Opportunities at the Long Family Celebration

Zhang Wei had been cultivating non-stop for some time, but suddenly he was hit with a severe headache and pain all over his body. He quickly stopped cultivating and realized that something was wrong. He looked inside his body with his soul and understood the cause of the pain. His body was still a mortal body, and the amount of spiritual qi he had absorbed was too much for it to handle.

He knew that he needed to take it slowly and not push himself too hard. This also confirmed his previous suspicion that cultivation was not only dependent on fate, but also on one's body constitution. He had heard from Madam Chi that everyone in this world was born with a spiritual root, which could range from godly roots to mortal roots.

Mortal roots were the worst, as they could only absorb a limited amount of spiritual qi from heaven and earth. Zhang Wei had initially wondered what his spiritual roots would be, but now he was certain that they were mortal roots. Although mortal roots could still cultivate, due to their limited lifespan, no one could break through to the next realm. So almost no one with mortal roots chose to cultivate, as it was not worth the effort.

But Zhang Wei was not discouraged. He had never relied on his spiritual roots as a basis for his cultivation. Instead, his plan was to use women to cultivate. He was confident that even with his mortal roots, all the women with excellent roots would eventually kneel before him.

The discovery of his mortal roots was a revelation for Zhang Wei, but it was not going to stop him from pursuing his ultimate goal. He would take his cultivation one step at a time, and his cunning and ruthless tactics would help him rise to the top.

Zhang Wei spent the rest of the day thinking about how he could progress faster in his cultivation. Meanwhile, Madam Chi returned after receiving the guests. From her, Zhang Wei learned about the upcoming Long Family Celebration, a grand event that was to take place the next day. The celebration was to mark the Long Family's prosperity and many guests have been invited.

The highlight of the celebration was a martial arts competition, which would be held tomorrow. An immortal from the main Long Family was expected to attend and select some new disciples with excellent roots. Zhang Wei was curious about the immortals and how powerful they might be. He knew that the Chi Family and Long Family were both considered immortal families, but they lived as ordinary rich people. There was no fairy-like power in their day-to-day life, and only some talented children and powerful elders cultivated in seclusion for a long time.

Zhang Wei also understood that the Long Family Celebration was a great opportunity for the younger generations. He was looking forward to witnessing the power of true immortals, as he had never seen one before. Although he knew that neither the Chi Family nor the Long Family were true immortal families, they were considered the direct bloodline of an immortal family. They stayed in the mortal world to guard their territory and when one's cultivation reached a certain level, they could return to the main family. If not, they had to stay in the mortal world forever. Most of the people with low qualifications chose to stay in the mortal world and enjoy riches and honors.

The event was made even more significant by the presence of the emperor of this dynasty, Prince Chang's father. He was to come from the capital and was going to use a teleportation array, which was very costly and even the royal family had to think twice before using it. This was the first time Zhang Wei heard of such an array and was eager to see it in action.

Zhang Wei realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see the true power of an immortal cultivator and to see how they compared to the immortals of the Chi and Long families. He was determined to make the most of this opportunity and hoped that it would bring him one step closer to his goal of becoming an immortal himself.

Zhang Wei was still pondering about the opportunity of the upcoming martial art competition and meeting with the immortals. But his thoughts took a different turn when he learned about the arrival of Madam Chi's sisters. He had already developed an interest in Madam Chi's Yin Qi, and now the thought of having access to her sisters' Yin Qi was enticing.

A sinister smile crept up on his lips as he thought about the possibility of using Madam Chi's sisters to cultivate. He knew that his mortal roots were a hindrance in cultivation, and he needed a significant amount of Yin Qi to progress faster. This newfound knowledge had opened up a new avenue for him to achieve his goal.

Madam Chi, who was in the room, noticed the change in Zhang Wei's expression and felt an inexplicable chill run down her spine. She had a feeling that something sinister was brewing in Zhang Wei's mind, but she couldn't put her finger on what it was.

Zhang Wei, on the other hand, was lost in his thoughts, thinking about the endless possibilities of using Madam Chi's sisters to cultivate. He laughed to himself, imagining the power he could attain with their Yin Qi.
