The Immortal Clan was established starting with the entry on the Dao of the Gou.

Summer of the thirty-second year of Jinghe.

Emperor Jinghe, the eleventh emperor of the Great Yu Dynasty, passed away.

This emperor reigned for thirty-two years.

With diligent governance, the people live in peace and contentment.

The power of the Great Yu Kingdom was at its peak.

Neighboring countries dared not invade.

"The world has changed."

Jiang Yun was somewhat worried.

Everything that reaches its peak must decline.

The Great Yu Dynasty is very likely beginning its decline.

If things go downhill.

This is not a good thing for Jiang Yun.

Whether a dynasty is strong or not is directly related to the lives of ordinary people.

If a country is not strong, it will face invasion from neighboring countries.

If a neighboring country invades, war will break out.

Whether it's a defeat or a victory.

In the end, it is only the ordinary people at the bottom who suffer.

Jiang Yun is now a tenant farmer at the very bottom of the social ladder.

He did not want to see a turbulent situation.

The calmer the external environment, the better.

This way, he will have more time to develop his abilities stealthily.

"My lord, this rain is so heavy."

Ling'er and Jiang Yun stood under the eaves, looking up at the dark sky.

Large raindrops pattered on the ground.

She didn't understand the other layer of meaning in Jiang Yun's words.

There is no deeper understanding of the death of Emperor Jinghe.

"It's better for them to be older, the weather's cooler." Jiang Yun took Ling'er's hand and led her into the house. "Let's give the two children something good to eat today."

Jiang Yun entered the room and saw Jiang Dexian diligently studying characters.

In the past six months, thanks to Jiang Yun's careful guidance, he is now willing to learn.

When he encounters a word he can't remember, he will take the initiative to ask Jiang Yun for help.

On the other side, the daughter, Jiang Deyue, was wandering aimlessly around the house.

He touched the table here, and the chair there.

They seem to be curious about everything in the house.

Jiang Yun looked at his two carefree children and smiled like a loving father.

He now looks forward to his two children growing up as soon as possible.

As for the third child...

Jiang Yun had wanted it for a long time.

It's just the current situation at home.

Raising two children requires cutting back on food and clothing.

If a third child is born.

I'm afraid life will become even harder.

Therefore, Jiang Yun always paid special attention to this whenever he was intimate with Ling'er.

To prevent Ling'er from getting pregnant.

When Ling'er heard Jiang Yun say that she would give the children something nice to eat today, she nodded gently.

The early rice harvest is about to begin.

A sum of money will be deposited into the account at that time.

The child's diet should be improved.

"It's raining heavily today. Tomorrow I'll go to the market to buy some pork knuckles that Dexian likes, and also buy a chicken to make soup for you and your daughter."

Seeing Ling'er nod, Jiang Yun had already decided what to buy for the child to eat.

"I will do whatever my husband says."

Ling'er swallowed hard.

I remember the last time we had chicken soup was when Jiang Yun was gathering firewood in the mountains and secretly brought back a wild pheasant.

That night, the couple ate their fill of meat and soup.

In addition, Jiang Yun is a skilled cook and her food is delicious.

Ling'er is savoring the memory.

"Pork knuckle?" Jiang Dexian's ears lit up, and she pounced on Jiang Yun. "Daddy, Daddy, are you really going to buy me pork knuckle to eat tomorrow?"

"I'll buy it!" Jiang Yun bent down and picked up Jiang Dexian. "But you'd better study hard and learn to read."

Jiang Yun taught her family members to read and write.

It's not about making them achieve any official rank or title in the future, but rather to facilitate their cultivation of immortality.

He doesn't know a single character.

Even with a top-tier cultivation method right in front of him, it was all in vain.

"I will."

Jiang Dexian nodded vigorously, drool dripping from his mouth.

Judging from their appearance, they've long since forgotten about studying and learning to read.

"You little glutton."

Seeing Jiang Dexian drooling, Ling'er tapped his head with her finger.

the next day.

Jiang Yun went to the market and bought some pork knuckles and a rooster to improve the children's meals when she got home.

These days have been relatively quiet.

He spent a lot of time gathering firewood in the mountains and finding a secluded place to cultivate his spiritual practice.

In a few days, we will have to rush to harvest the early rice and plant the late rice.

Then I'll be busy again.

Once you get busy...

The time required for cultivation will be greatly reduced.

Two months later.

After harvesting the early rice, Jiang Yun planted the late rice.

Only then did I finally have some free time.

He learned the news from others.

Emperor Jinghe passed away.

The crown prince ascended the throne, and the new emperor took the throne, changing the era name to "Tianqi".

It is now the first year of the Tianqi era.

This year.

Jiang Yun's son, Jiang Dexian, is four years old.

My daughter, Jiang Deyue, is one and a half years old.

……

After the late rice is planted.

Jiang Yun gets up early every day before dawn.

Then, carrying a hemp rope and a machete, they went up the mountain to gather firewood.

Chopping firewood was just a cover.

What he really needs to do is cultivate himself!

He possesses immortal bones and has already begun cultivating immortality.

Jiang Yun moved with incredible speed.

The two or three mountains were quickly crossed.

They found a secluded place.

Jiang Yun put down the hemp rope and the wood-chopping knife, and sat cross-legged to cultivate the Five Elements Foundation Building Method.

Thus, on the morning of the third day.

The sky was just beginning to lighten.

Birds chirped merrily in the mountains and forests.

Jiang Yun, who was cultivating, opened his eyes in surprise.

"Finally, I've reached the first level of Qi Refining!"

From beginning to end.

It took nearly two years in total.

Jiang Yun can be considered to have entered the first level of Qi Refining.

"If it weren't for the farm work to support my family, I should have been able to reach the first level of Qi Refining within a year."

"From this perspective, the cultivation speed is actually quite good."

"It must be the Immortal Bone and Mutation Infection attributes that increased my cultivation speed."

Jiang Yun was satisfied.

Although it is a spiritual root of the five elements.

With the aid of immortal bones and cultivation entries, the cultivation speed is actually not slow.

"According to the Five Elements Foundation Building Method, once you reach the first level of Qi Refining, you can internally visualize all the meridians and dantian in your body. Let me take a look."

Jiang Yun closed her eyes again.

Calm down and carefully feel your whole body.

A faint wisp of consciousness traveled through the endless, interconnected meridians and arrived at the dantian.

Within the dantian, a small amount of the five elements' power was mixed together, maintaining a delicate balance.

"This is the location of the dantian, the sea of ​​qi."

Jiang Yun's consciousness only glanced at the Qi Sea before immediately withdrawing.

He did not withdraw voluntarily.

However, this awareness cannot be maintained for long.

"I hope to reach the third level of Qi Refining as soon as possible and start practicing magic."

"If one has magical abilities, one will at least have a fighting chance against cultivators of the same level."

"When we have the ability to protect ourselves, we can start to build a business and get rid of our tenant farmer status as soon as possible."

Jiang Yun looked radiant.

He worked hard as a tenant farmer for over twenty years.

Finally, we see the light at the end of the tunnel.

"It's still early, so I can consolidate my cultivation."

Jiang Yun looked up at the sky.

The sky was overcast, and the sun had not yet risen.

He calmed his mind and prepared to practice his cultivation technique.

Lines of golden text suddenly appeared before his eyes—

[Congratulations, host, on reaching the first level of Qi Refining!]

[Completed the beginner achievement "Entering the Immortal Path"]

[Gain 20 achievement points]

Name: Jiang Yun

Age: 25

[Talent: Immortal Bones]

[Realm Level: Qi Refining Level 1]

[Technique: Five Elements Foundation Building Method]

[Entries: Perennial Sixth Place, Lucky Star in Life, Mutant Infection]

[Achievement: 80/200]

"Is the first level of Qi Refining considered the initial step onto the path of immortality?"

"Good."

Jiang Yun believed that only after reaching the third level of Qi Refining and mastering a spell could one be considered to have entered the threshold of immortal cultivation.

I never imagined that the first level of Qi Refining would be considered the beginning of the path to immortality.

That's great.
