Longevity Family: Let Her Live At The Beginning, Let Her Live

Ten days later.

A woman in red sent a letter, wanting to exchange cultivation techniques with Zhang Ran.

They spent the whole day exchanging ideas, and the next day they came out of the house together.

One year later.

Nearly fifty ordinary people were born, bringing some improvement in their cultivation.

Unfortunately, it was only in terms of cultivation and lifespan.

Zhang Ran managed to break through to the tenth level of Qi Refining.

But the breakthrough was not over yet.

Xu Lingwei, Jiang Xiaoling, and Liu Qingqing gave birth to three children with spiritual aptitude.

Xu Lingwei had already given birth three times, and only one of the births did not have spiritual roots. This luck was considered extremely good.

Although all three children had first-grade spiritual roots, it was still good.

After three hundred years of cultivation, three hundred years of lifespan, and three hundred years of talisman refining experience, unfortunately, there were no other rewards.

Zhang Ran's cultivation had reached the tenth level of Qi Refining.

His level as a talisman master had also reached the second stage, allowing him to engrave Dao techniques comparable to the Foundation Building Stage.

However, his cultivation was still at the Qi Refining stage, so the talismans he drew could not reach the power of second-stage talismans, but they were much stronger than first-stage talismans.

In this year.

Zhang Ran heard that the head of the Wang family had been seriously injured after going to the Huoyuan Mountain Range and died when he returned to the family. The family also fell apart.

That day, a group of masked cultivators came under the cover of night and burned, killed, and looted the Wang family.

The descendants of the Wang family who had cultivation were few, and the highest level was only the fifth level of Qi Refining, so they were no match.

That night, the Wang family was engulfed in flames, and thousands of people died, and all their treasures were looted.

Such things were common in the cultivation world, and Zhang Ran couldn't help but feel a bit regretful after hearing about it.

After all, the head of the Wang family had invited him to go together.

If he had gone back then, would the same thing have happened? His wife and family would have suffered such a disaster, and a large family would have collapsed instantly.

"It seems that in the future, I should avoid taking risks if possible. Since I have the system, I should use it to improve myself."

During this period, Zhang Ran returned to the Evergreen Sect, completed several non-dangerous tasks, and received the corresponding rewards before returning home.

After all, the Evergreen Sect was a major sect and did not support idle people. Every year, disciples had to complete one or two tasks, otherwise they would be expelled from the sect.

In order to have more interactions with his senior and junior sisters in the sect in the future, Zhang Ran naturally would not lose his identity as a disciple of the Evergreen Sect. Moreover, the sect's Scripture Pavilion and Refining Pavilion had many things that Zhang Ran needed.

The system did not reward martial arts and weapons every time, so it was best to prepare some on his own.

Since he could refine talismans, he sold quite a few in the markets of some independent cultivators and earned some spirit stones. In total, he had more than fifty top-grade first-stage talismans, equivalent to the Daoist attacks of the tenth level of Qi Refining.

After selling them all, he purchased a low-grade defensive Law Weapon, the Azure Dragon Shield, in the Evergreen Sect.

After that.

Zhang Ran married three female cultivators at the first or second level of Qi Refining.

This continued until Zhang Ran was 101 years old.

In nearly thirty years, six children with first-grade spiritual roots were born, as well as five children with pseudo-spiritual roots, and over a thousand ordinary people.

And today,

He finally broke through.

After nearly thirty years of effort, he finally reached the Foundation Building Stage.

And when his tenth child with spiritual roots was born, disregarding the pseudo-spiritual roots, at least a first-grade spiritual root was considered.

The system gave some additional rewards.

[Congratulations, host, for giving birth to ten immortal children. Your spiritual roots have been upgraded to second-grade.]

[Reward: First-grade comprehension.]

[Reward: Super Storage Ring]

[Reward: Mid-grade Law Weapon, Primordial Yang Umbrella]

[Reward: Second-tier Dao Technique, Meteor Fire Rain]

Zhang Ran, with his second-grade spiritual root, has become even more attuned to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. His cultivation speed has greatly increased, and the flow rate of spiritual energy within his body has also become much faster.

Especially after Foundation Building, his spiritual energy is now like a river compared to a stream before. His comprehension has also reached the first level, which means that his progress in cultivating Dao techniques and skills will be much faster.

Although the skills and Dao techniques given to him by the system are already integrated and do not require further practice, there are always some powerful and amazing skills that appear. It would be a pity if he didn't practice them when he comes across them.

With a casual wave, the fireball technique he used is several times larger than before, carrying an unmatched momentum as it rushes out, completely burning down the training hall ahead.

"Husband, congratulations on breaking through to Foundation Building."

"Congratulations, Clan Master, on the breakthrough."

Several wives at the Qi Refining stage walked over, feeling the aura emanating from Zhang Ran. They were both surprised and delighted. They knew what it meant for their husband to reach Foundation Building.

Even the concubines among them were filled with joy. After all, in the cultivation world, they occasionally interacted with the legitimate wives and knew that immortals also have different realms. Foundation Building represents absolute strength, and Qi Refining cultivators are like ants in front of Foundation Building cultivators.

Therefore, the Zhang family was filled with joy, as if they could see the future glory of the Zhang family.

"Well, after I visit Evergreen Sect, I will hold a Foundation Building banquet. Our Zhang family should also have some reputation in this small place."

Zhang Ran has already reached Foundation Building and is no longer an ordinary Qi Refining cultivator. He has truly entered the path of immortality. Normally, Foundation Building cultivators have a lifespan of two to five hundred years, but Zhang Ran already has over eight thousand years of lifespan.

As for holding a Foundation Building banquet, one reason is to enhance the reputation of the Zhang family. His descendants can also meet more cultivators, and there is a possibility for his descendants to form relationships with cultivators and have talented children. There are rewards for this as well.

Moreover, after the banquet, many independent cultivators will come because of its fame. Some small forces and clans will also actively curry favor, so there is no need for him to search for a Dao companion himself.

With Foundation Building cultivation, he can directly fly to Evergreen Sect on a flying sword.

On his right thumb, there is a green ring with many talismans inside, as well as a low-grade Law Weapon, the Qingming Sword, and a mid-grade Law Weapon, the Primordial Yang Umbrella.

Standing behind him are two young boys dressed in green, both around twelve years old.

These two are his sons, whom he plans to send to Evergreen Sect for cultivation. After all, his own family doesn't have much to offer.

Zhang Ran's sons all have first-grade spiritual roots, at most reaching the fifth or sixth level of Qi Refining. This is already their limit. If they don't break through within a certain time, they can only leave the mountain and return to the Zhang family.

While they were in Evergreen Sect, they created some benefits for the sect and also gained many Law Weapons, Dao techniques, and cultivation methods. When they return to the family, they can bring some back, gradually strengthening the Zhang family.

Being able to snowball like this is all based on Zhang Ran having a systematic approach. It's impossible for ordinary cultivators to have so many offspring who are cultivators. They would have long perished by the time they reach a hundred years old.

Moreover, after reaching their forties or fifties, their appearance deteriorates, and it's unlikely that there would be so many female cultivators willing to become their Dao companions.

Zhang Fei, his first son with spiritual roots, was sent to Evergreen Sect a long time ago and now has reached the third level of Qi Refining.

Evergreen Sect covers millions of acres, with its main gate located between two towering mountains.

Holding their disciple tokens, Zhang Ran and his two sons entered and made their way to the registration office.

Zhang Ran's two sons were also amazed, curiously observing everything—the floating rocks in the air, the rare and exotic beasts flying overhead.

The rich spiritual energy refreshed them, making it feel like a fairyland.

So, this is Dad's sect. It's really powerful.

After arriving at the registration office, the person in charge saw Zhang Ran approaching with two children who looked somewhat similar and said, "Senior Brother Zhang, you've had two children with spiritual roots again. You're really amazing."

Zhang Ran chuckled and said, "Oh, it's nothing. It's just an accident. Wang Junior Brother, could you please help me with the procedures for these two children?"

"Sure, no problem."

Wang Junior Brother stood up and immediately felt a strong pressure from Zhang Ran's aura.

He exclaimed in surprise, "Senior Brother Zhang, you... you've reached Foundation Building!"

Zhang Ran nodded and said, "Yes, it's just a stroke of luck."

"Luck? Senior Brother Zhang, no, Senior Zhang, congratulations! Achieving Foundation Building is an extremely rare accomplishment. There's no such thing as luck. Foundation Building is Foundation Building," Wang Junior Brother confirmed, immediately adopting a respectful attitude towards Zhang Ran.

Zhang Ran also understood Wang Junior Brother's reaction and didn't say much in return. This is how it is in the cultivation world. Once you're at a higher realm, you can control those below you, let alone someone at a much higher realm.

"I'll trouble you with these two children. I need to go to the Changqing Hall," Zhang Ran said.

"Don't worry, Senior Zhang. I'll make sure to arrange everything properly," Wang Junior Brother replied politely. He treated Zhang Ran's two children with great respect as well.

Seeing how powerful their father was, the two children secretly vowed to become strong like him and marry hundreds of wives, just like him.
