Fu Changsheng looked at Fairy Lady Cai.

Fairy Lady Cai was quite straightforward:

"As long as Fellow Daoist Gan doesn't mind my past marriage, I would be willing."

She had spent half her life with Chen Dazhu, a man she considered quite feeble, and it was rare to meet someone with such a shared interest. If they could spend their remaining lives together, it would be the best outcome.

Upon hearing this.

Gan Shenglin's face showed a hint of blush.

In truth.

The elder had been urging him to marry and continue the family line, but he had already taken a liking to Fairy Lady Cai, so he hesitated to express his intentions. Now, seeing Fairy Lady Cai open to the idea, he was delighted and deeply moved that she didn't look down on him for being considered a nobody, and quickly cupped his hands, saying:

"Patriarch, I wish to propose to Master Cai, and I hope the Patriarch will assent."

When lovers become companions.

How wonderful!

Fu Changsheng immediately took charge of their union and after hosting the wedding, called Gan Shenglin to the secret chamber.

Gan Shenglin was somewhat anxious, being summoned secretly by the Patriarch for the first time. His mind raced, unsure of why he was being summoned.

Once seated.

Fu Changsheng handed him a cup of Five-pointed Tea.

Gan Shenglin tried a sip, unable to discern its flavor, his mind entirely elsewhere as he asked with some apprehension:

"Patriarch, may I ask what instructions you have?"

After Gan Shenglin joined the Fu Family, he not only handed over the secret manual of his ancestral Spirit Plant Technique but also diligently researched with Fairy Lady Cai on how to cultivate spirit plants. However, lacking mana in his body, many things became inconvenient, impeding the research progress.

Nevertheless.

His loyalty to the Fu Family was genuine.

Fu Changsheng considered this, and with a pat of the storage bag, a brand new book floated towards Gan Shenglin:

"This is the 'Dragon Elephant Wisdom Skill', an Earth-Tier Technique. Even if your dantian is destroyed, you can still cultivate, though it's somewhat akin to a body cultivation route. This contains the cultivation technique for the first three layers of Qi Cultivation. Take it and ponder it carefully, but remember, this technique must not be transmitted to others, not even to your bedmate or father, lest you be treated as a traitor to the clan. Do you understand?"

Dragon Elephant Wisdom Skill?

Earth-Tier Technique!

He can still re-embark on the cultivation path?!

A series of information flooded Gan Shenglin momentarily, and it took him a while to regain composure. Rising from his seat, he knelt before Fu Changsheng, moved to tears:

"Patriarch, you are like a parent reborn to me. From now on, no matter the Patriarch's command, even if it involves climbing blades or diving into flames, Shenglin will not frown at all!!"

This is an Earth-Tier Technique!

Even a prominent noble family might not possess this.

Even if they did.

How would a noble family share it with an outsider?

Clearly, the Patriarch viewed him as a genuine member of the Fu Family.

Gan Shenglin was deeply touched and immediately swore a blood oath, ensuring he wouldn't leak any information, and promised that the 'Dragon Elephant Wisdom Skill' would remain confined within the Supreme Profound Peak and not be taken home.

Fu Changsheng gave one more admonition.

In the end.

He suddenly remembered and asked:

"By the way, Shenglin, what is your Spiritual Root talent?"

"Reporting to the Patriarch, I possess Three Spiritual Roots."

Fu Changsheng nodded slightly.

With Three Spiritual Roots talent, starting cultivation now, if everything goes smoothly, there is still hope to break through to Foundation Establishment before life's end.

Fu Changsheng encouraged him with a few words.

Then allowed Gan Shenglin to leave the secret chamber and activated the array.

In his mind, a familiar mechanical voice rang out again:

"Ding, you have received recognition from a Tier Two Spirit Plant Master, gaining twenty Clan Contribution Points."

Simultaneously.

The contribution points on the panel updated to two thousand one hundred and twenty:

"It's time to cultivate."

Fu Changsheng, with a thought, immediately opened the [Training Room].

The [Training Room], as always, calmed his slightly restless mind instantly upon entry. Sitting on the mat, Fu Changsheng began to operate the 'Cyan Emperor Longevity Technique'.

After circulating True Essence throughout the body for a grand cycle.

A breath of stale air was exhaled from his body.

Once his mind was adjusted.

He opened his mouth to swallow a Tier Two Middle-Grade Yuan Condensing Pill.

The Condensing Pill immediately transformed into a burst of medicinal power within his stomach. Fu Changsheng skillfully wrapped the mana around it and began refining it bit by bit.

A year flew by in the blink of an eye.

Five Yuan Condensing Pills were completely refined.

However.

He still was a little short of breaking through to the Fifth-Layer Foundation Establishment:

"As one reaches the later stages of Foundation Establishment, indeed, more True Essence is needed."

Fortunately.

He still had two Fire-Storage Fruits left.

Fu Changsheng flipped his right hand, and a box with a white base and fruit patterns floated before him. With a technique sent in, two Fire-Storage Fruits came into view. His mouth opened, and the two Fire-Storage Fruits simultaneously entered his belly.

He intended to breakthrough to the Fifth-Layer Foundation Establishment in one go.

In cultivation, years pass unnoticed.

Three years in the blink of an eye passed inside the [Training Room].

A sudden subtle click sounded in the Quiet Chamber, as if some membrane was being torn apart, yet Fu Changsheng's mana surged along the Heaven and Earth Bridge for a grand cycle, before rolling back down and returning to the dantian.

Through inner vision of the dantian.

The dantian had expanded twice over.

Simultaneously.

His divine sense also increased and doubled:

"Fifth-Layer Foundation Establishment!"

Fu Changsheng joyfully opened his eyes, feeling the abundant mana within, slightly excited, but the peculiar atmosphere in the Quiet Chamber quickly calmed his stirred emotions.

After spending another half-year solidifying his cultivation level.
