Becoming a true immortal through my descendents' praying

He was startled to see someone casting spells on the Yang Family's Spirit Field.

Yang Genshuo rubbed his eyes and looked again, Jiang Xiaobai was sitting outside the Spirit Field, cross-legged on the ground, with her palms facing up on either side of her body, her body flickered with a faint light.

Yang Genshuo felt a stir in his heart and opened Jiang Xiaobai's Character Card.

[Name: Jiang Xiaobai]

[Gender: Female]

[Identity: Shopkeeper of Yang's Tabletop Game Tea House]

[Life Span: 16/100]

[Realm: Fetal Breathing Stage, First Layer]

[Spirit Root: Five Spirit Roots (Metal: 17, Wood: 23, Water: 20, Fire: 20, Earth: 20)]

[Comprehension: 20]

[Qi Fortune: 20]

[Talent: Wood Element Affinity (Earth Level)]

[Skills: Xuan Stone Energy Attraction Skill, Spiritual Rain Skill]

"So it really is her..."

"Sigh, I knew someone with a Spirit Root wouldn't be so simple."

"How could an ordinary family give birth to a child with a Spirit Root?"

Yang Genshuo's thoughts drifted back to the day two years ago when he took in Jiang Xiaobai.

That day, after his excitement over picking up an SR card had settled, he made a special decision.

Not to tell Jiang Xiaobai about her having a Spirit Root.

To keep that secret until Yang Shi passed away.

"Once embarked on the Immortal Path, all becomes vast and hazy, without consideration, who could forget?"

Jiang Xiaobai's natural life span was 100 years, Yang Shi only had 70, and Yang Shi was 4 years older than her.

Meaning, under normal circumstances, after Yang Shi's death, she could live for another 34 years.

If she was to cultivate... her life span would extend even further.

By then, the highly cultivated Jiang Xiaobai would become the true controller of the Yang Family, something Yang Genshuo didn't want to see.

But reality wouldn't follow his script, as Jiang Xiaobai had started on the path of Immortal Cultivation herself.

He glanced at the record, where three months ago, Jiang Xiaobai had taken two Low Grade Spirit Stones from Yang Shi.

In three months, she had stepped into the ranks of Cultivators.

"Even if the Spiritual Rain Skill is simple, it still needs someone to teach it, right?"

"Where did the 'Xuan Stone Energy Attraction Skill' come from?"

"Jiang Xiaobai... just how much are you hiding?"

Yang Genshuo rubbed his face, feeling that things were out of his control, and even the Spiritual Rain falling from the sky couldn't cheer him up.

In some ways, the brainwaves of Yang Shi and Yang Genshuo matched quite well.

Seeing Jiang Xiaobai casting rain, Yang Shi probably understood why the old ancestor had him take her in and treat her well.

"Brother, I've done it!!"

"I'm a Cultivator now, I can protect you in the future!"

A thousand thoughts flashed through his mind, but in the end, looking at the joyfully running little potato, he still hugged her and fondly stroked her head.

"Silly girl..."

"Cultivating is amazing, huh? Am I, a Half-step Innate Master, proud of it?"

"From now on, just focus on farming for my family!"

Jiang Xiaobai lifted her head from Yang Shi's embrace and said in a tiny voice, her cheeks blushing red:

"It's our family..."

At this point, Yang Genshuo had no choice but to yield to the changes, no matter how many plans he had.

"Let's hope this is a good thing for the Yang Family."

Thinking of the smiles of the two embracing in that world, Yang Genshuo could only smile helplessly too:

"At the very least, from what I can see now, it's a good thing."

The Yang Family has their first cultivator.

"Jiang Xiaobai's casting is quite forced, and his Spiritual Rain Skill isn't as effective as my Blessing, but the good thing is he can scrounge it up every day, saving me the scarce Incense Fire Value that I can then use to help Yang Shi fully apply the 'Blessing: Vitality.'"

Glancing at the Incense Fire Value, there's still 104 points.

"Is there a quick way to increase this Incense Fire Value? I can't afford to use it for daily buffs."

He looked over the introduction about Incense Fire Value.

"Infinitely useful, Incense Fire Value is the bond between you and your descendants; as your family grows, you will obtain more Incense Fire Value. (More marvelous uses will unlock as the family grows.)"

"Family growth? Family expansion?"

He filtered through the historical messages and found all the methods that increase Incense Fire Value.

He summed up the following categories:

"Faith, Wealth, Personnel, Military Power, Immortal Cultivation Technology Tree."

"All these five aspects have increased Incense Fire Value. Faith can only earn a little occasionally from Yang Shi, which isn't much, so I can fool around with that."

"As for wealth... the family's total assets increase gains Incense Fire Value."

He took a glance at the latest record.

"Received the first Low Grade Spirit Stone, Incense Fire Value +50."

Personnel is manageable, Hu Zi can take the rangers out to catch more slaves and add them to the estate, gradually accumulating.

As for military power, there's nothing to be done but wait for Yang Shi to slowly level up.

"The Immortal Cultivation Technology Tree is rather interesting... Just by doing something related to immortal cultivation for the first time triggers it, like farming, for example."

"The Yang Family planted a Spirit Field for the first time, Incense Fire Value +50."

"Harvesting Spirit Rice for the first time, Incense Fire Value +50."

All offer a substantial amount.

"It's like the achievement system in games."

With such a summary, Yang Genshuo had an idea.

"Develop, farm, earn Spirit Stones."

"If only I could find a few more Spirit Fields... "

Yang Genshuo really loved aerial farming.

This one-acre Spirit Field is simply not enough to play with.

"Maybe I can send Yang Shi out to look for it, there might be some undiscovered Spirit Fields after all?"

Under his entire 3D bird's-eye view, as long as the Spirit Field wasn't hidden in a cave, he would be able to see a faint blue light.

"Manifestation."

"Now that your strength has improved, you should travel outside the city more, and search for new Spirit Fields. A wisp of my soul attached to your body will sense any Spirit Fields within a 100 meters radius around you."

"Understood, great ancestor!"

After spending time together, Yang Shi felt the soul of this cultivator ancestor to be very kind, without a hint of arrogance, treating him as if he were his father, offering unconditional kindness.

Thinking of his father, the bloody scene from when he was six years old flashed through his mind, and he clenched his fist tightly.

"One day, I will make the Xiang Family pay for their blood debts with blood!"

Time acceleration.

"2 years, 189 days, Yang Shi led Hu Zi and 10 rangers at the Third Layer of Body Refining out of the city towards the rarely visited Tiger and Leopard Forest. They were attacked. Hu Zi used the Gale Blade Technique, killed 2 adult tigers, and gathered 12 precious herbs but found no Spirit Fields."

"2 years, 193 days, Yang Shi led another expedition to the Tiger and Leopard Forest, killed several wild beasts, and gathered 8 precious herbs, but no Spirit Fields were found."

"2 years, 200 days, Yang Shi set out again, was surrounded by ferocious beasts, the whole team was injured, and they barely escaped."

"2 years, 215 days, the Spirit Rice was completely dried, Jiang Xiaobai shelled it to obtain Spirit Rice, steamed it into rice, and both he and Yang Shi ate it, their bodies were nourished by the Spiritual Power."

"You use the 'Blessing: Vitality' on Yang Shi, his training speed has increased."

Time passed with Yang Shi's Body Refining and outings until the end of this year.

"2 years, 348 days, Yang Shi ventured deep into the Tiger and Leopard Forest and encountered a Fetal Breathing Stage Fifth Layer Flame Giant Tiger. Its fiery claws sprayed flames, turning anything they touched to ash. Yang Shi's team grappled with it for a long time, losing 3 rangers and all sustaining injuries. Eventually, with a surprise attack from an electric baton, they killed the Flame Giant Tiger with the Traceless Sword Technique."

"In the lair of the Flame Giant Tiger, Yang Shi found a sleeping tiger cub and a Magma Fruit Tree. The soil beneath the tree shimmered with faint light."

"Excellent! All the hard work has paid off, turned over half a year and finally found something good."
