Mortal Cultivation to Immortality: I Have 108,000 Techniques

Currently, Qinye Ridge is home to only one powerful immortal cultivation clan, the Ye family.

But many years ago, there was another family, the Qin family, whose reputation was no less than that of the Ye family.

The two families have been related by marriage for generations and get along very well.

However, as the Qin family had no successors, it gradually declined, while the Ye family prospered and became famous.

The relationship between the two families gradually faded.

Master Jin Guang was the last male member of the Qin family capable of cultivation. Although his aptitude was extremely poor, he possessed a certain ability to read people's expressions.

After discovering that the Ye family was plotting something sinister, he hurriedly took the Ascension Token, talismans, and a few other items and fled Qinye Ridge, whereupon he went into hiding under an assumed name.

As for the remaining treasures, they cannot be retrieved for the time being due to the restrictions and seals.

Master Jin Guang had no choice but to reluctantly give it up and leave it to the Ye family.

Among those treasures was a technique called "Beast Demon Rebirth Technique" left behind by a Core Formation stage ancestor of the Qin family!

The Qin family ancestors placed numerous restrictions on the place where they stored the cultivation techniques.

There is even a bloodline restriction layer that only Qin family cultivators can open.

The Ye family was helpless against this restriction, so they allowed their family members to marry ordinary people from the main branch of the Qin family and have children.

Just recently.

Among the descendants born from the marriage between the Ye and Qin families, four children with spiritual roots have emerged, and all of them have already reached the Qi Refining stage.

Ye Guangyuan, the eldest elder of the Ye family, has finally reached the Pseudo-Core stage. It seems that as long as he takes one more step, he will be able to break through to the Core Formation stage!

It also happened to be Ye Guangyuan's 180th birthday.

One happy event after another.

then.

The Ye family felt the time was right to break the bloodline restriction and retrieve the Qin family's last treasure!

Furthermore, because the Ye family wanted to form a marriage alliance with the Wan family, they proposed to use the "Beast Demon Rebirth Technique" as a betrothal gift to marry a female cultivator from the Wan family.

The Wan family wanted to buy the Chen family's talismans, and upon learning that the Chen family was searching for cultivation techniques, they revealed this information.

When Zhang Yi learned the details, he was speechless.

The relationships between cultivation families are intertwined through marriage, exchange of benefits, and close, inseparable connections.

If not.

The Chen family was also unable to digest Zhang Yi's intermediate-level talisman, let alone find pills or spiritual herbs for him!

The "Beast Demon Rebirth Technique" is an evil cultivation method that originated from an evil sect that has long been destroyed.

When cultivating this technique, the cultivator needs to choose a demon beast, refine its essence and soul into their body, and obtain the demon beast's innate supernatural abilities.

The higher one's cultivation level, the more demonic beasts one can refine, thus transforming oneself time and time again.

Upon reaching a high level of cultivation, a cultivator's magical power, primordial spirit, and physical body will all receive a significant boost!

"The fact that it can refine the essence of demonic beasts and integrate it into one's primordial spirit without the risk of mental derangement shows that this technique has its merits."

Zhang Yi pondered for a moment and then made a decision: "It seems I have to make a trip to Qinye Ridge."

After making some preparations, he took a batch of talismans and then piloted a flying boat away from the Taiyue Mountains.

Qingzhou was one of the thirteen prefectures and counties of the Yue Kingdom.

Qinye Ridge is located within this prefecture.

After Zhang Yi arrived, he claimed to be a rogue cultivator who came to celebrate the birthday of the Ye family's eldest elder and successfully entered Qin Ye Ridge.

Ye Guangyuan is currently riding high, beaming with joy.

Of course he can be proud.

Because the Ye family is about to break through the last treasure-sealing barrier of the Qin family!

From this day forward, there will be no more Qin family members on Qinye Ridge, and no trace of the Qin family will remain!

Qin Ye Ridge will belong entirely to the Ye family!

Ye Guangyuan is already considering whether to change Qinye Ridge to "Ye Family Ridge".

but.

At this joyous time, something happened that made Ye Guangyuan very unhappy.

"I wish to form a marriage alliance with the Wan family of Kuyashan, and they refuse?"

Ye Guangyuan was secretly furious, "Once I reach the Core Formation stage, I'll make them pay!"

Just then.

A junior colleague, who was usually favored by Ye Guangyuan, rushed in in a great hurry.

"Ancestor! Something terrible has happened!"

The younger man cried out in alarm.

Ye Guangyuan flew into a rage and shouted, "What's wrong with such a joyous occasion?"

The voice was very loud, exuding an air of authority from someone who had long held a high position.

The younger man realized he had spoken out of turn and quickly apologized profusely.

"alright."

Ye Guangyuan waved his hand and said, "Tell me the truth about what happened."

"When Third Uncle and the others were breaking the seal, they suffered a backlash for some reason and were seriously injured," the junior hurriedly said.

"How is this possible?"

Ye Guangyuan found it hard to believe for a moment.

The Ye family's array masters examined it multiple times and confirmed that it was indeed a layer of bloodline restriction.

The Ye family now has four members at the Qi Refining stage, all of whom possess the bloodline of the Qin family. They should be able to break through the restriction smoothly!

How could I suffer a backlash?

Ye Guangyuan had a vague feeling that something was wrong. "I'll go take a look."

He walked quickly, bypassing numerous buildings and palaces, and entered a secluded valley.

This place was originally the Qin family's treasure trove, but now it is a forbidden area for the Ye family.

The rest of Qinye Ridge had long been occupied by the Ye family, who built various scenic spots and caves.

Only this valley retains the appearance it had during the Qin family's heyday.

Ye Guangyuan walked straight into the deepest part of the valley and came to a simple thatched hut.

Two Ye family cultivators were sitting cross-legged outside the thatched hut, circulating their energy and regulating their breathing.

Judging from the violent fluctuations in their magical power, they had clearly just suffered a significant injury.

Fortunately, his life was not in danger.

Ye Guangyuan breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the thatched hut.

The restrictions on it were not only intact, but had even become thicker, with wisps of blood-red light swirling around them.

The four members of the Qin family who were supposed to participate in breaking the taboo here were nowhere to be found.

Ye Guangyuan's expression immediately darkened.

Much later.

The two Ye family cultivators finally stabilized their injuries and ended their meditation.

They were all Foundation Establishment stage cultivators and served as family elders. Upon seeing Ye Guangyuan arrive, they all bowed and greeted him.

Ye Guangyuan asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"

A Ye family cultivator with a mature appearance hurriedly replied, "Elder, those four juniors do not have the bloodline of the Qin family at all."

When we both suffered the backlash, they were both annihilated by the power of the restriction!

Ye Guangyuan was incredulous. "What?"

I remember that these four descendants were the only remaining mortal male members of the Qin family's main lineage, born from their union with mortal members of my Ye family.

Who is interfering and daring to ruin our clan's grand plan?

The experienced cultivator looked troubled and hesitated before saying, "Elder, you may not know this."

These four younger members of the clan are half-siblings, and their nominal father is indeed a mortal from the main branch of the Qin family, and a son-in-law of my Ye family.

Upon hearing this, Ye Guangyuan became even more puzzled, "If that's the case, how come there's no Qin family bloodline?"

He realized what was going on halfway through the conversation.

The experienced cultivator coughed, "I heard that those mortal women all have many close friends..."

"What's the point of keeping such a lowly servant girl around?"

Ye Guangyuan laughed in anger, "Chop them all up and feed them to the dogs!"

"That Qin family brat is a good-for-nothing. He's been a cuckold four times, and he didn't even notice anything amiss?"

Although the Qin family has many ordinary people and seems to be a large and prosperous family, in reality, there is only this one male member who can be considered a true member of the Qin family.

Other mortals are too far removed from the main lineage, and their bloodline power is weak.

Even if offspring with spiritual roots are born, they cannot be used to break the restrictions.

"Oh, right."

Ye Guangyuan coldly ordered, "Not only must that brat from the Qin family continue to have offspring, but disciples in the clan with poor spiritual root aptitude must also choose ordinary women from the Qin family as concubines."

Within three years, I must meet a descendant of the Qin family with spiritual roots.

Both Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Ye family respectfully agreed.

They certainly wanted to break the restrictions as soon as possible.

Just now.

Suddenly a voice came from outside the valley.

"Does Fellow Daoist Ye think it's a bit too late to start having children now?"

"It will take at least ten years for these descendants to complete their cultivation, right?"
