As for the others, their levels had also advanced rapidly. Even Aaron and the others, who had only started cultivating from scratch after returning to their family, had all gradually reached the Mage realm!
During this period of time, Karuman, the old servant guarding the family courtyard, had been in a daze.
Karuman sat at the entrance of the family courtyard all day, staring at the sky in a daze. He muttered from time to time, “Another breakthrough. Another person has broken through.”
Even the Five-Color Peacock, which was cultivating in seclusion behind the family clan’s courtyard, was awakened from time to time by the frequent advancement sounds. However, it got used to it later and continued to cultivate in seclusion as usual.
While the descendants were all cultivating in seclusion, Romo, the Old Ancestor, was not idle.
Apart from occasionally giving pointers through a dream to his descendants who were in trouble with their cultivation and occasionally using the Ancestral Protection Talisman to help them break through when they were in trouble, he was also cultivating most of the time.
As he was the Old Ancestor of the family clan, the Hundredfold Cultivation Halo Talisman and the various enhancements from the family clan’s magic formation were naturally effective on Romo.
Romo was currently a level-6 Divine Mage. Although 30 years of cultivation was not enough for him to advance, it was still enough for him to advance a little.
In addition, during this period, the descendants still did not forget to pay respect to their ancestors every day. Under the effect of the Advanced Faith Doubling Talisman, more than 8,000 Faith Points were added to the tab every day. The inventory of Faith Points quickly broke the record.
After he had sufficient Faith Points, Romo also used 50,000 Faith Points to upgrade the family’s forbidden ground to level-2.
After advancing to level-2, the upper limit on the number of people that can receive the effects of the family clan’s forbidden ground had increased. The current special effects had all received a fourfold increase of comprehension ability, a 20-fold increase in cultivation base, and a 20-fold increase in recuperation. Furthermore, there was a special bonus of 20% increase in the success rate of alchemy!
In addition, the area of the upgraded forbidden ground had also greatly expanded. Previously, it was only about the size of the family clan’s courtyard, but now, it had doubled!
After the family clan’s forbidden land had been upgraded, the number of clansmen cultivating in it increased to three daily. Ron and Dick occupied two fixed places, and the third place was used by the other clansmen in turn. Priority was given to those who were about to advance.
In addition to the routine cultivation, Ron and Dick each had another important task, which was to study alchemy and training!
As Dick had the foundation, after he had learned the Divine Refinement Technique, his improvement was extremely fast. The success rate of refining a silver-tier magical weapon was not low. Moreover, after he had advanced to the Great Archmage realm, he was already able to refine a gold-tier magical weapon!
Although Ron had started learning alchemy from scratch, his talent for alchemy was obvious. Moreover, he had studied alchemy books of the high-grade divine level. Coupled with the Sacred Tool, the Alchemy Cauldron, plus the Strange Sacred Flame, and the enhancement from the forbidden ground on alchemy, his speed of improvement was not slower than that of Dick at all!
In just a month, Ron had already achieved a very high success rate in refining grade-1 and grade-2 pills. These pills were generally suitable for the Mage realm. In another month, he would be able to refine grade-3 and grade-4 pills, which were generally suitable for the Great Mage realm. As time passed, the refinement of grade-5 pills would be imminent, and he would catch up soon.
With the help of the pills Ron had refined, the cultivation efficiency of the clansmen had increased significantly!
The requirement for the family clan’s forbidden ground to advance from level-2 to level-3 was 300,000 Faith Points. Although he had enough Faith Points in his inventory, Romo was not in a hurry to upgrade the forbidden ground. Instead, he continued to accumulate them.
In this period of time, apart from upgrading the forbidden ground and occasionally using the Ancestral Protection Talisman, he had also consumed two times of Faith Points, which were for the two monthly ancestral worship Gift Bags. However, no special items had appeared. They were all common tools such as the Hundredfold Cultivation Speed Talisman or the Ancestral Protection Talisman. The Faith Points consumption was not much.
Romo then heard the System’s voice again. [Ding, your descendant has just completed an ancestral worship by the whole clan. The host has now received the privilege of a special gift bag.]
[This privilege could be checked in the System Shop!
Currently, much time had passed, Romo received the ancestral worship gift bag again when there were only 20 days left for the seclusion.
Hence, Romo summoned the System Shop and refreshed the gift bag which the System had rewarded him earlier.
He saw the character secret manual rewarded by the System. It was priced at 3,000 Faith Points!
There were also commercial resources. The special price was 500 Faith Points!
The random Super Invincible Sacred Tool was priced at 50,000 Faith Points. In addition, there was also a Retainer Cultivation Speed Talisman (cultivation speed ten times). The special price was 50,000 Faith Points!
When Romo saw the items in the System Shop, his eyes lit up slightly. A top-grade Sacred Tool had appeared ! This was good stuff.
Moreover, the other items also surprised Romo.
And something related to “retainer” had appeared in the gift bag.
The so-called retainers were like those people that stayed in the family clan to serve. Although he did not know what use the item had, seeing that the price was not cheap, it was probably very powerful.
However, Romo only took a glance and did not plan to find out more. After all, this little bit of Faith Points was already insufficient for his own family. However, he was an impartial person who would share the benefits with everyone in the Nicholas family.
Since they had appeared in such a System Shop, Romo decided to buy them. He bought everything else except the first item.
Alright, to put it simply, the so-called Retainer Cultivation Speed Talisman was actually to allow a long-term retainer in the family clan to obtain ten times the cultivation speed enhancement. It could last for 30 days, which was a month.
In addition, when Romo opened the business resource, it was actually the wine-making craft! He was overjoyed because cigarettes and alcohol were all high-end stuff, so they could be considered a profitable business!
…
Time passed quickly and night came. Karuman, a servant who did not belong to the Nicholas family clan, was also a retainer.
After Karuman had eaten, he returned to his room to calm down and cultivate to increase his ability. Soon, he opened his eyes with a stunned expression. Why did he feel that something was not right with his cultivation today?
His cultivation speed was several times faster than before. It had even reached ten times faster!
Karuman thought that something had gone wrong with his cultivation. He tried again and found that he seemed to have received a surprise.
