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

Chapter 213 Cultivating Immortality Also Involves Human Relationships!
after one day.

The spiritual clouds swirling above the cave were finally completely absorbed and absorbed, without any dissipation.

This means that the cultivators who have reached the Foundation Establishment stage within the cave have basically completed their advancement and their realm has become initially stable.

"Hiss~ Judging from the way he finished his practice, this fellow Daoist's skills and foundation are both outstanding, and he is destined for greatness."

"Indeed, even in Wanling City, it has been many years since we have seen a fellow Daoist with such a solid foundation."

"The last time I saw a fellow cultivator who could establish such a top-tier spiritual foundation was the prodigy of the True Core Ye family, wasn't it?"

“That’s right, it happened a few years ago. The scale and power of Lingyun were about the same back then.”

The small groups of cultivators who had reached the Foundation Establishment stage gathered outside Chen Qian's cave were whispering with acquaintances, their voices filled with admiration.

Most of these people are independent cultivators who have achieved some level of cultivation, while a few are high-ranking members of large families or small and medium-sized forces.

Most of them had only barely managed to build a complete foundation, and some even had a broken foundation, making further progress almost hopeless.

Those who can achieve a flawless Dao foundation are already few and far between, and can make a name for themselves in the City of Ten Thousand Spirits.

On a small mountain peak a little behind the onlookers, three figures—two women and one man—were gazing in the direction of Chen Qian's cave.

"Uncle Lin, did Brother Chen successfully advance?"

Of the three, the girl with a quiet demeanor and pretty face asked excitedly.

The boy next to him also looked over, clearly interested in the question as well.

His physique was extremely robust, like that of a cub of a powerful, earth-shaking bear.

"Not bad." The beautiful girl in the center smiled and nodded. "Brother Chen has completed his advancement. Once his cultivation is consolidated, he should be able to leave seclusion."

Her aura was significantly stronger than that of the two boys and girls beside her, but they looked to be about the same age. What was most impressive about her were her incredibly bright and expressive eyes.

These three were none other than Lin Wanshuang, the true disciple of the Beast Taming Sect, Yan Ran, the champion of this year's Qi Refining Competition of the Beast Taming Sect, and... Yan Ran's elder brother, Yan Fei.

For the past few months, Yanran and his sister have been in seclusion in the Tower of Ten Thousand Spirits, and both have made great progress.

Yan Ran had already advanced to the ninth level of Qi Refining, while Yan Fei had reached the peak of the eighth level of Qi Refining.

It should be noted that just over six months ago, the brother and sister were merely minor cultivators at the fifth level of Qi Refining.

Such a rapid advancement speed is enough to make him stand out from the vast majority of Qi Refining disciples in the Li Kingdom's immortal sects.

However, both of them clearly possessed powerful auras, solid foundations, and their realms were obviously quite stable.

The Myriad Spirits Pagoda is a high-grade spatial spiritual treasure, considered the number one treasure of the Beast Taming Sect, and also the sect's most important heirloom.

The tower has a complete disciple training process. By generating battle illusions, disciples can gain rewards through training. It provides the most suitable cultivation techniques, secret arts, advancement resources, and so on for Beast Taming Sect disciples. It is the most desired place for secluded cultivation for all Beast Taming Sect disciples.

As soon as Lin Wanshuang finished speaking, a bright smile instantly bloomed on Yanran's pretty face, like the first ray of sunshine after the ice and snow melted.

She subconsciously took a small step forward, the accessories on the hem of her skirt reflecting a shimmering light, her gaze fixed intently on the direction of Chen Qian's cave, as if she couldn't wait to fly there immediately.

"That's great! I always believed Brother Chen could do it!" Yan Ran said excitedly, with an almost blind faith in Chen Qian.

The little ferret "Frostshadow" on her shoulder also sensed its owner's emotions, nuzzling her cheek with its little head, its dark eyes also looking curiously in that direction.

As for her true trump card, the three-tailed jade fox "Qinglan," she is not one to reveal herself easily.

Yan Fei, standing to the side, grinned widely, slapped his thigh hard, and laughed loudly, "Haha! I knew Brother Chen was a true man! Foundation Establishment is nothing, Core Formation and Nascent Soul will definitely be within his grasp in the future!"

The loud voice sounded somewhat abrupt on the quiet mountaintop, causing Lin Wanshuang to smile and gently shake her head.

"Brother, keep your voice down." Yanran glared at her brother reproachfully, but the joy in her eyes and brows was impossible to hide.

She looked at Lin Wanshuang with a hint of anticipation: "Uncle Lin, Brother Chen is still consolidating his cultivation. I wonder if it would be convenient for us to go and offer our congratulations now?"

She knew that cultivators needed time to consolidate their breakthroughs and was afraid that disturbing Chen Qian rashly would affect him.

But the longing in her heart and the tenderness in her soul made her unable to suppress her desire to see Chen Qian immediately.

Lin Wanshuang looked at Yan Ran's hesitant expression, wanting to see him but also reluctant, and was about to speak...

In their minds, they simultaneously heard Chen Qian's kind and gentle voice.

"Ran, you're here. I was so disappointed when I didn't see you for over two months! Bring Afei along with you! Relax, don't make a fuss."

"Wanshuang, I know you have come many times before, but I have been neglecting you during your seclusion! Please come to my cave for a chat."

This advancement phenomenon was fake; Chen Qian's condition was completely different from what the cultivators outside had predicted.

What level of mastery does he need to solidify?
He was having a sweet conversation with Su Yueshang, occasionally taking advantage of her with his words and actions.

After gathering the spiritual clouds, he naturally instructed Aka to monitor the situation around the cave.

Then, to his delight, he discovered that Lin Wanshuang, along with Yanran and Yanfei, was on a small mountain peak a dozen miles away, gazing into the distance at his cave dwelling.

It was obvious that the two siblings had just emerged from seclusion, and Lin Wanshuang, knowing their relationship with her and understanding that she was about to emerge from seclusion, had brought them along.

A warmth appeared in Chen Qian's deep eyes. He was naturally in a great mood because someone cared about him, but it quickly turned into a mischievous glint in his eyes.

At this distance, if I were to transmit my voice directly to them, wouldn't they be absolutely astonished?!

He acts on his thoughts without hesitation. Even though he is mentally mature, he still retains a youthful spirit.

With his cultivation greatly improved, it's no exaggeration to say that he could be considered the number one person in the Foundation Establishment stage, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud.

A smile played on his lips, and with a thought, he used Aka's Monitoring and Knowledge Domain to transmit his voice through divine sense.

Leaving aside the turmoil in the hearts of Lin Wanshuang and Yan Ran, Chen Qian stood up, put down Su Yueshang who had been nestled in his arms, kissed her soft, almost juicy cheek, and said, "Yueshang, I'm going out to greet the guests."

Su Yueshang gave him a charmingly reproachful look, straightened his robes, and said, "Go ahead, I won't show myself."

Chen Qian smiled. It was indeed difficult to explain Su Yueshang's appearance at this time, so he nodded and sent her into the Wheel of Fate.

Next, we need her help to refine magical artifacts. The materials and spiritual items we've collected over this period have all been given to her, so it's good for her to sort them out first.

After Su Yueshang left, Chen Qian slightly released his cultivation, and a faint spiritual pressure naturally emanated from him. It felt more like the state of a cultivator who had just advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage. Only then did he step towards the entrance of the cave.

"Boom..."

The heavy stone door slid open slowly to both sides, and the faint morning sunlight and fresh air rushed into the front courtyard of the cave.

The surrounding cultivators, who were watching from a distance, perked up and all turned their gazes toward the entrance. There stood a young man dressed in a simple jade-white robe, slowly walking out of the cave.

He was tall and handsome, with a sharp look in his eyes after his breakthrough. Although he seemed to have deliberately concealed his aura, the powerful pressure and magical fluctuations unique to the Foundation Establishment stage clearly told everyone around him that this was a great cultivator who had just successfully established his foundation!

Moreover, to many early Foundation Establishment cultivators, this young man's aura was extremely intimidating, and his blood and qi surged like a furnace, instantly giving them a sense of invincibility!
This... is absolutely an unparalleled genius!

"Congratulations, fellow Daoist, on successfully establishing your foundation! The path to the Great Dao is now within reach!"

"May your Dao foundation be ever solid and your blessings everlasting!"

……

As soon as Chen Qian appeared, many quick-witted Foundation Establishment cultivators stepped forward to greet him, cupping their hands in congratulations, their faces full of sincere smiles.

The sounds came and went.

"Congratulations, fellow Daoist! Such a pure and profound aura truly indicates an exceptional foundation! I am Xiao Heng from the Xiao Clan of Tianyun Mountain, and I have come here to offer my congratulations!" A middle-aged Foundation Establishment cultivator dressed in family attire spoke with great enthusiasm, seemingly intending to recruit him.

Chen Qian had also heard of the Xiao family of Yunshan. They were one of the dozen or so pseudo-core families under the Beast Taming Sect, and were on the same level as the Wang family of Xuanwu Territory.

"Fellow Daoist, you have built such a foundation at such a young age, your future is limitless! Would you be interested in joining our Baisheng Merchant Alliance? The resources and offerings are absolutely generous!" A cultivator dressed as a merchant squeezed through the crowd and enthusiastically handed over a jade name card.

The monks who gathered around chattered amongst themselves, some offering pure congratulations, some hoping to make friends, and others extending olive branches in an attempt to recruit them.

This is mainly because Chen Qian is both young and looks unfamiliar.

If he had a strong background, it would be unlikely that such a promising cultivator would advance to the Foundation Establishment stage alone in Wanling City.

Therefore, many onlookers speculated that this might be a rogue cultivator with great fortune, which led to even more people trying to recruit him.

Chen Qian thought to himself, "The cultivators living in Yunxiufang are all very worldly-wise, kind, and have pleasant voices. I really like this place."

For the many forces, large and small, in the Li Kingdom, a newly promoted Foundation Establishment cultivator with unlimited potential but no powerful background is a highly sought-after asset.

They are often the focus of attention and the object of courting by various forces.

With a gentle smile, Chen Qian returned the greetings to everyone in all directions with clasped hands, calmly handling their pleasantries and probing questions.

His speech and manner were neither arrogant nor overly enthusiastic, displaying his charm and demeanor in just the right way, which made him admired.

"Thank you all for your kindness. I have just broken through and need to stabilize my realm. I cannot consider anything else for the time being. I can only thank you all for your good intentions."

His gaze was like lightning; he seemed to casually sweep across the crowd, but he precisely caught three figures that had quietly approached from not far away.

The smile on his lips deepened even further.

"Fellow Daoists, I am Chen Yunqian, a member of the Chen family of Fenglin Valley. I have been fortunate enough to establish my Dao foundation and have gained some minor cultivation. I am preparing to hold a foundation-building and marriage ceremony at the Qianlong Mountain Daoist Temple in one hundred days!"

"If any of you fellow Daoists could spare the time to grace us with your presence, I, Chen, would certainly welcome you with open arms! Please forgive any shortcomings in our hospitality today, given the hasty arrangements!"

Just then, Lin Wanshuang led Yan Ran and his sister to a spot not far from the entrance of the cave, but did not directly squeeze into the center of the crowd.

Chen Qian's revelation of his identity and the announcement of the upcoming Foundation Establishment Ceremony were intended to further provoke the Wang family, making them lose their composure and giving them a good opportunity.

Besides, even if he doesn't reveal his identity, such an open and aboveboard appearance will allow many large and small forces in Wanling City to find out most of his information within a day or two.

Wang Jiaru still wants to suppress the Chen family, and this ceremony is a good opportunity that she can't miss.

Chen Qian also wanted them to concentrate their firepower here and stop making small moves in other areas.

As the saying goes, "A single punch can prevent a hundred more."

By accomplishing everything in one battle, the Chen family firmly established itself as the leading family in the southwest corner of the Beast Taming Sect, setting it on a path of faster development.

Upon hearing Chen Qian reveal his identity, many of those around him who wanted to recruit him felt slightly disappointed and had to give up for the time being.

They all responded enthusiastically to Chen Qian's invitation, saying they would definitely attend to offer their congratulations.

Chen Qian didn't take it entirely seriously. Judging from the expressions of many people, he knew that most of them didn't know where Phoenix Forest Valley was located or how strong it was. Their enthusiastic response at this moment was just a matter of social etiquette.

The cultivators then gradually took their leave, and Chen Qian bowed to see them off.

After all the commotion, things have finally calmed down a lot.

Lin Wanshuang and the other two then slowly walked over.

Yanran, who was standing to the side, could hardly contain her emotions.

Lin Wanshuang, the leader, wore a colorful butterfly-patterned gauze dress. Her face was stunningly beautiful, and her temperament was ethereal. She smiled at Chen Qian with her eyes crinkling and said, "Brother Qian, congratulations on your successful Foundation Establishment! You're almost catching up with me, hehehe~"

After saying that, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Chen Qian and Yan Ran, the brother and sister, were both infected by the positive influence, and their moods became much lighter and brighter.

The initial excitement of not seeing each other for so long has subsided considerably.

Upon Lin Wanshuang's appearance and her words, many of the cultivators who had not yet gone far recognized this newly famous disciple of the Beast Taming Sect—Fairy Butterfly—and cast respectful glances at Chen Qian.

The fact that a true disciple of the Beast Taming Sect came to offer his congratulations is enough to demonstrate that this newly promoted Foundation Establishment cultivator is no ordinary person!

This is quite different from their assumption that it has no background or foundation.

Those who wanted to recruit Chen Qian immediately lost all interest.

Several Foundation Establishment cultivators are already considering what kind of gift they should give when they attend the Foundation Establishment ceremony in a hundred days.

This is a promising stock; it might even become a major player in the future.

We must befriend them!

Cultivating immortality is not just about fighting and killing; it also requires understanding human relationships and social dynamics!
As Yanran got closer to Chen Qian, her heart pounded faster and faster, almost as if it were about to burst out of her chest.

After several months apart, Brother Chen has become even taller and more handsome.

Now that he has advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage, his imposing presence has only intensified her admiration for him.

When Yan Ran met Chen Qian's familiar gaze, and saw that familiar, gentle smile, Yan Ran immediately knew that Brother Chen was still the same person, and wouldn't change just because his cultivation had deepened.

Overwhelmed with longing and joy, the reserve she had been trying so hard to maintain vanished instantly. Unable to contain her excitement, her voice trembled slightly: "May Brother Chen's foundation be ever solid and his path ever flourish!"
