Clan Cultivation: Starting from Foundation Establishment on Mount Luoxia

"Yes, sir!"

Li Xiaoyao's spirits lifted considerably. "This time, we can buy whatever we want!"

"Find the top-grade spiritual materials to nurture my elder brother's magical artifacts, prepare pills to aid Xiang Ping's breakthrough, and build a solid foundation for the younger members of the clan..."

"Of course, the most important thing is my fourth-grade cultivation technique!"

A few days later, the brand-new E-37 type airship, fully loaded with supplies and expectations, took to the air again.

Besides Li Xiaoyao and Li Chijing, there were eight alert and capable clansmen on the ship.

When Li Xiaoyao returned to Chuixing Post Station, he felt much more confident.

We are now a pioneering family with "Certified Territory of Immortal Sect"!

Our first stop was the Merit Hall, where we processed the permanent transfer of ownership of the flying boat.

After the receiving disciple verified the imperial edict and the purple-gold talisman, his attitude became noticeably more respectful.

"Senior Li, please wait a moment. The permanent permission transfer involves binding the flying boat's core array plate, which requires the senior brother in the hall to operate personally, and it will take a while."

The disciple offered the sacred tea.

After waiting for about half an hour, a Foundation Establishment stage manager came out in person.

He handed Li Xiaoyao a "Contract of Eternal Boat" that was neither gold nor jade and was covered with intricate runes, along with a control jade tablet that corresponded to the flying boat array.

"Fellow Daoist Li, the formalities are complete."

"This 'Eternal Boat Contract' was specially made by the Ministry of Works of the Immortal Sect and is uniquely bound to the core array plate of your family's flying boat."

"With this contract and the control jade token, this ship will forever belong to the Li family and can enjoy basic maintenance at any immortal sect's post station. Congratulations!"

The manager smiled and cupped his hands in greeting.

Li Xiaoyao accepted the two items, which felt slightly heavy in his hands. Sensing the unique connection between them and his own flying boat, he felt reassured and thanked them repeatedly.

This "huge sum" is now completely in their pocket!

Next comes the exciting part: exchanging cultivation techniques.

With that cyan token, Li Xiaoyao led Li Chijing to the "Scripture Repository" set up by the Qingxiao Immortal Sect within the Chuixing Post Station.

From the outside, this library is unremarkable.

It was just a drab, three-story building with an old-fashioned style. An old man in a gray robe stood at the entrance, his eyes closed as if he were resting, seemingly isolated from the world.

Li Xiaoyao stepped forward and respectfully handed over the token: "Senior, I have come to exchange this token for a cultivation technique."

The gray-robed old man slightly raised his eyelids, his cloudy gaze sweeping over the token, then over Li Xiaoyao and the other man, and slowly said:

"Fourth-rank token exchange... Go in. Rules: Choose one token, time limit is one hour, once chosen, it cannot be changed, and the token will be taken back."

He pointed to the seemingly ordinary wooden door.

"I understand."

Pushing open the wooden door, the scene before my eyes suddenly changed!

The interior space is much larger than you might imagine, far from being as cramped as it appears from the outside!

The dome is high and far, like a starry sky, and the four walls are made of jade bookshelves that emit a soft white light, layer upon layer, extending upwards to the horizon.

Each layer is filled with countless jade slips, silk scrolls, and strange objects, each with its own unique light, as vast as a galaxy!

The air was filled with the atmosphere of ancient books and spiritual charm, quiet and solemn.

"A spatial expansion formation?"

Li Chijing murmured, his eyes filled with undisguised shock. He had come and gone in a hurry last time and had never seen such a spectacular sight.

"A work of the Immortal Sect."

Li Xiaoyao also took a deep breath.

A deacon in a green robe appeared silently, verified their tokens, and led them to a teleportation array.

"Fellow Daoist, the fourth-grade cultivation technique is stored at the top level of the 'Mysterious Character Zone,' please."

Stepping onto the array, a flash of white light appeared, and the two found themselves in a more secluded space, where the spiritual energy was so rich it felt almost tangible.

The number of jade slips floating here has decreased sharply, but each one is filled with spiritual light and has a profound aura.

The sides of the bookshelves are labeled with categories such as "Mysterious Fire Element", "Mysterious Water Element", and "Mysterious Extraordinary Number" in cloud-script.

"Fellow Daoist, please choose as you see fit. Simply touch the restriction in front of the jade slip with your divine sense to view the introduction. Do not forcibly try to peek into the contents."

The green-robed steward gave his instructions and then disappeared.

With time running out, Li Xiaoyao headed straight for the "Anomalies," "Multiple Attributes," and "Comprehensive" areas.

With his four spiritual roots, he could not master ordinary cultivation techniques.

"The True Secret of Primordial Qi", "The Record of the Five Elements' Derivation", "The Celestial Spectrum"...

Introductions to various cultivation techniques emerged as divine sense touched them; they were incredibly profound, but also had stringent requirements.

Some require a specific physique, some require a balance of the five elements and extremely high purity of spiritual roots, and some have inconceivable cultivation conditions.

Li Xiaoyao watched anxiously. Until his divine sense landed on a deep blue jade slip, its surface seemingly displaying the subtle interplay of light and shadow from the four seasons.

Information flows through the heart:

"The Four Symbols Heavenly Will True Scripture is a fourth-grade Purple Mansion cultivation method. It imitates the rotation of the four seasons and secretly conforms to the cycle of the Heavenly Dao. It is divided into four chapters, each with its own profound mysteries, forging a corresponding immortal foundation."

"The Green Emperor's Longevity Chapter (Gengmu, Spring): It is mainly about growth and nourishment, building the foundation for immortality [the Longevity Palace], and its supernatural powers are 'spring breeze and rain' and 'the revival of all things'."

"The Flame Emperor's Burning Heaven Chapter (Yong Huo, Summer): It is mainly about burning fiercely to break through illusions and forging the foundation of immortality [Yan Du Wei]. Its supernatural powers are 'Blazing Sun' and 'Burning Mountains and Boiling Seas'."

"The White Emperor's Solemn Annihilation Chapter (Geng Metal, Autumn): Mainly sharp and solemn, forging the foundation of immortality [Solemn Annihilation Palace], with supernatural powers such as 'Golden Wind Falling Leaves' and 'Solemn Annihilation of All Things'."

"The Xuan Emperor's Return to the Source Chapter (Female Water, Winter): It governs the freezing and returning to the source, forging the foundation of immortality [Return to the Source Abyss], and possesses the supernatural powers of 'Mysterious Ice Sealing the Boundary' and 'All Rivers Returning to the Source'."

Note: Transformation is possible even within the same lineage.

Upon reading this, Li Xiaoyao's heart pounded like a drum. These four chapters clearly correspond to the four lineages of Dao: Gengmu, Yinghuo, Gengjin, and Pinshui.

Moreover, each article directly addresses the Purple Palace, forming a complete system!

My elder brother and I have a "Xuanhuang Pass" immortal foundation, which is the Mingyang lineage of the Yinghuo Zhuan, and it is also worthy of this "Yandi Fentian Chapter"!

Keep reading, and the real essence will emerge:

"With all four chapters completed, the Four Symbols Immortal Foundation will be fully perfected and revolving, enabling the activation of the ultimate secret technique within the scripture—'The Revolving Four Symbols, the Central Palace of Creation'!"

"By using this secret method to harmonize the power of the four elements, and then finding a rare and precious object of the 'Central Earth' attribute that matches the natural order as a guide, one can reverse the course of creation."

"Beyond the Four Symbols, a new realm was created, forging the fifth foundation of immortality—the *Huangdi Zaiwu Pian* (Xuan Tu, Zhi Zhong)!"

"The Five Elements are now complete, the Four Symbols are supported, the foundation is flawless, and the Great Path to the Purple Palace is open!"

"Note: To practice this scripture, one must possess at least two of the four elements of metal, wood, water, and fire. The more complete the spiritual roots, the deeper the harmony with the four elements, and the easier the cycle of reincarnation. If one possesses all four spiritual roots, one is a chosen one, and cultivation will be twice as effective with half the effort."

"Heaven is helping me!"

Li Xiaoyao almost shouted it out! This technique was practically tailor-made for him!

Not only will it perfectly unleash the potential of his four spiritual roots, but it will also ultimately complete the earth element, achieving a perfect foundation for the Dao! It will also benefit his elder brother!

Without further hesitation, he suppressed his excitement and followed the guidance, connecting the energy of the exchange token with the restrictions on the jade slip.

hum...

The jade slip trembled slightly, transforming into a stream of light that disappeared into the token.

The token shimmered with light, condensing into a tiny mark of the changing seasons.

The complete inheritance of the "Four Symbols Heavenly Will True Scripture" has transformed into a seed of thought, falling into the depths of Li Xiaoyao's sea of ​​consciousness, waiting to be comprehended.

The tokens were taken away, but the gains were already astonishing.

Stepping out of the Sutra Repository, Li Xiaoyao felt his steps falter, a mixture of joy and a heavy sense of responsibility and expectation.

Next came the "shopping spree" that the Li family had been eagerly anticipating.
