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

A moment later, the bloodstains dissipated.

The spirit-testing platform returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.

But the jade tablet was completely blank.

There is no text.

Only those with low-grade spiritual roots would behave this way!

Hu Xiaoyue looked uneasy:

"Master, I'm sorry..."

after all.

The master spent a lot of money to buy her back, but he himself didn't even have a ninth-grade spiritual root. He was really ashamed.

Li Changsheng was somewhat excited at this moment.

really!

The Heavenly Book's hint is correct; this girl has a special constitution.

He glanced quickly at the top of Hu Xiaoyue's head.

Loyalty: 100/100

Hu Xiaoyue felt guilty.

Loyalty level skyrocketed from less than 90% to a percentage! It reached a value that the Heavenly Book could use to identify talent.

Li Changsheng immediately had a thought, and the Heavenly Book quietly began to operate.

【Hu Xiaoyue】

[Constitution: Blood Talisman Spirit Body (Unawakened)]

[Note: Individuals with this constitution are naturally attuned to the art of blood talismans. Their blood can be used to create blood talismans, far more powerful than ordinary talismans; their spirit can sense the true meaning of talismans, making their study of talismanic arts twice as effective. If discovered by someone with ulterior motives, they will be imprisoned and kept as a tool for talisman making for life.]

Blood Talisman Spirit!

He immediately thought of the "Blood Spirit Body Activation Secret Method" he had obtained before.

"Xiaoyue," Li Changsheng looked at her calmly, "your physique is called 'Blood Talisman Spirit Body.' It's not that it's not a high-grade physique, but rather a special physique that's even rarer than a high-grade spiritual root."

Hu Xiaoyue was stunned.

"I possess a secret technique that records how to awaken this physique. If you wish, I will assist you in awakening it. Furthermore, you will no longer need to address me as 'master,' and you will be treated the same as other members of the Li family. You are also a member of our Li family!"

"The Li family?!"

Hu Xiaoyue was stunned for a moment.

In the year or so since she entered the Li family, although she was called a "servant," no one had ever really treated her like a servant. Li Chang Le treated her like a younger sister, Li Shi treated her like a granddaughter, and even the elders in the clan always treated her kindly.

But deep down she still felt inferior to others.

But now that her owner has personally acknowledged her value, she is genuinely happy.

Starting today.

She has a family now.

Hu Xiaoyue bowed and said excitedly:

"We will follow the clan leader's orders!"

...

...

The Ascension Ceremony continued.

Once the Qi Refining Clan members have completed their tests, they are considered ordinary mortals.

When it was the turn of the boy who had been rescued from the dry well in Qing Shi Town, his grandmother, Madam Li, personally accompanied him to the spirit-testing platform.

The little boy's name was Li Changmo, the youngest son of the town mayor. His entire family of over ten people had perished at the hands of an evil cultivator, but he alone survived by hiding deep within a dry well. After being brought back to Qinglan Mountain, he suffered from a high fever for several days. His grandmother, Li, cared for him tirelessly, finally pulling him back from the brink of death.

The fever subsided, but the person changed.

Li Changmo stayed by himself all day, neither crying nor making a fuss, and did not speak to anyone.

"Put your hand on it."

Li Changmo placed his hand on the jade as instructed.

The instant he touched the spirit-testing jade—

A sudden change has occurred!

A dense, almost solidified emerald-green spiritual light shot into the sky from the Spirit Platform!

The spiritual light was even more dazzling than when Hu Xiaoyue awakened her Blood Talisman Spirit Body!

Under the aura of the spirit.

Li Changsheng felt that the hidden injury left in his body due to cultivating the "Iron Bone Body Forging Technique" was rapidly healing in the spiritual light.

His pupils contracted slightly.

"This vitality..."

It shares seven-tenths similarity with the Dharma of endless life!

Li Changsheng glanced at the top of his head.

Loyalty: 91/100

This little guy is aloof, but he knows that Li Changsheng saved his life, so his loyalty is quite high.

With a thought, Li Changsheng's talent for appraising heavenly books quietly activated.

【Li Changmo】

[Constitution: Healing Spirit (Unawakened)]

[Note: Individuals with this constitution, upon awakening their spiritual body, can wield powerful healing arts, capable of reviving the dead and restoring flesh to bones. They are among the most precious spiritual beings in the world. Their survival in the dry well was not a matter of luck, but rather a result of their constitution's self-healing ability.]

Healing spirits.

Li Changsheng's heart stirred slightly.

The 【Eternal Life】Fate Seed is specifically designed for healing-type cultivators.

but……

The law is precious.

It remains to be seen what kind of character and temperament Li Changmo possesses, and whether he deserves to be rewarded with this Dharma seed still needs to be observed for some time.

...

...

The Ascension Ceremony lasted for a full five days.

All three thousand members of the clan, including children aged six and above, were tested one by one. When the final results came out, the entire Li family was in an uproar—

There are a total of 108 people with spiritual roots.

Among them, two are of the highest rank: Grandmother Li (a second-rank wind attribute mutant) and eldest cousin Li Changming (a third-rank earth attribute mutant).

There were seven people of the middle third rank and ninety-nine people of the lower third rank.

Chen Wenyuan grinned from ear to ear: "One hundred and eight people! In just over a year, our Li family has already grown to more than a hundred cultivators!"

Mr. Li's face was also beaming: "At this rate, in a few decades, our Li family might really be able to..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but everyone present understood the unspoken message.

A family of the ninth rank!

While Li Changsheng was happy, he also felt some pressure.

More than a hundred cultivators were crammed onto a low-grade first-order spiritual vein. Coupled with the consumption from the spiritual fields, spiritual plants, and the Four Symbols Array, this spiritual vein was already overburdened.

Upgrading the spiritual veins is urgently needed.

Just then, a familiar vibration came from my sea of ​​consciousness.

[Fifty-one new members added to the Qi Refining Clan, significantly increasing the clan's fortune value]

[Current Family Luck Value: 4400/5000]

There are still 600 pages left before the next new page of the Heavenly Book is opened.

...

...

Quiet room.

Li Changsheng summoned Li Changle:

"Little sister, how's your research on the spirit vein enhancement array coming along?"

"Brother, I've figured it out. To upgrade a spiritual vein, you need to set up a 'Spirit Gathering and Vein Guiding Array'. To upgrade from a low-grade first rank to a mid-grade, you need to use ninety-nine array flags as a base, supplemented by three thousand six hundred spirit stones as a guide, to draw in, compress, and purify the spiritual energy of the earth veins."

She paused, a hint of difficulty appearing on her small face:

"The cost of materials, the crafting of the array flags, the consumption of spirit stones... all added together, it will require at least ten thousand spirit stones."

Ten thousand spirit stones.

Li Changsheng took out his storage bag and carefully counted his possessions over the past few days. From the spoils seized from the bandits, the gains from Wangniu Mountain, and the miscellaneous hauls from the Cheng family... all the spirit stones added up to a little over eight thousand.

Two thousand more is needed.

Li Changle said cautiously, "Brother, how about... we take it slow for now?"

"No need." Li Changsheng put away his storage bag. "You start refining the array flags first. I'll figure out how to get the spirit stones."

Li Changle nodded, then hesitated for a moment: "Brother, there's one more thing..."

"What?"

"Master said that when upgrading a spiritual vein, it's best to have a high-level spiritual plant to assist. The Spirit Gathering Tree can spontaneously gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. With it, the effect of upgrading the spiritual vein can be improved by at least 50%, and it can also greatly shorten the time required for the spiritual vein to stabilize. It also lays a good foundation for upgrading the spiritual vein to the second level in the future."

"Alright, you don't need to worry about the high-grade spiritual plants," he said. "Just focus on crafting the array flags."
