I only reached the Foundation Establishment stage at eighty years old, and then the system appeared.

More than twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye. Yang Hongbo is now sixty years old, but his cultivation progress has only reached the eighth level of Qi Refining.

Grandpa is already 150 years old, and even our ancestor is over 210 years old. Our ancestor has basically stopped going out of seclusion, because the less he moves around, the longer he can live.

Over the past few decades, Grandpa has cultivated to the sixth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm. He rarely leaves seclusion anymore, only thinking about improving his cultivation as much as possible.

However, every year, his grandfather would have someone bring Yang Hongbo a large amount of cultivation resources, ensuring that Yang Hongbo would never lack resources.

Although some people in the clan were indignant, saying that Yang Hongbo lacked talent but occupied so many resources, they only talked about it in private, and Yang Hongbo didn't care about them at all!

Grandpa is the clan chief. Preparing cultivation resources for his grandson is not a simple matter. What's so strange about it?

Over the past few decades, the Liu family has unexpectedly reaped a great benefit. After Yang Hongbo's sister married into the Liu family, she gave birth to three children, and the youngest son turned out to be a promising talent with three spiritual roots.

However, when the little ones were young, they all liked to come to the Yang family mansion to play with their eldest uncle, because every time their eldest uncle came back for the New Year, he would bring a lot of delicious food and fun toys. The little ones' eyes would widen as they watched the bags of snacks and toys fly out of the storage bag.

"Uncle, this looks really fun, can I try it?" the nephew said to his uncle.

"You don't have enough spiritual energy to open the storage bag. We'll talk about it after you've cultivated!"

The little ones were dejected and couldn't accept it for a while.

Yang Hongbo comforted them and then went to reconnect with his parents.

Although his parents are both very old, Yang Hongbo uses his spiritual power to clear their meridians every year when he goes home, so it's easy for them to live past 100.

In the blink of an eye, another twenty years have passed, and Yang Hongbo is almost eighty years old. His cultivation progress has reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining. His grandfather was very happy when he found out. Although breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm at eighty is extremely dangerous, Yang Hongbo had no way out.

Inside the cave, Yang Hongbo stared at the Foundation Establishment cultivation manual before him, diligently memorizing the dangerous sections. His grandfather had already spent 50,000 spirit stones at an auction to buy a mid-grade Foundation Establishment Pill; his fate rested on this one.

Yang Hongbo memorized the Foundation Establishment Technique once more, then swallowed the Foundation Establishment Pill with his eyes closed. Once inside his stomach, the pill began its mission: energy exceeding the Qi Refining stage flowed throughout his body's meridians. The small meridians were constantly broken and damaged, but were repaired by the wild energy of the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Outside the cave, the ancestor and grandfather waited anxiously. Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and Yang Hongbo's body was covered in sticky black grease.

Suddenly, Yang Hongbo's whole body trembled, and all the black grease vanished. At this moment, a huge vortex of spiritual energy in the sky began to pour rapidly into Yang Hongbo's cave.

The ancestor and grandfather laughed heartily. Another Foundation Establishment Realm True Person had emerged in the family. It was so exciting!

Suddenly, a childish voice appeared in Yang Hongbo's mind, "Congratulations, host, on advancing to the Foundation Establishment Realm. The Clan Development System has been credited to your account."

"Congratulations, host, you have received a system gift pack!"

"Holy crap, I can't believe I have a system too! Quick, open the gift pack!"

"Gift pack being opened."

"Congratulations, host, you have obtained a talent enhancement card."

"Congratulations, host, you have obtained a card for fifty years of cultivation."

"Congratulations, host, you have obtained twenty Youth Preservation Pills. These pills can preserve the appearance of mortals and cultivators until death."

"Congratulations, host, you have obtained twenty Longevity Pills. These Longevity Pills can increase the lifespan of mortals by one hundred years and the lifespan of cultivators by fifty years."

"Congratulations, host, you have obtained 100 Foundation Establishment Jade Spirit Pills x 2! (These pills are used by Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators for cultivation)"

"Congratulations, host, you have obtained a top-grade spirit tree! Planting this precious tree on a spirit vein will gradually increase the level of the spirit vein!"

"System, what is your main function?"

"Dear host, the family development system means that as long as your actions contribute to increasing the strength of your family, you will receive system points, regardless of the strength level."

"Points can be used to purchase any item in the system once you've accumulated enough points!"

Looking at the dazzling array of gift packages he had received, Yang Hongbo secretly laughed. This system was really powerful. It seemed he needed to find a way to go on a long trip.

Stepping out of the cave and seeing his ancestor and grandfather outside, Yang Hongbo smiled slightly: "Ancestor, grandfather, your descendant Yang Hongbo has lived up to your expectations!"

"Haha, good, good! That's wonderful! I never expected Hongbo to have such outstanding perseverance. It seems our Yang family can continue for another hundred years!"

"Ancestor, Grandfather, I want to go out for a month. In my telepathic senses, I've detected several treasures that can greatly enhance our family's strength. I want to go out and see them!"

"Oh, really? You're only at the first level of Foundation Establishment. You should stay home and consolidate your foundation!"

"No need, Ancestor. I can compress my cultivation to the seventh level of Qi Refining. That way, those of lower ranks won't dare to do anything to me, and those of higher ranks will just think I'm a poor wretch!"

"Also, my Foundation Establishment Ceremony will be held in six months!"

"Okay, Hongbo!"

Yang Hongbo flew hundreds of miles and found a cave to go into. He first activated his talent enhancement card, and instantly his spiritual root was upgraded to the third grade.

At this moment, the system announced: "Host's talent has been upgraded to Rank 3. Congratulations, host, you have gained 200 Clan Development Points!"

After using the cultivation card for another fifty years, his cultivation level soared to the fourth stage of Foundation Establishment.

At this moment, the system spoke again: "The host's cultivation level has been raised to the fourth stage of Foundation Establishment, and two hundred family points have been obtained."

Yang Hongbo found this very interesting. He took out a Foundation Establishment Realm Azure Spirit Pill and swallowed it. Soon after, the system announced: "Host's cultivation has increased by a tiny bit, gaining one family point!"

"Damn, so little!"

Yang Hongbo decided to stay in this cave temporarily. Once a month had passed, he would rush home. During this time, some Qi Refining stage demon beasts entered the cave, but they all became Yang Hongbo's meal.

It's been a long time since I've had barbecue. In the past seventy or eighty years, apart from going home to eat something nice, I've basically never had barbecue.

With only two days left in the month, Yang Hongbo had his last barbecue. Although eating can accumulate waste in the body, it's okay to have a barbecue every now and then.

Yang Hongbo returned to Lianbo Mountain. When the ancestor and grandfather saw him, they were shocked. Yang Hongbo's cultivation had actually reached the second stage of Foundation Establishment (in fact, this was because Yang Hongbo suppressed his cultivation at the second stage)!

"Ancestor, Grandpa, actually I explored a secret realm this month and found these treasures inside!"

Yang Hongbo took out two Longevity Pills from his storage bag and handed them to his ancestor and grandfather: "Ancestor, these are Longevity Pills. They can increase a cultivator's lifespan by fifty years and a mortal's lifespan by one hundred years. Take them now!"

The ancestor and grandfather took the longevity pills. The ancestor looked at them again and again, while the grandfather grabbed a handful and threw them into his mouth. Immediately afterward, a powerful force suddenly burst out from the grandfather's body, and he automatically advanced to the seventh level of Foundation Establishment.

"Congratulations, host! Your grandfather's cultivation has reached the seventh level of Foundation Establishment. You have received 500 system family points!"

Seeing his grandfather's condition, the ancestor also put the longevity pill into his mouth, and suddenly, his cultivation, which had not been active for many years, broke through to the eighth level of Foundation Establishment.

"Congratulations, host, your ancestor's cultivation has been raised to the eighth level of Foundation Establishment. You have received 700 points for the system's family development."
