Wizard: Building a Cultivation Family from Scratch

Fourth-grade spiritual root...

This qualification can hardly be described as good.

Looking at the information before him, Gordon immediately made an assessment in his mind.

In her previous life, someone with Oriana's talent could only barely become an inner disciple of some major sects at best.

Without the continuous resource support from one's family and sufficient opportunities, one might never be able to break through to the "Foundation Establishment" stage in their lifetime.

Fortunately, the other party also possesses the destiny of "knowing ten things from one".

This gave Ge Dun some psychological comfort.

Based on Gordon's past life experience.

There aren't actually many clan members whose [Destiny] can be refreshed in the [Clan Cultivation] panel.

Since he started creating the Immortal Clan, he has only encountered a dozen or so clansmen who possess a [Destiny].

The so-called "destiny" is both the innate talent of a clan member and an indication of their "destiny".

For example, if a member of the clan is destined to "become a late bloomer," then never try to give him a lot of resources in the hope that he can grow quickly—even if he has a "first-class spiritual root" or even a "super-grade spiritual root."

Otherwise, it will only backfire.

This frequent setbacks and slow progress in his cultivation might actually be the best outcome...

Gordon had not seen many "destiny charts".

However, according to the system panel prompts, they can be roughly divided into five grades: Common, Lower, Middle, Upper, and Heavenly.

The types are incredibly diverse and endless...

Although Orianna's "Know One Thing and Know Ten" is only of "medium quality", it has a wide range of uses.

Its primary function is to enable the owner to possess extremely strong comprehension, thinking ability, and learning ability.

If a member of the clan possesses this destiny and also has excellent spiritual roots and aptitude, then naturally there's no question about it; they should be nurtured with all their might.

If the opportunity is right, it is easy to break through the upper limit of ordinary cultivators and reach a high realm.

However, if one's spiritual root aptitude is poor—like Orianna—the upper limit of their cultivation will often be limited.

The best way to cultivate them is to let them delve into the fields of "cultivating immortality through various arts" and "studying Taoist practices".

Perhaps groundbreaking research results will emerge—such as developing new types of elixirs or improving cultivation methods.

This would be enough to benefit the entire family.

"A thirst for power?"

  

Orianna, whose hair was tied in a ponytail, was stunned, not understanding why her "ancestor" would say something that seemed so nonsensical.

However, she quickly realized what was happening:

Sitting behind this desk right now is Gordon Rowland!

A true legend!

It is said that he was a great being who could hunt down an adult black dragon all by himself back then!

Aside from those mysterious, mad, and terrifying high-ranking wizards, "legendary knights" like Gordon Roland were practically the strongest fighting force on the continent at that time.

"My ancestor... do you mean you wish to personally guide me?"

Oriana was so excited that she became incoherent.

She's not one of those rich heiresses who like to hide in castles all day.

She lost both her parents at a young age, and her favorite thing in life was to go hunting in the woodlands with her beloved Uncle Cade.

She was even very interested in the occult, especially the magical witchcraft, knowledge, and alchemical creations of the wizarding world.

Unfortunately, after hundreds of years of decline, the Roland family's assets had been almost entirely sold off.

There was nothing worthwhile to pass down for Oriana to learn.

But things are different now.

Standing before her was a legendary knight from a thousand years ago!

Is there a better mentor than Gordon?

The excited expression didn't last long.

Orianna quickly realized a problem, and her little face instantly fell:

She could never be a "knight".

It is important to know that on this continent, regardless of which country one is in, to obtain the noble title of "Knight," one must "activate the seed of power."

This is a mandatory requirement and cannot be changed.

Only those who successfully awaken the "Seed of Power" can be considered true superhumans and are worthy of being awarded the title of knight.

Cade Rowland had no children during his lifetime.

As the first in line to the throne, Orianna was naturally groomed to be his successor from a young age.

Unfortunately, after several years of trying, Baron Cade finally confirmed that Oriana indeed did not have the talent to be a knight.

The only two remaining paths are to become a "clergyman" or "become a wizard."

After all, without strong power to rely on, Orianna, with only a noble title, would only become easy prey in the eyes of foreign tribes.

However, becoming either a "clergyman" or a "wizard" is extremely difficult.

The former requires Orianna to be "favored by the gods," which is almost predetermined from birth.

The latter requires extraordinary talent, as well as terrifying wealth and resources to support it...

Clearly, even if Orianna truly has the potential to become a wizard, the Roland family currently lacks sufficient wealth.

"certainly."

A hoarse voice came from Gordon's pale jaw.

"Look around, Oriana!"

Gordon leaned back in his chair, spread his arms wide in an exaggerated manner, pointed to the somewhat dilapidated room with only a few empty bookshelves, and said, half-jokingly:

"Can you believe this is actually the Roland family's castle?"

Back in the day, my personal collection of books alone was comparable to the entire Royal Library!

But what about now?

"Snapped!"

Gordon stretched out his pale, bony hand and slammed it heavily on the book "Detailed Explanation of Basic Potions," saying somewhat angrily:

"This place is even more shabby than a country knight's manor!"

Orianna lowered her head in shame, not daring to look at Gordon's dark eyes that shimmered with the fire of his soul.

She felt a burning pain on her face, and an indescribable sense of self-reproach rose in her heart.

yes……

The Roland family was incredibly powerful and influential back in the day!

But now they've actually fallen so low that they have to sell their possessions to make a living.

Moreover, Oriana knew perfectly well that they were selling off much more than just a few lumberyards and mills...

They even sold off all the books, armor, weapons, and personal belongings passed down from their ancestors...

If she were Gordon, she would probably be even angrier than she is now!

"Yes, I'm sorry... Ancestor."

This is all our fault; we failed to protect the legacy laid by our ancestors…”

Young Oriana was almost in tears as she was scolded by her great-great-great-great-great-grandfather.

She wiped her reddened eyes, trying her best to hold back her sobs and prevent her voice from trembling:

"But, but... Ancestor."

I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you again.

Uncle Cade trained me when he was alive, and he discovered that I couldn't activate the 'Seed of Power' and couldn't become a knight...

By the end, Oriana was so ashamed that her voice was almost inaudible.

Behind the desk, Gordon, draped in a black robe, gazed intently at his descendant with his deep-set eyes:

"No, it's okay."

"Wh-what?"

Orianna was momentarily stunned.

In her view, Gordon was one of the greatest knights of a thousand years ago.

The fact that one cannot activate the "seed of power" will inevitably disappoint the other party.

But what she didn't know was that Gordon didn't care about any of that.

Unable to activate the "Seed of Power"?

What the hell is that?

Could this thing be more important than opening the spiritual aperture, building the foundation of the Dao, and forming the golden core?
