A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality and I Become a God
Chapter Summary
For cultivators, it requires a payment of five low-grade spirit stones, so for cultivators with lower cultivation levels, freely entering and leaving Sunset City is a problem. After all, Wu Hao could take out twenty mid-grade spirit stones as room fee without even blinking and didn't even need to give change. Considering that Wu Hao could casually take out a mid-grade spirit stone as a reward, Wu Hao's cultivation level was probably at least at the Nascent Soul stage.
"Father, do I really want to get married and have children?"
Wu Rulong looked troubled and said somewhat reluctantly.
He was originally focused on cultivating immortality and had never considered matters of romance. If his father hadn't spoken up, he probably wouldn't have even had such thoughts.
Wu Hao sighed, his tone tinged with melancholy.
“Rulong, do you know what your mother said when she left? She said she hoped that when she returned to the Wu family, she would see a happy scene with her children and grandchildren all around her.”
"Besides, this huge Wu family estate is a bit too empty with just the two of us, so I want to hold my grandson. Do you understand?"
Seeing his father's serious expression, Wu Rulong thought to himself, "You say you want to find a daughter-in-law, but where am I going to find one for you?"
But there was no other way; he was such a filial son, so he gritted his teeth and agreed.
"But Dad, where am I supposed to find a wife? Aren't we living deep in the mountains right now?"
Wu Rulong seemed to realize something and asked somewhat blankly.
Wu Hao was taken aback, then remembered that they had been living in the mountains for the past ten years. They had chosen to live in seclusion in the mountains after learning that their cultivation talent was extremely mediocre and that they did not have any cheat codes.
It was precisely because of this that he met his wife, Su Qiaoran, in this mountain.
The following statement is that because he wanted to keep a low profile, he had been living in seclusion in the mountains. In other words, the reason why his son did not find him a wife was because he had never been in contact with women.
Thinking of this, Wu Hao coughed and then said with utmost seriousness.
"Alright, in that case, I'll take you to visit some nearby cities today. If you see a high-quality, outstanding woman you fancy, just tell me, and I'll arrange a marriage for you. Of course, not the kind with too powerful a background."
Wu Hao then reminded him that he had some understanding of the outside world before he came into seclusion, so he knew that the most powerful city lords in those cities were only at the Nascent Soul stage. As long as he kept a low profile, he should be fine.
Upon hearing that he could go out for a stroll, Wu Rulong's eyes lit up immediately. Eighteen years, eighteen years of staying here, he was already tired of it. If his father hadn't said that he couldn't go out, he probably would have already sneaked out to play.
Now that he can finally go out, how could Wu Rulong not be happy?
"Let's go, let's head to the outer city."
After saying this, Wu Hao walked out of the courtyard, and Wu Rulong quickly followed.
In the Xuan Tian Realm, most of the land is unclaimed, so after settling down in the mountains, Wu Hao enclosed a large portion of the land as a courtyard.
Whether it was because Wu Hao was lucky or something else, no monsters had come to cause trouble in recent years.
On the way, Wu Rulong was as excited as a child, looking left and touching right. Wu Hao didn't stop him, after all, Wu Rulong had been at home until he was eighteen, and his understanding of the Xuan Tian Realm was basically all told by him.
Before long, led by Wu Hao, the two finally arrived at a nearby city. There, a plaque hung above the city, with the three large characters "Sunset City" written on it.
Pedestrians and cultivators came and went at the city gate, presenting a bustling and prosperous scene.
This was the first time Wu Rulong had seen a human being other than his father, and he became excited and shouted.
"Dad, look! It's a person!"
"Okay, okay, I got it."
Wu Hao immediately sensed several strange glances from those around him and awkwardly stopped the excited Wu Rulong.
It's my own fault; I should have brought Rulong to Sunset City more often.
After rummaging through the storage ring, although most of the items were top-grade spirit stones, there were also quite a few low-grade and mid-grade spirit stones. The rule of Sunset City was that mortals needed to pay an entrance fee of fifty coins to enter.
For cultivators, it requires a payment of five low-grade spirit stones, so for cultivators with lower cultivation levels, freely entering and leaving Sunset City is a problem.
After paying ten low-grade spirit stones, Wu Hao led Wu Rulong into Sunset City. This was the first time in eighteen years that Wu Hao had re-entered a human city.
Upon entering Sunset City, Wu Hao and Wu Rulong witnessed an extremely magnificent cityscape, filled with merchants and pedestrians. Although most were ordinary people, there were also quite a few cultivators, probably two out of every ten people.
Looking at the scene before him, Wu Rulong pondered his next move, and just then Wu Hao spoke up.
"Let's go, let's find an inn and get a room to rest. Finding a daughter-in-law isn't something that can be done in a short time."
After all, a daughter-in-law cannot be chosen casually. She must at least have the cultivation level of Foundation Establishment to become Wu Hao's daughter-in-law. Although it is difficult for someone with high cultivation to give birth to offspring, it is easier for someone with higher cultivation to give birth to descendants with spiritual roots.
On this matter, Wu Rulong naturally listened to his father. The father and son soon arrived at an inn, and under the innkeeper's shocked gaze, they took out twenty mid-grade spirit stones and booked two top-tier private rooms.
In the inn in Sunset City, there are private rooms specifically for cultivators. These rooms are divided into four categories: Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow. The Yellow room can be rented for just one low-grade spirit stone, but it can only be rented for one day.
The Xuan-level private room costs 10 low-grade spirit stones per day, the Di-level private room costs 50 low-grade spirit stones per day, and the Tian-level private room costs 100 low-grade spirit stones per day. Wu Hao and his group did not know how long they would stay, so they rented it for ten days for the time being.
Sitting on the bed in the top-tier private room, Wu Hao waved his hand and summoned the manager over.
"Sir, what brings you here?"
The innkeeper looked at Wu Hao in front of him and asked somewhat nervously. After all, Wu Hao could take out twenty mid-grade spirit stones as room fee without even blinking and didn't even need to give change. Anyone who wasn't stupid could tell that Wu Hao was no ordinary person.
Wu Hao considered it for a moment before asking the question.
"Shopkeeper, this is my first time in Sunset City. My purpose is to find a wife for my son. I wonder if you have any ideas? Don't worry, as long as the other party's cultivation level is above the Foundation Establishment stage and her spiritual root is at least a mid-grade spiritual root, all other conditions are negotiable. Of course, she must be a decent person."
"As long as you can name a suitable one, this mid-grade spirit stone will be your reward."
Upon hearing Wu Hao's words and seeing him take out another mid-grade spirit stone, the shopkeeper's eyes lit up instantly.
He himself was also a cultivator, but his cultivation level was not high, only reaching the Foundation Establishment stage. However, he did not sense Wu Hao's aura at all, which shows that Wu Hao's cultivation level was definitely above his. Considering that Wu Hao could casually take out a mid-grade spirit stone as a reward, Wu Hao's cultivation level was probably at least at the Nascent Soul stage.
Thinking of this, the shopkeeper suddenly felt uneasy and quickly waved his hand to refuse.
"It is my honor to serve you, senior. Please take the spirit stones back!"
He was genuinely worried that Wu Hao might kill him after he accepted the mid-grade spirit stone, so for safety's sake, he absolutely couldn't accept it.
But Wu Hao immediately became anxious and said with a tense face.
"Shopkeeper, are you looking down on me by refusing to accept my spirit stones?"
After saying that, Wu Hao emitted a faint aura from his body, which immediately filled the shopkeeper with fear. In his perception, Wu Hao's aura was like a raging sea, and he was just a small boat in it, which could be capsized at any moment.
Thinking of this, how could the shopkeeper dare to refuse? He quickly accepted the mid-grade spirit stones and then revealed the identities of all the prominent young ladies in Sunset City.
PS: I sincerely apologize to all readers. Due to the author's oversight, I forgot that I had low-grade spirit stones. I'm very sorry. Furthermore, for the current protagonist, there is no difference between high-grade and low-grade spirit stones. After all, the protagonist himself doesn't need them, and his son can't use them all. Moreover, even if he were to give them away to his descendants, there would be no return on his investment. So, for the protagonist, giving away high-grade or low-grade spirit stones makes no difference, since the protagonist doesn't need them anyway.
However, the author did not expect that many people would consider this a flaw. It was an oversight on the author's part, and it will be corrected later. Sorry.
