Chapter 1: The Cultivating Family's Many Hardships
a giant rock at the edge of a precipice, closing his eyes and breathing in the morning glow, constantly nurturing the primordial purple qi within him."Is it already dawn"He whispered, "Tell the Third...“Young Master, Elder Three summons you.”
The maid called softly from a distance, her expression somewhat constrained.
Chen Nianzhi sat cross-legged on a giant rock at the edge of a precipice, closing his eyes and breathing in the morning glow, constantly nurturing the primordial purple qi within him.
"Is it already dawn"
He whispered, "Tell the Third Elder that I'll be there shortly."
When the maidservant had left, Chen Nianzhi continued to consume the last rays of dawn before slowly finishing his cultivation.
For fifteen years since his rebirth into this world, he would come to this place every morning and evening to absorb the essence of the sun and moon, transforming it into primordial purple qi.
This cultivation technique, which devours the morning glow, is called the Hongmeng Scripture. He had stumbled upon it by chance from a street vendor in his past life. Since then, it has become his supreme method for changing his fate as he traversed this world.
>>>The Hongmeng Sutra can transform the power of dawn and moonlight into Hongmeng Creation Violet Qi. This violet qi has immeasurable uses; even from just his own exploration, it already possesses the miraculous effect of improving spiritual root quality.
He was a five-element root, his aptitude was considered extremely poor. However, he was born with a trace of Primordial Chaos Purple Qi at birth, which raised his aptitude to the level of a three-element root.
Chen Nian knew deeply that this method was the greatest opportunity of his life, so for over ten years he had been diligently practicing, painstakingly absorbing the morning glow and moonlight, accumulating vast purple energy. He never showed it to anyone.
He wouldn't even let others know about his true spiritual root, only saying that he was a dual spiritual root talent.
In this life, his family background was quite good. The Chen clan was a small cultivating family with over a hundred cultivators and even a Foundation Establishment Stage ancestor presiding over them.
Although it may not be considered noteworthy on a larger scale, within the region of Yu County, spanning tens of thousands of miles, it is still quite influential.

As the most outstanding member of the younger generation in the Chen family, he was highly anticipated from a young age. He lived up to expectations, breaking through to the seventh level of Qi Refining at the tender age of fifteen. This already put him on par with many cultivators who had practiced for decades.
>
In comparison, most cultivators of the same age would only just reach the first or second level of Qi Refinement at this age.
Most cultivators start laying the foundation before the age of ten, and they begin formal cultivation at around eleven or twelve. It's not until their forties or fifties that they can break through to the later stages of Qi Condensation through years of hard work.
And because of his innate predestined ability, he began practicing Qi from the age of three. He had eight or nine years more precious cultivation time than others, his cultivation advanced rapidly, enabling him to reach the later stage of Qi Refining three months ago.

After breaking through to the later stage of Qi refining, he received more attention from his family. Now, his status in the Chen clan has improved a lot, and he can be considered to have initially entered the ranks of the high-level family.
Having brought his thoughts back, Chen Nianzhi stood up and walked towards the Clan Affairs Hall of the Three Elders.
The Cangyuan Mountains span thousands of miles, and their main peak, Qing Yuan Peak, is one of the several spiritual mountains in Yu County. There is a second-grade middle-rank spirit vein in the mountain, which is said to have been the territory of the second-grade monster Qing Yuan for hundreds of years.
Later, the ancestors of the Chen clan killed him and took possession of this spiritual vein treasure land. They also married wives and concubines, establishing this immortal cultivating family.
The entire Qingyuan Mountain's spiritual veins are like this: the spiritual energy at the foot of the mountain is relatively thin, and the closer you get to the peak, the richer it becomes. Most cultivators below the sixth level of Qi Refinement have their cave dwellings on the mountainside for cultivation.
Above lies the seventeen-mu spirit field opened up by the Chen family, followed by the ancestral hall. Beyond the mountain, where the spiritual vein spring eye is located, is the place where the clan leader practices.
Elder Chen Qinghao, the eldest of the three elders, is responsible for managing the family affairs. His office, the Clan Affairs Hall, is located on top of the mountain.
As soon as Chen Nianzhi entered the ancestral hall, he noticed something was amiss. The atmosphere in the entire hall was heavy, with over a dozen figures seated inside.
"I have met several uncles and elder brothers."
All present were high-ranking members of the Chen family: the Third Elder, Chen Qinghao, the Fourth Elder, Chen Qingyuan, and the Fifth Elder, Chen Qingwan. The rest were uncles from the generation preceding his father's, and besides him, there was only one older brother among those from the generation following his father’s.

Through generations, green and flourishing; remember the worthy and revere ancestors; help each other and prosper the clan; ascend to immortality.
The Chen family's sixteen-character genealogy, passed down to the present day, has only six or seven people left in the long generation besides the patriarch.
The Chen family had a total of seven elders, all Qi Refining Ninth Layer cultivators of the Qingzi generation. Among them, Elder Chen Qingxu took charge in Pingyang County.
Pingyang County has a population of over 100,000, all descendants of the Chen family. Every year, these ordinary people give birth to one or two Chen family members with spiritual roots, which forms the foundation of the family's inheritance.
As for mortals, both demon cultivators and monster tribes are great supplements to their cultivation. Therefore, in order to protect these clansmen, the Grand Elder would not leave Pingyang County lightly unless there was an important matter.
Elder Chen Qinghe, on the other hand, was in charge of several family-owned shops within Yuyangfang market and was too busy to be spared.
Elder Qi Chang was only thirty-one years old, exceptionally gifted. However, since he had entered the Qingyang Sect, he could only be considered half a member of his family and couldn't protect them.
Seeing that three elders who could come had arrived, in addition to the clan leader recuperating from injuries by seclusion in the back mountain, Chen Nian felt a sense that something must have happened.

As soon as Chen Nianzhi entered, several elders nodded their heads. Chen Nianzhi being able to break through to the late stage of Qi training at the age of fifteen, this talent was no less than that of an extraordinary spiritual root. In the future, there is a high possibility that he will build a foundation, and within the family, he is highly anticipated.
Even Chen Qinghao, who presided over the family meeting, nodded in agreement, rarely showing a hint of warmth.
"When you think of me, you are here."
“Now that everyone is here, I'll tell you what's going on.”

Seeing that over a dozen late Qi training cultivators from his family had arrived, Chen Qinghao retracted his smile and revealed a look of worry.
Chen Nian looked at his expression and felt a slight sinking in her heart. She probably guessed the content that would be discussed at this clan meeting. A year ago, Jiang Dao Ren from Tianxu Mountain had refined a furnace of Foundation Establishment Pills. This time, four pills were successfully made, and two were brought out for auction.
The Foundation Establishment Pill was a rare and precious treasure. At that time, the Chen family sold a lot of their property and even incurred many debts, finally spending over 30,000 spirit stones to buy this Foundation Establishment Pill.
The chieftain, Chen Changxuan, was also ambushed because of this Foundation Establishment Pill. Fortunately, the chieftain was a seventh-layer Foundation Establishment cultivator and managed to escape the siege with the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Although Chen Changxuan managed to slay a Foundation Establishment cultivator in this battle, he also suffered serious injuries. Since returning to Qing Yuan Mountain, he has been secluded in the back mountain's spirit spring, and his current condition is unknown.
This content is currently empty.
After the family obtained the Foundation Establishment Pill, the final selection of people to use it to break through the Foundation Establishment period was best under sixty years old. Those over that age had insufficient qi and blood, and even with the Foundation Establishment Pill, the success rate would rarely exceed 20%.
Of the seven cultivators who have reached the ninth level of Qi refinement within the family, excluding Chen Qingyuan who has joined a sect, the Great Elder is over seventy years old, and the Second Elder Chen Qinghe is over sixty. The Third Elder suffered damage to his foundation during a duel in his early years and has no hope of breaking through.
Among the others, Elder Chen Qingmeng, the sixth elder, was an alchemist. His status and worth in the family surpassed that of the fourth and fifth elders. In the end, he borrowed a large amount of merit and obtained the Zhuji Dan.
For the past three months, Chen Qingmeng has been in seclusion, trying to break through the Foundation Establishment Stage. Logically speaking, regardless of whether or not he succeeds, results should be apparent by now. However, seeing the three elders' troubled expressions, Chen Nianzhi couldn't help but feel a dryness in his throat.i.
