Cultivating Immortality in a Family: I Prove Immortality Through the Chaotic Dao Realm

Chapter 227 Mysterious Lord, your new concubine has been delivered, please check! (Thanks to Boss An Qi!)
Little Lingxi and Little Yi'an each clung tightly to their father's hair, giggling like two little chicks foraging for food.

Poor Chen Qian dared not circulate his powerful qi and blood at all, otherwise the two little ones would have been thrown away and left to be "ravaged" by them.

The two little ones are actually over two years old and almost two years old respectively, and they are clearly both exceptionally intelligent and quick-witted.

For most children, it takes at least three years of age to be able to speak a complete sentence, but Xiao Yi'an and her brother spoke quite fluently after they were just over one year old.

After the time with his children, Chen Qian had the maids take the children away. It was getting late, and it was time for them to wash up and rest.

……

Chen Qian had just returned to the back hall and hadn't even sat down when his three wives, Chen Yunyi, Chen Yunxi, and Feng Momo, arrived at the hall at the same time. Yunxi was also holding some scrolls in her hand.

Chen Qian was somewhat surprised to see the three women arrive together.

Although he had many women, they would usually come to keep him company at different times.

If they came together, they must have something important to discuss. Chen Qian couldn't help but look at the scroll in Chen Yunxi's hand.

"Lord Xuanzun, your new concubine's portrait has been delivered. Please receive it!"

When Chen Qian looked over, Chen Yunxi teased him.

Chen Qian suddenly realized what it was all about.

As a newly promoted Foundation Establishment cultivator from a cultivation family, and being young and vigorous, if he wanted to get married, many cultivation families with whom he had good relations would send him eligible daughters.

Putting aside other matters, the Zhao and Qian families, who have always maintained close ties with the Chen family, will definitely each occupy one spot.

Chen Ruiang's ancestor then married one woman from each of the two families, which became an implicit tradition.

Unfortunately, these two great-grandmothers failed to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage and have already passed away.

The Chen family's daughter will also marry into the Zhao and Qian families, further strengthening the alliance between the three families.

Needless to say, those small Qi Refining families would fight tooth and nail for the limited spots.

After all, once someone is favored by a Foundation Establishment Ancestor, it's like having a powerful backer, which naturally makes their family flock to them.

Moreover, at his current age, Chen Qian has already become a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and in the future, he may even have the opportunity to achieve the Core Formation stage, making him stand out among the many cultivation families in the Li Kingdom.

Such a dazzling and peerless genius is comparable to a young and domineering CEO from Blue Star in her previous life to female cultivators who are at the Qi Refining stage. His destructive power is enormous. Not to mention becoming a concubine, even becoming a maid would attract countless female cultivators who would throw themselves at him.

If he hadn't already married Chen Yunxi, it's estimated that all the few Foundation Establishment female cultivators in the southwest region under the Beast Taming Sect's jurisdiction would have come to volunteer themselves.

After the news of Chen Qian's intention to take a concubine spread, in addition to the Zhao and Qian families each sending three or four of their legitimate daughters for him to choose from, other small Qi Refining families were extremely proactive, and the atmosphere was lively. They found familiar high-ranking members of the Chen family and sent them information on the women in their clans.

The total number is heading straight for over a hundred.

This was only because the Chen family set the conditions of being under twenty years old and having a spiritual root of at least the middle grade, thus eliminating most of the candidates, so the number did not actually exceed one hundred.

Of course, even those with low-grade spiritual roots who have the talent for martial arts can succeed.

Even if the spiritual roots are of the same grade, there can be a significant difference in cultivation speed, which is due to whether one has the talent for martial arts.

Those with exceptional martial arts talent possess high physical potential and extensive meridians. Even with the same efficiency in absorbing spiritual energy, their bodies can accommodate and refine more magical power, making it easier for them to break through bottlenecks.

As for other implicit conditions, such as being beautiful with long legs, being chaste, and having good character, there is no need to specifically mention them.

If there are any discrepancies, none of the families will recommend anyone, otherwise it may be seen as contempt and disrespect, which will not only fail to build rapport but may also create estrangement.

The task of this initial selection naturally fell to the elders of the family and Chen Qian's current wives.

Chen Qian has been back at Qianlong Mountain for about ten days. Chen Yunxi and the other women evaluated the candidates recommended by the elders one by one, and also considered the information held by the family, and finally determined the final candidate.

"Husband, look, these are all the ones that my sister, Momo, Yueshang and I chose together, the ones that we find most pleasing to the eye."

Chen Yunxi and the other two smiled sweetly, pulled Chen Qian to sit down together, surrounded him, placed the scroll in their hands on the jade table, and made as if to open it.

Chen Qian reached out and placed his hand on the back of his wife's hand, gently grasping it.

Chen Yunxi's fingers are slender and long, like green onions and white bamboo shoots. They feel extremely warm and smooth to the touch, like a piece of fine warm jade.

Chen Qian felt so comfortable that he didn't want to let go.

"Are you really not bothered?" Chen Qian asked solemnly, his eyes sweeping over his wives.

The idea of ​​letting his wife choose his concubine made Chen, the young master, feel somewhat embarrassed, as he still retained some of the modern ideas of Earth deep down.

Although... there weren't many, Chen Qian swore there were some.

"My husband is overthinking it," Chen Yunyi said, shaking her head.

“Yes, Brother Qian, this is our business. Or would you like to choose for yourself?” Feng Momo glanced at Chen Qian coquettishly and asked.

"Of course not," Chen Qian quickly denied.

"Then let me ask you, with all these beauties around, will you neglect me and Yunxi?" Feng Momo asked seriously.

"That goes without saying, absolutely impossible!" Chen Qian said decisively.

“That’s it.” Feng Momo smiled. “We are all cultivators. As our cultivation level increases, it will become increasingly difficult to have offspring, and our seclusion time will become longer and longer.”

Feng Momo's eyes also showed some hesitation: "But we all know that our husbands need to have many children, which is crucial to their path. So, we can only ask more sisters to help."

Chen Yunyi stood up, came behind Chen Qian, placed her delicate hand on his shoulder, and gently massaged it to relieve his fatigue after the body-training.

Then, continuing from Feng Momo's words, he said, "My husband is a man of great stature and an incomparably noble and supreme being. It is their blessing that these women can serve him."

"We are more favored by our husbands and will not be jealous, so please rest assured, husband."

After spending several days together intimately, Chen Yunyi changed her address at Chen Qian's request. Now, her aloofness has faded considerably, and she is much more gentle and charming.

Of course, this only applies to Chen Qian.

She becomes even colder when facing outsiders.

Having grown up in a world based on cultivation families, they found it difficult to understand the sense of guilt Chen Qian felt.

In their view, it is only natural for powerful males to have a large number of mates.

Those with exceptional talent will have more descendants, ensuring the prosperity of their families and giving humanity the strength to fight against monsters and beastmen.

The couple opened up to each other, sharing their thoughts openly, which made their time together more comfortable and pleasant. Chen Qian also let go of his worries.

Like most men in the world, he inevitably likes new things, but his underlying personality is that of someone who cherishes the past.

If this desire for novelty and attachment to the past truly create a conflict, he does indeed value the feelings of his former lover more.

Now that I'm free from these worries, I feel a sense of clarity in my mind, and my mood has improved considerably.

"To have the favor of all of you ladies is truly my greatest fortune!" Chen Qian said happily as he pulled all three women into his arms and kissed each of them on the cheek.

Yunxi, Momo, and Chen Qian were already an "old married couple," so they each easily and naturally punched Chen Qian with their little fists before accepting it with smiles.

But Chen Yunyi wasn't even a bride yet, and this was the first time she had been intimate with Chen Qian in front of anyone else, not even her best friend, which made her extremely shy.

He turned to leave, but Chen Qian stopped him, saying, "We still need to look at the portrait together!"

As he spoke, Chen Qian gestured to Feng Momo to open the scroll on the jade table.

……

There were portraits of six beautiful women in total. Feng Momo and Chen Yunxi opened them one by one and displayed them to Chen Qian.

The first portrait at the top is of Zhao Jingni, the eldest daughter of the Zhao family and a cousin of Zhao Jinglan.

In the portrait, she is spirited and graceful, pure and lively, a lovely and sunny young girl.

“I’ve met this Zhao girl a few times. She’s a likable, clever and lively person,” Chen Yunyi said softly.

"The third daughter of the Zhao family, though her spiritual root is of low grade, has extraordinary talent in martial arts. Her cultivation level is the fourth level of Qi Refining, and she is only sixteen years old." Chen Yunxi read the annotation at the bottom of the scroll to Chen Qian.

“I like her personality, so I chose her from among the Zhao family’s daughters,” Feng Momo said with a smile.

“Sure! We’ll do as Momo says.” Chen Qian had no reason to object.

Anyway, he hadn't seen the others either.

"Hmm, look at this one too." Feng Momo said with a smile, pointing to another painting next to her.

The second scroll depicts a tall, slender woman with an elegant demeanor.

Her eyebrows and eyes were exquisitely beautiful, her nose was straight and delicate, and her cherry lips were slightly pursed, exuding a gentle and serene air unique to a lady from a prominent family.

A simple moon-colored dress accentuated her flawless skin, and her delicate hands were gently clasped in front of her, exuding grace and elegance.

The scroll bears the inscription: "Qian Yuzheng, the second daughter of the second branch of the Qian family, with a mid-grade wood and metal spiritual root, at the fifth level of Qi Refining, aged seventeen."

“Qian’s younger sister, Yuzheng,” Chen Yunyi tapped lightly beside the painting with her fingertip, her voice cool yet appreciative, “is renowned in Longshe Ridge for her ‘wise mind and gentle nature,’ her temperament is gentle and upright, her manners are impeccable, and her demeanor is naturally elegant.”

Chen Yunxi also laughed and said, "It is said that this young lady from the Qian family is quite skilled in painting, and no sister in the family can match her in this ability."

Feng Momo blinked: "Hmm, she looks like a gentle and considerate girl, she must have a very good temper."

“The Qian family and my Chen family have been on good terms for generations. This girl looks very gentle and proper. Not bad.” Chen Qian nodded, thinking to himself that perhaps he could help Yun Xi manage Qianlong Mountain.

Then, Chen Qian looked at the third painting.

The beauty depicted in this scroll has bright eyes and white teeth, and a natural, faint, vibrant smile on her lips, as if sunlight is dancing on her face.

Wearing a simple and neat pale yellow outfit, she accentuated her slender yet powerful waist, making her look exceptionally vibrant.

The bottom of the scroll reads: "Chu Lingyi, the youngest daughter of the Chu family, a small family of weapon refiners, with a low-grade fire spirit root, excellent talent in body refinement, and at the third level of Qi Refining, aged fifteen."

"Wow! This little girl is full of energy!" Feng Momo exclaimed excitedly. "Don't underestimate her because of her young age. She's quite famous among the many vassal families, and many young men in the family admire her!"

“That’s right! This girl is feisty but straightforward. I heard she has been born with superhuman strength since she was a child. Ordinary male cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining are far inferior to her in strength!” Chen Yunxi nodded and added.

"This woman possesses fiery energy, a robust physique, and abundant yin energy. Her physical constitution is exceptionally rare. If you, my husband, are willing to nurture her, she will surely achieve great things in time," Chen Yunyi concluded.

Looking at that vibrant smile, Chen Qian felt a surge of joy. This kind of enthusiastic and cheerful young woman naturally possessed an aura that attracted male attention, and few men could resist her charm.

As the fourth scroll was unfurled, a subtle fragrance seemed to instantly fill the hall.

The woman in the painting is dressed in a light purple gauze dress that flows like clouds. Her figure is so supple and boneless, and her waist bends gently, as if she might ride the wind away at any moment.

Her face was exceptionally beautiful, with a hint of melancholy and scholarly air about her. Her slender fingers held a scroll of books, and the background was a corner of a misty pond.

The label reads: "Tantai Tianxiang is a woman from a collateral branch of the Tantai family, a family of alchemists. She has a middle-grade water and wood spiritual root, is at the fourth level of Qi Refining, is skilled in identifying plants, has a rudimentary understanding of alchemy, and is 29 years old."

“Miss Tantai is quiet and gentle, loves books, and is especially skilled in cultivating spiritual plants and identifying their medicinal properties. However, she lacks experience in alchemy and her skill level is not high,” Chen Yunyi said calmly. “But she is not lacking in talent and may be a good helper to Sujin.”

Feng Momo added, "Our family is in dire need of such talent! Otherwise, Su Jin will be exhausted sooner or later. It's a pity that she doesn't have the talent in this area; all she knows is how to wield a sword."

"Your swordsmanship is excellent, that's a great skill. Don't underestimate yourself," Chen Qian said with a smile, gently flicking Xiao Qingmei's pert nose.

The woman in the fifth painting is not dressed up and sitting in her boudoir, but rather stands with her face bare by a bamboo grove and stream.

In the painting, she is dressed in a simple blue robe, her long hair casually tied up with a bamboo hairpin, revealing her smooth and full forehead and a pair of clear and bright eyes.

She possesses an extremely clean and pure temperament, untouched by worldly dust, like a mountain spirit.

The small print at the bottom reads: "Han Youwei, the eldest daughter of the Han family, a small clan, possesses a low-grade lightning-type spiritual root, is at the fourth level of Qi Refining, and has a pure and resilient nature. She is seventeen years old."

“This younger sister comes from a small vassal family of the Lu family that has been destroyed,” Chen Yunxi explained. “Now that the Lu family is gone, our Chen family will naturally take over and serve these small forces that made a living under their control.”

Chen Yunyi interjected, "Choosing her is also a way of setting an example, showing that my Chen family will treat all small families that have sincerely submitted equally."

Looking at the clear eyes of the woman in the painting, Feng Momo nodded and said, "The family's Foreign Affairs Hall has investigated the situation of this Sister Han, and the reputation is very good."

Chen Qian nodded slightly.

This woman possesses a lightning-type spiritual root, although it is only of low grade. However, Chen Qian does not care, as the Destiny Wheel Realm exists; it just requires more resources.

If it can be cultivated, its combat strength will be much stronger than that of ordinary five-element spiritual roots, and it can be regarded as an unpolished gem.

Chen Yunxi unfolded the last painting. In the painting, a young girl sat gracefully under a blooming magnolia tree, dressed in white, her hair as black as clouds.

Her features were so exquisite, as if they had been meticulously drawn stroke by stroke, especially her pair of bright, clear eyes, which shone with a cool yet shy light as she looked around.

Her beauty carried a hint of fragility, like a fine piece of porcelain, easily arousing a protective instinct in people.
