I became an immortal by synthesizing plants.

After the preparations were almost complete, Chen Qingshan opened the cave and brought his parents in.

This is where Chen Qingshan planted the Daoist Giant Cypress, and it is also the place with the most abundant spiritual energy in this area.

Looking into the distance, Chen Wenshang suddenly asked, "Qingshan, why is this grotto-heaven so spacious and rich in spiritual energy, yet so sparse in spiritual plants?"

Chen Qingshan glanced at it and replied awkwardly, "This is a grotto-heaven that the ancestor gave me, but the spiritual plants have all been moved away by those cultivators, so now I need to replant them."

Chen Liuyue said excitedly, "Then I'll help Shan'er plant some spiritual plants, since I don't have much to do anyway."

Chen Qingshan hesitated for a moment and said, "Mother, don't bother, I can handle these things myself."

Chen Liuyue completely ignored Chen Qingshan's words and went to an open space on her own.

Helpless, Chen Qingshan could only begin to gather spiritual energy.

The surrounding spiritual energy is incredibly dense; enough spiritual energy can be collected in just three to five days.

Chen Wenshang also went to farm, saying he wanted to grow a peach orchard.

Helpless, Chen Qingshan could only stay in place and purify the materials.

Five days later, Chen Qingshan went to call the enthusiastic Chen Wenshang back.

After glancing at the materials, Chen Qingshan said, "Father, when I'm fusing the materials later, I'll call you over. Use the Dantian Nurturing Treasure Technique."

Chen Wenshang nodded and stood obediently to the side.

Now Chen Qingshan is even more adept at refining materials, and he condensed the prototype of the Azure Lotus Banner in just one hour.

Chen Wenshang was dumbfounded. He never expected that his son had improved so much in weapon crafting over the years.

Chen Qingshan: "Dad, that's enough!"

Chen Wenshang immediately stepped forward and used the Dantian Nurturing Treasure Technique.

After forcing out his life essence and blood and merging it into the Azure Lotus Treasure Banner, the Azure Lotus Treasure Banner was completely finalized.

The rank began to rise slowly.

However, the materials Chen Qingshan used this time were not very suitable for the top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Eastern Azure Lotus Treasure Banner, which he had imagined. Its grade only remained at the low-grade acquired spiritual treasure level.

Chen Qingshan originally estimated that the Azure Lotus Treasure Banner would at least be upgraded to the middle grade, but unexpectedly it only remained at the low grade.

Chen Wenshang was very satisfied; a low-grade acquired spiritual treasure was even higher in rank than a celestial artifact.

Chen Wenshang was completely satisfied as he helped Chen Qingshan plant spiritual plants all over the world.

After finishing crafting the magic weapon, Chen Qingshan sat cross-legged under the shade of a tree, watching the two busy figures, and smiled.

Over the next few months, one spiritual plant after another sprouted new shoots.

Chen Qingshan was also preparing to leave the mangrove forest and return to the Natural Palace to refine natal spirit treasures for the other clansmen.

Chen Qingshan's parents stayed in the mangrove cave to plant spiritual plants.

This is also their way of passing the time.

Inside the Natural Hall, Chen Qingshan took out many materials, preparing to refine the remaining four flags as well.

Of course, you also need to choose the right person to use it, otherwise you'll be wasting this wonderful magical treasure and its name.

The treasures that Chen Qingshan crafted were merely imitations, possessing only the form but lacking the spirit.

The giant cypress tree in the backyard is still asleep, but the array it has generated is becoming more and more powerful, and the plot of land surrounded by the array seems to have disappeared.

Chen Qingshan's cultivation level had not improved for many years. Apart from deepening his understanding of the Great Dao of Life and the Great Dao of Wood, he had not cultivated much in the other areas.

The crabapple blossoms by the door are in bloom.

Standing under the crabapple tree, Ancestor Qiyuan asked with a smile, "Qingshan, have you not fused with any new spiritual plants in the past few years?"

Chen Qingshan shook his head and explained, "Now it's not about consuming my own luck anymore, it's about consuming the luck of the entire Taojin Niang Prefecture. I dare not use it recklessly."

Chen Qingshan's answer left Qi Yuan Patriarch speechless.

But he was pleased that Qingshan was thinking of the clan.

"Qingshan, take a trip these next few years. Don't spend all your time busy," said Ancestor Qiyuan, seemingly noticing Chen Qingshan's fatigue.

Chen Qingshan was puzzled; he was neither busy nor tired.

"Thank you, Ancestor. I am not tired and do not need to rest," Chen Qingshan said with a smile.

Ancestor Qiyuan shook his head, looking at Chen Qingshan with kind eyes, and said, "You're thinking too much, you're considering too many things, but you're only at the Golden Core Realm. Even if the sky falls, we old bones are still here for you. You don't need to worry too much."

Chen Qingshan looked at his body and sighed inwardly, "No wonder it has become increasingly difficult to comprehend the laws over the years; it turns out I have too many thoughts."

Then Chen Qingshan cupped his hands in greeting to the ancestor, asking him to take care of the Dao Spirit Giant Cypress and the Enlightened Fusang, before leaving the Natural Hall.

After leaving Qianhe Royal City, Chen Qingshan switched to walking.

Chen Qingshan's first stop was Hualing Town, next to Qianhe Royal City, the hometown of his Uncle Huaiyi.

The city of Qianhe is too crowded, so many people go to build towns nearby and invite their relatives and friends to live together.

Chen Qingshan read about the deeds of Uncle Huaiyi in the town history of Hualing Town.

Hualing Town was founded by a Golden Core cultivator named Jingwu, approximately ten thousand years ago, according to the records.

This time period, or rather, Taojin Niangzhou, did not give a name to it.

Because the patriarch Qiyuan didn't care much about this matter, and most people didn't know when the family was established by the patriarch Qiyuan, the family's name was not established.

[Second son of Duke Weiling, Duke Huaiyi]

[Lord Huaiyi entered the Purple Palace at the age of 18, and rose to the Yuan Dan realm at the age of 26. In the same year, Lord Huaiyi gave birth to a son, Lord Beihe.]

[At the age of 43, Lord Huaiyi advanced to the Golden Elixir Realm.]

The following year, Beihe Gong perished in Xiafeng Cave and was buried in Xuhai Mountain.

[The True Man Huaiyi passed away in the Immortal Cave Heaven and was buried in Xutian Mountain. He had no direct blood relatives.]

The life of Uncle Huaiyi was engraved in just a hundred characters. The gold seal had faded slightly, but Chen Qingshan waved his hand and it shone brightly again.

As he walked into the town, Chen Qingshan heard all sorts of cheerful laughter.

However, Chen Qingshan seemed to be detached from the world, showing no emotional fluctuations.

The town has shops, restaurants, and stalls selling all sorts of trinkets.

Chen Qingshan walked up to a snack stall and bought a snack with his spirit stones.

Chen Qingshan smiled and asked the stall owner, "Hello, could you tell me how to get to Xutian Mountain and Xuhai Mountain?"

The stall owner pointed to the mountain not far away and said, "Just keep walking that way. There's a stone tablet at the foot of the mountain, so you won't get lost."

Chen Qingshan thanked him and left.

The stall owner was just an ordinary person with no cultivation whatsoever.

However, Chen Qingshan frequently attracted the attention of young men and women who had just embarked on the path of cultivation as he walked along the road.

Chen Qingshan completely unleashed his power. Although the aura of the Golden Core Realm did not spread throughout the entire town, it could definitely be sensed within a few meters.

"Wow! What a young Golden Core Ancestor!" the girl exclaimed in astonishment to her companion.

"I can feel it." His companion stared intently at Chen Qingshan, not looking away.
