The Longevity Family: Starting From The Branches And Leaves

Chapter 20: Low-Grade Spiritual Roots (Seeking Continued Reading and Collection)

Originally, Chen Ling was pleased to become a guest alchemist at the Wanbao Tower and have a stable source of orders. However, he couldn't help but feel lost when he realized that he couldn't resist the charm techniques of the Tianxiang Tower women.

This made him somewhat melancholic.

His originally joyful mood had faded quite a bit.

"Ah! I still need to quickly improve my cultivation!"

Returning home.

He Yunxiu was in the hall, coaxing Xiaoping'an to sleep.

"Husband, you're back so late?"

Although she knew that the market was relatively safe, she couldn't change the habit she had developed over the years.

"Yuner, I've become a first-tier alchemist!"

Looking at his wife and child, Chen Ling felt much more relaxed. He sat comfortably in a chair, poured a glass of water, took a sip, and smiled at his wife.

Seeing his wife constantly worrying and fearing for him, Chen Ling was the first to tell her the good news, reassuring her.

"Really become a first-tier alchemist?"

As the daughter of a first-tier alchemist, He Yunxiu naturally knew what it meant to be a first-tier alchemist. Surprised, she asked.

Chen Ling confidently nodded.

He Yunxiu widened her eyes, covered her mouth, and was both surprised and delighted, with an expression that seemed like she had finally made it through difficult times.

Father had once said that Chen Ling's aptitude was limited, and it would be difficult for him to become a first-tier alchemist in this lifetime.

But now, at just over thirty years old, Chen Ling had become a first-tier alchemist. His alchemy skills were not inferior to his father's, which naturally made her extremely happy.

More importantly, becoming a first-tier alchemist would make it easier to earn spirit stones in the future.

Their life with Ping'an would also be more secure.

With a joyful expression on her face, she said, "I'll warm up the food for you!"

He Yunxiu handed Ping'an to Chen Ling and quickly got busy.

In addition to the four rooms, the small courtyard also had a small kitchen and a bathroom.

The houses in the market not only had abundant spiritual energy but also had better facilities than the houses in Hongye Lane.

Soon, He Yunxiu served the hot meal, and Chen Ling's stomach growled with hunger. He ate greedily.

After finishing the meal.

With a satisfied expression, Chen Ling went to the cultivation room.

First, he took out the jade slip of "Forty-Eight Forbidden Alchemy Techniques" and infused his divine sense into it, carefully studying it.

The first third of the jade slip contained sixth-level forbidden techniques, while the rest contained seventh to ninth-level forbidden techniques, mostly commonly used ones with the five elements attributes.

In addition to specific drawing methods, there were also tips and techniques to pay attention to during the drawing process.

And there were corrections for various errors that could occur during the drawing.

It was extremely detailed.

Coupled with his already good foundation, he quickly understood it.

Then he opened his personal attribute panel.

He glanced at it.

He showed a pleased expression. His lifespan had reached the normal level of a Qi Refining cultivator.

"Forty-Eight Forbidden Alchemy Techniques" also appeared on the panel.

As long as he could grasp the basics, it would be easy to cultivate by adding points!

"But with the cultivation of the Fourth Layer of Qi Refining, the success rate of drawing seventh-level forbidden techniques is almost zero!"

"So I still need to quickly improve my cultivation!"

Chen Ling thought to himself.

"The 'Forty-Eight Techniques of Refining Tools and Forbidden Laws,' give me a boost!"

Chen Ling's thoughts focused on adding a point to the '+1' after the 'Forty-Eight Techniques of Refining Tools and Forbidden Laws.'

Immediately.

A figure appeared in his sea of consciousness, as if wielding magical power in his hand, and one by one, the shadows of the forbidden laws emerged.

In about ten breaths or so, the breakthrough was completed.

Chen Ling closed his eyes.

He could clearly feel each sixth-level forbidden law flashing through his sea of consciousness. He felt extremely proficient, able to start drawing as long as he had a thought.

This is the benefit of adding points, like being tempered by a thousand hammers!

Looking at the remaining 17 incense values and the fact that his lifespan had returned to normal, Chen Ling directly clicked to enhance his spiritual roots.

Boom!

An extremely powerful and scorching hot airflow emerged from nothingness and poured into his body.

It buzzed and sounded like boiling water surging and burning.

Spiritual energy bloomed in every part of his body, and the spiritual power in his meridians instantly became violent.

At the same time, Chen Ling felt a piercing pain throughout his meridians, as if they could be torn apart at any moment.

His face changed, he took a deep breath, and quickly operated his techniques, allowing his thoughts to penetrate and exert all his strength to guide this violent airflow into his sea of qi.

At this moment, his internal organs suddenly became extremely hot, as if his body was engulfed in raging flames, causing unbearable pain throughout his body.

The whole process lasted about ten breaths.

Then, as if being led by a mysterious energy, the sea of qi, meridians, and acupoints began to churn and roar with spiritual energy.

Chen Ling widened his eyes, unable to control himself, and fell to the ground convulsing.

Intense pain spread throughout his body, as if his bones were being shattered.

Chen Ling maintained a clear consciousness, gritted his teeth, and resiliently resisted the intense pain.

This promotion was so brutal, completely beyond his expectations!

As the scorching hot airflow gradually merged into the sea of qi, the pain all over his body gradually dissipated.

Then, Chen Ling felt as if his originally hot body was immersed in an ice bucket. Every pore on his body instantly relaxed, as if he had been reborn in fire, making him feel light and floating.

During this process, a trace of spiritual energy was generated in his acupoints.

Hoo.

Chen Ling naturally operated the Qingyan Art and continued his cultivation.

Between each inhalation and exhalation, he could keenly feel the fluctuations of spiritual energy around him.

Time passed bit by bit.

Until nightfall.

He slowly opened his eyes and ended his cultivation.

Carefully sensing the spiritual power in his body.

Chen Ling couldn't hide his excitement as he clenched his fist.

In just a few weeks of operation, he had actually opened up a new spiritual orifice.

It should be known that with his original cultivation level, it would take at least three months or even years to activate a spiritual orifice.

Now that he had reached forty-five acupoints, as long as he could reach fifty, he would enter the fifth level of Qi Refining.

"The future is promising! The future is promising!" he couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Calming down, he looked at the panel again.
