Family Management Game In Immortal Continent Chapter 8: The Spear Unsealed by Millions of Incense

Twelve Qi-nourishing pills were provided, which are essential for cultivators in the Qi-refining stage to concentrate the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within their Dantian. A single pill is capable of accelerating a cultivator's progress by saving at least one year of meditation and absorption time.

Furthermore, there were twelve marrow cleansing pills. These are utilized by those in the Qi-refining stage to purge physical impurities. Practicing for six months while under the influence of these pills provides a sensation akin to receiving divine assistance.

Regarding the final dozen elixirs, the Heaven's Secret Replenishing Pills, Li Wei questioned if such treasures truly existed within the game's world of immortal cultivation.

He was well aware that even on Earth today, obtaining a Heaven's Secret Replenishing Pill on the open market was nearly impossible. This specific medicine carries the potential to enhance a person's spiritual roots over a three-year span, though the outcome depends entirely on the individual's fortune.

The secret recipe for this elixir is held exclusively by the Li family. According to data from the Li family's elixir manufacturing firm, the most impressive result recorded was a person with a spiritual root talent of 24 who managed to reach 50 points within three years; other minor attribute gains were considered negligible.

For any cultivator, this is a highly coveted treasure!

Naturally, the potency of the medicine comes with a trade-off in drug resistance. The Heaven's Secret Replenishing Pill can be consumed only once in a lifetime.

“These 36 pills represent roughly a tenth of my total stock.”

Li Wei watched the delivery of the items without any hint of regret.

Since these resources had been accumulated from his family over the years and were now useless for his own level, he didn't mind parting with them.

“The ancestor has manifested his spirit once more!”

“Look at all these elixirs! Just catching their scent is a rare blessing.”

“We thank the ancestor for this bounty. With your spiritual guidance, ancestor, I will dedicate myself to building a powerful future for our family.”

Gratitude overflowed from Li Dalong’s family.

[Incense Gained +16]

Li Wei shifted his gaze away from the monitor.

He reached out to gently stroke the mysterious spear. A sudden ripple of air surged from the weapon's surface, scattering light objects around the room.

A prompt soon materialized on his screen.

[Would you like to consume 1,000,000 incense to break the seal on the 'mysterious iron spear'?]

“???”

After all that grinding, he had only managed to save up 80 points of incense. Asking for a million felt like a daylight robbery.

Yet, this exorbitant cost only served to deepen Li Wei's belief in the spear’s hidden potential.

Taking a deep breath, he checked the computer clock; it was already 4:00 in the morning.

“Has the whole night passed already?”

Standing up slowly, Li Wei performed a long stretch. Under normal circumstances, he would have headed to bed, but right now he felt completely revitalized. “It seems I should head out for a bit.”

He quickly positioned a monitored spirit stone in front of the PC. Simultaneously, he summoned a wooden puppet from his spatial ring and sat it in the gaming chair. Once he was certain he could manage the computer remotely, he exited the room.

“Master, shall I prepare some breakfast for you?”

As he stepped into the living room, Yuexian—who had been standing in the center of the hall with her eyes shut—opened them and offered him a warm, pre-dawn smile.

“That won't be necessary.”

Li Wei smiled back before inquiring, “Is Grandma Ling still at Cave No. 12?”

“She hasn't left. Since returning from the outside world two months ago, she has remained inside her cave.” Yuexian blinked as she watched Li Wei put on his shoes. “Are you leaving, Master? Would you like me to come along?”

“It’s just a quick errand. I’ll be back shortly. Just have the car ready for me.”

He then pulled out his phone to check the computer feed via the spirit stone.

In the game, the Li family members had wasted no time. After receiving the elixirs, they had all entered secluded meditation, appearing determined not to emerge until their resources were spent.

Li Dalong had clearly identified the pills using the information from the “Qi Refining Period Practice Manual.”

Nearly every member of the household, including the Iron Forest Horse, had consumed a Heaven's Secret Replenishing Pill.

While their latent talents had been upgraded, the immediate effects were not yet visible.

Meanwhile, the roster showed a change.

In addition to Li Dalong, who sat at the fourth level of Qi Refining, the family now boasted two additional cultivators.

Li Dalong’s wife, who originally had no hope of cultivating, had successfully reached the first level of Qi Refining thanks to the elixirs and the prenatal techniques found in the manual.

Li Yaozu had also broken through. At just five years old, reaching the first level of Qi Refining signaled a very promising path ahead!

“May the Ancestor protect us!”

“My children must train diligently. We cannot let the ancestor's efforts go to waste.”

“I failed to provide a worthy gift this time. I must spend the next ten years making it up to my ancestor!”

The Li family members within the game were now burning with a renewed sense of purpose.
