A daily divination, from family tortoise shells to immortal clans.

The barbarian's eyes were lowered, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

Seeing this, Chen Qingmo waited quietly.

After a long while, the barbarian spoke: "Fellow Daoist, you are from the Chen family of Linyuan County, right?"

Instead of answering directly, he asked a question in return.

"Indeed, what is the meaning of your question, fellow Daoist?"

The Chen family's reputation has grown over the years, and the barbarians can easily obtain this intelligence if they pay a little attention.

"Since you want my clan's body-forging method, why not exchange it for your cultivation techniques?"

The barbarian smiled slightly and spoke.

Just now, he received a telepathic message from the leader of the barbarian tribe.

Chen Qingmo frowned, somewhat puzzled.

The barbarians obtained cultivation techniques from the human race, but their people found it difficult to practice them.

It is said that the two races have different physical spiritual organs, making this type of cultivation method difficult to apply.

"Could it be that there are now people among the barbarians who can cultivate human techniques?"

Chen Qingmo thought to himself, surprised by his own deduction.

"If you are unwilling, then there is no point in discussing this matter."

"My barbarian foundation building and body tempering method is no worse than your foundation building techniques. It's only because you are a foundation building cultivator that I'm willing to exchange with you."

The barbarian's smile slowly faded, turning cold.

If there is no benefit for either side, there is indeed no need to waste words.

After a moment of contemplation, Chen Qingmo decided to make the exchange.

He also had a rubbing of a water-attribute foundation-building technique.

Originally intended for Chen Weisheng to study and extract its advantages, but since his son couldn't use it, it has been kept in his storage bag.

This cultivation technique's upper limit is the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, so it's not considered particularly valuable.

"Okay, but I need to check it first."

Chen Qingmo didn't want the other party to leave any hidden dangers in their cultivation techniques.

The two then exchanged techniques and carefully observed each other.

An hour later, Chen Qingmo nodded slightly.

The technique is correct; it is indeed the foundational chapter of the Body Tempering Method.

However, the opponent also had a trick up their sleeve; this method can only be cultivated to the late Foundation Establishment stage and is not complete.

The barbarian finished reading, and although he was somewhat dissatisfied, he didn't say anything.

The Chen family's foundation was ultimately too weak to compare with that of their entire clan.

It's already quite an achievement to be able to produce this manual.

Thinking this, the barbarian put away the technique.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Chen Qingmo quickly got up to take his leave.

After he left, another person appeared in the room.

"Brother, why did you exchange cultivation techniques with this human cultivator?"

The barbarian who had spoken with Chen Qingmo earlier bowed respectfully to this person.

"The holy son of our clan has been born, and this cultivation method was found for him."

"Otherwise, I will definitely have to meet this human cultivator."

Shi Wei looked in the direction Chen Qingmo had left and snorted coldly.

He was at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, and no one in Dongze and Linyuan counties could rival him.

"I can tell he has practiced my clan's body-forging techniques, but only scratched the surface."

"Otherwise, why would I have let him leave?"

The Foundation Building and Body Tempering Method had been obtained by the three major sects of Qi, so Shi Wei was willing to exchange it.

"So that's how it is. The Holy Son is the one who led our race to rise in the prophecy of the ancestral spirits. He can cultivate the techniques of various races. No wonder my brother wanted to make an exchange."

The barbarian had a look of sudden realization.

Shi Wei didn't say anything more and left with the cultivation manual.

He happened to arrive here, and at this time he was going to other places to look for human cultivation techniques.

Chen Qingmo, who was on his way, was unaware of this.

He still had some doubts in his mind. The tortoise shell was an ominous sign, yet the exchange of cultivation techniques had gone so smoothly.

"Could it be that Wei Lan's cultivation of the body-tempering method is the trigger?"

Chen Qingmo thought for a long time, but still couldn't come up with a clue.

But the result was good; Chen Weilan had obtained the Foundation Building and Body Tempering Technique and could continue cultivating.

……

Tai Xuan Mountain, Blood Pool on the back mountain.

"Wei Lan, the cultivation technique has been found for you."

"But there is one thing I must make clear to you: never go to the lands of the barbarians."

Chen Qingmo taught Chen Weilan the body-strengthening method and gave her earnest advice.

"Father, I will remember this!"

Chen Weilan said solemnly.

My father looked so serious; he must have encountered something over there.

He didn't want to cause trouble for his family, so it didn't matter where he cultivated.

"Where do you plan to send Tongyue?"

Chen Qingmo paused for a moment, then suddenly said.

Chen Tongyue is Chen Weilan's second son, and he has just had his spiritual root talent tested.

He was just an ordinary person.

Ordinary people usually live in Xinghe Village or Xiyun Town.

"Zhiwei said to take Tongyue with us first, and then send him to town when he's a bit older."

"His eldest sister at least has spiritual roots, so even though her aptitude isn't great, she can still live with us in the mountains."

"It can be traversed..."

As they were talking, Chen Weilan fell silent.

"Wei Lan, have you ever considered having Tong Yue practice the Body Tempering Technique?"

Chen Qingmo had carefully studied the cultivation methods of the Body Tempering Technique.

The acupoints involved are quite different from those in human martial arts techniques.

Therefore, even ordinary people can try cultivation.

However, even for cultivators practicing body tempering techniques, the path is extremely dangerous, and for ordinary people, it is even more perilous, with nine out of ten chances of death.

"Father, I have considered this matter, but out of love for my child, I have abandoned this idea."

"Now that you've brought it up, I think we should let Tongyue make the decision himself, just like you let me make the decision back then."

Chen Weilan thought back to the moment she chose to cultivate the Body Tempering Method.

He chose this path precisely because he was so unqualified.

"In that case, you can use martial arts methods to temper Tongyue's body."

"Even if he doesn't want to practice the body-strengthening method, he can still use it to improve his health and prolong his life."

Martial artists are also quite powerful among ordinary people, and they are often involved in border wars.

When they cultivate to a high level, they can contend with some cultivators in the early stages of Qi Refining.

Chen Qingmo was born into a family of cultivators, so he wouldn't have paid much attention to this before.

But now that there are children in the grandchildren generation without spiritual roots, it would be helpful to find a way to help them embark on the path of cultivation.

Even if one cannot travel the world like a cultivator, one can still witness the vastness of heaven and earth.

"Alright, then shall Father come with me to find Tongyue?"

Chen Weilan asked her father for his thoughts.

"You and your son can talk, I'll watch quietly from the side."

Chen Tongyue was only six years old, and Chen Qingmo didn't want him to feel pressured.

Afterwards, Chen Weilan went outside the school to wait for Chen Tongyue to finish school.

About half an hour later, the father and son arrived at a pavilion.

Chen Tongyue's eyes widened in confusion, wondering why his father had brought him here.

The spiritual root test he took a few days ago left him feeling disappointed.

In the past, when my older brothers and sisters took the test, colorful lights would appear.

When it was his turn, the test monument showed no reaction.

He initially thought the test marker was broken, but he stubbornly tried it a few more times.

But the result was obvious: he had no spiritual root.

In the following days, Chen Tongyue studied and learned to read at the school, and soon forgot about the incident.

Until today, his father brought him here.

"Tongyue, you don't have the aptitude for cultivation, so you can't stay in Taixuan Mountain when you grow up."

"Father, I know."

Chen Tongyue nodded understandingly.

He also discovered it in the school these past few days.

The grandfather who was in charge of teaching always talked about some common sense about cultivating immortality after teaching them to read.

He listened with great interest and longed to hear it.

But he also knew that he had no spiritual roots and dared not ask for anything.

He is content to be able to live with his parents now.

Chen Weilan looked at her son, feeling a pang of heartache.

A six-year-old child being so well-behaved must be causing him immense distress.

"Tongyue, your father has a way to guide you onto the path of cultivation."

"Although you are different from your older brothers and sisters, you can stay as long as you succeed in your cultivation."

After hearing what Chen Weilan said, Chen Tongyue's eyes widened even more.

"Father, really?!"

Chen Tong asked in a louder voice, his joy growing even stronger.
