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

Spring of the tenth year of the Tianqi reign.

Ling'er is pregnant with her fifth child, and Jiang Yun unlocks a new achievement: "A large and prosperous family".

You are 90 achievement points away from obtaining the next entry and reward.

For the past three years, Jiang Yun has focused on cultivation, farming to support his family, and educating his children.

The sons were still young, and the family's development stagnated.

In addition, Ling'er has been unable to conceive.

Therefore, almost no achievement points are gained.

This time, Ling'er's pregnancy immediately earned me achievement points.

Jiang Yun thought to himself that the family's development couldn't rely on him and Ling'er having children forever.

When the children grow up, they need to be allowed to marry, have children, and start a family.

In that case, you might get even more achievement points.

He remembered that he had previously unlocked a basic achievement called "Many Descendants".

Now he has several sons.

This achievement will only be fully realized when we have grandchildren in the future.

However, this could take many years.

After all, her eldest son, Jiang Dexian, is only 13 years old.

I'm reminded of Jiang Dexian.

Jiang Yun felt that in another two years, it would be time for him to begin his cultivation.

"Ling'er, Dexian is thirteen years old this year. In two more years, when he turns fifteen, I will teach him cultivation."

He told Ling'er about his decision.

"It's time for Dexian to start cultivating too." Ling'er said with heartache, "He started working in the fields with you when he was eight years old, and you've shaped his character very well. He should be quite mature."

"De Xian is indeed a good person, hardworking and conscientious. Let him suffer for another two years. I wonder if he will be more mature when he turns fifteen."

Jiang Yun had high hopes for Jiang Dexian.

Besides teaching him to read on a regular basis, I also take the time to teach him while we work in the fields.

In two years, he will be taught cultivation. I wonder if Jiang Dexian will be able to shoulder the responsibility of the eldest son of the Jiang family after he begins his cultivation.

"Dexian and Deyue have suffered since childhood. Those who have experienced hardship understand certain truths more thoroughly," Ling'er comforted her. "Husband, rest assured, just pass on the cultivation method to Dexian."

"Alright." Jiang Yun nodded. "I will teach Dexian the method on his 15th birthday!"

After returning home.

Jiang Yun then picked up a hoe and called Jiang Dexian to go to the fields to work.

Spring has come again.

It is the time to sow seeds.

"Dexian, come with your father to work," Jiang Yun called out.

"Okay!"

Jiang Dexian immediately responded and followed Jiang Yun into the rice paddy.

The father and son quickly got to work in the fields.

I've been doing farm work for so many years.

Jiang Dexian is now very adept at it.

Knowing when to do what.

He can independently complete tasks such as seedling cultivation, land preparation, irrigation, rice transplanting, and rice harvesting.

However, he had one question.

Before other people plant rice seedlings, they all apply fertilizer.

When he was fertilizing his own plants, his father would tell him to go home and rest.

He hadn't seen how his father fertilized the plants yet.

He asked his mother.

Mother said that fertilizer smells bad, perhaps because Father was afraid you couldn't stand the smell.

Jiang Dexian was skeptical.

The doubts in my heart were never dispelled.

Because the rice in his family was so good that every grain was pure rice after hulling.

Although he had doubts, he was only thirteen years old and forgot about it after a while.

So he never asked Jiang Yun.

I suddenly remembered this while I was working in the fields today.

"Dad, why is our rice growing so well?"

Jiang Dexian was thirteen years old and had no guile.

He voiced his doubts directly.

"The land is fertile, the seedlings are planted well, and the rice naturally grows well. Look at Uncle Luyong's rice, it's growing quite well too."

Jiang Yun was unaware of Jiang Dexian's doubts and assumed he was just asking casually.

"I see."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Dexian began working meticulously.

I thought maybe I was overthinking it.

It's normal for the rice to grow well.

Besides, this is our own rice. If it grows well, that's a good thing. Why think about these unnecessary things?

"Dexian," Jiang Yun said earnestly, "do you know why your father named you Dexian?"

"I know, Mother told me that," Jiang Dexian said while plowing the field. "Dexian means 'to attain immortality,' 'to achieve the Dao and become an immortal.' Father hopes his child will become an immortal!"

"That's exactly right." Jiang Yun pressed further, "Only one in ten thousand can become an immortal. If you were to become an immortal someday, what would you do?"

In two years, I will teach Jiang Dexian how to cultivate.

Jiang Yun asked this question in preparation for what would happen two years from now.

Let's also take a look at Jiang Dexian's views on immortals, and find out what he wants to do when he becomes an immortal in the future.

Upon hearing Jiang Yun's question, Jiang Dexian gripped his hoe without moving, looked up at the sky, and his face was full of longing.

Those are immortals, capable of flying and disappearing into the earth, possessing boundless magical power and being omnipotent. Can I really become an immortal?

If you become an immortal, what should you do?

Jiang Dexian thought for a long time but did not give an answer.

Jiang Yun didn't interrupt him, letting him think it over carefully.

However, it seems that Jiang Dexian didn't think about what to do; upon hearing about becoming an immortal, he was filled with longing.

He probably knew in his heart that becoming an immortal was impossible.

We can only dream about it.

Much later.

As Jiang Dexian dreamed, he replied, "If I could become an immortal, I would make my parents and younger siblings live forever. I've heard that immortals live forever, so I'm sure there's a way to make it happen."

In recent years, many elderly people have died in the village.

In addition, Jiang Yun would take him to pay respects to his grandparents every year.

He understood that once a person dies, they are gone forever, buried in the ground, and there would be no more seeing them.

That's why Jiang Dexian had this idea.

"Remember what you said."

Jiang Yun was very pleased.

Although Jiang Dexian's words were too idealistic, at least he had the responsibility of an eldest son.

"Dad, I've heard that immortals don't eat or drink, but what if they want to eat pork knuckle?"

Jiang Dexian didn't understand.

Immortals can live without food or water, but wouldn't they eat the delicious food they see?

Wouldn't it be boring to be an immortal?

I can't even eat the best food, I'm not as happy as an ordinary person!

"Eat what you want. The saying that immortals don't eat or drink means they can live without food or water, but mortals can't."

Jiang Yun explained with a smile.

This kid probably thinks that if he becomes an immortal, he won't be able to eat his favorite pork knuckle anymore!

"Aren't they hungry?"

Jiang Dexian asked many questions about immortals.

sunset.

The sunlight cast long, long shadows of the father and son.

……

Another autumn has arrived.

Golden autumn October.

After Jiang Yun and Jiang Dexian finished harvesting the late rice.

Ling'er was nine months pregnant and about to give birth.

"Husband, I feel like I'm about to give birth," Ling'er said. "This time, we don't need to call a midwife; just call my mother."

Ling'er's last delivery went very smoothly; she was even able to get out of bed and walk around right after giving birth.

He felt there was no need to hire a midwife this time.

Besides, Granny Cai has already passed away.

"I'll listen to you and go tell your mother."

Jiang Yun no longer needs to worry about Ling'er having a difficult childbirth.

After all, they've cultivated immortality, so having a child is a piece of cake; the only difficulty is getting pregnant.

He felt much more relaxed, unlike the first time he was so nervous.

He then agreed to Ling'er's request and went to inform Meng Chunmei.
