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

"Mother, please say yes."

Ling'er pleaded twice in succession.

"Alright, then Mother will shamelessly accept it."

Meng Chunmei glanced at Fang Yu.

She knew Jiang Yun was very capable.

Ling'er followed Jiang Yun and never had to worry about food or clothing for the rest of her life.

However, his own son, Fang Yu, did not have such abilities.

Besides, the family is going through a difficult time right now.

Jiang Yun's donation of these five acres of land was undoubtedly a timely help.

With these five acres of land, we can at least be self-sufficient.

I'll accept it then.

In the future, my grandson Fang Minglong will repay this kindness.

"Thank you, brother-in-law."

Fang Yu and Luo Susu, a married couple, bowed deeply to Jiang Yun.

"Stay for dinner tonight. I'll have Ling'er cook some good dishes."

Jiang Yun quickly stopped Fang Yu from performing the grand salute.

We're all family, there's no need to be formal.

evening.

Fang Yu and his family went home after having dinner.

Back home, Meng Chunmei called Fang Minglong over and gave him important instructions.

"Minglong, your uncle is a great benefactor to our family. From now on, whatever you do, you must listen to your uncle and aunt, understand?"

Fang Minglong is six years old this year, two years older than Jiang De'an and one year younger than Jiang Deping.

He said in a somewhat childish tone, "Grandson knows."

"Good!" Meng Chunmei was very fond of Fang Minglong because he was so sensible. "You must study hard with Deping and De'an and learn to read and write. Don't sneak off to play."

"I didn't play around with the books. I know more characters than my cousin De'an," Fang Minglong said proudly.

"Haha, great!"

Meng Chunmei burst into laughter.

Fang Yu and Luo Susu, who were beside them, also laughed.

Fang Minglong is two years older than Jiang De'an.

He naturally knows more characters than Jiang De'an.

However, Fang Minglong's smug look made them feel both annoyed and amused.

……

After the New Year.

Spring has arrived.

Jiang Yun's family owns five mu of land.

They then entrusted the farming to Fang Yu's family.

The five mu of land was managed by Fang Yu and Luo Susu.

Meng Chunmei stayed home to take care of Fang Minglong.

She's almost 50, so it's a good time for her to take a break.

However, Fang Minglong spent most of his time studying and learning to read at Jiang Yun's house.

At Jiang Yun's house.

He has three older cousins, one older cousin, and one younger cousin.

When you grow up and go out into the world, you'll definitely have someone to protect you.

After Jiang Yun handed over the five mu of land to Fang Yu.

He and Jiang Dexian then had more time to cultivate.

His cultivation level increased day by day.

……

Spring passes and autumn comes.

Two years later.

The third day of the third month in the fifteenth year of the Tianqi reign.

Jiang Dexian is currently focusing on her cultivation.

Suddenly, he gained two months' worth of cultivation.

The same thing happened last year.

His cultivation level increased out of nowhere.

This level of cultivation is equivalent to two months of his arduous training.

"Huh? I've reached the third level of Qi Refining?"

Jiang Dexian internally visualizes his dantian.

They discovered that they would need to undergo two more months of arduous training before reaching the third level of Qi Refining.

Now, I have gained an extra level of cultivation out of nowhere.

This caused a stable vortex to form within his dantian.

He officially entered the third level of Qi Refining.

"Father said he'd teach me magic at the third level of Qi Refining, so I'm going to find him to learn magic!"

Jiang Dexian walked out of her room and excitedly found Jiang Yun.

"Father, I have reached the third level of Qi Refining!"

He came to Jiang Yun's side and said in a low voice.

At this moment, Jiang Yun is watering the flowers and plants in the yard.

He spends his days cultivating himself, occasionally taking a moment to relax and rejuvenate.

He appears to be watering the flowers and plants.

Actually, their attention wasn't on the flowers and plants.

Instead, it's on the panel that just popped up—

Congratulations to the eldest son of the Jiang family for breaking through to the third level of Qi Refining, and to the matriarch of the Jiang family for breaking through to the fourth level of Qi Refining.

[Congratulations, host, on completing the advanced achievement of "Cultivation Family"]

[Gain 40 achievement points]

[Achievement: 100/200]

Two months ago, Ling'er broke through to the fourth level of Qi Refining.

Today, Jiang Dexian broke through to the third level of Qi Refining.

Help Jiang Yun achieve the advanced achievement of "Cultivation Family".

This "cultivation family" has already completed the beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels of achievement.

Only the final achievement remains.

It will probably take many more years to achieve the ultimate goal of becoming a "cultivation family".

Jiang Yun estimated that at least his grandsons would have to start cultivating immortality in order to achieve the ultimate goal of "family cultivation".

But by then...

I believe the Jiang family is already very powerful.

"Father, I have reached the third level of Qi Refining!"

Seeing that Jiang Yun remained unmoved, Jiang Dexian spoke again in a low voice.

"I heard you." Jiang Yun nodded calmly, her expression unreadable.

Jiang Dexian looked around the courtyard.

Realizing that his younger siblings weren't paying attention to what was happening here, he quickly said, "Father, I want to practice magic."

"At midnight tonight, call your sister and come to Father's room together."

Jiang Yun is planning to start Jiang Deyue's cultivation.

Jiang Dexian is 17 years old this year, two and a half years older than Jiang Deyue.

Jiang Deyue is almost 15 years old.

It's time to pass on her cultivation methods.

"Father, are you preparing to teach my sister cultivation?"

Jiang Dexian's expression brightened with joy.

If my younger sister also begins her cultivation.

From now on, I won't have to go through so much trouble hiding it from her!

"Exactly."

Jiang Yun nodded.

Tonight, I will impart Jiang Dexian's magical arts and Jiang Deyue's cultivation methods.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Dexian immediately ran to find Jiang Deyue, saying, "Deyue, Father wants the two of us to go see him at midnight tonight."

"The third watch?" Jiang Deyue asked. "What is it?"

"This is very important, so don't fall asleep," Jiang Dexian earnestly instructed.

"Is it something important?" Jiang Deyue said coquettishly, "Big brother, what do you know? Can you tell your little sister first?"

"I can't reveal it yet, but you'll find out tonight at midnight."

After Jiang Dexian finished speaking, he quickly left and walked towards Jiang Yun.

He just remembered something else, but didn't ask Jiang Yun about it.

"My older brother has been acting all mysterious these past two years."

Jiang Deyue watched Jiang Dexian's retreating figure and couldn't help but mutter to herself.

……

Jiang Dexian returned to Jiang Yun's side.

"Dad, there's something I forgot to tell you."

Jiang Yun looked at Jiang Dexian, "What is it?"

"Just now, I suddenly gained an extra bit of cultivation. This bit of cultivation is at least equivalent to two months of hard training, which is why I was able to break through to the third level of Qi Refining in one fell swoop."

Jiang Dexian asked, puzzled, "It happened the same time last year. Father, is there something wrong with my cultivation?"

"..."

Jiang Yun remained silent.

I don't know how to answer.

This isn't a problem with my cultivation at all!

This is one of the benefits brought by the term "mutation infection".

Enjoy it.

This effect applies randomly to the descendants of the Jiang family.

When the Jiang family has many descendants in the future.

But you might not be able to enjoy it.

"Let me see you practice your internal energy later, and I'll check it out for you."

Jiang Yun couldn't explain the effect of the "mutation infection" entry.

They could only pretend to examine Jiang Dexian.

The father and son entered the room, and Jiang Dexian began to circulate his internal energy.

Jiang Yun pretended to be serious and began to examine the object.

A short while later.

He said in a serious tone, "It's alright, there's no problem. It's probably because you've accumulated a lot of knowledge and skills that you have this illusion of suddenly gaining more cultivation."

"Great things come from small beginnings... I see."

Jiang Dexian nodded repeatedly.

It turns out that all of this was the result of his hard work.

I thought there was something wrong with my cultivation!
