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

Chapter 123 Grandpa's Time is Approaching, Sister Repays with a Generous Gift (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

That day, after Yang Feng finished practicing his magic, he saw that his father had made two phone calls to him.

So he called his father back.

"Dad, what's the matter?"

Yang Feng asked as the call connected.

“Xiaofeng, your grandfather’s health has been deteriorating lately. The doctor said that with his current condition, he has at most six months to live.”

“Your grandfather said he misses you. He’s been talking about you, Ningning, and Yang Yu a lot lately. If you can get some time off, come back with Yang Yu and the others to see your grandfather and spend his final days with him.”

On the other end of the phone, Yang Qilin spoke directly.

"Okay, I'll discuss it with the Taoist academy, and once I get leave, I'll head back."

Upon hearing this, Yang Feng calmly nodded.

Yang Feng had been aware of his grandfather's health condition for the past few years.

Although his grandfather is only 134 years old this year.

Given his grandfather's cultivation level, and considering that Yang Feng had given his grandparents a longevity fruit a few years ago, theoretically his grandfather could live to around 140 years old.

But this is only a theoretical lifespan.

In reality, how long a monk can live is influenced by many factors.

For example, some cultivators suffered injuries in their youth, which damaged their physical foundation.

Or perhaps they don't cherish their bodies, are overly indulgent, or even inhale harmful substances like tobacco and alcohol for extended periods.

Furthermore, if a cultivator's cultivation level declines significantly in old age, or if the spiritual vein environment they are in is poor, or if they frequently engage in heavy labor in their old age, all of these factors can lead to a shortened lifespan for the cultivator.

Even Yang Feng, when he transmigrated, had an actual lifespan displayed on the system panel that was two years shorter than his theoretical lifespan.

This was based on the fact that Yang Feng was relatively young at the time, had no bad habits, and had not been injured.

As for Yang Feng's grandfather, although in the last one or two decades, because Yang Feng has become successful, the family's living conditions have improved and they have been living quite comfortably.

But in the previous hundred years, he had suffered a lot in order to cultivate and raise his children.

In addition, his grandfather also had bad habits of smoking and drinking, and for more than a hundred years before that, he did not take good care of his health.

Therefore, it is normal that his grandfather's actual lifespan was only around 134 years.

So, after hanging up the phone, Yang Feng bought some gifts and asked the vice president of the Taoist academy for a year-long leave.

The leaders of the academy, seeing that the gift Yang Feng gave was of considerable value, and considering that Yang Feng had made rapid progress in his cultivation over the years while teaching at the academy and had considerable potential for future growth, and also that he was a second-tier low-grade talisman master, did not make things difficult for Yang Feng.

They readily granted Yang Feng a year-long leave.

At the same time, Yang Feng's cousin, Yang Yu, also received a call from his father, Yang Qishu. Afterwards, he took some time off and prepared to bring his wife and children to visit his grandfather with Yang Feng.

"Big brother!"

"uncle……"

That day, Yang Feng and Yang Yu agreed to return to Yunshi Immortal City together.

The two met at the long-distance airship passenger station in Tianlan Immortal City.

Yang Yu, accompanied by his entire family of six, greeted Yang Feng respectfully upon seeing him.

Since Yang Yu followed Yang Feng to Tianlan Immortal City to develop his career, he has not only become an instructor at a comprehensive training center in Tianlan Immortal City, but also opened a talisman shop in Tianlan Immortal City in the past few years, thanks to Yang Feng's connections. His life has been getting better and better.

In just a few years, he not only married two wives but also had three children, the eldest of whom, a son, is already four years old this year.

The youngest is not even a year old.

However, his three children all had very ordinary innate spiritual roots, only of the lower grade.

This disappointed Yang Yu, who decided to have several more children in the future, until he had a child with a mid-grade spiritual root aptitude.

Then he would do everything in his power to see if he could ask his cousin Yang Feng for help in the future to train him into a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Of course, he didn't tell Yang Feng about this idea yet.

Yang Feng was quite happy to see Yang Yu's family, especially his nephews.

So when he heard Yang Yu's eldest son, Yang Jiexi, call him "uncle," he gave him a hug.

Afterwards, the group waited for a while in the VIP lounge of the passenger station before boarding a long-distance airship bound for Yunshi Immortal City.

As Tianlan Immortal City is quite far from Yunshi Immortal City, Yang Feng was worried about encountering unexpected events along the way. Therefore, even though Yang Feng's cultivation level has reached the third level of Foundation Establishment and he has the strength to deal with three or five late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, it is not difficult for him.

However, for safety reasons, he did not drive the magical flying car himself to take Yang Yu's family back.

…………

As Yang Feng's grandparents got old and missed their hometown, they moved back to Shuangyu Town in recent years.

Including Yang Feng's parents, in order to take care of Yang Feng's grandparents, they also moved to their hometown to live with his grandparents in recent years.

So Yang Feng and his family of six took a long-distance flying boat to Yunshi Immortal City, and then returned to their hometown, Shuangyu Town.

"Dad, Mom..."

"Uncle, Aunt..."

"grandparents……"

The group returned home, greeted their family members, and then went to the room where Grandpa Yang Qifu lived.

At that moment, his grandfather, Yang Qifu, was lying weakly in bed, his body so old and withered that he could not get out of bed.

"Xiaofeng, Xiaoyu is back..."

"Qilin, help me sit up."

Yang Qifu was overjoyed to see his two grandsons come back to visit him. He then forced himself to cheer up and asked Yang Qilin to help him sit up.

"I come……"

Upon hearing this, Yang Feng immediately stepped forward and gently helped his grandfather up from the bed.

He then used his magic to soothe his grandfather's body, making him feel much better and even able to get out of bed and walk around.

"Alas, this body is already exhausted and has only four or five months left to live."

While nurturing his grandfather's body, Yang Feng also gained a general understanding of his grandfather's remaining lifespan based on his grandfather's physical condition.

Afterwards, the two families gathered around Yang Feng's grandparents, chatting about everyday life. The large family, spanning four generations, looked exceptionally warm and loving.

"Time flies by so fast."

"Without realizing it, I'm already 58 years old this year..."

Looking at his grandparents, parents, and his third uncle and aunt, all of whom had aged, Yang Feng couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion.

a few days later.

Yang Ningning also rushed back.

"elder brother……"

"Dad, Mom..."

That noon, Yang Ningning drove her magical flying car and landed in the courtyard of Yang Feng's old home. Seeing Yang Feng and his parents come out to greet her, she quickly got out of the flying car and greeted the three of them.

Since Yang Ningning broke through to the Foundation Establishment Realm and went to the Holy Immortal Academy in the capital to cultivate, she has not returned home for the past few years, except for calling her family every now and then.

"Little sister, is that alright? When did your cultivation break through to the second level of Foundation Establishment?"

Yang Feng glanced at his younger sister and sensed that the magical power emanating from Yang Ningning had reached the second level of Foundation Establishment. He couldn't help but ask with a smile.

"Hehe, I just broke through not long ago."

"Compared to my brother, I'm far inferior."

"After four years apart, I knew your cultivation level must have improved again."

When Yang Ningning saw her brother Yang Feng, she also sensed his cultivation level and found that he had reached the third level of Foundation Establishment. She was not surprised and humbly greeted him.

"How have you been at the Holy Immortal Academy these past few years?"

Afterwards, the family went inside, and Yang Feng asked Yang Ningning about her situation at the Holy Immortal Academy.

Yang Ningning recounted that among the many Foundation Establishment cultivators at the Holy Immortal Academy, her performance in all aspects was still at the lower level.

No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't catch up with the disciples from families that were born into the True Core or Nascent Soul stages.

Moreover, the Holy Immortal Academy stipulates that only those who raise their cultivation in the three aspects of Dharma, Body, and Spirit to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment and the mid-stage of the second tier before the age of fifty will be cultivated by the Holy Immortal Academy as future Core Formation seeds.

After all, even if a Foundation Establishment cultivator wants to form a false core, they must at least raise their magic power to the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment realm and their soul and body cultivation to the late second stage before the age of 120.

To form a true core, one must raise one's magical power to the ninth level of Foundation Establishment before the age of 120, and also raise one's spiritual and physical cultivation to the second tier, ninth stage.

As for forming a Golden Core, one needs to raise one's cultivation in the three aspects of Dharma, Body, and Spirit to the ninth level of Foundation Establishment and the ninth stage of the second tier before the age of 120.

Yang Ningning, on the other hand, broke through to the second level of Foundation Establishment at the age of 35.

However, his cultivation in terms of spirit and body is currently still at the second stage, first level.

With such a slow cultivation speed, she wasn't very confident that she could raise her cultivation in terms of technique, body, and spirit to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage and the mid-second stage in fifteen years.

Upon hearing the rules of the Holy Immortal Academy, Yang Feng felt somewhat helpless in helping his younger sister.

Although he has received many rewards from the system over the years by drawing talismans and gaining experience, his own expenses are also high, and he simply cannot afford to spend extra money to help his sister.

"Brother, please accept this Xuanmu Pill."

"You've always been the one helping me, which gave me the opportunity to enter the Holy Immortal Academy."

"Now, thanks to your help, I, your younger sister, have become somewhat successful. It's time for me to repay you..."

After briefly recounting her experience at the Holy Immortal Academy, Yang Ningning took out a second-grade top-quality pill from her storage ring, which could enhance a cultivator's wood-attribute spiritual root aptitude, and gave it to Yang Feng.

"You're already struggling to make ends meet while cultivating at the Holy Immortal Academy, how come you're buying me such precious resources?"

When Yang Feng saw that his sister had bought him such an expensive gift when she came back this time, he felt warm inside, but at the same time, he couldn't help but scold her a little.

"Oh, I bought this especially for you, please accept it."

"At the Holy Immortal Academy, I can now support myself through my own abilities."

"Moreover, this Xuanmu Pill is not expensive to exchange for with credits in our Holy Immortal Academy."

Yang Ningning was scolded by Yang Feng, but she didn't care. Seeing that Yang Feng was unwilling to accept it, she had no choice but to forcefully stuff the Xuanmu Pill in her hand into Yang Feng's hand.

"Alright, since you've already bought it, I'll accept it this time."

"But from now on, don't buy me any more resources for cultivation."

"Even though you've gone to the Holy Immortal Academy, your brother can't help you right now."

"But your brother has more than enough money to support his cultivation with his talisman-making skills."

In recent years, Yang Feng has occasionally kept in touch with his sister. Yang Feng knows that his sister is at the Holy Immortal Academy and is purchasing valuable resources using a credit system developed by the Holy Immortal Academy itself.

Therefore, Yang Feng couldn't convert the Xuanmu Pill into spirit coins to return to his sister. So, after admonishing his sister, he accepted the pill.

Afterwards, Yang Feng took the Xuanmu Pill.

After his body had fully absorbed and digested the effects of the Xuanmu Pill, Yang Feng discovered that his wood-attribute spiritual root had only increased by three points.

The effect was half as bad as when I first took the Xuanmu Pill.

However, Yang Feng was not surprised by this.

After all, this second-tier top-grade Xuanmu Pill is only effective for cultivators whose spiritual root affinity is below fifty.

Prior to this, Yang Feng had already raised his wood-attribute spiritual root to wood 44. In the past three years, Yang Feng had obtained a second-tier high-grade treasure material from the system that could improve the aptitude of his wood-attribute spiritual root, raising it by two points.

At this point, Yang Feng's affinity for the wood elemental root has reached 47, which is only three points away from the standard of a superior wood elemental root.

As for the other attributes of the spiritual root.

Over the past three years, Yang Feng has used several high-grade second-tier materials obtained from the system to improve his spiritual root aptitude, as well as several pills purchased from the Xia Kingdom's resource department to improve his spiritual root aptitude.

To date, he has raised his Five Elements spiritual root aptitude to 47 for Wood, 42 for Fire, 40 for Water, 41 for Earth, and 40 for Metal.

As for other aspects, Yang Feng has also made tremendous progress in the past three years.

First of all, it is about cultivation.

After three years of arduous training, Yang Feng has now raised his Qi Refining cultivation to the third level of Foundation Establishment: 91/100 mana.

Yang Feng estimated that it would only take a few months at most for him to raise his cultivation to the peak of the third level of Foundation Establishment, and then break through the bottleneck of the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.

With his current five elemental spiritual roots all approaching the high-grade level, and Yang Feng having also mastered a spell to the proficiency level.

He believed that there would be no resistance whatsoever when he broke through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

As for his soul, after three years of cultivation and the consumption of rare and precious herbs to enhance his soul cultivation, Yang Feng's soul cultivation has now reached the second stage, third level: Spirit 77/100.

Yang Feng estimated that it would take no more than a year for his soul cultivation to break through to the mid-stage of the second tier.

As for his physique, after three years of cultivation and the consumption of rare and precious herbs to enhance his physique and blood, Yang Feng's physical cultivation has now reached the second stage, third level: blood and qi 75/100.

Yang Feng believed that he could also raise his physical cultivation to the mid-stage of the second tier within a year.
