Cultivating Immortality Begins with Rejuvenation.

Chapter 89 Seven Years
That afternoon, Zhang Tiezhu waited outside the school and met Li Ji'an.

Compared to nine years ago, Zhang Tiezhu's skin is now much darker and he has become thinner. He is dressed like an old farmer and the magic weapon in his hand is a hoe.

When he decided to give the resources to his eldest son, it was actually because his fellow Taoists persuaded him many times that he had to face reality.

With low-grade spiritual roots and insufficient resources, and without special opportunities, the late stage of Qi training is inevitable. Instead of using limited resources on this old man with little hope and who is about to go downhill, it is better to use them on his son who is on the rise.

It must be said that after he completely gave up trying, he suddenly felt that the world was vast and he felt much more relaxed.

Afterwards, they decided to lie down and enjoy their retirement, forgetting their past ambitions, forgetting the villains who treated them as blood slaves, and forgetting everything about the Xianci Dynasty.

As a result, the clan elders had tested the youngest's potential a few years ago, and it was very likely that he could also have a mid-grade spiritual root.

However, it should be just enough to make it to the limit.

If there is no Yangyuan Pill, it might be a bit difficult.

In the end, Zhang Tiezhu gritted his teeth and borrowed spirit stones from his clan to buy the Yangyuan Pill for Yan Qing.

Naturally, his dream of living out his retirement was shattered.

In recent years, he has specialized in studying spiritual farming techniques and has gone to the clan's medicinal fields to earn work points.

He even found time to learn civil engineering magic, and occasionally went to the gathering area to undertake odd jobs in house construction.

It can be said that they work harder to earn resources for themselves than before getting married and having children.

"Like, really like, so much like Big Brother Li..." There was no more ambition and relaxation in Zhang Tiezhu's eyes. Li Ji'an only saw fatigue in his eyes.

Zhang Tiezhu knelt on one knee, wanting to touch Li Ji'an's cheek with his rough palm, but he was afraid of hurting the child's face, so he forced himself to hold back.

"Uncle Zhang, my father asked me to say hello to you." Li Ji'an said with a smile.

“…” Zhang Tiezhu was stunned.

Then he suddenly turned his head, and after five full breaths, he turned back: "Your father...Is Brother Li okay? He...he doesn't blame me?"

Nine years ago, Li Ji'an was kicked out of the family. He felt the most guilty and even thought that if he had not told the story of Li Ji'an and Yan Qingwan in the clan elders' meeting, it would not have happened.

Over the years, he had dreamed several times that Li Jian came to him and asked him why he betrayed him.

He also woke up several nights ago, beating his chest and stamping his feet, full of regret.

If he could turn back time, he would never tell it even if he was beaten to death!

"Dad is a very good person. He often talks about you old friends." Li Ji'an replied with a smile. He had never blamed Zhang Tiezhu.

"Old friend... OK, OK, OK..." Zhang Tiezhu nodded woodenly, finally letting go.

From then on, Li Ji'an lived a comfortable life in the Yan family.

In addition to daily practice, Yan Qingwan also has to refine pills and often needs to teach the two alchemists trained in the clan. Her time is relatively tight, but she still makes time to accompany Li Ji'an.

She took him to eat delicious food, told him strange stories, asked him about his past life with his father, gave him exquisite robes, and even slept with him occasionally... Except for helping him take a bath, Li Ji'an reluctantly accepted it and truly felt the breath of maternal love.

He was very grateful for this.

Happy times always pass by in a flash.

Five years passed quickly.

This year, Li Ji'an was thirteen years old and his spiritual roots had not yet fully formed, but his bones had already grown and he could start to refine his body.

"My affinity with spiritual energy is much stronger now than when I was practicing the first level of Qi in my previous life."

After returning to Yan Qingwan's house from the clan hall, Li Ji'an practiced the Qi-sensing method as usual to increase his spiritual energy level and compare it with his previous life's cultivation experience.

He became more and more satisfied with the results and looked forward to his spiritual roots that were about to take shape.

After the Qi-sensing method was completed, he concentrated his sea of consciousness again.

The soul is almost condensed into spiritual consciousness. Although it has not yet truly transformed, it can already be slightly released.

He released his spiritual consciousness slightly, just enough to cover his cheeks, so that he could see his face clearly without the need for a magic mirror.

"Being nourished by spiritual energy and not being nourished by spiritual energy are two completely different things!"

In this world, he was nourished by spiritual energy, and his appearance at the age of thirteen was somewhat different from that in the Xianci Dynasty. His facial features were more lively, his skin was fairer, and he was already more than seven feet tall.

Besides that, he was not sure whether it was due to the nourishment of spiritual energy or the marrow cleansing pills he had made in his previous life using medicinal herbs from this world. He considered that his roots in this life were better than in his previous life in the Xianci Dynasty.

"Buzz~" At this moment, the communication talisman in his arms vibrated again.

Li Ji'an was somewhat helpless. He took out three communication talismans from his pocket, all of which were bidirectional.

The one that is vibrating at this moment is the one belonging to the Great Elder.

"Come quickly, learn the essence of talismans tonight. When you have cultivated your magic power and strengthened your spiritual awareness, you can make talismans yourself."

During these five years, although he had not yet practiced and had no magical powers, Yan Kongyi still took time out every month to teach him about talismans.

Now, he has a good understanding of the basic theories of talismans, including some simple basic talismans such as cleaning talismans, dust-removing talismans, and calming talismans. Once he has magic power, he should be able to succeed in one go, and there is a high probability that he can reach the middle level.

In addition to the fact that talismans are easy to learn but difficult to master, and are easy to get started with, the key reason is that one's understanding in this life is further improved.

"Buzz~" However, before he could reply to Yan Kongyi, another communication talisman vibrated again.

"Xiao Fan, come quickly! Your Seventh Grandfather got you something good today: a first-level saber-toothed tiger. It's very fresh. Take a good rest tonight. We'll officially start the physical training tomorrow."

Yan Hongsheng started explaining the basics of body training to him two years ago, and allowed him to comprehend the body training techniques little by little.

It is worth mentioning that he actually got a body-building exercise from somewhere. Coincidentally, it was also the "Hundred Tempering Golden Body Art". It is not certain whether it was sold by Chen Zhaohu.

As usual, Li Ji'an informed both parties separately of the summons and let them fight it out.

In the end, he went to Yan Kong first, learned the essence of talismans, and got an extra spirit stone.

Finally, he went to Yan Hongsheng's place, had a big meal, and got another spirit stone.

In the following two years, Li Ji'an began to formally practice body training.

With the experience of reaching the peak of the first level of "Hundred Tempering Golden Body Art" in the previous life, as well as decades of experience in receiving and sending qi and blood, body refining in this life is a natural result.

In two years, he would reach the perfect state of blood transfusion in the previous life's Immortal Dynasty, and in three years at most, he would be able to break through to the first level of primary physical cultivation.

On this day, Li Ji'an was fifteen years old, and it was finally time to test his spirit.

Although he felt somewhat confident, he still couldn't help being nervous. After all, this concerned his path to eternal life and the difficulty of his future cultivation.

Of course, the most important thing is that with this kind of talent and meridian cultivation in this life, even if there are still eight years that cannot be changed, you should have basically reached the limit of your innate origin.

When Li Ji'an slowly walked towards the spirit-testing stone, the people around him were even more nervous than he was.

Yan Qingwan hopes that he can have at least five strands of fire spiritual roots.

Yan Kongyi hoped that the wood spiritual root could be of medium quality.

On the contrary, Yan Hongsheng was the least nervous. He had always been pessimistic about Li Ji'an's spiritual roots, and he had now decided to push Li Ji'an's body training to the late first stage. By then, he would be the number one physical practitioner in the Yan family.
