Everyone's Immortal Cultivation: Starting from a Junior Talisman Maker

Chapter 106 I Became the Family's Backer (Part 2, Please Subscribe)
In life, one cannot avoid dealing with interpersonal relationships and social interactions.

Moreover, given Yang Feng's state of mind, he is unlikely to be able to maintain the same level of cultivation for decades or even centuries.

Ultimately, Yang Feng is still just an ordinary person at this stage, and he is not yet able to give up his emotions and desires.

Moreover, after summarizing his cultivation over the years, Yang Feng discovered that he had filled his daily cultivation time to the brim.

Over time, this will cause one's mind to be constantly under high stress, thus reducing one's cultivation efficiency.

On the contrary, proper relaxation, allowing one's body and mind to be soothed, can significantly improve one's cultivation efficiency.

Therefore, Yang Feng quickly let it go.

I decided to treat this trip home to visit relatives and friends as a way to relieve stress.

"grandparents……"

"Uncle, Aunt..."

The day after Yang Feng returned home, Yang Yu learned from his grandparents that Yang Feng had returned home, so he bought some spiritual fruits and went to Yang Feng's house with his parents to congratulate him.

"Xiaoyu's here..."

"Last time you came, you bought a lot of valuable gifts. Why did you buy so many spiritual fruits this time?"

When Yang Qilin saw that his third brother's family had bought a lot of spiritual fruits this time, and the prices were not cheap, he complained for a moment before taking the spiritual fruits from Yang Yu's hands and leading Yang Yu, his third brother Yang Qishu, and his sister-in-law Zhou Ying to sit down in the living room.

"Sister-in-law, I heard that our Xiaofeng is back?"

Yang Yu's family came to the living room and chatted with his grandparents, uncles and aunts for a while. However, Yang Feng did not appear. Yang Yu's mother, Zhou Ying, could not help but ask.

"Yes, I came back yesterday and I'm cultivating upstairs now..."

Zhang Yunya nodded and said that she did not disturb her son's cultivation because of the arrival of Yang Yu's family.

"Oh, cultivation is more important, let's not disturb him."

"Sister-in-law, you don't know, ever since our Xiaofeng became a Foundation Establishment cultivator, all the neighbors in our town praise him endlessly whenever they see me..."

"Our Xiaofeng is really making our whole family proud now."

Hearing that Yang Feng was cultivating, Zhou Ying wisely refrained from disturbing him. Instead, she kept praising Yang Feng in front of her elder brother and sister-in-law, looking quite proud of him.

And so, the three of them waited until lunchtime before Yang Feng finally came downstairs.

"elder brother!"

"Nephew, congratulations on your successful Foundation Establishment! May your cultivation path be free of bottlenecks, and may you advance triumphantly, eventually reaching the Golden Core stage, or even the Nascent Soul stage..."

When Yang Yu, Zhou Ying, and Yang Qishu saw Yang Feng coming downstairs, they all stood up to offer their blessings.

Yang Yu was usually quite reserved, but when he saw Yang Feng, he became very reserved. He had prepared a long speech of congratulations for a long time, but for some reason, he was too nervous to say it when he saw Yang Feng.

Seeing that her son was tongue-tied, Aunt Zhou Ying immediately went up to Yang Feng and showered him with praise and congratulations.

Although Yang Feng is her nephew in terms of seniority.

But when she saw Yang Feng, the reserved attitude she and her husband Yang Qishu displayed made them seem more like juniors.

"Thank you for your kind words, Auntie..."

"Third Aunt, Third Uncle, please have a seat..."

Yang Feng felt a little uncomfortable seeing his third uncle's family so humble in front of him, so he quickly asked them to sit down.

Then the whole family sat around a table, eating and chatting.

During the conversation, Yang Feng inquired about his cousin Yang Yu's situation over the past two years.

In the past two years, Yang Feng has been away making his way in the world and has not had time to learn how to draw first-grade high-quality talismans. Therefore, he has stopped asking his cousin Yang Yu to collect first-grade high-quality talisman-making materials for him.

In addition, he has been staying in Tianlan Immortal City for the past two years and has had little contact with his third uncle's family.

Therefore, he was not very familiar with his cousin's personal situation over the past two years.

After inquiring, Yang Feng learned that Yang Yu was now working at a logistics company.

Speaking of which, his cousin Yang Yu is already over forty years old this year.

However, lacking any special skills, he currently works outside and earns only five or six thousand spirit coins a month. After deducting daily expenses, this salary is not enough to support his daily cultivation.

So to this day, his cousin, like him, is still unmarried.

However, compared to a few years ago, his cousin's cultivation level has improved a lot, and he has now reached the sixth level of Qi Refining.

This surprised Yang Feng somewhat.

He wondered if his cousin had been spurred on by him, which was why he had become more diligent in his cultivation over the past few years.
So when my cousin's family said goodbye after the meal...

Yang Feng recalled how his cousin had done a good job collecting first-grade high-quality talisman-making materials for him.

In addition, his grandparents had asked Yang Feng to help Yang Yu out during dinner, so they gave Yang Yu a Breakthrough Pill.

Let Yang Yu work hard and strive to break through to the late stage of Qi Refining as soon as possible. Then he can find a job and earn a much higher income.

Even if the other party is willing...

Yang Feng could arrange a job for him at Tianhe Taoist Temple.

As a Foundation Establishment Realm teacher at Tianhe Dao Academy, it wasn't difficult for Yang Feng to arrange a logistics job for him.

After seeing off his cousin's family...

The next day, Yang Feng's uncle and aunt, as well as his cousin Liao Xianwei, his sister-in-law, and his nephew's family, also came to offer their congratulations with valuable gifts.

When his uncle's family came to offer their congratulations, they learned that Yang Feng was cultivating, so they did not disturb him.

It wasn't until lunchtime, when Yang Feng came downstairs, that his uncle's family all stood up to congratulate him.

During the meal, Yang Feng learned that his cousin Liao Xianwei had now reached the ninth level of Qi Refining perfection, and that his spiritual and physical cultivation had also met the requirements for breaking through to Foundation Establishment.

Unfortunately, lacking a strong network of connections, even with considerable savings, he couldn't afford the Foundation Establishment Pill, so he wanted to ask Yang Feng for help.

See if we can help him buy a Foundation Establishment Pill in Yang Feng's name.

Upon learning of his cousin's needs, Yang Feng realized that with his current Foundation Establishment realm status and authority, he indeed had a quota for purchasing Foundation Establishment Pills.

Yang Feng thought that his cousin's family and his family had always had a fairly good relationship over the years.

So he didn't refuse and agreed to help his cousin buy a Foundation Building Pill.

……

After that, more and more relatives came to congratulate him and asked Yang Feng for help.

However, Yang Feng didn't even show his face to the relatives with whom he had only a casual relationship who came to offer their congratulations. Instead, he had his parents send them away under the pretext that he was in seclusion for cultivation. During this time, Yang Feng also visited his teacher, Xu Wenqing, at his home.

Yang Feng was quite grateful to Xu Wenqing. In the past few years, he was able to make such rapid progress in talisman making, which was inseparable from Xu Wenqing's careful guidance every week.

Xu Wenqing was very excited to see Yang Feng return with valuable gifts.

He then had his wife brew Yang Feng a pot of second-tier spiritual tea, which he himself was usually reluctant to drink, and invited Yang Feng to drink it. She also pulled Yang Feng aside and asked him many questions.

For example, has Yang Feng encountered any dangers during his two years of exploration in the Tianlan Secret Realm?

And in the past two years, has Yang Feng still found time to learn talismans?

There's also the question of what Yang Feng's future plans are now that his cultivation has broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Yang Feng answered each question one by one.

He could sense that his teacher, Xu Wenqing, was paying more attention to him than before, so he chatted with his teacher for a long time until it was almost noon before Yang Feng got up to say goodbye.

"Xiaofeng, it's been two years. You have to stay and have a meal before you leave."

Xu Wenqing insisted that Yang Feng stay for dinner, and even brought out the second-tier spirit wine that his son Xu Yonghui had bought for him, which he usually couldn't bear to drink, to treat Yang Feng.

Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Yang Feng had no choice but to have dinner at his teacher's house before saying goodbye and leaving.

Afterwards, when Xu Wenqing's children learned that Yang Feng had returned, they all brought gifts to Yang Feng's home to offer their congratulations.

When Xu Wenqing's children learned that Yang Feng had successfully established his foundation, they could hardly believe it.

Xu Yonghui, in particular, personally experienced two attempts to reach the Foundation Establishment stage.

He understood better than anyone else how difficult it was to successfully establish a foundation on the first try.

Xu Yonghui was particularly struck by Yang Feng's exceptional talent in talisman making.

Furthermore, since Yang Feng successfully established his foundation on his first attempt, his future growth potential is much higher than his. Therefore, even though he achieved foundation establishment two years earlier than Yang Feng, he still adopted a very humble attitude when he visited Yang Feng.

……

"Xiao Feng, a Foundation Establishment cultivator has come to visit downstairs."

As news of Yang Feng's return gradually spread, that morning, Yang Feng was practicing magic in his magic practice room on the third floor of his house when he heard his mother's voice coming from outside the door.

He was slightly surprised, then stopped cultivating and used his divine sense to look at the reception room on the first floor.

There in the living room was Xue Yan, the president of the Talisman Makers Guild, and a middle-aged man who looked six or seven parts similar to the president.

"I heard that Guild Master Xue Yan had a son whose cultivation had reached the Foundation Establishment Realm. Could this be him?"

Yang Feng's gaze fell on the middle-aged man, and he could faintly feel the pressure of the Foundation Establishment Realm from the man. He murmured to himself.

Yang Feng then went to the first-floor reception room and politely exchanged pleasantries with the chairman.

Through the introduction, Yang Feng learned that the middle-aged man who came with Xue Yan was indeed Xue Yan's son, named Xue Hai.

"Brother Yang, congratulations on successfully establishing your foundation."

"I apologize for my intrusion in visiting you. This is just a small token of my appreciation, and I hope you will accept it."

“Some time ago, I saw the news that you had successfully established your foundation. My father said he knew you and that you had a very high talent in talisman making, so he thought of coming to visit and get to know you.”

Xue Hai gave a brief self-introduction, then took out a can of second-tier spiritual tea from his storage ring and handed it to Yang Feng politely.

"Brother Xue, you're too kind. I've long heard of your outstanding achievements. I've heard that you're a minister in our Yunshi Immortal City, but unfortunately, I haven't had the chance to get to know you before."

Yang Feng did not refuse the congratulatory gift from Xue Hai. He politely exchanged compliments with Xue Hai, and then led the two to sit down and start chatting.

Through casual conversation, Yang Feng learned that Xue Hai was seventy-nine years old this year and had broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm more than twenty years ago. He was currently serving as the deputy director of the Supervision Department in Yunshi Immortal City.

Although his position wasn't high, in a second-tier immortal city like Yunshi Immortal City, he was considered a significant figure.

"Brother Yang, are you planning to develop your career in Tianlan Immortal City from now on? You're not going back to Yunshi Immortal City?"

"Several departments in our Cloud Stone Immortal City are currently recruiting Foundation Establishment cultivators, and the compensation is quite good, much better than being a teacher in a second-level Dao Academy."

Xue Hai learned from Yang Feng that after successfully establishing his foundation, Yang Feng had become a teacher at a level-two Dao Academy in Tianlan Immortal City.

This surprised and disappointed him.

Originally, in addition to wanting to get to know Yang Feng, he also planned to recommend Yang Feng to join a government department in their Yunshi Immortal City.

Unexpectedly, Yang Feng did not intend to develop in Yunshi Immortal City, which caused his plan to fall through, so he tried to persuade him.

"Well, I've only just broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, and I still lack abilities in various aspects, so I plan to work as a teacher at the Dao Academy for a few years to hone my skills..."

Yang Feng chatted with Xue Hai for a while and could tell that Xue Hai wanted to recommend him to join the Yunshi Immortal City government. However, Yang Feng had his own ideas, so he simply explained them to Xue Hai.

"That's true."

"Although the treatment and benefits of being a teacher at the Taoist academy are not as good as those of working in a government department, it is also relatively easier."

"With Brother Yang's talent for talisman making, if he uses his spare time to hone his skills for a few years, he might become a second-tier talisman maker."

When Xue Hai heard that Yang Feng had been a teacher at the Tianhe Dao Academy for more than two months, he remembered his father saying that Yang Feng had a very high talent in talisman making. He thought that Yang Feng wanted to find a leisurely job to improve his talisman making skills.

He didn't try to persuade him any further, but nodded in agreement with Yang Feng's choice.

Afterwards, the two chatted for a while longer until it was almost noon, when Xue Hai and Xue Yan got up to say goodbye.

Before leaving, Xue Hai added Yang Feng's contact information and patted Yang Feng's chest, saying, "Brother Yang, if you encounter any problems you can't solve in Yunshi Immortal City, feel free to contact me anytime. As long as I can help you, I will definitely not refuse."

"it is good."

Upon hearing this, Yang Feng nodded. Seeing that Xue Hai intended to befriend him, he had originally planned to invite Xue Hai and Chairman Xue Yan to have lunch together.

However, Xue Hai did not want to cause trouble for his family, and after several unsuccessful attempts to persuade them to stay, Yang Feng did not insist any further and personally saw the two of them out the door.

Yang Feng could understand why Xue Hai took the initiative to come and congratulate him, wanting to befriend him.

After all, Xue Hai, like Xu Yonghui, also achieved Foundation Establishment through the Second Foundation Establishment Method, but the other party is now almost eighty years old and his cultivation is still stuck at the early stage of Foundation Establishment...

Given the other person's talent, it will probably be very difficult for them to break through to the mid-stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm in this lifetime.

Yang Feng successfully established his foundation at the age of forty-nine, and did so on his first attempt. In addition, Yang Feng had an extremely high talent in talisman making. Therefore, in Xue Hai's view, Yang Feng's future growth potential was definitely much higher than his.

Therefore, Xue Hai wanted to befriend him so that when he grew up, Xue Hai would have a stronger network of connections than he did.

Of course, Yang Feng did not object to Xue Hai's actions.

After all, Yang Feng's parents have lived in Yunshi Immortal City for many years. If he makes friends with someone who works in the Yunshi Immortal City government, he can have a connection to help his parents solve their problems if they encounter difficulties while he is away from home.
