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

The night is deep and quiet, and the bright moon hangs high in the sky.

Jiang Yun secretly went up the mountain to find a suitable secluded place to attempt to break through to the fourth level of Qi Refining.

This time, he crossed seven mountains, quietly passed through a village, and arrived deep in the Qingshanling Mountains.

"Beyond Qingshan Ridge lies Qingshan Lake."

Jiang Yun arrived at a mountain peak and looked westward.

If you climb to the highest point of Qingshanling, you can see the boundless Qingshan Lake.

"If the Jiang family can establish themselves in Qingshan Lake in the future, it will be considered that they have gained a firm foothold in Dayu."

Jiang Yun gazed towards Qingshan Lake, then quickly composed himself and began searching for a secluded place to cultivate.

It took some time to find a dark and damp underground cave.

It's very safe here; no one will come.

He immediately entered the cave and took out his storage bag.

The storage bag contained numerous mid-grade spirit stones and a Qi Condensation Pill.

Today is the 15th of the tenth month of the ninth year of the Tianqi reign.

Four years and ten months have passed since he obtained the "Unexpected Fortune" entry and the storage bag, and he should have had 58 mid-grade spirit stones.

Over the past three years, Jiang Yun has used some mid-grade spirit stones for cultivation.

Therefore, there are still more than fifty mid-grade spirit stones in the storage bag.

These spirit stones are produced one more each month, in a continuous stream.

He can't possibly use it all by himself.

Jiang Yun had no choice but to store it away for the time being, intending to give it to her children and grandchildren for future use.

"After taking the Qi Condensation Pill, I should be able to break through this time!"

Jiang Yun took out a spirit stone and placed it beside him.

Then put the Qi Condensation Pill in your mouth.

This Qi-Condensing Pill doesn't melt instantly upon entering the mouth; it needs to be swallowed to take effect.

Having made these preparations, Jiang Yun put away his storage bag and began practicing his breathing exercises.

Two days later.

That feeling of being on the verge of a breakthrough, just one step away, washed over me again.

"Now!"

Jiang Yun quickly swallowed the Qi Condensation Pill that was in his mouth.

The Qi Condensation Pill was swallowed.

The speed at which spiritual energy is absorbed increases dramatically.

The vortex within the Qi Sea greedily absorbs spiritual energy.

Inside the cave, the pure spiritual energy from the mid-grade spirit stone continuously flowed into Jiang Yun's body.

Under the refinement of the "Five Elements Foundation Building Method", it gradually transforms into the power of the five elements and resides in the Qi Sea.

Jiang Yun fully activated the Five Elements Foundation Building Technique.

At this critical juncture, we dare not slacken our efforts in the slightest.

Five days later.

Jiang Yun opened her eyes and exhaled a breath of stale air.

"Finally reached level four of Qi Refining!"

He picked up the mid-grade spirit stone used for breathing exercises.

Inside the spirit stone, only a tiny bit of spiritual energy remained.

"The Five Elements Foundation Building Method cultivates the power of the Five Elements, which really consumes spiritual energy."

This mid-grade spirit stone is equivalent to 100 low-grade spirit stones and can sustain an ordinary Qi Refining Level 3 cultivator for half a year.

Jiang Yun had only broken through to the fourth level of Qi Refining before he had almost completely absorbed it.

The power of the five elements that the Five Elements Foundation Building Method needs to gather is practically a bottomless pit.

"Reach the fourth level of Qi Refining, then begin practicing your second spell."

The higher one's cultivation level.

The easier it is to master a spell.

The five spells in the Five Elements Foundation Building Method

This is no ordinary spell.

Even the Fireball spell has its unique aspects; it's not simply about condensing a fireball.

Jiang Yun felt that the five spells in the Five Elements Foundation Building Technique could still be used to fight enemies once he reached the Foundation Building stage!

However, he has only mastered the Taibai Burial Gold Sword technique so far.

"Although the Taibai Burial Sword has not been fully mastered, it has been nurtured for five years. I wonder how powerful it is."

For the past five years, Jiang Yun has been using the power of metal to nourish the Taibai Burial Gold Sword every day.

Aside from killing two robbers, it has never been used again.

He had no idea how powerful it was.

Now he wants to try practicing a second spell.

"Vitality Spell, Mystic Ice Soul Needle, Fireball Technique, Mountain Moving Technique..."

"These spells are different from the Taibai Burial Gold Sword; they do not require nurturing, but it seems more difficult to cultivate them until you master them."

Jiang Yun shook her head.

It's not difficult to condense the Taibai Burial Gold Sword, but to cultivate it to perfection, it takes a lot of time and the power of metal to nurture it.

As for other spells, it is almost impossible to master them in a short period of time.

"Never mind, we've been out for seven days already, let's go home first."

Jiang Yun put aside the matter of cultivating magic for the time being.

He immediately left the cave and departed from Qingshanling.

We left Qingshanling.

He headed towards Yongning County.

After entering the city, I bought some candied hawthorns and snacks before swaggering home.

After returning home.

The whole family was gathered around him.

"Father, why did it take so many days to go to town this time?"

Jiang Dexian asked curiously.

"Dad, you're back! Did you bring me candied hawthorns?"

Jiang Deyue stared at the sack in Jiang Yun's hand.

"Daddy, hug me..."

"Daddy, hug me, I want to eat."

Jiang Defan and Jiang Deping wanted Jiang Yun to hug them and also wanted to eat delicious food.

Seven days have passed.

The children really miss Jiang Yun.

"Dexian, your father brought you some delicious food. Share it with your younger siblings."

Jiang Yun handed the sack to Jiang Dexian.

"Um."

Jiang Dexian nodded.

As soon as he took the sack, Jiang Deyue, Jiang Defan, and Jiang Deping surrounded him.

"Husband, how is it?"

Seeing the children sharing food, Ling'er couldn't help but whisper a question about Jiang Yun's breakthrough.

"We succeeded!" Jiang Yun said.

"My husband is so amazing." Ling'er smiled, her face full of joy.

"Ling'er, we've wasted so many days. Let's work harder now and have a healthy baby."

Jiang Yun was getting anxious.

After two years of hard work, why isn't Ling'er pregnant yet?

"Husband, let's talk about this tonight."

Ling'er's face burned, and she looked at Jiang Yun reproachfully.

"Okay, okay, we'll talk about it tonight."

Jiang Yun chuckled softly.

This was supposed to be discussed tonight!

……

Another winter has arrived.

It was freezing cold outside.

Jiang Yun and Ling'er lived a shameless life at home.

She intends to have a fifth child.

Hard work pays off.

Finally, in February of the following year, they successfully got Ling'er pregnant.

"My lord, it seems she is pregnant this time."

Ling'er was overjoyed.

My recent physical reactions are similar to those during my previous pregnancies.

She thought to herself that she was finally pregnant.

My husband should be able to calm down for a while now.

"Great, it's good that you're pregnant." Jiang Yun pulled Ling'er along. "Let's go have Fang Dingxuan check your pulse."

Fang Dingxuan is Fang Bingchu's eldest son.

After Fang Bingchu passed away, Fang Dingxuan inherited his mantle.

"Um."

Ling'er knows.

Every time she became pregnant, her husband would go to the clinic to confirm the pregnancy.

She used to be stingy with money.

We don't lack money at home now.

Jiang Yun then led her to the clinic.

"Congratulations, congratulations! It's a happy pulse." Fang Dingxuan said after taking the pulse.

"Thank you for your help, Dr. Fang."

Jiang Yun thanked him.

I thought to myself that after two years of hard work...

Ling'er is finally pregnant!

Do you know how difficult these past two years have been?

Even an ox would be exhausted!

It has been confirmed that Ling'er is pregnant with her fifth child.

Jiang Yun, beaming with joy, led Ling'er home.

He continues to earn achievement points.
