Wizard: Building a Cultivation Family from Scratch

"Ancestor, is this what you called 'spiritual energy'?"

How amazing…

In the tranquil forest, Oriana sat cross-legged on the soft grass.

Sunlight streamed through the lush green canopy, making the entire meadow appear as translucent as jade.

Gordon sat on a rock not far away, watching the somewhat excited Orianna, and felt a little happy as well.

This is because I am happy about Oriana's innocent appearance.

This was also because I successfully completed the first task released by the system.

[Congratulations, Orianna has successfully completed her first "Qi Induction"!]

You have received a reward: Draw 1 "Basic Spell"

[You have received the reward: Shared Qi Sea]

As expected, just like in my previous life, I received the appropriate reward after completing the task.

However, what Gordon cares about most among these rewards is not the unremarkable chance to draw a "basic spell".

Instead, it has an unfamiliar name called "Qi Sea Sharing".

When the name "Qi Sea Sharing" first appeared, Gordon didn't know what it meant.

But now, he finally understands it completely.

Gordon "closed his eyes," cutting off the line of sight.

Immediately afterwards, in the darkness, a pale green "sea of ​​qi" suddenly appeared, resembling an emerald lake.

This is where he stores spiritual energy.

Since the resurrected Gordon is a skeleton without a physical body, he naturally cannot gather spiritual energy and improve his cultivation through traditional methods such as "refining essence into qi".

But now, he possesses a "sea of ​​qi" within his "divine consciousness," which can simulate the functions of an ordinary person's "spiritual aperture," "Dao foundation," and even "golden core."

Of course, what surprised Gordon the most was that his "sea of ​​qi" was actually connected to Orianna!

In other words, the improvement in Orianna's cultivation will also be transferred to him!

This is a reward I've never encountered in my previous life!

Is it because the Roland family has a higher rating?

Gordon was unaware of the real reason.

But he understood that if this "sea of ​​qi" could also be connected to other family members, it would bring him unimaginable benefits!

"Yes, Oriana, you can think of it as... what wizards often call 'magic'."

Although Gordon lived more than a thousand years ago, he was, after all, a legendary knight.

  

Therefore, he still knows some common knowledge about the wizarding world.

Even after so much time has passed, the principles and common sense knowledge are still applicable today.

Seeing Orianna's somewhat confused expression, Gordon could only continue explaining:

"If you've read any books that chronicle the deeds of wizards, you'll find that they frequently use terms like psychic power, magic, and elements, right?"

"Yes." Orianna nodded quickly.

Gordon's topic touched on one of her most interesting areas.

"Legend has it that they can borrow power from the gods, then control those invisible elements, and finally use powerful and mysterious witchcraft."

Oriana couldn't wait to share all her knowledge about "wizards".

"Gods, no, no, no..."

Gordon chuckled and shook his head: "Those guys don't believe in any gods, that's why the church doesn't like wizards."

"Or rather..."

Gordon searched his memory while carefully considering the words:

"Wizards believe in the existence of gods in this world, but they prefer to study and explore the gods rather than believe in them."

"Research and spying..."

At this moment, Oriana was completely captivated by Gordon's words, her bright eyes filled with longing.

"My God... what a bunch of crazy people!"

Oriana's voice contained no fear, but rather excitement and curiosity.

"Yes."

Gordon continued:

"So their real source of power is not, as you said, borrowing from the gods."

Instead, he used his knowledge to summarize a set of methods to enhance his own "spiritual power" and call upon various elements in the world.

Then they were fixed into a certain magical model, which eventually formed powerful and extremely destructive magical spells.

Gordon's process of explaining to Oriana was actually a process of himself rediscovering the extraordinary powers of this world.

He discovered that the wizards of this world had many similarities to the cultivators of his previous life.

In particular, the so-called "spiritual power" and "magic power" are similar to the "divine consciousness" and "spiritual energy" of cultivators.

However, the differences between the two are also very obvious.

The biggest difference is that, although cultivators also focus on strengthening themselves, their fundamental method is to "follow the way of heaven," which involves "discovering" and "utilizing" the natural order.

It means acknowledging one's own limitations and recognizing the "chaotic" nature of the power of Heaven.

On this basis, we should utilize all means and methods to empower ourselves with the power of heaven and earth.

Wizards, on the other hand, are the opposite.

They are crazy, arrogant, and paranoid.

Always trying to dismantle everything in this world.

If they could do that, they might even want to dissect the gods to see how they could also attain divinity...

"And the 'spiritual energy' you just felt."

Gordon explained to Oriana, "You can think of it as a unique substance, like 'magic.' It already exists in this world, but we can 'introduce' it into our bodies using certain methods."

Oriana was now completely devoted to Gordon.

She had initially been somewhat suspicious of Gordon's "true identity"—after all, he had suddenly jumped out of the family cemetery and looked like an undead creature.

But now, she no longer has any doubts.

After all, only a legendary knight like Gordon could possibly know so much secret knowledge!

This was also the first time Orianna had felt "power".

The feeling was as if an invisible door had opened in front of me, and inside the door was a whole new world.

This made Oriana extremely obsessed.

She blinked, looking at the forest that had become clearer before her, and asked eagerly:

"Ancestor, when will I be able to learn those magical spells?"

"That will take quite some time; you've only just completed the 'qi-guiding' process."

In fact, Orianna's training speed exceeded Gordon's expectations.

In just a few days, he completed the first round of "drawing qi into the body," which is something that a cultivator with a "fourth-grade spiritual root" cannot do.

Based on past life experience, a cultivator with a "fourth-grade spiritual root" needs at least one to two months to complete the first round of "qi induction".

Even though what Professor Gordon gave her was a superior cultivation technique recorded in the "Heavenly Dao Book Pavilion"—the "Tai Xu Yang Ling Jing".

This cultivation speed is a bit too fast.

The only explanation is that the concentration of spiritual energy in this world might be even higher than in the cultivation world of my previous life...

"What a waste..."

Unfortunately, the people here have completely chosen the wrong tech tree.

Gordon couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

The development of civilization is inherently full of chance.

Since the extraordinary beings of this world have chosen a completely different power system, they are destined to be unrelated to cultivation.
