Jin Hong suddenly pulled him aside.

“Brother Qin, think thrice.”

Qin Changqing looked at him in confusion: “What’s wrong?”

“You want to become a Taoist couple with Miss Shu Tian?”

“If nothing unexpected happens, then of course I do.”

A girl with a Fortune of 777, Qin Changqing had never seen one before, plus she is beautiful too. Since she’s willing, why not take her back immediately?

Jin Hong said solemnly: “Liu Town is not ordinary, especially the Zhou Family, which is quite famous in Yinxu Prefecture. They have a disciple in the inner sect of the Lingxiao Sect, which is why the Shu Family is doing their best to flatter them.”

“Leaving that person aside, the Shu Family’s master is at Tier 9 Qi-cultivating stage, not someone we can deal with. If Brother Qin marries Miss Shu Tian, I’m afraid the Zhou Family will not let it go.”

Qin Changqing nodded: “So what?”

Jin Hong was stunned: “What?”

Qin Changqing said: “I mean, he’s just an inner sect disciple, should I yield to him?”

Jin Hong: “…”

Big brother, he’s an inner sect disciple! Normally, they at least have Foundation Establishment cultivation. Aren’t you going to yield to him?

In Jin Hong’s view, since Qin Changqing was relegated to the secular world, Mo Jiuzhou could often help him discreetly, but this type of open matter, involving a disciple of the sect, would not be so easy to handle.

At most, with Mo Jiuzhou around, the inner sect disciple wouldn’t dare to be too presumptuous.

But to help Qin Changqing against the Zhou Family, if this were to be spread around, it would first of all be inappropriate, and secondly, the reputation might not be good.

After all, Liu Town is Lingxiao Sect’s territory.

Without rules, there is no circle.

However, Qin Changqing felt that the old man had never cared about rules.

Although he said that, he didn’t plan to ask the old man to take action.

Night falls.

The bustling scenes on the market gradually disappeared along with the fading daylight, as many people began to pack up and prepare to rest.

Qin Changqing walked around without finding anything he liked, but received a bunch of ‘tokens’ instead.

Some were jade pendants, some were fans, and some were handkerchiefs, all personal belongings, which, according to the customs of the market, meant that if a female cultivator was willing to give these, it signified that he could visit her tent tonight to discuss cultivation.

At first, Qin Changqing was quite astonished and surprised, and hesitant about this bold expression of love. But after witnessing a man and woman entering a tent together, he understood that cultivators don’t bother with such pretense.

Those who came here had a clear goal and would be together if things went well. The major principle of courtesy in this world provided a safeguard for this fast-paced marriage method. Qin Changqing had seen a lot of this before, so he quickly adapted.

Even Jin Hong found a like-minded Taoist couple this time. After giving Qin Changqing a meaningful look, he entered a tent.

A young woman ran in front of Qin Changqing, shyly handed him a jade pendant, and quickly ran back into a tent.

“This…”

Qin Changqing looked around.

He found that a large group of male cultivators around him were all staring at him.

Should I share some with you guys?

Qin Changqing was somewhat troubled, so he simply dumped all the items into his storage bag and walked in one direction.

At a certain part of the market.

Shu Tian sat alone in the tent, her hands on her knees, looking a bit nervous.

To be honest, she didn’t know how she would make it before coming here herself.

It was just that she had heard from others about the situation here, and came with the attitude of ‘a dead horse as a living horse doctor.’

After all, she didn’t want to marry that old man.

Although his cultivation had reached the Tier 9 Qi-cultivating stage, it was the limit for him in his life. What’s the point of her marrying him?

Is it because he would never break through the Qi Refining stage?

Is it because he doesn’t take baths?

Is it because he is old?

Anyways, she had no attachment to the Shu Family.

“I wonder if Young Master Qin will come tonight or not…”

Shu Tian thought silently, both expectant and apprehensive.And so, as the night deepened, suddenly footsteps approached.

Shu Tian tightened her body and saw the tent being lifted as Qin Changqing bent over and walked in.

With a huff, the candle was extinguished.

[Ding~ You married a wife, family member +1, family fortune +777, rewarded with a Youth Retaining Pill*1, and cultivation increased by six years.]

The next day, Qin Changqing found some free time to receive the cultivation reward and successfully broke through to the Tier 9 Qi-cultivating stage.

[Host: Qin Changqing]

[Spiritual Root: Tier 9 Mid-level]

[Cultivation: Tier 9 Qi-cultivating]

[Sub-profession: Elixir Refining (Tier 1 Mediumitem)]

[Family Members: 11]

[Family Fortune: 2533]

[Offspring: 6]

The algorithm for determining family members is not based on the wedding ceremony, but on physical close contact.

So after the one-night activities behind the rosy curtain, Shu Tian had already become a part of the Qin family.

“The fortune has broken through 2000, but there’s no reward triggered, it seems the next stage is still far away.”

Qin Changqing was looking forward to the fortune reward because it could help improve the cultivation qualifications of the whole family members.

Unfortunately, a breakthrough of 2000 didn’t trigger it, so it seems that at least 5000 or even 10,000 would be needed to reach the next stage.

Qin Changqing shook his head secretly, focusing on his cultivation, looking forward to the day of Foundation Establishment.

In the following period, Qin Changqing took Shu Tian and started strolling around the market.

They didn’t buy anything else, just some herbs for alchemy.

Life for loose cultivators was even more difficult than he had imagined. Most of them had low aptitude, and although they were exposed to cultivation by chance, they didn’t have enough resources to support them, so they had to rely on themselves. Compared to them, Qin Changqing was really lucky to have met Mo Jiuzhou and been taken to the Lingxiao Sect.

“In this world, there really aren’t that many ordinary people who can achieve success in cultivation.”

Qin Changqing sighed in his heart.

Then, along the way, he collected tokens of affection.

Even though Shu Tian was with him, he still received tokens from female cultivators. Over the past few days, those older women who realized they had no chance stopped taking the initiative, and those who remained were quite young and beautiful.

These women were usually from cultivation families.

After all, female cultivators usually started looking for a Taoist couple when they were older and tired of cultivation. Those who came at a young age were given orders by the family to establish a relationship with someone.

As Qin Changqing’s identity as a disciple of the Lingxiao Sect became known, even though his specific cultivation level was unknown, it was assumed that it wouldn’t be too bad.

That alone was a strong point.

However, as Jin Hong had said, not many good ones were left for him to pick from.

Female cultivators with good spiritual roots had already entered sects.

If a female cultivator had both good spiritual roots and beauty, why would she choose you?

But being good-looking did give him an advantage. In the last three days before the end of the Loose Cultivator Fair, Qin Changqing went into another female cultivator’s tent.

Her name was Wang Xiaoxiao, also a family disciple, with a Tier 9 mid-level spiritual root and a cute, round face.

She didn’t have a tragic background or was pressured by her family like Shu Tian. She simply felt her cultivation was hopeless and came to find a Taoist couple, and then she found Qin Changqing.

In the tent, Wang Xiaoxiao’s blushing cheeks looked extremely delicate. With a mosquito-like voice, she said, “This is the first time for me, please be gentle, husband.”

The Loose Cultivator Fair ended while some people were still unwilling to leave.

Qin Changqing was quite satisfied, as he had bought many herbs and found two suitable Taoist couples this time.

It’s just that the murderous gazes from the surrounding male cultivators made his scalp tingle.

“Xiaoxiao, you go back first, and I’ll go to your house to propose later.”

Outside Xianfeng Ridge, Qin Changqing said to Wang Xiaoxiao.

The girl was from the Wang family of Lingshi Town, more than two hundred miles away from Heiyu Town. Going back and forth to propose would be very troublesome, but Qin Changqing decided to make it a formal affair.

After all, the number of wives he would marry was a bit too many. It was nonsense to say that he could distribute his love evenly, so he could only try to be as good to each of them as possible.

In his heart, there was no distinction between main wife and concubine. They were either all wives or all concubines, but in the end, they were all his wives.
