Cultivating Immortality Begins with Rejuvenation

Yan Qingwan had always hoped that Li Fan's spiritual root would be slightly better.

She didn't even expect too much; as long as he had more than five strands of fire spiritual root, she would find a way to fund Li Fan's breakthrough to the late stage of Qi training.

At that time, with his comprehension, becoming a first-order senior alchemist would be considered bringing honor to his father and cultivating a reserve alchemist for the family.

After all, Li Ji'an's spiritual root in his previous life was at most two strands, so how good could his offspring be?

She also didn't believe that Li Ji'an, with his mere mid-stage Qi training cultivation and no backing, could find a Dao companion who was much better.

So, she never thought about the possibility of his spiritual root being too good.

But now… the spiritual root exceeded her expectations too much.

Even a mid-grade spiritual root like fourteen strands of wood element would have been acceptable to her.

But now, with a spiritual root approaching high-grade, coupled with the intelligence and extraordinary comprehension he has shown since childhood, there is a great hope for Foundation Establishment.

However, cultivation in this world is not just about having spiritual roots, comprehension, and temperament; it's not enough to just provide him with a cultivation ground.

Without spiritual resources to supplement him, let alone a spiritual root approaching high-grade, even a true high-grade spiritual root may not be able to successfully establish a foundation.

What's more, there's the most crucial Foundation Establishment Pill!

But he is, after all, not a member of the Yan family.

The Yan family and the other seven major families in the wilderness may seem to be at the top, but in reality, their resources are not that abundant. Although their annual profits exceed ten thousand spirit stones, the family is large and every member must be considered. The amount that can actually be saved is only a few thousand.

Then there are investments in various industries, subsidies, and the risk reserves for unexpected situations that may arise at any time, medicine reserves, strategic reserves…

Being able to save enough resources for one Foundation Establishment in each era is already fortunate, at least ensuring that there is always a Foundation Establishment Ancestor to protect the family.

Yan Qingwan's Foundation Establishment in this generation is mainly due to her potential as a senior alchemist. The family, for the sake of a second-order alchemist, took the risk of using the family's reserve funds to support her in reaching Foundation Establishment.

Not to mention this generation, even the next generation, if there are no accidents, the family will basically not have any more Foundation Establishment resources to support.

Let alone Li Ji'an, an outsider!

How to treat Li Fan in the future became a conflicting matter for Yan Qingwan at this moment.

Besides that, she really couldn't imagine what kind of Dao companion Li Ji'an had found?

"Li-dage's spiritual root was so poor… could it be that he found a peerless genius Dao companion with an earth spiritual root?"

"Would a genius with an earth spiritual root condescend to him?"

In this world, great powers have long studied the innate origin of a person, confirming that the vast majority comes from their parents, and is related to both parents.

If the parents have good spiritual roots, their offspring are more likely to have good spiritual roots.

Conversely, there is a very high probability that they will not be good.

Of course, there may be mutations in the innate origin, but the probability of that is too small, and there is a limit.

It is impossible for both parents to have low-grade spiritual roots and the offspring to have high-grade.

"Li-dage, you have truly given me a great surprise… and also presented me with a great problem!" Yan Qingwan's eyes dimmed, and she sighed faintly.

However, Yan Kongyi and Yan Hongsheng were not as conflicted as she was; they were filled with shock and joy.

Like the others in the family, after all, the emergence of a promising junior in the family represents a deeper foundation for the family's future, a great happy event.

At this moment, the earth spiritual root on the spirit testing stone has also been revealed, with eleven strands of spiritual rhyme.

Li Ji'an stared intently at the five elements displayed on the spirit testing stone, unable to suppress the smile on his lips.

It really exceeded his expectations too much.

"So my innate origin is so strong… if it weren't for those eight years of delay, would it have been a true high-grade spiritual root?"

"I wonder if there are any miraculous pills or ancient secret methods in this world that can further supplement it?"

In the midst of his excitement, he also let out a long breath.

The biggest obstacle to his ultimate goal of immortality for ten thousand lifetimes has been removed!

Let alone a high-grade spiritual root, even if his innate origin limit is as it is now, he is satisfied and equally full of confidence.

Li Ji'an left the spirit testing stone, first thanking Yan Qingwan and the other high-level members of the family, and then thanking all the members of the family on the field.

Extraordinary talent, future potential, coupled with "sincerity", a guaranteed winning combination.

This made those female cultivators in the family who were originally somewhat dissatisfied with Li Ji'an in his previous life instantly ashamed, and they no longer had any negative emotions towards Li Ji'an in their hearts.

——

Hall of Affairs.

Yan Zongsheng and a group of elders looked at Yan Qingwan in shock, their faces full of suspicion.

"This… once our family produces another senior alchemist or senior talisman master, we will definitely take another step forward, even rivaling the Zheng family!" Yan Zongsheng was the first to express his disagreement.

"That's right, this old man can guarantee that the kid will be proficient in talismans in less than thirty years!" Yan Kongyi, who has always been a mature and prudent character, was somewhat collapsing at this moment, and he hurriedly echoed.

"Qingwan, think twice, we all like this little guy." Yan Hongsheng kept winking at the other elders.

Yan Qingwan looked at the elders calmly, her expression firm.

"Hey, Qingwan, are you worried that he has the qualifications for Foundation Establishment and is afraid that he will leave the family to seek opportunities for Foundation Establishment in the future?" Someone suddenly noticed the key point.

"A spiritual root approaching high-grade does indeed have the qualifications for Foundation Establishment, but… Qingwan, I think you are probably overthinking it. With his background, even if we can't help him establish a foundation, he won't be able to find a better possibility. In the end, he can only stay in the family."

"Yes, we have been so sincere to each other. Who else can treat him like we do? Even if he joins another family, it will definitely not be as good as in our family. We should have confidence in this."

"As for the others, he can't be willing to be a rogue cultivator, right? Even a first-order senior alchemist or a first-order senior talisman master can only barely gain a foothold in the immortal city. As for seeking Foundation Establishment resources, it is almost impossible, unless… he has the qualifications of an Alchemy King or Talisman Saint!"

……

Yan Qingwan nodded slowly, then stood up and bowed to the elders: "Everyone, please forgive Qingwan for being willful this time."

"Qingwan!" Yan Zongsheng frowned. No one knows a daughter like her father. He knew that Yan Qingwan was determined.

The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

"Qingwan is willing to give up the possibility of taking another step forward, and will focus on alchemy from now on to make up for this wilfulness. Please fulfill my request, elders!" Yan Qingwan's words were firm.

"Oh, Qingwan, why are you doing this!"

"Why go to such lengths?"

The council of elders was stunned.

Yan Qingwan took a deep breath, first looked at the elders, then at Yan Zongsheng: "Everyone, just take this as Qingwan's obsession, also a demon in my heart. Sixteen years ago, I wronged him. Now, I can't wrong Fan'er again.

I have made up my mind, and I will send him to the Azure Cloud Sect trial in a few days!"

After three days and nights of deliberation, Yan Qingwan finally made a decision.

Li Ji'an staying in the family will definitely not have the possibility of Foundation Establishment.

And as the elders said, even if he diligently studies alchemy or talisman techniques in the family, unless he reaches the legendary level, it will be difficult to gather Foundation Establishment resources when he enters the immortal city.

After all, the immortal city is not short of first-order alchemists or talisman masters!

The only chance Yan Qingwan could think of for Li Fan to establish a foundation in this life was the sect.

Faced with Yan Qingwan's firm attitude, the elders had no choice but to compromise.

They had always looked at the matter from the family's perspective, originally thinking that Yan Qingwan was worried that after painstakingly cultivating Li Ji'an into an alchemist or talisman master, he would run away, causing losses to the family.

As a result, it turned out to be because of guilt.

It was caused by her, and now it was leaving because of her, so they couldn't say anything.

That night, Yan Qingwan told Li Ji'an about her decision.

This was also a pleasant surprise for Li Ji'an.

Sects are more inclusive than families.

Moreover, the Azure Cloud Sect dominates Cangyun Prefecture, and its wealth and power are unmatched. He had specifically inquired about it in his first year in the cultivation world.

Once you enter the Azure Cloud Sect, you can almost walk sideways in the entire Cangyun Prefecture.

And as long as you can show your potential or actively complete sect missions, inner disciples are qualified to exchange for Foundation Establishment Pills, which are difficult to find outside.

Furthermore, as long as he joins the Azure Cloud Sect, the family that abducted blood slaves from the Celestial Bestowment Dynasty will be nothing to worry about.

"It's just… with this spiritual root in this life, I'm afraid it may not be possible. A mid-grade spiritual root is only the minimum requirement for participating in the assessment… Furthermore, the situation inside the sect may not be the same as the rumors outside." Li Ji'an had no confidence in this based on his previous understanding.

If he really had confidence, he might have planned it long ago.

However, no matter what the outcome, Yan Qingwan's actions really moved Li Ji'an deeply.

Parents love their children and plan far ahead for them.

Yan Qingwan really treated him like her own child.

He will remember this kindness in his heart!
