Family Cultivation: My Ancestral Home Gets Infinite Upgrades

Chapter 79 The Five Elements Body (Nineteenth Update)

Based on the timeline, Wang Zhaoyun conceived her child in the Jiang family mansion and should have enjoyed the benefits of the "bedroom".

Therefore, Jiang Fu'an had high expectations for his first grandchild's natural gift.

Nine months after Stone returned home to deliver the news, he finally received what he had been waiting for:

Name: Jiang Hexuan

Gender: Female

Lifespan: 80

[Destiny: None]

[Spiritual Roots: Dual Spiritual Roots of Water and Fire]

Special Physique: Five Elements Body (Purple): A natural-born master of magic, able to easily master metal,

The five elements of magic are wood, water, fire, and earth. The user's internal magical power can freely switch between these five elements.

When Jiang Fu'an first saw the description of the "Five Elements Body", a hint of disappointment flashed through his mind.

This physique sounds more like a talent that only becomes powerful in the mid-to-late stages.

The power of spells cast during the Qi Refining stage is inherently limited.

The cultivator's limited magical power was insufficient to support frequent spellcasting.

It's like a peerless sword, but it's been handed to a child; it has a sharp blade, but can't display its power.

But as he thought about it, his brows gradually relaxed.

This physique—perhaps it's just what he needs to solve his current thorny problem.

He possesses five elemental spiritual roots, meaning he can theoretically cultivate any of the five elements' techniques.

Because his lifespan is much longer than that of ordinary people, he has the least need for wood-type techniques, which are slow to progress and offer little help in combat. His only advantage is extending his lifespan.

For example, his "Everlasting Spring Kung Fu" allows him to live seven years longer with each level he advances in his cultivation.

The cultivation technique for rice seedlings can only add six years to one level of lifespan.

However, in order to conceal his extraordinary lifespan, he now has no choice but to continue cultivating wood-based techniques.

This "Five Elements Body" can freely transform magical attributes.

Doesn't that mean that no matter what kind of domineering and swift techniques he secretly practiced, it didn't matter?

As long as you transform your magic power into a soft, woody aura in front of others, you can easily fool them.

Thinking of this, Jiang Fu'an's disappointment vanished instantly.

He began to plan with great interest which type of cultivation technique he should specialize in in the future.

Fire-based techniques are the fastest to learn and also offer considerable combat power, making them an excellent choice.

The water-based martial arts method emphasizes that things will fall into place naturally, which can reduce the difficulty of breaking through bottlenecks.

For someone with such a difficult-to-break-through aptitude as the Five Elemental Roots, this is like rain on parched land.

Metal-based techniques specialize in killing and are most commonly practiced by sword cultivators.

Jiang Fu'an couldn't help but imagine a sword flashing coldly, breaking through all laws, and his heart was filled with excitement. What man doesn't dream of soaring through the sky with his sword?

As for earth-based cultivation techniques, the resulting magical power is the most profound and enduring; simply put, it is more durable.

This is the most suitable practice for those who possess the "Five Elements Body" and will be pursuing the path of cultivation in the future.

As he pondered the decision, Jiang Fu'an found himself struggling to make a choice.

"If only there were a cultivation technique that could combine the strengths of all five elements, how wonderful that would be!"

He shook his head, banishing the almost fanciful idea from his mind.

He knew that daydreaming was pointless at the moment, and it would be better to wait until he actually encountered a high-level cultivation technique manual before weighing the pros and cons.

After all, those comparisons were all based on the same grade.

Even the most powerful cultivation technique, no matter how profound, cannot compare to a top-grade water-based technique.

"The most important thing now is to cultivate to the middle stage of Qi Refining as soon as possible."

With his current strength, it's nothing short of a pipe dream for him to try and acquire high-level cultivation techniques.

He decided that for now, he would continue practicing the Changchun Gong, taking it one step at a time.

Two years have passed quietly.

An unexpected event disrupted Jiang Fu'an's originally orderly cultivation life.

That day, he had just finished a cycle of energy cultivation and was slowly gathering the magical power scattered throughout his limbs and bones.

Suddenly, the ground beneath the futon trembled.

His heart skipped a beat; his first thought was, "Another earthquake?"

But after focusing intently and sensing it carefully for a moment, he realized something was amiss.

The vibrations were extremely subtle, yet carried a certain rhythm, slow and prolonged, as if some enormous creature were breathing deep within the mountain.

Jiang Fu'an's pupils contracted slightly: "This commotion—could it be a spiritual vein?"

He recalled some scattered records that when a spiritual vein is about to be formed but not yet complete, the earth will show this sign, just like the fetal movements before a baby is about to be born.

Typically, a spiritual vein will be formed within a few months after such a phenomenon occurs.

He suddenly stood up, strode out of the courtyard, and came to an open area on the mountaintop.

The mountain breeze rustled his robes, and he squinted, his gaze sweeping across the entire Qinglu Mountain.

The mountains remained tranquil, and the faint tremors did not disturb any living creatures.

Several harbingers hopped on the branches, emitting clear and melodious calls;

In the distance, the silhouettes of wild rabbits and deer can be vaguely seen flitting through the grass.

But Jiang Fu'an noticed that the forest seemed to be more vibrant than usual.

Just then, there was a rustling sound in the dense forest beside the mountain path, and Yue'er emerged lightly and quickly walked to Jiang Fu'an's side.

"Father, is this commotion a sign that a spiritual vein is about to emerge?"

Jiang Fu'an was taken aback, turned to look at his daughter, and asked in surprise, "How did you find out?"

"It was the wild boar that told me."

Yue'er pointed to the dense forest behind her and explained, "They told me that something good that can make them stronger will soon appear in the mountains."

"Not only them, but other animals seem to have sensed it too, and they're all happy."

"It seems that was the right decision."

Jiang Fu'an nodded, feeling about 70-80% confident.

But after confirming it, what welled up in my heart was not joy, but a sense of pressure.

The appearance of a spiritual vein is undoubtedly a tremendous opportunity, but it also means that endless troubles are about to come knocking.

My cultivation will require several more months of painstaking effort to reach the peak of the third level of Qi Refining;

Shi Tou is currently in seclusion, attempting to break through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining. It is unknown when he will emerge from seclusion.

The seedlings have reached the late stage of Qi Refining, but a few months later will be the time for the Miaoyin Sect's once-every-five-year sect competition.

She mentioned when she returned a few months ago that she would participate in this competition because one of the top ten prizes is a "Spirit Gathering Pill".

Although sect contributions can be used to exchange for it, the quota is limited to one, and it has already been exchanged for stones.

What He Miao longed for most was to leave the elixir she won in the competition to her father.

Jiang Fu'an was silent for a moment, then turned to look at Yue'er and suddenly asked, "Could you make our wild boars line up in a row and charge forward together on command? Like cavalry charging on the battlefield."

Upon hearing this, Yue'er blinked, slightly confused, then her eyes lit up as she understood her father's intention: "Father, do you want to train the mountain boars to help guard our Qinglu Mountain?"

Jiang Fu'an nodded: "The emergence of a spiritual vein will cause quite a stir."

"Father is worried that among the rogue cultivators who come after hearing the news, there will be many with ulterior motives."

"We're probably not up to the task on our own, so we need to prepare several backup plans."

Yue'er's face lit up with eager anticipation, and her tone was confident: "They listen to me very well, I think I can give it a try! I'll go find them in the woods right now!"

With that, she turned and jogged towards the dense forest.

The wild boars are currently foraging in the forest.

Jiang Fu'an followed, a hint of anticipation in his heart.

Each of those wild boars was as strong as an adult water buffalo, and their charge was incredibly powerful.

If properly trained, when they charge in groups, their power is no less than that of a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator.
