Family Cultivation: My Ancestral Home Gets Infinite Upgrades

After pondering for a while, Jiang Fu'an finally figured out the effect of the newly added building's "foundation".

Simply put, if there is no spiritual vein under the house, this "foundation" can be used as a first-grade low-level spiritual vein, which can make the spiritual energy in the room more concentrated.

If there is already a spiritual vein, it can enhance the effect of the spiritual vein by one level, making the spiritual energy even more abundant.

The grades of spiritual veins in this world correspond to the realms of cultivators.

The first, second, and third tiers correspond to the three major realms of Qi Refining, Foundation Building, and Core Formation, respectively.

Each level is further divided into three grades: lower, middle, and upper, which represent the initial, middle, and final stages of each major realm.

Take a low-grade first-level spiritual vein as an example; it's only enough for a cultivator in the early stages of Qi Refining to cultivate smoothly.

If someone at the mid-stage of Qi Refining uses it, their cultivation will be twice as effective.

The effect of this "foundation" is extremely practical for Jiang Fu'an, and it is in no way inferior to the effect of the two newly added buildings.

The most practical thing right now is to allow him to immediately enjoy the spiritual veins in his own home, which will greatly increase his cultivation speed.

And its effect of raising the grade is even more powerful.

For example, if you happen to occupy a first-grade high-quality spiritual vein in the future, it will immediately become a second-grade low-quality one after being upgraded by this!

Even cultivators in the early stages of Foundation Establishment can cultivate here.

The effect is also very subtle; it can be activated or deactivated at any time, making it difficult for outsiders to detect.

What's even better is that Jiang Fu'an can specify which room in the house can enjoy the effects of this spiritual vein.

In other words, he could have simply filled the room he was in with spiritual energy.

Even if they lived in the same courtyard, as long as no one suddenly barged into his house, no one would notice anything unusual.

With this in mind, Jiang Fu'an decided to give it a try himself.

He turned around and went back to the talisman room.

His family knows he usually draws talismans here, so they don't come in and disturb him.

He closed the door and bolted it. He concentrated his mind and connected the "foundation" of the building in his mind with the foundation of the house beneath his feet.

The next moment, Jiang Fu'an felt a warm breath seeping up from the cracks in the stone slabs beneath his feet.

Before long, the spiritual energy in the entire room became richer.

It's even better than the room I rented in Miaoyin City before.

He took a deep breath, and the abundant spiritual energy entered his lungs, making him feel lighter throughout his body.

He squinted and savored the moment, then sat down cross-legged on the spot and began to circulate the "Eternal Spring Technique," wanting to personally experience just how much faster this cultivation speed could be.

An hour later, Jiang Fu'an slowly opened his eyes, his eyes filled with astonishment:

"So this is what it feels like to cultivate on a spiritual vein!"

This speed is almost on par with when he was taking Qi-Nourishing Pills.

It should be noted that this is because he himself has five spiritual roots, which makes him less efficient at absorbing spiritual energy from the outside world than others.

If it were replaced with stones, the effect would probably be even more potent than taking Qi-nourishing pills.

The mere mention of stones made Jiang Fu'an's heart pound with unease:

Should we let him enjoy the spiritual veins as well?

Jiang Fu'an wasn't afraid that Shi Tou's cultivation level would surpass his own; the main problem was that the spiritual energy had come too suddenly, and he really didn't know how to explain it to Shi Tou.

After hesitating for a long time, Jiang Fu'an decided to put it aside for now.

He refocused his attention on the ball of light in his mind.

I just finished upgrading my ancestral home, and I haven't even finished checking its attributes yet.

"The lifespan bonus has been increased from fifty years to one hundred years..."

Jiang Fu'an silently calculated that, adding his original lifespan of sixty-seven years, he was almost catching up with the lifespan of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

I heard they only live for about two hundred years.

There is another opportunity to replicate one's destiny or special qualities.

However, he doesn't have any particular target he wants to replicate right now, so he can save this opportunity for later.

Next, he looked at the upgrade requirements for the next level of ancestral home:

The family members must include one late-stage Qi Refining expert and three mid-stage Qi Refining experts.

The task of selecting someone for the later stages of Qi Refining will naturally be left to He Miao.

As for the three mid-stage Qi Refining experts, he himself, Shi Tou, and his youngest son Jiang Xiangqian, they were enough to make up a group.

Although Xiangqian is only two years old, he can only begin cultivation when his spiritual root matures at the age of seven.

However, he has three spiritual roots, which means he has good aptitude and can cultivate very quickly, so there's not much to worry about in that regard.

The other condition—possessing a thousand acres of spiritual land—is a bit tricky.

Although Jiang Fu'an was not clear about the exact market price of spirit fields, he knew even with his toes that it was an astronomical figure.

With his current financial situation, he shouldn't even be thinking about it.

However, there's no need to rush into this condition.

Even with the aid of spiritual veins, the total amount of spiritual energy required to cultivate to the second level of Qi Refining has doubled compared to before.

Without other opportunities, it would probably take about ten years to cultivate to the middle stage of Qi Refining.

With such a long period of time, it should still be possible to slowly save money and find a way to acquire a thousand acres of spiritual land.

After all this deliberation, the answer to whether or not to immediately put the stone into use with the spiritual vein becomes clear—

No rush.

Anyway, that kid has good aptitude, so his cultivation is faster than mine.

It's not too late to let him enjoy the effects of the spiritual veins when the time is right in the future.

When Jiang Fu'an stepped out of the talisman room again, it was already dark outside.

When Jiang Fu'an pushed open the door to the talisman room again, it was already dark outside.

Candles were lit in the main room, and the two wives and children were sitting around a wooden table eating dinner.

Su Wanqing looked up and saw him come in, then reminded him:

"Go eat, I've left some in the pot for you..."

She stopped mid-sentence, staring directly at Jiang Fu'an as if she were seeing him for the first time.

"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

Jiang Fu'an touched his face and asked in surprise.

At this moment, several children and Miao Ruolan also looked over upon hearing the sound.

Yue'er's eyes lit up, and she immediately shouted:

"Dad, you look so young!"

Miao Ruolan also chimed in with surprise:

"That's right, my husband, you do look younger."

Jiang Fu'an's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately understood that this was a change brought about by the additional fifty years of lifespan.

He immediately feigned ignorance and asked in return:

"Really? Could it be the effect of the 'Eternal Spring Technique' that He Miao gave us?"

Miao Ruolan nodded and explained:

"That's possible. The Everlasting Spring Technique is a wood-attribute technique, and I've heard that practicing it for a long time can increase a cultivator's lifespan."

As she spoke, a hint of envy and disappointment flickered in her eyes.

She also yearned for immortality, but unfortunately, she lacked spiritual roots, and this path was destined to be out of her reach.

Hearing this, Su Wanqing's expression also dimmed, and she silently lowered her head, fiddling with the rice grains in her bowl.

Jiang Fu'an immediately understood what the two were worried about.

In fact, he himself has never been willing to think deeply about this point.

A couple growing old together is the epitome of romance.

But if one person grows old while the other remains young, it would probably be a torment for both of them.

"Forget it, let's live for today. I can still be with them for decades to come, why worry about these things now?"

Jiang Fu'an shook his head, shaking off the knot in his heart.

He planned to work hard tonight and have a deep conversation with both of them.
