"Oh, recruiting a son-in-law?"
"Providing a Spiritual Vein blessed land and Cultivation Secret Manuals?"
The crowd, eliminated and descending the mountain, stirred upon hearing the words of the man in green robes.
Lu Changsheng's heart was also moved by these words.
Through his recent thoughts and analysis, he realized that given his current situation, joining a Cultivation force would undoubtedly be the best option.
As for becoming a son-in-law, it was just a matter of marrying into the Family; there was nothing to it.
Cultivating, after all, was not shameful.
However, he did not speak, intending to observe first.
After all, there were no free lunches.
He knew nothing about the Qingzhu Mountain Lu Family's situation.
Who knew what this son-in-law recruitment was truly about, or if it was just a facade.
"Excuse me, Senior, what are the requirements for your son-in-law recruitment?"
"I recall that Cultivation Families generally do not Cultivate external Bloodlines, do they?"
Immediately, someone in the crowd spoke up and asked.
Among these eliminated young men and women, many were children of powerful merchants and nobles, or even descendants of Loose Cultivators, who had some understanding of the Cultivation World.
"Heh heh, since my young friend has asked, Lu will not hide anything and will get straight to the point."
"My Lu Family suffered significant losses among its disciples in recent years, leading to a current shortage of fresh talent, which is why we are making this special exception to recruit sons-in-law and bring in new Blood."
"As for the requirements…"
"Within twenty years, you need to produce fifty offspring. If one Medium Grade Spiritual Root or three Low Grade Spiritual Roots appear, the task will also be considered complete."
"During this period, my Lu Family will not only provide you with Spiritual Vein Dao fields and Cultivation Techniques, but also a certain quota of Cultivation resources each month."
The man in green robes looked at the crowd, his expression gentle and refined, and slowly spoke.
However, as soon as these words were uttered, many in the audience immediately felt that this was not recruitment for sons-in-law at all.
It was completely about finding stud pigs, finding people to breed!
One must know that matters between men and women greatly deplete one's Yang essence and spirit.
This was even more true for Cultivators.
These people, having been eliminated by the Azure Cloud Sect, already had limited achievements.
If they were to engage in daily cultivation and frequent sexual activity, their Cultivation path would likely be short-lived, with little chance of significant achievement.
Lu Changsheng's mouth also twitched slightly upon hearing this.
He felt that fifty children in twenty years was indeed a bit much.
Even if one child was born per year, it wouldn't amount to fifty in twenty years.
It seemed that the Lu Family's son-in-law recruitment was not one-on-one; each live-in son-in-law could be matched with three or four wives.
However.
This sounded like it wasn't entirely unacceptable?
Lu Changsheng thought about it carefully and even found it quite good, very suitable for him.
Not only would he have a place to Cultivate, but he would also get wives and help raising children.
It perfectly solved the difficult initial stage of his System.
Moreover, hearing such demanding requirements made Lu Changsheng feel much more at ease.
If it weren't demanding, how could he and his group of eliminated individuals have a chance to enter a Cultivation Family?
Hong Yi, who was beside him, saw a hint of interest on Lu Changsheng's face and spoke.
"Lu Changsheng, I have heard of this Qingzhu Mountain Lu Family. It is a legitimate Cultivation Family, with a Foundation Establishment Old Ancestor presiding over it."
"It is indeed as he said; a few years ago, they had a major battle with the Red Leaf Valley Chen Family over a Spirit Stone mine, which resulted in significant losses among the Family's young and strong members."
"If you have no other path, it is not a bad choice."
Hong Yi said this.
Before, he had been arrogant about his status and was not very enthusiastic towards Lu Changsheng, Han Lin, or Zhao Qingqing.
He even looked down on them.
But the fact that Han Lin and Zhao Qingqing, whom he had previously looked down upon, had both entered the Azure Cloud Sect, while he was eliminated, had greatly diminished his arrogance and made him start to face reality.
He understood that once one embarked on the immortal path, the gap between kings, marquises, generals, and prime ministers, or even peddlers, was not that great.
If Lu Changsheng joined a Cultivation Family, even if his future achievements were limited, it would still mean one more friend and one more path.
"Thank you for the reminder, Hong Xiong."
Hearing this, Lu Changsheng's remaining worries dissipated.
He felt that becoming a live-in son-in-law for the Lu Family was a very good choice for him at the moment.
With the System, once he passed the initial stage, wouldn't he be free to soar as high as the sky!?
Immediately, Lu Changsheng stepped forward, intending to sign up.
"Lu Xiong, let's go together."
At this moment, Li Feiyu, who was nearby, seemed to have made a difficult decision and spoke.
"Li Xiong, you also want to join the Lu Family?"
Hong Yi was somewhat surprised to see Li Feiyu also choose to join the Lu Family.
He could understand Lu Changsheng, who came from a farming household.
But Li Feiyu's Crimson Whale Gang was also a large Gang, and as the Young Gang Leader, his conditions were quite good. It was surprising that he would be willing to become a live-in son-in-law for breeding purposes.
"Life is but a hundred-year dream; since I have encountered an immortal edge, I cannot miss it."
Li Feiyu said in a deep voice.
He knew his own situation; although the Crimson Whale Gang was good, it was not solely his father's decision.
Nor could it provide him with much financial support for his Cultivation.
If he were to return, he might end up taking over his father's position as Gang Leader and living the life of a Mortal.
But knowing he had a Spiritual Root and could Cultivate, he was unwilling to go back.
He had once seen his father grovel before a Cultivator.
He knew that no matter how high one's worldly status or martial arts prowess, in front of a Cultivator, they were nothing but ants.
Therefore, no matter how difficult, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he had to strive for it!
At least he wouldn't regret it in the future!
"Then I wish Li Xiong and Lu Xiong a prosperous immortal journey. If anything happens in the future, you can also write to the Ruyi Marquis Manor."
Hong Yi also understood the reasoning and did not try to persuade them further, cupping his hands in salute.
Born into a noble Family, he would still have certain financial resources upon returning home and could continue his Cultivation, so he did not need to become a live-in son-in-law.
Immediately after.
Lu Changsheng and Li Feiyu came before the man in green robes, expressing their willingness to join the Lu Family.
Upon hearing that Lu Changsheng only had a Nine-Rank Spiritual Root, the man in green robes showed some hesitation.
This was because the better the Spiritual Root, the higher the probability that future children would have Spiritual Roots, and the higher their grade would be.
However, seeing Lu Changsheng and Li Feiyu together, and Li Feiyu possessing a 7th Grade Spiritual Root, he still nodded.
"Have you thought this through? Once you arrive at Green Bamboo Mountain, there will be no turning back; you will need to sign a contract."
"If you fail to meet the conditions within twenty years, you will not only have to compensate three times the resources but also serve my Lu Family for ten years."
The man in green robes said seriously.
"We have decided."
Lu Changsheng and Li Feiyu exchanged glances and nodded.
In about half an hour, all twenty sons-in-law were recruited.
They were all young men with no significant background and ordinary origins.
Not only did those from good backgrounds not lower themselves, but the man in green robes also did not want anyone with a significant background.
"My name is Lu Yuanding, and I am the Head of the Lu Family. In the future, you may call me Head of the Family."
"Now, follow me back to Green Bamboo Mountain."
Lu Yuanding said to Lu Changsheng and the others.
He then took out a cloth bag with gold embroidery and opened its mouth.
White lights flew out from it, transforming into tall, sturdy horses with golden manes and powerful limbs.
"Riding horses?"
Many people were surprised to see these horses.
Previously, the Azure Cloud Sect's deacon, with a flick of his sleeve, had caused auspicious clouds to appear under the feet of the chosen ones, who then flew away into the sky.
This group of people, following Lu Yuanding, could only ride horses?
Lu Changsheng also felt that riding horses, when one was already Cultivating, was a bit low-tech.
"These are not ordinary horses; they are Spiritual Steeds raised by my Lu Family. They can travel a thousand li a day, and even if you don't know how to ride, it won't be an issue."
Seeing everyone's disappointment, Lu Yuanding explained.
He also had no choice.
The Lu Family was just a small Family.
Although they had flying boat Magical Artifacts, they would not easily use them normally.
As for carrying people in flight, it was even less realistic.
His Qi Refining stage eight cultivation alone could not support long-distance flight, let alone carrying others.
With so many people, riding horses was the most convenient and fastest way.
Just like that, Lu Changsheng and the others mounted the Spiritual Steeds and left with Lu Yuanding.
At the foot of Azure Cloud Sect mountain, five other Lu Family Cultivators were waiting to accompany them, to avoid any unexpected incidents along the way.
