Grandfather Enters the Way

"Excellent, with these resources, it's enough for me to cultivate for a while!"

After Shen Changchuan inventoried all his gains, a look of joy couldn't help but appear on his face.

"Moreover, with this True Explanation of Spells, it will solve the biggest problem I'm currently facing: a lack of methods!"

The problems encountered before, were easily resolved in the face of these gains.

Shen Changchuan's mood was excellent.

The path of cultivation ahead, wasn't exactly smooth sailing.

But at least it wouldn't be as difficult anymore.

For the road ahead, Shen Changchuan already had a general plan.

With about two months left until the autumn harvest, he planned to use this time, with the help of these numerous spirit stones, spirit pills, and spirit herbs, to quickly break through and advance his cultivation to the Qi Gathering Fifth Level.

If this were before, Shen Changchuan wouldn't have dared to have such an idea.

But after consuming the Azure Origin Water Grass, his own physical aptitude improved, and his Soul power also grew, coupled with sufficient cultivation resources, breaking through to the Qi Gathering Fifth Level in a short period was not entirely a pipe dream.

Having gone through this ordeal, Shen Changchuan was quite eager to improve his own strength and realm.

Beyond the improvement of his cultivation realm, Shen Changchuan also planned to, while cultivating in seclusion, practice the spells from the True Explanation of Spells as much as possible, to strengthen his combat abilities.

At the same time, he also wanted to see if having enough characteristics would bring about new changes.

With his mind made up, Shen Changchuan no longer wanted to stay in Zhao Family Village.

He prepared to return to Great Bay Village to cultivate in seclusion, but at this moment, he realized a new problem.

That was the issue of guarding Zhao Family Village!

Generally speaking, villages with spirit fields were basically guarded by cultivator forces.

This was very necessary, because mortals, even innate martial artists, had very little resistance against cultivators.

If there were no cultivators stationed there, not only might the approaching harvest season attract Yao Beast attacks, destroying the spirit grain, but those robber cultivators wandering outside wouldn't let such a good opportunity pass them by. They would definitely invade the village and harvest all the spirit grain from the spirit fields.

That would be a huge problem!

But the reality now was, Shen Changchuan did not have any cultivator under his command who could hold a position alone!

And he couldn't use a clone spell, which meant, once he returned to Great Bay Village, Zhao Family Village would have no one to guard it!

This undoubtedly caused Shen Changchuan a great deal of trouble.

"Troublesome!"

Shen Changchuan let out a long sigh.

He had been so happy about successfully taking over the property of Zhao Family Village's two mu of spirit fields that he had forgotten about the subsequent guarding and management.

This property could not be abandoned.

After much thought, Shen Changchuan finally came up with a less-than-ideal solution.

That was to have cultivators under his command!

And the target, was naturally his maternal grandfather, Han Qinhu, who had always been busy around him, helping him manage various trivial matters!

So Shen Changchuan summoned Han Qinhu, and explained the situation.

Han Qinhu was stunned for a moment, not expecting Shen Changchuan to suddenly propose such an idea.

After coming to his senses, his heart couldn't help but pound violently.

Immortal destiny, for mortals, the immortal destiny of embarking on the path of cultivation, which is difficult to achieve even with a lifetime of pursuit, was now right before him!

Having roamed the jianghu in his youth and experienced a certain event, Han Qinhu, who was even more devoted to cultivation, felt a tremendous impact on his mind at this moment.

Han Qinhu was a little dazed.

Back then, in Tiannan City, he had resolutely sold off most of his family fortune to follow his grandson to this outpost to guard the territory.

He had thought that by leveraging his relationship with his grandson, he might have a chance to embark on the path of cultivation.

But he never imagined that this dream day would arrive so quickly!

Han Qinhu's heart surged with emotion, and for a moment, he was speechless.

Shen Changchuan did not urge him, but quietly waited for his response.

After a long moment, Han Qinhu took several deep breaths, finally managing to suppress the turbulent emotions in his heart.

"Changchuan, I've thought it over carefully. I'm already old now. Even if I succeed in awakening my spirit and drawing in qi, this old body might not live much longer, and my achievements will be limited. This would be a complete waste of resources."

Han Qinhu's face showed a bitter expression. He opened his mouth and said in a hoarse voice.

"In that case, don't waste this opportunity."

"Let Da Yong do it. Last time, he told me that after taking the spirit ginseng whiskers you gave him, he felt a sense of impending breakthrough and had a premonition that he might succeed in drawing in qi."

"It won't be a waste if it's for him."

Reason ultimately made Han Qinhu suppress the thought of becoming a cultivator himself, wanting to leave the opportunity to Han Dayong.

"Grandpa, don't worry about Uncle. I was planning to send his share over as well."

Before he could finish speaking, Shen Changchuan flipped his palm and produced a jade bottle containing elixirs. Inside the bottle were two round pills, each about the size of a thumb.

"These two are Essence Pills, refined from spirit grain. They are normally used by cultivators in the early Qi Gathering stage to strengthen their foundation, nourish their essence, and refine their Magical Power."

"If a mortal martial artist takes one, it can greatly increase their vital essence, thus allowing them to draw qi into their body."

"Grandpa, one for you and one for Uncle should be enough for both of you to successfully step onto the path of cultivation."

Three days later, after taking the Essence Pills, both Han Qinhu and Han Dayong successfully drew in qi and advanced to the first level of Qi Gathering.

Afterward, Shen Changchuan gave them some pointers and left them with various cultivation experiences.

Not long after, Shen Changchuan prepared to leave.

Great Bay Village's twelve mu of spirit fields were much more important than Zhao Family Village's two mu of spirit fields.

Shen Changchuan could not stay away for too long.

However, before leaving, Shen Changchuan handed them the Mizong Liangyi Formation that he had confiscated from the Four Fiends of Heshan.

This formation had already been refined into formation disks and flags.

Even those who did not understand formations, could successfully set it up with its user-friendly operation.

This way, if there were any foreign enemies invading, the two of them could cooperate, unfold the formation, and it would be enough to hold out until Shen Changchuan could depart from Great Bay Village to provide support.

After making arrangements for Zhao Family Village, Shen Changchuan set off and returned to Great Bay Village.

Fortunately, during his absence, nothing unexpected had happened in Great Bay Village.

Everything developed smoothly.

Shen Changchuan also breathed a small sigh of relief.

Following that, he

briefly scanned the village's overall situation, confirmed there wouldn't be any problems, and then handed over the specific affairs to the exceptionally capable steward brought by Han Qinhu.

He himself entered the spirit spring secret chamber, began to go into seclusion, and diligently cultivated.

This seclusion

lasted for two months.
