My path to immortality was smooth sailing.

Qiu Niang was a skilled cook, and she prepared a large table of dishes for the evening, but unfortunately only Wei Jing and the clan elder Wei Qingmu were present.

Tie Zhu has already left Yu Die Feng; he was said to have been sent out to work as a manager.

Xiaoju also went along. Although Tiezhu's future in cultivation was bleak, it would be relatively easy for him to become a steward in the mortal world and gain a lifetime of wealth.

My eldest uncle, Wei Yue, is also not on Jade Stack Peak. He went out to carry out a family mission to transport spirit rice and has not returned for more than half a year.

"Jing'er, you are a good child."

"Tiezhu is a good kid too."

Although Elder Wei Qingmu was a bit old-fashioned, he truly cared about the two of them.

"Tiezhu, sigh!" Wei Qingmu shook his head.

"However, being a wealthy man in the mortal world is not bad either. The path to immortality is elusive, and throughout history, how many people have been able to reach the pinnacle?"

Wei Qingmu sighed, recalling that he too had been full of passion and enthusiasm in his youth.

However, the path to immortality is difficult. Wei Qingmu was also stuck at a bottleneck for more than ten years. No matter how hard you try, you can never see any hope, your cultivation makes no progress, and you can't find any direction, which makes you feel confused and trapped.

"Elder, I will never forget your kindness."

"I'd like to offer you a toast." Wei Jing raised his wine glass and respectfully toasted Wei Qingmu.

The elder waved his hand.

"Jing'er, you are exceptionally talented and quick-witted. Your trip to the Suixu Secret Realm has made you quite famous. I heard from the clan leader that even the sect leader of the Qingfu Sect values ​​you highly and personally extended an invitation."

"In my opinion, your future lies not in your family, but in the Qingfu Sect."

Elder Wei Qingmu tried to persuade Wei Jing with earnest words, but Wei Jing remained silent.

"Jing'er, you are different. It's a certainty that you will reach the Foundation Establishment stage in the future. Your future is bright, and you don't need to be confined to this small corner of the family."

"Hmm!" Wei nodded.

"I'll consider it."

After a few rounds of drinks, Wei Jing became more talkative.

"Qiu Niang, I'm so happy that you're willing to stay and serve me."

"But I always have a knot in my heart. You're not young anymore, you're a grown woman, it's not good for you to always be following me around."

"If you take a fancy to any talented person in the Wei clan, I will make the decision for you."

Wei Jing patted his chest and assured him.

Qiu Niang has been with him for seven or eight years, and is now a young woman of twenty-three or twenty-four.

Qiu Niang pursed her lips and said, "This servant doesn't want anything else, I am willing to serve the young master for the rest of my life."

"Alas, there's no need for that," Wei Jing sighed.

Qiu Niang lowered her head and remained silent.

Wei Qingmu didn't say much, and the three of them fell silent for a moment.

The meal was eaten very late, and both Wei Jing and the clan elder Wei Qingmu drank a lot of wine.

The three of them parted ways only after the moon had passed the willow branches.

……

After returning to his room, Wei Jing circulated his internal energy to expel all the smell of alcohol from his body.

Then I began to mentally review and recall the contents of the Yi Wood Gen Earth Technique.

As a dual-attribute technique, the Yi Wood Gen Earth Technique is much more complex than the Yi Wood Evergreen Technique, but Wei Jing can still see a trace of the Yi Wood Evergreen Technique in it.

Two hours later, Wei Jing felt he had fully understood the technique, so he began to circulate his qi throughout his body.

All his spiritual power was transformed into the spiritual power of the Yi Wood and Gen Earth Technique.

Wei Jing was well prepared. This was a long and painstaking process, and a complete transformation would take anywhere from three to five months to a year and a half.

Night fell. All was silent on Dieyu Peak, save for the low whistling of the wind through the pine forest and the occasional croaking of frogs from the distant spiritual fields.

Moonlight seeped in through the cracks in the window, spreading a thin layer of silver frost on the bluestone floor.

Wei Jing sat cross-legged on the bed, his eyes slightly closed, his breathing long and even.

"Yi Wood Gen Earth Technique." Wei Jing silently recited the key points and profound meanings of this technique in his mind, and reviewed the content he had digested in the Transmission Hall again, examining it word by word.

"Buzz!"

As spiritual energy gathered around, the air suddenly trembled.

A large amount of spiritual energy suddenly surged into Wei Jing's body.

Wei Jing circulated the Qi throughout the body, refining the spiritual energy while simultaneously refining the spiritual power of the Yi Wood Evergreen Technique.

As expected of an attribute-based cultivation technique, two kinds of spiritual energy, one green and one yellow, appeared in Wei Jing's dantian and continued to intertwine and merge.

Wei Jing's robes fluttered and rustled even without wind. His hair rose slightly, and the air within three feet of him distorted and deformed.

A surge of spiritual energy.

Wei Jing focused on his cultivation, and nothing was said that night.

The next morning, Wei Jing moved directly into the underground secret chamber to go into seclusion.

"The situation is not optimistic. Changing the cultivation method is much more difficult than I imagined. I'm afraid it would be excellent if we could completely switch within a year."

However, Wei Jing was confident; he was single-minded and devoted all his energy to cultivation.

Time flies, and life is like flowing water.

A year later, Wei Jing finally completed the refining of his spiritual power.

"Phew, it's finally done."

"It was worth the hard work and dedication of the past year."

During that year, Wei Jing immersed himself in ascetic-like spiritual practice.

"The cultivation technique conversion is successful. I need to break through to the sixth level of Qi Refining." Wei Jing muttered to himself. It seemed that not long after Wei Long returned, he had broken through to the sixth level of Qi Refining.

However, Wei Jing was focused on cultivation.

In the second year of his seclusion, Wei Jing also broke through to the sixth level of Qi Refining, catching up with the cultivation levels of Elder Wei Qingmu and his uncle.

After breaking through, Wei Jing briefly emerged from seclusion.

"What?! You've broken through to the sixth level of Qi Refining? My goodness!" Uncle Wei Yue was extremely shocked.

"Dual-attribute cultivation techniques are truly remarkable," Wei Yue said with great envy.

The Yi Wood and Gen Earth Technique has been included in the sect's library and can only be practiced by those who have made great contributions to the family.

After a brief reunion with his uncle Wei Yue, Wei Jing once again entered a state of seclusion and arduous cultivation.

With dual-attribute cultivation techniques and ample cultivation resources such as pills, Wei Jing's cultivation speed was incredibly fast.

"Sigh! It's a pity I gained an extra water elemental root for nothing, otherwise I would have broken through to the seventh level of Qi Refining by now." Wei Jing sighed, but there was nothing he could do about it.

By cultivating a dual-attribute technique, the chaotic spiritual energy within Wei Jing's body split into four types of spiritual energy, and he was able to absorb two of them.

Absorbing half of the spiritual energy, this can be considered the cultivation speed of someone with dual spiritual roots.

Wei Jing comforted himself.

Even with four spiritual roots, it wouldn't hinder Wei Jing for long.

In the third year of his seclusion, Wei Jing successfully broke through to the seventh level of Qi Refining.

Qi Refining Level 7. This is the first major hurdle Wei Jing has faced after three years of seclusion. From the mid-stage of Qi Refining to the late-stage of Qi Refining, it seems like only one level is different, but in reality, it is a world of difference.

Throughout history, countless cultivators have been stuck at the sixth level of Qi Refining, spending their entire lives unable to cross that threshold, ultimately dying in despair and regret.

Elder Wei Qingmu was like this, as was his eldest uncle Wei Yue, both of whom had been stuck at the sixth level of Qi Refining for decades.

But for Wei Jing, this hurdle was easily overcome.

All of this is thanks to his special destiny and the Yi Wood Gen Earth Technique, a martial art tailor-made for him.

Having achieved the breakthrough, Wei Jing ended his seclusion.

He slowly walked out of the courtyard. Qiu Niang had planted many flowers in the courtyard. It was springtime, and butterflies and bees were fluttering around them.

Seeing this, Wei Jing felt much better.

Just then, a person rushed towards Wei Jing's courtyard.

"Brother Jing, this is terrible! We're going to be swept five times in our tournament against the Chu family."

"Sister Wei Yun has been defeated, and Wei Long and Wei Qingyao have also been defeated. Now that Wei Tiezhu is on the field, he probably won't last more than a few rounds."

"The Seventh Elder sent me to find you and ask you to come out of seclusion."

Upon hearing this, Wei Jing was quite surprised.

"Who can defeat four of the strongest members of the younger generation of the Wei family in one fell swoop?"

"It's Chu Rusong. He's broken through to the seventh level of Qi Refining."

No wonder, Wei Jing understood.

However, Chu Rusong has already broken through, so why is Wei Yun still not making any progress? She has been stuck at the sixth level of Qi Refining for a long time.

"Since I'm just coming out of seclusion, I'll accompany you on this trip!" Wei Jing said with a faint smile.

"Great!" The young clansman was overjoyed. With Brother Jing taking action, he was sure to be able to reverse his fate.
