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

Chapter 244 Cultivating the Spirit Nest Tree and Forming a Contract with the Natal Spirit Bird!

It seems that Jing Hanxing will wake up soon.

She entered meditation later but woke up earlier, clearly showing that she was more insightful than her sister.

However, Chen Qian was more skilled in this second transmission of power than the first time, and he did a better job with the details, which may be partly due to this.

Chen Qian stood up and casually cast a cleansing spell to clear away the impurities generated after body refinement.

"These little tricks are really useful." Chen Qian smelled his own scent, which had returned to its fresh and natural state, and couldn't help but smile.

If everyone knew this spell in their previous life, how much water would be saved every day?
Then he took out the Illusionary Moonlight Robe and put it on.

This robe is a second-tier superior quality. It is not only beautiful in design, but also extremely tough, making it difficult to damage with ordinary attacks. Chen Qian was quite satisfied with it.

Wearing this robe reminds me of those three girls. They should be almost at Kurosawa by now, right?
I wonder how the mission is going?

After settling things with the Jing sisters, I'll contact the Core Formation Fairy Sister later to see if everything is going smoothly for them.
……

Less than an hour after Jing Hanxing woke up, Jing Lengyue also regained consciousness.

In just over half a day, the two women certainly couldn't have fully mastered the technique, but this meditation and contemplation saved them at least several months.

Moreover, Chen Qian has already imprinted the cultivation technique into their souls, so they can review it at any time and it is extremely convenient for them to switch to other cultivation methods.

This act of spreading the Dharma filled the two women with gratitude once again.

After all, one can only know the limits and power of a technique by practicing it.

Although the Spirit Pet Resonance Pact can only be cultivated to the peak of the second tier at present, its lofty ideals and powerful abilities far surpass those of the Pure Maiden Heart-to-Heart Technique.

The upper limit of this cultivation technique depends on the growth limit of the contracted spirit beast.

Since Chen Qian chose to summon them at Snow Feather Palace, it was clear that he intended to entrust the two Snow Feather Phoenixes inside to them for contract formation.

This is a spirit beast that has the potential to grow to the fourth tier!
The thought of suddenly having the hope of advancing to the Nascent Soul stage made the two women tremble slightly with excitement.

In the Li Kingdom, Nascent Soul True Monarchs are like gods. Countless talented rogue cultivators, family elites, and immortal sect prodigies, no matter how ambitious they are, mostly only dare to set their sights on the Core Formation True Person level.

Who would dare to easily aspire to the status of a Nascent Soul True Monarch?

But now, the two women seem to have seen that this road to heaven is already laid out before them.

Even if there are many difficulties ahead, at least the possibility has been made.

In fact, the fourth tier, a future they dared not even imagine, was just the starting point for Chen Qian.

If he were willing, he could give the Xuanhuang Qi he had to them and Ni Feng to merge. Then, with the right resources, becoming an immortal or ancestor in the future would be a piece of cake.

As for such a high-quality spirit beast, why not give it to Qingman and Ziyao, his two concubines who are closer to him, through a contract?

Of course, Qingman and Ziyao have both found more suitable paths for development.

Currently, Qingman has already contracted with three fire crows, including the Fire Crow King, but her spiritual limit is insufficient, so she has to postpone it.

Because the Fire Crow King is about to advance to the second tier, she must cultivate to at least the peak of Qi Refining before she can continue to contract the next one.

The Fire Crow race is not comparable to ordinary low-level demonic beasts. As long as the right training method is found and the right resources are provided, they are expected to gradually advance into innate true spirits—the Great Sun Golden Crow.

The Thunderscale Salamander that Zi Yao contracted is no ordinary creature either; Chen Qian has already planned its cultivation path.

First, train it to advance to the second-tier Flying Serpent Salamander, then the third-tier Thunder Purple Dragon, and then the fourth-tier Sunflower Water Thunder Dragon...

Now, the most promising "big-headed" salamander is also nearing its next stage.

……

"Come on." Seeing that the two women had already grasped the basics of the Spirit Pet Resonance Contract and possessed the means to subdue Ni Feng, Chen Qian led them toward Xueyu Palace.

"Yes, my lord." The two women followed Chen Qian with their heads bowed and eyes lowered, their hearts burning with desire as they looked at the majestic Snow Feather Palace ahead.

Although this palace only houses two spirit birds, it was built to be extremely tall and spacious so that they would have enough room to move around.

At the palace entrance, a unique, crisp aura of the icy spirit bird wafted out.

The floor inside the hall was covered with crystal-clear snow jade, and in the center stood a giant tree, tens of feet tall, with a trunk of jade white.

Despite its sparse branches and leaves, it exudes a rich sense of life and a chilling aura.

It was the "Nurturing Spirit Nest Tree" bestowed by the Beast Taming Sect along with the spirit bird.

At this moment, the pair of snow-feathered phoenix chicks were perched on it.

Although they are fledglings, they are quite large, with a wingspan of nearly ten feet. Their feathers are pure white, like fresh snow, without a single blemish. Only the tips of their long tail feathers flow with iridescent light, swaying gently as they occasionally preen their feathers, creating a dreamlike scene.

Its beak was pale gold, and its eyes were bright yet held the arrogance and vigilance characteristic of high-level spirit birds.

Upon sensing Chen Qian's arrival, the two fledglings stopped preening their feathers, straightened their long necks, and turned their sharp eyes to him with curious scrutiny.

Although they were still fledglings, their auras as top-tier first-order beings were quite solid, with faint shards of ice drifting around them.

"Wow—"

As if greeting each other, the two fledglings chirped softly at Chen Qian.

They seemed to know that Chen Qian was the master of this world, and were not afraid or hostile; on the contrary, they were very friendly.

Chen Qian looked at them gently, his eyes revealing appreciation.

"Indeed, incredibly handsome," Chen Qian murmured in praise.

These birds are naturally exceptionally intelligent, no less so than the native golden beans.

The environment inside the Snow Feather Palace was arranged exactly according to the requirements in the jade slip given by Lin Wanshuang, almost perfectly replicating the growth environment of Ni Feng in the Beast Taming Sect, allowing them to adapt quickly.

“This Primordial Spirit Nest Tree…” Chen Qian’s gaze fell on the jade-like giant tree, and he frowned slightly. “It’s still growing too slowly.”

According to the jade slip given by the Beast Taming Sect, the Qi Cultivation Spirit Nest Tree takes a hundred years to flower and bear fruit, and its flowers and fruits are key to promoting the advancement of the Snow Feather Phoenix bloodline.

A hundred years is not a long time for a spirit bird, but for Chen Qian, who possesses the Wheel of Fate, it is not an insurmountable period of time.

Besides, he has suitable resources at his disposal. Nine-Peak Jade Marrow and Thousand-Grain Gold Sand are extremely beneficial to spiritual plants, especially the latter.

In addition, the thousand-year-old warm jade marrow given by the Qian family can also be used, but it would be a bit of a waste, since it is a spiritual object that can nourish the foundation of one's cultivation.

If this thing can be used to nurture and nourish the body for a long time, even a damaged Dao foundation has a good chance of being repaired and upgraded to a complete level, preserving a sliver of possibility of advancing to the Core Formation stage.

However, this is not a problem for Lord Chen Xuanzun, because as long as he obtains these naturally occurring spiritual creatures and has spirit stones, he can have as many as he wants.

Therefore, without hesitation, he took out all the spiritual items that were beneficial to the growth of the Spirit Nest Tree and buried them under the roots of the giant tree, amidst the curious yet somewhat shocked gazes of the two people and two birds from Snow Feather Palace.

After finishing, he clapped his hands, and with a slight thought, communicated with the will of the Wheel of Fate.

A few breaths later, on the dome of Snow Feather Palace, the invisible power of the world's rules quietly gathered, transforming into a faint golden glow that gently fell upon the Nourishing Spirit Nest Tree like the morning sun.

The jade-white tree trunk seemed to be instantly infused with powerful vitality, and the branches and leaves became more lustrous at a speed visible to the naked eye.

On the sparse branches, a few barely perceptible tender green buds quietly swelled, and the life force emanating from them instantly became several times stronger!
The two Snow Feathered Phoenix chicks also sensed the changes in the spirit tree, excitedly flapping their wings, creating a gentle breeze mixed with ice crystals, and emitting even more cheerful chirps.

The way they looked at Chen Qian was not only affectionate, but also showed a hint of innocent dependence.

A satisfied smile appeared on Chen Qian's lips.

The catalysis of the world's will, coupled with the accelerated nourishment of suitable spiritual objects, will greatly shorten the growth cycle of the spiritual tree.

The giant tree exudes even stronger vitality and Daoist charm. Combined with the rich ice and snow spiritual energy of this place and the specially made Spirit Feeding Pill, the growth rate of the Snow Feather Phoenix will far exceed the original expectations of the Beast Taming Sect.

"A hundred years is too long, seize the day." He whispered to the two intelligent fledglings that approached him, "In the future, this world will be your stage to soar. When your wings are truly full and strong enough to bear the wind and clouds, perhaps there will be a day when we fight side by side."

"Cold moon, cold stars, this bird is a branch of the bloodline of the ancient exotic species Snow Feather Rainbow Phoenix."

Chen Qian's voice echoed in the empty, cold palace. He flicked his sleeves, dispersing the pervasive icy mist, allowing the two women to clearly see the pair of phoenix eyes, pure as an icy pool.

"This rare bird is female only. It reproduces by conceiving from its own bloodline eggs. Only when it grows to the third stage can it condense one egg in each of the initial, middle and late stages. After that, it will be infertile for life."

"Therefore, the fact that the Beast Taming Sect was willing to give me a pair of fledglings is truly a generous gesture."

Jing Hanxing's usually aloof fingertips trembled almost imperceptibly.

As if sensing the fluctuations of the "Spirit Pet Resonance Contract" quietly circulating within her body, one of the phoenixes let out a clear cry, like jade splashing from an icy spring, and its slender neck affectionately rubbed against her wrist.

The pale blue spiritual energy, like living vines, spontaneously flowed from Jing Hanxing's fingertips, gently wrapping around the cool phoenix feathers.

"Activate the Resonance Pact, connect with the divine soul of the Phoenix, and I will assist you in forming a contract." Chen Qian's voice rang out softly as he cast a spell, splitting it into four parts, which then entered the brows of the two women and two birds respectively. "The Resonance Pact can draw upon the power of the divine bird's bloodline origin, elevating your foundation and realm. It can also use your essence, energy, and spirit as a foundation to evolve Dao rhyme and nourish the origin of your bloodline, complementing each other."

"boom--!"

The two women and two birds were quickly drawn into a contract state by the pure soul power unleashed by Chen Qian.

The two women quickly gathered their chaotic thoughts, activated the natal talisman within the Spirit Pet Resonance Contract, generated a blood talisman, and imprinted it onto Ni Feng's divine soul.

Behind Jing Hanxing, the phantom of a giant tree with lush branches and leaves suddenly appeared, and the gnarled branches reached into the entire body of the phoenix beside her, as if they were connected by blood.
"Wood-type spiritual root, affinity with spiritual plants, and a pretty good talent," Chen Qian murmured.

Beneath Jing Lengyue's feet, a deep, ethereal swamp-like shadow appeared and rapidly spread out, emitting a chilling blue light as it gradually merged into the other phoenix.

"A Yin constitution and a water-based spiritual root, that's not bad." Chen Qian nodded slightly.

"唳——!!!"

The two phoenixes had sensed the awakening of the bloodline deep within their bodies and the profound connection they were forming with the woman beside them. They couldn't help but raise their necks and let out a long cry that pierced the clouds!

A verdant light shield, tinged with wisps of white mist, enveloped Jing Hanxing and Ni Feng.

Jing Lengyue and the other Ni Feng were also enveloped by a light shield with flowing white patterns in a deep blue.

In the radiance, the auras of humans and phoenixes blended seamlessly, circulating endlessly, inseparable.

Jing Lengyue and Jing Hanxing felt an unprecedentedly powerful force growing within their bodies, resonating with and strengthening the vigorous life force brought by the pure bloodline of Ni Feng.

The eyes of the two phoenixes became increasingly lively and profound, and the seven-colored light on their tail feathers flowed endlessly, as if they had been infused with new spirituality.

"...From this day forward," Chen Qian's voice pierced through the light barrier, clearly imprinted deep within their souls, "you are now one on the same path, sharing the same wings and cultivating your lives together!"

"There are two beast-taming rings under the tree, each containing fifty bottles of special spirit-feeding pills. The jade slip contains information on how to cultivate the Rainbow Phoenix. Study it carefully."

"From now on, the two of you may reside permanently in Snow Feather Palace, keeping Ni Feng company. Train them as quickly as possible; there will be times when you can contribute..."

Several hours later, the two light barriers slowly dissipated, revealing the figures of the woman and the spirit bird inside.

The temperament of the two women and Ni Feng had subtly changed, and the aura between humans and birds blended seamlessly. The two women of the Jing family were radiant, while the two Ni Fengs were dazzling.

They were nourished by the qi and dao energy of the two women who had already established their foundations, and they were rapidly approaching the threshold of advancing to the second stage.

As for Chen Qian, he was long gone. There was no need for him to do anything here anymore, and he wouldn't foolishly wait for the woman and the spirit bird to come out of seclusion.

Ni Feng extended her ice-blue, jade-like beak and gently pecked at the two women's outstretched palms with a hint of intimacy.

A gentle, pure yet powerful chill instantly surged into their meridians through the Laogong acupoints in their palms—

The spirit pet has recognized its master, formed a blood pact, and become connected by bloodline—it's all done!

As Jing Hanxing and Jing Lengyue felt the surging resonance power within their bodies, and the incredibly clear and wondrous connection with Ni Feng that seemed to allow them to share each other's life insights, their eyes shone with an unprecedented brilliance.

They took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in their hearts, and exchanged a glance, everything understood without words.

The two women rose at the same time and solemnly bowed deeply and sincerely towards the center of the Xuanzhu Palace, that is, to the Xuanzun Lord in the Xuanzhu Hall.

The phoenixes affectionately rubbed their heads against their respective owners. They couldn't understand the meaning behind their owners' actions, but they could feel their owners' devotion.

These intelligent birds, just like their master, lowered their elegant heads and emitted melodious chirps towards the Xuanzhu Palace.

……

Upon returning to Xuanzhu Palace, Chen Qian contacted Su Yueshang.

The Battle of Kurosawahara is crucial to the overall development of the Shikoku region, so it deserves our attention.

Moreover, with the Core Formation Fairy Sister also on the front lines, Chen Qian's mind was even more preoccupied.
