Family Cultivation: My Ancestral Home Gets Infinite Upgrades

The next day, Jiang Fu'an slept until the sun was high in the sky before finally waking up.

When I opened my eyes, the outside was already bright and clear, with sunlight streaming through the window and casting slanted squares on the ground.

He propped himself up, feeling a slight ache in his back and waist. As he rubbed his shoulders, the door creaked open.

Miao Ruolan walked in, saw that he was awake, and a mischievous glint flashed in her eyes:

"Were you too tired last night? Is your body unable to keep up?"

"How about I cook you a bowl of pork kidneys to help you recover?"

Jiang Fu'an was speechless for a moment.

I don't know who it was last night, but they kept begging for mercy until they were so tired they couldn't even speak properly and fell asleep early.

Now that he has learned from the experience in "The Secret of Locking the Dragon" and his cultivation has broken through to the first level of Qi Refining, his body is far superior to what it used to be.

Dealing with both her and Su Wanqing at the same time is a piece of cake.

He glared at Miao Ruolan with annoyance and warned in a low voice:

"You wait... I'll settle the score with you tonight!"

Knowing that no one would do anything to her during the day, this little girl would act like a mischievous kitten, occasionally reaching out her paw to tease her.

But when night falls, she becomes like a frightened rabbit, all she can do is beg for mercy.

He's both terrible at the game and loves to play.

Jiang Fu'an shook his head, and after getting dressed, he went to check the ancestral hall as usual.

The results of this inspection did not disappoint him.

On the altar, a white sphere of light floated silently.

Jiang Fu'an was overjoyed.

Having finished the Green Spirit Fruit, and just when I was worried that my cultivation speed would slow down, this blessing came at just the right time.

He strode forward and reached out to touch the ball of light.

The moment their fingertips touched, a stream of light spread up their arm and into their minds.

A wealth of information unfolded like a scroll, and he closed his eyes, focused intently, and carefully absorbed it.

A moment later, he opened his eyes, a hint of surprise flashing in them.

It turns out that the earthquake at that time not only destroyed several mineral veins in the Misty Mountain Range.

A third-order spiritual vein that could sustain a Core Formation cultivator was also shattered.

The demonic beasts that relied on spiritual energy to cultivate in the mountains suddenly lost their nests and are now wandering around in groups, restless and uneasy.

According to the information provided by Fu Yuan, in about three months, a high-level demon beast will lead a large number of low-level demon beasts to form a beast tide and invade the outside world.

Their goal is clear: to conquer the spiritual veins guarded by human cultivators.

If they win, they will occupy the land to cultivate.

If we lose the battle, the loss of these dead monsters will solve the problem of insufficient spiritual veins in the Misty Mountain Range.

As for ordinary villages like Xu Family Village, which have no spiritual veins, they are not targets of the demonic beasts.

At most, only a few scattered semi-spirit beasts will wander over to harass them.

When the time comes, the villagers will only need to hide in the cellar and keep the doors tightly closed to get through the time safely.

The fortune teller suggests that you can take this opportunity to actively hunt down lone half-spirit beasts, with the risks being within an acceptable range.

Jiang Fu stroked his chin, his mind starting to work.

The meat of a semi-spirit beast is rich in spiritual energy; eating it can not only strengthen the body but also accelerate cultivation.

Animal hides are also an excellent material for making talismans.

Now, both he and Shi Tou have reached the first level of Qi Refining, and can mobilize spiritual energy to unleash "Wind and Thunder Blade Technique", "Soaring Cloud Step" and "Heaven and Earth Throw", making their combat power vastly different from before.

If one could also draw some "Lightness Talisman" and "Great Strength Talisman" to assist, dealing with lone half-spirit beasts should be a piece of cake.

However, having the ability to hunt does not mean there is no danger at all.

The semi-spirit beasts in the Misty Mountains are different from those kept in captivity; they are extremely ferocious.

What should we do if we are surrounded or if we accidentally attract a first-tier spirit beast that even a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator would have to fight?

He paced back and forth in the shrine, pondering for a long while, and three solutions gradually emerged in his mind:

Firstly, let Yue'er take two Fiery Eagles to patrol the area around Xu Family Village from high above, keeping a close eye on the movements of the monsters.

Secondly, learn to draw "Quicksand Talismans" as soon as possible.

Most semi-spirit beasts cannot fly, but this talisman can turn the ground into sand, trapping and imprisoning enemies, making it a powerful tool for delaying and maneuvering.

We need to prepare more before the beast tide arrives.

Thirdly, it involves using one's trump card.

He also had more than twenty first-tier mid-to-high-grade talismans he had obtained from his storage ring, which were quite powerful.

Even if it encounters a first-tier spirit beast, it has a fighting chance.

With the plan settled, Jiang Fu'an no longer hesitated and turned to walk towards the backyard.

I need to tell Shi Tou about this first, because if things really come to a head, Shi Tou will be the main force.

Before even reaching the backyard gate, one could hear the howling wind coming from inside, interspersed with faint rumbling sounds of thunder.

Jiang Fu'an tiptoed and peered through the crack in the door.

In the open space of the courtyard, Shi Tou was holding a long knife, moving nimbly, the blade flashing like a bolt of lightning.

Each slash carried a powerful force, stirring up fallen leaves that flew everywhere.

As he moved, there was a faint sense of wind and thunder following him.

This power far exceeds the limits of ordinary martial artists.

If he were to encounter those people from Zhenyue Martial Arts School again, even if ten of them attacked together, they might not be able to get close to him.

Jiang Fu watched quietly until Shi Tou sheathed his sword and exhaled, then he pushed open the door and entered the courtyard, smiling as he spoke:

"Good lad, you're getting better and better. Your father is no match for you now."

He was telling the truth.

Although both of them were "devouring bodies" and cultivated the same techniques and martial arts, Jiang Fu'an was already old and his bones and muscles had long been set.

Stone, however, had been practicing martial arts and building up his body since childhood.

In addition, Jiang Fu'an was usually busy with miscellaneous matters, unlike Shi Tou, who spent almost all his time in the training ground, so his progress was naturally incomparable.

Stone was a little embarrassed by the praise, scratched the back of his head, and gave a sheepish smile:

"Father, please don't say that. All my skills are thanks to you..."

In his heart, his father was always the highest mountain, and he never thought of climbing over it.

Jiang Fu'an asked again:

"How much mana did you use to practice a set of sword techniques?"

"About half."

The stone sensed something and answered.

Jiang Fu'an nodded, feeling fairly satisfied.

A set of sword techniques takes a quarter of an hour to complete, consuming half of one's mana, meaning that Stone can fight continuously for half an hour at full strength.

Even if it wears down faster in actual combat, it's still enough to handle a fierce battle.

He paused, looked intently into the stone's eyes, and asked seriously:

"Stone, if I asked you to go into the mountains and fight those half-spirit beasts face-to-face in the Misty Mist Mountains, would you dare?"

Before he finished speaking, Stone's eyes lit up instantly, and he took half a step forward:

"Really?! Dad, when are we going?"

Jiang Fu'an was taken aback, then burst into laughter.

I really asked a stupid question.

Stone has always been single-minded since he was a child, and he has never known how to be afraid of fighting.

He was only seven years old when he dared to fight three adult martial artists from Zhenyue Martial Arts School.

Now that my strength has greatly increased, why would I be afraid of those half-spirit beasts?

Seeing that the stone was eager to try, Jiang Fu'an immediately explained:

"Don't rush off! We still need to do some preparation. You and I need to practice our coordination and familiarize ourselves with the tactics."

"Remember, always put your life first and never do anything you are not sure you can win."
