Family Cultivation: My Ancestral Home Gets Infinite Upgrades

Body Refining Techniques?

Jiang Fu'an's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly took the booklet from his eldest daughter.

The booklet was thin, with a plain bluish-gray cover on which three characters, "墨" (mo), were written neatly.

Body Tempering Technique.

Having the "devouring body," he had long wanted to cultivate a body-refining technique as well.

Unfortunately, the cultivation method is hard to find, and I have not been able to achieve my goal.

Unexpectedly, his daughter had prepared it for him without saying a word.

As I was watching, He Miao explained softly:

"Father, this Body Tempering Technique is widely circulated in the cultivation world and can be considered a universal body tempering method."

"It doesn't record any earth-shattering supernatural powers or secret techniques. The advantage is that the cultivation threshold is not high and there are no harsh requirements."

"The cultivation technique is divided into three levels. If you master it, your physical strength will be comparable to that of a late-stage first-tier demon beast."

"He Miao, you're so thoughtful."

Jiang Fu'an felt a deep sense of comfort.

This child always silently thinks about home.

He was pleased, but his expression turned slightly serious as he gave some instructions:

"However, in the future, you must be more careful when buying anything. Don't flaunt your wealth, and don't let anyone target you."

"I know, Father, don't worry."

He Miao nodded earnestly, then asked curiously:

"By the way, Dad, what was the third solution you mentioned earlier?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Fu'an's lips curled up slightly, but he did not reply immediately.

He calmly took out a talisman, a talisman pen, and a box of cinnabar from his storage ring.

Then, he took a deep breath, picked up his brush, dipped it in sand, and began to draw with great concentration.

At first, He Miao was a little confused, but as her father wrote with great skill and complex patterns gradually appeared on the talisman paper, she suddenly understood.

Her almond-shaped eyes widened instantly, she held her breath, and her gaze followed the movement of the pen tip.

Jiang Fu'an was drawing a "poisonous mist talisman" at this moment.

He had already mastered the five types of talismans recorded in the book "The Five Essential Talisman Drawing Methods for the Qi Refining Stage," and now his success rate was steadily over 90%.

He wrote with ease and composure, the lines flowing smoothly and gracefully, with a spiritual light flowing from the tip of his brush, gradually gathering on the talisman paper.

In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, with a flick of the brush, a talisman imbued with spiritual light quietly lay on the table.

Beside her, He Miao's mouth unconsciously opened slightly, her tone full of surprise:

"Father, you haven't already become a low-grade first-tier talisman master, have you?"

To be honest, when she bought that talisman manual, she had a bit of hope that her father might be able to learn it.

But she never expected it to happen so quickly!

Moreover, judging from his skillful technique and effortless demeanor, he clearly seems to have been immersed in this art for some time.

"A low-grade first-tier talisman master?"

Jiang Fu'an put down his pen, a look of doubt on his face:

"How is this classification system established?"

Without hesitation, He Miao replied that these were basic common sense in the cultivation world:

"Being able to skillfully draw five different first-tier low-grade talismans, with a success rate of over 60% for each, qualifies one as a first-tier low-grade talisman master."

Jiang Fu'an nodded, making no attempt to hide anything:

"The Great Strength Talisman, the Quicksand Talisman, the Fireball Talisman, the Lightness Talisman, and the Poison Mist Talisman I just drew—father's success rate with these five is indeed over 60%."

"According to your logic, I'd probably be considered a low-grade first-tier talisman master."

He Miao jumped up from the stool, rushed to Jiang Fu'an's side, grabbed his arm, and her voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement:

"Father! You're a genius in the art of talismans! Many of our fellow disciples also learn to draw talismans, but none of them are as fast as you!"

"Keep your voice down, the walls are listening."

Jiang Fu'an reminded him, appearing quite calm.

Actually, he wasn't particularly excited about the title of "low-grade first-tier talisman master".

Perhaps it's because all of this seemed to come too easily.

He had no idea how difficult it was for others to learn to draw talismans;

For him, figuring out a new talisman felt about as difficult as carving a little figure.

If you study each rune carefully for a day or two, you can grasp its essence.

After drawing a dozen or twenty more, you'll become more skilled.

He Miao suppressed her excitement, her voice lowering slightly:

"Father, so the third method you mentioned is to draw more talismans for self-defense and to fight enemies?"

"good."

Jiang Fu'an nodded and carefully put away the talisman brush and cinnabar on the table:

"He Miao, I'd like to ask you two things. First, when it's convenient, could you please buy me a few more books related to talismans?"

"Secondly, I want to buy a few sets of tools for making talismans from spirit wood."

"In our Ping'an Town, semi-spirit beasts are extremely rare. Relying on spirit beast hides to make talisman paper is simply not enough to meet my consumption of drawing talismans."

"From now on, I plan to mainly use spirit wood to make paper."

"As for spirit wood, you can buy it from the Wang family. The sparrow forest they occupy is rich in various kinds of spirit wood."

He Miao listened attentively, her eyes darting around, and then added:

"Then let my daughter add a fourth method! I will intensify my cultivation afterward and strive to break through to the late stage of Qi Refining before that spiritual vein is born."

"When that time comes, I will ride my flying magical artifact and travel from the Wonderful Sound Sect back home in just one day!"

"If anything unexpected happens, I can get back in time to help."

Seeing her full of energy, Jiang Fu'an's smile became even more gratified.

A surge of pride rose within him, and he confidently declared:

"The newly formed spiritual veins are only at the first-grade low level, and those that are worth considering are not very powerful."

"As long as our family is united, we will definitely be able to hold on!"

The seedlings nodded emphatically, clearly thinking the same thing.

She stood up, her tone somewhat impatient:

"Father, I'll head back to the sect now!"

"I need to quickly learn how to set up that array, then we can go home together to buy Qinglu Mountain!"

Be careful on the road.

Jiang Fu'an then got up and escorted his daughter to the door of the inn.

He didn't close the door until he watched his daughter's figure disappear around the corner of the stairs.

The room fell silent, and his gaze settled on the table.

There were also the Body Tempering Manual and five porcelain bottles that his daughter had brought.

There are no spiritual veins beneath the inn, and the spiritual energy in the rooms is much thinner than in the talisman room at home.

Therefore, he was not in a hurry to take the Qi-nourishing pills from the porcelain bottle to cultivate.

He picked up the porcelain bottle, uncorked it, looked at it, and counted the contents.

There were five bottles in total, each containing thirty round pills that emitted a faint medicinal fragrance.

A rough calculation shows that these pills are quite valuable, worth at least a hundred spirit stones.

"This child... doesn't he think more about himself?"

Jiang Fu'an shook his head and put the porcelain bottle into his storage ring.

Then he sat down and opened the book "Body Tempering Technique".

As the booklet slowly unfolds, clearly written instructions and simple diagrams depicting the circulation of Qi and blood, and the practice of postures come into view.

Jiang Fu'an read very slowly and very carefully.

He knew in his heart that his spiritual root aptitude was extremely poor, and his cultivation speed was destined to be slow.

Moreover, cultivators in the Qi Refining stage have weak souls and cannot continuously absorb spiritual energy day and night; excessive cultivation will only deplete their spirit.

Therefore, it is especially important to learn a few self-defense techniques in your spare time from cultivation.

Talismans are one such category.

This body-refining technique was another one he had chosen.
