Chapter 105: The First Cultivator of the Yao Family

At the entrance of the Yao family mansion in Luocheng, Bai Mengqi was being welcomed.

The younger members of the Yao family, alongside Elder Yao and others, immediately stood on their tiptoes, craning their necks to see who was arriving. They wondered who could possibly merit such a grand reception from their patriarch.

The motorcade, carrying Bai Mengqi, slowly came to a halt.

Under the guidance of Elder Yao and the others, she stepped out of the vehicle. All the Yao family members on their tiptoes peered towards the entrance, eager to see the person important enough for their patriarch and family head to personally greet.

However, the moment Bai Mengqi emerged from the car, a collective gasp rippled through the Yao family, their gazes instantly filled with bewilderment.

“This? How is this possible?” they thought, a wave of doubt sweeping through them. ‘Could this young girl truly be the esteemed guest the Yao family has invited?’

Yet, this uncertainty swiftly solidified into undeniable fact as Elder Yao, a broad smile gracing his features, extended a welcoming gesture to Bai Mengqi.

For their patriarch to personally offer such a gesture, there was no longer any need to doubt her identity.

“Miss Bai, you have arrived at the Yao family estate. Please, come in,” Elder Yao gestured.

Bai Mengqi surveyed the Yao family’s residence. She had to admit, the mansion was indeed grand and ancient, clearly belonging to a family of considerable standing.

“Yes, very well,” Bai Mengqi replied. She followed Elder Yao and the others, striding into the Yao family compound. The moment they entered, firecrackers immediately began to explode, creating a festive atmosphere.

Inside the Yao family estate, a red carpet stretched out, flanked by rows of Yao family men and women. This elaborate display made Bai Mengqi feel a little embarrassed.

“Elder Yao, is all this pomp truly necessary? It’s making me a bit uncomfortable,” Bai Mengqi said with a wry smile.

Elder Yao, however, immediately shook his head.

“It is only right. You are a most distinguished guest of our Yao family. If we were not this grand, it would show a lack of respect on our part.”

Bai Mengqi found herself speechless, understanding the Yao family’s earnest attitude.

Led by Elder Yao and the Yao family head, they proceeded to the Yao family’s main hall. The Yao family’s buildings were predominantly ancient structures, and the main hall itself was impressively spacious.

To afford Bai Mengqi the utmost respect, the seat of honor in the hall had been left conspicuously empty. Elder Yao was quite frank with Bai Mengqi, who was visiting such a prominent family for the first time.

Bai Mengqi, visiting such a grand family for the first time, felt a little reserved.

Outside the main hall, numerous Yao family disciples stood, eager to see why their patriarch had invited such a young girl home as an esteemed guest.

“Elder Yao, is it appropriate for so many people to be here?” Bai Mengqi asked, looking at the many men and women outside with a hint of exasperation.

Elder Yao glanced towards the entrance of the Yao family home before speaking.

Our Elder Yao looked at the doorway, and after a moment of thought, waved his hand at them.

“Go back, all of you. Don’t just stand there,” he commanded.

At his words, the younger members of the Yao family immediately showed expressions of disappointment as they retreated, leaving only a few important junior members behind.

Although the people outside had departed, the main hall still held a considerable number of individuals.

“Elder Yao, are the preparations complete? If so, we can begin,” Bai Mengqi stated directly.

Elder Yao smiled faintly, then gestured to the Yao family head, who promptly produced an exquisite storage pouch.

“Miss Bai, this is a Sumeru Storage Pouch. All the spirit stones for your cultivation art are inside. Please, take a look and see if you are satisfied. If you feel it’s insufficient, our Yao family can add more,” the Yao family head said.

Bai Mengqi immediately took the pouch, skillfully opened it, and swept her divine sense through it.

Inside, a vast quantity of crystal-like stones was piled high, emanating a faint, pure energy.

These were indeed spirit stones, approximately five hundred thousand of them.

“Five hundred thousand stones? It seems the Yao family’s spirit stone reserves are even greater than I imagined,” Bai Mengqi inhaled sharply.

These five hundred thousand spirit stones were enough to cultivate several cultivators to the ninth level of Qi Condensation, and perhaps even a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Naturally, she would never complain about having too many spirit stones. The fact that they could produce such a quantity at once suggested their true reserves were far deeper.

“Hmm, for your esteemed family to produce so many spirit stones at once, it appears your preparations are extensive. Very well, let me first present the cultivation art for your inspection. This art is a universal method for the Qi Condensation stage, named the Spirit Transformation Art.”

Bai Mengqi extended her hand, producing a white piece of paper from her person. Several paragraphs were written upon it.

Elder Yao quickly rose, his expression filled with excitement, and took the paper with both hands, examining the cultivation incantation carefully.

It was a simple incantation, sounding much like a Taoist chant.

However, those with discerning eyes could immediately tell it was extraordinary, for the incantation had to be coordinated with the corresponding meridians in the human body. Ordinary people would not grasp its profound mysteries and would merely dismiss it as a nonsensical spell.

Elder Yao’s eyes lit up after only a few glances.

“Wonderful! The missing parts of our Yao family’s inherited cultivation art are likely quite similar to this one. However, this is just the incantation; there should also be specific guidance for its operation, shouldn’t there?”

Bai Mengqi nodded, then produced several more sheets of white paper. These papers contained not only text but also somewhat hastily drawn diagrams of human meridians.

Elder Yao immediately handed the incantation to the Yao family head, while he himself picked up the meridian diagrams and cultivation insights, studying them intently.

Although they had not cultivated such an art before, they could largely discern its authenticity.

The Yao family head and the other senior members of the Yao family also examined the materials.

They all unanimously agreed that the materials were genuine.

They then respectfully returned the items to Bai Mengqi.

“You’ve all seen them, haven’t you? The materials are certainly authentic. As for whether they are truly effective, we will, of course, find someone to practice them first. But before that, we still need to discuss the price,” Bai Mengqi stated.

They naturally understood this principle.

“Very well, it seems Miss Bai is not entirely satisfied with five hundred thousand spirit stones. How about this: once our Yao family confirms the authenticity of the cultivation art, we will offer another five hundred thousand spirit stones?”

Elder Yao gritted his teeth, adding another five hundred thousand.

Seeing Elder Yao’s difficult expression, Bai Mengqi did not press for a higher price. One million spirit stones, she felt, was sufficient.

“Since your esteemed family is so generous, I will not prolong this. Yao Zi, come, I will help you cultivate this Spirit Transformation Art,” Bai Mengqi called out to Yao Zi.

Yao Zi froze, immediately pointing to herself.

“Me? This?” She then looked at her family elders.

Elder Yao immediately nodded to her, indicating approval.

They had already decided to have Yao Zi and Yao Ze be the first to cultivate this art.

Yao Zi, filled with trepidation, immediately walked up to Bai Mengqi.

“Miss Bai, how do I proceed?” Yao Zi asked, a little nervously.

Bai Mengqi smiled faintly.

“Don’t be nervous, it’s very simple. Sit in a meditative posture and first read through this cultivation art,” Bai Mengqi handed the cultivation art to Yao Zi.

Yao Zi quickly took it and began to read, immediately becoming engrossed.

Bai Mengqi did not disturb her, turning instead to Elder Yao. “Elder Yao, where are the spirit stones?”

Elder Yao again looked at the Yao family head, who immediately produced another storage pouch and poured a pile of spirit stones beside Yao Zi.

For their own cultivation, they certainly couldn’t use Bai Mengqi’s spirit stones.

“Have you finished reading?” Bai Mengqi asked Yao Zi.

The content was not extensive, and Yao Zi had memorized it all with just one glance.

“Yes, I’ve memorized it all,” Yao Zi nodded.

“Good, then let us begin,” Bai Mengqi announced.

The others immediately focused their full attention.

Yao Zi closed her eyes and settled her mind, while Bai Mengqi moved behind her.

“Next, I will open the corresponding acupoints in your body to activate your Immortal Platform. It might be a little painful,” Bai Mengqi warned.

“I can endure it,” Yao Zi replied.

Bai Mengqi immediately raised her hand and began to open the corresponding acupoints. In this era, the human body’s Immortal Platform was sealed and had to be opened first to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Bang…

With each precise touch of Bai Mengqi’s finger, one acupoint after another on Yao Zi’s body was unsealed.

It was indeed painful, but Yao Zi was certainly able to endure it.

The other Yao family members carefully memorized the process of opening the acupoints, knowing they would have to perform it for future Yao family disciples.

As the last acupoint was unsealed, Bai Mengqi promptly reminded Yao Zi.

“Yao Zi, your Immortal Platform is now open. Circulate the cultivation art to absorb the energy from the spirit stones beside you.”

At Bai Mengqi’s instruction, Yao Zi immediately began to circulate the Spirit Transformation Art. A large amount of pure gaseous energy emanated from the nearby spirit stones, drifting to Yao Zi’s head and pouring into her Immortal Platform.

The spiritual energy flowed through her meridians, circulating and then entering her Immortal Root, from which it flowed out into her Qi Sea, forming a complete cycle.

“Circulate according to the meridian map to the Ninth Heaven,” Bai Mengqi instructed.

Yao Zi continued to circulate the cultivation art until the spiritual energy within her body began to cycle on its own, only then did she stop.

Half an hour later, she suddenly opened her eyes, her face alight with surprise.

“It’s done! Grandpa, Grandpa, Dad, I succeeded!” Yao Zi exclaimed, rising to her feet, feeling utterly refreshed.

From a certain perspective, Yao Zi had already become a cultivator at the first level of Qi Condensation.

“Alright, please inspect it yourselves. I believe you should have your own methods of verification,” Bai Mengqi said calmly, sitting down and awaiting the Yao family’s examination.

The Yao family certainly had ways to confirm it.

“Yao Zi, circulate the cultivation art and release the spiritual power within your body into this jade token,” Elder Yao produced an ancient jade token.

This artifact was a magical treasure, one that could only be activated by spiritual power. If Yao Zi possessed spiritual power, she would be able to activate it.

Yao Zi nodded excitedly. She took the jade token, closed her eyes, and infused her power into it. The next moment, the jade token immediately glowed with a dazzling green light, and then it floated into the air on its own.

Witnessing this scene, the Yao family members were overjoyed.

“Hahaha, excellent! Our Yao family has finally given birth to a cultivator once again!” Elder Yao exclaimed, laughing heartily.

For their Yao family, this event marked a monumental step forward.
