I Have No Qualifications, The System Asked Me To Marry A Wife To Practice

Xiao Hongling noticed that Chu Shen had been contacting her frequently lately.

"Do you really have such a strong interest in that matter?" she couldn't help but complain one day.

It is normal for ordinary cultivators to have a calm and desireless mind. Even if they have worldly desires, they would fill themselves through the methods of refining essence and transforming qi, and not waste their time for temporary pleasure.

Chu Shen glanced at her and said, "Haven't you noticed the benefits?"

Xiao Hongling frowned, "I'm not sure what cultivation method you are practicing, but it does have some benefits for me. However, if we continue like this, everyone will probably know about our affair."

Chu Shen was somewhat surprised, "Are you more concerned about this than your cultivation? Isn't that unbecoming of a cultivator?"

Xiao Hongling froze for a moment. You make a good point, but I want to kill you!

To be fair, she had made some progress, but the damage to her meridians had limited her improvement. Instead of sparring with Chu Shen, it would be better for her to consume more spiritual pills and use traditional cultivation methods. Besides, she also had her reputation to consider. Being tossed around by Chu Shen like this was quite humiliating.

"Alright, being a good person means being happy. When you're in a good mood, things will go more smoothly. Haven't you noticed any changes in me?" Chu Shen boasted a little and released a hint of aura.

Xiao Hongling had been restless these past few days, and with him using concealment techniques, she hadn't noticed that he had already reached the ninth level of Qi Refining - the Great Perfection stage.

At this moment, she sensed his aura and was shocked. "You... are at the ninth level of Qi Refining?"

Feeling the pressure and the surging waves of spiritual energy, even if she hadn't eaten pork, she had seen pigs run, right?

Realizing Chu Shen's astonishing progress, her gaze towards him became more envious, and her attitude softened a bit. "Is it really that effective?"

She knew that there was a positive correlation between state of mind and cultivation level, but she had never seen anything so exaggerated.

Especially compared to other cultivators who claim to have a peaceful state of mind, his so-called state of mind is actually joyful.

Chu Shen once again concealed his aura and sighed, saying, "I originally wanted to confide in you, but you've forced me to reveal my hand. It seems that we are destined to maintain this kind of relationship."

Xiao Hongling felt a bit embarrassed.

Although Chu Shen has already demonstrated his abilities in alchemy, his economic strength, the prestige of a big spender, and his connections in dealing with small-time individuals,

But cultivators like sword cultivators, who advocate for martial strength, often have a bad habit - as long as someone is not as powerful as themselves, they are considered weaklings.

Chu Shen used to be the same as her, at the seventh level of Qi Refining. In addition to his talent in alchemy and other techniques, his combat power is often regarded as one level lower. In her eyes, he is only at the sixth level of Qi Refining.

So, being at a lower cultivation level means Chu Shen is a weakling.

Even though Chu Shen has killed or crippled many Qi Refining cultivators at the seventh or eighth level in various sword cultivation academies, this concept has not changed. It's roughly equivalent to saying, "I have so many explosive talismans, so I can do it too."

Especially because she is ultimately a woman, the process and current situation of Chu Shen winning her over have always left her with some hidden dissatisfaction. These dissatisfactions have also become a kind of prejudice.

She was already a person with obsessions, and such people tend to be stubborn and even more resistant to changing their views once they have prejudices.

It wasn't until Chu Shen, with an indisputable cultivation level, surpassed and suppressed her that she changed her attitude under the mentality of seeking strength.

However, Chu Shen doesn't like her utilitarian mindset. Although his words just now were said in a teasing manner, they also represent his true thoughts after seeing through Xiao Hongling's character.

His compassion and care for Xiao Hongling are based on the premise that she has become his person. He truly intends to treat her as family and take care of her, but she herself does not have this self-awareness. Excessive compassion and care are just self-delusion.

Since that's the case, they can only maintain a relationship above friends with benefits, a distant state of love.

It must be said that Xiao Hongling's life has come to such a difficult point today for a reason. She can't even understand Chu Shen's change in attitude.

"Alright, alright, I understand. If you want it, come and get it."

She just thought that if Chu Shen's cultivation method was really so effective, she might as well give it a try. After all, it wouldn't hurt to try a few times.

Chu Shen was still interested in her physical body and could also brush the system rewards. He didn't mind putting in a little more effort. But as for emotions, that extravagant thing had faded a lot.

Focus on the kidneys, not the heart.

The rewards arrived as scheduled, and the gold attribute spiritual root fully awakened, shining in harmony with the water attribute spiritual root in her visualization.

Xiao Hongling also discovered the rewards given by the system and exclaimed in surprise, "My spiritual root... has become eighth-grade!"

As for the effect of the "Spiritual Rhyme Heavenly Platform," she had not yet discovered it.

Chu Shen, who had hidden his skills and fame, asked, "Hmm? The spiritual root has become eighth-grade? What does that mean?"

Xiao Hongling was in a good mood and replied, "Literally, I don't know why, but my spiritual root has evolved from the original ninth-grade to eighth-grade."

Perhaps you're right. The change in state of mind is wonderful and diverse. Even cultivators need to be a little happy.

Or maybe your cultivation method does have some mysterious aspects to it, incorporating some unexpected benefits.

Chu Shen nodded and said, "Perhaps. Anyway, this is a good thing. Congratulations."

Xiao Hongling didn't catch his perfunctory tone and was just delighted with the evolution of her spiritual root. "Alright, if there's nothing else, you can go first. The evolution of my spiritual root has also weakened the impact of my damaged meridians on cultivation. I need to make good use of my time to cultivate and prepare for the upcoming assessment."

Chu Shen rolled his eyes and said, "Are you in such a hurry?"

Xiao Hongling hadn't realized that her attitude was no different from being heartless: "Of course I'm in a hurry. If I fail this assessment, I'll have to leave Langxuan Camp!"

Chu Shen simply took out a bag of spiritual energy pills and said, "I know you're in a hurry, but don't be in a rush. Help me with something first."

Although Xiao Hongling lacked emotional intelligence and was too focused on immediate gains, her character was actually not bad. When she saw the spiritual energy pills, she frowned and said, "Just tell me what you want me to do."

Chu Shen said, "While you help me with this task, these spiritual energy pills might come in handy. If they're not needed, you can keep them for future use."

Hearing him say this, Xiao Hongling's frown eased: "Then tell me."

Chu Shen said, "Help me find some female cultivators with different attributes of spiritual roots who are willing to cultivate with me."

Xiao Hongling became furious, "What do you take me for?"

Chu Shen also knew that she misunderstood: "I told you not to be in a rush. You really need to change your temper. Essentially, this is a blind date. I'm asking for your help in matchmaking me with suitable candidates. If it works out and the other person is willing, I can bring her back home and give her a status."

Of course, if the other person is not willing to enter my family, but is willing to be a companion in cultivation, I don't mind either."

Xiao Hongling was so angry that her head hurt. She wanted to say something, but Chu Shen had already said it. The premise was that it was voluntary, leaving her unable to express her thoughts.

She knew that she was unhappy that Chu Shen had her but still wanted more people. However... she seemed to have no grounds to stop Chu Shen from doing this.

After all, Chu Shen had asked her before if she was willing to enter the Chu family, and she had rejected it herself.

She didn't even have the title of Chu Shen's concubine, just a companion in cultivation. Why should she have the right to interfere with the legitimate act of taking concubines?

At this moment, she suddenly realized that she seemed to have dug a hole for herself...
