Chapter 397 Marrying and Having Children

Lingxi County, home.

Although I haven't been back for a few years, the scene at home is no different from before. The biggest changes are people and the little yellow dog.

Smelling Qingluan's scent, the little yellow dog wagged its tail, excitedly raised its front legs, stood up and scratched Qingluan.

"Hehehe, little yellow, you still remember me."

Dogs have a shorter lifespan than humans, generally ten to twenty years. Even if they haven't seen each other for a few times, the little yellow dog still recognized Qingluan at a glance and happily welcomed the little master in the most enthusiastic way.

Dogs are the most loyal family members, which made Qingluan even happier. Her eyes smiled into a crescent shape, and the yard was full of laughter.

The two siblings were invited to sit in the house.

Li Xiang and Chen Ping looked younger, energetic, and vigorous because they took the elixir left by Chen Qingyun.

Knowing that their two children would stay in Lingxi County for a month, they were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths. They began to pull Qingluan to ask how she had been doing these years, and their words were full of love.

"I haven't seen you for a few years. Xiaohua, you have grown up."

"Are you used to the life in the family? Come back and stay for a few more days when you have time. I have left you the bacon you like to eat, and many other foods you like to eat..."

And Chen Wan, Chen Qingyun's sister, has grown into a graceful woman. She is ready to get married, and people have already come to her house to propose marriage.

She was smiling as she served fruits and cakes, and she missed Qingluan very much.

She stayed at home for a few days.

The news that Chen Qingluan returned home quickly spread throughout Lingxi County.

The little girl who once walked out of Lingxi Island has not only entered the path of cultivating immortals, but her cultivation has surpassed Chen Changgu.

Chen Qingluan returned as if she was full of glory, which attracted the envy of many mortals on the island.

This made the outside of Chen Qingluan's house particularly lively. Many people hoped that their children could become the next Chen Qingluan, so they often gathered outside the door to see Chen Qingluan's fairy face.

Fortunately, there was no excessive disturbance.

On this day, Chen Qingyun found Chen Changgu, and while chatting, he talked about the development of Lingxi County.

At present, due to the integration of Yan family mortals, the number of Chen family mortals in Lingxi County is close to 20,000. With such a huge base, the number of rice fields opened on the island is gradually increasing.

Fortunately, these expenses are just small expenses for the Chen family.

What Chen Qingyun is most concerned about now is actually the hidden fairy seedlings here.

According to the family's testing system, the spirit testing conference can actually shorten the time, and it is best to test once a year.

This idea needs to be discussed with the clan leader.

"Qingyun, you are here this time, and there is something I want to talk to you about."

Chen Changgu invited Chen Qingyun to sit down and brewed tea. It seems that there is a lot to talk about.

Chen Qingyun also wanted to chat, so he began to listen carefully, and only heard Chen Changgu say.

"Your eleventh uncle, I am mediocre in talent, only have four spiritual roots, and have only reached the sixth level of Qi Refining after practicing so far. The future achievements can be seen at a glance."

"I thought about it carefully. Instead of wasting family resources, it is better to slow down the practice and put my mind elsewhere."

"I heard before that the clan leader has been worried about increasing the family's population and birth, and has come up with some solutions, such as recruiting casual cultivators to marry into the family, or marrying into the family, or intermarrying with the Yang family, and inviting Yan Wancheng to serve as a guest elder."

"In recent years, the mortals of the Yan family in Lingxi County have been integrated into our bloodline, and everything has developed in an orderly manner."

"These are all good ways, and they have achieved certain results. After thinking about it, I decided that I should start a family."

When Chen Changgu was going to marry and have children, Chen Qingyun's expression moved.

"Eleventh uncle, have you thought it through?"

After a cultivator marries a wife, because he has established a family, the subsequent birth of children will more or less delay his practice.

This is also the reason why many cultivators don't get married early. The more they are in the Qi Refining Stage and the Foundation Building Stage, the more they race against time in their cultivation.

With the ties of their closest relatives, they often seek stability in future training and fighting, or in seclusion with great perseverance. They are unwilling to take risks easily and prefer to practice in a stable manner.

"Haha, what's there to hesitate about."

"According to my talent, I am now 59 years old. It is simply a fantasy to want to reach the ninth level of Qi Refining before the age of 60 by ascending three small realms."

"I know that I can't go far in my cultivation. The top is the ninth level of Qi Refining."

"For me, instead of doing useless work and wasting family resources, I might as well take advantage of this time when I am strong and energetic, and marry a wife and concubines to give birth to one or two immortal seedlings for the family."

"Just like the clan leader said before, contribute your own strength to inherit the family and continue the descendants."

Chen Qingyun listened and really couldn't refute it. Not everyone can go far on the road of cultivation.

As a member of the family cultivator, being able to contribute to the family and shoulder the task of passing on the legacy to future generations is also worthy of praise.

"Qingyun, not everyone can open up the Purple Palace, achieve the Golden Elixir, and become the immortal of the Nine Heavens, eating clouds and drinking dew. Ordinary cultivators must also be allowed to exist."

Chen Changgu looked back on the growth of more than 50 years and the ups and downs he had experienced, and couldn't help but sigh.

"In the family, you, Qingyan, Qinghan and others are following the path. In the future, we can continue to climb higher peaks and see more magnificent scenery."

"For elders like us, when it is difficult to make achievements on the path of Taoism, we can also benefit the family by marrying and having children peacefully and passing on the family to future generations."

"I should have a few children too. Our Chen family should add more immortal seedlings. Only when the family is prosperous and has a solid population base, the family will become more and more prosperous."

"The family can continue for more than two hundred years and develop step by step. There must be people who contribute. This kind of thing must be done by someone."

"It doesn't matter if I succeed or become famous. The management and prosperity of the family are the foundation accumulated by generations of ancestors. Leaving the results to future generations is also my goal."

Hearing this, Chen Qingyun nodded slowly.

Indeed, cultivators like Chen Changgu, with limited resources, have low talents and cultivation levels. Even if they take elixirs such as Ziqi Yinyun Dan to improve their cultivation, it is impossible to reach the ninth level of Qi Refining within a year and then polish their cultivation to impact the Foundation Establishment Period.

Uncle Eleven married and had children to pass on the family tradition, which was also for the benefit of the family.

Not all family monks need to pursue the Tao wholeheartedly. There must always be someone who silently contributes behind the scenes and puts himself in the family’s shoes.

"Uncle Eleven, I respect your decision. Have you talked to the clan leader about this?"

"Of course I did. The clan leader meant that it was up to me to live happily. Having offspring is also a happy thing. I should enjoy my life."

"It is up to you young people to work hard to seek immortality and pursue immortality. Don't blame Uncle Eleven for not having ambition."

"Uncle Eleven, you are too serious. Everyone has the right to choose how to live. I think you are right to do this. The family needs to continue the offspring. I admire you for doing this."

Chen Qingyun smiled faintly and said, "When Uncle Eleven gets married, remember to invite me, your nephew, to drink a glass of wedding wine."

"Hahaha, of course, of course."

Seeing that Uncle Eleven was about to start enjoying a peaceful life, completely letting go of himself, and living a leisurely life, Chen Qingyun felt happy for him.
