Ordinary People: Starting with the Chen Clan

Besides these ten pill bottles, there was only a jade slip and a pitch-black token; there wasn't even a single spirit stone.

He picked up the jade slip, and as soon as his consciousness entered it, his entire head was filled with a vast amount of information. It took him three breaths to recover.

The contents of this jade slip are a hodgepodge. Although it is based on Yin and Yang, it contains various inheritances from both the righteous and demonic paths.

"Being a Core Formation disciple is really not an easy job!"

Chen Xuanzhou sighed softly.

This cannot be considered a cultivation method at all, but rather a newly created cultivation concept. If an ordinary person were to switch to this method after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, they would most likely remain stuck in the early stages of Foundation Establishment for their entire life.

To be able to cultivate to the middle stage is considered to be exceptionally talented.

And he may still be stuck at a bottleneck without knowing why, because at first glance, Chen Xuanzhou also felt that this set of techniques was mysterious, using the fundamental principle of yin and yang repulsion and mutual assistance to cultivate a breath of primordial qi.

However, as a seasoned expert in innovation, I discovered several imperfections after only a little in-depth research.

This is only his initial discovery. Even Old Monster Qiong himself probably doesn't know exactly how many pitfalls there are, otherwise he wouldn't have entrusted it to him for cultivation.

Being used as a guinea pig, Chen Xuanzhou didn't harbor much resentment.

Having lived a life of hardship, he knew long ago that every blessing from heaven comes with a price. As a Core Formation cultivator nearing the end of his lifespan, why would he seek out a disciple with three spiritual roots for no reason?

He probably won't be the first, and whether he'll be the last remains to be seen.

"Old Monster Qiong, let me show you what monstrous comprehension truly means!"

Chen Xuanzhou smiled slightly and began to study the jade slip carefully. As for cultivation, he wasn't in a hurry.

With three Foundation Establishment Pills in hand, why was he in such a hurry? The reason his cultivation hadn't improved in the past year was simply to avoid appearing too shocking, and he hadn't used the empowerment method.

Otherwise, he would be at least 70-80% confident of reaching the 12th level of Qi Refining, if not the 13th.

Now, with the addition of the nine bottles of Pure Yuan Pills given by Old Monster Qiong, achieving Qi Refining Perfection is basically a matter of minutes.

Therefore, as long as you cultivate step by step, the key is to use your incense offerings where they are needed.

Then he took out Bai Wujiu's storage bag. There were many things inside, but nothing caught his eye. He didn't know if the other party was too confident or if he didn't have enough spirit stones to buy other magical artifacts.

He only had that one top-grade magic weapon, the sword box, but he was already well-equipped with various attack methods. Not to mention anything else, there were few Qi Refining cultivators who could withstand the Eight Thunder Strike alone.

As for the long spellcasting animation, it's purely for show.

If combined with the Awakening Mirror in his hand, even a Foundation Establishment cultivator would probably have to ruin a top-grade defensive magic weapon if they tried to withstand it.

The only thing that interested him was that there were a few sword control techniques and some unique metal-attribute cultivation methods inside. He put them away and planned to study them when he had time to see if there were any that could be used to improve his own mana purification techniques.

Thus, Chen Xuanzhou, who had just begun his training, started his secluded cultivation journey. However, this seclusion was not about staying in the courtyard all the time; on the contrary, he would go out from time to time.

The only place they were going to was the Sutra Repository of the Hidden Moon Sect.

Furthermore, his privileges are higher than those of ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators, allowing him to browse through some important inheritances of the Hidden Moon Sect without any scruples. This is not for any other reason than that token allows him to move freely without hindrance.

This also shows that the other party has made it clear.

If you can't even understand this hint, then you can't blame anyone but yourself if you get scammed.

In the blink of an eye, he had been a member of the Hidden Moon Sect for three months. Thanks to the pills and the remaining spirit crystals, his cultivation had reached the eleventh level of Qi Refining, and this was only the most insignificant progress.

In the past three months, he has consumed dozens of orange-colored condensed beads and, with the Yin-Yang Two Qi Technique as the core, modified a set of dual cultivation secret methods. When the husband and wife cultivate together, it can not only accelerate the cultivation speed, but also increase the chances of pregnancy.

Furthermore, if one nourishes the child with one's own Yin and Yang energies before the child is born, it may even improve the child's aptitude.

It was named the Two Elements Return to Origin Contract by Chen Xuanzhou.

As for the cultivation techniques that Old Monster Qiong taught him, Chen Xuanzhou would only take them out to apply ice to his head when he felt dizzy from creating the techniques.

It's impossible to modify it or try to fully comprehend it.

So what if it's been changed?

Old Monster Qiong: "What kind of demon dares to possess my beloved disciple? I'll search your soul and destroy it!"

If it can't be modified, then it would be a complete waste of the condensed pearl.

On this day, as usual, Chen Xuanzhou wanted to use the Condensed Pearl to comprehend several cultivation techniques. Suddenly, the incense burner, which had been as quiet as a virgin in his dantian, trembled slightly, as if it had woken up, and moved upwards along the Ren meridian.

He acted as if he were visiting his own home, completely ignoring Chen Xuanzhou's orders.

In the end, Chen Xuanzhou could only watch helplessly as it flew into his sea of ​​consciousness, and at the same time, a stream of consciousness was crammed into his mind.

Fortunately, Chen Xuanzhou was already used to it, and this time there wasn't much content; in summary, it boiled down to two things.

First, he no longer needs to rush to establish his foundation. He has already completed the task of advancing to the main lineage, and the incense burner has thus completely recognized him as its master, forever guarding his divine sea. He no longer needs to worry about any attacks on his divine soul.

Secondly, after the incense burner recognizes its owner, it gains a conferment function.

"That's my first achievement since coming here, no problem at all!"

Chen Xuanzhou's lips curled up slightly, and he almost couldn't suppress his smug expression.

There's not much to say about the first point. Chen Xuanzhou probably did it because the news of him being taken in as a disciple by Old Monster Qiong had spread back, and the Chen family in Huangfeng Valley did him a favor after learning about it.

The key point is this second investiture, which is not for people, but for various spiritual beings.

It includes not only various demonic beasts, but also spiritual plants and magical artifacts that lack sentience.

Once a being is granted a title, it is bound to the Chen clan, and even in death, its soul will bear the surname Chen.

Of course, the beings who are granted titles also receive benefits, as they are protected by the fortune of the Chen clan and their intelligence can be enhanced.

For example, demonic beasts can possess intelligence similar to that of cultivators even before they take human form, and spiritual plants can even be awakened.

But before Chen Xuanzhou could be happy, he realized that he was not qualified to be granted an official title at all.

Only after establishing one's foundation can one be granted a title, and the only place that can be granted such a title is the ancestral land.

The ancestral land conferment is different from that of living beings; there is only one such conferment. Of course, it can be moved, but it is more complicated.

However, the ancestral land is not established immediately upon being conferred a title; it requires a process.

The longer the conferment period lasts, the deeper the spiritual veins are bound to the ancestral land, greatly enhancing the abilities that assist clansmen in breaking through and accelerating their cultivation. Conversely, the better the Chen family develops, the more the ancestral land will benefit from this.

Upgrading the spiritual veins is the most basic step; there will also be various rare and precious treasures produced.
