The Tianhe Continent advocates the cultivation of Taoism, and the higher the Taoism, the more respected it is. The entire Tianhe Continent is composed of three major families, namely the Fengling family, the Muwen family, and the Renyuan family. On the surface, the three great families are fighting each other and ruling together, but in fact they are constantly fighting and secretly developing their own factions. After thousands of years of baptism and development, the Fengling family now has a tendency to dominate.

The supreme rulers of the Tianhe Continent are still the three major families, but each family has set up its own ten factions and branches according to the five elements of yin and yang, and the descendants are composed of many families who come to rely on them, which are widely distributed, have a clear vein, and have formed a three-legged situation.

The lifespan of Taoist cultivators is relatively long, with an average of two or three hundred years old, such as the longest-lived cultivator in the Hezhou Continent today is the ancestor of the Fengling family, who has a lifespan of more than 600 years. This is already the limit of the mortal realm, if you want to continue to live a long life, you can only leave the mortal realm as soon as possible.

Dao cultivation is divided into three stages, namely Qi cultivation, Dharma cultivation, and mystical cultivation, and each stage is divided into nine layers. Only after reaching the third stage of cultivating mysteries, that is, the great consummation of cultivation, can one leave the mortal realm and officially enter the realm of cultivation. For the cultivation realm, a mere hundred years of life is just a flick of a finger, and it will be a crucial step towards the immortal cultivation realm, and it will become the place that everyone in the Tianhe Continent yearns for. It's a pity that since the real person successfully entered the cultivation realm, no real person has appeared in the Tianhe Continent in the past thousand years.

The Chu family is located in Boluo City, it is a family attached to the ten major branches of the Renyuan family, the head of the family, Chu Zhen is now more than two hundred and ten years old, and his cultivation has reached the middle of the second layer of cultivation, which is not high but not low, and the Chu family has him in charge, but it will not be annihilated in the cultivation family and ignored.

Due to his obsession with cultivation, Chu Zhen did not have many heirs, and with the increase in cultivation level, the heirs were even more difficult. The children grew up safely and cultivated slightly, only the eldest son Chu Lei, the second son Chu Ting, the third son Chu You, the fifth son Chu Dian, and the fourth son-in-law Chu Fan, and a number of concubines who married out for marriage. It's a pity that the only son-in-law is not liked by the head of the family, just because his Taoist talent is not high, or in other words, his qualifications are too mediocre, and he can't contribute to the future of the Chu family in the name of the main house.

Mrs. Chu was not valued because she had been married for many years and had no heirs, and finally gave birth to a son, but her qualifications were mediocre, no different from ordinary people. This is the most intolerable thing in a family that regards the cultivation of the Dao as everything, so the position of their mother and son in the Chu family is very embarrassing, and even their subordinates can despise them at will.

Fortunately, Mrs. Chu then gave birth to a daughter that Chu Zhen liked and loved, so that everyone had some scruples, so that she could live safely for more than 20 years under the watchful eye of the concubines and concubines in the mansion. It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, with Chu Shasha's unexpected run away from home, Chu Zhen transferred all his anger and resentment to Old Madam Chu, and never stepped into her Xixia Courtyard again, and the main room completely fell out of favor.

Chu Zhen originally loved his daughter Chu Shasha the most, although she and Chu Fan were brother and sister, but the two were very different in personality and talent. Chu Shasha has been smart and likable since she was a child, the most important thing is that she has a high talent for cultivation, and she is willing to humbly seek advice and cultivate diligently, so Chu Zhen has high hopes for her, and even had the idea of recruiting for her in the future, just to keep her by her side forever, and this concubine will support the future of the Chu family.

It's a pity that after a selection experience in the sect, things are completely out of Chu Zhen's control.

Every fifteen years, the sect will conduct a large-scale selection competition, each family will send outstanding children to participate in the war, from which to select outstanding people, enter the sect to learn and cultivate, and then screen out the best in the future, as the outstanding children of the sect are sent to the family, for the prosperity of the family at the same time, they and the family behind them can also soar. Even if he does not join the family, his future is bright, becoming a foothold of capital and the glory of the family.

Chu Zhen originally thought that with Chu Shasha's qualifications and hard work, even if he would not be able to enter the Renyuan family in the future, it would be more than enough to enter the Yin/Shui/Sect. As long as he enters the sect and becomes a disciple, the Chu family will be able to rise steadily from now on, who knows that Chu Shasha will lose the election.

Chu Zhen ran to her to inquire in disappointment, but he couldn't ask for any news except seeing her lost consciousness. I only thought that the children of the family who were running for the election were very strong, and Chu Shasha would be depressed and depressed when she was hit.

Seeing Chu Shasha like this, Chu Zhen was afraid that she would fall into her inner demons, and she would never be able to make a breakthrough on the road of cultivation from then on, so she began to marry her. With her qualifications, as long as she finds a better man, the child born from the combination of the two will definitely not be too low, and when the time comes, she will definitely be out of the blue.

Who knew that Chu Zhen had been busy for a few days, and finally found a man who met his conditions, and the other party was very happy about joining the Chu family, and he would definitely not have two hearts in the future, so he quickly set a marriage contract between the two and began to discuss the corresponding matters of marriage. It's a pity that it backfired, and soon someone came to report that Chu Shasha had left a book and escaped from marriage, and Chu Zhen was furious.

The most infuriating thing is that the news leaked out somehow, and the entire Boluo City was watching the jokes of the Chu family, which made the Chu family lose face. Chu Zhen, who has always valued the face of the family, removed Chu Shasha from the family tree and expelled him from the Chu family, and since then there has been no more Chu Shasha, the daughter of the Chu family.

After this blow, Mrs. Chu's body that had been depressed in her chest completely collapsed, and she didn't even hear the news of Chu Shasha for a few years, and she went until the last moment, still staring out the door, hoping for a miracle, and then at her smart and sensible little girl since childhood, even if she knew the news that she was well, she could be gratified. It's a pity that in the empty courtyard, there is nothing but the afterglow of the sunset scattered in the sky.

After the death of Mrs. Chu, Chu Fan completely became an invisible loner in Chu Mansion. Fortunately, although he did not have the talent to practice Taoism, he had a strong heart and a love of reading and studying, and after finding the joy of life, he closed the door and lived his own small life, turning a blind eye to the power struggle and the tendency to inflammatory and subordinate forces in the house, and lived a comfortable and enjoyable life.

Probably due to the influence of his heart and perseverance, Chu Fan has barely practiced to the second level of Qi cultivation in the past few decades, although he cannot be compared with any cultivator in the Chu family, but he is also an unattainable cultivator for ordinary people, and his life span has been extended for a long time, and Chu Fan is very satisfied with this.

It wasn't until Chu Fan was nearly ninety years old that Chu Zhen remembered that he had such a son, who was still his only son-in-law, for the sake of his lack of talent, at least he knew how to work hard, and he had never caused trouble for him over the years, even for the sake of the family's reputation, it was impossible to let the Chu family's son-in-law die alone, so Chu Zhen began to give him family affairs. Maybe there will be very talented descendants of Chu Fan, like that unfilial girl, isn't it a good example. But if he does, he will definitely train hard this time and never allow that kind of thing to happen again.

As soon as the news that the concubine of the Chu family was going to get married, it aroused the thoughts of many well-intentioned people, including several other rooms in the backyard of the Chu family. After some comparison, Chu Zhen finally decided that the third daughter of the Zhao family, who belonged to the same Yin/Water Gate as him, would be the fourth daughter-in-law.
