Cultivating Immortality in a Family: I Prove Immortality Through the Chaotic Dao Realm

Chapter 133 The Beast Taming Sect's Huge Prize! The Secret of Foundation Establishment!
If the families found out about the women's situation, it would shock countless people.

However, to be on the safe side, this must be kept strictly confidential.

Unless the family faces a life-or-death crisis, their cultivation levels will not be revealed for some time.

The cultivation session came to an end, and the women awoke one after another.

When they opened their eyes, they saw their husbands (young masters) smiling at them, and they cheered happily, crowding around Chen Qiancheng.

The scene of Chen Qian disappearing in a single step was still vivid in their minds, and the women were naturally very curious. They surrounded him and asked him all sorts of questions.

Laughter and cheerful voices immediately broke the silence of Xuanzhu Villa, bringing the entire courtyard to life.

By this time, everyone had been in the Primordial Life Wheel Realm for several days. Even if the flow of time was different, Lake Light Residence had been unattended for at least a day.

Chen Qian dared not linger there any longer. With a wave of his hand, he led the women out of the Primordial Life Wheel Realm and back to the quiet room in the backyard of Lakeview Residence.

Upon exiting the quiet room, Chen Qian discovered a communication talisman hovering above Lakeview Residence.

With a wave of his hand, he took down the communication talisman, which spontaneously combusted without fire, and the message was transmitted to Chen Qian's sea of ​​consciousness.

"Husband, what urgent matter is it?" Chen Yunxi asked with a puzzled look in her eyes.

Chen Qian gently held his wife's hand and said softly, "It's nothing. The Ancestor summoned me, so I'll be right back."

Outside the Lakeside Residence, there is also a protective array, with spiritual light flowing around, isolating the inside from the outside.

Unless Senior Flame Feather forcibly pries in, if no one answers the door when you knock, you'll have to send a message talisman.

If there is any emergency, Chen Qian will definitely receive a notification from Senior Yan Ling as soon as he leaves the Primordial Life Wheel Realm.

"Is the reason why the Ancestor is seeking me out now that the Kidney-Strengthening Pill is complete?"

Chen Qian pondered to himself, but then thought, "Wait a minute, the ancestor said just a few days ago that he needed to further study the pill formula, how could it be so fast?"

It's only a few steps to Fengming Mountain, so there's no need to overthink it; just go and pay your respects.

Without further ado, Chen Qian explained the situation to his wives and then headed out to the top of Fengming Mountain.

The aroma of tea wafts from the ancestral cave.

Chen Ruiang sat upright at the table, dressed in a green robe and jade crown, looking relaxed. When he saw Chen Qian arrive, he smiled and beckoned, "Come, have a cup of spiritual tea first."

Chen Qian didn't stand on ceremony and took his seat without any hesitation.

The old patriarch treated him like a close friend despite the age difference, so he naturally reciprocated.

The aroma of tea filled the air, creating a peaceful atmosphere as an old man and a young man sat facing each other, drinking tea.

After taking a sip of tea, the patriarch lightly tapped the table with his fingertips, a glint of light flashing in his eyes: "I summoned you this time to inform you of the reward the Beast Taming Sect will give for the Soul Devouring Hall's stronghold."

"Oh?" Chen Qian raised an eyebrow, curious. "I wonder what kind of reward could make the Ancestor so overjoyed that he personally told him?"

The old ancestor stroked his beard and smiled, unable to hide his joy: "One Foundation Establishment quota, and the tribute for twenty years will be halved!"

"What?!" Chen Qian's teacup paused, the tea rippled slightly. "Such a grand gesture?!"

The Foundation Establishment quota means that the Beast Taming Sect will provide a full set of Foundation Establishment resources and send high-level cultivators to protect the sect, almost guaranteeing one person to enter the Foundation Establishment realm!
The reduction of tribute by half over twenty years is a real resource bonus, enough to make the Chen family's wealth increase dramatically!

Seeing Chen Qian's surprise, the patriarch smiled and said, "Master Luo moved the entire insect breeding room back to the sect, complete with insect eggs and larvae. This will allow the Beast Taming Sect to make a big step forward in its research on the Soul-Devouring Insects, which is why he is so generous with his reward."

Mr. Chen is over a hundred years old and has experienced countless ups and downs in his life, but he still couldn't hide his excitement when talking about this award.

With such a reward, the family only needs to select suitable personnel, and advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage is almost a certainty.

"Hehe~ This time, the Beast Taming Sect has indeed lived up to the grandeur of the upper sect."

Old Master Chen stroked his beard and smiled, shaking his head and looking extremely pleased with himself.

No wonder he was happy. For decades, no one in the Chen family had been able to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, and he had been supporting the family on his own for far too long.

I dare not go anywhere, I dare not even die, and I have to be timid and hesitant in everything I do.

All the older generation in the family who were at the peak of Qi Refining had tried to break through to the Foundation Establishment realm at least once, but unfortunately all of them failed.

It's easy to imagine the immense pressure he's faced as the patriarch over the years.

I'm terrified that one day I might accidentally perish in the wilderness.

Losing one's life is not the worst thing; failing to cultivate a second Foundation Establishment cultivator would make one a sinner to the family.

In recent years, by some stroke of luck, the family has finally produced two promising talents, Chen Yunyi and Chen Yunzheng, but they still lack time to grow.

The one with the best chance of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage in the family right now is the Ninth Elder, Chen Hongbing, who has been stationed in Wanling City for a long time.

The family had originally planned to recall him to Phoenix Forest Valley soon and use the Foundation Establishment Pills they had just acquired to help him attempt a breakthrough.

Now things are much better. Not only can we save the Foundation Establishment Pill, but we don't even need to come back.

After discussing the rewards from the Beast Taming Sect, the patriarch changed the subject, his expression solemn, and asked, "Yun Qian, how much do you know about the Foundation Establishment realm?"

Chen Qian sat up straight and said, "I only know a little bit about it, please enlighten me, Master."

Chen Qian understood that Foundation Establishment was a crucial stage in cultivation, and no matter how much one learned about it from other sources, it was never as good as someone who had personally experienced this stage.

"Alright!" Old Master Chen tapped his fingers on the table, nodded and smiled, "Don't think I'm being a nag, I'll tell you what I have to say."

Chen Qian listened attentively with a respectful expression.

Old Master Chen nodded, his expression solemn and serious, and began to speak in a detailed and detailed manner:

"After cultivating to the peak of Qi Refining, and refining one's physique, soul, and magic power to the point where there is no further progress and everything is in perfect harmony, one can then attempt to break through to Foundation Establishment."

"The key to Foundation Establishment lies in building a foundation for the Dao. This is not only the origin of the name of this great realm, but also the true foundation for a cultivator to achieve the Dao."

"Based on the specifications and quality of the foundation, the foundation can be divided into five levels: incomplete, complete, flawless, spiritual, and perfect."

"The perfect Dao Foundation only exists in legends; at least in the history of the Li Kingdom, there has never been a cultivator who has achieved it."

Old Master Chen took a sip of tea and said quietly.

It's clear that he also yearns for this legendary realm.

Chen Qian nodded in agreement. Cultivators are a group of people who are unwilling to admit defeat, who want to defy fate and fight against destiny, so they naturally pursue higher and stronger realms.

"The foundation-building process can be summarized as: the soul and spirit giving rise to two poles, the magical power condensing into liquid bricks, and building without ceasing for a hundred days, until the Great Dao can finally be achieved!"

"That's why there's the saying about building a foundation in a hundred days."

"But this process is also extremely dangerous. If it is interrupted, it can lead to backlash at best, and death at worst!"

"The reason why Foundation Establishment Pills are so precious and essential for breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage is because they can nourish the soul, protect the meridians, and provide spiritual energy."

"Even if a Foundation Establishment Pill is swallowed, it will at least keep a person safe."

Old Master Chen's tone was neither hurried nor slow, and Chen Qian listened attentively, carefully comprehending the entire process.

In summary, the five grades of Dao Foundation are:

1. Incomplete Foundation: The basic structure of the foundation has been completed, but the 999 liquid bricks cannot be used. This is the lowest level of foundation building, and the path is difficult to advance.
II. Complete Dao Foundation: The Dao foundation is constructed using 999 liquid bricks, and is well-proportioned, with the potential to form a core.
3. Flawless Dao Foundation: On the basis of a complete Dao foundation, four Dao pillars are built, each pillar requiring one hundred liquid bricks; 4. Spiritual Dao Foundation: Cultivation techniques and secret arts are inscribed on the foundation wall of the Dao foundation, making the Dao foundation profound and invincible among those of the same level;

Fifth, the perfect foundation of the Dao: It exists only in legends and is not known in the Li Kingdom. Even Ancestor Chen did not know the specifics, having only seen related descriptions in some ancient texts, but they were all vague.

When the topic of the flawless Dao foundation came up, the patriarch's eyes already showed longing.

When the topic of spiritual foundations came up, he shook his head and sighed, wondering how much talent one would need to achieve it.

As for the perfect Dao Foundation realm, it's something I wouldn't even dare to dream of, and I have no idea what the specifics are.

Finally, with a long sigh from Elder Chen, this session of preaching and answering questions came to an end.

Through this exchange, Chen Qian gained a clear understanding of the entire Foundation Establishment process, which also helped him clarify his cultivation path.

Whether it's daily cultivation, combat, or breaking through realms, a cultivator's soul is of paramount importance.

To break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, one must first solidify one's soul to a tangible form, no longer like drifting mist or ethereal illusion.

Only on this basis can one gradually cultivate two arms on either side of the soul.

Then, by refining and increasing the strength of his arms, he was able to move the liquid bricks and build the foundation of the Dao.

Chen Qian planned to achieve this goal before reaching the ninth level of Qi Refining.

His soul has now solidified to the point of being almost tangible, making it more solid and stronger than many peak Qi Refining cultivators.

What he lacks is time; he hasn't specifically focused on cultivating his soul.

After the conversation ended, Chen Qian got up to take his leave, and the patriarch escorted him to the outside of the cave.

Finally, he said to Chen Qian, "Yun Qian, I will be setting off for Wanling City soon to hand over the reward matters with the Beast Taming Sect."

"Besides waiting for Hongbing to advance smoothly, I will purchase Refined Gold Spirit Fruit and Frostfire Spirit Liquid for you in Wanling City, and ask a second-level alchemy master to refine a Kidney-Strengthening Pill for you."

Old Ancestor Chen shook his head and smiled wryly, "After all, I really don't have much confidence in this kind of cold-attribute spiritual medicine."

"It's safer to keep our skills hidden, so as not to waste materials."

Chen Qian was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.

Old Master Chen patted his shoulder gently and said with a smile, "Consider these things as a reward for you this time. Compared to the contributions you have made, these things are far from enough."

"What are you saying, Ancestor? As a member of the Chen family, this is what I should do," Chen Qian replied humbly.

A mountain breeze swept by, causing the old ancestor's robes to flutter, his eyes filled with anticipation: "On the day you establish your foundation, I will personally protect you!"

........................

Several days later, Old Ancestor Chen quietly left Phoenix Forest Valley and set off for Wanling City.

Chen Qian also postponed his plan to go to Qingye Mountain Market, and instead stayed at home to hone his supernatural abilities, cultivate his magical power, and improve his skills.

After all, he had only just deduced the five great supernatural powers and secret techniques of the Five Elements Primordial Chaos Technique, and at present he could only be considered to have a preliminary grasp of them. He was still far from being able to use them skillfully and at will.

Furthermore, if he can successfully obtain those resources when the ancestor returns, not only will the Golden Bean be able to advance to the second tier, but he can also master the Five Elements Reincarnation Technique, resulting in a qualitative leap in his overall strength.

Not to mention Xiao Yin, who will also quickly reach the Ghost General realm once she finishes her seclusion.

Therefore, under these circumstances, it's better to stay still than to take any action; it's best to stay home and focus on your spiritual practice.

Time flows like water, leaving no trace, and a month or so has passed in a flash.

In the waterside pavilion on the west side of Lakeview Residence.

Chen Qian was holding a roll of animal skin paper, intently studying it.

Not far away, Chen Yunxi was calmly strumming the strings of the zither, occasionally glancing up to cast a loving glance at Chen Qian.

Ji Xue sat to one side of Yun Xi, playing the flute in response, and occasionally casting admiring glances at her young master.

As Chen Yunxi's pregnancy progressed, she became increasingly plump, exuding a charming young woman's aura, which made Chen Qian even more enamored with her.

At this moment, her cultivation level had reached the second level of Qi Refining, and her aura had not yet been fully contained, indicating that she had just broken through not long ago.

With the blessing of the Heavenly Melody Score, the sound of the zither transformed into a pair of soft, gentle hands, soothing Chen Qian's soul. It not only made him feel comfortable but also slightly enhanced his comprehension.

Therefore, when Chen Qian was studying magic and practicing his skills, he always liked to summon Yun Xi and have her play the zither beside him.

In this way, he can improve his cultivation efficiency without delaying Yunxi's cultivation, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

The zither in Chen Yunxi's hand was seized from the storage bag of the alluring young woman in black from the Soul Devouring Palace.

There were many resources in the storage bag, but only this top-grade magic artifact, the Yaoqin, caught my eye and was perfect for Yunxi to use.

Such magical artifacts are rare, and generally, most of them need to be crafted by oneself. This time, he was lucky enough to acquire one, which saved Chen Qian a lot of effort.

As long as Chen Qian was at home, the women's cultivation mostly took place in the Primordial Life Wheel Realm.

So it may seem that only a month or so has passed, but in reality, the women have been cultivating for three months.

Their cultivation levels are all increasing rapidly, and in just a few days, there may be another wave of advancements among the women.

Excellent aptitude, compatible cultivation techniques, aided by elixirs, blessed land...

With such an extreme cultivation setup, it would be strange if one's cultivation level didn't advance by leaps and bounds.

Even Chen Qian, who devoted most of his energy to comprehending spells and practicing skills, had already reached the peak of the seventh level and was about to advance.

It should be understood that even with a superior spiritual root, once one reaches the late stage of Qi Refining, each breakthrough in a minor realm takes years.

The animal hide in Chen Qian's hand came from a storage bag found inside the Insect Breeding Stone Chamber. It was one of three animal hides and contained a secret technique for guiding the soul—the Soul Guiding Technique.

The other two volumes record the techniques of soul control and soul piercing.

These three divine soul techniques are specifically used to command and control the Soul-Eating Insects.

The Soul-Guiding Technique is used to stimulate the growth and development of Soul-Devouring Larvae;
The Soul Control Technique is used to control the Soul-Eating Insects to possess and invade the cultivator's soul;

The Soul Piercing Technique can be used to punish disobedient Soul-Eating Insects.

This can be described as a three-pronged approach to managing the Soul-Eating Insects.

However, these are all means of applying the spiritual cultivation technique, not the technique itself, so Chen Qian found it extremely difficult to comprehend.

Even if you include the time spent cultivating in the Primordial Life Wheel Realm, which has taken several months to comprehend, Chen Qian still cannot master these secret techniques.

As for the Soul-Devouring Insect Eggs and Larvae, their existence is extremely strange. Their bodies exist in a state between half-illusion and half-real, and are not entirely composed of flesh and blood.

Chen Qian couldn't understand it, so he simply handed it over to the Primordial Life Wheel Realm for analysis.

However, no results have been forthcoming, possibly because the Primordial Life Wheel Realm has accumulated too little in terms of the rules of the Soul Path.

It requires a large amount of resources to supply and a long time to evolve.
