Chapter 621: Since When Did Improving Spiritual Roots Become So Easy? (3)

But their children had made rapid progress to the fifth-grade and fourth-grade levels in just a short time.

At this moment, Lu Changsheng’s thoughts of returning home became even more urgent, wanting to understand what was going on with his children.

…

Bi Lake Mountain.

Inside a courtyard, in the practice room.

...

“This, this, this!?”

Lu Caizhen opened her eyes, looking at her hands, feeling the speed of her recent cultivation, she was astonished.

After taking the elixir medicine her mother gave her, there was no noticeable increase in her cultivation level.

She only felt a mysterious sensation throughout her body, as if, in some inexplicable way, her Spiritual Root had been enhanced.

Then she attempted to meditate and cultivate.

To her discovery, her cultivation speed was several times faster than before, leaving her utterly amazed.

“What kind of elixir medicine is this! It can actually enhance the Spiritual Root!”

Lu Caizhen muttered to herself, realizing the pill was extraordinary, and hastily went to find her mother.

At the same time, Lu Quanzhen came to visit his own mother.

After all, the Heaven-replenishing Elixir was of great importance.

His mother would definitely realize something was amiss after taking it, and he needed to explain and instruct her.

“Quanzhen, do you have something to tell me?”

Qu Zhenzhen looked at her son coming to find her again and happily inquired.

Her son was avoiding her all day long, coming over yesterday, and again today, which made her somewhat surprised.

“Mother, the pill I gave you, haven’t you taken it yet?”

Lu Quanzhen looked at his mother and guessed that she hadn’t taken it yet.

“Quanzhen, where did you get that pill? It looks very precious, and I thought it wasn’t necessary, so I gave it to Caizhen.”

Qu Zhenzhen spoke thusly.

“Gave it to Caizhen?”

Lu Quanzhen’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing this.

Although his uncle had said that if his mother didn’t want it, he could give it to his sister or perhaps his father.

But there was only one Heaven-replenishing Elixir left, and if it really came down to making a decision, he would without question choose his mother, Qu Zhenzhen.

After all, it was his uncle’s intention.

It was for this reason that he worried his mother would refuse, so he made up a reason.

But unexpectedly, due to an unfortunate twist of fate, his mother had given the elixir to his sister.

“Quanzhen, what is it?”

Qu Zhenzhen looked at her son, sensing that something was not quite right.

“It’s nothing, I was just asking. Since it’s given to Caizhen, it’s given to Caizhen. I have something to discuss with her anyway.”

Lu Quanzhen kept his expression calm, and with a faint smile, he responded nonchalantly.

He knew that once his sister took the pill, she would realize the effects were not as expected, and he needed to explain and instruct her.

However, just as he got up and hadn’t even stepped out of the door, he saw his sister hurrying over frantically.

“Mother! Mother!”

“Eh, brother, you’re here too, what kind of pill did you give to mother? After I took it, I felt like my Spiritual Root…”

Lu Caizhen saw her brother and immediately spoke out.

“Ah…”

Lu Quanzhen looked at his impetuous sister, smacked his own forehead, and sighed.

Then, in front of his mother and sister’s attentive gaze, Lu Quanzhen explained without a change in expression.

He stated that the pill was something he had obtained from a fortunate encounter some time ago.

After taking it himself, his Spiritual Root was enhanced.

Thus, after much thought, he decided that his mother should take the remaining one.

This way, mother could cultivate properly, and perhaps in the future, she might even break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, providing more companionship for father and her children.

But considering that his mother would definitely not want to use it herself, he made up a reason.

“The improvement of the Spiritual Root, Quanzhen, actually this Elixir Medicine could be given to your father.”

“Your father’s Spiritual Root is not good; if he could improve his Spiritual Root, future Cultivation would be much easier.”

Qu Zhenzhen’s face showed a hint of regret.

She wasn’t pitying herself; she just felt the Elixir Medicine was more suitable for Lu Changsheng.

“Mother, brother.”

Lu Caizhen’s hair curled softly, her fingers fidgeting with the corner of her clothes, feeling guilty for having consumed such a precious pill.

“It’s okay, what’s done is done. Concentrate more on Cultivation in the future.”

Lu Quanzhen said softly, without blaming his sister.

After all, this was his own oversight.

He looked at his sister with a serious expression, instructing, “Caizhen, the matter of the Spiritual Root is of great importance. You must never carelessly disclose it to anyone, understand?”

“Brother, I know.”

Lu Caizhen nodded repeatedly.

She had been Cultivating for so long and had not heard of an Elixir Medicine or Heavenly and Earthly Treasures that could improve a Spiritual Root.

She knew that being privy to such information could easily cause trouble.

After Lu Quanzhen had reassured his sister, Qu Zhenzhen, anxious her son might be upset, whispered, “Quanzhen, your mother has something to tell you.”

“Actually, your father had given your mother a Cultivation Method called ‘Heavenly Longevity Technique’… Your Aunt Lu Miaoyun is Cultivating this Technique. Once your father finds a Spirit Plant, your mother will be able to Cultivate it too, so don’t worry about her.”

Qu Zhenzhen said softly, revealing the Heavenly Longevity Technique to her son.

“Heavenly Longevity Technique, by Refining Heaven-and-Earth Spiritual Plants, has no bottleneck and doubles one’s Life Span…”

Lu Quanzhen paused, somewhat surprised. He hadn’t expected his family to possess such a Cultivation Method.

But he was aware of how rare Heaven-and-Earth Spiritual Plants were.

It was already quite fortunate that his father found one for his Aunt Lu Miaoyun.

However, finding another for his own mother to Cultivate would likely not be easy.

“There are still four years left until the Purple Shadow Secret Realm opens.”

“Now that I am at the Ninth Level Energy Refinement, if I concentrate on refining my Technique during this period, perhaps I could find a Heaven-and-Earth Spiritual Plant when I venture into the Purple Shadow Secret Realm.”

Lu Quanzhen narrowed his eyes, murmuring to himself.

The Purple Shadow Secret Realm opened once every thirty years.

Upon learning of this Secret Realm, he had planned to break through to the Seventh Level Energy Refinement before its opening and take his chances exploring it.

Now, hearing his mother’s words and having reached the Ninth Level Cultivation Level, he also felt confident in visiting it.

…

Two months later.

Lu Changsheng, accompanied by his wives and concubines, boarded the Spiritual Vessel and set off on the return journey to the Qingyun Region.

On this trip, he also planned to ask Li Feiyu whether he wanted to return with him.

But after learning that the latter had been out and not at home, he let out a slight sigh.

As he had guessed, Li Feiyu’s mentality had been somewhat influenced by himself; he was preparing for one final effort in the next few years.

“With a Substitute Talisman, Feiyu should be able to escape if he encounters any danger.”

Lu Changsheng stood on the deck, contemplating.

But as he gazed at the overlapping peaks and the endlessly extending Myriad Beasts Mountain Range, his heart lurched, realizing a problem.

A Substitute Talisman could form a Puppet substitute to take one’s place in the face of life-threatening danger, then transport the user a thousand miles away.

However, this transportation was random and not under the user’s control.

Li Feiyu, who had long honed his skills in the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range, might be randomly transported even deeper into the wilderness if he used a ‘Substitute Talisman.’

And deep within the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range, not to mention Energy Refining Cultivators, even those at the Foundation Establishment and Nascent Soul Cultivation Levels faced great danger.

“It shouldn’t be that bad…”

Lu Changsheng shook his head, believing that after so many years, Li Feiyu’s luck couldn’t possibly be so poor.
