. The daughter of the maid, Weilan, can only be an ordinary person. He has to consider these children and even future generations.
Therefore, he cannot give up on Nanping City until someone from the Chu family can take over this foundation and manage it on his behalf.
The concubines were obedient and knew that he had important matters to attend to in Nanping City. They didn't insist on going with him, but they all asked for his help. Those with family members asked him to deliver letters, while those without family asked him to report their safety to their elders and fellow villagers, and to bring back some things for them.
Chu Shen did not refuse their requests.
After making all the necessary preparations, he instructed the concubines to stay safe at home and entrusted Bai Ying with protecting the Chu family. Then he activated the Langhun Law Scroll and teleported back to the Chu family's residence in Hengyuan.
He didn't alarm the servants.
In fact, there were very few of the original servants of the Chu family left in Hengyuan. Most of them had been sent to various industries or acted as supervisors for business partners of the Chu family.
Now, Hengyuan was filled with women from Nanping City and even some from nearby areas. Most of them were daughters or granddaughters of local officials and gentry, sent by their families with the hope that Chu Shen would take a liking to them and they could gain some immortal fortune.
Not to mention anything else, after Zhao Hu married his granddaughter Zhao Chulu to Chu Shen, he became more energetic and even took two concubines, who became pregnant. Who would believe that he didn't benefit from having Chu Shen as his grandson-in-law?
Of course, everyone wanted to establish a relationship and gain some immortal fortune.
But Chu Shen just found it noisy.
Among mortal women, there were indeed outstanding talents. If he encountered such a person, he would be interested in accepting her. However, the women in Hengyuan were truly unremarkable. The highest level of spiritual talent among them was just average. For him now, it was truly tasteless.
Moreover, they not only represented themselves but also their families behind them. He also had to consider the impact their marriages would have on the situation in Nanping City. The already balanced situation could easily be disrupted, and it would not be worth the loss. So why bother?
Of course, it would be better to avoid these troubles.
With his current cultivation, it is not difficult for him to quietly leave Hengyuan and quickly find the old housekeeper who is in charge of the Chu family's old shop.
This old housekeeper was sent by Zhao Chulu's family, he is experienced and loyal, and now serves as the agent in charge of managing the Chu family's properties. After Hengyuan was occupied by various families, he had to leave with his team and temporarily set up the first shop of the Chu family as the headquarters, overseeing and commanding.
However, he only oversees the front shop, while the residential courtyard remains unchanged, preserving the appearance when Chu Shen and his family lived there, as a sign of respect for the main family. He is a seasoned professional who knows how to handle things appropriately.
Under his management, with the support of Zhao households and other relatives or business partners, the Chu family's properties are well organized and thriving.
After Chu Shen inspected it and was satisfied, he gained a better understanding of the specific situation of his own properties. He instructed the old housekeeper to keep his return a secret and rewarded him with a spiritual energy pill, before going to visit several concubines' families.
The old housekeeper naturally knew the wonders of the spiritual energy pill. His old master, Zhao Chulu, was also given this elixir, which allowed him to maintain his vigor and strength despite his advanced age. He continuously bowed in the direction Chu Shen left, expressing his gratitude.
Chu Shen didn't pay much attention to this. At this moment, he had already arrived at Zhao Chulu's family and met the grandfather of Zhao Chulu.
The old man happened to be taking a break, practicing calligraphy and cultivating his temperament. When he saw Chu Shen visiting, he initially wanted to host a banquet, but Chu Shen quickly declined, saying, "I have something to do this time I came back, and it's not suitable to make a fuss. I just want to inquire about the recent situation in Nanping City. In addition, I was entrusted by Chulu to bring a gift to Grandfather Zhao and inform him that Chulu has given birth to a son who is naturally born with fire spiritual roots and has excellent aptitude..."
Zhao Chulu's grandfather was overjoyed and eagerly asked for more details.
Chu Shen couldn't resist the old man's enthusiasm, so after leaving the special products brought by Zhao Chulu, he quickly left.
Afterwards, he went to report his safety to Hu Chuanshan, Fang Wenjuan, Li Lingyu, and other women, and told them about the recent situation. He left gifts from each family's daughters and granddaughters, which kept him busy for a long time.
During this process, he also gained a more comprehensive understanding of the current situation in the mortal world.
Overall, the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty has become more turbulent. During his absence, many places have suffered severe disasters, and there have been more uprisings in various regions.
To make matters worse, the northern part of the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty has been invaded by barbarians, further exacerbating the turmoil in the world. Nanping City has also been significantly affected, with an increasing number of refugees pouring in.
Fortunately, the agricultural revolution that he initially implemented before leaving has played a significant role. Especially the Taiping Sect, which started the agricultural revolution earliest, has harvested a large amount of grain. This not only stabilized the grain prices in Nanping City but also gradually stabilized the prices in the surrounding areas, creating a relatively stable buffer zone.
However, the stability of Nanping City has attracted more attention. Taxes and levies have been increasing gradually, and the power of Nanping City, led by the county magistrate, is currently engaged in a struggle with the prefect and even higher levels to obtain reasonable tax standards and distribution of levies.
However, many people are not optimistic and have concerns about the future.
This is also one of the important reasons why there are so many people in Hengyuan who are interested in Chu Shen. Many families hope to establish a connection with Chu Shen and distance themselves from all the chaos.
Chu Shen dared not return to Hengyuan and went directly to the Taiping Sect.
Although he had some acquaintance with the Yangyuan Sect and the Yunshan Sword Sect, it was not much. However, the Taiping Sect was the hometown of his fiancée, Cheng Suwei, and their relationship was different.
Cheng Man was very happy to see him and pulled him aside to inquire about his experiences during this period.
Although he felt complicated about this kid marrying several concubines and having several children, Chu Shen was the person chosen by Cheng Suwei as her destined one, and Cheng Man, as his uncle, could only grumble helplessly.
"By the way, how is Suwei doing? Has any news come back?" Chu Shen still cared about his fiancée. He didn't want to be like the Monkey King, and he didn't want Cheng Suwei to suffer like Zixia.
To this, Cheng Man could only shake his head. "The Jade Capital and the Langhuan Heavenly Palace are different. The rules there are strict. But you don't have to worry. Although that girl Suwei is a bit silly, her luck is really good. She will be fine."
