Cultivating immortality through titles, without bottlenecks.

At the Wei family home, Old Master Wei and the eldest son's family members looked ashen-faced.

"The spiritual pool at home is not as good as before; it produced less true qi this time."

"One less, what should we do? The share of true qi has already been allocated, are we going to have to remove one person?"

Master Wei sighed:

"The fourth wife's child has the worst physique, so let's put it aside this time."

When Wei Cichen, from the fourth branch of the Wei family, learned of this, he looked indignant.

"If your true qi is insufficient, why should you remove my son?"

"I, Wei Cichen, fought and died for my family, suffering from chronic illness, and this is the end for me?"

Without true Qi, ordinary people cannot embark on the path of cultivation.

"Fourth brother, that's not what I meant. It's not that I'm not giving Zhong'er the true qi, it's just that I'm postponing it for one period."

"Five years later..."

Zhou Ninglu's face turned ashen:

"Five years? How many five-year periods does Zhong'er have? After sixteen, it's twenty-one. If he misses the best years for cultivation, how can he talk about the Great Dao?"

The couple was furious, and the eldest wife, unsure how to persuade them, could only leave with the following words:

"This matter was arranged by Father. If you two have any objections, go and ask Father."

He then turned and left.

This world is a world of immortals, and the Wei family is one of the families that cultivates Qi.

Their strength is weak, and their clan resources are even more limited. Competition between the different branches is fierce, and there's no shortage of backstabbing and sabotage.

"Father, Mother..."

Looking at the two faces, both familiar and blurry, Wei Zhong was filled with indescribable emotions.

He is a transmigrator who has awakened the wisdom of his past life.

At first, Mingxi was delighted to have transmigrated here, but later learned that his aptitude was not very good.

Now, even the true Qi that leads to spiritual cultivation is being taken away.

Upon seeing their child, the couple suppressed their anger and put on smiles.

"It's alright, Zhong'er. It's just a wisp of true qi. Your parents have a way to deal with it."

Wei Zhong could tell that the two were forcing smiles.

Of the five branches of the Wei family, the fourth branch, where Wei Cichen lived, was the weakest.

The other branches of the sect have spread and produced many disciples.

However, the fourth branch only had Wei Cichen and his wife, and to make matters worse, they only had one child, Wei Zhong.

If Wei Zhong is unable to embark on the path of cultivation, the fourth branch of the family will be wiped out once again and expelled into the mortal realm.

"My Wei family was once a family that produced [Title] cultivators. How did we end up in this state?" Wei Cichen said with resentment.

"title?"

Wei Zhong couldn't help but draw his attention to what was under his eyes, where a virtual projection was displayed.

[Name: Wei Zhong]

Title: Wallbreaker.

[Note: You broke through the barriers of the world and came here, receiving the blessing of the power of heaven and earth, and were given the name "Breaker".]

The ability to break through barriers has endless wonders.

[Your cultivation is smooth, without bottlenecks; there are no obstacles in your practice; crafting talismans, refining pills, forging weapons... there are no hindrances before you.]

Wei Zhong had already inquired about this during the time he had been in this world.

The title, or "honorary name," is a special ability bestowed upon cultivators by this world.

It is close to the essence of a law, and its power is immense.

Those who receive the title are all either outstanding talents in their respective realms or leaders of major sects.

Matching its power is the extremely high difficulty of obtaining the title.

Wei Zhong didn't know why he received the so-called "Breaker" title. Perhaps in the eyes of the will of heaven and earth, his ability to cross over to this place was a great achievement in itself.

"The fact that there are no bottlenecks in cultivation is quite a powerful ability, perfectly offsetting the negative effect of my poor talent. As for the various arts and crafts I will cultivate later, the lack of obstacles is rather terrifying."

"But without true Qi, how can I enter the path of cultivation?"

Seemingly sensing Wei Zhong's worry, Wei Cichen forced a smile.

"Don't worry, Zhong'er. I gained a lot of experience in my youth and have connections with many people. I will definitely find you a source of true Qi."

After saying that, he handed Wei Zhong a spirit stone and told him to go out and have some fun.

"My lord, could it be to the south?"

Zhou Ninglu looked puzzled, and Wei Cichen shook his head:

"Zhong'er's aptitude is not enough; she will most likely not be able to climb up in the south."

"However, I had a favor to a fellow Daoist from the Qingya Sect in my early years, so I can probably get Zhong'er into the sect."

"Join the Qingya Sect?" Zhou Ninglu sighed. "Escape the infighting within the clan; it might be a good thing for Zhong'er."

Holding the spirit stones, Wei Zhong hadn't gone far when he bumped into a roguish-looking member of the Wei family. The man leaned over and grinned as he looked at the spirit stones in Wei Zhong's hand.

"Brother Wei, we've got more spirit stones. Let's go to Chunfeng Tower and have some fun."

This person is named Wei Rongyu, and he is one of Wei Zhong's cronies in the Wei family.

As for Chunfeng Tower, it is a brothel in this world.

Wei Zhong recalled his predecessor's conduct and couldn't help but shake his head inwardly.

This person, relying on his parents who are spiritual practitioners, behaves in an extremely dissolute manner...

It was precisely because of the predecessor's behavior and poor cultivation aptitude, coupled with the fact that the fourth branch was originally weak, that they were reduced to the point of being stripped of their True Qi quota.

"I'm not going," Wei Zhong shook his head, much to Wei Rong's surprise.

"By the way, Rongyu, do you know where I can get True Qi?"

"True Qi? That stuff is hard to come by. My clan's spiritual spring produces it regularly, but the number of people who can get it is limited."

"What about the others?"

Wei Rongyu seemed to have guessed something:

"Then there are other forces... However, the Lai Ke Fang in the city holds True Qi auctions every now and then."

"Prices range from three hundred low-grade spirit stones to over a thousand..."

Upon hearing this, Wei Zhong shook his head repeatedly and clenched a spirit stone in his hand.

The couple, Wei Cichen and his wife, received less than a hundred yuan in spirit money per year.

The two still needed to cultivate, and the number of spirit stones they had accumulated was pitifully small.

Having learned the information, Wei Zhong was about to leave when a woman in red happened to pass by. She looked at Wei Zhong and the other man with disgust and spat inwardly before leaving.

"Fangfei is quite arrogant. I heard she has good talent and will soon receive special training from the clan. Even the second branch of the family will have its status elevated as a result."

When one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven; this is true even in a small family like the Wei family, which specializes in Qi cultivation.

A day later, Wei Zhongzheng was worried about where to find true Qi.

Wei Cichen then called him to his side and pointed to the Taoist priest beside him, saying:

"This is Master Liu of the Qingya Sect."

Observing the expressions on Wei Zhong's face, he immediately bowed and paid his respects.

"Junior Wei Zhong greets the Daoist Master."

The latter stroked his long beard and smiled slightly.

"Your son is so quick-witted; he's not as incompetent as others say."

Wei Cichen was pleasantly surprised by Wei Zhong's reaction:

"Could it be that Zhong'er has finally come to her senses?"

"Not at all, Brother Liu, you flatter me. I'll be sure to trouble you when Zhong'er joins the family."

The other party shook their head:

"Brother Wei, please don't be in a hurry. Let me examine your son's talent first."

After saying that, he used a cone-shaped instrument to pierce Wei Zhong's arm, and a thin line inside rose up until it submerged half of the arm.

"A low-grade spiritual root, it's a bit lacking, but it barely meets the entry-level standard."

Wei Cichen's expression brightened with joy:

"May I ask, Brother Liu, when did you begin your studies?"

The other party stroked his beard:

"Three days later!"

Through his father's connections, Wei Zhong successfully entered the Qingya Sect with only the qualifications of a low-ranking official.

"Now that you have entered our sect, you are bestowed with true qi and have gained a worthy teacher."

Wei Zhong bowed three times and offered tea, thus formally becoming a disciple.

Master's surname is Yang and his given name is Jingting. He is a cultivator at the seventh level of Qi Refining.

He was overweight and had no air of otherworldly grace; he looked more like an ordinary cook.

"Although the sect requires me to accept many disciples, I am not a casual person."

"After today's grand ceremony, all of you will be registered disciples of this sect. If you wish to be promoted to a personal disciple, you must at least reach the fourth level of Qi Refining."

After saying that, he waved his hand dismissively:

"Alright, the true qi is bestowed. You may all take the cultivation manuals and go to sense the qi."

"If you fail to sense the Qi within the allotted time, you might even be expelled from the school..."

Wei Zhong and the others took their leave.

"I never expected to become Master Yang's disciple this time!"

"What's going on? Does this person have something to say about it?"

The disciple then gave a sly smile:

"It's nothing, it's just that Master Yang has a rather beautiful daughter, and we, as his junior brothers, have the advantage of being close to her."

Wei Zhong thought he was going to hear some confidential information, but it turned out to be just the old lecher's fantasy.

"Alright, this Hidden Dragon Cave is where you will sense the Qi. Each of you should choose a spot to sense the Qi and enter the Dao."

"You have one month to prove it. If you fail by then, I will personally carry you out of this house."

The senior disciple, though not angry, exuded authority. He left a single instruction before pushing Wei Zhong and the others into the cave.

After entering the cave, Wei Zhong discovered that it was a completely different world inside, with the winding cave divided into stone chambers of various sizes.

Wei Zhong randomly picked a spot and found food and other items inside.

"One month is enough time; I wonder if it will be successful..."

Wei Zhong was not very confident in his own abilities.

……

At the Wei family residence, Wei Cichen glared angrily at his father:

"What? You stole my son's true qi, and now you want to steal my four families' spiritual fields?"

The Wei family is not a large family; their strongest member is only at the mid-stage of Qi Refining, and their resources are limited.

The several acres of land were divided among the houses.

Now that the fourth branch of the family has lost power, and the second branch has produced a daughter of exceptional talent, it is natural that they will squeeze the second branch's living space.

The eldest son looked at his fourth brother's angry face, his expression full of helplessness:

"Fourth brother, this matter was Father's decision, I really..."

Wei Yuming also tried to gain influence, but how could his voice compare to that of the head of the family?

"Father promised that this sacred land would only be given to the second branch of the family for five years."

"Five years from now, when the Spirit Pool produces its true Qi, it will be given to Zhong'er, and this Spirit Field will also be returned to you..."

Wei Cichen almost laughed out of anger.

With a flick of his sleeve:

"No need. My second brother sees me as a snake, why should I stay in the Wei family?"

"Today, I, Wei Cichen, leave the Wei clan to make a living on my own."

……

"Ci Chen is still as impetuous as ever. How can the family bloodline be severed so easily?"

"Have you found out where they moved to?"

The third wife stepped forward:

"My fourth brother rented a courtyard in Songlinfang."

"Songlinfang, isn't that Qingya Sect's territory?"

The three families nodded:

"That's right. Ci Chen seems to have connections with the Qingya Sect, and he specially sent Zhong'er to the Qingya Sect."

The old patriarch slapped his thigh:

"You have such a relationship with Ci Chen? Why didn't you say so earlier?"

After a long pause, he sighed:

"Alright, alright, there's still some blood sprout rice in the storeroom. Find an opportunity to send it to Cichen."

"We are all members of the Wei family, and we cannot allow a small conflict to create a rift between us."

After saying that, he changed the subject:

"How is Fangfei doing?"

"My second brother said it went quite smoothly. Fangfei is quite talented, and with her good looks, she has already won the favor of that young master."

"That's good. If this matter succeeds, the Qingya Sect is nothing."
