Cultivating Immortality Begins with Rejuvenation.
Chapter 98 Second Life of Cultivation
Chapter 98 Second Life of Cultivation
The spiritual consciousness just now was concentrated, responding to the will of heaven and man, and guided by the spiritual inspiration of heaven and earth. It was a mysterious state, as if it was integrated with the great way of heaven and earth.
Not only did it break through the shielding restriction of the quiet room, even Master Jiadan and Yan Qingwan had no sense of it.
After leaving the main hall, Yan Qingwan finally couldn't help but ask, "Fan'er, you're not even satisfied with being an ordinary inner disciple?"
Li Ji'an couldn't bear it any longer at this moment, he staggered and immediately sat cross-legged on the ground to consolidate the sea of consciousness that had just been condensed.
This is also the biggest gain of this trip.
After a moment, when his sea of consciousness had stabilized, Li Ji'an smiled and responded, "Aunt, the deacon just explained the sect's rules. I learned that if you are just an ordinary inner sect disciple, not only will you not be able to inherit the sect's sacred law, but you will also need to frequently carry out sect missions and be forced to enter the secret realm trials. There are many risks involved. It is said that there are casualties in the secret realm trials every year.
My father once said: If you want to achieve immortality, safety is your top priority.
“…” Yan Qingwan was stunned for a moment.
Although she didn't think Li Ji'an would know about the sect elders' gradual inducements in the quiet room, she never expected that he would give up for this reason.
"Brother Li... he's never been willing to take risks or fight, that's fine, but he actually taught Fan'er this way?"
In the world of cultivation, resources are king, and you need to fight for opportunities and chances yourself.
If you are not willing to take even the slightest risk, are you still waiting for resources and opportunities to fall on your head?
Moreover, the sect trials are also for sharpening magical powers, and life-and-death battles can also increase understanding and help break through the bottleneck of realm.
These wilderness families have no chance to enter the secret realm to seek opportunities. If they had the chance to enter the secret realm, they would definitely rush in even if they knew there was a 50% mortality rate.
Cultivation is like thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge. How can you not fight and struggle?
Even she, as the core descendant of the family who has been nurtured since childhood, has been trying her best along the way and taking all the necessary risks.
Strive for cultivation resources, strive to become a pill master, and strive to get support from the clan in building the foundation.
……
After frowning for a moment, Yan Qingwan felt relieved.
As a father who has no family burden and no pressure of inheritance, I don’t ask my children to be successful, I just want them to be safe and happy, which is also a kind of love!
This kind of love is even purer than the love of wanting one's son to become successful.
At least she asked herself, if she had children, she probably wouldn't be able to do it.
After all, her grandfather had high hopes for her father's son to become a successful person, and her father had high hopes for her daughter to become a successful person. It would be difficult for her to suddenly stop asking for the next generation...
"Okay! Auntie finally understands." Yan Qingwan looked at Li Ji'an and finally realized that the decision she had made for him before was only based on her own cognition and ideas.
Perhaps Brother Li sent him into the clan not because he expected him to go far on the path of cultivation, but rather because he hoped that he would be safe and happy.
Without further ado, the two left Biyun Sect.
Returning to Jinhuang Immortal City again, Zhao Shuyao felt a little regretful when she learned the result, but she still encouraged him not to be discouraged and to take one step at a time. The future was still unknown. She left a jade talisman to communicate with Li Ji'an, asking him to keep in touch.
She didn't say anything else that might cause Yan Qingwan to misunderstand. After all, it was still the best outcome for Li Ji'an to return to the Yan family. At least he could get through the initial stage of Qi training more safely.
That day, Yan Qingwan returned with Li Ji'an.
Four months ago, Li Ji'an's spiritual test shocked the entire tribe. When he set out on his journey, many tribesmen were envious and full of expectations.
Now that I am returning, judging from the results alone, I feel a little disappointed.
However, both Yan Qingwan and Li Ji'an knew the real reason and were actually very calm in their hearts.
It’s not that Biyun Sect looks down on Li Ji’an, but that Li Ji’an gave up on Biyun Sect.
Yan Qingwan couldn't tell anyone else about being poached by the sect, as it would easily arouse suspicion within the clan.
Li Ji'an thought very clearly and had his own solid plan.
The biggest expectation for this life in the previous life was actually that my spiritual roots could be a little better, and that I could start out in the Yan family, without having to worry about my livelihood while practicing.
Now it has actually been achieved.
The trip to the sect was not without gain. At least the three-day trial of comprehension unexpectedly allowed him to break through the shackles of his previous life in terms of his soul.
Now that he was at the initial stage of building his foundation, his spiritual consciousness could almost guarantee his safety in the wilderness.
Four months later, Yan Qingwan brought Li Ji'an back to the clan.
Apart from some voices of regret, there were also some rumors. After all, the moment Li Ji'an went to participate in the sect trial, he actually drew a clear line with his family.
It is normal for the lower-level tribesmen to have some opinions when returning at this time.
A person from another family occupies the common resources of the clan and harms their vital interests.
That night, the head of the family, Yan Zongsheng, found him.
First, on behalf of the family, I discussed future development with him.
If Li Ji'an could change his surname and swear a great oath to never leave the Yan family in this life, the Yan family could train him as a core disciple of the clan. All resources would depend on Li Ji'an's performance in the future, but it was also made clear that he could not expect to build a foundation.
This condition had actually been Yan Zongsheng's spontaneous thought before Li Ji'an's spirit reading. At the time, he'd assumed Li Ji'an's joining the clan with the Immortal Ascension Order was a way to become a Yan family member, and changing his surname was an honor. However, the spirit reading's results made him realize he couldn't just accept this. Li Ji'an had anticipated this and had never intended for him to be trained as a core member. All he needed was for Li Ji'an to honor his previous life's promise and allow him to cultivate within the clan's dojo.
To be honest, he would not even take the free pills provided by the clan in this life. He had learned from experience in his previous life that non-fine pills that accelerate cultivation will cause his mana to be depleted and have more or less side effects. Even if he had to take pills in this life, he would only take the fine pills that he made himself.
After politely declining this condition, Yan Zongsheng reached a consensus with him in his personal capacity. Based solely on the alchemy inheritance left behind by his previous life and his achievements in helping Yan Qingwan become a senior alchemist, he could stay in the Yan family to practice, but he would not be able to obtain additional resources, and there would be no restrictions on him.
The next day, Yan Qingwan came again and taught him the top-grade "Flame Dragon Art" in her personal capacity, but she had to sign a soul contract not to teach it to other people. She also hired him as an alchemy boy in the clan, without any salary, but she could guide him in the art of alchemy.
Later, Yan Kongyi also recruited him as a talisman boy in his personal capacity, paying him a monthly salary of one spirit stone.
Yan Hongsheng was even more direct. This was his own spirit stone, so he could give it to whoever he wanted. Those who planted trees will enjoy the shade. His father planted trees for him, but he couldn't provide shade for him. He had to teach Li Ji'an how to cultivate his body.
In addition, they moved out of the Taoist temple of Qingwan Patriarch and allocated him a small courtyard on the edge of the spiritual vein.
However, the spiritual energy here is as abundant as that of a first-grade, mid-grade spiritual vein, which is sufficient for his Qi training. The key is that it is secluded and undisturbed here. After years of wandering, Gua Gua finally has a stable home.
At this point, at least the tribe members were shut up and there were no more rumors in public.
Li Ji'an finally began his steady path of cultivation in this world...
Compared with the previous life, it is far ahead!
-
Three years passed by in a flash.
"The fourth level of Qi training!" During the past three years, Li Ji'an postponed the requests of Yan Qingwan, Yan Kongyi and Yan Hongsheng on the grounds of prioritizing the cultivation of magic power, and devoted all his energy to cultivation.
With his strong physique and powerful spirit, he still practiced five times more every day than an ordinary person in the early stage of Qi training.
In his previous life, it took him three years to reach the third level of Qi training, and that was because he took a lot of training pills from Yan Qingwan. But in this life, it took him three years to directly break through to the middle stage of Qi training.
Three months ago, he had already mastered the third level of Qi training.
With the experience of reaching the bottleneck in the middle stage of Qi training in his previous life, he was very clear about the principle behind this hurdle. The main reason for the poor spiritual roots was that the spiritual pressure formed by absorbing spiritual energy at one time was insufficient to cause the transformation of the Dantian, so the assistance of the Breakthrough Pill was needed.
In this life, the efficiency of the nineteen fire spirit roots in absorbing spiritual energy is almost ten times that of the previous life. There is no problem with spiritual pressure. Once the transformation of the dantian and the principle of the gaseous magic power condensing into mist are understood, it can be achieved almost overnight.
The reason why it took him three months to break through was simply because he wanted to be safe. In fact, there was no bottleneck for him in the middle stage of Qi training.
"Compared to the peak of my previous life, my magic power is more condensed and more powerful. With this, the condensed alchemy fire can be used to directly try mid-term elixirs, and it should be enough for drawing talismans." After feeling it calmly, Li Ji'an felt relieved.
"Have you made a breakthrough?" Just as he finished his training, a loud shout came from outside the courtyard. It was Zhang Tiezhu's youngest son, Yan Qing.
Over the past three years, Yan Qing often came to see him and each time he would share some of his experiences and insights with him.
Yan Qing is two years older than him, has eleven strands of spiritual energy and is a mid-grade spiritual root. Half a year ago, he also broke through to the fourth level of Qi training without the help of the Breakthrough Pill.
"It was a fluke." Li Ji'an invited him into the yard.
"Dad is right, you really look like your dad, a monster!" Yan Qing sighed.
"Uncle Tiezhu is kind enough."
"Hey, are you really not considering joining the Yan family? It's okay if you don't want to change your surname. Just do like my father and marry a woman from the Yan family." Yan Qing persuaded again.
Li Ji'an waved his hands hurriedly: "Brother Qing, stop trying to persuade me. Everyone has their own aspirations, and I have my own ideas."
"What? Do you really want to hope to build a foundation? It's not easy out there." Yan Qing shook his head.
Li Ji'an said nothing more.
After sending Yan Qing away, Li Ji'an moved his consciousness and a frog head appeared in the pond beside the yard.
"Be patient. It's not a bad thing to polish yourself more. When I build my foundation, I will make you a blood-clotting pill to help you break through to the second level." Gua Gua had already reached the late stage of the first level five years ago, but with his low-grade bloodline talent, it was almost impossible for him to break through to the second level on his own. He had to rely on the blood-clotting pill for assistance.
However, the blood clotting pill is not much inferior to the foundation-building pill, so he cannot give it to him for the time being.
We can only keep encouraging each other.
Moreover, since returning to childhood and coming to the Yan family in the second life, it has spent almost all those seven years hunting in the mountains and being self-sufficient.
Li Ji'an felt that if it weren't for the Beast Taming Card, she might have left him long ago, so he often took time out to cultivate intimacy with her over the past three years, and now their relationship has warmed up.
After cultivating intimacy with Gua Gua for a while, I suddenly felt a shock in my arms.
Taking out the communication talisman, Li Ji'an raised his eyebrows slightly.
It’s Xiao Changfeng.
A year ago, Xiao Changfeng suddenly wrote to Li Ji'an and told him that after he voluntarily gave up, Xiao Changfeng filled the vacancy and became an inner disciple as he wished. In gratitude for Li Ji'an's kindness, he later sent a communication talisman and kept in touch with him frequently.
During a previous communication, Li Ji'an asked him to help find out the news about Zhu Linxian. After all, among the five people who came to the cultivation world together, only Zhu Linxian had no news.
Now there is finally some clue.
