Purple Iris is a flower unique to Maiqiu Mountain. Although this flower is not a spiritual plant, its nectar is very popular with a first-order spiritual bee called the Purple Jade Bee. In addition, the perfume made from purple iris petals has a fragrant fragrance and is very popular both in the mortal world and among female cultivators.
In addition, this flower is very easy to survive and requires little management, so the Zhu family planted a large number of purple iris flowers in Maiqiu Mountain.
In early autumn every year, when the purple kites are in full bloom, the entire mountain is covered with a sea of purple flowers, and their unique fragrance overflows, often attracting locals to stop or stroll among the flowers. This has become a major scenery in Maiqiu Mountain.
In the name of admiring the sea of purple flowers, Gu Chunlan pulled her lover out of the manor to a remote mountain col. Here are also purple kites all over the mountains and plains. The two played in the sea of flowers, had fun in it, and finally did romantic things together.
Afterwards, like many girls in love, Gu Chunlan asked the question again as the two of them were making love to each other:
"Brother Feng, when will you marry me?"
Hearing this question, the lover who was in his free time frowned secretly and felt very unhappy.
The full name of Gu Chunlan's lover is Zhu Liangfeng, and he is a steward of the Zhu family in Yunwu Valley. As a monk with three spiritual roots and a direct descendant of the clan leader, he had reached the seventh level of Qi training in his early thirties. This qualification is very outstanding in the family, and there is no small hope that the foundation will be successful. As it should be, he is also highly regarded in the family.
As a family with a population of 70,000 to 80,000, the Zhu family has about 2,000 children born every year. Accordingly, the Zhu family has about two immortal seedlings that manifest spiritual roots every year.
In the world of cultivating immortals, approximately one person with three spiritual roots can appear in every twenty seedlings that cultivate immortality, and only one person with two spiritual roots can appear in every one thousand seedlings. For a small family like the Zhu family, the only twin spiritual roots that have appeared in the past few hundred years is their patriarch, who is less than two hundred years old and has completed his foundation building. For a foundation-building monk with a lifespan of three hundred years, this age is in the prime of life. This patriarch, who is said to be only half a step away from the Zi Mansion, is the Zhu family's greatest reliance and hope for revitalization.
Apart from the clan leader, Zhu Liangfeng is the most qualified person in the entire Zhu family. But it was a pity that he fell short in the entrance examination of Yunxiao Sect and failed to become a disciple of the sect. His other clan brother, Zhu Liangmu, who also has three spiritual roots, is a bit older than him, but because he entered the sect, he has now completed his qi training. Not long ago, he changed from the sect to a Foundation Establishment Pill, he is about to become a Foundation Establishment monk.
The Foundation Establishment Pill is an important strategic resource and is in the hands of the sect and the big families above the Zi Mansion. As an ordinary foundation-building family, the Zhu family often requires the family to accumulate decades of accumulation in order to obtain a foundation-building pill - it does not refer to wealth, but more importantly, connections and connections, as well as contributions to the sect.
Although Zhu Liangfeng is still young and has entered the late stage of Qi training, he is not sure whether he can obtain the Foundation Building Pill through his family.
At this time, Gu Chunlan broke into his life like a spring breeze. This girl is pretty and charming, and she is completely obedient to him, which makes his life after cultivation full of color. He is also very obsessed with this girl, but it's a pity...
She cannot bring the Foundation Building Pill. As a casual cultivator, I even need his support.
Zhu Liangfeng's dream has always been to marry a wealthy family, such as the Zhao family in Changshan County, which would greatly increase the hope of obtaining the Foundation Building Pill. Considering his background, qualifications and cultivation, the conditions are still very good. It's a pity that the Zhao family has little interest in this.
As for asking Gu Chunlan to be his concubine, regardless of whether she would agree or not, even if she agreed, the family would probably object.
All major families are actually very enthusiastic about female casual cultivators with foreign surnames like Gu Chunlan. The reason is simple. The spiritual root manifestation rate of female cultivators’ first-born babies is as high as 30%, which no family can ignore.
Those female cultivators with good qualifications and promising futures rarely interrupt their cultivation in order to have offspring, or even abandon their path. Only a female cultivator like Gu Chunlan, who has neither resources nor average talent, but a fourth- and fifth-line spiritual root, would accept the family's invitation to get married and have children in exchange for her future cultivation resources. For them, this move can not only greatly improve their status, but also give them a glimmer of hope on the road to hope.
By the way, their marriage partners are often mortal children of the family or monks with no hope of success. The principle is the same. Promising male monks are also unwilling to interrupt their cultivation.
Therefore, female casual cultivators are a scarce resource in this world. Resources should serve as resources. Regarding Gu Chunlan, the Zhu family has been trying to get her to marry a mortal child of the family, instead of being Zhu Liangfeng's concubine, let alone his wife.
Gu Chunlan naturally knew these truths. She chose Zhu Liangfeng because she wanted to find another way. While obtaining Zhu family resources through Zhu Liangfeng, he does not interrupt his own cultivation.
…
Seeing that her lover didn't say a word for a long time, Gu Chunlan felt unhappy, and the slender jade hand that drew circles turned into a five-clawed golden dragon and grabbed him hard.
"Ouch, it hurts!" Zhu Liangfeng came back to his senses, a little annoyed. He looked at the shy and timid look of the woman under him, and felt soft in his heart.
He hesitated and said:
"You also know that in the clan, you still have to listen to the clan leader on this matter."
"Patriarch, patriarch," the woman was even more annoyed: "Don't I just want you to cling to the Zhao family? They just ignored me!"
Zhu Liangfeng had never concealed this matter, so Gu Chunlan also knew it. This is also where she loves and hates Zhu Liangfeng. She loves him for telling her everything, but hates him for telling her all these terrible things.
Little did she know that Zhu Liangfeng told her this in the hope that she would give up on her own initiative. Unfortunately, she was so caught up in it that she couldn't see it.
"Is the clan still looking for other families for you? Looking at Chuoyang, apart from the Zhao family, who else can provide foundation-building pills?"
"Could it be that you have also contacted families from other counties?" Gu Chunlan was a little worried.
"It's nothing." Zhu Liangfeng quickly consoled him: "I don't even know the people from other counties, but the Zhao family..."
He remembered something, which just happened to change the topic.
"Did you know? The Zhao family came to the manor yesterday."
"Well, I also met Senior Sister Jin's child."
"That little thief," Zhu Liangfeng gritted his teeth: "The clan lost a lot of spiritual stones this time, all because of him!"
"What's going on?" Gu Chunlan's curiosity was suddenly aroused.
Zhu Liangfeng briefly recounted what happened yesterday when Yang Zhen and others came to the manor, and finally said bitterly:
"I never noticed this little thief before. He is actually so cunning. He talks nonsense at such a young age. With Jin Qingchen's net worth, how can he get hundreds of spiritual stones!"
"What's even more hateful is that he doesn't want the spiritual veins even if my Zhu family gives him the spiritual stone. He would rather give it to the sect than to my Zhu family!"
As the steward here and the family's reserve talent, Zhu Liangfeng can basically inquire about all kinds of things in the clan if he is willing.
"You said that little thief, you used to be very sweet-tongued, but now..."
He stopped suddenly because the woman frowned tightly.
"What's wrong?"
"That little stone, I feel a little weird, as if it's a different person..."
The woman said hesitantly.
