The Longevity Family: Starting From The Branches And Leaves

Chapter 2: First Tier Middle Grade Refiner (Please collect and follow)

"After five years of waiting, it's finally here!"

Chen Ling couldn't contain his excitement in his heart.

"No wonder it's called the Incense Cultivation System, it turns out that it needs to give birth to its own bloodline to activate!"

"Ah, I didn't expect it to be opened in this way?"

If we were to talk about the difference between now and the past,

it would be that he now has his own bloodline.

Chen Ling felt a bit frustrated in his heart, how did he end up with such a weird system!

But in the end, it still arrived!

Although he regretted not opening branches and leaves earlier, no matter what, he finally had a golden finger, and hope for future cultivation ignited once again!

But for now, he still had to start a fire and cook.

Taking a deep breath, he suppressed his excitement.

First, start a fire and cook.

Then, he rubbed his eyes and his gaze fell back on the panel.

The attributes on the panel were clear and concise.

He quickly scanned it and then focused his attention on lifespan.

"Lifespan: 30 days!"

"So, I only have a month of lifespan left?"

Chen Ling's heart couldn't help but beat faster, and his face became unsightly.

It seemed that this was probably due to being contaminated by the evil source!

The joy of the appearance of the golden finger that was originally in his heart instantly dissipated by more than half.

"Ah, now I can only find a way to remove the evil energy in my body!"

Chen Ling sighed, his face reluctantly returning to calm. After all, with the golden finger, he still had some hope in his heart!

Continue studying the panel!

"It seems that this is a system that allows you to increase your cultivation and lifespan by establishing your own family, making the family prosperous, and gaining incense value!"

Relying on his nine years of compulsory education in Chinese, Chen Ling quickly summarized the function of the system.

Sure enough, gaining incense value still came at a cost!

If there was no cost and it was just an inexplicable gift from the system, it would make him uneasy.

The education he received in his previous life made him firmly believe in one truth: there's no such thing as a free lunch! All gifts from fate have already been marked with a price.

At this time, the prompt changed again, [Prompt: One incense value can increase lifespan by ten days.]

Seeing this, Chen Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Without any hesitation, he moved his divine sense and quickly clicked on the + sign next to lifespan.

With a flash on the panel, Chen Ling nervously scanned it again.

Sure enough, lifespan: 110.

"Eight incense values increased by 80 days!"

"To survive, I can only increase my incense value as soon as possible!"

Chen Ling pondered and muttered to himself, "Offspring, family resources, family reputation..."

"I only have eight broken spirits in my hands, and no other resources. Moreover, there are many dangers near the market, so it's not reliable to increase family resources for now!"

"Family reputation, I can't even afford nutritional supplements for my wife who just gave birth, so what reputation is there?"

...

"It seems that increasing offspring is the most practical, but Yunxiu just gave birth safely, and if she were to give birth again, it would have to be a year later. Distant water cannot put out a nearby fire."

"Ah! It seems that I can only increase the population first!"

After weighing the options, Chen Ling found the least risky and most practical solution.

However, in the market, taking a concubine is not an easy task, especially for someone like him, a low-level cultivator who lives from hand to mouth.

Just finding a matchmaker to arrange a marriage would cost several spirit stones, not to mention the betrothal gifts and dowry!

If he were to marry a mortal woman, it would be a bit easier.

But if it were a female cultivator, without dozens of spirit stones, it would be impossible.

In addition, he still had to solve the problem of food and clothing right now!

He could only earn spirit stones first.

Next, his gaze fell on the incense value.

There were still 10 left.

His divine sense moved again and clicked on the + sign behind the Basic Refining Technique.

"Refining Technique, give me some points!"

Immediately, the value of incense points rapidly decreased.

At the same time, he seemed to have a sense of enlightenment in refining.

In his sea of consciousness, it felt like a figure was quickly drawing different formations.

In less than ten breaths, the figure in his mind disappeared, and that mysterious feeling disappeared along with it.

"Is it over?"

Chen Ling subconsciously looked at the panel again.

Name: Chen Ling

Incense Value: 0

Spirit Roots: Mixed Spirit Roots of Four Elements (Gold, Wood, Fire, Earth, 58/100) (+)

Realm: Qi Refining, Third Level

Cultivation Technique: Qingyan Decision (Entry Level: 40/100) (+)

Skill: Basic Refining Decision (Initial Understanding: 38/100) (+)

Divine Ability: None

Lifespan: 110 days (+)

Refiner: First Rank, Intermediate Grade

[Family Progress: Currently three members in the family, can accumulate 1 Incense Value in four days!]

[Tip: The more family members, the higher the Incense Value!]

"The Refining Decision has broken through, from entry level to initial understanding! A first rank, intermediate grade refiner!"

"But, did it only consume 10 Incense Values?"

Chen Ling looked at the skill column, his eyes flickered, and a hint of joy appeared on his face.

To think that he successfully reached the first rank, intermediate grade with just 10 Incense Values. This is truly exciting!

It should be noted that he had been practicing the Basic Refining Decision for five years, only mastering four first-level restrictions and one second-level restriction.

To become a first rank, intermediate grade refiner, one must at least master a third-level restriction.

At the same time, the family progress column brought him a pleasant surprise. With three people, they could gain an additional Incense Value in four days?

This undoubtedly reminded him to quickly increase the population.

Just as he was about to continue studying the changes after improving the Refining Decision, the spiritual porridge in the pot emitted a steaming aroma.

"Let's serve some porridge to Yunxiu first!"

With a thought, the panel in front of him transformed into a small dot of light. Without opening it, it was impossible to discover.

His wife's condition would affect the future of their offspring, so he must take good care of her.

A moment later.

The fragrant spiritual rice porridge was ready. He filled a large bowl and brought it into the room.

The child was sleeping in his wife's arms.

He walked to the bedside and carefully fed the porridge to his wife.

After drinking the porridge.

He Yunxiu's complexion improved significantly, and she turned to the side, looking gently at the sleeping child!

"Yunxiu, you should rest well. I still need to refine tools and buy some supplements for you at the market!"

Chen Ling said gently.

He Yunxiu softly said, "Husband, don't overwork yourself!"

After cleaning up the bowls and chopsticks.

He couldn't wait to go to the refining room.

Sitting cross-legged on the meditation cushion, he took a deep breath, adjusted his breath, and cleared his mind.

Fortune came to the mind, and more than a dozen restrictions actually appeared in his sea of consciousness.

These were all restrictions that he had not mastered in his usual cultivation.

Like the first-level restrictions of cooling and dust removal.

Second-level restrictions like whirlwind, wishful, and defensive restrictions.

There was even a third-level Flame Enhancement Formation.

Chen Ling knew that these insights were all the result of the added Incense Values.

He was quite satisfied with this effect.

He immediately took out the spiritual board, activated the Qingyan Decision, controlled his spiritual power, and began to outline the spiritual patterns of the restrictions on the spiritual board.

The spiritual power was like a sword, falling like flowing clouds and water, without any hindrance. The spiritual power was smooth, and everything was extremely smooth, as if he had already drawn it a thousand times.

In no time, a second-level whirlwind restriction was completed in one go.

"It's done!"

Chen Ling couldn't control his excitement, enduring the almost emptying of his spiritual power.

It should be noted that he had been refining restrictions for five years, and he had never experienced such smoothness and completion in one go!

Even for first-level restrictions, his success rate was less than thirty percent.

Taking a deep breath, he suppressed the excitement in his heart.

"Take a break, restore spiritual power, and then try to engrave the restrictions onto the sword."

Afterward, Chen Ling meditated to restore his spiritual power.

Half an hour later.

He took out the sword and prepared to engrave the whirlwind restriction.

A weapon containing second-level restrictions like this would cost more than twenty low-grade spirit stones in the market, and the price of a sword would be even higher.

As he outlined the spiritual power on the surface of the sword, the bright and distinct restrictions appeared on the blade.

A second-level restriction containing more than thirty spiritual patterns, the process must not have any mistakes or pauses.

"It's done!"

After a quarter of an hour, the glow of the restrictions on the sword gradually dimmed, and finally all entered the sword. Chen Ling relaxed his tense spirit, feeling completely exhausted.

Looking at the shining sword on the desk, joy appeared on his face.

A first rank, intermediate grade refiner!

Only an intermediate grade refiner could successfully engrave a second-level restriction in one go!

"From now on, by making more tools every day, I can earn enough spirit stones. Not only can I support my family, but I can also buy elixirs to resolve the poison in my body!"

At this moment, his eyes were filled with anticipation for the future!
