Chapter 214: Time, Time, Time
The most direct reason for Fu Yunsheng marrying Chu Shen is unknown to the outside world.
Chu Shen made a breakthrough.
Having previously reached the same Foundation Building ninth level realm, he smoothly entered the Spirit Gathering stage, which gave her a strong stimulation and undoubtedly ignited a more fervent desire for his opportunities.
In addition, Gong Liusu, who surpassed her in both cultivation level and status in the Immortal Peak, unexpectedly entered the Chu family, which further fueled her thoughts.
In the end, she made a bold gamble.
After their intimate encounter, she discovered signs of her spiritual roots evolving, along with the assistance of mysterious spiritual energy amplifying her cultivation. She was extremely surprised and realized that she had made the right decision. She believed her judgment was wise and gained a new understanding of Chu Shen's opportunities. She no longer cared about the flattery from her former admirers.
Since then, she has been content in the Qunyu Palace.
Chu Shen, of course, knows her intentions but doesn't really mind. Their union brings him greater benefits without any loss.
Furthermore, Fu Yunsheng's marriage reward turned out to be a precious treasure that surprised him even more.
[Congratulations on the union!]

[Union Reward: Essence of Law, three random rewards]
[Achieved Achievements: Dog Man and Woman, Five Elements Innate Qi (Earth)]
[Achievement Reward: 1,100 spirit stones, forty spirit jades, Earth Spirit Seed *1, Advanced Qi Art (self-selected) *1]
The usual parts of the rewards are not mentioned.
The strengthening of [Innate Earth Spirit Qi] enhanced his physique.
The [Earth Spirit Seed], like the [Wood Spirit Seed] obtained by Wei Liangnu, is something that needs to be cultivated slowly over time. What it will eventually grow into is still unknown.
The [Advanced Qi Art] is a good reward, and in the end, Chu Shen chose to become a talisman master, which can be considered as his third powerful auxiliary profession.
However, the items obtained from the [random rewards] surprised Chu Shen. He didn't expect to receive these things.
The first item is a stone, but it has a name called "Soul Tomb". It contains a marvelous soul world. As long as the living person drips blood on this stone during their lifetime, their soul will be summoned into it after death and live in the soul world inside the stone, which is like a miniature underworld.
Of course, there are no judges like the King of Hell in this "Soul Tomb", and its true purpose is not as an afterlife world, but as a temporary storage for the souls of the deceased. If there is a chance for resurrection, they can return to life again.
So after this treasure was revealed, Fu Yunsheng made a great contribution to the Chu family. How could Chu Shen not be tolerant?
The second "random reward" that was revealed is called "Nonsense Scribbles". It is a very magical treasure. After locking onto a target, the words written on paper by the target will be synchronously copied by this treasure. The user of the treasure can also tamper with these words through this item, thereby synchronously tampering with the words written by the target locked by the treasure.
Although its current effect seems insignificant, it is quite interesting.
On the other hand, the third item revealed from the "random reward" made Chu Shen a little uneasy.
This item is also a treasure called "Heaven and Earth Marriage Book", with the words written on the cover:
"A marriage book, presented to the heavens, lamented in the underworld, enlightening the three realms, witnessed by the heavens, forever united in harmony. If this heart is betrayed, it shall be accused of deceiving the heavens. If there is no companionship, it shall be regarded as hiding from the earth. It will surely be punished by the heavens and the earth, burdening three lifetimes."
Its function is that once the names of a man and a woman are written on this marriage book, it is equivalent to the marriage being witnessed by heaven and earth. Once the marriage breaks... take a look at what is written on the cover, the consequences will last for three generations. And this treasure can actually achieve this, which is truly terrifying!
Unfortunately, Chu Shen has many concubines, so he is destined not to use this treasure. Once his name is written on it, he will definitely be punished by the heavens and the earth!
Thinking of the consequences, he shuddered and dared not take out this item.
Perhaps, this is the self-awareness of a scumbag.
Overall, the benefits brought by Fu Yunsheng are not small, and naturally, she has her position in the Chu family.
Not only that, she is also an important channel for Chu Shen to connect with the Ling Arts Peak.
As a person who is considered a potential genius of the Ling Arts Peak, Fu Yunsheng's potential is quite good, naturally receiving the favor of her superiors, and there are also many capable people among the crowd she associates with.
Chu Shen is fed up with Yan Shu's focus on the bigger picture and wants to become the bigger picture himself. Expanding his influence is something that is inevitably necessary.
However, expanding influence often requires three prerequisites:
First, being strong enough oneself.
Second, having a wide network of relationships.
Third, bringing benefits to others.
In terms of being strong enough oneself, Chu Shen is at a disadvantage compared to those high-level cultivators, but he is not truly weak. It's just that compared to those high-level cultivators, he is too young.
High-level cultivators often have hundreds or thousands of years of cultivation experience. This advantage of being ahead and accumulated strength objectively exists and is not easily equalized.
But Chu Shen's progress is far from normal.
Don't be fooled by the fact that he is only at the ninth level of Foundation Building... Oh, no, now he has already stepped into the Spirit Gathering stage. And how many years has he been in the Dongxuan Heaven?
Perhaps this rate of progress is not as impressive as those transmigrators who become invincible in another world, but given time, with no upper limit and the possibility of hanging, he will become invincible.
In addition, he has many killer treasures hidden away. In terms of actual strength, he may not be weaker than high-level cultivators. It's just that a tree standing tall in the forest will inevitably be destroyed by the wind. He can't openly declare that his treasures can silently bring death to others and attract attacks from the cultivation world, right?
Having a wide network of relationships is what he is currently working on. He marries so many concubines not just for their beauty, but they themselves are social connections. When organized, they form a network of relationships, which is also the foundation of his roots in Dongxuan Heaven.
Fu Yunsheng is the same.
As for bringing benefits, this is Chu Shen's specialty. Whether it's the resource reorganization in Nanping City or the benefits he can bring to the female cultivators through the dual cultivation system he carries, as well as the various benefits provided by the system, he always finds a win-win point of agreement.
Just like cultivation, what Chu Shen lacks now is time and accumulation, but the conditions are all there.
