Longevity Family: Let Her Live At The Beginning, Let Her Live

To be precise, there are a total of 116 people.

Among them, there are 97 people with first-grade spiritual roots, 12 people with second-grade spiritual roots, three people with third-grade spiritual roots, two people with fourth-grade spiritual roots, and two people with fifth-grade spiritual roots.

Having so many is already considered a great fortune. Evergreen Sect recruits thousands of cultivators every year, including over 900 with first-grade spiritual roots. Sometimes, there isn't even a single person with fourth-grade spiritual roots.

The rewards that come with it are also very generous. (Including grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and those large numbers of mortals.)

At first, Zhang Ran was worried that his aptitude was not enough to break through the mid-Core Formation stage. However, the system completely ignored the realm barrier, and he only needed to spend a little more time cultivating to break through.

Now he has reached the late-Core Formation stage, with a cultivation level of seven layers of Core Formation. Except for those Nascent Soul old monsters, Zhang Ran can now walk sideways in the six sects.

His formation master level is still at the fourth rank. During this period, he has gained eight hundred years of experience in formations, but he still remains at the fourth rank. Zhang Ran thinks this is normal. Fifth rank formation masters are rare in the entire southern region. It's definitely not easy to break through.

Both alchemy and talisman crafting have reached the fourth rank.

At the same time, he has gained another skill, artifact refining. His experience has increased to the third rank artifact refiner. The profession of artifact refiner is also scarce, and at the third rank, he can refine treasures. However, the effects of the refined treasures are uncertain.

He can refine high-grade and top-grade treasures, but the success rate is very low.

At the fourth rank artifact refiner, he can still only refine treasures, but the success rate is very high. Only when he reaches the fifth rank will he have the ability to refine Spiritual Weapons.

In terms of Dao techniques,

He was rewarded with a third rank Dao technique, Meteor Flame.

In addition, there is a technique in his divine soul, a high-grade profound level technique called Thousand Manifestations Art. This divine soul technique is divided into six layers in total. When the system gave it to him, it was already at the perfect first layer. Zhang Ran's divine soul power has increased by more than 20%.

The second layer requires the experience gained from having children. For example, he can convert the hundred years of cultivation experience from the reward into experience for this technique. Zhang Ran immediately spent three hundred years of experience to convert it.

Thousand Manifestations Art directly reached the fifth layer. Zhang Ran estimates that he can only break through to the final layer after the Nascent Soul stage. Even so, Zhang Ran's divine soul power is now at least three times stronger than before.

At the first layer of Core Formation, his divine soul range was about twenty li. At the seventh layer of Core Formation, it was a hundred li. Now it has directly expanded to a range of four hundred li. If he reaches the perfect stage of Core Formation,

Zhang Ran's divine soul power is likely to reach a range of seven hundred li, while the lowest range of divine soul power for Nascent Soul cultivators is a thousand li.

It can be seen that Zhang Ran's improvement in divine soul power is extremely terrifying.

Especially after having a hundred children, there is an additional reward (a middle-grade Earth-ranked Body Refining technique, the "Godly Refinement Technique"). After receiving this Body Refining technique, Zhang Ran's body made a crackling sound, and his strength and defense were greatly enhanced.

He swung a sword with force on his leg, and the three-inch deep wound visibly healed.

"Now the only weakness is my technique. Although a high-grade profound level technique is good here, it can only be considered average in the entire southern region."

Zhang Ran raised his hand and a golden brick appeared.

This is a middle-grade treasure awarded by the system, the Golden Brick. It doesn't have any special features, it's just hard, fast, and deals great damage. Just throw it out and it can destroy a mountain.

Zhang Ran really loves this simple and straightforward treasure.

Just then, Zhang Ran sensed a breathtaking aura coming from afar, rushing towards the Zhang family at high speed.

"What a rare guest. Why is she here?"

Zhang Ran immediately flashed and appeared fifty li away from the Zhang family.

From a distance, he saw a flash of light appearing in front of him in an instant.

Zhang Ran said loudly, "Peak Master, the sun still rises from the east today. Why did you suddenly come to me?"

Yu Yan glanced at Zhang Ran and found that the other party had become much stronger. The most obvious change was in their cultivation level, which was now on par with her, both at the late-Core Formation stage. As for the specific number of layers, she didn't know. The most important thing was that she wasn't confident she could win anymore.

Surprised, she asked, "Zhang Ran, you've broken through again?"

"Peak Master has sharp eyes. I just broke through today."

"You really are a genius who cultivates in reverse." Yu Yan's already large eyes widened even more. Zhang Ran's cultivation speed, no matter where it was placed, was extraordinary.

"Peak Master, are you praising me or criticizing me?" Zhang Ran touched his nose.

Yu Yan recovered from her shock, looked at the Zhang family fifty li away, and said in a displeased tone, "Do you think I don't know about your affairs? Several of my disciples from Little Rain Peak have been impregnated by you. Do you think I'm unaware? And you're blocking me from going over there, huh."

Those disciples on Little Rain Peak were like her children. Except for that Lin Youming who had ill intentions, he had now known better and went to another peak. These children were all infatuated with Zhang Ran, and she couldn't be happy about it.

Zhang Ran awkwardly rubbed his head, "Master, so you already knew, but we both have mutual feelings."

Zhang Ran's eyes were sincere, as if he really meant it.

Yu Yan didn't come today for this matter, but still wanted to tease Zhang Ran a bit. With a warm expression, he said, "Tell me, you've turned several of my disciples into women. Even Li Qin was affected by you. This matter can't be left like this."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ran thought, "Isn't he looking for some benefits? I don't have much else, but I have plenty of elixirs. I've made a fortune from alchemy in the past fifteen years, much more than from talisman making."

Immediately, he generously took out a Broken Realm Pill and said, "Master, this is a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it."

"Huh?"

Yu Yan looked unexpectedly at the Broken Realm Pill that Zhang Ran handed over. He wasn't actually surprised, considering Zhang Ran was an alchemist and quite wealthy. He casually accepted the pill, which he couldn't bear to buy himself.

"Since you're showing such sincerity, I'll let it go. But if you mistreat them, I will definitely cut off your... life." Yu Yan's sharp gaze drifted towards Zhang Ran's legs.

"Master, rest assured, I will treat them well," Zhang Ran involuntarily tightened his legs, feeling a chill.

"Are you planning to just block me here? Not letting me visit your Zhang family?" Yu Yan said impatiently.

Zhang Ran chuckled and quickly said, "Go, go, of course I will entertain you well."

Zhang Family

Fifth Senior Sister, Third Senior Sister, and Eleventh Senior Sister all had expressions of embarrassment mixed with anger and various uncomfortable emotions swirling in their hearts.

At this moment, Yu Yan stood in front of the three of them, his gaze sweeping over them. The three senior sisters unconsciously lowered their heads.

Yu Yan noticed that the cultivation of these three women had improved significantly. Fifth Senior Sister had reached the ninth level of Foundation Building, Third Senior Sister was at the tenth level, preparing for Core Formation, and even Eleventh Senior Sister, Gu Yunxiang, had reached the sixth level of Foundation Building.

Unable to help himself, he praised, "Not bad, your cultivation has grown faster than on Little Rain Peak. It seems like you haven't spared any benefits for them."

Zhang Ran modestly bowed his hand and said, "Isn't this what a man should do?"

"Don't give me this nonsense. Don't you find it embarrassing to say that? These young girls are easy to deceive, but I'm not so easily fooled," Yu Yan coldly snorted.

"Master," Third Senior Sister softly called out, but was interrupted by Yu Yan.

"Alright, all of you, you've been staying here with Zhang Ran and not going to Little Rain Peak. There are hardly any people left on the mountain," Yu Yan said, then waved his hand and closed the door. "All of you can leave now. Zhang Elder and I have something to discuss."

After the few of them left, Yu Yan waved his hand and closed the door.

"Elder Zhang, I came here this time to inform you to go to Primal Dao Sect. You need to attend the Six Sects Conference there. The number of demons and monsters is increasing, and we must make the necessary decisions. I'm sure you already know the real reason behind it, so I won't say much."

Most of the Core Formation cultivators have gone, so it was only natural for Zhang Ran to be called as well.

Zhang Ran replied, "I see. So, Peak Master specially informed me to go from Evergreen Sect to Primal Dao Sect. It just happens to be on the way."

Yu Yan noticed the formidable array in Zhang's family.

"Hmm, your third-grade array formation is indeed impressive. After I entered, I sensed an even stronger fluctuation. Are you setting up a fourth-grade array?"

"It's not complete yet, just in the preliminary testing phase," Zhang Ran's Six Realms and Eight Wildernesses Array still lacked fourth-grade demonic beast inner cores, so it hadn't been completed. Only the other components were ready.

Yu Yan seemed surprised but accustomed to it, and said indifferently, "I wonder how you cultivate. Your array formations and alchemy skills are so impressive. Could it be that having children and getting married really increases cultivation?"

Yu Yan continued, "Primal Dao Sect is far from here. Let's leave immediately."

This was an important matter that Zhang Ran couldn't miss, so he immediately left with Yu Yan. Two rays of light departed from Zhang's family and disappeared into the sky, leaving the women looking up at the disappearing beams.

Eleventh Senior Sister said leisurely, "It seems like things are not peaceful."

"Focus on cultivating. The more strength we have, the safer we'll be."

"Mm."

At this moment, a middle-aged man in his fifties led a girl over. The girl was holding a fox in her hand and excitedly said, "Mom, Brother Zhang Fei took me hunting today and we caught a first-grade fox. Look, isn't it amazing?" She raised the fox in her hand high, seemingly showing off.
