Family Cultivation: I Become a Mirror-Chapter 39 Taiyin Profound Light

"The Moon Lake Autumn Reflection Technique was once a spell passed down by the Immortal Mansion, very mystical. It requires two types of nature’s spiritual energy, one called Taiyin Moonlight and the other called Lake Center’s Golden Autumn. The Sect has some reserves of the latter, but as for the Taiyin Moonlight, it hasn’t been seen since the Immortal Mansion went into seclusion, which was hundreds of years ago."

"The former Peak Master of Moon Lake Peak had achieved this spell by chance through the reward granted by the Immortal Mansion. After his death, no one else has been able to master it."

Li Chijin had also heard of the Immortal Mansion, said to be a colossal entity spanning several nations, but it had not appeared in the world for hundreds of years. He sighed quietly in his heart, nodded, and gave thanks:

"So that’s how it is, thank you, senior brother, for resolving my confusion!"

————

Lu Jiangxian’s divine sense shone through the surface of the Mirror, watching the child who was practicing the Guidance Technique.

A shimmering white brilliance seemed to emerge above the boy’s head, about seven inches long, emitting a faint glimmer.

"This child’s compatibility with the Mysterious Pearl Talisman Seed is quite good, but it remains to be seen how his talent for cultivation fares."

Lu Jiangxian withdrew his divine sense from Li Xuanxuan and felt his heart stir violently. His vision blurred as if he saw a pure white jade-like disc emerging before him. Suddenly, he had a realization:

"Li Chijin has broken through the Yujing Wheel!"

A profound and mysterious force traveled tens of thousands of miles through the connection of the Mysterious Pearl Talisman Seed and lightly merged into the Mirror on the stone platform. Lu Jiangxian felt his divine soul lighten, revealing a stream of moon-white light.

When Li Tongya and Li Xiangping made their breakthroughs, a faint amount of power was reflected into Lu Jiangxian’s Mirror. Coupled with Li Chijin’s repeated breakthroughs and with the feedback from his Yujing Wheel breakthrough, Lu Jiangxian finally managed to condense the Taiyin Profound Light.

"This Xuan Light likely possesses the strength of one full strike from the entire cultivation level of the Yujing Wheel. However, its range of attack is immense, even exceeding my current divine sense coverage."

With the achievement of this Xuan Light, Lu Jiangxian’s divine sense range had expanded to encompass the size of Lijing Village. He was excited beyond measure, the Mirror slightly warm to the touch, a faint and indistinct sensation of attraction emerging in his heart again.

"As my divine sense range expands, I can perceive things further away!"

Lu Jiangxian carefully felt the direction and pondered:

"It seems to still be above Wangyue Lake, but much farther than before. Should I indicate to the members of the Li family to go and take a look?"

"No."

Lu Jiangxian’s heart grew solemn, and he thought to himself:

"Considering its location, it seems to be in the market by the lake. Better to wait until the two brothers of the Li family have achieved the Yujing Wheel before taking a look."

The door creaked open, and Li Mutian entered the room with the two brothers of the Li family. Li Xiangping patted Li Xuanxuan’s shoulder and asked seriously,

"Are you ready?"

"I am ready!"

Li Xuanxuan nodded vigorously and handed the Wooden Slip back to Li Xiangping.

Li Mutian watched Li Xiangping stow away the Wooden Slip and then respectfully placed the Mirror on the table and set up a few sticks of incense.

"Disciple Li Xuanxuan of the Li family, respectfully requests the profound and enlightening method of Xuanming, to command life and stabilize the spirit, to honor and pursue cultivation."

"Shall speak of progress in due time, will not fail expectations, as commanded shall burn the instructions, body indebted to Taiyin."

No sooner had Li Xuanxuan finished speaking than Lu Jiangxian activated the spell, and the surface of the Mirror burst with a resplendent light, pulsing as if breathing, and suddenly expelled a White Pill.

Li Xuanxuan promptly sat cross-legged, guiding the spell to receive the Talisman Seed.

"Liu Rouxuan completed her Xuanjing last night, and in a few more months, Xuanxuan will also achieve Xuanjing. With that, my Li family will have six cultivators."

Li Tongya looked down at Li Xuanxuan on the ground, secured the door more tightly, and said softly,

"Two at the Zhouxing Wheel stage, three at the Xuanjing Wheel stage, and Jing’er should have reached the Qingyuan Wheel at the Immortal Sect."

Li Xiangping looked at the Mirror on the table, overflowing with colorful lights, and continued:

"Our main Li family still lacks cultivators with higher cultivation levels. Not to mention Ji Dengqi at the Qi Cultivation Stage, even the Wan Family next door has cultivators at the peak of the Yujing Wheel."

"Only after the birth of Spiritual Sense at the Yujing Wheel stage can a cultivator refine pills, refine artifacts, set formations, use Storage Bags, and enter the marketplaces safely,"

As Lu Jiangxian was listening to the conversation between the two, his Divine Sense suddenly stirred, sensing a faint and unfamiliar presence coming from the west, wandering indecisively not too far away.

Lu Jiangxian’s perception was divided into two layers. The first, called ’visual sense,’ had an extremely wide range, even vaguely covering the entire region of the Li family’s influence from Lichuan Entrance to Lidao Entrance. This visual sense was akin to a mortal’s "sight," only capable of observing and detecting vague images. Its advantage lay in its discreet nature, generally undetected by others. Even Si Yuanbai, who was at the Foundation Establishment stage back then, hadn’t noticed his prying eyes.

The second layer was his Divine Sense, which could cover about Lijing Village and was similar to a mortal’s "touch." Within this range, Lu Jiangxian could use his Divine Sense to scan a person completely. However, the level of strength between the two parties meant that the observed could feel a strong sense of being watched. Likewise, within the range of his Divine Sense, he could also employ the Taiyin Profound Light to strike against foes.

Now, his visual sense had detected that the presence was about the strength of a Yujing Wheel cultivator, sneaking around near the Lichuan Entrance. He felt somewhat uneasy and thought to himself,

"Why is there a Yujing Wheel cultivator loitering here... I should alert the members of the Li family."

With this thought, silver-white moonlight burst forth from the surface of the Mirror, converging into strands of moon-white threads in the air.

This transformation immediately startled Li Tongya and the others. Seeing the silver light continuously gather in the sky, they exchanged glances, puzzled.

Li Mutian narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice,

"Don’t panic, let’s see what it is first."

"It looks like a map of our Li Family."

Li Tongya stroked his chin, speaking with some hesitation.

And then they saw the moonlight gradually condense into a bright white map. Lichuan, Lidao, Jingyang, and various other villages were all meticulously represented, with none missing. The only exception was that the map near Lichuan Entrance continued to shimmer with silver light.

"Lichuan Entrance?"

Li Xiangping murmured to himself.

————

Chen Erniu had managed things at Lichuan Entrance for several years, putting on weight and growing a beard, finally looking nothing like a farmer anymore.

Having settled the accounts for the fields during the day and mediated a dispute between two brothers over land, he lay contentedly on his couch, beginning to think about tomorrow’s tasks.

"The fields east of the village are fairly good. I’ll send a few people tomorrow to start cultivating them, to secure a bit more land for us."

With Lichuan Entrance and Lidao Entrance being closely adjacent and administratively not having the hierarchical relationship like the nearby villages of Lijing and Jingyang, it naturally depended on him as the manager to argue for his rights in every matter.

Xu Wenshan had originally wanted to develop a trade route, but with the Wan Family almost conceding the ancient Lidao to the Ji Family, there was naturally no way eastward, which made him quite irritable these past few months, frequently clashing with Chen Erniu.

"This is really troublesome."

As he contemplated, Chen Erniu heard a commotion outside. His eldest son rushed in panic-stricken, blurting out,

"It’s terrible, it’s terrible! Father! There’s a dead body at the head of the village!"

Chen Erniu quickly leapt out of bed, exclaiming in shock,

"What?"

—— A word from the author ——

After being featured in recommendations yesterday, my novel gained a lot of traffic, and many people came to support and offer suggestions—thank you, everyone!

Though it’s a special period and the platform shows that comments have been deleted, I can still see them in the author’s backend. Many people want to increase the role of the protagonist, Lu Jiangxian.

After reviewing the outline for the entire night, I realized indeed that the protagonist had too little screen time before several upgrades, and although it’s about a family’s immortal cultivation journey, I spent a long time today adjusting the outline. I’ve moved some things forward from later in the story—

Please bear with me for a few more Chapters. As a new author writing a difficult ensemble story, the pressure is indeed great, haha.

Thank you all for your bookmarks and votes. Support and suggestions mean a lot to me! Although it’s hard to please everyone, I will try my best to find a balance between the Li family members and Lu Jiangxian—

Last but not least, about typos—I am truly grateful for the messages pointing them out. Rest assured, I check all messages for mistakes!
