Chapter 429 of "Spiritual Energy Rejuvenation: I Began Cultivating By Farming" starts revealing surprises: As for the spicy meat, he only tasted a couple of bites before he stopped... Read on!
As for the spicy meat, he only tasted a couple of bites before he stopped eating.
Originally, Luo Yaxuan wanted to go back to his room to rest, but he couldnât decline his brothersâ enthusiastic invitation, so he ended up drinking with them from midnight almost until the crowing of the rooster.
Normally, such collective sounds wouldnât emerge from the Noble Clan, but the clan also needed to purchase fresh vegetables, chickens, ducks, geese, and so on.
People would specially deliver them to the mansion before dawn, and the cooks who prepared breakfast would start their preparations long before daybreak, to prepare fresh and rich breakfasts for the masters.
Among those appointed in their Noble Clan were various artisans who belonged to the clan but either lacked a Spiritual Root or simply had low Cultivation.
To resolve their basic life necessities, they had to learn a craft and work as laborers within the clan, which was also considered a kind of task.
As long as one contributed to the clan, regardless of whether you were in a profession or just a laborer, you would receive some compensation.
Bi Renchuan and Fan Dingding had initially been very active in urging Luo Yaxuan to drink more, but upon hearing the crowing of the roosters, they exchanged glances and understandingly waved their hands at Luo Yaxuan, saying:
âLuo Yaxuan, keep drinking at your leisure, we wonât keep you company any longer, we need to prepare some materials outside.â
These Cultivation practitioners would use their Spiritual Power to force out the alcohol they drank, which was frankly a waste.
Seeing the two of them rushing out in a flurry, Luo Yaxuan didnât clarify with them that the family had already assigned chefs for this task of constructing the Saint Sect.
However, their preparation of their favorite seasonings was also good, especially since construction was taking place at two locations simultaneously, and this time several clans were jointly helping.
With so many people involved, it might not be possible to attend to everyoneâs needs.
Luo Yaxuan hadnât gone back to his room yet when he received a summons from his master, so he went to his masterâs guestroom.
Considering that their family of three needed space, they had been provided with a suite with a living room in a courtyard.
Usually, guests wouldnât be allowed to casually stay there.
This was the largest and most luxurious residence for Luo Yaxuanâs family and certainly not a place where other clan members lived.
The Family Headâs dwelling naturally couldnât be compared with that of others.
This was also a reflection of the various statuses and corresponding treatments within each Noble Clan.
All of these were built by the clan.
About a thousand or so somewhat prominent disciples and stewards of the clan lived in the most central residential area.
This was undoubtedly a first-rate family.
Apart from the Spirit Stone Mine, they had other businesses for countless millennia and also had a medicine garden to supply materials for Alchemists to make Pills to sell.
They also crafted Spirit Talismans and Formation items.
Their clan had people specialized in these areas, but some of the Top Ten Clans or Great Immortal Sects looked down upon the items they sold.
There are levels of prestige everywhere.
While they might be a first-rate family in Immortal Lord City, appearing quite powerful, they were relatively weaker outside of it.
This time, Luo Yaxuan realized the power of the Top Ten Clans; his peers had already reached the Nascent Soul Stage.
While he also consumed Supreme Elixirs, others surged ahead to the Ocean Wheel Stage, and though of the same age, he could only advance to the Golden Core Stage.
This highlighted the different foundations and Cultivation characteristics of each family.
Especially some ancient families, they may still retain some Immortal Secrets Manuals left by their ancestors 10,000 years ago, as well as resources passed down.
The Luo Family also had Immortal Secrets Manuals left by ancestors from a million years ago, but, regrettably, many families had declined in the Cultivation domain, surviving through business to maintain the familyâs prosperity.
They hadnât managed to break the cycle of each generation becoming weaker than the last, with many years passing and no one achieving Ascension, leading some of the older members to simply wither away.
Everyone was unwilling to practice Cultivation so strenuously only to desire Longevity and end up as vanishing smoke, unable to reincarnate.
Since the emergence of Supreme Elixirs, many had renewed hope for Ascension, seeking shortcuts to quickly enhance their Cultivation.
Ascension wasnât absolutely impossibleâtake for instance an exceptional Alchemist who somehow, through some stroke of fortune, advanced from the Artifact Refining stage to the Mahayana Realm in just a few short months.
Others might never harbor such hope in their lifetime.
Some elders in large Cultivation Sects who had reached the Mahayana Realm were already over a thousand years old, while here was a young man who had attained the Mahayana Realm.
The people in the Luo Family who knew of Jiang Tangâs Cultivation level didnât spread this important news.
Some who knew that Jiang Tang was at the Ocean Wheel stage just a month prior found it difficult to believe.
Word had gotten out that some elite disciples of the Ten Great Clans had also risen to the Ocean Wheel stage after consuming Supreme Elixirs.
If others could enhance their Cultivation so swiftly after consuming a Supreme Elixir, what about the person who produced them?
Without referring to the mystery of the personâs ability to refine Supreme Elixirs and the enigma of the ingredients used, lacking resources to quickly improve Cultivation was just as puzzling.
The people of the Ten Great Clans had also inquired about and received Jiang Tang.
But what they talked about and what kind of benefits they gained, ordinary people would not know.
It was only known that these people all offered their familyâs elite girls, nearly all using beautiful women as a ploy to provide the alchemist with women at his side.
Though the tales in the Martial World were flamboyant, no one accused the people of the Ten Great Clans of being unprincipled in doing so.
Rather, they were considered too cunning, with each family having not a thousand female members then surely several hundred, among whom many were beautiful.
Sacrificing one for the rise of the entire family was seen as a worthwhile trade.
It wasnât to say they were at a loss, it might be that they had actually gained an advantage, it wasnât about selling daughters for glory.
In the current era, especially for those with talents, people, whether men or women, would involuntarily and actively gather around them.
Luo Yaxuan arrived at his masterâs residence just as the sky was beginning to brighten.
When he entered the courtyard, both the living room and the other rooms were lit.
He then entered the living room, and his light footsteps still drew the attention of the people sitting there.
The entire family of his master was present; the three of them were sitting down.
Liu Jiaojiao got up from her seat, took two steps forward, and smiled as she took hold of Luo Yaxuanâs hand, not caring that her parents were watching, her actions bold.
Luo Yaxuanâs face turned slightly red when his junior sister took his hand, as there were many eyes on them last night, albeit in the dark.
Now, with her parents and master looking on with a smile that wasnât quite a smile, he felt a little uncomfortable.
Liu Jiaojiao didnât care about that, as how could she secure such an outstanding senior brother without being a bit bold?
âYouâre here, have a seat!â
Liu Yong, seeing his daughter taking such initiative, felt a bit jealous as a father, but a true man shouldnât bother with such trivial matters.
He was thick-skinned back in the day, which is how he won over his current wife.
His wife sometimes told their daughter about how they had the chance to have a second child back in the day.
However, they preferred to pour all their love into this daughter.
Given their circumstances at the time, and the desire to persist in cultivation, they didnât have the capacity to be distracted by another child.
Liu Yong also doted on his wife and daughter a lot and didnât think that girls were incapable of carrying on the legacy.
Just like now, his daughter, though young, knew how to capture a fine manâs heart.
Not one to let the person she liked be snatched by someone else, she firmly grasped the opportunity.
No sooner had they sat down than Sun Ziâan brought in breakfast from the outside, using ingredients taken from the Luo Familyâs kitchen but turned into something especially delicious through his skilled hands.
âHeir, I wasnât sure what you wanted for breakfast today, so I made a bit extra,â said Sun Ziâan, who had switched from calling him âmasterâ to âheir,â remaining a cook by trade and enjoying it.
As long as he could stay by Luo Yaxuanâs side, he was willing to use his culinary skills to make tasty food, not neglecting both his cultivation and his cooking.
âHmm, no outsiders, come and sit down to eat,â replied Luo Yaxuan, who never treated Sun Ziâan as a servant, considering him more like a brother.
Having him around meant not only enjoying delicious food but also feeling at ease eating the food he made.
âYaxuan, I heard from my daughter that weâre going on a mission together today, is that correct?â Luo Yong couldnât help but ask first; upon hearing the news that night, neither he nor his wife could sleep.
While their daughter was strolling with Luo Yaxuan in the Luo Familyâs garden and hadnât yet returned, the couple sat meditating in the living room, not sleeping.
