“It’s been twenty years…”
Spirit Wood Peak, in a small cottage.
Lin Bai was meditating and cultivating. He was currently at the second level of Qi Refinement, but after reaching the second level, he felt that he had touched a bottleneck and was unable to make further progress for a long time.
After another fruitless cultivation, he opened his eyes and began to recall the experiences of the past twenty years.
When he first arrived in this world and discovered that he had Spiritual Roots, he was overjoyed and thought about how he would be able to fly on a sword or stand on nothing, roam the world, and split mountains with his palms…
But the reality was harsh. Even though he had reached the second level of Qi Refining, he was only slightly stronger than an average person and knew only a few minor spells. His lifespan was not much different from that of an ordinary person, and the only advantage he had was that he could avoid illness due to his cultivation.
During his long practice, he once practiced hard all day to improve his cultivation, thinking that diligence could make up for his lack of talent. However, he didn’t expect that his talent was really too poor. Although he had spiritual roots that could cultivate, the fastest ones among his fellow disciples had already reached the Foundation Building stage, while he was still at the early stage of cultivation.
Since his aptitude was not good, he planned to rely on external help to improve himself.
He had applied to come to Spirit Wood Peak to cultivate and take care of spirit plants here. Although it would delay some of his cultivation time, the sect would reward him with some spirit stones and herbs. Moreover, the spiritual energy here was a bit more concentrated than elsewhere.
He thought that his cultivation would be faster, but he was wrong again!
After several years of bitter cultivation, although he had learned some knowledge about spirit plants, he was still at the second level of Qi Refinement. His spiritual energy had only increased a little. The speed was not faster than before.
Because his cultivation was too slow, he had always been an outer sect disciple and did not have a master.
Of course, his situation was not unique. In fact, it was indeed difficult to cultivate.
Lin Bai’s gaze turned towards the distant spirit field.
There was a burly man hoeing the ground. From time to time, he would make a few spells. That person was already in his sixties and was nourished by the sect’s spiritual energy. Although he was quite old, he still looked like a young man. However, his cultivation was also at the second level of Qi Refinement like Lin Bai.
Without a doubt, this burly man was also stuck!
Further away, there was a stooped figure hoeing the ground. It was an old man who was more than a hundred years old. However, he was still at the first level of Qi Refinement. He was in a worse state than a burly man. The situation of his body and blood were declining, and no one knew how much time he had left.
“It’s really difficult to cultivate…”
Before cultivating, Lin Bai had already planned it out. Once he entered the immortal sect, he would fight with the heavens and the earth, kill his enemies, and seize treasures… However, he did not expect that he could not even have the qualifications to reach that stage.
In a daze, looking at the two people busy in the spiritual field in the distance, Lin Bai seemed to see his future life of cultivation.
“Awakening…”
Suddenly a message appeared in Lin Bai’s mind, he thought he heard it wrong.
“Awaken the ‘More Children, More Blessings’ System!”
The words appeared in Lin Bai’s mind.
As long as he continued to marry and have children, the more children he had, the stronger he would be. His lifespan would also increase. The more children he had, the more reward he would have in the future. To put it simply, his future cultivation would be smooth sailing. He could increase his cultivation by having kids!
There was always a way out! Lin Bai’s eyes lit up.
The sect he was in was called the Human Immortal Sect. It was said that before the ancestor who founded the sect ascended, he traveled all over the world and finally established the Human Immortal Sect. This sect occupied a large area, and most of it was filled with spiritual energy. However, it seemed that the sect’s luck was not enough, and outstanding disciples became fewer with each generation.
Because of this, people with weaker spiritual roots like Lin Bai would be recruited.
In addition, the sect allowed the disciples to have partners. For example, it was said that Sect Master had three partners and more than ten children who also lived in the sect.
“I’m going to find a partner now!” Lin Bai could not wait.
He began to recall which female cultivator was closer to him since he entered the sect.
Actually, when he joined the sect, he was only in his twenties. There were also a few female cultivators who came in at the same time. At that time, they exchanged their names and said that they would take care of each other in the future.
And then, there was nothing further.
Because not long after, those female cultivators all clung to some senior disciples with higher cultivation levels.
With his poor aptitude, he could only stay with people in the same circle. However, female cultivators with poor aptitude could fit into the higher circle with their connections.
Therefore, he only knew male cultivators with the same mediocre aptitudes.
For example, the brawny man who was busy in the field and the old man who was busy in the field.
“Why don’t I go outside the sect and find a mortal woman to marry?” Lin Bai’s heart skipped a beat. He was at the bottom of the sect, but it was different outside.
Those who had spiritual roots are rare, with one out of tens of thousands of ordinary people. Although he was only at the second level of Qi Refinement, he could still use some simple spells.
If he was willing to marry a mortal woman, it would be a piece of cake.
At this moment, fluctuations of Formation Spell came.
This means that someone has come.
There weren’t many cultivators who came to the spirit fields on normal days. Most of them came to get herbs, and those who were on duty in the spirit fields would receive the fluctuations of Formation Spell
However, Lin Bai did not have the time to care about these things. He wanted to get married and have children as soon as possible.
However, the two people who appeared in the distance lit up his eyes.
They were two female cultivators!
One of them looked more mature. He had seen her a few times when he came here to collect herbs.
The other one looked a little younger and looked a little like the rumored junior female disciple.
A few years ago, it was said that a young girl with excellent talent came to the sect. Her name was Li Yueling. As soon as she entered the sect, she cultivated to the second level of Qi Refinement in less than a month.
Now that several years had passed, it was said that she had long surpassed the fifth level of Qi Refinement. Moreover, she was good-looking and had a lively personality. She was very popular in the sect.
Due to her talent, she had entered the inner sect long ago. She was addressed as Little Junior Sister before she entered the inner sect.
After entering the inner sect, these outer sect disciples no longer dared to call her Little Junior Sister. When they saw her, they could only call her Senior Sister.
From afar, Lin Bai saw them talking and laughing. From time to time, they would push each other. He did not know what interesting things they were talking about.
At this moment, Lin Bai was already waiting for them at the place where the herbs were collected.
As soon as the two female cultivators entered, Lin Bai stood up to receive them.
However, these two people were no longer smiling like they were on the way here. Little Junior Sister Li Yueling’s face still had a touch of redness, and she looked very cute.
“Little Junior Sister, are you here to get some herbs?” As soon as Lin Bai said that, he felt that things were going to be bad. He had been thinking about finding a woman in the mortal world to have children with, and then he thought of Little Junior Sister’s achievements.
He had instinctively called her by that name.
But could just anyone call her Little Junior Sister? She was now an inner sect disciple, and if she were to take offense, he would be in trouble.
The mature-looking woman snorted coldly and threw a list of herbs over. She didn’t even bother to say anything.
On the other hand, Little Junior Sister Li Yueling’s expression did not change much. Instead, she looked at Lin Bai with curious eyes.
This was because since she entered the inner sect, almost no outer sect disciple dared to call her that name.
But upon closer inspection, Li Yueling felt an inexplicable feeling from Lin Bai, and her face flushed.
