Immortal Clan: I have a Tree of Creation

Chaotic space, before the Tree of Creation.

Zhou Chengnan looked at the lone green spiritual fruit hanging on the tree, feeling helpless.

More than three years have passed since the birth of the third son, Zhou Yuanqing, when this green spiritual fruit appeared on the Tree of Creation.

Unfortunately, it has taken more than three years and is still not fully mature.

The Liang Kingdom does not restrict the transmission of martial arts, and there are all kinds of martial arts techniques circulating among the people. Even in remote villages, it is not difficult to obtain techniques.

Most wealthy families with some assets will possess some martial arts techniques.

Regardless of whether one is suited for martial arts or not, it's always good to have some martial arts skills.

However, martial arts training requires physical strength and more meat to nourish the body, which ordinary people cannot afford to provide for martial artists.

The Zhou family has a family heirloom called "Tiger Subduing Skill".

Zhou Chengnan had been diligently practicing the Tiger Subduing Technique for several years, but due to a lack of sufficient resources, he remained stuck at the initial stage of the first level of Skin Refining, unable to make further progress.

Several years ago, the eldest son, Zhou Yuanshan, and the second son, Zhou Yuanyu, were born, and the two white spiritual fruits they produced broke the deadlock.

The first ginkgo fruit not only allowed him to directly reach the Perfection of the Skin Refining Realm, but also enabled him to break through to the Flesh Refining Realm.

The second ginkgo nut was also quite effective, allowing him to successfully enter the third realm of martial arts, the tendon refining stage.

Now the Zhou family's life is getting better and better, and they can often buy some meat to nourish their bodies.

Zhou Chengnan had a clear plan: once his martial arts skills improved, ideally reaching the Blood Refining Realm, he could find a job in the county town.

Only by becoming a constable in the county government can one be considered to have truly embarked on the right path.

The Blood Refining Realm is still a long way off; it cannot be achieved overnight.

The effects of the first two ginkgo fruits were so amazing that the third green spiritual fruit brought by the third son could not possibly be worse than the ginkgo fruits.

This green fruit will most likely help him significantly improve his martial arts cultivation.

Unfortunately, Zhou Chengnan waited for more than three years, but still couldn't wait for the green fruit to ripen.

"Never mind, no rush, it will mature eventually." He shook his head, a strange thought rising in his mind.

It is now certain that as long as one gives birth to offspring, it will promote the growth of the Creation Tree.

But three spirit fruits are still too few.

If only I could have more children...

Not too many, seven or eight children might be enough to help him directly enter the Innate Realm!

Zhou Chengnan has gradually lost interest in cultivating immortality and seeking the Dao.

Providing a better life for my wife and children is the most important thing.

If you practice martial arts diligently, you can become a martial arts master who can move swiftly and freely in the future, which would be quite good.

"Let's find an opportunity to discuss this with Shuzhen, save some money, and have another child in a couple of years."

"As for taking a concubine..." Zhou Chengnan gently shook his head.

It wasn't that he didn't want to take a concubine, but rather that the circumstances didn't allow it.

"Let's talk about it later."

Immediately, a thought crossed his mind, and he wanted to leave the chaotic space.

Just then.

Suddenly, a pleasant sound rang in my ears, like the sound of a gentle spring or a low murmur in an empty valley.

"This is......."

Zhou Chengnan's heart stirred slightly, and he looked up, instantly becoming excited.

"The green plums are almost ripe!"

On the third branch of the Creation Tree, a green spiritual fruit was trembling gently, and countless tiny points of light gathered around it.

Soon, the countless points of light dissipated.

The blue spiritual fruit fell silently.

[Low-grade Wood Spirit Root • Missing]

"A low-grade...wood spirit root?" Zhou Chengnan's mouth dropped open in utter astonishment.

From beginning to end, he believed that the fruit produced by the Tree of Creation could only increase power.

To everyone's surprise, a low-grade wood spirit root actually popped out from the green fruit!

He has been in this world for eight years, so he is naturally familiar with the concept of spiritual roots.

The so-called spiritual root is actually a threshold for becoming a cultivator.

Everyone has a spiritual root, and everyone's spiritual root contains all five elements.

However, the vast majority of people's spiritual roots do not meet the standard of low-grade spiritual roots.

Those whose spiritual roots have not reached the lower grade will find it difficult to make any progress on the path of cultivation.

In the vast Anshan County, cultivators with spiritual roots are extremely rare; most are born into a few truly powerful families, namely, immortal cultivation families.

Zhou Chengnan held the green fruit, a strange look flashing in his eyes.

"The plans have changed!"

In fact, spiritual roots are not the biggest obstacle preventing mortals from embarking on the path to immortality; spiritual roots are merely a qualification.

The current predicament is that the inheritance of immortality is controlled by powerful families, sects, and government officials.

Even if an ordinary family gives birth to a child with spiritual roots, it is very difficult to obtain cultivation methods and resources.

Unless... you become one of them!

But getting accepted by those people is easier said than done.

But now that I have a spiritual root, it's definitely not a bad thing.

Without hesitation, Zhou Chengnan put the green fruit into his mouth, and a strange aura enveloped his entire body.

.......

three days later.

Zhou Chengnan felt that he had become somewhat different.

Although I cannot truly feel the existence of spiritual roots, I always seem to sense a different kind of vitality in the world.

Furthermore, the power associated with the green fruit propelled martial arts cultivation to a new level, allowing one to break through the tendon-refining stage and enter the bone-refining stage.

"I'm going to the county town."

"So eager?" Wang Shufang was a little surprised and handed her husband her coat.

"Something urgent has come up; I'll explain in detail when I get back."

Zhou Chengnan smiled, hugged his wife, and kissed her.

Jinyang Village is quite a distance from Anshan County.

Fortunately, Zhou Chengnan has now reached the fourth stage of bone refining, so traveling is not difficult.

One hour later.

Anshan County, Guyunfang.

Gu Yunfang is one of the largest shops in the county town, and one of the few shops that sells spiritual items for cultivating immortality.

Zhou Chengnan came here for only one purpose.

—Buy a talisman!

That's right, he wants to buy spirit talismans, spirit talismans for cultivators.

Not all talismans are unattainable.

For example, the "Spirit Testing Talisman" that we are going to buy today is a very basic talisman, and it is the cheapest among all the spiritual items in Gu Yun Fang.

Even such a basic talisman still costs ten taels of silver.

A full ten taels of silver...that's almost half a year's income for the Zhou family, enough to buy dozens of catties of top-quality local pork.

Zhou Chengnan felt a pang of regret, but he had no choice but to spend the large sum of money.

"A spirit-testing talisman, ten taels of silver." The shopkeeper pulled out a yellowed talisman, his eyebrows lowered, seemingly not very interested.

"Thank you for your help!"

Zhou Chengnan dared not delay, handing over the silver with his right hand and taking the talisman with his left.

He didn't leave in a hurry, but pondered for a moment before asking, "Shopkeeper, does your shop sell cultivation techniques?"

"A cultivation technique?" The middle-aged shopkeeper's eyes widened, clearly surprised.

"Your child has developed spiritual roots?"

Zhou Chengnan smiled and shook his head, holding up the talisman in his hand: "Not yet, but this is just to give you something to look forward to..."

The shopkeeper chuckled to himself; in truth, he had seen plenty of such delusional country bumpkins.

He bent down and took out a wooden tray, on which were neatly arranged more than a dozen books on martial arts techniques.

[Qi-Inducing Technique], [Eternal Spring Exercise], [Wood Element Technique], [Water Element Technique]...

Zhou Chengnan's eyes lit up.

"May I ask, shopkeeper, what are the prices of these martial arts techniques?"

The middle-aged shopkeeper casually pulled out a book called "Qi-Inducing Manual": "One thousand taels of silver."

"One thousand taels?"

Zhou Chengnan's heart skipped a beat.
