Spiritual Energy Rejuvenation: I Began Cultivating By Farming
Chapter 63 - 63 63 Family Head Huang

63: Chapter 63 Family Head Huang 63: Chapter 63 Family Head Huang “Quack quack quack gagaga”

After the two ghost cultivators were seriously injured, the more they thought about it, the more unwilling they became.

This treasure hunt was supposed to be easy—kill anyone weaker than them—but they didn’t expect to hit such a hard iron plate.

The one they were tracking at the beginning had such low cultivation; they simply thought they could benefit from two sides fighting.

But the one who seized the treasure was foolish enough to let the other escape.

They thought that two against one would surely win, right?

Both had the same level of cultivation, and they were even working together.

But they hadn’t anticipated that one after another, magical treasures would be summoned—the very bane of ghost cultivators.

The two of them injured their opponent, but they didn’t come out on top either.

Moreover, if they didn’t find the corresponding Pills to heal their wounds, it was very probable that scars would remain, leaving hidden afflictions.

Such maladies might prevent them from ever advancing a stage again.

Today, they wanted to obtain that Magnetic Trinket to create a magical treasure.

With it, they could attract the souls of the dead to use for themselves.

They could also draw Demonic Beasts into the Magical Treasure to become its Artifact Spirit.

Sadly, their attempt at seizing the treasure today ended in them being covered in wounds.

However, they remembered the Qi of that Immortal Elder, and if they ever got the chance, they were determined to take back the Magnetic Trinket.

…

Family Head Huang had previously summoned the Reducing Tower while that Immortal Elder was inspecting the Storage Bag.

He directed a stream of Spiritual Energy into it, causing the Reducing Tower to descend rapidly toward the ground.

Then, he summoned another Magical Treasure, the Earth Drilling Dragon, and together with the Magical Treasure, burrowed into the ground.

Luckily, he escaped swiftly.

After running a good distance underground, he stealthily looked skyward and saw that the battle of Great Power Holders above had changed the colors of the sky, covering the sun with dark clouds and then dispersing them to reveal the sun once more.

It turned out that at that level, powerful magical treasures could change the appearance of the sun and moon.

Family Head Huang dared not linger in the vicinity for too long, fearing they would notice him after finishing their fight, which could lead to another pursuit.

He rapidly burrowed through the ground.

After two or three hours, when he needed to replenish his Spiritual Power, he returned to his clan’s underground tunnel.

Family Head Huang entered the clan’s tunnel, covered in dirt, and went straight to his room without regard for the mud on his body.

The clan’s tunnel network would lead to his residence, designed so he could escape quickly in case of emergencies—tunnels with mechanisms leading away from each courtyard.

Their family’s designers made sure that every courtyard in their clan had an exit to the underground tunnel.

This was so the clan could evacuate swiftly in times of disaster.

As long as the clan’s people survived, there would always come a day for renewal, as the saying goes: “When the green hills are kept, there is no fear of no firewood.”

Family Head Huang emerged from the tunnel and arrived at his Cultivation Cave Abode.

He used a Purification Magic, cleansing himself of all the dirt and odor.

Only then did he take out the box containing the Magnetic Trinket to have a look.

Today’s harrowing experiences were all for it.

Initially, when Family Head Huang purchased it, he had considered bringing the Magnetic Trinket back to the clan and asking the best Artifact Refiner to create a Magical Treasure for him.

After the struggle and pursuit from others, a new idea dawned on him.

He was an Artifact Refiner himself; why entrust such significant matters to someone else?

His thoughts were not to be shared, so he decided to design a higher-grade Magical Treasure in secrecy—unknown to others.

However, Refining Artifacts would take time.

He needed to give his family an explanation to ease their worry and concern.

Thinking this, Family Head Huang placed the Magical Treasure box inside his Necklace Storage Pendant.

He opened the door of his Cultivation Cave Abode and entered the outer room, where his Dao partner was sitting on the bed, cultivating.

Sensing his Dao partner’s Qi, Madame Huang opened her eyes, still holding a look of sorrow.

“Family Head, did you find our grandson’s master?

Did the master agree to avenge him?

Could they summon our grandson’s soul back?”

“There has been some progress.

Have the three Elders returned yet?

Did they tell you anything?”

“I haven’t gone out so I wouldn’t know.

I’ve only been waiting for the Family Head to return.”

“First, go get your son and daughter-in-law, and we’ll discuss everything properly,” Family Head Huang said, not wanting to go out himself, thinking that if the clan’s people saw him, they would bother him endlessly, preventing him from refining the Magical Treasure at ease in the Cave Abode.

Fortunately, he hadn’t taken the three Elders with him to buy Magical Treasure materials; they undoubtedly would’ve advised against such expenditures if they saw how he spent money.

Should something happen to the Elders during a stream escape, it would be a significant loss for the clan.

If the people he took with him didn’t return, he would face the complaints and hatred of the clan.

“Alright,” Old Madam Huang went out.

She moved to the Council Hall outside, where her son and daughter-in-law sat, together with the three Elders and some clan members.

Her son was questioning the Elders.

“Where has my father gone?

Did you find the Mount Tai Sect’s Golden Core Elder this time to help take revenge?

Why hasn’t my son’s soul been brought back?”

“Wuu wuu…” Madame Huang wept.

“The Family Head went off to handle some matters by himself.

As for the Elder of the Mount Tai Sect, he wasn’t able to assist in taking revenge, but your son’s soul is with him,” an Elder said.

“What exactly happened?” the Acting Head of the Huang Family asked, his brows furrowed with sorrow.

“Son, daughter-in-law, I have something to discuss with you.

Elders and clan members, please return first,” Madame Huang said, unable to listen any further.

Even the Golden Core Elders were not clear in their explanations, and it seemed like her partner indeed had something important to say to them.

“Acting Family Head, we’ll take our leave first.”

Upon hearing Madame Huang’s words, the Elders and clan members knew there must be family matters to discuss.

With a death in the family and no funerary arrangements made yet, there surely had to be other matters to talk about.

“Mother, what did you want to see us about?”

The Acting Head of the Huang Family looked at his mother with a questioning gaze, while his wife looked at her mother-in-law with tear-filled eyes.

“Follow me, your father has returned, and he has something to tell us.”

“Father has returned?”

The couple followed their mother to her room, where they indeed found their father.

The Elder had said their father was still away on business—had he returned in secret?

“Father, the Elder said you were away handling matters and hadn’t returned yet?”

“Yes, I did take care of some things.

Although our grandson has been killed, that Golden Core Elder said that with the help of a Magical Treasure, our grandson’s soul can cultivate and become a Ghost Cultivator.

One can also ascend through the path of ghost cultivation.”

“Ghost Cultivator?

How easy could that be?

Cultivation for human cultivators is already so difficult.”

Upon hearing their father’s words, the Huang Family Head’s son found it difficult to believe what the Golden Core Elder said.

His family nodded along too, since what the Elder described seemed far-fetched.

“I believe that Elder is right, which is why I thought of a plan to go to the black market auction to look for a device capable of being refined into a Magical Treasure to protect our still-developing grandson,” the Family Head laughed.

“In the end, I managed to buy one.”

“Father, what did you buy?”

“According to the messenger’s description, this is a kind of Magnetic Trinket for refining Magical Treasures.

This Magical Treasure can attack and can also serve as a spirit-nurturing treasure for those in the Spirit Movement Stage and Spirit Awakening Stage.”

“There’s such a device?”

“There is,” the Family Head said as he took out a box from his chest, opened it, and let his family look inside.

The women of the household did not understand Artifact Refining, but they still believed in their men.

They now felt a glimmer of hope, and their faces, once stricken with grief, showed a hint of a smile.

The Huang Family Head’s son was an Artifact Refiner, albeit not a high-level one—his skills could not compare with his father’s, but he recognized that this Magnetic Trinket was indeed material for refining a Magical Treasure.

“Father, it’s really so, then my child is saved, haha!”

“Mm-hm.

I called you here to tell you the truth of the matter.

Put aside thoughts of a reward for now—we’ve offended Su Chang’an of the Sword Sect, one of the Top Ten Clans, whose cultivation is higher than ours.”

“Su Chang’an?

How did my son offend him?

How did he come to be killed by him?”

“It’s said to be a case of murder for treasure.

Our son killed his friend, so he took his revenge.

We cannot seek vengeance against him; instead, we must find a way to restore Huang Chen to human form so he can cultivate.

Once his cultivation is sufficient, naturally there will be an opportunity for revenge.”

“But how many years will that take?”

“For those who cultivate immortality, the journey is long.

We must patiently wait.

I’ve called you here to tell you not to inform the clan that I have returned.

Son, continue holding the position of Acting Family Head.

I am focused on refining a Magical Treasure.”

“Alright, Father, rest assured, everything at home is in order.

We await only the completion of the Magical Treasure you are refining.”

“Hmm, I need to hurry with the refining of this Magical Treasure because there is a reason.

The Taoist said that after forty-nine days, he will send my grandson’s soul to a place to cultivate.

Once I have finished refining this Magical Treasure, it will serve to protect my grandson.”

“A place?

What place?”

“Have you heard of the Desolate Ancient era?

Back then, human cultivators, Demonic Beasts, Blood Clan, Ghost Cultivators, Demon Cultivators, Buddha Cultivators, Confucianism Tao, and Ancient Martial Arts practitioners fought for territory, each aspiring to become the supreme ruler, leading to a variety of battlefields.

In the end, amidst fierce fighting, all suffered heavy losses and damaged space, tearing apart one realm after another, leading to the present Mortal Realm.”

“We’ve heard of that legend.”

“In one fierce battle after another, many Immortals fell, and their treasures were left scattered across the battlefields.

This Magical Treasure picked up by the Golden Core Elder hails from an artifact of the Desolate Ancient era, the Hell Palace, which is suitable for Ghost Cultivators to train with.”

“Really?

That’s wonderful; our child can be saved.”

Madame Huang also chimed in, her previously tearful eyes now dried.

“As long as his soul can cultivate, he will surely, like us, lift our clan to great heights.”

“Father, I do not expect Huang Chen to bring glory to our family, I just hope that he can continue to cultivate, that his presence remains in this world.”

“What kind of man doesn’t have ambition?

Moreover, it’s the Sword Sect of the Top Ten Clans we’re dealing with.

We need a higher cultivation level and the ability to surpass them to have any hope of revenge,” the Family Head said, and his family nodded in agreement, believing that as long as there was hope, they would one day be reunited with their lost family member.
