I became an immortal by synthesizing plants.

Quanzhou, the land of Quanzhou, and Taojin, the land of Niangzhou.

Jintao Town, nestled in Peach Blossom Mountain.

"Qingshan, we can go choose our favorite plant spirit seeds tomorrow. What are you planning to pick?"

In spring, when peach blossoms are in full bloom, the mountains and fields are covered in blossoms.

In the peach blossom garden, under the shade of the trees, three slightly immature boys dressed in gorgeous brocade robes lay on the grass.

After pondering for a long time, Chen Qingshan, whose face was somewhat handsome, said to his cousin Chen Qinghuai who was standing beside him:

"I'm going to choose the crape myrtle tree, because it's blessed by the Purple Star. Qinghuai, Qingyu, what are you two going to choose?"

After several years of understanding, Chen Qingshan basically grasped the laws of this world: peach trees can prolong life, crape myrtle trees can increase one's luck, and the spiritual seeds of each plant can endow one with special abilities.

Cultivation in this world also begins with Foundation Establishment, but the first step requires opening up the inner world and binding with plants to obtain special abilities.

Chen Qingyu smiled and said, "I plan to choose an osmanthus tree, which can absorb moonlight and accelerate my cultivation."

Chen Qinghuai: "The requirements for Ziwei to advance are quite high. It is said that the Ziwei spiritual seed needs to be watered with the Three Lights Spiritual Water. Osmanthus is also good. I prefer something simpler, so I'll go with the tallow tree, which absorbs the power of the stars."

Chen Qingshan: "???"

Chen Qingyu: "???"

Chen Qingshan was dumbfounded. He and Qingyu only dared to choose spirit seeds from a single star, but you actually dared to choose a spirit seed that could guide all the stars in the heavens.

And is it really that simple?

The difficulty of advancing is higher than that of the two of them combined.

When a spirit seed advances from the first to the second tier, it requires a specific spirit object; after that, it depends entirely on the path it chooses.

Chen Qingshan asked cautiously, "Qinghuai, how big is your inner world?"

Chen Qingshan's own inner world is a small, circular world with a diameter of 500 meters, without a sun or a moon.

These are all geniuses; Chen Qingshan couldn't even imagine how great Chen Qinghuai was.

Chen Qinghuai raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "It has a diameter of 1200 meters and contains the stars Po Jun and Tan Lang."

Chen Qingyu: "???"

So, out of the three brothers, he's the only ordinary person with a 100-meter interior scene?

This 100-meter distance is considered excellent; the average person can only manage around 50 meters.

Every 10 meters upwards is considered a small obstacle.

Chen Qingshan's mouth twitched slightly as he exclaimed in shock, "No way, Qinghuai, didn't we establish our foundations together? How come your inner world is so exaggerated?"

Chen Qingshan found it strange that their thousand-day foundation building was all accomplished at the same time, in the same place, and with the same resources.

How come Chen Qinghuai has become so outstanding without saying a word after not seeing him for several months?

With a diameter of over a thousand meters, only top-tier families with access to the finest resources could cultivate such a top genius.

Chen Qinghuai: "Qingshan, Qingyu, how tall are you? What's inside the inner world?"

Chen Qingshan stopped pretending and said, "500 meters, with nine peaks, which is why I chose Ziwei Star."

Chen Qingyu couldn't hide his disappointment and said, "I only covered 100 meters, there wasn't much of a view."

Chen Qingshan and Chen Qinghuai patted Chen Qingyu on the shoulder and comforted him:

"Alright, Qingyu, the inner world can be gradually improved. It may not exist now, but it will definitely exist in the future."

Chen Qingshan's words did not make Chen Qingyu feel any better; on the contrary, they made her feel even worse.

Chen Qinghuai: "That's right. With each realm we can increase the size of our inner world, and we can also continue to plant new spiritual seeds in our inner world. It will gradually change."

These words made Chen Qingyu feel a little better, but he did not look directly at Chen Qingshan and Chen Qinghuai.

Moreover, it's not easy to improve one's cultivation level. They are currently only at the first level of Qi Refining, and there are still the Purple Mansion, Yuan Dan, and Golden Core realms to come.

Advancing to each major realm requires not only time, but also talent and opportunity.

With Qingshan and Qinghuai's talent, they might only need two or three years to reach the Purple Mansion Realm, while he himself might need five or even ten years.

The gap between them is not something we can imagine.

This was their first meeting since they returned home for the winter, and it was also the first time Chen Qingyu had witnessed the difference between them.

Chen Qinghuai: "Qingyu, Qingshan, when did you two reach the first level of Qi Refining?"

Chen Qingshan started practicing the Spirit Refining Technique and successfully entered the first level of Qi Refining in just one month.

As for why I haven't reached the second level of Qi Refining yet, it's mainly because I haven't incorporated a spiritual seed.

He can break through to the second level of Qi Refining at any time, it just depends on whether he wants to or not.

Chen Qingshan: "About four months ago, I reached the first level of Qi Refining in just one month."

Chen Qingyu's tone softened slightly as he said, "It took me three months."

Chen Qinghuai smiled and said, "Then I'm about the same as Qingshan; it took me 20 days."

The inner world is automatically generated after entering the first level of Qi Refining; Chen Qingshan and the others do not need to develop it in any way.

As the sun was about to set, the eight-foot-tall Chen Qingshan bid them farewell and returned to his residence.

He now lives in Yuanfeng Mountain, which is a relatively good area in Jintao Town.

This is the source of a first-order spiritual vein, and the entire Golden Peach Town relies on it for its spiritual energy supply.

Of course, he doesn't live alone on a mountain; he lives with many people of his age.

His current home is a standard family-allocated hut, about 100 square meters in size, with two floors.

The room was quite empty, with only a few clothes and kitchen utensils, no spirit stones, and no magical artifacts.

Chen Qingyu lived on Baipeishan Mountain, which was five kilometers away from them, while Chen Qinghuai lived on Niukui Mountain, which was about four kilometers away.

Actually, there was one more thing Chen Qingshan hadn't told them: in Chen Qingshan's inner world, the nine peaks were connected, forming a whole mountain range.

This year marks the 15th year since he transmigrated here. When he was 12 years old, he and other members of the clan of the appropriate age entered the family's sacred land to establish their foundations, and only returned last winter.

"Fifteen years have passed in the blink of an eye. I wonder how to choose the spirit seed tomorrow," Chen Qingshan pondered with distress.

Actually, his target wasn't the crape myrtle tree spirit seed, but rather the few mutated spirit seeds in his family.

However, the number of mutated spirit seeds is small, and most of them are distributed to a few direct descendants of the main lineage.

Spiritual seeds can only be condensed by fourth-order cultivators, that is, Golden Core cultivators. Each life seed planted in the inner world can only condense 4-8 spiritual seeds per year, making them extremely rare.

Every cultivator at or above the Golden Core realm is the most important member of the family. Once they advance to the Golden Core realm, their lineage automatically becomes the direct bloodline of the family.

However, in his lineage, both his father and Chen Qinghuai's father are at the Yuan Dan realm. Out of the entire Jin Tao Town of seventy or eighty thousand people, there are only a few dozen at the Yuan Dan realm.

Even their closest cousin, Chen Qingyu, had a father who was only at the eighth level of the Purple Mansion Realm and was already over forty years old.

The Purple Mansion Realm and the Yuan Dan Realm do not increase lifespan; only the Golden Core Realm gradually increases lifespan. After advancing to the Golden Core Realm, one's lifespan increases by five thousand years, and immortality is no longer a fantasy.

Of the three brothers, Chen Qinghuai should have no problem advancing to the Golden Core Realm, and Chen Qingshan felt that advancing to the Golden Core Realm was also not a problem for him. However, it would be difficult for Chen Qingyu, as he was not very talented and there were no unusual phenomena in his inner vision.

As night deepened and the bright moon hung high in the sky, Chen Qingshan gently drifted off to sleep.

Because the selection of spirit seeds is tomorrow, he doesn't dare to stay up too late.
