Cultivating Immortality Through a Hundred Lifetimes: Starting with Many Children and Abundant Blessi

The Chen family of Yuquan, Yunlan Mountain.

Chen Xuansu sat cross-legged on a futon, with wisps of smoke rising from the stove behind him, recounting the stories of the three overlords of this territory.

Green Wood Sect, Fire Sect, Yellow Dragon Sect.

They are all Golden Core forces with thousands of years of history, possessing profound foundations, and some even have Nascent Soul level lineages.

"Yun'er, you and your grandmother both have fire spirit roots, so you are actually the most suitable for the inheritance of the Li Huo Sect."

"Unfortunately, our Green Wood Sect has a very bad relationship with them, and we have been fighting and killing each other for thousands of years."

"Otherwise, sending you into the Li Huo Mountain Range would be the most suitable option."

Chen Xuansu took out a crimson jade slip, engraved with golden flame patterns:

"The true secret of the Li Huo Sect is called the 'Nanming Li Huo Scripture,' which is the supreme inheritance of the fire path that leads directly to the Nascent Soul realm."

Upon hearing this, Fang Yun's heart pounded: "Grandma, don't tell me that the one you have is it!"

Reason told him it was impossible, but... what if it was?

"How could the fundamental lineage of the Golden Elixir Sect be passed down outside?"

Chen Xuansu smiled indulgently: "However, you guessed half right. The cultivation technique in Grandmother's hand is a simplified and disassembled version of the Nanming Li Huo Jing."

The cultivation techniques derived from the Nascent Soul Scripture?

Fang Yun immediately became very interested.

When he saw the name, it was like a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head.

"The Art of Departing from Fire"

There are at least eight hundred, if not a thousand, versions of this ubiquitous fire-attribute cultivation technique in the cultivation world!

And as Fang Yun continued reading...

He was shocked to discover that this cultivation technique had stopped at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, thus ending its practice.

It's not even as good as the Wooden Armor Technique from my previous life!

Chen Xuansu noticed his grandson's confusion: "The level of a cultivation technique is not necessarily better the higher it is; what's most important is that it suits you best."

"Especially for Qi Refining cultivators, whose lifespan is too short, they should not covet those obscure and difficult-to-understand high-level cultivation techniques."

"Once you break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, you will develop divine consciousness and your lifespan will be extended."

"Changing to the Golden Core and Nascent Soul scriptures is actually faster and twice as effective."

Fang Yun listened and immediately felt that there was some truth to it.

But he had another question: "Grandmother, if one's cultivation technique is too weak, making it difficult to pass the mana barrier of the three Foundation Establishment stages, what should be done?"

Chen Xuansu looked on with admiration, realizing that his grandson had his own thoughts and was not just parroting others.

"It's very simple, just eat a few more Foundation Building Pills. Three or five pills will guarantee you get through this difficult time smoothly."

"Moreover, this Fire Separation Technique is derived from the Nascent Soul True Scripture. Although its upper limit is not high, its conception is profound enough."

"It emphasizes nurturing the essence of the Fire, which is intense and ever-changing, magnificent and vast, making it most suitable for Qi Refining cultivators to use as a foundation."

Chen Xuansu hesitated for a moment, but continued, "Grandmother's theories only apply to cultivators like us who are neither here nor there, of average appearance."

"If one is exceptionally gifted, such as having a celestial spiritual root or an earth spiritual root, or being a prodigy in enlightenment, then it is more suitable to cultivate the Nascent Soul True Scripture from the very beginning."

"Thank you for your teachings, Grandmother!"

Fang Yun humbly accepted the instruction and began to carefully study the Fire Separation Technique.

……

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Fang Yun successfully cultivated the Fire-Separating Technique and entered the first level of Qi Refining.

"His cultivation speed is about 1.8 times that of his previous life, which is very close to that of a top-grade spiritual root."

His fingertips unleashed magical power, transforming into a ball of crimson flame.

The flame's core glows with gold, its light as clear as glass; from afar, it resembles the melting gold of the sunset, and up close, it feels like the sun shining on mountains and rivers.

It is indeed far superior to those mainstream products.

Perhaps it's because they are naturally compatible with fire.

The ball of flame that Fang Yun unleashed was the size of a peach, far exceeding that of an ordinary Qi Refining Level 1 cultivator.

The Fire-Leaving Technique contains many spells, and after careful selection, he chose three of them.

Fire Dragon Roar, Flame Wheel Escape, Seal of Departure Fire.

It can fight and escape, and has both ranged and melee capabilities, enough to cultivate to the perfect Qi Refining stage.

"It's time to embark on the path of cultivation again, to learn alchemy, and to reveal my talent."

Fang Yun silently pondered his future plans.

In this life, he was born into a very good family and had no shortage of resources. He planned to try to break through to the Foundation Establishment realm before he turned thirty.

With a foundation from his past life and two talents to rely on, his most important goal is to break through to the third-tier alchemist.

As for whether or not one achieves the Golden Core stage, he doesn't insist on it; he can accept even becoming a pseudo-Core True Person.

Just do your best.

When Fang Yun finished his seclusion and pushed open the palace door, he immediately saw a spirited young man waiting for him.

"Brother Yun, congratulations! From this day forward, you are a true cultivator!"

The young man's name was Chen Xiaoshan. He had striking features and was handsome. He was Chen Xiaoshan's half-brother in this life.

He possessed a low-grade wood spirit root, which was just right for Da Fangyun, who was ten years old.

"Brother, why aren't you cultivating at the Green Wood Sect?"

Fang Yun scratched his head, feeling somewhat unaccustomed to his older brother's care and enthusiasm.

Although Chen Xiaoshan lacked talent, his family background was extremely influential, and he was successfully accepted as a disciple by the Qingmu Sect.

"I only rushed back because I heard the news that Brother Yun has entered the Dao."

"Of course, there are more important things..."

Chen Xiaoshan chuckled: "I've successfully broken through to the sixth level of Qi Refining, and Dad has more spirit stones than he can spend. He definitely has to show his appreciation."

Congratulations to my elder brother!

Fang Yun's heart stirred upon hearing this.

This reminded him that he should also try to bring good luck.

You can never have too many spirit stones.

The two brothers traveled together to the palace-like complex at the foot of the mountain, where the sounds of silk and bamboo instruments filled the air with decadent music.

Chen Shih-Ching remained the same as always, embracing both of them with a dazed look in his eyes, completely immersed in a life of pleasure and debauchery.

Fang Yun remained calm, but a hint of disgust flashed in Chen Xiaoshan's eyes.

"Hey! You two have come at the perfect time. This is the Phoenix Tree Pill from the first half of the year, just delivered from the main peak of Jade Spring."

Chen Shijing, chugging his wine, paid no heed and tossed over two translucent jade bottles.

Upon opening, it contained a crimson-colored elixir.

Three crimson lines spread out, outlining a lifelike phoenix, poised to take flight.

After Fang Yun's spiritual root was detected, his family bestowed upon him this precious pill, which he could take two of each year.

This is exclusive to the Yunlan Mountain lineage; it can nourish the phoenix blood within them, improve their aptitude, and enhance their physical constitution.

Fang Yun secretly checked it himself, and there was indeed nothing wrong with the pill.

The ingredients are precious, the elixir is pure, and the refining technique is extremely skillful.

Each one will develop precious red patterns and is almost free of poison.

In addition to the Phoenix Tree Pill, Chen Shijing also gave each person 1,500 spirit stones as cultivation resources.

"Brother, how long are we going to have to keep taking these pills?"

Fang Yun stroked the jade bottle, initially harboring some doubts.

But since nothing had happened in the past few years, and the Phoenix Tree Pill was indeed a top-grade treasure, he gradually lowered his guard.

"My grandmother said that the family will stop distributing aid once we break through to the Foundation Establishment stage."

"Or, like his father, he cut off his future and gave up on himself, no longer wasting resources."

Chen Xiaoshan shook his head, not really caring.

The Yunlan Mountain family has been passed down for seven generations, and each generation has grown up eating Phoenix Tree Pills, so it's nothing new to them.

It is precisely because of the supply of such precious elixirs that the foundation-building process can be guaranteed to continue generation after generation.

This represents the family's allocation of resources to the direct descendants of their ancestor.

Spring goes and autumn comes, and several years have passed.

Fang Yun is twelve years old, and his cultivation level is steadily increasing at a rate of one level per year.

He never used elixirs in this life; he relied entirely on his own arduous cultivation.

His magical power is exceptionally pure and his foundation is solid; he has now reached the third level of Qi Refining.

At the same time, he began to show his talent, gradually demonstrating his alchemical abilities to his grandmother.

He successfully became a mid-grade first-level alchemist.

It was also in this year that the Aoki Sect opened its gates and began recruiting new disciples.

After thinking it over, Fang Yun decided to enter the sect to cultivate.
