Chapter 151 Choice

Nature is the best painter.

After being taken around the Valley of Immortality by Yagyu Sheng, Li Qing only had this thought in his heart.

The scenery and environment here are really beautiful, like a real wonderland.

Because it was obscured by the formation, I could not see the real scenery in the valley before. Now that I am in it, I just feel that it is too dreamy.

The Changsheng Valley is very large, and there is a lake in it. There are willows and trees lining the lakeside, and there are many buildings of the Liu family.

The breeze blew, and a thin mist rippled on the lake, vaguely revealing some of the mystery of the island in the center of the lake.

This island is the center of the second-level spiritual energy occupied by the Liu family. It is also the place with the richest spiritual energy. It is fully enough to support the training needs of five foundation-building monks.

It's a pity that it is only open to the upper echelons of the family. Outsiders like Li Qing are not even qualified to visit the island.

"After listening to your wonderful life experiences, Brother Li, I was really envious. I actually had the urge to leave the family and travel around the world." Yagyu said with stern eyes, and his tone sounded genuine. I really want to make a living in the world of mortals.

In response, Li Qing just smiled slightly. When he was visiting this place, Yagyu Sheng asked him about his origin, and Li Qing made up a half-truth to him.

For example, he started practicing martial arts when he was young, and later became famous in martial arts. Unfortunately, he was invaded by horse thieves on the grassland and the Maple Kingdom was defeated and moved south.

When Li Qing was preparing to move south, he accidentally received a inheritance from a monk in the Qi Refining Stage. By chance, he embarked on the path to immortality.

"Well, then I have to advise you, Brother Liu. The spiritual energy in the outside world is very thin, especially outside Xiao Cuiling. The spiritual energy is even more unimaginably thin. It is difficult to even support the early stages of Qi refining!" Li Qing shook his head and sighed.

When the topic of spiritual energy came up, a smile appeared on Yagyu Sheng's lips, and he asked, "What does Brother Li think of us in the Valley of Immortality?"

"The scenery is beautiful and the aura is rich. I even feel like I have entered a fairyland. I wish I could live here for a long time!" Li Qing sighed from the bottom of his heart.

He thought to himself, these children who were born in a cultivating family are good. They have prepared all kinds of immortal cultivating techniques and places with rich spiritual energy.

How is it like him, who has struggled in the secular world for so long, and still killed an emperor, and then obtained the first immortal cultivation technique with difficulty, and it was still incomplete!

Hearing Li Qing give such a high evaluation, Yagyu's smile became even brighter, and he tried his best to say in a friendly tone:

"Brother Li, it's not impossible for you to live here for a long time. Our Liu family has always been kind to others and hospitable."

Boom!

Hearing this, Li Qing's heartbeat became slightly faster.

Can you really live here for a long time? Is the Liu family so generous?

Li Qing, who was used to struggling in the secular world, naturally knew that there was no free lunch in the world, and he became slightly alert in his heart.

"Oh? I wonder what I need to pay?" Li Qing asked tentatively.

Soon, Yagyu showed a persuasive attitude and said:

"There are two ways. One is to get married to a girl from my Liu family, and if you give birth to an heir with spiritual roots, your surname will be changed to Liu."

"In this case, not only can we live in our Liu family for a long time, but the family is also willing to reward some cultivation resources, such as spiritual stones, talismans, and even magical weapons and elixirs, it is possible!"

"In the second case, my Liu family also has some industries, and even has some relationship with the ancestor. However, due to the war in the world of immortality that just ended fifteen years ago, the number of people is sparse now, and some immortal cultivators are needed to help."

"Of course, there will be a certain amount of remuneration for helping."

Li Qing nodded clearly and couldn't help but curse in his heart.

It turned out that he was interested in my body!

The former is to get married, be a ruthless child-making machine, and reproduce as many spiritual root fairy seedlings with Liu family bloodline as possible for the Liu family.

As for the latter, he would accept the ruthless exploitation of his Liu family and work illegally for them!

Seeing Li Qing pondering deeply, Yagyu Sheng persuaded him while the iron was hot:

"Brother Li, with all due respect, you are already twenty-five years old, but your cultivation level is indeed a bit meager."

"You might as well take advantage of the fact that you are young and strong now, and have a few wives and concubines, and use the power of my Liu family to protect future generations. When the time comes, you will have a family full of children. It will be a pleasure in life!"

"If some talented children are born among the descendants, they may have the opportunity to join the Sect. Then you, the father, will also benefit from it!"

Liu Sheng said a lot, but to Li Qing's ears, it was just one sentence: "Old Li, do you want a wife or not?"

It's a pity that Li Qing, who is an immortal and can continue to increase his lifespan, does not really want to get married and have children.

He can't accept the fact that when the time comes, all future generations will grow old, but he is still living happily in the world.

And having children may lead to a lot more troubles after all.

He asked himself that he could not be indifferent to his children, so he could be alone as much as possible. It was better to be alone!

"Alas, what Brother Liu said deeply touched my heart, but is it possible that the Liu family is such a powerful force that there are so many fairies that they can't marry?"

After this, it was Liu Sheng's turn to be embarrassed. He scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Ahem, I am not a cultivator. There are still many children of important elders in my Liu family who do not have spiritual roots."

"But don't worry, brother Li, the women in our Liu family are all beautiful and charming. I guarantee that they are..."

At this time, Li Qing's expression was still smiling, but he was furious in his heart!

Oh, that means marrying a mortal.

It's okay to marry into a family, but you have to marry a mortal!

Of course, Li Qing didn't mean to look down on mortals, he just didn't want to marry into a family.

But it was good, he finally found an excuse to refuse:

"Is that so? Thank you for your kindness, Brother Liu, but I have already promised to become an immortal in this life, and it is difficult for me to promise others. I have never thought about marrying and having children."

After hearing this, Liu Sheng reluctantly persuaded: "Brother Li, listen to me, my Liu family has a precedent. There was once a cultivator from another family who chose to marry into the family, and eventually became a great cultivator in the foundation-building period and moved into the island in the middle of the lake!"

"And over the years, there have been many cultivators who worked as helpers in my Liu family, but they couldn't stand the day and night work and eventually chose to marry the women in my Liu family."

"You might as well listen to me, so you can save more than ten years of detours!"

These three words made Li Qing feel like he was reminiscing about the poisonous chicken soup in his previous life.

As a man who has lived two lives, he naturally would not be tempted by this.

He gave an example of survivor bias to attract other cultivators to choose to marry into his Liu family.

Unfortunately, Li Qing has long been immune to inspirational cases like the grassroots actor, so he naturally won't be moved by it.

As for why Liu Sheng tried so hard to persuade, Li Qing could guess a few reasons.

It's nothing more than recommending an outsider cultivator to marry into the family, and you will get corresponding benefits, such as the family will reward you with spirit stones or elixirs.

After pretending to be in deep thought for a long time, Li Qing said in a firm tone:

"Sorry, Brother Liu, I have made up my mind, and I still prefer to earn the resources for cultivation with my own hands."

Seeing Li Qing so determined, Liu Sheng opened his mouth, looking like he wanted to say something but stopped, and finally sighed, as if he was very sorry.

"Well, okay, okay, since Brother Li has made up his mind, I won't say anything more and annoy people."

"Let's go, I'll take you to see the elders in charge of the family."

In fact, these two methods are just the means that the Liu family has thrown out to attract outside cultivators in recent years.

Regardless of whether Li Qing is the first or the second type, Liu Sheng can get the corresponding reward.

It's just that the reward for marrying into the Liu family is more, and the reward for being a helper in the Liu family is less.

In this way, Li Qing was led by Liu Sheng to the Liu family's steward hall to complete the identity registration and the affairs of choosing a helper.
