After Qin Yuan left, Qin Hua rubbed his hands onto each other as he looked towards the box that Qin Yuan left on the table.
It was the first time that Qin Hua has come across spiritual stones.
As he picked up one of the spiritual stones, intending to inspect it, the system's voice rang out within his mind.
[Energy detected, energy can be absorbed and turned into life span, do you want to absorb it?]
Immediately, Qin Hua's eyes lighted up and he became incredibly excited.
The energy within a spiritual stone can actually be turned into life span?!
Then, doesn't this mean that, as long as I have enough spiritual stones…
Even if I am unable to become a high realm cultivator, I would still be able to live a long life?
Furthermore, I don't have to worry anymore about the scenario where I would end up dying from taking in too many concubines!
As long as I have enough spiritual stones, I can reproduce as many children as I want without any worries!
"Absorb!"
Without any hesitation, Qin Hua chose to absorb the spiritual stone that was within his hand.
[Absorbed successfully, one year has been added to your life span]
Upon hearing that, Qin Hua became exulted.
If one piece of spiritual stone is able to add one year to my life span…
Doesn't this mean that, if I were to absorb all 50 spiritual stones, 50 years of life span will be added to my life span?!
Very quickly, all 50 spiritual stones were absorbed by him.
And as he had expected, 50 years of life span were added to his life span.
After finished absorbing the spiritual stones, a servant came over and informed him that Qin Yuan has arrived at his residence once again.
Immediately, he knew that it was time for him to go and pick a woman who will become his concubine.
"I got it." Qin Hua calmly waved his hand at the servant, gesturing for the servant to leave.
Right now, since I have 50 more years of life span added to my life span, I feel so much more at ease.
Isn't it just merely 10 years of life span whenever I have sex with a new concubine?
This is nothing to me!
With leisure steps, Qin Hua went to pick the woman who will become his concubine.
...
After picking his concubine, Qin Hua had sex with his concubine on the first day, and once again, the system used up 10 years of his life span to strengthen his sperm.
Since then, a few days had passed.
After spending a few days with his concubine and making sure that she had recovered well, this day, Qin Hua decided to spend the night with his main wife, Qin Yueyue.
Although Qin Yueyue was pregnant and he won't be able to have sex with her even if he chose to spend the night sleeping with her, he still decided to sleep with Qin Yueyue tonight.
In this cultivation world, especially in cultivation families, to the families, a family member who didn't possess a spiritual root was pretty much a dispensable good…
Especially if the member didn't have any close family member who possessed a high realm of cultivation.
Without a high realm cultivator to back them up, most of the time, women without spiritual roots were treated as tools to give birth to descendants, in hopes that one of the descendants would possess a spiritual root.
As for the men without spiritual roots, most of the time, the cultivation families would provide the men with the means to live on as ordinary people…
For example, assigning them jobs and getting them to work for the family.
Afterward, the families would just leave them on their own, so long as they don't create any trouble for the families while they were left on their own.
After all, if a man didn't possess a spiritual root, what use was there for him to the cultivation family, aside from the labour that he would be able to provide?
Firstly, it was a waste to assign a woman with spiritual root to a man who didn't have a spiritual root.
Secondly, what was the point of spending the time assigning a woman without spiritual root to another man without spiritual root?
For the families, doing that would be nothing but a waste of their resources.
The chances of two people without spiritual roots being able to produce a child who possessed a spiritual root were too incredibly low.
Sure, from time to time, an ordinary married couple would also be able to reproduce a child who possessed a spiritual root.
However, most of the time, the child would merely possess a low-quality spiritual root.
Would it be worth it for families to spend lots of resources, just for that slight chance of being able to obtain a descendant who merely possesses a low-quality spiritual root?
The answer was evidently no.
The families might as well look to recruit men who possessed spiritual roots, then assign the women in their family who possessed no spiritual roots to those men.
It didn't matter to a cultivation family whether or not if a descendant's father was a descendant of the family, all that mattered was that the descendant possessed the family's bloodline.
At a glance, it does seem cruel that those women were treated pretty much as dispensable objects for giving birth to descendants, while the men were able to live out the rest of their lives in peace.
However, from another perspective, the women without spiritual roots at least had the chance to climb up the social ladder within the cultivation world.
So long as they were able to give birth to a child who possesses a spiritual root, their status within their cultivation families would immediately raise.
And it must be known that, although people without spiritual roots weren't able to cultivate…
In this world, there were still medicinal pills and medicinal herbs that were able to extend a human's life span.
And those medicinal pills and medicinal herbs also worked for people without spiritual roots.
Meanwhile, for pretty much all of the men that were born without spiritual roots, they were destined to just live as they were till the end of their lives.
Perhaps, mainly due to having spent his early years on Earth…
And adding on with the fact that he lived in a peaceful region of his country, Qin Hua couldn't bear to just treat his women as mere dispensable objects for reproducing children.
Even if Qin Yueyue was aware from the start that he was going to be having a lot of concubines, for the sake of reproducing children for the family…
Qin Hua felt that he should still show care for Qin Yueyue.
And to Qin Hua, companionship was a good way to show care for someone.
Now that his concubine had fully recovered from her first night, Qin Hua felt that he could now start spending nights with Qin Yueyue once again.
Which was why he decided to spend tonight with Qin Yueyue instead.
