Cultivation Starts with Rejuvenation-Chapter 226 - 100: Retracing the Path (Part 3)

After all, he has already expressed his unwillingness to join the Yan Family and is an outsider, yet they still provide him a cultivation Dao Field and allow him to cultivate within the clan. Especially, Yan Qingwan, Yan Kongyi, and Yan Hongsheng's obvious favoritism towards him does not align with the family's interests.

Yan Xiao's parents were originally dissenters.

"Shut up!" The Ancestor was instantly apprehensive.

However, Yan Xiao smiled and shook his head, "Ancestor, the reason our Yan Family has reached today is also because of the hard work and dedication within the clan. Moreover, I firmly believe that one must rely on oneself, strength is foundational above all. When I ascend to the middle stage or even the late period of Foundation Establishment, the Yan Family's position will be even more secure."

After speaking, Yan Xiao no longer wished to argue further and hastened away.

Regarding Yan Xiao's thoughts, Li Ji'an was unaware and had never cared about others' opinions.

Once Yan Qingwan's birthday celebration concluded, he took his leave.

Afterwards, he and Zhang Tiezhu arrived at the Mortal Area where he first entered this place in his previous life.

Now that the situation in the Desert has stabilized, the Mortal Area has once again become prosperous.

Additionally, due to an increase in Tribulation Cultivators outside, the number of mortals here surpasses what it was back then.

"Xiaofan, it may take a few more days for Senior Red Stone to get here," Zhang Tiezhu said to Li Ji'an after receiving the latest message.

"No matter, we'll wait here for a bit," Li Ji'an waved his hand, unconcerned.

Afterwards, Zhang Tiezhu and Li Ji'an strolled casually in the Mortal Area.

"Xiaofan, did Brother Li ever tell you that the five of us entered this place from here back then?" Zhang Tiezhu stood at the entrance of the gathering place and said to Li Ji'an.

"This is the road we took to get here!"

Li Ji'an didn't reply. Zhang Tiezhu continued to walk forward, recounting the past, vividly remembering everything.

Eventually, they reached the former residence of Chen Zhaohu.

However, it is now inhabited by a family of five.

Glancing back unintentionally, Zhang Tiezhu caught a glimpse of Li Ji'an's profile, as if seeing Brother Li from back then.

"Ah! This damn dream of seeking Immortality!"

Returning to his senses, feeling his withered state, Zhang Tiezhu sighed deeply.

Li Ji'an extended a hand to channel Wood Magic Power into him, calming his mind.

Afterwards, unwilling for him to dwell on past memories, Li Ji'an found an inn with Zhang Tiezhu to stay at.

Then, using magical power, he broadcast a message throughout the town, offering to repair Spirit Veins for children, enhancing their Spirit Root.

A Foundation Establishment Ancestor-level expert personally repairing Spirit Veins, while only charging one tael of Spiritual Sand per person, immediately drew in half of the children in the gathering area.

Nourishing the Dantian with Wood Magic Power, prompting a secondary development of the Spirit Veins that had been delayed; this method was taught to Li Ji'an by Doctor Bai.

And coincidentally, Guo Qi's medical skills include techniques for benefiting Spirit Veins.

Combining the two, Li Ji'an now had a novel approach.

Activating with Wood Spiritual Qi, then continuously applying the Nourishing Vein Pill which contains healing efficacy, theoretically achieves a similar effect as Doctor Bai's daily care method.

However, whether it will succeed, how long the effect will last, and whether it will cause dependency issues needs further practice.

Ultimately, Li Ji'an selected ten children aged eight to ten.

It wasn't that he didn't want more test subjects, it was mainly because the cost of the Nourishing Vein Pills was not low, and the required quantity was high, beyond his financial capacity.

Among the ten children, five were initially born in Spirit Vein Land, initially nurtured by Spiritual Qi. But later, due to parental mishaps or being unable to afford living in the Market, they had to move to the Mortal Area, and thereafter, their Spirit Veins lacked Spiritual Qi nourishment.

Li Ji'an sensed their Dantian origin and could feel the poorly developed Spirit Veins.

The other five children were always born in the Mortal Area, never having been nurtured by Spiritual Qi, with their Spirit Vein development almost at a standstill.

Recording the initial state of the ten children in a Jade Talisman, he then activated their Spirit Veins with Wood Spiritual Qi, distributing Nourishing Vein Pills for immediate consumption, closely observing the effect of the pills within each body.

Before leaving, he distributed Spirit Supplement Pills to each child, providing Spiritual Qi nourishment.

"Xiaofan, can even Spirit Roots that have poorly developed due to lack of Spiritual Qi be repaired?" As the crowd dispersed, Zhang Tiezhu excitedly asked Li Ji'an.

Back then, didn't they stumble in the Cultivation Realm precisely because of this?

And the offspring of their five people each proven that their extraordinary talent in the Immortal Dynasty wasn't inferior, and all because they stayed too long in the Absolute Spirit Land without Spiritual Qi nurturing, resulting in underdeveloped Spirit Roots.

If such methods had existed to help them repair their underdeveloped Spirit Roots, how different their lives could have been. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Seeing Zhang Tiezhu's thoughts, Li Ji'an helplessly shook his head, "Uncle Zhang, this method is temporarily only useful for those whose Spirit Roots haven't fully formed."

Zhang Tiezhu was stunned, then chuckled wryly.

So what if it could?

He was already old and frail, unable to rejuvenate.

For the next half month, Li Ji'an checked the Spirit Roots of the ten children daily.

It was only when Red Stone Wanderer arrived that Li Ji'an entrusted Zhang Tiezhu to take the ten children into the Market, rent a courtyard, and follow the requirement of taking Nourishing Vein Pills so he could check on them sporadically.

Upon meeting Red Stone Wanderer again, Li Ji'an couldn't help but pause.

"What business brings you to seek this old soul?"

Seeing the unfamiliar expression on Red Stone Wanderer's face, Li Ji'an discreetly activated the rattle with his mind.

"Do you truly not recognize me?"

Red Stone Wanderer shook his head, "Forgive me, I seem to have lost some memories and truly do not remember."

The rattle remained silent.

"Do you remember Chen Qingling?"

Red Stone Wanderer shook his head again.

The rattle still did not sound.

"Do you remember when you lost your memory?"

Red Stone Wanderer furrowed his brow, "Thirteen years ago, I suddenly woke up and just forgot the past."

The rattle still did not sound.

Thirteen years ago was exactly when Li Ji'an and Red Stone Wanderer met and together entered the Fallen Dragon Ridge Mountains to capture the Golden Armored Beast, and when Red Stone Wanderer ultimately ventured into the Yin Sha Cave.
