Cultivation: Starting from a Mortal Bone

Qin Yu’s reprimand was particularly harsh.

Therefore, Zhao Mengli remembered it extremely well.

Asking about the reason, it was naturally some words she didn’t understand, something about being too small.

She carefully examined Lin Shuishui.

Not small at all.

Though slightly inferior to herself.

"Does Junior Brother like big ones?"

While pondering, Zhao Mengli froze for a moment, then suddenly looked up.

Master’s wife seems to be quite big.

Junior Brother should like it, right?!

Actually, Zhao Mengli could also see that her husband had always yielded to herself and Lin Qianqian.

Very restrained.

She didn’t want her husband to be like this.

If Master’s wife...

Zhao Mengli’s eyes shifted as she said, "Does Master’s wife feel that Li’Er indulges at night and neglects cultivation?"

"Humph!"

Yin Qinghe dismissively snorted.

Appearing only at noon every day, isn’t that neglect?!

"Master’s wife, the matters I spoke to you about last time, do you still not believe them?"

Zhao Mengli found it strange; she had told Master’s wife, yet Master’s wife seemed not moved at all.

"What are you trying to say again?" Yin Qinghe glared at her.

Saying disbelief, not entirely.

Partly doubting.

After all, the matter was too bizarre; naturally, she couldn’t fully believe it easily.

The main reason is...

She couldn’t sense the ’warm current’ Zhao Mengli mentioned.

The energy within the body, not under one’s control, unable to be sensed by outsiders, how could she believe such a thing exists?!

"Li’Er feels her root bone is still improving, seemingly, top-grade mortal bone is not the limit, and someday, Li’Er might truly have... a Spirit Bone!"

At this moment, Zhao Mengli’s eyes brightened.

Spirit Bone!

Reportedly, cultivators with top-grade mortal bone must consume Foundation Establishment Pill and Vein Shaping Pill to have a chance to break into the Foundation Establishment Realm.

If possessing a Spirit Bone, even the most ordinary Spirit Bone, breaking into the Foundation Establishment Realm would face almost no major obstacles; it’s merely a matter of time.

Actually, the Immortal Sect selecting Immortal Seeds is essentially selecting Spirit Bones!

"Spirit Bone."

Yin Qinghe’s eyes also glimmered with longing.

Once, she fantasized about having a Spirit Bone and being selected into the Immortal Sect, but reality was she only had middle-grade mortal bone, unable even to become a true Alchemist!

Is it truly possible to possess a Spirit Bone?

As she pondered, Zhao Mengli excitedly said to her, "Master’s wife, quickly sense Li’Er’s root bone."

Yin Qinghe actually didn’t want to.

She might even say, in the depths of her heart, there’s a trace of... fear!

Yes.

It’s fear.

All cultivators in the world risk their lives for a chance at immortality, don’t they?!

But, no matter how great an opportunity at immortality might be, can it surpass improving root bone?!

Such a grand opportunity of immortality laid before her...

Could she truly refuse it?!

Thus, she preferred believing it wasn’t real.

Yet, facing Zhao Mengli’s request, Yin Qinghe reached out almost involuntarily, gripping her wrist.

Zhao Mengli began absorbing the Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth.

Under Yin Qinghe’s perception, she could clearly sense the change in Zhao Mengli’s speed of absorbing Spiritual Qi.

Compared to before, indeed faster!

Though the improvement wasn’t very apparent, but it’s only been a few days!

Moreover, even a slight improvement verified Zhao Mengli’s words... her root bone is still improving.

Could it be, really possible to enhance mortal bone to Spirit Bone?!

Yin Qinghe once again heard her own heartbeat clearly.

"Master’s wife, do you... want to have a Spirit Bone?"

Zhao Mengli’s voice suddenly came, the word almost came to the throat; Yin Qinghe suddenly realized and swallowed the word back.

She angrily scolded, "What nonsense are you spouting?!" 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Seemingly to reinforce she doesn’t have such thoughts, she began to recite:

"There’s no such talk of enhancing root bones in the world!"

"Moreover, Qin Yu himself is only top-grade mortal bone, how could he help you improve to Spirit Bone..."

She still wanted to say more, but Zhao Mengli suddenly interrupted her, "Then, Master’s wife, do you want to have upper-grade mortal bone?"

"Uh."

Yin Qinghe seemed choked, paused, perhaps due to anger, her face began to flush, "You!..."

Didn’t want it?

Countless times she sighed before Zhao Mengli, lamenting the unkind fate.

Saying don’t want it now, that would be too fake.

Therefore, ashamed and angry, "Neglecting cultivation every day, look at yourself, already noon, yet listless, what is this..."

"Master’s wife, do you want it?"

"Daily neglect, obsessed with other matters, cultivation doesn’t progress, techniques become rusty, continuing this way, when can you become an Alchemist..."

"Master’s wife, you..."

"You what?!"

Yin Qinghe, furious, her chest heaving continuously, as if ready to burst forth for air.

"Master’s wife, you told Li’Er, if you can obtain upper-grade mortal bone, regardless of what it takes, you are willing..." Zhao Mengli continued, ignoring her anger.

"Bang!"

Eventually, Yin Qinghe couldn’t stand it and directly flicked her forehead.

Speech couldn’t stop her, then resort to physical action!

As well pointed out her guilty conscience.

"Ouch!"

Zhao Mengli mournfully held her forehead.

Already red.

"Li’Er just wants Master’s wife to become an Alchemist..."

What ill intentions could she have.

Purely considering for the Master’s wife.

"Say another word!"

Yin Qinghe glared at her, pointed to the door, "Out!"

Directly expelling!

Some questions originally intended to ask couldn’t find the chance.

After Zhao Mengli left, she slumped into the chair, her expression turning complex.

She still couldn’t overcome the hurdle in her heart.

If...

If she hadn’t promised Zhao Mengli to Qin Yu.

Perhaps.

No perhaps.

Qin Yu is her disciple, Li’Er’s husband.

Don’t know why, she couldn’t muster energy, thus didn’t go to the Alchemy Room, perhaps to avoid seeing troubles, chose to rest lying down.

In a flash, half a month passed.

A Great Cultivator from the Immortal Sect finally arrived to oversee it, reportedly, an Outer Sect Elder.

This immediately stirred Lin Xian City’s cultivators to unrest.

Several people went to visit the Elder, including Cheng Yi.

Everyone visiting naturally brought with them heavy gifts.

Cheng Yi was willing too, sent something, unknown to outsiders, but reportedly, the Elder praised him for being considerate.

By rights, Yin Qinghe also had to pay a visit, and present a grand gift.

But...

Now Danxin Herb Hall barely could even gather next year’s rent, where’s the grand gift?!

Can’t possibly present the last savings, can you?

Without those Spirit Stones, no matter how good Qin Yu’s talent is, how good his root bone is, without resources, Impossible to break through to Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer within five years!

Truly having nothing suitable to present, yet can’t avoid visiting, putting one in a dilemma.

Just when Yin Qinghe resolutely decided to dedicate a portion to show respect, news from the Ruins Rift came, the Elder rushed there that very day.
