My Ares Son-in-Law

Cultivation is by no means as simple as practicing hard behind closed doors.

It requires a large amount of precious and rare spiritual materials and medicines to nourish the body and enhance spiritual power; it requires countless years and energy to study those ancient and mysterious advanced skills hidden deep in ancient books; it also requires seclusion and practice in a place where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathers, absorbing the purest vitality in nature to enrich oneself.

Which of these does not require a huge amount of wealth to support? Ordinary people are busy with worldly affairs every day, running around for a few pieces of silver, barely maintaining their basic needs. How can they have the spare energy to bear the bottomless pit of spiritual practice expenses?
Therefore, even if they have outstanding talents in cultivation, they can only look at the unattainable path of cultivation under the heavy pressure of reality, sigh secretly, and suppress the glimmer of hope in their hearts.

However, in sharp contrast to this are those cultivation families with profound heritage. They are like the huge root systems intertwined in the ancient mountains and forests. After hundreds or even thousands of years of accumulation and inheritance, they control a vast amount of enviable cultivation resources.

In those majestic and mysterious treasure houses, there were flickering lights, and countless rare treasures and precious elixirs were piled up. There were also innumerable high-level magical instruments containing tremendous spiritual power.

Those ancient martial arts secret manuals sealed in the secret chambers of aristocratic families, each of them seems to be a magnificent classic containing the ultimate principles of heaven and earth, driving countless practitioners crazy.

In view of this, in order to ensure that the family always maintains an advantageous position in the competition in the cultivation world and continues to grow and develop, the aristocratic families have turned their attention to those potential cultivation talents scattered among the people.

They sent out experienced and discerning masters from their families to search the vast world, not letting go of any hidden spiritual light. Once they found someone with outstanding cultivation qualifications, the family would quickly take action like a greedy hunter finding prey.

The noble families will generously extend olive branches to these potential practitioners, opening a smooth road for them to reach the pinnacle of practice.

They will provide practitioners with a variety of resources, arrange the best instructors to teach them the experience and skills of practice, give them precious medicinal materials and skills without reservation, and do their best to help these practitioners improve their strength and help them grow.

Of course, there is no free lunch in the world. The noble families are so generous and naturally expect corresponding returns. In exchange for accepting the cultivation of the noble families, the practitioners are like being tied with invisible shackles and need to serve the noble families.

The noble families would send them to complete various tasks, or go out to search for rare treasures to increase the family's resource reserves; or engage in disputes and battles between families to defend the family's dignity and honor; or delve into exercises and explore new paths of practice to contribute wisdom and strength to the family's inheritance and development.

This is just like how those well-known large companies in modern society select talents.

When a company has discerningly discovered a talented person with unlimited potential, it will spare no expense to send them abroad for further studies, allowing them to be exposed to the world's cutting-edge knowledge and technology and enhance their abilities and qualities. This is like providing fertile soil and sufficient nutrients for an originally ordinary seed, helping it to thrive and grow into a towering tree.

When the tree grows stronger, the company will ask for a return. These talents must work hard for the company for several years, apply what they have learned to the company's development, and cannot leave at will within the specified period.

Otherwise, what awaits them will be a staggeringly high penalty for breach of contract, which makes it difficult for them to easily violate the contract under realistic considerations. For those practitioners selected by the cultivation families, they actually did not suffer any loss. The last thing that the cultivation families lack is money and resources. In the process of working hard for the families, the rewards they receive are also extremely generous.

Perhaps just by completing one mission, the cultivation resources they get are enough for ordinary practitioners to fight for their whole lives. These resources can make their cultivation path smoother and their strength can be rapidly improved. Moreover, under the protection of the family, they can have a social status and reputation far beyond that of ordinary people.

Although joining an aristocratic family means they will lose some of their freedom and cannot pursue what they want as they please, and must obey the arrangements of the aristocratic family, but as the saying goes, "It's nice to lean on a big tree for shade."

As a member of a martial arts family, they don't need to worry about material life. They have money, and the abundance of material things allows them to devote themselves to practice. At the same time, they enjoy the envy and awe of others, and they have face.

Coupled with the elaborate strategies of winning over the aristocratic families, from generous material rewards to extremely high status and respect, these practitioners deeply feel that they are an indispensable part of the aristocratic families.

Therefore, once many people enter a noble family, they seem to have found their spiritual home. They stay there for the rest of their lives and dedicate their entire lives to this family that provides them with a broad stage and endless opportunities.

In this slightly dim and tense room, the lights flickered, reflecting the messy scene on the ground. Zhao Chunhua was wearing a gorgeous dress, standing tall and proud, with a natural majesty and aura in her eyes.

At this moment, her eyes fell on the bald man's exaggerated broken leg. The broken leg was in an extremely distorted posture, and the bone seemed to be about to pierce the skin. Blood was constantly oozing out of the wound, dyeing the surrounding ground a horrible dark red.

A hint of anger suddenly appeared on Zhao Chunhua's face, which was already cold and hard. Her brows were tightly knitted together, and her eyes became sharper, as if they could shoot out two cold rays of light.

This bald man is Zhao Chunhua's savior.

Back then, during an emergency incident fraught with danger, it was this bald man who stepped forward regardless of his own safety, and used his not-so-strong but extremely strong body to block the fatal damage for Zhao Chunhua, saving her life from the brink of death.

Although afterwards, Zhao Chunhua used the power and resources of the Zhao family to help Guangtou get many business projects and provided him with a lot of financial support in life, so many times that she couldn't count them herself, but she knew in her heart that this life-saving grace would be difficult to repay even if she spent her whole life and energy.

And now, someone actually dared to attack the bald man under her nose and beat him into such a horrible state.

This was not only an insult to the bald man, but in Zhao Chunhua's view, it was also a sign that he did not take her seriously at all, and did not take the Zhao family's influence and prestige in this area seriously at all. (End of this chapter)
