Marry a Wife for Longevity, I Will Establish a Family of Immortals

2: Family reputation, luck, breakthrough“Fellow Daoist Su!”

“How is it?”

Zhao Yue pushed open the door and walked into the courtyard.

He clapped Su Yuan on the shoulder, a smile on his lips, and stroked his beard as he inquired, revealing a look of camaraderie.

“Not bad!” Su Yuan looked at the woman before him, appraising her from head to toe, and nodded in satisfaction.

Both her temperament and figure were excellent.

He could not find any flaws.

“Uncle Zhao!”

Zhou Yi saw Zhao Yue and the handsome Su Yuan. As the two walked into the courtyard and conversed, she seemed to already know her fate. Biting her lip, she came forward to greet them.

A blush spread across her cheeks.

She lowered her head, not daring to look up, feeling a bit shy.

“Mm!” Zhao Yue nodded slightly, then turned to look at Su Yuan, a hint of emotion in his eyes:

“Her father and I were good friends!”

“It’s just a pity he passed away early. Yi’er is all alone, and living in the city is troublesome!”

“You know how chaotic and complex the city is, with Gangs everywhere, and many Gangster cultivators lurking around. I’m worried about this girl, so I’ll entrust her to Fellow Daoist Su!”

“If Fellow Daoist Su is interested, let’s get the good deed done tonight!”

“Living alone here is still very dangerous!”

......

That night.

Su Yuan finalized the marriage, brought Zhou Yi back home, and held a simple banquet, inviting some familiar Loose Cultivators.

They celebrated together.

After eating and drinking to their fill, the Loose Cultivators who attended the banquet dispersed, and Su Yuan began the main business, entering the room.

Over the years, he had spent many Spirit Stones for Cultivation. The wedding and marriage were kept simple, with only festive paper-cuts pasted and red candles placed on the table.

Under the candlelight, a beautiful woman in a red robe was revealed, sitting quietly by the bed.

“Yi’er!”

Su Yuan walked forward, lifted the red veil, and looked at the shy woman, calling out softly.

“Hus-husband!”

......

The next morning.

Warm sunlight poured in.

Su Yuan had already dressed and was sitting by the tea table, lost in thought, a look of disbelief on his face.

His gaze was fixed on the virtual screen that had appeared before him.

He had actually gained a System upon Awakening.

He still had not fully processed it.

“This, so this was the correct way to activate it?”

Su Yuan’s eyes showed helplessness. He had Transmigrated for decades, toiled in Cultivation every day, set up stalls to earn Spirit Stones, and endured countless hardships. He never expected to activate the System only after getting married.

After a quick check.

He already knew the System’s purpose.

The Family Prestige System.

As long as he took a wife and had children, as long as he developed the Family, he would receive rewards.

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for marrying a wife and concubine, a small step in developing the Family. You have received Tiger Soul Essence Pill x10, Qi Gathering Pill x10. Current Family Prestige Value is 10.]

[Note: The higher the Prestige Value, the stronger the Family Luck.]

[Note: When the Prestige Value reaches 100, the System Store can be opened to purchase any resources.]

Looking at the virtual panel before him, Su Yuan’s eyes narrowed slightly.

He had actually received Qi Gathering Medicinal Pills and Tiger Soul Essence Pills. These rewards were truly good.

One Qi Gathering Pill alone could sell for ten Spirit Stones.

It was also the best Cultivation Medicinal Pill for Qi Refining Cultivators.

“Family Prestige!”

“Family Luck?”

Su Yuan stroked his chin, lost in thought.

He knew that Luck was a very mysterious thing, like the ethereal Heavenly Dao, invisible and intangible, simply inexpressible.

However, such a thing truly existed. Those with great Luck in the unseen world.

It was like the Imperial Dynasty’s Luck, which could flourish for tens of thousands of years.

It was like exploring an Opportunity, which could turn misfortune into good fortune.

These were all forms of Luck.

“Husband!”

“I’m going to cook!”

Just as Su Yuan was pondering, Zhou Yi quickly walked out of the room, seemingly a bit shy.

“Someone’s cooking now!”

Watching Zhou Yi leave the room, Su Yuan smiled, took out a Qi Gathering Pill, and swallowed it.

Instantly, he felt a warmth spread through his body, and a pure Spiritual Qi surged out, beginning to circulate throughout his entire body, washing through the Meridians, and finally converging in his Dantian.

But unfortunately, this power was not enough; it dissipated directly before forming a Qi vortex.

Seeing this, Su Yuan was not discouraged and swallowed another Medicinal Pill.

He focused his mind and began to Cultivate.

He had been stuck at Qi Refining Stage - 3rd Level for a long time.

If he could not Breakthrough again, he might truly become depressed and start doubting life.

However, fortunately, after swallowing three Qi Gathering Pills, he successfully condensed a Qi vortex, and the Spiritual Qi in his body surged.

Suddenly, his whole body trembled, and a powerful aura emanated, directly Breaking through to Qi Refining Stage - 4th Level.

The process was very smooth.

“It’s done!”

“Qi Refining Stage - 4th Level!”

Feeling the aura within his body, Su Yuan’s face showed some excitement.

How many Loose Cultivators were stuck at Qi Refining Stage - 4th Level? How many Loose Cultivators traveled around exploring, yet could not Breakthrough for a long time? This showed the difficulty of the Qi Refining Middle Stage.

He never expected to Breakthrough so easily.

Breaking through to Qi Refining Stage - 4th Level made his overall strength even greater.

Hunting Yao Beasts outside the city, joining adventure groups, and taking on missions within the city could all meet the requirements.

Of course, having obtained the System, Su Yuan would certainly not take risks. Taking a wife, having children, and developing the Family was the correct way.

“Husband!”

“Dinner is ready!”

As Su Yuan broke through, Zhou Yi entered the room, standing at the doorway and calling out.

“Mm!”

“Later, I’ll buy you a few new sets of clothes!”

Su Yuan walked forward, took Zhou Yi’s hand, and pulled her waist into his embrace, a gentle expression on his face.

“Th-thank you, Husband, for your care!”

Facing Su Yuan’s tenderness, Zhou Yi lowered her head, biting her lip, her eyes misty with emotion.

Ever since her father’s demise, she had lived in fear, afraid of being taken away by others, hiding in her room all day, not daring to go out for walks or shopping.

If not for Zhao Yue’s deterrence.

She might have already fallen into the hands of the city’s ruffians.

Now, to be able to marry a Cultivator and receive gentle care was truly touching.

A wave of warm happiness welled up in her heart.

“Husband!”

“I…” Zhou Yi looked at Su Yuan, her eyes touched, and she slightly parted her lips.

“No need to say more!”

Su Yuan gently patted her shoulder, placed a hand on her red lips, shook his head slightly, and, with his arm around her waist, led her to the table, a deep affection on his face:

“Between us, husband and wife, why the need for thanks?”

“If you want to thank me, then give me a big, chubby boy!”

“Mm!” Zhou Yi’s face flushed red, and she softly assented, her face completely crimson with shyness.
