Qi Zhiheng did not dare to hope for his father's forgiveness. After kowtowing three times at the door, he left the town and went to the village where his three acres of spiritual fields were located.

The misfortune he experienced made him much more mature and sensible, and he decided to make a good use of his time in the village.

The spiritual disciplines are divided into ten elements: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, ice, light, and darkness.

Qi Zhiheng possessed three elemental attributes: water, wood, and lightning. He used the wood attribute the most, so he used wood-based spiritual techniques to cultivate spiritual plants. From initially growing spiritual rice and vegetables to later growing spiritual herbs, the quality of his plants was quite good. He quickly used the money he earned to buy a lot of spiritual fields in the surrounding area.

Qi Zhiheng then devoted himself to farming and cultivation, and soon rose from a spiritual disciple to a spiritual master.

Even though he had been expelled from the Qi family, no one dared to openly cause him trouble, which allowed him to have a relatively smooth life.

Of course, I've lost contact with most of my old friends.

Except for Xu Jin, who would often come to visit him, bringing some food or other small items each time.

Although the gift wasn't expensive, it was enough to move Qi Zhiheng. He felt that this was what they meant by true friendship in times of trouble, and from then on, he kept Xu Jin in his heart and regarded her as his most important friend.

Life was supposed to continue like this; barring any unforeseen circumstances, he would have remained a small landowner, living a peaceful and stable life.

But all of this changed after he was promoted to a Spirit Master at the age of thirty-two.

Years ago, because he was short of money and needed a storage device, he bought a small storage ring from a stall. It looked a bit old, and the stall owner didn't even know how many owners it had changed hands over. He sold it to Qi Zhiheng for a considerable price.

It was this storage ring that, when he became a spiritual master, absorbed a large amount of surrounding spiritual energy and opened up a space!

The ring contained its own world, though it was only about ten acres in size, it had soil, grass, a pond, and a pavilion. Once inside, a cultivation technique would be passed on to him. Cultivators with a full-elemental spiritual body could open the space and receive the inheritance after their spiritual power reached a certain level.

This lineage is based on the "Ten Thousand Yuan Mixed One Technique" mental cultivation method, supplemented by several other techniques, including fist techniques, palm techniques, leg techniques, footwork, body techniques, and many other spells. In addition to the spell manuals, the attic also contains many miscellaneous books, travelogues, alchemy, weapon crafting, formations, talismans, and some unorthodox minor techniques.

The original owner of this legacy was an ascended great being, whose Dharma name was Wanyuan Immortal Lord. He left behind the legacy in order to find a successor.

Qi Zhiheng was shocked at the time.

The Xuanling Continent has never had a cultivation system, nor has it ever had the concept of ascension.

Living in a small town for many years limited his horizons. After receiving the inheritance, he discovered that he possessed a full-elemental spiritual body, and thus began his path of cultivation.

"The Ten Thousand Yuan Mixed One Technique" was truly a very suitable cultivation method for him. In just nine months, he was able to cultivate from the first level of the Spirit Master to the ninth level of the Spirit Master.

There are certain differences between the levels of spiritual cultivation and the levels of immortal cultivation. The corresponding levels are as follows:

Spirit Apprentice - Early Stage of Qi Refining

Spiritualist - Mid-stage Qi Refining

Spirit Master - Late Qi Refining Stage

Spirit General - Early Foundation Establishment Stage

Spirit King - Mid-Foundation Establishment

Spirit Saint - Late Foundation Establishment

Spirit Venerable - Golden Core Stage

Qi Zhiheng's cultivation speed shocked everyone, including Xu Jin. Xu Jin visited him after he came out of seclusion. Xu Jin had known him for many years and considered him the most trustworthy person.

So when Xu Jin asked him, Qi Zhiheng revealed part of the matter of the inheritance.

At that time, Qi Zhiheng was only at the Master Spirit Master level, and the inheritance he had unlocked was only a small, easily understood part. Qi Zhiheng only told Xu Jin this small part, omitting much of the content.

It also emphasized that only spirits of all types can cultivate, without mentioning anything about space.
