The Immortal Clan: Taking Wives Starting With a Five-Element Spiritual Root

While the markets of Qingyang City are still fragrant with spirit herbs, Chen Changsheng is driven to desperation by a shattered spirit-jade cup. No one expects the errand boy mocked as a “five-element-root good-for-nothing” to sign a marriage contract and wed a Foundation Establishment cultivator overnight. Fewer still could imagine that this seemingly absurd marriage would become the first brick to shift the balance of the entire cultivation world.

His talent is mediocre, but he uses the System to unlock cultivation methods, pills, and secret arts. He was born humble, but with every comeback he gathers talented followers and makes allies of heroes. From a market son-in-law to the head of a clan, Chen Changsheng takes the most down-to-earth approach to forging his own path in a world of immortal cultivators: marrying for resources. His Dao companions are no mere ornaments. They are weapon refiners, formation masters, intelligence chiefs, and battle-hardened warriors who protect the clan.

Yet every rise comes at a price: sacrificing family ties, being betrayed by those he trusts, and even facing the brink of life and death. When his enemies begin coveting his System and the women close to him are drawn into a vortex of intrigue, can he protect everything he has fought so hard to gain?

If fate has already branded him a good-for-nothing, then he will kindle the flame of his comeback through one marriage after another. But when power and passion intertwine, and strength goes hand in hand with responsibility, how will he hold on to his original convictions amid the bloody storms of the cultivation world?
