Green Bamboo Mountain was not just one mountain, but a mountain range, covered with crystal-clear green bamboos.
Upon entering the mountain, Lu Changsheng could clearly feel that the air was much fresher and more moist.
Mountain streams flowed, kingfishers chirped, and on some slopes, terraced fields were cultivated, growing grains, wheat, and vegetables, like a secluded paradise.
The Lu Family had built villages and manors throughout this mountain.
Lu Changsheng and the other immortal seedlings were settled in the Green Bamboo Manor on the outskirts.
"Below this Green Bamboo Manor lies a first-grade Spiritual Vein. From now on, you will reside here and Cultivate in peace."
"You can rest assured that as long as you fulfill the conditions we agreed upon earlier, you can choose to leave the Lu Family or stay with the Lu Family in the future."
"Butler Fu, please settle them in."
Lu Yuanding gave a few simple instructions and then departed.
"I am the steward of this Green Bamboo Manor. You can also call me Butler Fu. Now, follow me."
Butler Fu was an old man with graying hair and a slightly hunched back.
After introducing himself, he led everyone to complete the formalities and also introduced some details about the Green Bamboo Manor.
The Green Bamboo Manor was very large. Besides them, the Lu Family's own immortal seedlings also lived and Cultivated here.
However, most of them were collateral descendants with ordinary talent.
Those with good talent generally resided in the core area of Green Bamboo Mountain, where there was a second-grade Spiritual Vein, and the Spiritual Qi was even more concentrated.
Along the way, everyone saw many Lu Family descendants.
These people also curiously observed Lu Changsheng and the others, like watching monkeys, with a hint of disdain and arrogance in their eyes.
Lu Changsheng, however, remained quite calm about this.
To put it nicely, they were foreign descendants marrying into the Family.
To put it bluntly, they were here for breeding.
However, through observation, he could tell that the Lu Family's descendants, both male and female, were all quite good-looking.
This also made him feel slightly more at ease about the subsequent 'breeding'.
Since they were here to be live-in sons-in-law and have children, wouldn't they hope the women were attractive?
Lu Changsheng admitted he was a sucker for good looks.
An hour later.
Under Butler Fu's arrangements, Lu Changsheng and the others signed the live-in son-in-law contract, processed their identity plaques, received their immortal Cultivation Technique, and were assigned their living quarters.
Their residence was a private courtyard, covering approximately two hundred square meters, built with pavilions, terraces, and towers, all fully equipped.
Lu Changsheng sat on the large bed in his room and took out the immortal Cultivation Technique.
"Return to Origin Art"
As soon as he opened the manual, an old man in a gray robe appeared, striking a pose, and began to explain how to Cultivate, in great detail.
"As expected of an immortal Cultivation method, it even has video functionality."
Lu Changsheng couldn't help but glance at the manual in his hand a few times. He couldn't figure out the principle behind the manual displaying figures and producing sound, finding it very magical.
Then, following the guidance of the figure in the manual, he began to attempt to Cultivate.
After a long attempt, Lu Changsheng finally entered a state, his mind clear, feeling wisps of colorful Spiritual Qi around him.
Knowing that he had completed the first step, sensing Spiritual Qi, he then attempted to guide the Qi into his body.
Under his control, the Spiritual Qi slowly gathered towards him, entering his body through the pores all over his body.
This process was very slow, and after the Spiritual Qi entered the body, it needed to circulate for one full cycle before a wisp of Spiritual Qi could remain in the Dantian Qi Sea.
During the circulation of the Spiritual Qi, it would also nourish the body's flesh, meridians, and bones, slowly expelling Impurities from the body, thereby cleansing the marrow and transforming the bones.
A night passed.
"Is this a Ninth-Rank Spiritual Root?"
"At this rate, it will take forever for me to Breakthrough to the first layer of Qi Refining."
Looking at the faint, cool Qi in his Dantian Qi Sea, Lu Changsheng smiled bitterly.
This was still Cultivating in a place with a Spiritual Vein.
If it were in a place without a Spiritual Vein, the speed would be even slower.
At this moment, Lu Changsheng also gained a deep understanding of the difficulty of immortal Cultivation.
"Phew! It seems I can only rely on the System."
Lu Changsheng let out a long breath.
He knew that relying on his own efforts to Cultivate was simply unrealistic; he could only rely on the System.
"I wonder when the Lu Family will arrange a wife?"
Lu Changsheng thought.
"Ding ding ding!"
Just then, the bell in the courtyard rang.
Someone had arrived.
Lu Changsheng walked out of the room and opened the courtyard gate.
"Lu Changsheng, our Lu Family has already arranged a welcoming banquet to receive you all. Follow me."
At the entrance, Butler Fu spoke.
Behind him, other immortal seedlings were already present.
"Welcoming banquet?"
Hearing the words "welcoming banquet," Lu Changsheng had a faint guess in his heart and nodded, saying, "Alright."
Then, Butler Fu called all twelve immortal seedlings and led them to a spacious and elegant hall in the Green Bamboo Manor.
There were no other people inside, only twelve seats arranged, with fine wine and delicacies already laid out.
After everyone took their seats, it wasn't long before a stream of young women, each with their own unique charm, entered the hall.
Sure enough.
Seeing these women, Lu Changsheng immediately knew he had guessed correctly.
This welcoming banquet was precisely to arrange 'breeding'.
There were fifty to sixty women who entered the hall, all of them good-looking.
Although there were no women as stunning as Lu Miaoge, there were many beauties, no less than some internet celebrities or stars of his previous life.
These women had clearly prepared and dressed up well, with varied appearances and makeup.
Some were petite and cute, with playful personalities;
Some had simple makeup, gentle and elegant;
Some had eyebrows like sharp blades, dressed in tight outfits, looking heroic and spirited;
Some wore elaborate palace dresses, with their hair coiled up, dignified and graceful;
There were also some with cold expressions, like icebergs; some with graceful figures, enchanting and alluring; some dressed in hazy light gauze, with long legs and high heels, seductive and alluring, and so on... It could be said that among so many styles, there was always one to capture your heart.
"This scale of arrangement is quite something!"
Lu Changsheng looked at the boundless beauty of the women before him, praising in his heart.
He felt that the Lu Family was indeed generous in this regard, beyond words.
As expected, it was a proper immortal Cultivation Family!
"These are all excellent women from our Green Bamboo Lu Family in the secular world. They are not only educated, well-behaved, and virtuous, but also skilled in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting... All are pure..."
"Today, they will host a welcoming banquet for you all."
"You may choose the person you fancy, and I will arrange your wedding."
Butler Fu spoke.
After speaking, he left the hall, leaving only Lu Changsheng and the eleven others, along with the Lu Family women.
Lu Changsheng and the others didn't even need to take the initiative; these women came forward to each of their seats on their own.
Although they were secular women of the Lu Family, most of them were also descendants of immortal Cultivators.
Coming here, there was naturally no compulsion; all came voluntarily.
They hoped to choose a favored immortal seedling, give birth to a child with a Spiritual Root, and rise in status through their child in the future.
Therefore, in this welcoming banquet, the initiative was more in their hands.
Lu Changsheng, born into a farming Family in this life, was rather plain-looking.
Coupled with his Ninth-Rank Spiritual Root, only three women came to his side.
He didn't mind this and simply embraced all of them.
One must know when to be content.
Three was pretty good.
Moreover, these three girls were all quite nice.
One was pure and cute, with a playful personality.
One was pure and cute with a hint of allure, giving off a feeling of both innocence and desire.
And another had a gentle face and an elegant personality, carrying the scholarly aura of a well-bred young lady.
The first two girls had quite similar appearances, about seventy to eighty percent alike, so they should be sisters.
This was enough!
If he could have found three wives like these in his previous life, his ancestral grave would truly be smoking green.
Compared to Lu Changsheng's initiative, the other eleven were much more resistant.
For example, Li Feiyu, because of his heroic appearance and Seven-Rank Spiritual Root, had seven girls actively approaching him.
But he only chose one modest, pretty girl and dismissed the others.
An hour later.
The welcoming banquet ended.
Everyone had chosen their 'intended'.
Except for Lu Changsheng, who chose three, the others only chose one or two.
They still harbored thoughts of immortal Cultivation.
It was just that because they had signed a contract with the Lu Family, they temporarily chose one person as a gesture.
They hoped that after achieving success in Cultivation, they could change their status.
Subsequently, under Butler Fu's arrangement, the twelve held their wedding banquet that very day.
The wedding was kept simple; after the procedures were completed, it was time for the bridal chamber.
"My wives."
"Husband x3!"
In the bridal chamber, Lu Changsheng looked at the three enchanting and uniquely graceful wives before him and drew the bed curtains.
That year, Lu Changsheng was eighteen and married three wives.
The well-bred young lady was named Lu Lanshu.
The pure and alluring one was named Lu Zier.
The pure and cute one was named Lu Qinger.
They were a pair of sisters.
