Establishing a Clan in the Eastern Wilderness: A Daily Divination, Cultivating Longevity in a Grotto

Li's father said from the side:

"The spiritual energy in the underground river behind the mountain is slightly denser than in other parts of the mountain, where a lot of first-grade low-level 'Water-Nourishing Grass' has grown. Although it cannot be used for medicine or alchemy, it is perfect as food for the Fire Cloud Chickens. Your mother and I have cleared a piece of land by the underground river and built a simple poultry house. We will raise them there for now, and their droppings can be used to feed the 'Silver Scale Fish' fry that I plan to introduce later. It's a win-win situation."

Li Changsheng nodded; his father's arrangements were very thoughtful.

He then took out the ghost-head knife he had obtained from Cheng Laosan and handed it to Chen Wenyuan, who had rushed over upon hearing the news:

"Brother-in-law, this knife is a low-grade first-tier magic weapon. It is hard, powerful, and heavy, just right for you. Take it and refine it to familiarize yourself with it. After some time, when things calm down a bit, the two of us can go to the market together."

Chen Wenyuan took the heavy ghost-headed sword, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes, but also a trace of solemnity:

"Rest assured, Clan Chief, Wen Yuan will master this sword as soon as possible. I have heard about the Cheng family's affair; if they dare to attack, Wen Yuan will be the first to charge forward!"

Everyone dispersed to make their own arrangements.

Li Changsheng returned to the quiet room, closed the stone door, set up a simple restriction, and then focused his mind into his sea of ​​consciousness.

[Family Luck Value: 610/600]

As expected! Acquiring the Fire Cloud Chicken clan, obtaining the alchemy inheritance, and eliminating the potential threat Cheng Laosan brought a huge increase in the family's fortune!

The value jumped directly from 350 to 610, enough to unlock the fourth page of the Heavenly Book!

"Open the fourth page!" Li Changsheng said without hesitation.

Deep within the sea of ​​consciousness, the fourth page of the "Book of Destiny" unfolded with a thunderous roar amidst dazzling golden light!

A phantom image of a destiny seed, shaped like a tender sprout, vibrant green and radiating vitality and natural charm, materialized, accompanied by the following annotation:

【Abundant Harvest Destiny:】

Those who are born with this destiny and spiritual seed possess a keen sensitivity to the wood element and the spiritual energy of water and soil in the world. They have exceptional talent in cultivating spiritual plants and growing spiritual grains, and can slightly enhance the growth rate and quality of the spiritual plants they care for. They are also more likely to discover mutations or advancement opportunities in spiritual plants.

[Rank: Not Ranked]

at the same time.

Another golden light of reward entered Li Changsheng's consciousness:

[Clan Chief's Power Unlocked: Within a five-mile radius, one can vaguely sense the approximate location of individuals who harbor significant malice or murderous intent towards the clan or towards you.]

"A life of abundance! And a sense of malice!" Li Changsheng was overjoyed.

Then, the familiar upgrade options reappeared.

"Improve your spiritual root aptitude!"

Mysterious power descended once more.

[Ninth-grade spiritual root: (60/100)]

My spiritual root aptitude has increased by another 10%!

He could clearly feel that his efficiency in absorbing and refining spiritual energy had significantly improved compared to before.

The celestial book conveyed a new clue:

[To unlock a new page, your family's luck value must reach 1000.]

"1000? It seems we'll need more family resources and a bit of luck."

He composed himself, first taking out the slightly damaged bone shield and beginning its refining process. It took him two hours to barely refine it. Although its defensive power was reduced due to the damage, it could still save his life in a critical moment.

Then, he took out the book "Basic Introduction to Alchemy", the first-grade low-level alchemy furnace, and the scattered alchemy materials in Cheng Laosan's storage bag.

"Qi Condensation Pill, Grade 1, commonly used by cultivators in the early stages of Qi Refining to assist in cultivation and accelerate the condensation of spiritual energy..." Li Changsheng carefully studied the pill formula and refining instructions.

He possesses the talent of alchemy (ninth grade), and although he has not actually practiced it, it is not difficult to understand.

After adjusting the conditions, clean the alchemy furnace, light the fire fueled by taro and cedar wood, and add the processed materials according to the steps.

The first time, the technique of condensing the elixir was unfamiliar, and the elixir failed to condense successfully, turning into a pile of waste.

The second time, the order of addition was wrong, and the medicinal properties clashed, causing a cloud of black smoke to explode.

The third time, the heat was too high, and the medicine was scorched.

……

Li Changsheng was not discouraged. He carefully reflected on each failure and adjusted the details.

Materials are being consumed at a rate visible to the naked eye.

However, his control over the heat, the fusion of medicinal properties, and the timing of condensation are also improving rapidly.

Finally, on the tenth time the furnace was opened.

The medicinal liquid in the alchemy furnace successfully fused and concentrated, and under the guidance of a specific incantation, it gradually condensed into three light blue pills, each the size of a longan, with faint cloud patterns on the surface and emitting a delicate fragrance!

"It's done!"

Li Changsheng's face lit up with joy as he carefully put away the three decent-quality Qi Condensation Pills in a jade bottle.

at the same time.

He felt his understanding of alchemy had deepened, and a subtle feeling emerged—he had officially stepped into the threshold of a first-tier low-grade alchemist! Although it was only the lowest tier, it was of extraordinary significance to the impoverished Li family.

After calming my excited emotions, as usual, I communicated with the celestial book through my thoughts:

"Today's divination result is clear!"

A surge of yellow light appeared, and new deduced text slowly unfolded:

In Qinglan Market, at the stall of the independent cultivator "Old Wu," among many old books and miscellaneous items, there was an unnamed animal skin book.

The latter half of this book contains the recipe for a first-grade low-level elixir called "Wind Control Pill," recorded in some kind of invisible potion.

This pill has only a minor effect on ordinary cultivators, slightly increasing their movement speed. However, it has a miraculous effect on spirit beasts with wind-type bloodlines, allowing them to prematurely unleash their bloodline potential. After consuming it, the flying horse "Little White" experienced accelerated growth, enabling its wings to truly "break through the air" and grant it the ability to fly.

A sharp light shone brightly in Li Changsheng's eyes!

"Wind-Riding Pill! Accelerates the beginner's growth, enabling true flight!"

The Li family doesn't even have a flying magical artifact, let alone a flying spirit pet.

If they obtain this pill again and activate Xiaobai's bloodline, it will be an extremely powerful trump card for the Li family in the future, whether it is communication, reconnaissance or emergency evacuation!

This elixir formula must be obtained!

Li Changsheng composed himself, left the meditation room, and strolled towards the spiritual fields behind the mountain.

The sunset painted the sky golden red, casting a warm hue over the terraced fields.

The three acres of seven-star grass have reached maturity. The edges of the narrow leaves are dotted with faint silvery-white spots. They sway gently in the wind and emit a unique fresh herbal scent.

Dozens of clansmen were busy working in the fields, their skills still a bit clumsy, but everyone's face showed anticipation and caution for the harvest.

Li Changming, the eldest cousin who managed the spirit fields, was standing on a high point on the field ridge, his gaze sweeping across the entire area, occasionally offering pointers. Upon seeing Li Changsheng approach, he quickly stepped forward, cupping his hands in greeting, "Clan Chief."

"No need for formalities, elder brother. You've worked hard." Li Changsheng's gaze swept over Tian Chou, then he was drawn to a figure.

It was a boy who looked only seven or eight years old, and he was even thinner and smaller than other children his age.

His movements as he harvested the seven-star grass were exceptionally swift. His small hands gripped a specially made sickle, his cuts precise and his bindings rapid. He worked diligently, almost without stopping for a moment. While the adult tribesmen around him were harvesting one row, he had already almost finished two. His small figure exuded a focus and tenacity beyond his years.
