Chapter 383: Chapter 380: Father’s Lifebound Spiritual Beast
“Uncle Ji, what a spirit!”
Qin Long was so moved by the old family master’s words that he slamd the table and declared, “From now on, we will work hard to nurture more outstanding juniors from the family. When they can support the family, I will accompany Uncle Ji to travel the world, exploring the breathtaking sceneries of the void realms!”
“Cough, cough…”
Qin Guanbao nearly choked on his saliva.
He watched Qin Long speechlessly.
The old man was just casually speaking, yet you took it seriously!
And do you even know what the old man wants to do? You want to co with . Who brings a junior along when trying to steal pleasures?
Just that one ti I got drunk and took Qin Feng to Baihua Pavilion already turned into a big joke, making unable to look him in the eye anymore. If you catch red-handed, where would my dignity be?
Besides, I dare not even make decisions on arranging matches, worried about giving Qin Feng a stepmother and upsetting him. If I travel the world with you, experiencing beauties in different realms, who knows what Qin Feng would think.
Qin Guanbao dared not agree to Qin Long and quickly changed the subject, asking Qin Feng, “Feng’er, what treasures have you prepared for ? Bring them out and let feast my eyes.”
“Sure.”
Qin Feng chuckled, “I was about to show them to Granduncle. If you spot any issues, please point them out imdiately. If there’s anything else you need, I’ll prepare it as quickly as possible. Together, we’ll aim to advance to the Golden Core Realm at the fastest possible rate, strengthening our family’s foundation, so we are not so easily bullied by those ordinary Foundation Establishnt Sword Cultivators from Taiyi Mountain!
In the early stages of cultivation, as long as there are sufficient resources, one can significantly reduce the ti needed. Qi Refining Realm only needs to accumulate True Yuan, and the Foundation Establishnt Realm, if there are no major self-imposed demands, simply requires refining the Taoist body.
Even for geniuses of various sects, at most, they might comprehend a Cultivation Technique a bit more or condense so Divine Skills to have a more robust foundation after advancing to Golden Core, so these two realms are best for cultivation.
You’ve also accumulated many years as a seasoned cultivator, and your Daoist heart has been polished enough. What you lack are so resources, and fortunately, I’m not short on those. This ti’s campaign in the Otherworld was quite fruitful, enough to cultivate both you and Father into Golden Core Cultivators.”
“What about ? What about ?”
Next to him, Qin Yang’s eyes widened, and he hurriedly tugged at Qin Feng’s sleeve saying, “Afeng, my cousin has always taken good care of you. You can’t leave out if there are benefits.
I don’t ask you to make a high-level Golden Core Realm expert in a short ti, as the resources to speed up cultivation are too precious, and I’m not being unreasonable. Just get a suitable Spiritual Artifact.”
“Really just one Spiritual Artifact?”
Qin Feng looked at Qin Yang in surprise.
“Yes, yes, yes, just one suitable Spiritual Artifact will do, although two would be even better.”
Qin Yang said, “You know that I’ve been cultivating the ‘Void Shattering Technique,’ and the most compatible with this technique is the Void Shattering Hamr.
Unfortunately, to forge a qualified Void Shattering Hamr, plenty of top-grade materials are needed, which are not few in consumption. I don’t have enough resources to purchase those materials nor can I afford a skilled Artifact Refiner. Although the family has gained quite a bit these past few years, to refine a pair of Void Shattering Hamrs, which could beco Lifebound Magical Treasures in the future, would still be a huge burden for the family.”
“Well then, a pair of Void Shattering Hamrs is no problem. I’ll find soone to forge them for you later.”
Qin Feng said with a hint of regret, shaking his head, “I had also prepared quite a few cultivation resources for Foundation Establishnt Cultivators. Since you don’t want them, I might as well give them to Third Uncle.”
“Ah?”
Qin Yang was stunned for a mont, then exclaid, “No, I want it!”
He had never imagined that Qin Feng, while helping the family support two Foundation Establishnt Cultivators to advance to the Golden Core Realm, would still have surplus resources. Not wanting to miss the opportunity, he hurriedly said, “The third uncle is old and has limited potential. Even if you give him resources, at most he can only advance to the middle stage of Foundation Establishnt. In the long run, it’s far better to give them to .”
Qin Feng teased, “Didn’t you only want the hamr?”
“That was just thinking about easing so of your burden. How would I know you actually had so many resources?”
Qin Yang chuckled, “I’m still young, and my aptitude and potential are both better than the third uncle’s. Even though I’ve just entered Foundation Establishnt, in a confrontation, he wouldn’t stand a chance against .
So, Afeng, it’s better to leave the cultivation resources for .”
The Old Family Master, standing beside them, glared at him, disliking his sowhat disrespectful way of speaking, but did not object, because Qin Yang spoke the truth.
The age of the third uncle was more than a decade older than him, now nearly one hundred and ninety years old, with his lifespan almost at its end. Even though the family’s cultivation resources had increased sowhat in recent years, the third uncle had only managed a slight advancent, moving from the second layer to the third layer of Foundation Establishnt; his potential was exhausted, and providing him with more resources would be wasteful.
Qin Yang, however, was different. This young man was only thirty years old, and managing to achieve Foundation Establishnt at this age would already be considered quite a good seedling in so smaller sects.
Young, energetic, and quite shrewd, he was certainly more worth cultivating.
In fact, both the Old Family Master and Qin Long saw great potential in him and had already intended to focus on cultivating him, or else he wouldn’t have been able to progress so rapidly and reach Foundation Establishnt in these few years.
Qin Feng smiled, “We’ll see how you perform. Later, I’ll explain the cultivation intricacies of the ‘Void Shattering Technique’ to you. If you perform well, I can give you more resources. If your understanding is poor and your progress slow, then the cultivation resources will be reduced accordingly, leaving the grandfather to select soone else with better aptitude from the family to focus on cultivating.”
Actually, that was just sothing he said to put so pressure on Qin Yang.
In truth, the Qin family had few promising talents at the mont. If they did not provide Qin Yang with resources for cultivation, were they truly supposed to give them to the third uncle?
Even if given to the third uncle, he would secretly keep them to cultivate his direct descendants; he would not be willing to waste too much.
As for the younger generation of the family, even if a few had decent aptitude, they did not need these cultivation resources yet. The Qi Refining stage was not in short supply in the family, they could wait until they had reached the Foundation Establishnt Realm.
Moreover, once Qin Feng had conquered Qifeng Mountain, the family’s Spirit Veins would suddenly increase, whether it was mining various resources or opening up Spiritual Fields to grow various Spiritual Objects, there would no longer be a shortage for the cultivation needs of family cultivators.
As long as they could take full control of Qifeng Mountain, the Qin family would worry about not having enough cultivators for decades to co, rather than a lack of ordinary cultivation resources.
“Don’t worry, I will cultivate diligently.”
Qin Yang patted his chest with a thumping sound, “When it cos to diligent cultivation, ordinary family mbers can’t keep up with .”
“Cultivation isn’t just about diligent practice, as your cultivation improves, understanding will beco increasingly important. Cousin, if you are truly dedicated, you should devote more energy to understanding the cultivation techniques, otherwise blindly imrsing yourself in hard practice will likely limit your achievents.”
After saying this, Qin Feng took out so Elixir Pills and so heavenly materials and earthly treasures that he had prepared for the Old Family Master.
“These Elixir Pills are for the grandfather’s cultivation. If you take them daily in combination, you will surely be able to elevate your cultivation to the peak of Foundation Establishnt in the shortest ti.”
“Hisss…”
The old family master flipped through the jade bottle, and upon seeing the na of the elixir pills inside, he involuntarily gasped in shock.
He hesitated a bit, “So many precious elixir pills, all for an old man like to consu, isn’t that a bit wasteful?”
Qin Feng shook his head, “For our Qin Family, the greatest loss would be if you, old sir, do not advance to the Golden Core level.”
He handed all the elixir pills to the old family master, saying, “You are not young anymore, so please do not hesitate to use them, do not fear wastage, just focus on completing the refinent of your Taoist body.
Moreover, these heavenly and earthly treasures are all prepared for your Lifebound Spiritual Beast, the Shadow Leopard.
The physique of a spiritual beast is robust and its ridians are thick, able to withstand more violent surges of spiritual power. During this period, try your best to enhance the strength of the Shadow Leopard first. Once it reaches the peak of the Foundation Establishnt Realm, allow it to consu the demon core of the Shadow Demon Snake, striving for a successful Core Formation.
The Shadow Demon Snake is a unique type of demon snake from the Red Fla Demon Realm, possessing an innate skill to transform into a shadow, lurking stealthily and striking covertly, unfailingly successful. Moreover, this demon core, being the energy essence extracted from a Level Seven Middle Rank Shadow Demon Snake, has power attributes most suitable for your Shadow Leopard.
Once the Shadow Leopard advances, it will reciprocate and assist your cultivation.
Generally, spiritual beasts have longer lifespans than cultivators; the Shadow Leopard is definitely not nearing the end of its life. It is relatively easier for it to advance, so Granduncle, please prioritize wisely and not focus solely on your own cultivation!”
“Rest assured, rest assured, I naturally understand these principles,” said the old family master.
Qin Guanbao, looking at all the cultivation resources in front of him, was also sowhat overwheld by emotion, “If I still cannot achieve Core Formation with so many top-level cultivation resources, that would be quite wasteful.”
The old family master fantasized for a mont about his life after advancing to the Golden Core Realm, how his lifespan would increase, and all his bodily functions would definitely beco stronger, or rather return to the state of his youth. He thought that if he were to go to Baihua Pavilion by then, he would no longer have to worry about his old back not being able to withstand it.
After a while, he regained his senses, looked at the pitch-black demon core, and hesitated, “This item is heavily tainted with demonic qi. Would using it as an evolution item for my Lifebound Spiritual Beast be too risky? If the Shadow Leopard’s internal strength is contaminated by the demonic qi, and I, being connected to it, have my True Yuan also tainted by the demonic qi, wouldn’t that turn into a Demon Cultivator?”
“Granduncle makes a valid point. I was only focused on gathering resources earlier and forgot about this,” Qin Feng remarked.
After thinking a bit, he said, “This is what we’ll do; I will keep this demon core for now and find ti later to refine away the demonic qi for you. After all, the Shadow Leopard’s strength is still sowhat insufficient. Before it cultivates to the peak of the Foundation Establishnt Realm, I will surely be able to refine the demon core completely, leaving only the pure Shadow Power.
However, you must push to advance your cultivation quickly. I will be staying in the family for a few months, and it would be best if you could bring the Shadow Leopard to the peak of Foundation Establishnt during this ti. This way, I will be able to protect it during its advancent, ensuring no mishaps occur.”
“Okay.”
Qin Guanbao nodded, “Rest assured, during this ti, I will diligently cultivate within the family and will not exit secluded cultivation until I advance to the Golden Core!”
“Granduncle, what a spirited declaration!”
Qin Feng smiled and then took out many more cultivation resources from the storage bag and handed them to his father, saying, “Dad, this is your share. I see you have already cultivated to the sixth level of Foundation Establishnt; do not conserve resources now but rather quickly push your cultivation to the peak of the sixth level, and then consu the Breaking Barrier Pill to advance to the late stage of Foundation Establishnt.
During my previous exploration in the Otherworld, I obtained a few Dragon Spirit Fruits in the Dragon’s Grave there, of which I have kept one Fire Elent Dragon Spirit Fruit for you. Once you reach the seventh level of Foundation Establishnt, directly consu the Dragon Spirit Fruit, which could directly bring your cultivation to the peak of Foundation Establishnt. With so more polishing, you might succeed in forming a core.
Well, you could actually compete with Granduncle to see who first advances to the Golden Core and becos the first Golden Core Cultivator to preside over our family.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Long and the old family master exchanged glances, their hearts stirred.
Though Qin Feng was the second Golden Core Cultivator in the family since the ancient ancestor who left the Qin Family bloodline inheritance, he had to return to his sect and could not stay long in the family. In the future, the real supporters of the family would still be them.
Whichever one of them was the first to advance to the Golden Core would be recorded in the family annals for future generations to venerate, with a specific order, which was a great honor, and even Qin Long took this matter to heart.
The Old Family Master, who had controlled the family for over a century, was not willing to see Qin Long, a junior, advance before him. If that happened, he would be ranked behind Qin Long in the family genealogy. Where would that leave his honor?
Therefore, originally feeling composed due to the many cultivation resources, the Old Family Master suddenly felt a sense of urgency.
He made a decision in his heart that he must rush back and devote himself to cultivation, and by no ans could he let Qin Long beat him to it.
Becoming the family’s third Golden Core Cultivator was a position very close to that of their ancestors. The younger generations would ntion him in the future, and those ranked lower would not be so frequently rembered by the clan mbers unless they made special contributions.
Seeing that he had stirred up the competitiveness of these elders, Qin Feng couldn’t help but chuckle, then flipped his hand and placed a huge Demon Dragon Egg on the ground.
Everyone was startled upon seeing such a large Demon Dragon Egg suddenly being presented.
Qin Yang, having seen less of the world, was particularly surprised, as the largest eggs he had ever seen were those laid by the geese raised by ordinary clansn.
Now, unexpectedly seeing an egg that was about five feet tall was certainly shocking.
“My goodness, this egg weighs more than a hundred goose eggs combined!”
Qin Yang, curious, wanted to reach out and touch the Demon Dragon Egg, but before he could, he felt a faint aura of intimidation, which scared him so much that he didn’t dare to act rashly. Astonished, he asked Qin Feng, “What kind of Demon Beast’s egg is this? It’s incredibly formidable.”
“This is a Demon Dragon Egg I obtained from the Red Fla Demon Realm,” Qin Feng said with a smile. “A so-called Super Demon Beast can contend with a Dharma Image Cultivator.”
“What? An egg laid by a Dharma Image Realm Demon Beast?”
The Old Family Master and Qin Long were also utterly shocked.
“Exactly.”
Qin Feng continued to smile, “The Giant Dragon Clan is inherently a top-level Demon Beast race, possessing potent bloodline inheritance. Upon reaching adulthood, they are ninth level Demon Beasts capable of contending with Purple Mansion Cultivators. In reality, the only difference between a Super Demon Dragon Egg and a regular Giant Dragon Egg lies in the slightly stronger Primordial Qi and potentially denser origin power.
“Father’s Lifebound Spiritual Beast was slain in its early years, and due to his Divine Soul being damaged, not only has he not refined any other Spiritual Beasts, but his cultivation has also seen little progress. Now, however, father has fully recovered and his cultivation is advancing rapidly. It would be a pity not to refine a Lifebound Spiritual Beast using this opportunity before advancing to the Golden Core Realm.
“So, I’d like to give this Demon Dragon Egg to father for refining. With the Demon Dragon as his Lifebound Spiritual Beast, father’s potential will be much greater than an ordinary cultivator.”
“This… this is too precious.”
Qin Long repeatedly shook his head, “Feng’er, you should refine it instead. Such a powerful Spiritual Beast will achieve greater effects in your hands.”
“Why should father be so courteous with ?”
Qin Feng said with a smile, “This Demon Dragon has yet to hatch. Nurturing it from infancy would demand a great deal of ti and effort, which I simply do not have. Compared to a young Giant Dragon, I prefer mature ones!”
