2: Chapter 2 System Rewards
"Does this person have a Spiritual Root? Why is it taking so long?"
Seeing the Spiritual Testing Platform unresponsive for a long time, the crowd began to whisper among themselves.
Just then, the Spiritual Testing Platform finally emitted a faint glow.
"It lit up?" The Grand Elder stroked his greying beard and smiled faintly.
However, the next moment, his expression froze, as five different colors lit up in sequence.
"Five-element pseudo-Spiritual Root?"
"Hahaha."
Jeers erupted all around.
The Grand Elder was quite disappointed; in the past, such Aptitude would not have been allowed into the Qin Family at all.
Even if they did enter, they would be the type to waste Cultivation resources, reaching only the fifth or sixth level of Qi Refining in their entire life.
He turned his gaze to the stout old man beside him and asked slowly, "Second Brother, what do you think?"
"Brother, our Qin Family is a Foundation Establishment Family, what do we need such Trash for? However, you decide all Family matters, so do as you see fit!"
With that, he looked extremely cold and displeased.
The Grand Elder frowned slightly. Considering that many clansmen had fallen in the last great battle, he finally said slowly, "Forget it, passed."
"Congratulations, from now on you are a member of the Qin Family."
The Qin Family Disciple in charge of registration smiled warmly, staring straight at Chen Fan, before scribbling down his name and origin in the register.
Chen Fan noticed the other party's strange expression, and his heart skipped a beat.
After registration, the fifteen Matrilocal sons-in-law walked into the residence one by one, cleaned up, and headed straight to the banquet hall.
As for those who did not pass, they were each given five taels of gold and sent down the mountain.
Along the way, they were constantly pointed at by the Qin Family members; it was clear that becoming a Matrilocal son-in-law was not something glorious.
By now, the banquet hall was already decorated with lanterns and streamers, filled with guests.
The Qin Family was not stingy with the wedding proceedings.
More than thirty beautiful and tall women of the Qin Family had been waiting for a long time.
Dressed up meticulously, each one was fragrant and brightly adorned, like lotus flowers rising from the water, waiting expectantly.
Some were petite and cute, some gentle and virtuous, some cold as ice, and some charming and moving.
Looking at the newly recruited Matrilocal sons-in-law, a hint of shyness appeared on their faces.
Chen Fan had a handsome face and fair skin, exuding a steady and mature, unique temperament that naturally attracted many hot gazes.
The Grand Elder in charge of recruiting the sons-in-law was Great Elder Qin Yuanshan. He swept his gaze over the crowd and finally landed on a burly man.
"Sun Xuan, this is your wife, Qin Shuangshuang. She has a four-element Spiritual Root and is not a Mortal. Do not let the Qin Family down in the future."
"Thank you, Grand Elder." Sun Xuan was overjoyed upon hearing this; one had to know that if both parents had Spiritual Roots, their offspring were highly likely to have Spiritual Roots.
Seeing Great Elder Qin Yuanshan personally select a Qin Family member with a Spiritual Root for him, the others were quite envious.
Chen Fan noticed that these Qin Family women were all fair-skinned, beautiful, delicate, and sensible, far better than the women in the real world.
Moreover, having been trained in etiquette, they were completely obedient to their husbands and would never speak harshly to them.
Several beautiful women had originally taken a liking to Chen Fan, but upon hearing that his Spiritual Root was the worst, they frowned and turned their gazes to other Matrilocal sons-in-law.
Although they were Mortals of the Qin Family without Spiritual Roots, they knew that Spiritual Roots made a difference, and their future Cultivation and treatment would be worlds apart. They did not want to jump into a pit of fire.
Before long, Chen Fan was the only Matrilocal son-in-law left without a match, appearing quite awkward in the large hall.
Great Elder Qin Yuanshan saw this, frowned slightly, and gave a light cough towards the remaining women.
But even so, no one stepped forward to choose.
Since it concerned their lifelong happiness, they did not want to be so careless. If this batch of Matrilocal sons-in-law wouldn't do, there would always be the next batch.
Chen Fan saw through these women's thoughts at a glance and smiled awkwardly, but he didn't mind. Having lived two lifetimes and wasted many years, his state of mind was already deep.
Just as he was thinking this, an eighteen-year-old Mortal woman moved with lotus-like steps and walked up slowly.
She bowed slightly and said, "My name is Qin Fang, and I am willing to marry you."
By the end, her voice was as quiet as a mosquito, her face full of shyness.
In fact, since the first time she saw him, she had been attracted to his handsome appearance like a lovesick girl. Coupled with her very average Family background, she was not that picky.
However, this scene was mocked by the other women of the Family, with sighs and looks full of contempt.
"I am Chen Fan, and I am willing to become a couple with you." Chen Fan bowed, feeling deeply emotional.
Next, firecrackers sounded, gongs and drums blared, and the wedding officially began.
After some liveliness, the Matrilocal sons-in-law carried their beauties with smiles and excitement towards their assigned residences.
In fact, this expression was specifically for the Qin Family members to see; if they put on a cold face, they would surely offend people.
The residence was simple yet exquisite, with a bedroom, living room, and study all fully equipped.
The furniture in the living room was elaborately crafted and extremely beautiful, and the tea sets were antique in style.
In the study, the introductory Cultivation Technique, low-grade Medicinal Pill, common Spell, and Spirit Stone provided by the Qin Family had already been laid out.
Opening the books and taking a brief look, it felt like reading a heavenly book; he couldn't understand it at all.
However, he was not in a hurry at the moment; after all, this was his first day at the Qin Family, and there were more important things to do.
In the bedroom, the beauty sat quietly on the bed, her well-fitted outer garment making her graceful figure even more alluring.
Chen Fan was a little excited; he slowly lifted the red veil and carefully examined the person before him.
The beauty had fair and smooth skin, a high nose, a curvaceous figure, and charming eyes, exuding the unique aura of a young girl.
"Husband." Qin Fang's face turned red, her eyes dodging, feeling a bit embarrassed by his gaze.
"From now on, we are husband and wife. The night is already deep..."
"Mm, I will listen to everything you say, husband, but please be gentle."
In the blink of an eye, clothes slipped off, and the candles flickered.
After the storm, Qin Fang, having experienced intimacy for the first time, could not bear it and fell asleep unconsciously.
At this moment, Chen Fan was exceptionally excited and had no sleepiness at all.
Just as he was preparing to study the System, a mechanical voice sounded in his mind.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully taking a wife. Detected that the host's Aptitude is low. The novice gift pack is being distributed, please check it, host.]
[Reward: one spirit-gathering pill; reward: low-grade introductory Cultivation Technique "Xuantian Technique" and "Tyrant Body Technique"; reward: three books "Introduction to Plants", "Plant Identification", and "Pill Formula"; reward: Tier 1 Medicinal Pill refining experience (5% experience points)]
Just in this moment of surprise and curiosity, the detailed information of these Cultivation Techniques and books appeared in his mind.
"Xuantian Technique" focuses on Mana and Divine Soul Cultivation; "Tyrant Body Technique" focuses on Physical Body tempering; "Introduction to Plants" and "Plant Identification" are about the identification of various Spiritual Plants and the principles of their mutual generation and restriction; "Pill Formula" is the refining method for over a dozen low-level Medicinal Pills.
"So simple?"
Chen Fan exclaimed, his face full of disbelief.
Originally knowing nothing about Cultivation, now he had mastered it, knowing how to guide Qi into the body, how to refine Mana, and how to refine low-grade Medicinal Pills.
Spiritual Plant identification, mutual generation and restriction, and Medicinal Pill theory were engraved in his mind like a mark.
At this moment, he secretly made a resolution that when he truly stepped onto the Dao path, he would definitely kill that Devil Head.
