Family Cultivation: Many Children, Many Blessings

Chapter 79: Finally Establishing the Foundation (5,000-word chapter!)
Three months later.

On a sunny afternoon, the gentle breeze rustled the bamboo leaves on Lingzhu Peak. In the spiritual spring on Qingjian Peak, a group of spiritual fish swam slowly around, wagging their tails.

In the sky, a red-feathered bird, which was growing larger and larger, flew past quickly with two children of seven or eight years old on its back, leaving behind laughter and joy.

Among the Lin family members living in the clan land, some choose to take a short rest and take a nap; others choose to work hard and practice meditation.

Suddenly, all the people and the spiritual birds looked at the sky in surprise.

On the main peak of the Lin family, a huge spiritual energy funnel was formed, and the surrounding spiritual energy became noticeably more agitated!

"Ah! Is that elder building his foundation?"

"Is it Master Chen Gui or Uncle Chang Yue?"

Ordinary members of the Lin family speculated, as they didn't know who was building the foundation.

All we know is that the most likely people in the Lin family at the moment are Lin Changyue and Chen Ping.

But no matter who is building the foundation, many members of the Lin family are silently wishing in their hearts, hoping that everything will go well and that the Lin family will have another foundation-building person.

On Lingzhu Peak, Lin Changyue's dozen wives and older and more sensible children looked at the spiritual energy funnel gathered above the main peak. In addition to their blessings, they couldn't help but feel nervous.

A week ago, Lin Changyue went to the place with the richest spiritual veins on the main peak to start his retreat.

After waiting for a long time and adjusting my condition to the best, I suddenly felt a blessing from my heart and officially began to break through.

There are three major stages in foundation building.

They are the physical body level, the magic power level, and the spiritual consciousness level.

In the eyes of many people, the first level of physical transformation is the easiest level for Lin Changyue to pass.

Because Lin Changyue is only 46 years old, he is not old and is still more than ten years away from the upper limit of 60 years old. He has never been seriously injured before, and there is no hidden disease in his body. His qi and blood are full.

When Lin Changgeng was building his foundation, it took him two and a half days to pass the first level.

The Lin family's top brass expected Lin Changyue to pass the first level in about three days. After all, Lin Changgeng had established his foundation more than ten years earlier than Lin Changyue, and his Qi and blood were more vigorous.

But what everyone didn't expect was that Lin Changyue successfully passed the physical barrier in just one day.

Watching the spiritual energy funnel above the main peak begin to expand, the spiritual energy of the spiritual vein was sucked more and more, like the sea water pouring back and pouring down madly, everyone in the Lin family was surprised and happy.

"How did he pass the physical barrier so quickly? Is Chang Yue's physical body really that strong?"

Outside the main peak, the group of law enforcers, represented by Lin Changgeng, were greatly surprised.

Even Chen Ping was a little slow to react.

He is the person in the Lin family who knows Lin Changyue best and knows the most.

"Isn't Brother Changyue's soul powerful? How did he pass the first stage of foundation building so quickly? He's three years older than me! Could it be that... the technique he practices has similar effects to my 'Eternal Green Technique' and can prolong life?"

Chen Ping asked Uncle Li in his heart.

"This kid named Lin Changyue has more and more secrets! I'm even a little interested in him!"

Uncle Li's voice rang out.

"However, not everyone can practice a technique like the Eternal Green Art. This kid passed the first level of the physical body test so quickly, so he might have achieved success in physical training!"

According to the generally accepted rules in the world of immortal cultivation, if one is over sixty years old, the probability of successfully building a foundation will drop sharply.

But this is only true for the vast majority of monks, who account for 99% of the total number.

However, there is a small group of people who, because of their special skills, have a long lifespan. During the Qi Refining Stage, their lifespan can reach 150 years or even 180 years.

In this way, even when they are in their seventies or eighties, their physical condition and qi and blood are still at their peak and have not declined.

Naturally, even if you are over sixty years old, you can still build a foundation.

However, this kind of skill that can increase the lifespan of cultivators is not only difficult to find, but its biggest disadvantage is that the speed of practice in the early stages will be very slow!

It’s more than twice as slow as other exercises!

In this way, the lifespan gained is more than what is wasted.

Except for the truly extraordinary geniuses, or those who have had a lucky encounter like Chen Ping, even if they have the opportunity to practice this kind of martial arts, they will choose to give up.

"Successful in physical training? That's even harder!"

Chen Ping was deeply moved.

Physical training is a hard job. Not only does it require a large amount of rare and precious medicinal materials, but it also requires going through all kinds of hardships and pains, and requires great perseverance.

Why has physical cultivation not been the mainstream in the world of immortal cultivation since ancient times?
This is the reason!

Chen Ping could already imagine that Lin Changyue's ability to get to where he is today with his ninth-grade spiritual roots was definitely not just a matter of luck!
In places he couldn't see, Lin Changyue must have put in ten times more effort and sweat!
Suddenly, Chen Ping turned around and walked towards his own training room.

"Don't you see Lin Changyue's breakthrough?" Uncle Li asked with a smile.

Chen Ping shook his head: "I won't watch it anymore. This guy's body is so strong, he passed it easily. I believe that even if it is the second level of mana, he has a trump card and extraordinary qualities, so he will definitely pass it. As for the third level, the soul, his soul is comparable to the middle stage of foundation building, is it still a problem for him? This foundation building, he has succeeded!"

After that, he said in a deep voice, "Uncle Li, please increase the amount of training I need from now on. I need to work harder!"

Uncle Li smiled and said, "Boy Chen, you don't have to be discouraged. The Eternal Green Art you're practicing is notoriously slow to develop in the early stages. If you were practicing other techniques, you would have established your foundation ten years ago! Moreover, a temporary lag is nothing. Once you establish your foundation, your cultivation speed will not be slower than others! When you reach the Core Formation Stage, there will be only a handful of other geniuses in the entire Yu Kingdom's immortal cultivation world who can rival you!"

"As for Lin Changyue, it will be even more impossible for him to catch up with you in the future."

Chen Ping insisted: "Having said that, I feel that my potential has not been fully tapped. I need to work harder."

"It's great that you have this intention. Then... add another 20%!" Uncle Li said in a teachable tone.

……

A hundred miles away from the Lin family's land, in a mountain forest.

Qin Li, wearing a simple long dress and with long silver hair draped over her shoulders, was sitting cross-legged, watching the changes in the spiritual energy funnel above the Lin family's land in front of her. A smile appeared on her serious face.

She had been staying in the forest outside Linjiafang City for several months.

She didn't know the exact time when Lin Changyue established his foundation, so she could only ask once a long time ago. Then she simply didn't leave, but stayed secretly and silently protected Lin Changyue.

Having experienced her own Dan Jin being destroyed, Qin Li didn't want any more accidents to happen to Lin Changyue while he was building his foundation.

She stays here, and if anyone wants to cause trouble, they have to get past her first.

As for why she didn't go inside the Lin family and directly protect Lin Changyue openly, it was because she didn't want to cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

She promised Lin Changyue that she would help him keep the secret, so their relationship could not appear too close, otherwise she was afraid that someone would connect Lin Changyue with the person who saved her at that time.

Moreover, although she is simple, she will judge others by her own standards.

Although she and the Lin family had a two-year cooperative relationship, the relationship between the two sides was not very good.

If she rashly proposed to enter the Lin family to protect Lin Changyue, the Lin family members might doubt her motives.

Therefore, it is better to just stay outside the Lin family's territory and guard it quietly. It doesn't make any difference anyway.

As for the fact that there was no spiritual vein for cultivation outside the Lin family's territory, Qin Li didn't care.

Even though her current condition actually requires her to live in an environment with abundant spiritual energy every day more than ordinary cultivators in order to have a hope of slowly recovering her cultivation, she doesn't care.

"Fellow Daoist Lin passed the first level so smoothly, even faster than I did back then."

"Now, let's look at the Dharma Power Level! This is the most important level for Fellow Daoist Lin."

"After passing this level, the third level will not be difficult."

Qin Li thought to himself.

She didn't notice that she was already sincerely happy for Lin Changyue's successful foundation building.

……

"This level is too short, why can't it be longer?"

While the outside world was surprised and happy that Lin Changyue had quickly passed the first level of foundation building, Lin Changyue and others had completely different ideas and wished that time would be extended a little longer.

For many cultivators who have reached the perfection of Qi training, the physical body barrier is quite difficult. If they lack Qi and blood, they can easily suffer backlash during the breakthrough process, endangering their lives.

But for Lin Changyue, who possesses a physique comparable to that of a second-stage early-stage demon beast, this level of transformation is not torture, and the pain is completely within the tolerable range!

On the contrary, he could clearly sense that his body was becoming stronger at a speed visible to the naked eye under the cleansing of the power of heaven and earth.

If this first level of the physical body test can last for three days, perhaps his body refining technique can directly break through to the fifth level and reach a level comparable to a second-order mid-stage monster!

"However, the second level, mana level, is much more difficult for me..."

Lin Changyue felt a large amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth rushing into his body even more crazily, penetrating into his meridians, and finally pouring into his dantian.

Because his spiritual roots were still only at the fifth level, he had barely completed an hour of the second stage when he began to feel a slight discomfort under the onslaught of this violent spiritual energy.

The meridians and dantian began to ache.

The conversion of spiritual energy into mana is not timely enough.

After half a day, the pain intensified, but it was still bearable. After two days, the mana in Lin Changyue's body had been compressed to the extreme, and it was faintly mist-like.

This means that most of the second level of mana has been completed.

But at this time, Lin Changyue felt that he was almost reaching his limit.

If this continues, the meridians and dantian will probably be damaged, and then all the previous efforts will be wasted and the foundation will fail.

Lin Changyue opened the pill box that had been prepared beside him without hesitation and swallowed the foundation-building pill inside in one gulp.

hum!
The foundation-building pill melted in the mouth, and the rich medicinal power turned into a powerful warm current that quickly spread throughout the limbs and bones.

In an instant, Lin Changyue's discomfort dissipated for the most part. After the violent spiritual energy of heaven and earth rushed in, it became much milder under the suppression of the powerful power of the elixir and became easier to transform.

At the same time, part of the power of the elixir stabilized Lin Changyue's meridians and dantian.

"Comfortable."

Lin Changyue let out a long sigh.

The Foundation Establishment Pill is indeed indispensable for cultivators who do not have sufficient spiritual roots!

After taking the foundation-building pill, he will no longer have any problems with the second level of mana and will be able to pass it smoothly.

"Those with the best high-grade spiritual roots, or even those with earth-grade spiritual roots, may not need the Foundation Establishment Pill when striving for the Foundation Establishment Stage, and can succeed on their own."

Lin Changyue thought to himself.

But he didn't pursue that.

There is no difference between relying on one's own talent to complete foundation building and taking foundation building pills to complete foundation building. There is no distinction between high and low.

Taking the foundation-building pill will not affect your potential after building the foundation.

This is also the reason why Lin Changyue did not wait any longer, but waited until he had more children and his spiritual roots became better before building his foundation.

The Mana Level was successfully completed after four days.

The magic power in his dantian was compressed to the extreme at this moment and turned into a thick fog.

……

"The last level."

Lin Changyue showed a calm smile on his face.

Generally, when a monk reaches the last level, he will act as if he is facing a formidable enemy and will be more serious than ever before.

Because the last level is the most dangerous and the easiest to fail.

But for Lin Changyue, it is the simplest and the one he is 100% sure of!
The two-colored glazed tower in the Purple Palace's sea of ​​consciousness is his greatest reliance.

According to the introduction in the Seven-Colored Glazed Soul Refining Manual, the two-color glazed tower is only comparable to the soul of a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building.

Perhaps it was because this complete version of the technique was too powerful. Judging from the actual combat situation, Lin Changyue's spiritual strength was comparable to that of a fake elixir cultivator!

It is like playing to use the soul of a fake Dan cultivator to undergo the transformation of spiritual consciousness during the foundation-building stage.

as predicted.

In this last stage, only half a day had passed when the phenomena of heaven and earth suddenly changed. The spiritual energy funnel in the sky began to change again. The second-order spiritual veins were frantically drawing out spiritual energy, forming a "spiritual pressure"!
Under this spiritual pressure, the mist magic power in Lin Changyue's dantian began its final transformation under the control of Lin Changyue's spiritual consciousness.

What is the biggest difference between Qi Refining cultivators and Foundation Building cultivators?
Mana!

The magic power in the Dantian of a Qi-refining cultivator is in gaseous form.

No matter whether it is the late stage of Qi Refining or the perfect stage of Qi Refining, no matter how condensed the magic power is, it is all in gaseous form.

Once the foundation is successfully established, the magic power will transform into liquid.

It goes without saying how big the gap is between liquid mana and gaseous mana.

Therefore, the identities and status of foundation-building cultivators and Qi-refining cultivators are very different.

If a foundation-building cultivator of a foundation-building family dies and there is no successor, even if there are many cultivators in the late Qi-refining stage, it will be difficult to support the family.

now.

Above Lin Changyue's dantian, the extremely dense mist magic power began to transform into drops of liquid magic power and slowly fell down.

……

hum~~
outside world.

The spiritual energy funnel above the main peak expanded to a size of a hundred feet before finally dissipating. A colorful cloud of light covered the sky, like sunshine after dark clouds. The entire Lin family's territory was shrouded in auspicious clouds.

Feeling the foundation-building spiritual pressure transmitted from the main peak, many people, whether they were high-ranking members of the clan or ordinary members, danced with joy with excitement.

Lin Changyue, the Lin family's rare talent in the art of talismans, actually succeeded in building his foundation with the qualifications of a ninth-grade spiritual root!

Although everyone was wishing Lin Changyue well before the foundation was established, many people were still pessimistic about it deep down in their hearts.

The main reason is that the ninth-grade spiritual root foundation is too rare.

In the entire Yu Kingdom's world of immortal cultivation, over the past few hundred years, the number of cases of people truly building their foundation with ninth-grade spiritual roots can probably be counted on one hand!

Including some senior members of the Lin family, no one dared to really hope that Lin Changyue could successfully build his foundation.

He thought that at least with the protection of the Foundation Establishment Pill, even if Lin Changyue failed in his foundation building, he would not be seriously injured.

Who would have thought that Lin Changyue would succeed in building his foundation under such unfavorable circumstances, and it would be smoother than ever before.

All in all, from the official start to the end of the third stage, it only took six days!
It took almost half the time that Lin Changgeng took to build his foundation!
"The Lin family has once again achieved two foundation-building achievements!"

Many elderly people were moved to tears when they saw this scene.

Lin Changgeng was also very excited.

He thought of his ancestor Lin Xianchu, who passed away to save him. He believed that if the ancestor knew about the Lin family's prosperity, he would definitely be very pleased, right?

On Lingzhu Peak.

Many of Lin Changyue's thirteen wives hugged each other and cried with joy.

"My husband has successfully established his foundation!"

"My husband did it!"

"From now on, we will be the wives of the Foundation Establishment cultivators!"

The older and more sensible children knew what a foundation-building cultivator represented and were genuinely happy for their father. The younger ones who didn't understand also jumped and laughed happily.

Only Su Yuejiao stood there in a daze, and it took her a while to come back to her senses.

When Lin Changyue returned from Liaoyuan Immortal City and brought back the news of the 'successor of Fenglei Zhenren', her plan to open the treasure left by her master was thwarted and postponed indefinitely.

Lin Changyue comforted her and said that he would make plans for this matter after he established his foundation.

Su Yuejiao had initially assumed Lin Changyue was just boasting, her master's treasure destined to remain sealed for many years. She didn't know if she'd ever have the chance to unlock it, let alone before she turned sixty. She could only pin her hopes on her son, Lin Qingyao.

Only four years had passed, and Lin Changyue had successfully established his foundation!
"My husband... can he really take me to open Master's treasure?"

Su Yuejiao came back to her senses, but still felt it was a little unreal.

……

Outside the Lin family's territory.

Qin Li looked at the brilliant rays of light hanging from the distant sky, a happy smile on his face.

Her eyes were shining brightly, as if all the gloom of the past few years had left her. She, who had always been a little sad, became cheerful.

It seemed like she had returned to the carefree days before she formed the elixir.

"Well, we can go back to the market now."

Qin Li stood up slowly, took one last look in the direction of the Lin family's main peak, and then turned into a beam of light and left.

There was no need to go over and congratulate Lin Changyue. It was enough to see that he had successfully built his foundation without being damaged.

……

The main peak of the Lin family.

"Thank you for troubling Chang Geng, the clan leader, and the other elders. You no longer need to continue protecting the Dharma, you can go about your business. I still need to thoroughly consolidate my initial foundation-building stage."

Lin Changyue used his spiritual sense to transmit the message.

It’s not like when Lin Changgeng was building his foundation and was attacked by powerful enemies.

I had to go into battle just after completing three levels.

Lin Changyue was not disturbed by anyone, so he could naturally convert all the mist magic power in his dantian into liquid magic power in one go, completely consolidate his initial stage of foundation building, and then come out of seclusion.
