Immortal Clan: Starting from Managing a Blessed Land.

Chapter 13: The fourth level of Qi training, another ten years!
Time flies, and two years go by in a flash.

Inside the house, Shang Ting was meditating and practicing with a frown on his face.

From the age of fifteen to seventeen, Shang Ting grew tall, about nine feet tall, with a body as straight as a pine tree.

Its temperament is like that of an ancient tree, exuding a calm and steady quality.

It is in stark contrast to his young and handsome appearance.

"Gulu gulu..."

In front of the bed, an alchemy furnace was emitting steam. Shang Ting was refining a furnace of Qi Condensing Pills.

With the superb skills of a third-level alchemist, he can easily master the refining of low-level Qi Condensation Pills.

It is enough to practice and refine the elixir at the same time.

A few moments.

"Click..."

Within Shang Ting’s spiritual orifice, all the emerald green magic power was condensed to the extreme and finally turned into a touch of dark green!
Breakthrough completed! Fourth level of Qi training!
An even stronger wave of spiritual energy spread throughout the house, and the rich wood energy of time around the body was suddenly absorbed into the body.

Shang Ting suddenly opened his eyes and smiled:
"Add another ten years to your life!"

In the Qi training realm, advancing from the third level to the fourth level is just a small hurdle.

It means advancing from the early stage of Qi training to the middle stage of Qi training.

The vast majority of inferior spiritual roots, and even many cultivators with low-grade spiritual roots, will stagnate here.

Need guidance from teachers and combat experience.

Even for those with middle-grade spiritual roots, it often takes three to four years to cultivate them.

However, for Shangting, there is no such thing as a small checkpoint when rebuilding the road.

Only the sublimation of such great realms as foundation building and core forming requires special attention.

"The time has come."

Shang Ting looked at the alchemy furnace calmly.

A stream of magic power shot out from his fingers and accurately hit the alchemy furnace that was burning brightly.

This magical power instantly extinguished the fire in the furnace, froze the furnace body, and controlled the residual heat in the furnace at just the right temperature!
"Pah... the medicine is very effective."

Shang Ting stood up, opened the lid of the stove, and a fragrant hot steam rose out.

There were exactly ten Qi Condensing Pills lying at the bottom of the furnace.

Just by smelling the medicinal fragrance, Shang Ting could tell that the medicine in this furnace was of high quality.

Looking at the pills again, each one is round and full, with uniform color, and exudes a rich and pure medicinal fragrance.

Its surface is smooth and delicate without any flaws.

The internal medicinal power is full and stable, and the medicinal effects it contains are powerful.

Whether from the appearance or the internal medicinal effects, it can be regarded as a masterpiece in alchemy.

Other alchemists are very careful when refining elixirs, fearing that the temperature will be wrong.

But Shang Ting dared to refine the pills over a high fire, which allowed him to efficiently refine the pills while ensuring their quality!

If these ten Qi Condensing Pills were sold to the family, they would be worth two low-grade spirit stones.

"My lord, there is a letter delivered."

Outside the house, the maid Chunyue brought in the letter box.

The kiosk was opened and there were two letters inside.

One was from Zhong Nianhua and the other was from Shang Ruyao.

Shang Ting opened the letter from Shang Ruyao first.

"Xiaoting! It's been a long time since we last met. Is your training going well?"

"From what my uncle said, you live a comfortable life in the family, rarely go out, and even learned the art of alchemy! That's great."

"My brother and I have had an extremely hard time in this broken sect. Outer disciples have missions every month. The last time..."

This woman, who looked as cold as snow, was actually very happy in the letter she wrote to her family.

The letter was filled with complaints and grievances, and it took up several pages.

Record in detail all the stupid people and stupid things you encounter, with laughter, anger, and surging emotions.

Shang Ting read it carefully without missing a single word.

I couldn't help but shake my head and chuckle.

Since Ruyao joined the Yanyang Sect, she would send letters back almost every few months.

Every time, Shang Yangde and Shang Ting would read it carefully and then write back to comfort them.

She also brought some of the merchant's specialties that she and Shang Jianfeng liked and sent them back in reply.

But Jianfeng never writes letters.

He only asked Ruyao to tell him the good news in the letter. Shang Ting immediately picked up his pen and wrote a letter in reply.

He then put the ten newly-made Qi-Condensing Pills into a pill bottle and gave them to her and Jian Feng.

Immediately afterwards, Shang Ting opened the letter from Zhong Nianhua.

"Brother Shang! Are you well? It has been two years since we parted ways in Yanyang Sect. How is Xiaopang doing?"

"A year ago, he wrote back saying that he had twins. He named the eldest son Shang Xiaohua and the second son Shang Xiaoting. He hoped that they would be like you and me?"

"Haha, if I have the chance I will definitely come and see these two nephews..."

Like Shang Ruyao, Zhong Nianhua also often exchanged letters with Shang Ting.

In his letter, Zhong Nianhua also expressed deep regret for the hardships of cultivation and the wickedness of human nature.

The feelings are sincere and touching, and it is very moving to read.

Shang Ting naturally wrote back a letter and gave him ten Qi Condensing Pills.

Chunyue came over from outside the door again and bowed:
"My lady, tonight is your uncle Yangde's sixtieth birthday, and Monk Wang's third daughter's full moon banquet, two banquets in total..."

Before I knew it, two years had passed and Xiaopang now had his second child.
Shang Ting sighed in his heart, time flies by like a white horse.

The young men who parted at Yan Yang Sect that year were all seventeen years old.

In another year, I will become an adult.

Different choices lead to different encounters in the world of immortal cultivation.

There are independent cultivators like Zhong Nianhua who grow with difficulty, and there are also cultivators from sects like Jian Feng Ruyao who forge ahead.

Furthermore, there are people like Shang Ting and Zhang Xiaopang.

Practice safely in a family of immortal cultivators and live a peaceful life.

"Okay, I know. Chunyue, I heard that your brother has been tested for spiritual root aptitude?"

Shang Ting waved his hand when he knew it.

But when the maid Chunyue was about to leave, he suddenly remembered this matter again.

"My young master, you are actually concerned about Chunyue? I am honored... My brother only has a low-grade spiritual root..."

Chunyue's face turned red instantly, she was extremely surprised.

"Take these five Qi Condensation Pills. They are most effective at the beginning of cultivation and can help your brother reach the second level of Qi training as soon as possible."

Shang Ting smiled slightly and rewarded him with five pills.

Chunyue was so grateful that she kowtowed repeatedly.

He held the medicine bottle and burst into tears, then retreated respectfully.

Shang Ting thought to himself:

"This Qi Condensing Pill is truly a wonderful thing. It is suitable for anyone to give it to, and it can be refined into a whole furnace at a time."

He refined two furnaces of elixirs every day, and it only took half an hour.

Twenty pieces are produced every day, and ten pieces are sold to the family at a 20% discount, which can earn two spirit stones.

There are five more for my own use to speed up my cultivation.

The last five were kept in medicine bottles, and some were used for personal exchanges.

Some of them can be accumulated and sold together, and ten low-grade spirit stones can be collected at a time.

"I have accumulated so much without realizing it?"

Shang Ting turned around and looked at the cabinet on the side.

There are eight pill bottles neatly placed on it, and each bottle contains ten Qi Condensing Pills.

"Little Fatty's daughter also has spiritual roots? Haha, she is truly a lucky member of our business. Take two bottles with you."

"Sending Qi Condensation Pills to Uncle Yangde? That's inappropriate..."

Uncle Yangde was injured when he was young and had no children.

Shang Ting thought for a moment and took out a golden pill from the drawer. The pill was three times the size of the Qi Condensing Pill.

Huanglong Pill is a first-level intermediate elixir, suitable for people in the middle stage of Qi training and above.

The effect is to enhance the vitality of the monk's body and make him look much younger.

Moreover, Shang Ting had already injected his own Dachun magic power into this pill.

It adds a slight effect of prolonging life, although it cannot increase life span.

But it is feasible to make Uncle Yangde's white hair and wrinkled face return to his forties.

After preparing the gifts, Shang Ting closed his eyes, expecting:

"This time I have achieved a breakthrough in my realm and absorbed a ray of the energy of time! Will my life space undergo another gratifying change?"
