Family Cultivation: My Ancestral Home Gets Infinite Upgrades

Chapter 77 Xiangqian's Cultivation (Seventeenth Update)

Not long after Shi Tou and Wang Zhaoyun returned to the Wang family, it was Jiang Xiangqian's seventh birthday.

Everyone in the Jiang family, except for Jiang Fu'an, was looking forward to this day.

This is because a child's spiritual root is only fully developed and detectable when they are seven years old.

Su Wanqing had poured countless efforts into this child, and naturally hoped that her son would embark on the path of cultivation and become a cultivator in the future.

Miao Ruolan was also full of anticipation. In her mind, if Jiang Xiangqian could detect her spiritual root...

Then her son's chances of developing spiritual roots in the future will definitely be much greater.

That night, the candlelight flickered gently in the hall, casting the family's shadows on the wall.

Although Jiang Fu'an already knew about his second son's condition, under the intense gaze of everyone, he still solemnly placed his fingers on his son's delicate wrist and pretended to examine it.

Detecting one's spiritual root is not difficult; as long as one has cultivation, one can find out by drawing a trace of spiritual energy into the body.

A moment later, under Su Wanqing's tense gaze, Jiang Fu'an suddenly threw his head back and burst into laughter.

Su Wanqing's heart skipped a beat, her voice trembling slightly: "Husband, has your spiritual root been detected?"

Jiang Fu'an didn't keep him in suspense and immediately nodded: "That's right, it does have spiritual roots, and they are spiritual roots with the three attributes of metal, wood, and fire."

Although he did not intend to reveal the specifics of Jiang Xiangqian's spiritual root to outsiders, he always had to make things clear to his own family.

Besides, living under the same roof every day, even if you wanted to hide it, you might not be able to.

Su Wanqing opened her mouth slightly, but couldn't say anything for a moment.

This result was completely unexpected for her.

In her original assumption, having five or four spiritual roots would already be very good.

Three spiritual roots—she had never even dared to dream of it.

Miao Ruolan, standing to the side, was overjoyed. She strode forward and grabbed Jiang Fu'an's arm, exclaiming, "Husband! You truly are a person blessed with great fortune!"

Jiang Xiangqian looked up, his little face upturned, though he didn't quite understand what "three spiritual roots" really meant.

Seeing that her mother and stepmother were so happy, she knew it must be something wonderful, and a smile involuntarily spread across her face.

"Keep your voice down!"

Jiang Fu'an quickly stopped Miao Ruolan's cheers: "You can't say that around here. If someone with ill intentions targets us, we'll be in big trouble."

This reminder made Miao Ruolan suddenly recall some rumors from her memory, and she quickly covered her mouth: "Yes, yes, I almost forgot."

"If someone has too much luck, they might be captured by powerful families and used for breeding."

Even so, her excitement hadn't subsided, and she lowered her voice to ask, "So, should we send Xiangqian to the sect, or should we use the Wang family's spiritual veins to nurture him?"

Upon hearing this, Su Wanqing's expression immediately changed.

She looked at Jiang Fu'an, her eyes filled with worry: "Husband, isn't it a bit too early to send Xiangqian to the sect now?"

"It's too small."

Jiang Fu'an nodded in agreement, then stated his plan: "Besides, I'm not comfortable letting him go to the sect to cultivate alone. How about we keep him at home and train him ourselves?"

To be fair, for Jiang Xiangqian personally, entering a major sect to cultivate would undoubtedly offer a higher potential for the future, making it a better choice.

But for Jiang Fu'an and the entire Jiang family, this may not be a good thing.

A cultivator who achieves success in their cultivation will not necessarily devote themselves to repaying their family.

The higher one's cultivation level and the more steadfast one's Dao heart, the weaker one's feelings for one's family tend to be.

In the long years of cultivating immortality, the short seven years spent in the family are really nothing.

Even if most people achieve success in their spiritual practice, their help to their families is often limited.

Once they feel that the rewards they have given are enough to repay the debt of raising them, and that they have no regrets, they will gradually distance themselves from their family.

Wang Zhaoyi of the Wang family is a living example.

After she achieved Foundation Establishment, she did indeed provide some assistance to her family:

He gifted Wang Zhiyue a Spirit Gathering Pill to help him break through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining;

They also provided considerable support when the Wang family was vying for the spiritual vein.

But after that, she stopped paying much attention to the Wang family.

Ma Ping is her biological father. He's been stuck at the peak of the early stage of Qi Refining for so many years, and she hasn't given him a single Spirit Gathering Pill.

If she had paid more attention to the family when the beast tide came, the Wang family wouldn't have suffered such heavy losses.

Jiang Fu'an sent He Miao to the sect without hesitation because his family had nothing at the time, and if he didn't send her there, He Miao wouldn't be able to cultivate at all;

Secondly, it is because of the "gratitude" destiny inherent in the rice seedlings.

Influenced by this destiny, He Miao is destined to be a person who values ​​loyalty and cares about family.

Su Wanqing hesitated for a moment, then asked softly, "Should we keep him at home and train him ourselves? But our family doesn't have any spiritual veins, how can we train him?"

"It's not available now, but it might be in a few years."

Jiang Fu'an smiled mysteriously and asked in return, "Haven't you noticed any changes in the spiritual spring by the fishpond over the past two years?"

"I know!"

Miao Ruolan quickly answered, "The spiritual energy emanating from the mouth of the spiritual spring has become increasingly concentrated over the years."

At this point, she suddenly stopped, as if she had thought of something, and covered her mouth in surprise: "Could this be a sign that a spiritual vein is about to appear?"

Now that the signs are so obvious, there's no need to hide it from the family any longer.

Jiang Fu'an nodded: "That's right. He Miao and I have thought about it, and it's very likely a sign that the spiritual vein is about to take shape."

"The concentration of spiritual energy by the spiritual spring is now almost as high as that of a first-order spiritual vein."

"Xiangqian's cultivation there won't be much worse than if he were in the sect."

Upon hearing this, both Su Wanqing and Miao Ruolan showed expressions of shock.

The place where they live is about to develop spiritual veins?

This is something that countless independent cultivators dream of possessing!

Taking the opportunity, Jiang Fu'an solemnly instructed: "This news must be kept secret and must not be told to anyone."

"Otherwise, it will bring disaster upon our family."

The two men's expressions tightened, and they immediately realized the seriousness of the matter. They nodded in unison, "Don't worry, husband, we will not reveal a single word to anyone."

After the matter was settled, Jiang Fu'an took his second son Jiang Xiangqian's little hand and said, "Come on, Dad will take you to the Spirit Spring and pass on the cultivation technique to you."

"Once you've learned it, you'll become a cultivator."

He has currently tied the foundation of his "ancestral home" to the room closest to the spiritual spring.

In this way, the rich spiritual energy inside the room can be entirely attributed to the spiritual spring outside.

Anyway, he's the only cultivator in the family right now, so no one else can see the subtle difference.

Inside the room, Jiang Fu'an had his son sit cross-legged.

He then recited the Qi-guiding formula of the Changchun Gong one by one and explained the key points in detail.

No one knew that this seemingly ordinary night would become the starting point for the Jiang family's journey to a different future.
