I became an immortal by synthesizing plants.

The next morning, the clear chirping of the golden oriole rang out, and Chen Qingshan jumped up and quickly washed up.

This is a spirit beast kept by their family. Every morning after sunrise, it runs up to the tree and barks to remind the people of Golden Peach Town that it is dawn.

Chen Qingshan quickly finished washing up and then went down the mountain.

They need to gather in town and then follow the cultivators sent by their master to Qianhe Royal City to select their own spirit seed.

Along the way, more than a dozen people of the same age from the same clansmen had already started walking down the mountain.

Jintao Town is home to more than 80,000 people, most of whom are ordinary people, with only one percent having the talent to cultivate and become cultivators.

Upon arriving at the Golden Peach Tree in Golden Peach Town, Chen Qingshan immediately spotted Qing Huai and Qing Yu in the crowd.

Actually, there weren't many people in this batch, only forty-three.

However, there are hundreds or even thousands of towns like theirs throughout Taojinniang Prefecture.

A middle-aged man who looked remarkably like Chen Qingshan walked over: "Xiaoshan, your inner world is 500 meters in diameter?"

Chen Qingshan snapped out of his daze and said with a smile, "Dad, you heard it from Qinghuai and the others, right?"

Chen Qingshan's father, Chen Wenshang, nodded and said, "Although he can't compare to Xiao Huai, he can still be among the first to select spirit seeds. What kind of spirit seed do you want to choose?"

Chen Wenshang was secretly delighted. Of his seven children, only Chen Qingshan had the talent for cultivation, and his talent seemed to be very high.

Moreover, he preferred Chen Qingshan to choose the Yaojing Mulberry, a mutated mulberry tree in the family, which was rumored to have the bloodline of the Fusang Divine Tree.

After a moment's thought, Chen Qingshan said, "If we can choose the Five Crystal Pulse Heavenly Willow, then we should choose the Five Crystal Pulse Heavenly Willow. The next best options are the Radiant Crystal Mulberry, the Crape Myrtle Tree, and the Hundred Cluster Redwood."

Chen Wenshang was puzzled and asked doubtfully, "Why are the Ziwei and Yaojing trees listed on the same level? The Ziwei tree's advancement difficulty is extremely high. Isn't this a bit ill-considered?"

Compared to spiritual plants like the Radiant Crystal Mulberry, which have readily available advancement materials, the other advancement materials for the Crape Myrtle Tree may not be difficult to obtain, but the most elusive of them all is luck, something that cannot be measured by common sense.

There is only one fourth-order Purple Crape Myrtle Spirit Tree in the ancestral land, and it is a natural spirit seed that has not yet been incorporated into anyone's inner realm.

Although each batch releases 24 crape myrtle spirit seeds, very few are incorporated into the inner realm; often only one or two are included, or no one is accommodated, until they dissipate into the world.

Chen Qingshan: "It's okay, I have my own ideas."

Chen Wenshang couldn't persuade him any further. Even if he forced Qingshan to accommodate other spirit seeds, once Chen Qingshan entered the spirit seed microcosm, he couldn't control anything.

Chen Wenguan remained silent for a long time, recalling how he had missed opportunities due to interference from his elders, and finally sighed, "Your path... you must walk it yourself."

He himself was only at the fourth level of the Yuan Dan realm.

Chen Qingyu continued to do things her own way.

Chen Qinghuai was forced by his father to choose the Five Crystal Heavenly Willow as his spiritual seed.

Chen Qinghuai looked displeased and said to his father, Chen Wenguan, "Everyone's path is different. My inner world is more suited to the tallow tree, and I will only choose the tallow tree."

Chen Wenguan said anxiously, "Huai'er, we know the benefits of the tallow tree, and we also know about your inner world."

However, the advancement difficulty of the tallow tree is even higher than that of the crape myrtle tree over in the green mountains. Perhaps advancing to the Purple Mansion realm only requires drawing upon the power of five stars to summarize the inner landscape, but what about the Yuan Dan realm and the Golden Core realm?

Although spirit seeds after the second tier no longer require many spirit objects, they still need the most special advancement condition: the power of stars.

Having heard that those rated as having first-class talent are allowed to choose a rare treasure of rank four or below from the family treasury, Chen Qinghuai wanted to choose a star-type rare treasure.

Furthermore, you can choose from five spells.

Chen Qingshan's side needs a lot of luck, an extremely rich amount of luck.

To date, the entire fortune of the Chen family has only nurtured one Golden Core Realm Purple Star Spirit Seed.

There was no commotion on Chen Qingyu's side, because the osmanthus tree's advancement difficulty was very low, and it was easy to advance. All it needed to do was draw on the power of the moonlight in the inner world and create a pseudo-moon to advance.

Chen Qinghuai didn't speak again, because he knew that no matter how much he said or explained, it would be of no use.

His father meant well, but he didn't want to just follow the established path of cultivation; he wanted to forge his own path.

Chen Wenguan didn't try to persuade him any further, because his talent wasn't high; the inner space he created was only 150 meters in diameter, and his cultivation talent was far inferior to that of his son, Qinghuai.

Chen Wenguan: "Fine, you make the decision yourself. Perhaps my perspective is too rigid."

He felt that the first level of the Yuan Dan realm, which he had worked so hard to achieve over the decades, might just be the starting point for his son.

The family finds it most taboo for a mediocre person to instruct a genius.

Chen Qinghuai was taken aback, not expecting his father to give up trying to persuade him so quickly.

Chen Qinghuai: "Don't worry, Father. I will walk my own path."

Seeing that Qinghuai had stopped arguing, Chen Qingshan quickly said goodbye to his father and led Qingyu to Qinghuai's side.

"Qinghuai, we're about to set off. Have you made any arrangements on your end?" Chen Qingshan asked.

"Ready? Let's go to the assembly point!"

The three then walked toward the airship.

After the Yuan Dan realm cultivators guarding the flying boat verified the identities of Chen Qinghuai and his companions, they let them choose their own rooms to rest.

The highest-ranking cultivator on the flying boat was a member of the Chen clan from Qianhe Royal City at the ninth level of the Yuan Dan realm, who was specifically there to guide these newly established Foundation Establishment juniors.

"The airship will depart in fifteen minutes. Those who have not logged in, please board the airship immediately!"

The voice of the cultivator at the ninth level of the Yuan Dan realm echoed throughout the entire town.

Those who were still discussing the spirit seed with their parents were suddenly awakened and boarded the flying boat.

Fifteen minutes later.

"Uncle Changling, all 43 registered individuals in Jintao Town have arrived. Shall we activate the airship?"

"Let's get started. We need to get to Qianhe Royal City before noon."

"yes!"

Jintao Town is more than 8,000 kilometers away from Qianhe Royal City, which is relatively close to the rest of Taojin Niangzhou.

For even more distant locations, which can be tens of thousands of kilometers away, it's necessary to depart a day in advance.

The airship slowly rose and gradually formed an opaque protective shield, enveloping the entire airship.

Chen Qinghuai, Chen Qingshan, and the other two huddled together with the rest of their clansmen of similar age.

It was Chen Qingshan's first time riding a flying boat, and he was very curious about it. However, there were cultivators guarding the cabin, and they were not allowed to move around.

An hour later, the airship began to shake.

"We've arrived at Qianhe Royal City. Listen to my roll call and proceed in an orderly fashion, one by one."

"Chen Qingzhen, Chen Xiali, Chen Qinghuai..."

The roll call was done in order of age, so the older people went down first.

Chen Qingshan was the 32nd person to go down. The moment he stepped off the flying boat, the shocking scene left him speechless.

Thousands of airships were docked together, and dozens of enormous airships slowly descended.

"This length must be two or three thousand meters, right?" Chen Qingshan observed.

"Qingshan, why hasn't Qingyu come down yet?" Chen Qinghuai called out from below.

"I don't know, it should be just behind us," Chen Qingshan said, shaking his head.

Chen Qingshan walked down and stood side by side with Qing Huai, searching for Chen Qingyu's figure.

A short while later, Chen Qingyu also came out. After he got off, the flying boat retracted the ladder, and the cultivators on it also left the flying boat.

The cultivator at the ninth level of the Yuan Dan realm led Chen Qingshan and the others away to the ancestral land.
