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

"Buzz!"

A wisp of spiritual smoke rose from the bamboo forest, soaring straight into the sky.

After a moment's thought, Li Chengxuan finally decided to immediately notify his family.

As a member of a family of cultivators, this is what I should do.

Based on his memories of this life and his interactions with his family over the past two years, he believed that his family would not treat him unfairly.

Furthermore, one of his long-term goals is to rise to a high position in the family; he cannot be short-sighted and lose sight of the bigger picture.

Ten days later.

"Where is Cheng Xuan?"

A hurried sound came from above the bamboo forest, followed by the spiritual pressure of someone who had reached the peak of Qi Refining.

Under the spiritual pressure, even through the array, all the small animals in the bamboo forest trembled and lived in constant fear.

"Elder Deping, I am here."

Li Chengxuan opened the formation and greeted him leisurely.

"Where is the thief?"

In the void, Li Deping, with Cheng Liang's forehead protruding, asked in confusion.

"There were no thieves; I simply had something to discuss with my family," he said frankly.

"Chengxuan, Chengxuan, what is it that makes you so eager to contact the family? This spirit smoke was specially bought from Yunxia Sect, and you've just wasted it. Go to the Punishment Hall and find Elder Dekuan later."

Li Deping shook his head, feeling extremely angry.

He had high hopes for Li Chengxuan and intended to groom him as the core of the next generation of the family, but now he has made such a mistake.

"Elder Deping, please take a look first."

Li Chengxuan smiled, completely unconcerned.

"What could it be? Even if we discovered top-grade spirit bamboo, we wouldn't need to use spirit smoke."

Li Deping neither agreed nor disagreed, and landed in the bamboo forest.

next moment.

"What?!"

"A top-grade, first-tier spiritual cave!"

He stared at the well, his eyes wide with disbelief.

"Chengxuan, you've really given me a big surprise."

Li Deping ran happily toward the well, smelling it again and again.

"Now I don't have to go to the Hall of Punishments, right?"

Lee Seung-hyun smiled and said.

"Haha, you little rascal, not only are you blameless, but you've actually done something good. Tell me, what do you want?"

Li Deping looked at Li Chengxuan with satisfaction in his eyes.

"I want a high-grade magic artifact, preferably made from this spirit bamboo."

Lee Seung-hyun said frankly.

At this time, don't be modest and say anything about not seeking anything in return. Doing so will only leave others with the impression of being a fool.

On the contrary, directly and frankly stating one's needs will make the other party feel sincerity, since rewarding merit is a long-standing family tradition.

"Sure, if you're not in a hurry, you can wait a bit. I'll go find Uncle Changshu to refine this magical artifact."

Li Deping not only readily agreed, but also promoted him.

Li Changshu is one of only two Foundation Establishment cultivators in the family. More importantly, his skills in alchemy and artifact crafting have both reached the second tier.

He was known as "the great tree of the Li family, unparalleled in both alchemy and craftsmanship."

"Then thank you very much, elder."

Li Chengxuan bowed and thanked him.

If a second-tier weapon refiner were to refine a first-tier magic weapon, the final product would definitely be better than that of a first-tier weapon refiner.

"Not bad, Chengxuan. Keep up the good work, and you will surely have a place in the family in the future."

Li Deping patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him.

This was no empty promise. In his view, Li Chengxuan was of decent quality, of good character, quick-witted, and a descendant of loyal martyrs.

Now that he has made contributions to the family, he is clearly a rising star in the Li family, so he is willing to cultivate him.

"Thank you for your guidance, elders. I will live up to your expectations."

Li Chengxuan looked excited and mentioned the clan elders twice in one sentence.

"It was my family's cultivation that brought me here; it was not my doing."

Li Deping waved his hand, but his expression was very joyful.

......

Half a month later.

Li Deping went to the Green Bamboo Forest again and set up a spirit-gathering array around the pool, making the spiritual energy concentration here reach the highest level of the first tier.

Because of Li Chengxuan's discovery, he was not immediately transferred away. During his term of duty, he could use the spiritual site at will.

In addition, after his term of guarding the mountain is over, he can cut down a piece of spirit bamboo and bring it back to Zhuxia Mountain. The family will then provide other materials to forge a high-grade magic weapon flying sword for him.

Finally, the defensive formation was reinforced, making it strong enough to withstand attacks from cultivators at the peak of Qi Refining.

"Do you have any further comments on how the family is being handled?"

Li Deping asked before leaving.

"No." Li Chengxuan replied without hesitation.

The family handled the situation better than he had expected. They not only allowed him to continue guarding the area, but also used a spirit-gathering array to further increase the concentration of spiritual energy, and they even agreed to provide him with a high-grade magic artifact.

To be honest, this even surprised him.

In his previous life, after joining the Baohua Sect, the rewards given by the sect never exceeded his contributions, and often were even lower.

Why?

First, he joined the sect later in life and was not a direct descendant.

Second, high-ranking cultivators within the sect treat low-ranking cultivators like cattle and horses.

But the Li family doesn't exist.

Firstly, he was a direct descendant of the Communist Party.

Secondly, Li Deping, as a powerful Qi Refining Perfection cultivator, was several levels above him in status and position, yet he repeatedly asked for his opinion.

After seeing Li Deping off.

Li Chengxuan simply built a small house in the spiritual cave and secluded himself to cultivate without leaving the cave, striving to maximize the use of the spiritual cave.

......

Time flies, and soon it will be time for the end of the term of service.

For more than a year, apart from killing a few ordinary people who tried to sneak into the bamboo forest, nothing else has happened.

That day, inside the Spirit Cave Hut.

Li Chengxuan closed his eyes slightly, his hands forming hand seals. As his hand seals changed, all the spiritual energy within a radius of several feet poured into his body, and was then refined into magical power by the Nine Tribulations Thunder Scripture.

The magical power within his body gradually gathered into a river, rushing straight towards the junction of the fourth and fifth meridians.

Before long, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and the pain of his meridians being opened swept through his entire body. This pain was no less than that of having ten fingers chopped off.

But Li Chengxuan only frowned slightly, then with a thought, he took out the only four spirit stones he had left.

Immediately.

A flash of lightning shattered the spirit stone, turning it into precise spiritual energy, which he absorbed into his body. It then transformed into magical power, which he used to impact the connection points of his meridians.

After a while.

"wave"

The connection between the meridians was broken, and a large amount of magical power surged into the fifth meridian, breaking through the fifth level of Qi Refining!

"Not bad. I originally thought it would take another six months to break through, but thanks to this spiritual acupoint."

Li Chengxuan opened his eyes and was slightly pleased.

He was one step closer to his goal of reaching the late stage of Qi Refining.

Breakthroughs in cultivation depend on four factors: spiritual root, cultivation technique, cultivation environment, and resources.

His spiritual root is fixed and cannot be changed, and the cultivation technique he uses is of the Heavenly Rank, which is already the strongest.

Therefore, only the latter two factors affected his cultivation.

"After leaving the Green Bamboo Forest, it will be difficult to find a top-grade first-level spiritual cave again. As for cultivation resources, ordinary Qi-boosting pills are not very effective, and I can't afford higher-grade pills. Besides, I don't have a single spirit stone left, so I can't even afford Qi-boosting pills."

Li Chengxuan was only happy for a moment before he fell into deep thought again.

In addition, he also gained the trust of the family's senior management, which he did quite well.

Regardless of other factors, Li Deping had high hopes for the other party. As the clan elder in charge of the General Affairs Hall, the other party's status in the entire Li family was second only to the two Foundation Establishment cultivators. A little bit of resources would be enough for him.

Not to mention, once his cultivation improves, he can use the other party's help to become a high-ranking member of the family.

You must understand that cultivation level is cultivation level, and status is status. Cultivation level can influence status, but it is not the only factor. Unless you can fight against an entire sect by yourself, then there is no need to stay in this sect.

To be honest, Li Chengxuan had suffered a loss in this very place in his previous life. That "death mission" was assigned by a cultivator whose cultivation level was lower than his but whose sect status was higher.

But as long as he wants to stay in the sect and remain within these rules, he has no choice but to obey the other party's arrangements.

In this life, he will not make that mistake again; he wants both cultivation and status.

Of course, once he reaches the Nascent Soul stage and completely transcends the rules, the situation will be different.
