Cultivation in a Family: Starting as a Reincarnation of a Core Formation Master

The next morning, as dawn broke, a handsome young man carrying a long sword walked down the pillar and down the mountain.

After leaving the mountain, Li Chengxuan did not fly, but instead rode a blue-scaled horse.

This horse is a hybrid of a low-level demon beast and an ordinary steed, and it has the ability to travel five hundred miles a day.

After all, he was only at the fourth level of Qi Refining, and his magical power was scarce, making it impossible for him to sustain long-distance flight.

Moreover, if something unexpected happens on the way, and one's magic power is exhausted from flying, then things could get very bad.

Traveling at breakneck speed, braving the elements.

More than half a month later, Li Chengxuan arrived at the "Green Bamboo Forest". At that moment, what he saw was a bamboo forest shrouded in mist.

This bamboo forest was originally just an ordinary bamboo forest, but twenty years ago, some strange changes occurred. Several bamboo stalks in the forest generated spiritual energy fluctuations and became spiritual bamboo.

When the family learned of this, they immediately set up a formation here and sent people to guard it, since this place was originally under the jurisdiction of the Li family.

Bamboo has many uses: bamboo leaves can be used to make talismans, bamboo shoots can be used as spiritual food, bamboo sap can be used as medicine, and most importantly, the bamboo body can be used to make magical artifacts.

This bamboo is straight and sharp, hard yet flexible, making it ideal for crafting sword-like magical weapons.

In this world's memories, there was a member of the Li family who, wielding the Green Bamboo Spirit Sword, killed an enemy who was a minor realm higher than himself.

......

"Did you come to replace me?"

A deep male voice came from deep within the bamboo forest.

"Indeed, Chengxuan was ordered by Elder Deping to go and take over from his elder brother."

After Li Chengxuan finished speaking, he made a hand gesture, and the mission plaque at his waist emitted a faint spiritual light.

"So you are Chengxuan's cousin. Please wait a moment."

Not long after.

hum!

The mist before them slowly dissipated, and a young cultivator dressed in red hurriedly flew out of the bamboo forest.

"Greetings, Clan Brother Cheng Jiu."

The young man in red before us is named Li Chengjiu. He is twenty-three years old, at the fifth level of Qi Refining, and possesses a low-grade spiritual root.

In my memory, the other party was rather unlucky, with a fire spirit energy sensitivity of nineteen, just a little short of a mid-grade spiritual root.

But a little short is a little short, and the family did not make an exception, so the other party could only receive resources for a low-grade spiritual root.

Some people felt indignant on his behalf, saying that his family was stingy and unwilling to make an exception even though it was just a little short. He, however, retorted:

"If we make an exception for me, Lee Seung-gu, today, and another person with a sensitivity level of eighteen appears in the future, should we also make an exception for them?"

It just so happens that Li Chengxuan's spiritual root sensitivity is 21, a little more. The two of them had joked before that they would give this extra bit to each other.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Li Chengxuan entered the bamboo forest under the other party's guidance.

From the outside, this place looks no different from any other bamboo forest in the mortal world, except that the bamboo is taller. There's no fundamental difference. Where is the spirit bamboo...?

His thoughts were in his mind, but his face remained calm and composed, revealing nothing.

Lee Seung-gu, unaware of his thoughts, continued explaining as they walked:

"Although the Green Bamboo Forest has the name of a forest, there are very few spiritual bamboos. There are only a dozen or so deep in the bamboo forest, and that is the place that truly needs to be guarded."

"This forest is surrounded by a small mist array and contains a trapping and killing array. With your Qi Refining Level 4 strength, it would be extremely difficult to break through this array unless a Qi Refining Perfection expert personally arrives."

"Of course you don't need to worry. Let alone the Qi Refining Perfection stage, even someone at the late Qi Refining stage wouldn't come here given the quality of this bamboo forest."

"What you really need to guard against are the wild beasts in the mountains and reckless mortals."

After a while.

A small patch of emerald green bamboo appeared in Li Chengxuan's sight.

These spirit bamboos are much smaller than the green bamboos on the outside, with the tallest being only about ten feet tall. However, their bamboo bodies are round and flawless, emitting a faint green light. Even a three-year-old child can recognize their extraordinary nature.

To the left of Lingzhu is a simple courtyard, and to the right is a dug pond.

"Three mid-grade first-tier spirit bamboos and ten low-grade first-tier spirit bamboos. Please count them."

Lee Seung-gu took out the mission manual and handed it to Lee Seung-hyun.

After receiving the book, the latter did not sign it immediately. Instead, he carefully counted the spirit bamboo, confirmed its quantity, grade, and the completeness of its spiritual roots, before signing it.

"The small courtyard on the left is the living quarters. If you don't like it, you can rebuild it. Except for this spirit bamboo, everything else can be moved."

"The pond on the right is specifically for watering the spirit bamboo. It needs to be watered every ten days, more is better than less, and someone will come to deliver water every six months."

"For details, you can refer to this booklet; it also contains information on how to manipulate formations."

Afterwards, Li Chengjiu handed the mission booklet and a formation token to Li Chengxuan.

After the handover was completed, Li Chengxuan escorted Li Chengjiu out of the bamboo forest.

Before leaving, Lee Seung-gu turned back and glanced at him, saying solemnly:

"If anything were to happen, I urge you, my cousin, to prioritize your life. As for this bamboo grove, it is best to give it up."

"Chengxuan will remember this."

Li Chengxuan cupped his hands in greeting.

.......

Huh?

"The direction that Brother Chengjiu left in was not Zhuxia Mountain, but Qinghefang Market."

Li Chengxuan gazed at the other person's retreating figure, his face thoughtful.

According to family rules, after completing a task, one must return to the General Affairs Hall to report on one's duties as soon as possible. Given Li Chengjiu's character, it's impossible for him to break this rule.

"That means that going to Qinghefang Market is also a family mission. The fact that they are in such a hurry that even the Hui Muslim reporting for duty has been waived means that the shortage of family members is more serious than I expected."

At the same time, he thought of the clan leader, who had been in seclusion to heal his injuries and had not yet shown his face, and a sense of worry arose in him.

But given Li Chengxuan's current cultivation level, there's not much to worry about; he can only take it one step at a time.

Ten days later.

Beside the bamboo grove and pond, Li Chengxuan focused his mind and performed a series of hand seals.

Soon a gentle breeze flew out from his sleeve.

Whoosh!

A gentle breeze blew into the pool, creating ripples. Then, with a change of technique, the breeze gathered and transformed into a gust of wind.

A gust of wind howled, stirring up the spiritual water in the pool. The wind and water mingled like rain, dripping perfectly between the thirteen spiritual bamboos, ensuring that not a single drop of spiritual water was exposed to the elements.

"rustling"

After being watered with spiritual water, the bamboo grove trembled slightly, its leaves swaying, and the spiritual light emanating from its bamboo body became even brighter.

"Fortunately, I had practiced this Lesser Rain-Gathering Technique in my previous life, which is why it is so watertight. In this way, the saved spiritual water can be used for cultivation."

Lee Seung-hyun smiled faintly.

Bamboo should not be watered with ordinary water, otherwise it will be contaminated with impure air, which is not conducive to its growth.

The spiritual water in this pool was specially drawn from the family's "Xiaoze Lake". The concentration of spiritual energy is not low. Using this water to irrigate the bamboo can accelerate its growth and has a small chance of helping it break through to the next level.

The earliest spirit bamboo was only of the first-grade low quality. It was only because the Li family cultivators watered it day after day for twenty years that spirit bamboo of the first-grade middle quality appeared.

Of course, this spiritual water is also beneficial to cultivators. Although its boost to cultivation speed is not as great as that of the Qi-boosting pill, it is superior in that it will not cause the foundation to become unstable, and it will be a steady and long-term benefit.

However, the total amount of spiritual water is fixed, and there is not much left after watering the spiritual bamboo, so it is not of much significance to the cultivators who guarded the area in the past.

But since he can precisely control the spiritual water so that it doesn't spill, the spiritual water that should have been wasted is now his.

In this way, he can cultivate with the help of spiritual water.

This is also the family's tacit agreement; as long as the Spirit Bamboo is not lost, the family will not ask any other questions.

"Gurgle!"

Li Chengxuan drank a large gulp of spiritual water and immediately felt a surge of pure spiritual energy flow into his limbs and bones, just like drinking a mouthful of ice water on a hot summer day.

"The spiritual energy environment deep in this bamboo forest has reached the middle grade of the first rank, which is enough for me to cultivate. In addition, with the spiritual water saved, the overall cultivation speed will be even faster than when I was at the foot of the pillar mountain."

"Such a good cultivation environment is far superior to what I had in my previous life."

When he was a rogue cultivator, he worked as a "wheat harvester" for a Qi cultivation family, harvesting wheat during the day and sleeping in their cowshed at night.

This is because the cowshed contains a spiritual energy.

He even got into a fight with other wheat harvesters and only managed to check in after winning.
