In the Xianwu Continent, the first condition for establishing a cultivating family is: spiritual veins!
If a family wants to exist for a long time, it must have a steady supply of resources, and spiritual veins are the foundation.
Only a family with spiritual veins can be called a true cultivating family and be recognized by others, otherwise it will be short-lived and fleeting.
But it is not easy to find a spiritual vein.
Mingchuan Xiuze is basically occupied by powerful sects and families, and many spiritual veins are also controlled by them.
When a new cultivating family is established, they can only open up wasteland.
Mountains where monsters gather, swamps full of poisonous obstacles, islands surrounded by sea monsters...land reclamation is a vast and arduous process.
How many large sects and families have withered and failed because of this, not to mention the few people who only gathered together because they wanted to establish a family.
Therefore, with the evolution of history and the change of dynasties, another way of establishing a cultivating family developed - relying on a large sect family.
This is also the path chosen by many Qi Refining families today.
As long as there are more than three descendants in the clan who become monks, they can find a large sect to provide spiritual veins for reproduction and development.
Yang Yanqing is at the peak of the eighth level of Qi refining, his wife is at the sixth level of Qi refining, and among his children there is a pair of children who also have spiritual roots and have entered cultivation.
But there is still one heir who is capable of cultivation.
Moreover, even if there are enough people, the big sect may not like you. There are countless such situations. The big sect will naturally choose a more powerful vassal force to avoid unstable tribute and loss of money.
Li Henian shook his head, "It's not spiritual blood. It should be the Zhou family who has come to Baiye City. In the past two years, Yang Yanqing has been in frequent contact with the Zhou family, and from what he said, he is very sure about establishing a family within ten years. As for the number of people, I will give you the details." I don’t understand it either.”
"The Zhou family..." Zhong Yan pondered. The Zhou family is a foundation-building and immortal-cultivating family. There are ancestors in the family who are in the late stage of foundation-building and are quite powerful.
Li Henian sighed, with envy in his eyes, "If it succeeds, Yang Yanqing's foundation building will no longer be a luxury."
Zhong Yan nodded, "During the dinner, I heard that the Fang family in Wangcheng City has also established a clan. The Fire Cloud Sect provides second-level spiritual veins and supports 20,000 spiritual stones!"
"I know! I'm so envious of me!" Li Henian slapped the table and said with a sad look: "That guy Fang Huai is really lucky. His cultivation level is the same as mine, and now he has obtained the pass to build the foundation. It's 100% sure. , Hey, who allowed him to give birth to a good daughter, and let the elders of Huoyun Sect take a fancy to her!"
"Brother, do you know him?" Zhong Yan was amused, and he was also very envious in his heart. Building a foundation, which monk wouldn't want to, this is the first threshold for immortality.
"How come you don't know me! When he was down and out, he asked me to borrow spiritual stones!"
"It's okay to have this friendship. It will be convenient in the future."
Li Henian rolled his eyes, "I didn't borrow it at the time! Who could have imagined that today would happen!"
"Hahaha..." Zhong Yan laughed heartily.
After a pleasant conversation, Li Henian stayed for lunch.
During the banquet, when he learned that Zhong Yan had traded the talisman, Li Henian said: "In that case, from now on, the talisman can be sold to the monks in the city. It will make less money but it is better to be safe."
"My little brother thinks so too."
Although he said this, Zhong Yan knew that he still had to go to Yangquanfang City for trading every time he finished making it.
After all, first-level talismans are only suitable for the early stage of Qi refining, so many of them cannot be consumed in the city. Moreover, his speed of making talismans has improved now and will be even faster in the future.
Before leaving, Li Henian glanced at Jiang Ping and said with a smile: "Brother, please work harder. It's been a while since my brother and sister came in, and there is no movement in their stomachs. Only by having more children will you have a chance!"
Then he changed the subject and said, "By the way, what kind of property have you planned to buy, dear brother?"
"It's not urgent. If you need anything, talk to your brother again."
Zhong Yan doesn't plan to have children for the time being, so Zhong Yan thinks it's unnecessary. The City Lord's Mansion pays a salary of thirty taels of silver every month. After looking at the New Year situation, there should be benefits during the holidays, which is enough for daily expenses. If it doesn't work, he can use spiritual stones to exchange for it. , eight hundred taels of a spiritual stone, easy to solve.
"Okay, let's go first."
"Brother, walk slowly." Jiang Ping stood up and bowed to salute.
After the person left completely, Zhong Yan looked at his wife and said apologetically: "Ping'er, I've wronged you."
In this world, it is very serious for a woman not to have children, and she will inevitably be looked down upon with contempt.
Jiang Ping smiled softly, "Ping'er doesn't care about other people's opinions. It all depends on her husband's wishes."
…
The next day.
Zhong Mansion’s Cultivation Stone Room.
Zhong Yan silently recited a breakthrough. It was not like the previous talisman-making and realm breakthroughs that brought inexplicable power. It was just that he had more understanding of the "Sky Fire Technique" in his mind.
He looked quickly at the panel.
[Name: Zhong Yan]
【Age: 40】
[Realm: Fourth level of Qi refining (47/90000)]
[Skill: "Heavenly Fire Technique" (Elementary 0/2000)]
[Occupation: Talisman Making (First-Level Mid-grade 352/10000)]
"..." Zhong Yan frowned and pressed his lips together tightly.
When the skill is upgraded from beginner level to primary level, the target experience value required for the realm is only reduced by 10,000.
Still need 90,000!
No matter how hard you work on your wife, it will take decades to break through to the next level.
Although he had expected it, he still held a glimmer of hope in his heart.
Now that I see this result, it is really disappointing.
This is only the fifth level of Qi refining, and the subsequent levels will be more difficult.
Moreover, the older you are, the lower the probability of successful foundation building.
"What is the use of such a system?"
"In the final analysis, my qualifications are still too poor..."
Zhong Yan murmured, the corner of his mouth was filled with bitterness. It gave hope, but it was unattainable, and the gap between before and after was even more difficult to accept.
I was depressed for two days.
Zhong Yan settled down and worked hard to make talismans during the day. At night, he and his wife studied the 'knowledge' in "The Queen's Heart" in order to awaken new changes in the system panel.
Until all the materials in hand are consumed, the experience value increases steadily without any change.
So far.
Zhong Yan gave up completely and sighed in his heart, "Probably, the only thing that can cause changes in the system is to practice dual cultivation with a woman with spiritual roots."
But where is it so easy to find a woman with spiritual roots?
Either grab it.
Or... Yangquanfang City has Goulan and brothels specifically for monks to have fun, and there are a large number of female monks in them.
As soon as this idea came up, it lingered in my mind.
In the end, reason prevailed over impulse.
That kind of brothel is a gold-selling cave, with dozens or hundreds of spiritual stones in it, and it is easy to become addicted. Every female cultivator knows the art of enchantment, and all kinds of tricks and postures make people want to stop.
There are many low-level casual cultivators who can't afford to fall because of their addiction to brothels, which is worse than ordinary people's gambling addiction.
"That's all..."
Zhong Yan remembered the Lantern Festival gathering about the "Fang family's establishment of a clan in Wangxi City" and "Yang Yanqing's plan to establish a clan".
After thinking for a long time, his eyes became firm again and he made a decision in his heart.
"Do your best!"
After simply clearing away the talismans on the table, Zhong Yan strode out of the training room.
"Ping'er!"
"Eh!"
Jiang Ping stopped, held a sword flower and carried the long sword behind her back. She looked quite dashing in her black outfit, "My husband, please give me your orders!"
"Go back to your room!"
Jiang Ping was startled and immediately understood the meaning. She raised a shy smile on her lips, glanced at Xiao Huan in the distance, and stepped to follow.
She was wondering why the time had been changed today. She had just studied in the morning and it was already midnight.
Going into the bedroom, the husband was undressing.
"Husband, please wait a moment, Ping'er's body is covered in sweat..."
"Need not!"
Zhong Yan cast a purification spell on her, picked her up and walked to the bed.
Jiang Ping hugged his neck, her beautiful eyes full of spring, "Husband, why... um~"
…
a long time.
When a warm current rushed into her body unbridled, Jiang Ping experienced the endless sublimation of her first night.
She stared at her husband blankly for a while, then two lines of clear tears fell from the corners of her eyes, and she hugged the sky next to her with all her strength.
Zhong Yan looked at the curtain above his head, lost his mind, lowered his head and said with a smile: "Ping'er, it's up to you."
Jiang Ping raised her face, crying and laughing, "Ping'er will definitely live up to her expectations and give birth to many, many children for her husband!"
