The grandfather was about to get angry but it felt like his mind was suddenly corrupted.
Indeed, a foundation-building pill is valuable, it will help you build a foundation.
His grandfather nodded slowly, making his decision final.
"Very well, Ye Chen. I trust your judgment and your potential... You have my blessing to become the patriarch of the family and to pursue your path to greatness."
"As for your request, I grant you permission to dual cultivate with the women of our family. It is a heavy responsibility, but I believe in you... We need strong kids with better spirit roots for the betterment of our family, the family roots are getting weaker and weaker." Grandpa stroked his beard.
"This is a family patriarch token, from now on you are a family patriarch."
Ye Chen's face lit up with a mix of excitement and determination.
Indeed his family roots have been getting weaker and weaker over time, and with his spirit root of emperor grade, there is a high possibility of producing a child with a higher grade spirit root and increasing the strength of the family.
He bowed deeply head touching the floor, feeling a surge of gratitude and resolve.
"Thank you, grandfather. I will not let you down. I will use the Emperor-grade spirit root and the gifts from the heavens to bring our family to unparalleled heights..."
As Ye Chen left the room, his grandfather watched him go, a mix of pride and trepidation in his heart.
A true dragon has been born in the family and it's only a matter of time before the sky is in control.
He can't help but smile knowing his wives will give birth to the child of his grandson.
With a deep breath, he picked up the foundation pill from the box, his mind already turning to the cultivation.
"Sigh... I am getting old, I wonder if I can find the child my wives and grandson will make," He shook his head.
The grandpa is already 200 years old and in the ninth stage of the Qi Saint realm, if he can't make a breakthrough he can't live long.
Spirit roots are divided into: Grades 1-9, Holy Spirit root, Saint Spirit root, Divine Spirit root, and Emperor spirit root.
Most members in the family possess grade 2 or grade 3 spirit roots as such, Grandpa can't help but be happy knowing upcoming remembers of the family might be talented individuals.

Meanwhile,
As Grandpa made his way to his wives' chambers, his steps were measured and thoughtful wondering what to tell them.
He knew this conversation would be delicate, but he also knew it was necessary for the greater good.
Taking a deep breath, he knocked on the door to the room where his wives were waiting.
The door opened, revealing two women standing before him, their faces filled with a mix of anticipation and concern.
"Husband..." they said in unison, their voices tinged with a hint of worry.
"You wanted to speak with us? Is something wrong?" they asked.
The first wife, Lady Qing, was a stately woman with long, flowing black hair and piercing green eyes. Her presence radiated an air of calm authority.
The second wife, Lady Feng, was slightly younger, her auburn hair styled in an elaborate updo.
Her golden eyes sparkled with curiosity, and her demeanor was more playful and mischievous.
Grandfather smiled warmly, his eyes filled with love and affection for these two women who had stood by his side for so many years and shared nights singing the song of love.
"Ahem* Ahem*... My sweet wives," he began, his voice gentle yet serious.
"I have something important to discuss with you both. It concerns our family's future and our grandson, Ye Chen."
Lady Qing and Lady Feng exchanged a puzzled glance, their curiosity piqued hearing the family's future.
"Ye Chen?" Lady Feng repeated, her brow furrowed.
"What about him? He's such a sweet boy, always eager to help with the chores and respect his elders..."
Grandfather nodded, a hint of pride in his voice.
"Yes, he is indeed a fine young man. But what I'm about to tell you may come as a shock." He paused, taking a moment to gather his thoughts.
"Ye Chen awakened an Emperor-grade spirit root," he said finally, his words hanging in the air.
"What—"
"Eh!?"
Both women gasped, their eyes widening in disbelief.
"An Emperor-grade spirit root?" Lady Qing whispered, her voice trembling. "But that's... that's unheard of in our family."
Lady Feng's face paled, her hands unconsciously gripping the sleeves of her robes.
"It's a blessing from the heavens," Grandfather continued, his tone filled with awe.
"But with this blessing comes great responsibility. Our family needs strong descendants, children who will carry on our legacy and bring our family to even greater heights."
He took a deep breath, bracing himself for what he was about to say next.
"And that is where you both come in..."
Lady Qing and Lady Feng looked at each other, confusion and concern etched on their faces.
"Us?" they echoed in unison.
Grandfather nodded solemnly.
"I am asking you both to bear Ye Chen's children," he said, his voice firm yet gentle.
"To help strengthen our family's bloodline and ensure a bright future for generations to come..."
The room fell silent, the only sound was the heavy breathing of the three of them.
Lady Qing and Lady Feng stood frozen, their minds racing with the weight of their husband's words.
Finally, Lady Qing found her voice, her tone laced with a mix of emotions.
"Husband, are you sure about this?" she asked, her eyes searching his face.
"We are your wives and you want us to warm another man's bed?"
"Yes... What are you saying, do you even understand what you are saying? Why not let Ye Chen impregnate the servants?" Lady Feng asked.
"Because I am the one to choose who Ye Chen is going to impregnate, and I choose you two," Grandfather said.
"Your status in the family is very important. We can't let Ye Chen marry a servant, they will bear weak children."
"Husband, is he even ready for this responsibility? He is still just a teenager, after all."
"He is, I can sense it in my bones that he can carry this responsibility," Grandfather answered.
Lady Feng shook her head, her expression conflicted.
"But husband, I... I don't know if I can do this. I love you, and the thought of being with another man, even for the sake of our family..." Her voice trailed off, tears welling up in her eyes.
Grandfather's heart ached seeing his beloved wives so torn. He reached out, gently taking their hands in his.
"My beloved wives, I understand your concerns, and I do not take them lightly," he said softly.
"But think about the greater good. Think about the future of our family and the potential greatness that Ye Chen's children could bring." He squeezed their hands reassuringly.
"If you are worried about your virtue, then don't, the child you are going to bear is going to be yours as well. They will carry your blood, and they will be the pride of our family."
Lady Qing and Lady Feng looked into each other's eyes, a silent understanding passing between them.
Finally, Lady Qing spoke up, her voice steady.
"Husband, we will do as you ask," she said, her gaze unwavering.
"For the sake of our family and our shared future, we will bear Ye Chen's children."
Lady Feng nodded in agreement, a determined look on her face.
"Yes, husband. We will not disappoint you or our family." She nodded.
Grandfather felt a wave of relief wash over him, mixed with gratitude for his wives' unwavering loyalty.
"Thank you, my beloved wives," he said, emotion evident in his voice.
"Thank you for your understanding and your commitment to our family. I promise you, this decision will not be taken lightly, and we will ensure that Ye Chen treats you both with the utmost respect and care."
He pulled them and hugged them.

1) let grandpa watch as Mc fucks his wives.
2) No, send that old man to seclusion and let him cultivate otherwise, he might suffer a broken dao heart seeing his wives getting broken, and might die from Qi deviation which will waste the foundation building pill.
