Chapter 32, Taking the Elixir

The cities under the rule of the Immortal Sect are very peaceful, and the people here do not have to worry about food and drink, as they have their own set of rules.

Most people grow medicinal herbs for the Immortal Sect, and only those who own private property can truly gain a foothold in the city, but this is very difficult.

They usually appear in the form of families. As long as a fairy seedling appears, the family will have family land and the right to arrange private property for the family leader.

This is also an important reason why all the members of the Chen family gathered together. The clan's land can support the clan members, and the clan members also need to cultivate and manage it. They all benefit each other.

Chen He only learned a little bit before following his father into the main room, where he paid his respects to his parents and chatted with them.

The main purpose was to understand the family's current situation, such as the clan urging and even actively trying to find a concubine for the father, which the father refused.

For example, my mother gave birth to another son for my father, but unfortunately, he still doesn't have any spiritual roots. The little guy is only one and a half years old.

There's also my younger sister. She didn't get married but chose to stay at home, and no one said anything about it, not even the clansmen.

In fact, there are quite a few women who choose not to marry, which is different from the norm.

Since the younger sister has no spiritual root, she has no reproductive value, and neither her family nor her clan needs her to have children.

Whether she marries out or has a son-in-law move in, it doesn't make much difference. If my younger sister doesn't get married, it just means there's one more person to feed.

Just then, the younger sister came running over, carrying her younger brother in her arms. When she saw Chen He, her eyes turned red.

"You're such a big girl now, and you're still shedding tears." Chen He chuckled, looking at her little brother in her arms. "This boy is lucky."

"Yes," Chen's mother said with a smile, "the family's situation improved, so he came. With you, his older brother, to take care of him, he won't have to worry about the future."

"Hmm," Chen He didn't say much more, "Let's go to the study. You can talk to everyone if you have something to say. Let your younger brother go to sleep first."

"Alright." Old Man Chen instructed the maid to take his youngest son away.

Then the family of four went to the study. Chen He closed the door, took out an array plate and activated it. The array's light covered the surrounding rooms.

"Xiao He?" Chen's mother was startled.

"Don't rush, Xiaohe knows what she's doing," Old Man Chen stopped his wife and looked at Chen He, saying, "Is there something important to tell us? If it's inconvenient, you don't have to say."

"Just in case," Chen He said softly, "My son is now an outer disciple, with Qi Refining and Meridian Opening cultivation, and he's also an alchemist, so I can stand tall."

"Really?" Old Man Chen asked, his face flushed and his lips trembling.

"An alchemist? He really succeeded?" Chen's mother stood up instantly, somewhat incredulous.

To them, alchemists, let alone cultivators, were all high and mighty immortals; the difference between immortals and mortals was ingrained in their very bones.

Moreover, they had long known that Chen He possessed a pseudo-spiritual root of the Five Elements. Even if they didn't understand cultivation, they had been exposed to it since childhood and knew its meaning.

Now, Chen He has brought a great surprise. Even if Chen He doesn't make any breakthroughs in the future, the Chen family will be secure for at least another hundred years.

"It's really done." Chen He nodded slightly and waved his hand, revealing three boxes. "Inside are Foundation Establishment Pills prepared for you."

"Foundation Building Pill?" Old Man Chen took a deep breath. "A pill that can directly advance to the Great Perfection of Foundation Building? I remember it being extremely precious."

"That's right," Chen He admitted. "They were all made by my child, and the quality is very high. It takes about 120 days to finish them. Once you finish them, you can advance to the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, and your lifespan will be extended."

Next, he told us about the instructions for taking the pills, explaining that the pills in each box were the same and that once you started taking them, you couldn't stop.

Then, under his supervision, his father, mother, and younger sister all ate the first Foundation Establishment Pill. Then, while they were digesting the pill, he pricked their fingertips.

The blood fell into the talisman bag, and each person now had a high-quality talisman bag that recognized its owner. They then put away the Foundation Establishment Pill.

"Foundation Establishment Pills are extremely precious, and we don't have any extra for our clansmen," Chen He said calmly. "I will prepare Foundation Establishment Pills for my younger brother after he turns eighteen, so there's no need to worry. As for the others, forget about them."

At least in the short term, he would not hand over the Foundation Establishment Pill to his clansmen, lest it affect his father's authority, and also because the pill was precious.

At this moment, his parents and younger sister had no time to listen to him. After swallowing a Foundation Establishment Pill, he felt hot all over, and his skin, muscles and bones were numb and itchy, with a kind of piercing feeling.

A large amount of sweat seeped out from the skin, quickly soaking the clothes, and the stale air in the body was expelled through the mouth and nose.

His relatively healthy body was rapidly strengthened under the effects of the Foundation Building Pill, becoming powerful from the inside out, and his strength was increasing.

After a short while, the three of them were finally able to fully withstand the power of the elixir, and their complexions became rosy and their spirits were excellent.

"This pill..." Old Man Chen hesitated, unsure of what he wanted to say.

"It contains a second-tier spiritual herb, so it's extremely precious," Chen He said softly. "Don't tell anyone. Take it secretly. You can take it in the morning or evening. Supervise each other. You must take it every day without interruption."

"I understand, don't worry, Xiao He!" Chen's mother smiled broadly. "This is something you worked hard to make, so your good intentions won't be wasted. You should also be careful."

"Don't worry, Mother!" Chen He nodded slightly, and then took out clothing with talismanic items, a simple first-tier array plate, and first-tier talismans, etc.

Chen He had already written down the specific instructions on how to use it. Once they continued to take the Foundation Building Pills to activate their internal blood and qi and retain their spiritual energy, they would naturally be able to use it.

Next, Mother took her younger sister to wash up, while Chen He stayed in the study and chatted with Old Man Chen about many things.

This includes the future direction of the family, how to operate it, and establishing rules for the family. Most importantly, Chen He's attitude towards taking a concubine is clear.

As long as his mother agrees, there won't be any problems on his end, provided that his mother and younger sister are not mistreated.

Old Man Chen agreed with a wry smile. He might have been able to hold on before, but after taking the Foundation Building Pill, the situation would change.

The clan itself had objections to this and would definitely try every means to get Old Man Chen to take a concubine so that more immortal offspring could be born for the Chen family.

One Chen He is still not a safe bet.

It was under such pressure that Chen's mother gritted her teeth and gave birth to her youngest son, which also damaged her health. If Chen He's Foundation Establishment Pill hadn't arrived in time, it might have even affected her lifespan.

The key was that someone in the clan wanted him to have children, and kept giving birth to immortal offspring until Old Man Chen produced a divine seedling. Old Man Chen thus became the savior of the Chen family.

Anyone who only gets one immortal offspring after eighteen generations would go mad, and Chen He understood that perfectly. But he was, after all, a son, and he would definitely side with his mother.

After the father and son reached an agreement, Chen's mother finished washing up and, holding her youngest son, told them to go to bed early.

Chen He left the study and saw his younger sister Chen Miao in the backyard. He walked over and patted the little girl's head. This girl is twenty years old this year and has grown up completely.

"Brother, I don't want to get married," Chen Miao said softly. "I don't want to be like Mother, a tool for reproduction."

"Then don't get married," Chen He said softly. "With me here, you can do whatever you want, as long as it's not excessive. Once you've completed your Foundation Establishment, I'll take you to my cave, as long as you're willing to leave."

"I'm willing." Chen Miao was overjoyed and excited. "Father is very busy now, going to check on the medicinal herb fields with the clansmen every day. Mother also has a younger brother now. I hardly have time to talk anymore. It's too boring being alone."

"Then cultivate diligently," Chen He said, looking at his younger sister. "After taking the Foundation Establishment Pill, cultivate the Foundation Establishment Technique. Four months later, I will take you up the mountain."

"Okay!" Chen Miao nodded solemnly.
