Longevity Reward Redemption: The Immortal Clan Starts with Farmers

119: Chen Changsheng cultivates immortality, and his clan’s treasure trove is revealed.After Chen Changsheng broke through to the Innate Realm, he immediately opened his Lifespan panel. As he had expected, breaking through a Realm did indeed increase his Lifespan.

His Lifespan changed to: [Clan Leader’s Current Lifespan: 33 years + 50 years for Innate Breakthrough + 50 years for offspring reward!]

Now, Chen Changsheng had a full one hundred and thirty-three years of Lifespan. Once Chuanwu’s child was born, he could summon the Family treasure and exchange for another item!

Knowing he now possessed a five-element spiritual root, Chen Changsheng headed to the Family’s Scripture Pavilion to find a Qi Refining Cultivation Technique to begin his cultivation.

The Family had accumulated quite a few Qi Refining Cultivation Techniques. After searching for a long time, Chen Changsheng finally selected the ”Earth-Fire Qi Refining Chapter.”

This technique came from Ma Yuwen’s Family and was suitable for Cultivators with earth and fire Spiritual Roots. Although Chen Changsheng had a five-element spiritual root and would progress slowly, he could still practice it.

After obtaining the technique, Chen Changsheng went to his study, took a handful of spirit crystals, and began his cultivation according to the experiences recorded in the book.

It had to be said that a five-element spiritual root was indeed extremely slow for cultivation. It took Chen Changsheng a full day and night just to feel the sense of Qi.

He channeled the Innate inner Qi within his body into his Dantian, condensed a Qi vortex, and transformed it into his first wisp of mana!

When he opened his eyes again, Chen Changsheng felt as if a thin mist had been wiped away from the world; everything had become clear.

”Scheming diligently for thirty years, and in one day I enter the gate of immortality. How gratifying!”

A smile played at the corners of Chen Changsheng’s mouth. He felt light all over, as if he could tread on the void at any moment; in reality, this was just an illusion from his recent Breakthrough.

He opened the door to his study and walked toward the Jade Dragon Pool with his hands behind his back.

”Eh? Father, you’ve reached Qi Refining?”

Chuanjie, who was practicing his sword nearby, saw Chen Changsheng. A flash of surprise and doubt crossed his face as he quickly stepped forward to ask.

”As your father, I can’t let you all leave me too far behind. I just happened to break through to Qi Refining yesterday!”

Chen Changsheng couldn’t suppress the smile on his face, but to maintain his image as a father, he deliberately kept a calm and indifferent expression!

”That’s great! I’ll go tell Eldest Brother and Second Brother!”

Chen Chuanjie was so happy he stopped practicing his sword. Completely transforming into a human megaphone, he began spreading the news of Chen Changsheng’s successful Qi Refining everywhere.

The result was naturally a celebration for the whole Family. That evening, the Chen Family held another Family banquet. This time, Chuanwen even caught two of his precious Black Carp Spirit Fish, making Chuanwu—who had always wanted to use the spirit fish for body tempering—incredibly envious.

Over the next month, the Chen Family’s days flourished, and Chen Changsheng immersed himself in cultivation.

On the last day of the month, the child of the eldest son, which everyone had been looking forward to for so long, was finally born.

When Chen Changsheng arrived at the eldest son’s house, the eldest was pacing back and forth with an anxious expression.

Chuanwen stood nearby making sarcastic remarks, saying the eldest had no composure at all.

Chen Changsheng chuckled. This was truly a case of the tables turning; last time the eldest had teased Chuanwen, and now their roles were reversed.

”Eldest, how is it going?”

Chen Changsheng walked over and asked. Chen Chuanwu shook his head and said with a heavy expression:

”The Midwife has been inside for quite a while. I still don’t know the situation!”

Just then, a baby’s cry echoed from inside the room.

The Midwife then stepped out of the room and said with a smile:

”Eldest Young Master, congratulations! It’s a girl, and both mother and daughter are safe!”

Chen Chuanwu quickly took out a piece of silver for the Midwife and then rushed inside without looking back.

Chen Changsheng followed behind with a smile. Sure enough, after Chuanwu went in, he held his daughter’s cradle and beamed with silly joy!

”Father-in-law, please give this girl a name!”

Wang Juaner, lying on the bed, saw Chen Changsheng enter and spoke with a smile.

Chen Changsheng lowered his head in thought for a moment. Seeing that the little girl wasn’t crying or fussing and was very well-behaved, he had an idea.

”Look at this little girl; she doesn’t cry or make a fuss since she was born. She is so quiet and lovely. Why don’t we call her Chen Chengjing?”

Chen Chuanwu and Wang Juaner had no objections, and thus the name of Chen Changsheng’s first granddaughter was settled.

Amidst the lively atmosphere, Chen Changsheng quietly left and returned to his study.

This was because he had received a System notification: ”Offspring Reward: The Chen Family Ancestor has produced a third-generation descendant. Reward: 50 years of Lifespan!”

In the study, Chen Changsheng’s expression was somewhat excited. He had finally accumulated enough Lifespan to exchange for a reward. Now he had a full one hundred and eighty-three years of Lifespan. He could exchange for most of the rewards, so he had to choose carefully this time!

”Open the Clan Fortune Treasure Trove!”

Chen Changsheng spoke softly.

An illusory ancestral hall appeared out of thin air. The buildings on either side were carved with dragons and painted with phoenixes. In the center was a dark wood offering table, upon which sat a tri-colored yellow jade tripod.

Amidst the swirling incense smoke, the Chen Family genealogy carved on the tripod was faintly visible. Above the tripod was an illusory panel.

[Divine Ability Talent: Wither and Flourish Conversion (Yellow): Can be used on plants to extract the vitality of flora and nurture the growth of selected plants. Effect increases with cultivation level.]

[Lifespan Exchange: 200 years]

[Curiosity: Divination Tortoise Shell (Yellow): Can calculate information ten times. The higher the cultivation, the greater the Karma it can carry, and the better the calculation effect!]

[Lifespan Exchange: 170 years]

[Curiosity: Spirit-Seeking Compass (Yellow) (One-time use): Can search for Spiritual Vein nodes below Yellow grade within a thousand-mile radius to find Spiritual Lands.]

[Exchange Price: 130 years]

[Exotic Insect: Gold-Devouring Insect Egg (Yellow): Can hatch the exotic Gold-Devouring Insect. This insect feeds on iron and steel, its body is as hard as iron, and it can devour mana!]

[Lifespan Exchange: 120 years]

[Clan Leader’s Current Lifespan: 83 years + 100 years from offspring rewards]

Chen Changsheng looked over the treasures before him. Except for the Divine Ability Talent—Wither and Flourish Conversion—he could exchange for any of the remaining treasures. Among them, the newly appeared Gold-Devouring Insect Egg also tempted him quite a bit.

But after weighing his options for a long time, Chen Changsheng ultimately chose the [Spirit-Seeking Compass]. After all, the most important thing for a cultivation Family was a Spiritual Land.

Only with a Spiritual Land could there be enough Spiritual Qi for cultivation, could Spirit Medicines be planted, and Spirit Beasts be raised. It could be said that a Spiritual Land was the Foundation of a Family!

Since Chen Changsheng had caught spirit fish in the Jade Dragon Pool, he strongly suspected that Jade Dragon Peak might have a Spiritual Land.

There was no other way; a Spiritual Land was simply too important for a Family, so he had to take this gamble.

”Exchange for [Spirit-Seeking Compass (One-time use)].”

As Chen Changsheng’s voice fell, he felt his own Lifespan rapidly draining away. His body felt weak for a brief moment, but after that sensation vanished, a palm-sized compass appeared before him.

”So this is the Spirit-Seeking Compass?”

Chen Changsheng took the [Spirit-Seeking Compass] in his hand, and at that moment, the method of use was automatically instilled into his mind.

He only needed to find a place to activate the compass, and nothing within a thousand-mile radius centered there would escape its detection. If a Spiritual Vein existed, it would be found by the compass.

However, this compass could only be used once. After use, regardless of whether anything was found, it would lose its effectiveness!
