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

Chapter 162 Wu Family Treasure Vault, Giant Stone Mirror, Evergreen True Man! Qi Refining Level Nine!
Shen Qianxue carries with her the Jade Sword True Lord's sensing talisman, which is of extremely high quality. It can not only make calls but also transmit images, almost reaching the level of instant communication.

Therefore, when Shen Qianxue came to the Beast Taming Sect as a guest, Master Fushan immediately seized the opportunity.

If you can get straight to the top, who would want to go through layers of procedures to pass your message up?

Activating the sensing talisman, a cyan light screen was immediately projected into the void.

A hazy figure appeared in the light screen. Although it was just an illusion, a faint pressure seemed to emanate from it, making it impossible to ignore.

"Xiaoxue, what's the matter?"

A clear, ethereal voice, as if from the heavens, drifted forth.

"Jade Ancestor, it is Senior Uncle Lin from the Beast Taming Sect who has something to ask of you."

"Oh?! That's unusual. What urgent matter requires you to come directly to me through Xiaoxue?"

The ethereal voice was quite surprised to hear Shen Qianxue's reply.

"You flatter me, Jade Sword True Lord." Lin Gengxin nodded his thanks to Shen Qianxue and replied respectfully.

"Speak!" Jade Sword True Monarch was hidden in the spiritual aura, making him difficult to see clearly.

All three could sense the calm and indifferent tone in Jade Sword True Monarch's voice.

This is normal. At least in the Li Kingdom, as one of only two Nascent Soul True Monarchs who have truly remained at the top for a long time, there are very few things that can move them.

Lin Gengxin sensed that a distant gaze was fixed on him, and even as a Core Formation Grandmaster, he immediately felt considerable pressure.

Fortunately, the matter was not complicated, and Lin Gengxin explained the situation in just a few words.

After listening to Lin Gengxin's account, Jade Sword True Lord remained silent for a long time.

Just as Lin Gengxin thought Jade Sword True Lord had no intention of helping and sensed something was wrong...

Master Yujian finally spoke, his tone slightly trembling, unlike his usual calm demeanor: "I agree to this matter. Inform me again when the specific date arrives. Remember! The sooner the better!"

The three of them were somewhat surprised, as if... this news had attracted the great attention of Jade Sword True Monarch.

Finally, they even emphasized that it was better to do it sooner rather than later.

Although the Beast Taming Sect has not produced a Nascent Soul cultivator for nearly two thousand years, it has still managed to do so in the past.

Moreover, the fourth-tier sacred beast, the Formless Listening Beast, has a long lifespan and is not on the same level as the Seven Star Sect and the Crimson Flame Sect, which have never had a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Normally, the Beast Taming Sect is located in the heart of the Li Kingdom, and no matter the reason, the Hidden Edge Pavilion would not stand idly by and allow chaos to occur.

For the entire Dragon Tail Domain, the Li Kingdom is just a small place, and the enemies of the Hidden Edge Pavilion will only be outside its territory.

However, the slight change in Jade Sword True Monarch's attitude made Grand Master Lin somewhat uneasy. He made up his mind to thoroughly check the sect's records later to see if there was any information that had been overlooked.

……

……

……

Chen Qian led his team back to Jinshiya safely, where Chen Yunyi and her team welcomed them. The sisters were overjoyed to see each other again.

A large group of people naturally needed to be properly accommodated. Fortunately, Jinshiya was large enough to accommodate several times more people, so arrangements were easy.

These people were originally here to manage this sacred land, which is also their new home. They all have a sense of ownership and are very proactive in quickly becoming familiar with and taking over the various affairs of the sacred land.

The entire Jinshi Cliff, having suffered no damage whatsoever, immediately presented a thriving scene.

Chen Qian's new home was arranged on the central stone peak, which was originally the main hall of the Wu family. It was not only beautiful but also very spacious.

The new Chen residence was named Qianlongju.

In addition to the original wives, concubines, maids, and sons, more than ten new maids were arranged in the mansion, and Liu Yan and her four daughters were all promoted to the level of stewards.

Normally, they not only had to serve their masters closely, but also had to take care of many internal affairs at Jinshi Cliff. Chen Qian was intentionally training them and broadening their horizons.

Fortunately, they manage a lot of people under them, and many things only require a clear idea and the ability to handle them. Once the order is given, someone will naturally run the errand.

The Chen family now numbers less than two hundred people in Jinshiya, most of whom are family members. However, the Wu family has left behind many spirit farmers and laborers, so there is no shortage of manpower.

In a little longer, the family will bring in more people from places like Fenglin City, and then they can get rid of many of the people who are not easy to use.

These matters are naturally handled by the two sisters, Chen Yunxi and Chen Yunyi, so Chen Qian doesn't need to worry about them.

After settling the personnel and supplies, Chen Qian finally had time to investigate the Wu family's treasury.

She was accompanied by Fengyin, the little housekeeper.

Chen Qian instructed the other women in the family that, in addition to their daily duties, they should spend their free time organizing various collections in the Wu family's library. If they had the energy and interest, they should study them more. As long as they gained something, it could be transformed into the foundation of the Destiny Wheel Realm.

Chen Qian originally came with the intention of opening blind boxes and making a fortune, but reality greatly disappointed him.

The Wu family's treasure vault contained only tens of thousands of low-grade spirit stones, some first-tier resources, and a few low-grade spirit artifacts.

What he didn't know was that Wu Yi had already consumed a lot of resources to advance to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.

In order to preserve the family bloodline, several family elites were sent away recently, and a lot of supplies were taken away, leaving even fewer resources left.

"Young master, the Wu family is extremely poor," Fengyin said with some disdain.

Tens of thousands of spirit stones would be considered a fortune for any one person.

But this is the treasure trove of a Foundation Establishment family, and it's really not enough to just have this little bit.

Chen Qian shook his head without saying anything. He had also realized what was going on and had some guesses.

The Wu family hasn't produced a Foundation Establishment cultivator in hundreds of years, so it's normal that they lack family foundation.

However, the source of the spirit-finding talisman that the Wu family produced a few months ago is unknown.

The Wu family's top brass were mostly wiped out at Qingye Mountain. The situation was tense at the time, and Wu Yiqian died in the inner workshop, leaving no opportunity for interrogation or forced confession.

Chen Qian pondered silently as he slowly walked deeper into the treasure vault, arriving before a giant stone mirror that was at least three zhang tall.

If we're talking about the most unusual item in the treasure vault, this mirror is undoubtedly the one.

This thing was as tall as five or six people, with a smooth surface, and was surrounded by a ring of dark rocks. I don't know what kind of spiritual ore it was.

Chen Qian instinctively felt that this was a treasure, but even after observing and touching it from all angles, he couldn't figure out what it was.

Chen Qian placed his hand on the stone mirror and channeled his magic power into it. He felt a tremor in his heart. This mirror had actually been refined by Bu?!

The remaining magical power inside the mirror should have been left by Wu Yiqian. Chen Qian had just fought with him and quickly realized it.

However, although his magical power is strong and profound, it is only effective against Qi Refining cultivators.

The gaseous magic power at the Qi Refining level is completely useless; only the liquid magic power in the center of the dantian can gradually wear down the remaining magic power of Wu Yiqian.

First, he needed to disperse Wu Yiqian's magical power, and then begin to refine this treasure. For Chen Qian at present, this was indeed a huge undertaking.

Since this thing isn't going to run away anyway, Chen Qian thought about it and decided to give up for now.

We'll deal with it after the foundation is laid.

This thing must be an extraordinary treasure.

However, this item was too huge and heavy, no wonder Wu Yiqian couldn't take it with him.

As for Chen Qian now, although he has the strength of nearly 10,000 jin, he cannot lift it, let alone even shake it slightly.

Not to mention sending it into the Wheel of Fate.

Since the materials used to make this mirror have never been obtained, the Destiny Wheel Realm has been unable to determine the function of this treasure.

Forget it, the priority now is to accumulate magical power and break through to a higher realm, so I won't waste my magical power on it for now.

Then, Chen Qian took out the storage bags of Mo Yunzi and Lu Zhengting and took out all the items inside.

A huge pile of things suddenly filled a large open space. "Wow! So much stuff!" Fengyin, who was organizing the treasure vault's supplies, was dazzled by the dazzling array of items.

"Hehe, these are the spoils of war from the two Foundation Establishment cultivators I killed," Chen Qian said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Fengyin's eyes immediately welled up with hearts.

"Young Master?! You're capable of killing Foundation Establishment cultivators?"

Feng Yin was only at the third level of Qi Refining, so she couldn't imagine how powerful a Foundation Establishment cultivator would be, but she knew that this was a powerful person far beyond the Qi Refining stage.

How could someone kill his own young master, and even kill two of them?

Amazing!
Chen Qian pinched the little maid's cheek and smiled without saying a word.

Next, it's time to happily check our gains.

After some sorting and organizing, a rough outline was quickly cleared up.

Tens of thousands of spirit stones, a small portion of which are of medium grade;

Several first-order and second-order resources of various colors;
A few Demon Marrow Diamonds can be added to the Nine Nether Array Plate.

Chen Qian had only a few spiritual artifacts and demonic artifacts, which he did not intend to use after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage. Instead, he planned to throw them into the Chaos Pool to extract specific materials and then use them to forge spiritual artifacts that suited him in the future.

There wasn't much else that caught Chen Qian's eye, except for three treasures that brought him joy.

The first item is a fine Foundation Building Pill, obtained from Lu Zhengting.

The Chen family is not short of Foundation Establishment Pills now. In addition to the one they already had, Old Ancestor Chen also purchased one in Wanling City and obtained two more from the Lu family's treasure vault in Hexian Ridge.

But no family would complain about having too much of this strategic resource, and Chen Qian was no exception.

The two treasures were obtained from Mo Yunzi, and it was another Luo Tian token. It looked similar to the one obtained from the Blood Demon Sect demon cultivator at Bi Cui Lake, but the color was different.

Chen Qian had a gut feeling that this token was not simple.

It seems... to be part of a series?!
I wonder how many colors there are? And what is their purpose?

There is not enough information at the moment, so it is impossible to make a judgment.

We can only put it away for now, and deal with it later when our cultivation level is higher and we have more information.

The third item was a roll of animal hide obtained from Lu Zhengting's storage bag.

It records the location of what appears to be a cave dwelling of a real person.

This cave dwelling is located in the wilderness outside the Li Kingdom, a territory teeming with dangerous monsters.

According to the intelligence gathered by Lu Zhengting, it is highly likely to be the cave dwelling of the renowned Core Formation cultivator in the history of the Li Kingdom—Changqing Zhenren.

Master Changqing possesses a top-grade wood-type spiritual root, and the wood-type cultivation techniques practiced by the Lu family are inherited from Master Changqing. No wonder Lu Zhengting was interested and carried this animal skin scroll with him.

Chen Qian could only put it away for the time being; he certainly wouldn't go on an expedition to search for it anytime soon.

However, he had also seen records of the Immortal Changqing in the Chen family's library.

Rumor has it that Master Changqing may possess a Wood-type Origin Spirit Orb.

With a fully formed fire-type primordial spirit object, plus the high-level fire-type spiritual materials that the Destiny Wheel Realm can now manifest, Chen Qian is confident that he can make the Destiny Wheel Realm evolve into a fire-type space.

This is an essential resource for advancing in the Wheel of Fate!
Although the current Destiny Wheel Realm has absorbed the verdant mountains and has taken the rudimentary form of a wood-based space, it still needs a lot of resources to perfect it to a certain stage.

It's simply out of reach in the short term.

If Master Changqing truly possesses the legendary Wood Spirit Pearl, then the situation is entirely different.

This alone is enough to entice Chen Qian to explore it, but it's too early to decide when the time will be right.

Chen Qian stored everything he liked into his Life Wheel Realm, and also collected some spirit stones, bringing his spirit stone reserves to over 200,000 before preparing to leave the Wu Family Treasury.

No, it's now Chen Qian's private treasury.

They also granted Fengyin access to manage the private database.

Although the private vault isn't particularly well-stocked right now, organizing it all by Fengyin alone is no easy task.

Chen Qian teased the little girl for a while before leisurely leaving.

……

……

……

A month has passed in the blink of an eye.

After this period of cultivation, Chen Qian's cultivation level successfully advanced to the ninth level of Qi Refining.

During this period, although the original Ninth Elder Chen Hongbing was still breaking through in Wanling City, he was unable to go to Hexian Ridge to meet with Old Ancestor Chen.

However, Old Ancestor Chen still took the time to visit Jinshi Cliff and brought Chen Qian the spiritual items he had purchased.

Among them, the most important are the Refined Gold Spirit Fruit and Frostfire Spirit Liquid given to Jin Dou, plus the Azure Gold Demon Core given before, Jin Dou finally has all the resources to advance.

Upon seeing these treasures, Little Golden Bean was overjoyed and fawned over Chen Qian for a while, almost tearing his robes in the process.

To allow the excited Golden Bean to release its energy and advance further, Chen Qian specially took it out of Golden Stone Cliff in the middle of the night.

After letting the golden bean soar freely around the sacred ground for an hour or two, the man and the bird secretly returned.

Having returned to the Realm of Destiny, the Golden Bean began a period of slumber after absorbing the resources for advancement, digesting the treasures and accumulating its foundation.

Once it awakens, it will be an incredibly powerful second-tier semi-true spirit beast.

Chen Qian was very much looking forward to it.

It's estimated that by then, he might not even be a match for Little Golden Bean.

In addition, the Kidney-Strengthening Pill was also ready, and Old Master Chen even got him some Liver-Strengthening Liquid.

Now, Chen Qian can complete the first two cycles of the Five Elements Revolving Technique.

However, if you combine it with the Body Tempering Technique of Killing Qi, the source of killing qi will be insufficient.

Chen Qian wasn't worried; obtaining baleful energy wasn't difficult.

At least in terms of cultivating the kidneys, Chen Yunyi's Ice Fiend technique is very suitable.

When Old Master Chen arrived, Chen Qian naturally accompanied him throughout. Seeing the old man looking around with tears in his eyes, Chen Qian couldn't help but sigh.

His feelings were naturally not as deep as the old man's, but he understood the old man's feelings.

Seeing his family on the fast track to regaining its former glory, one can imagine the old man's feelings.

This has been the long-cherished wish of the Chen family for hundreds of years and more than ten generations!
After reading it, the old ancestor got very drunk before drifting away.

Chen Qian broke through to the ninth level of Qi Refining and temporarily suspended his cultivation of higher realms.

One should not advance too rapidly in terms of magical power; the greater the power, the stronger the mind is required to control it.

Therefore, Chen Qian embarked on a period of self-cultivation, gradually solidifying his foundation at the ninth level.

Slowing down at this point is necessary, because once this stage is brought to its peak, the foundation can be laid.

The more solid the foundation, the smoother the path of cultivation.

The entire Qi Refining stage is actually preparation for truly solidifying the foundation of immortal cultivation.

Only when the foundation is successfully laid can one truly begin to transcend the mundane.
