Time flew, and another half a year passed in the blink of an eye.
The weather turned cold. It was already winter, and there was a slight chill on Scarlet Flame Island.
Qin Di brought his grandfather and third uncle back to the capital of Yue Country on the Sky-Reaching Ship.
More than ten years had passed since they last met. Qin Di was already 57 years old, and he had been in Jindan Sect for 43 years.
When Qin Gaolan left, he was in the fourth layer of Qi Refining. Seven years ago, he advanced to the sixth layer, and now he was in the early stage of the eighth layer. He looked like he was only 40 years old, much younger than when he left.
Third uncle Qin Guangyuan's cultivation was one layer higher, and he was in the early stage of the ninth layer. His appearance had also changed a lot.
Qin Di didn't want to shock the world, so he used a spell and led the two into the inner house.
When the direct descendants of the Qin Family were summoned, they looked at each other in dismay, not daring to recognize him at first.
Later, they all came forward to salute and exclaimed. Rejuvenation was a legendary thing, and they didn't expect to see it for real this time. For a moment, everyone yearned for cultivation.
Facing these core descendants of the Qin Family, Qin Di didn't hide his identity anymore. Since the old man could show himself, there was no need for him to be a junior.
Even so, the old man still warned them not to spread the news to the outside world, so as to avoid an unexpected disaster.
After all, Qin Di still had a strong enemy like the Yin Ghost Sect. Any Foundation Establishment cultivator could wipe out the entire Qin Family.
Then, everyone talked about what happened after they parted.
The Qin Family was full of talents. The older generation gradually retired, but new people kept coming in, holding important positions in Yue Country.
Qin Di's father, Qin Guangling, was the pillar of the Qin Family. He was promoted from the minister of the Ministry of Rites to a cabinet elder, and he also had the title of the crown prince's tutor. He was one of the top figures in Yue Country besides the royal family. Unfortunately, he was busy and delayed his cultivation, so he was only in the fifth layer of Qi Refining. There was a big gap between him and Third Uncle Qin Guangyuan.
When Qin Di left last time, he had passed down wood element cultivation methods to the Qin Family, so when he came back, he found that many people had cultivated to the first or second layer of Qi Refining. Unfortunately, the Spiritual Energy in Yue Country was thin. It was not easy to raise one's cultivation. Even so, even if these people did not go to the Golden Pill Sect in the future, they would still be able to live a long life without disasters or illnesses.
Qin Di discussed with the Old Master and decided to make some changes to the Qin Mansion.
From now on, the descendants of the Qin Clan would have their Spirit Roots tested at birth. They would no longer be blindly studying and taking part in the imperial examinations. Instead, they would place equal emphasis on both literature and martial arts. Those with good Spirit Roots could enter the Golden Elixir Sect and focus on cultivating. Those with poor Spirit Roots could stay at home and study. In addition to studying, they could also practice martial arts to strengthen their bodies and prolong their lives.
Qin Di had placed a wood-type grotto-heaven in the back garden of Qin Manor. From the outside, it was only as big as a house, but after entering, it was a world that was thousands of miles wide. Inside, there were two large wood-type veins and many spirit grasses and spirit trees. It was enough for the descendants of Qin Manor to cultivate.
After that, he set up a small transportation formation at the side of the Paradise, connecting it with the transportation formation on Heavenly Star Island.
After that, he took out a Rank 9 formation plate and set up a formation, covering the entire back garden.
Logically speaking, if the Rank 9 formation was extended, it could cover an area of a few hundred miles. However, the back garden of Qin Manor was only a few hectares in size. Hence, even if the formation was running at all times, it would not require a lot of Spirit Stones.
Even so, Qin Di still took out a small Spirit Vein from the Paradise and buried it in the back garden to be the driving force for the Rank 9 formation. This way, he did not need to manually fill the formation with Spirit Stones.
When everything was ready, Qin Di invited his father Qin Guangling, grandfather Qin Gaolan, and third uncle Qin Guangyuan over. He explained his arrangements clearly and took out ten tokens for entering and exiting the formation. He gave them to his father Qin Guangling and told him that from now on, the back garden would be the biggest secret of Qin Manor. These tokens could only be placed in the hands of the Qin Clan's Clan Head. Every time he used them, he had to take them back. Without the tokens, no one could enter the back garden. When someone in Qin Manor cultivated to the fifth layer of Qi Refinement and was willing to go out, they could use the transportation formation to enter Heavenly Star Island and then enter the Golden Pill Sect to continue cultivating.
The three of them entered the Paradise under Qin Di's lead. When they saw the vast and boundless world, they were all stunned.
The old man grabbed Qin Di's shoulder and exclaimed, "Oh my god, with this world, Qin Clan will have an independent country. From then on, we will not have to worry about food or clothing, and we will not be afraid of being invaded by others."
Qin Di smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't take out the Paradise to find a Peach Blossom Land for Qin Clan."
The old man asked, "What Peach Blossom Land?"
Qin Di had to tell him about Tao Yuanming's Peach Blossom Land. He said that it was a biography he read in the sect's library. In the end, he said, "The existence of this Paradise does give Qin Clan a way out, but we Qin Clan do not need to hide. Being proactive is the right attitude."
The old man nodded. "You're right."
His father, Qin Guangling, had never been to the Golden Pill Sect, so he had never seen such an immortal technique. Therefore, everything he saw was new. He grabbed hold of Qin Di and asked him many questions. For example, how could there be a Paradise? Why did it look so small on the outside but so big on the inside?
Qin Di could barely explain because he was only at the Foundation Establishment Realm. He was still far from the Step Void Realm. Even at the Step Void Realm, he couldn't form a Paradise World. He had to become a Step Void Realm Perfected Lord to be able to do so.
"The human body is a world. Look at my stomach. Since I reached the Foundation Establishment Realm, I have opened up a Purple Mansion space of ten thousand zhang in size. As the saying goes, one flower, one world, one leaf, one universe. This is what it means. "
Qin Guangling looked at his stomach and could only shake his head gently. "It seems like we can't figure it out until we reach this step. I plan to retire in another ten years and focus on cultivation. I hope it's not too late. "
The old man said, "What's late? Look at me. I only started cultivating when I was a hundred years old. Now, I'm already at the eighth stage of the Qi Refinement Realm. I'll probably reach the late stage of the Qi Refinement Realm in another twenty to thirty years. "
Qin Guangling also felt strange. "Father, why do you look younger and younger?"
The old man pouted. "You have to ask your son. He gave me three jars of wine. I don't know what's in them, but I look younger after drinking them!"
Qin Di hurriedly took out three more jars and said, "Father, I've already prepared them for you. This kind of mulberry wine is too strong. You can only drink one cup at a time. "
Qin Guangling asked, "Can your mother drink it?"
Qin Di said, "Yes, but it has to be diluted ten times. Then, she can drink one cup a day. After a long time, her life will naturally be extended. "
The old man couldn't help but ask, "What's in it? Can you tell me the recipe? "
Qin Di smiled. "The most important spiritual medicine is the mulberry seeds of the Fusang Divine Tree. Eating one can extend one's life by five hundred years!"
When the three of them heard this, they couldn't help but be shocked.
"Fusang Divine Tree? Where did you see it? "
Qin Di roughly told them about his experience in the Dead Sea. In the end, he had to remind them, "I have a special physique. That's why I can go deep into the Dead Sea. You guys shouldn't go there. It's very dangerous."
The old man said, "I know. A few days ago, Shen Yunyi brought us into the Dead Sea. We only went about ten miles deep into the Dead Sea when I felt uncomfortable all over. It was cold, painful, and itchy. It was like being bitten by a group of ants in winter."
Third Uncle Qin Guangyuan asked, "Can one mulberry really extend one's life by five hundred years?"
Qin Di said, "If you can meditate on the Island of Life for three days after eating the mulberry, you can even extend your life by ten thousand years!"
When he heard this, Qin Guangyuan's eyes widened. He kept repeating, "Extend one's life by ten thousand years? Extend one's life by ten thousand years? How is that possible? You meditated there for three days? "
Qin Di nodded.
"Then you extended your life by ten thousand years?"
Qin Di smiled. "I don't know. I just feel like my body is full of vitality. Even if I cut off a finger and threw it on the ground for ten thousand years, it wouldn't rot."
"This … this is too scary!"
Father Qin Guangling asked, "How many mulberry seeds did you get? Did you make them into wine? "
Qin Di answered, "The power of the mulberry seeds is too strong. Even I almost lost my life. You guys don't have enough power to swallow them directly. So, I crushed them and mixed them into wine. One mulberry seed was mixed into three jars of wine. Unfortunately, I didn't get a lot of mulberry seeds. I couldn't give everyone in the Qin Clan a jar. I still have a few jars left. I'll give them to you in a few days. If each person drinks three jars, they can extend their life by five hundred years. "
Qin Guangling waved his hand. "These three jars are enough! Your mother and I will share them. One person's life will be extended by more than two hundred years. In addition to the Longevity Pill that can extend one's life by a hundred years, one will be able to live for three to four hundred years. That means one can live for three to four hundred years. If you can't build your foundation in three hundred years, then it's time for you to accept your fate. "
Qin Di didn't say much. He planned to take them out in a few years. If he took out too many at once, they wouldn't be as rare and might fall into the hands of others.
He stayed in the Qin Clan for three months. He reduced the time he spent cultivating by half. Every day, he chatted with his parents and chatted with his clan members.
His mother had nothing to worry about except one thing. Qin Di was already in his fifties, but he still hadn't gotten married! She didn't know if she would be able to see Qin Di get married in her lifetime. However, she couldn't feel at ease if she didn't. This was a regret that she couldn't get rid of.
Qin Di wasn't against women. As a person who had lived two lives, he felt that his heart had experienced many vicissitudes. His feelings towards women were more of admiration than possessiveness. Cultivation was a long and lonely thing. If he could have someone to accompany him, it would be simple and warm. It wasn't a bad thing.
However, until today, he hadn't found the feeling of mutual affinity. He didn't put in the effort to find it.
Since he was on the path to immortality, he still had a long way to go.
The path to immortality was long. It was better to let nature take its course.
