Family Cultivation: My Ancestral Home Gets Infinite Upgrades

Jiang Fu'an sank his consciousness deep into his mind and indeed saw that the ball of light inside was a size larger than before.

Through the hazy light, one could vaguely see that next to the original solitary thatched hut, another one had appeared.

Now they are two rooms side by side.

At the same time, there have been new changes to the attribute panel of the ancestral home:

[Ancestral Home lv.2]

[Successfully inherited: 8 years]

[Owned Buildings]

[Bedroom (Eugenics): Offspring conceived in the bedroom have a significantly increased probability of developing spiritual roots, destiny, or special constitutions.]

[Ancestral Hall (Blessing): Every year, there is a certain chance to receive a blessing opportunity]

[Individual Rewards]

Lifespan: +50 years

[Number of copies: +1 (used to copy the destiny or special constitution of offspring)]

[Upgrade Requirements: The family must have one mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator and two early-stage Qi Refining cultivators, and own 1,000 acres of fertile land]

Festival hall...

He was familiar with this house; many ordinary people would build such a room to worship gods.

However, he himself had never built such a house.

Firstly, in his early years, his family was barely making ends meet and didn't have enough money to build a shrine.

Secondly, he didn't believe in these things in his previous life, and he was too lazy to even go in and take a look when he passed by a temple.

But things are different now.

This shrine might bring good fortune once a year, so it absolutely must be built.

As for the present, he plans to make do for now.

The effect of the ancestral hall is linked to the actual main hall.

Anyway, the memorial tablet of his first wife, Wang Lanhua, was always placed in the corner of the main room, so it could be considered a place of worship.

Jiang Fu'an glanced down and saw that the lifespan reward had increased from ten years to fifty years, and his heart warmed instantly.

Now, his lifespan is comparable to that of a Qi Refining stage cultivator.

With a slight thought, a semi-transparent panel, visible only to him, appeared before his eyes:

Name: Jiang Fu'an

Age: 28

Lifespan: 60 + 50

Hidden injuries: 1 (reducing lifespan by 3 years)

[Destiny: None]

[Spiritual Roots: Five Elemental Spiritual Roots]

[Special Physique: Devourer (Purple)]

A full 110 years of lifespan!

Jiang Fu'an immediately felt a strong sense of security.

However, he also knew that this was only a theoretical age.

If new injuries or hidden ailments are inflicted, lifespan will still be shortened.

Just like this body could have lived to sixty-three, but a few years ago, when it was injured while hunting, it didn't seem serious at the time, but who knew it would leave a hidden injury that would shorten its lifespan by three years.

He shook his head and continued reading.

The extra copy count made him ponder.

Currently, the most outstanding destiny and physique in the family are Yue'er's "blessed by good fortune" and "beast spirit body".

I am still just a mortal, so raising spirit beasts is out of the question, and the "Beast Spirit Body" is not a consideration for the time being.

As for "good fortune shining upon you"...

Yue'er is growing up soon, and perhaps we can take her with us when we go hunting in the mountains in the future.

With such a lucky star by his side, his "lucky star shining brightly" destiny no longer had much effect on him.

Jiang Fu'an pondered for a moment and decided to save this opportunity for later.

I'll try my best this winter to get Su Wanqing pregnant.

Perhaps the next child will bring a better destiny or constitution.

As for the conditions for the next level of advancement, he already had two plans in mind.

Firstly, it depends on whether the blessings bestowed by this "ancestral hall" can help oneself and one's family embark on the path to immortality.

Secondly, there is the spiritual root test that the imperial court will arrange next spring.

As long as He Miao passes the test and is accepted as a disciple by a cultivation sect, he will likely be able to break through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining in just a few years.

At that time, it shouldn't be too difficult to ask her to help me and the stone embark on the path of cultivation.

And those thousand acres of fertile land...

Jiang Fu'an had heard that most of the imperial courts in this world were supported by immortal sects and were specifically there to manage mortals.

Only when the people live and work in peace and contentment can a stable supply of seedlings be sent to the immortal sects.

It is said that the immortal sects would reward the imperial court with some cultivation resources based on the number of immortal seedlings selected each year.

To incentivize the people, the imperial court would award a generous sum of gold and silver to anyone whose family member was selected by a sect.

That money would be more than enough to buy a thousand acres of fertile land.

When Jiang Fu'an finally snapped out of his daze, he realized that Su Wanqing in his arms was already fast asleep.

He gently moved aside, put on his clothes, and got out of bed, intending to go to the main room to take a look.

Now that the ancestral hall and the main hall have been linked, perhaps good fortune has already arrived.

Night had fallen, and all around was pitch black.

Fortunately, he could walk around his own house with his eyes closed.

But before he even reached the entrance of the main room, Jiang Fu'an froze.

Through the crack in the door, he saw a faint green light shining through.

Could it be a stroke of good fortune?

His heart skipped a beat, and he quickened his pace.

Pushing open the door and entering the room, one could see a ball of green light hanging next to Wang Lanhua's memorial tablet, casting a sinister glow over the entire room, creating a rather eerie atmosphere.

But Jiang Fu'an felt a sense of familiarity—

The shape of this ball of light was very similar to the reward orb he received when playing games in his previous life.

Without hesitation, he stepped forward and grabbed the ball of light in his hand.

The moment he touched it, the ball of light transformed into a streak of firefly, entered his palm, and disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, a massive amount of information rushed into my mind.

After about ten breaths, Jiang Fu'an slowly opened his eyes, his face showing a mixture of surprise and joy.

First, he gained a clearer understanding of "good fortune":

It doesn't directly give away items, but rather provides information; you have to find the opportunity yourself.

Fu Yuan appears in the form of a ball of light, which no one else can see or touch except him.

In addition, the light orbs are also divided into grades, which are white, green, blue, purple, orange and red, from low to high color.

What he received this time was a green blessing.

It records the specific location of a Foundation Establishment cultivator's cave dwelling.

The cultivator had passed away in the cave over a hundred years ago, and the protective array was nearly ruined due to years of neglect.

If one could obtain the relics within, it would undoubtedly be an astonishing fortune.

The problem is that the cave is located in the Misty Mountain Range.

This mountain range stretches across the north of the village, boundless and teeming with monsters, making it a forbidden land for mortals.

Jiang Fu'an usually only dared to hunt in the woods on the outskirts of the mountains, and never actually stepped into the mountain area.

Fortunately, fortune doesn't present a fatal situation; otherwise, it wouldn't be an opportunity, but a deadly hook.

The location of this cave is actually on the very edge of the Misty Mountain Range, only about ten miles away from his usual hunting area.

Fuyuan also provided the best time to enter:

Choose a night when the temperature is extremely low, and act between midnight and dawn.

That is, from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m.

As a hunter who has spent many years roaming the mountains and forests, Jiang Fu'an knows very well that wild animals are least active during this time of year.

Most predators hunt for food in the first half of the night and return to their dens to rest in the second half.

Temperature also affects the activity of wild animals; the lower the temperature, the fewer wild animals will be seen.

While I can't say I can completely avoid the danger, the fact that Fortune indicates I can enter means the risks are still within a controllable range.

He stood in the main room and thought quietly for a moment.

Finally, I decided to give it a try.

The coldest time of the year is roughly twenty days after the winter solstice.

He has more than a month to prepare.
