Transform into ancestral tablets and create a supreme immortal clan.

He was quite satisfied with the reincarnated body of "Nanshan Jade". With dual spiritual roots and the reshaping of its foundation by the power of the underworld during the reincarnation, it was vastly different from the original owner's mortal body.

Advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage is simply a natural progression.

Of course, at this time, the "Nanshan Jade" contained some Netherworld characteristics in its physical body, which is why the cultivators in the vicinity could sense its cold and yin properties, as if it were a corpse being refined.

"Now that he has reached the Foundation Establishment stage, it's time to fulfill the original owner's obsession as soon as possible."

I need 30 more Fate Points to fully integrate with the Destiny and gain the recognition of this world's will.

So that the true spirit may not remain trapped within the ancestral hall and spirit tablet, acting hesitantly and timidly.

No matter how good a reincarnated body is, it is ultimately just an external avatar transformed through supernatural powers, and it is fundamentally different from the original body on which one's true spirit depends.

At the very least, if one truly desires longevity, immortality, and a glimpse into the Great Dao of Immortality, reincarnation alone is insufficient.

Shen Family Ancestral Hall.

The patriarch, Shen Shichu, was examining the numerous treasures before him with a delighted expression. Among them were second-tier spiritual pills needed for Foundation Establishment stage cultivation, top-grade spiritual artifacts, and seeds of various rare spiritual herbs.

These are all the good things he exchanged with Shen Xiao.

If Shen Xiao weren't so picky about the offerings he received, he would have gladly offered every spirit stone in exchange for certain special spiritual items in exchange for various scarce resources.

"Shi Chu kowtows in gratitude for the blessings bestowed upon him by his ancestors!"

"It's alright. If you, my descendants, have such filial piety and make offerings to me from time to time, I will naturally not be stingy with them."

Upon hearing this, Shen Shichu bowed in gratitude once more.

Then, a hint of unease appeared on his face, and he hesitated to speak.

Finally, after much hesitation, he spoke up: "Ancestor, the Bei family's treasury contains some special immortal techniques and secret arts. Would you be willing to take a look?"

"Oh? Bring it here and let me see!"

In the path of spiritual practice, broadening one's horizons is essential.

He was also very interested in the various arts and techniques of cultivating immortality.

Shen Shichu presented a dark jade box containing a black and gold book, the material of which was indiscernible.

However, the words "Netherworld Curse Codex" are quite eye-catching.

However, the Bei family's "Netherworld Curse Codex" is only an incomplete copy, and it contains only a few spells.

However, most of these spells require drawing upon the power of ghosts and spirits, using the target's essence and blood as a guide, in order to be cast.

Some spells have very strict conditions for casting.

However, if one possesses the power of the netherworld, practicing this technique will be twice as effective and its power will be greatly increased.

Although this technique is a secret art of the demonic sect, it seems to have been tailor-made for reincarnated beings.

Shen Xiao immediately became interested: "This is excellent, let's keep it!"

Afterwards, Shen Xiao took out three jade slips, all of which he had exchanged in the system shop. They contained detailed explanations of three skills: talisman making, alchemy, and weapon crafting.

The Shen family also inherited these three skills, but the original owner, Shen Xiao, started out as a rogue cultivator. Although the family had inherited them for eight hundred years, he could only be considered an entry-level practitioner in these three skills.

Compared to the tens of thousands of years of Daoist lineage of the four great immortal sects of Southern Chu, it is something that cannot be matched even by a horse.

The detailed explanation that Shen Xiao presented cost him a full 600 offering points.

It encompasses the three realms of Qi Refining, Foundation Building, and Golden Core, and contains the most detailed and exquisite techniques for talisman making, alchemy, and weapon crafting.

Shen Xiao has recently developed a more long-term plan. As a family of cultivators, they can't rely on their ancestor for all resources.

Only with a fundamental lineage can the Shen family truly establish itself in the cultivation world and have a foundation for eternal existence.

Training family members to make their own talismans, alchemists, and weapon refiners is essential.

And the earlier you start, the better.

After the Shen family prospers, the inheritance of skills such as formations, restrictions, spells, spiritual plants, beast taming, insect taming, and puppetry will be arranged.

A mature cultivation family possesses at least one exquisite cultivation art passed down through generations, which is the true foundation of the family.

"These three skills should be learned by younger members of the clan. If a disciple can master them within a year, I will grant him a special opportunity to personally impart the teachings and bestow blessings upon him!"

"Shi Chu will certainly ensure that all the clan's descendants devote themselves to their studies, living up to the high expectations of our ancestors!"

"There's no need for that. Cultivating immortality depends on one's own comprehension and one can simply go with the flow."

The Shen family now has very few descendants with spiritual roots, with only a dozen or so cultivators in the entire clan, truly a depletion of talent.

From this day forward, you should focus your attention on family marriages, ensuring the continuation of your lineage; that is the proper course of action.

In the world of cultivation, it is common for major cultivation families to intermarry.

In this way, there is a greater chance that descendants with spiritual roots will be born.

Furthermore, the greater the chance that cultivators who unite as Daoist partners will have offspring with superior spiritual roots and aptitudes.

For the Shen family to grow rapidly, marriage alliances are essential.

"I have carefully followed your teachings. Regarding marriage alliances, I wonder if our ancestors bestowed any legal decrees upon us?"

Shen Xiao thought for a moment, and then said, "Let's prioritize marriage alliances with the rogue cultivators of the Southern Chu cultivation world!"

Offering generous rewards and resources, the woman is married into the family, and the man then becomes an adopted son-in-law.

As for cultivation families, let's temporarily choose those small families that only have Qi Refining stage cultivators.

"After the marriage, any offspring born with spiritual talent must be admitted to the Shen family, listed in the Shen family genealogy, and enjoy the same resources and support as the Shen family."

Shen Xiao's consideration was well thought out.

The Shen family currently has too few cultivators and insufficient strength. They also have the Floating Firefly Secret Realm and their ancestor who has an overpowered ability. They have too many secrets.

The only way to gain control is through marriage alliances between independent cultivators and Qi-cultivation families.

Shen Shichu was, after all, a cunning old fox who had lived for ninety years, so he naturally understood immediately.

After Shen Xiao finished speaking, he knew what he should do next.

……

Outside the ancestral hall, a chilling aura swept by, and then the figure of "Nanshan Yu" appeared inside.

Having just advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage, this reincarnated body cannot yet control its aura freely.

Shen Shichu, standing to the side, remained silent in tacit agreement.

Like Shen Muyi, who knew the true identity of "Nanshan Jade," they were also aware of the inside story.

Shen Muyi, who was guarding outside the door, followed closely behind the reincarnated body and entered the ancestral hall at its prompting.

After handing over the incomplete copy of the "Netherworld Curse Codex" to the reincarnated body, he then looked at the other two and carefully explained the contents.

"From today onwards, it will be announced that 'Nanshan Yu' will concurrently serve as a guest elder of the Shen family."

After some time, Mu Yi will return to Qixing Mountain with Nanshan Yu and become his disciple, thus becoming a legitimate disciple of Qixing Mountain.

From now on, you can stay by my side in this avatar and obey my commands.

Of course, in return, I will not only provide you with what you need for cultivation, but also assist you in establishing your foundation.

"We will strictly follow the teachings of our ancestors!"

Shen Xiao wanted to strike first and start planning for Seven Star Mountain now, making arrangements in advance.

In this way, Nanshan Yu's close relationship with the Shen family would have a reason to be explained, and would not arouse suspicion.

As for Shen Muyi, he gained quite a few benefits from Shen Xiao.

His current status in the family has risen significantly because he has been working for Shen Xiao.

Originally, his aptitude of three spiritual roots and his cultivation level of the fourth level of Qi Refining were average and not particularly outstanding.

And now, at the age of seventeen, he has reached the seventh level of Qi Refining.

It was only natural for him to become a disciple of the Foundation Establishment cultivator and join the sect of "Nanshan Jade".

Shen Shichu, who was standing to the side, had a gleam in his eyes.

Being an old and shrewd man, he instantly understood Shen Xiao's plan.

Our ancestor has played a grand game of chess, and the first piece has already been placed.

Presumably, it was the tragic fate of Shen Muge, the most outstanding disciple of the new generation, at Seven Star Mountain that angered this ancestor.

He may not say it, but he is extremely protective of his own.

This revenge must be taken.
