Transform into ancestral tablets and create a supreme immortal clan.

More than a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Shen Xiao carefully studied the various cultivation techniques and secret arts collected by the Shen family within the spirit tablet.

That day, the head of the family, Shen Shichu, walked in with an excited expression.

"Descendant Shen Shichu kowtows to his ancestor!"

Shen Xiao asked with a hint of curiosity, "What brings you to see me at this hour?"

"Ancestor, a few days ago, a member of our clan was fortunate enough to obtain a five-hundred-year-old Soul-Nourishing Grass in Cangshan, Yunzhou. We have come to offer it to you."

This action left Shen Xiao somewhat amused and exasperated.

Do they really think he's dead?

His situation is different from those cultivators whose physical bodies are annihilated and only their souls remain.

To be precise, Shen Xiao's current state is that of the incomplete ancestral spirit of the Shen family.

Soul-Nourishing Grass and Spirit-Nourishing Pills were of no use to him.

A 500-year-old Soul-Nourishing Grass is quite valuable, and it's truly admirable that Shen Shichu has such filial piety.

But when Shen Shichu respectfully placed the Soul-Nourishing Grass on the offering table, Shen Xiao swallowed his words of refusal.

[The host has received a family offering: a 500-year-old Soul-Nourishing Grass, which can be converted into 100 Offering Points. Convert?]

"You can do that? System, why didn't you say so sooner? Convert it, convert it now!"

If he had known he could play like this, he wouldn't be so poor.

Forget it, this system doesn't seem very smart anyway.

San Ganzi is utterly useless; it has virtually no self-awareness, so why bother getting angry with it?

The soul-nourishing grass on the offering table, to Shen Shichu's astonishment, transformed into specks of golden light, like a rainbow, flowing into Shen Xiao's memorial tablet.

Shen Shichu was overjoyed. His ancestor had accepted his offerings, which meant that the items suited his ancestor's tastes.

"This is a good item; you've put in a lot of effort! This Rejuvenating Pill is hereby bestowed upon you."

The main effects of this "Dead Tree Rejuvenates Pill" are to cleanse the tendons and marrow, activate the meridians and acupoints, and stimulate the body's vitality.

In the cultivation world, once a Qi Refining cultivator's bone age exceeds sixty years, if they still cannot break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, their physical activity and potential will begin to decline significantly.

Therefore, generally speaking, if one cannot establish a foundation by the age of sixty, the chances of successfully establishing a foundation in the future will become increasingly lower.

The Rejuvenating Pill was developed to address the aging of bodily functions in cultivators at the Qi Refining stage.

This pill is not rare in major cultivation sects, it's just that the price is a bit high.

Because refining this elixir requires the use of more than ten kinds of ancient medicinal herbs that have been around for centuries.

However, this pill cannot directly increase the chances of a cultivator successfully establishing their foundation; it only temporarily restores the cultivator's physical functions to the level before the age of sixty.

The effects of the drug last for a maximum of three years, after which bodily functions will continue to decline.

Many resource-rich, elderly cultivators in the Qi Refining stage, wanting to make one last attempt before their lifespan ends, will purchase the Rejuvenating Pill to ensure they are in peak condition when attempting to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

But for Shen Shichu, he had long since come to terms with it and accepted his predetermined fate.

If the foundation cannot be laid in the first sixty years, how can one expect to succeed in one fell swoop later?

The value of a single Rejuvenating Pill is already equivalent to one-third of the Foundation Establishment Pill.

The Shen family today does not have the financial resources to be so wealthy.

Therefore, when Shen Shichu received the elixir, he had mixed feelings.

He is eighty-nine years old this year and has remained at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining for a full thirty years.

Did the ancestors bestow this elixir because they disliked him? Or did they blame him for not being ambitious enough?

After all, he had long since given up the idea of ​​reaching the Foundation Establishment stage over the past thirty years.

The clan's limited resources are prioritized for younger generations with better aptitude and a greater chance of achieving Foundation Establishment.

If Shen Xiao knew what Shen Shichu was thinking at this moment, he would probably cry out that he was wronged.

He bestowed this pill solely because the Marrow Cleansing Pill in the system shop only required 20 offering points.

For Shen Xiao now, giving back this pill would indeed be useful to Shen Shichu, and it would be the most cost-effective option.

Moreover, the Rejuvenating Pill from the system shop is of the highest quality and efficacy, far superior to those refined by the major immortal sects in the outside world.

If Shen Shichu were to take this pill, his physical functions might be able to temporarily return to the peak state of his youth. If he then took the Foundation Establishment Pill, his chances of successfully establishing his foundation would be greatly increased.

"System, can items offered by family members be converted into offering points?"

Only spiritual objects and medicines containing the essence of heaven and earth, or artifacts capable of carrying the family's fortune, can be converted into offering value.

Upon hearing this, Shen Xiao instantly deflated.

He understood that the transformation of offerings was related to the family's fortune, but not so much to the spirit itself.

A five-hundred-year-old Soul-Nourishing Grass is indeed extremely precious and rare for the Shen family at present, and can be regarded as a spiritual medicine to be passed down as the family's heritage.

Therefore, when ownership fell into the hands of the Shen family, it naturally carried a portion of the family's fortune.

After figuring out the connection, Shen Xiao couldn't help but feel somewhat disappointed.

But in any case, this is the fastest way to obtain offerings.

Shen Xiao will not give up easily.

"At this very beginning, I hereby decree that all members of the clan may offer items to me."

If I am satisfied, I will grant you any requests for elixirs, secret techniques, magical treasures, or cultivation methods that are equivalent to the offerings.

"I will certainly grant your request."

"The descendants of the first generation of the clan kowtow to express their gratitude for the divine grace of their ancestors!"

As the head of the family, he understood all too well how important Shen Xiao's actions were to a cultivation family.

If what Shen Xiao said is true, then the Shen family will definitely be able to develop and grow rapidly.

Because in the world of cultivation, resources are not scarce, but the most important thing is whether they can be transformed into resources that are useful to oneself.

For example, a Foundation Establishment Pill is worth three thousand spirit stones.

The Shen family's total assets are naturally more than three thousand spirit stones.

However, obtaining a Foundation Establishment Pill in a short period of time is not easy.

This item is basically monopolized by the major immortal sects.

All the cultivation families in the entire Chu Kingdom would have to pay a price far exceeding the value of a single one to obtain it.

This demonstrates the significant value of Shen Xiao's actions.

If what Shen Xiao said is true, then it means that the Shen family will no longer lack cultivation resources in the future.

Shen Shichu had even begun to consider spending three thousand spirit stones to buy spirit items and magic treasures of equal value in the market.

If I exchange Foundation Establishment Pills with Shen Xiao, can I take them to the auction house in the market and sell them for five or even six thousand spirit stones?

At this moment, Shen Shichu kept apologizing in his heart, feeling that he had gone against his ancestors and was unworthy of being a descendant.

But this idea grew wildly like weeds, and there was no way to stop it.

For him, the desire to expand and grow his family was paramount; it was his lifelong obsession.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Shichu turned around and knelt down again with a thud.

"This unworthy descendant, Shen Shichu, inquires of his ancestor: Is it possible to exchange anything for this?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Xiao seemed to understand Shen Shichu's doubts. Was he being treated like a wishing well?

But upon closer reflection, this idea doesn't seem to be wrong.

As long as the price is right, wouldn't the spirit of this ancestor of the Shen family grant any request?

As long as the offerings are sufficient, there are probably few things he cannot accomplish.

"Naturally, anything!"

If the offerings are in place, they might even bring down the sky; the only problem is that they might not have anything of value to offer.

To a certain extent, with his ancestral spirit guarding the Shen family, the more valuable the spiritual object, the more abundant the fortune it brings to the Shen family.

If you convert it into offerings, what can't you get in return?

The system shop has all sorts of divine items for changing spiritual roots and spiritual bodies, but they're ridiculously expensive.

Shen Shichu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then got up and left with a complicated expression.

He needs to verify it quickly, otherwise he won't be able to sleep peacefully.
