The Longevity Family: Starting From The Branches And Leaves

Chapter 4: Shen the Shopkeeper Plays Matchmaker (Please Collect and Follow)

Regarding taking concubines,

Chen Ling naturally desired it.

Now that he had the golden finger, taking concubines was related to his own incense value, so he naturally had to be careful.

In terms of cultivation, they definitely couldn't surpass him.

Those with unknown backgrounds were also off-limits.

It would be best if they were as obedient and sensible as his wife.

Appearance wasn't a particularly important requirement, even widows could be considered.

The main thing was that they had to meet the requirements of incense value.

They had to be able to bear children.

It would be even better if they had spiritual roots.

Chen Ling didn't know why Shen Zhen suddenly thought of matchmaking for him.

If it were before, he would naturally have refused without hesitation, but now it was a different story.

And at this moment, he saw in front of him, [Family Progress: Successfully taking concubines, will gain 20 incense value!]

"20 incense value, it might even allow me to advance my cultivation to another level!" Chen Ling's eyes scanned the panel, his heart burning with excitement.

Seeing Chen Ling hesitating, Shen Zhen furrowed his brows slightly and said, "Chen Ling, I won't hide it from you."

Hearing this, Chen Ling couldn't help but be stunned. Shen Zhen's matchmaking seemed to have some hidden meaning, but he wasn't in a hurry to express his stance. Shen Zhen would naturally explain everything to him when the time was right.

"Ah, it's all because of having a fierce wife."

Shen Zhen sighed deeply, then looked at Chen Ling with a sympathetic tone and said, "You are also a son-in-law of the He family, but not everyone is as lucky as you to marry a virtuous woman like Yun Xiu's niece!"

Chen Ling was surprised in his heart. Shen Zhen's wife was from the Qin family's direct line, it seemed that Shen Zhen wasn't having an easy time in the Qin family either.

But his expression remained calm.

It was normal for a son-in-law to be mindful of the host's mood.

Then Shen Zhen sighed again, "I have been friends with Chu Xiong for many years. He has been stuck at the Qi Refining stage for many years. In order to obtain the Foundation Building pill rewarded by the Qingyang Sect, he went to the Yunmeng Swamp. He left Chu Yu for me to take care of."

"Chu Yu has triple spiritual roots, with a strong and intelligent personality. Originally, I introduced her to the Qin family's spiritual medicine garden to be a spiritual plant husband. But who knew that your aunt would hear the wind and rain from somewhere and suspect that Chu Yu is my illegitimate daughter, and insisted on driving her away."

"She's just a girl at the Qi Refining stage, without any support, it would be difficult for her to survive in this city."

"If you marry her, it would be helping your uncle. I won't let you suffer any loss."

If Chen Ling hadn't become a middle-grade alchemist, Shen Zhen wouldn't have played matchmaker for him.

Now, marrying Chu Yu to Chen Ling not only helped solve his own troubles, but also gained his favor.

Although Chen Ling's aptitude was average, he was reliable and worth cultivating.

Chen Ling finally understood.

It turned out that Shen Zhen was matchmaking for him to resolve his family conflicts.

Thinking about it, with Shen Zhen's status, he wouldn't lie to him.

And this matter was also beneficial to himself.

It would not only allow him to explain to his wife, but also save a large sum of matchmaking money, and Shen Zhen would owe him a favor. Why not do it?

But he still showed a hesitant expression and asked, "Uncle Shen, if my aunt finds out about this, she won't blame me, right?"

From Shen Zhen's words, he could tell that his wife, Qin Feiyan, was an extremely dominant person.

Not only was her cultivation high, she also came from a Foundation Building family.

No matter what, he didn't dare to provoke her!

"You can rest assured about this. Your aunt is just overly suspicious, she's not someone who doesn't understand etiquette!" Shen Zhen hurriedly smiled and said.

Chen Ling thought for a moment, reluctantly clasped his fists and said, "Uncle Shen has always taken care of his nephew. I'll leave this matter to Uncle Shen!"

Shen Zhen's face immediately showed a pleased expression, nodded, and said, "You go back first, I'll bring her to your house later. As for other formalities, you can handle them yourselves."

Chen Ling's face remained calm, but he was quite delighted in his heart. His luck today was off the charts!

Leaving the shop,

Chen Ling found forty low-grade spirit stones in his storage bag, his heart filled with excitement.

Even after so long of transmigrating, he had never been this wealthy before.

But the forty spirit stones quickly ran out.

The reason is that he bought a bottle of low-level Detoxification Pill and a bottle of low-level Qi Refining Pill from other shops.

Each bottle only has three pills, but it cost him twenty spirit stones.

In addition, he also bought dozens of spirit boards, a month's worth of spiritual rice and meat, as well as other nourishing ingredients.

There are only five spirit stones left in his storage bag!

Of course, he is cautious when buying things to prevent being targeted by malicious people!

Soon, with a full harvest, Chen Ling returned home.

He pushed open the door.

He saw his wife holding their child, pacing back and forth in the courtyard, occasionally looking out the window, eagerly waiting for him to come back.

Or rather, every time Chen Ling goes to the market, she always looks like this.

Since He Jing's fall, she has been extra nervous every time Chen Ling goes out.

She worries too much about his safety!

But overall, Hongye Lane is not too far from the market, and it is also within the occasional patrol range of the sect's law enforcement team.

As long as he doesn't flaunt his wealth and is cautious, he generally won't be targeted by robbers.

Moreover, Chen Ling has always been focused on his tasks. Apart from going to Duobao Pavilion, he only buys daily necessities and doesn't go anywhere else.

Besides.

Since He Jing's fall, not only is his success rate in refining artifacts extremely low, he also has to suppress the toxic energy in his body. Where would he have any extra spirit stones?

The neighbors in the vicinity also know that he is extremely poor, and no one would waste their energy targeting him. It's not worth the effort!

"You go rest first, I'll make you a sumptuous meal tonight!"

Chen Ling put some meat and spiritual rice into the kitchen storage container.

Seeing Chen Ling take out a large amount of spiritual rice and meat from the storage bag, He Yunxiu's eyes lit up, and she quickly handed the child to Chen Ling, smiling, "Let me do it!"

The physique of a cultivator is much stronger than that of an ordinary person. After a day of rest, He Yunxiu has already recovered.

Chen Ling took the child and played with him for a while.

Before long, the sky gradually darkened.

His wife had also prepared a sumptuous meal.

"Husband, you've been working hard on drawing the forbidden spell, you need to replenish yourself."

He Yunxiu said with concern.

Having just given birth to a child and her husband successfully drawing a second-level forbidden spell, she was extremely happy.

"Yunxiu, when I went to Duobao Pavilion today, Uncle Shen asked me for a favor!"

Chen Ling took the meat soup that his wife had prepared for him, thought for a moment, and decisively said.

"What's the matter? Is it dangerous?"

Safety is always He Yunxiu's top concern.

"Oh! Uncle Shen asked me to take a concubine!"

He couldn't help but sigh.

In the future, in order to obtain more incense value, taking concubines would definitely become a daily routine.

After all, other ways of obtaining incense value are difficult to avoid danger for him.

For the sake of his own safety, he can only choose this path!

"Husband, what's going on?"

He Yunxiu's face showed a puzzled expression, and then she asked. She also knew Shen Zhen's character and knew that he wouldn't mention this for no reason!

In the cultivation world, it is normal for male cultivators to have three wives and four concubines, and she wouldn't be surprised by such a thing!

Chen Ling immediately explained the situation to his wife.

Of course, he emphasized that he was passively accepting it.

Although the meaning is not much different, it would make He Yunxiu feel better.

Looking at her husband's slightly anxious expression, He Yunxiu frowned and said, "Husband, the matter of taking concubines is up to you. Just treat Yun'er and Ping'er well in the future."

She had long accepted this matter, and her belief was that more children bring more blessings.

Having one more sister also means having one more person to share the responsibilities at home.

Chen Ling breathed a sigh of relief, held her hand, and felt a warmth in his heart. His wife is really considerate and obedient.
