The Ice Spirit Root Is Too Powerful

It was almost midnight when Shen Jingchuan pushed open the door to Bai Ruoli's room.

Bai Ruoli was still awake, sitting on the edge of the bed by the light of a lamp, with Qinghe beside her.

She knew her husband would go to Lin Qingyao's place first tonight, and she felt no jealousy whatsoever. She simply waited quietly, pouring all her affection into the long wait.

Hearing the noise, Qinghe quickly stood up and bowed to Shen Jingchuan.

"Son-in-law."

Shen Jingchuan nodded to her, Qinghe quietly slipped out.

Bai Ruoli then stood up, quickly walked to him, stretched out her arms, and tightly wrapped them around his waist. She raised her pretty face, her eyes shimmering with a soft light.

"My husband."

Shen Jingchuan's heart softened, and he felt a pang of guilt.

"I'm late, I'm sorry."

"No." Bai Ruoli gently shook her head, her voice soft and sweet, "I'm happy Ruoli my husband can come."

Before she finished speaking, she had already stood on tiptoe, tilted her face up, and kissed his lips.

Looking at Bai Ruoli, who was so sensible and treated him so well, Shen Jingchuan could no longer suppress the tenderness in his heart. He raised his hand to hold her slender waist, lowered his head and kissed her deeply, as if he wanted to make up for all the debts he owed her in this kiss.

Having been tormented by Yue'er earlier, Shen Jingchuan was already suppressing a surge of anger. Now, with Bai Ruoli clinging to him like this, that anger could no longer be contained and welled up all at once.

He bent down and scooped her up in his arms. Bai Ruoli wrapped her arms tightly around his neck, her lips pressed against his, refusing to let go even for a moment, her breath rapid and hot.

Shen Jingchuan carried her to the bedside and placed her on it.

Bai Ruoli was physically weak and could not withstand the strength of a cultivator. Even though Shen Jingchuan held back, she still couldn't take it for long and begged for mercy in a soft voice.

Afterwards, Bai Ruoli lay limply against his chest, panting softly and covered in a light sweat. Neither of them spoke, just quietly embracing each other, the only sound in the room being their breathing, neither wanting to move.

After a long while, Shen Jingchuan brushed aside the strands of hair that were clinging to her cheek.

"I've found a Cultivation Method for you, specifically tailored to your Spirit Root. You're happy to know you can cultivate it, aren't you? I'll pass it on to you now."

Bai Ruoli nodded gently in his arms, but refused to get up.

"Husband, no rush," she said softly. "I just want to lie on top of you like this. It makes me feel so secure and happy, and I don't want to get up."

Shen Jingchuan lightly slapped her pert buttocks.

"You can't have that kind of thinking. Since you've made up your mind to cultivate, you can't just slack off. Your Spirit Root is good, but if you don't work hard, even the best Spirit Root is useless, do you understand?"

Bai Ruoli rubbed the spot where she had been hit, looking at him pitifully.

"My husband, it hurts."

Shen Jingchuan looked at her coquettish manner and couldn't resist her, so he reached out and gently rubbed her skin.

"Alright, alright, it was my fault for being too rough. Come on, sit up, I'll teach you right away."

Bai Ruoli sat up as instructed. Shen Jingchuan glanced at her, his throat bobbing, thinking to himself that this was the same old trick. He quickly pulled out a piece of clothing from the pile of messy clothes by the bed and draped it over her head.

Bai Ruoli, pulling her clothes tighter, glanced at him sideways, her eyes flashing, her expression clearly saying—we're an old married couple, why...?

My husband still loves me and is infatuated with my body, just like before.

Shen Jingchuan, unable to bear the look in her eyes any longer, said, "Alright, you're such a little vixen, stop your Divine Ability right now! If you keep going like this..."

Having said that, she made a move to pounce on him, Bai Ruoli was terrified and her face turned pale. "Husband, I was wrong, I won't do it again, please let me go!"

"Alright, stop fooling around, sit down."

Bai Ruoli obeyed his Divine Ability, withdrew her supernatural powers, and sat cross-legged opposite him with a serious expression.

"Close your eyes, relax, don't tense up, and don't resist. Whatever comes to mind, just accept it, okay?"

Bai Ruoli nodded and closed her eyes.

Shen Jingchuan raised his hand, placed a finger on her brow, and slowly sent his Divine Sense into it, transmitting the "Profound Ice Soul Condensation Instruction" bit by bit into her mind.

Bai Ruoli felt a flood of information rush into her mind all at once: how to navigate the meridians, how to circulate qi, what the meditation posture is—it all crammed in at once, making her head throb with pain, as if it were about to split open.

She may look delicate and frail, but she is actually a very resilient girl. With her background, she has managed to get to where she is today step by step, and that's all thanks to her tenacity.

She knew her husband was passing on his skills and couldn't give up halfway, so she gritted her teeth and endured it without uttering a sound.

Shen Jingchuan's situation wasn't easy either. His cultivation level was still relatively low, and this was Heaven-Grade Cultivation Method, making the transmission extremely difficult. Sweat slowly began to bead on his forehead. It took him a full quarter of an hour to transmit the entire Cultivation Method.

As soon as he tightened his grip, he felt his mind go blank, and his face turned deathly pale. He quickly took out a High-Grade Spirit Concentrating Pill, swallowed it, and sat cross-legged to refine it.

As the pill dissolved, his depleted Divine Sense gradually recovered. Only after the entire pill was absorbed did he catch his breath, and his face regained some color.

Bai Ruoli opened her eyes and saw him sitting there, his face ashen, taking medicine and refining it. She was startled, opened her mouth, but then, afraid of disturbing him, she didn't dare to make a sound and just watched.

She knew in her heart that her husband had gone to such lengths to pass on this Cultivation Method to her, and that he had exhausted himself in the process.

But she couldn't help at all; she could only watch helplessly, feeling both heartache and pain, and her eyes slowly welled up with tears.

Shen Jingchuan opened his eyes and saw that Bai Ruoli's eyes were red, so he asked her what was wrong and if she was feeling unwell.

"No." Bai Ruoli shook her head, her voice still a little hoarse. "I just felt bad seeing my husband like that just now. It's all my fault. If it weren't for him transferring his power to me..."

Shen Jingchuan understood.

"Nonsense. I just used too much of my Divine Sense at once, but I've recovered now, it's nothing." He waved his hand, "You'll understand what happened once you start cultivating on your own."

Bai Ruoli looked at him with a mixture of belief and doubt.

"Didn't my husband try to comfort me?"

Why would I try to coax you?

Bai Ruoli then nodded.

Shen Jingchuan counted out ten Spirit Stones from his Storage Ring, first picking up two and placing them in her hand, telling her:

"This is Spirit Stone, containing Spiritual Qi. You'll use it for cultivation. Follow the method in the Cultivation Method to circulate your energy, and I'll watch you from the side."

After saying that, he took out the Spirit Gathering Formation Plate and placed it aside, then raised his hand and activated it. Bai Ruoli had never seen this thing before; it looked like a round plate with many strange patterns on it.

It didn't seem to move much, but as soon as the plate was placed down, the atmosphere in the room changed completely.

Shen Jingchuan placed one palm on her back, his Divine Sense probing into her body, leading her with a stream of Spiritual Qi, following the route of the "Profound Ice Soul Condensation Instruction".

Even Shen Jingchuan was secretly surprised when he started cultivating. As expected of Heaven Spirit Root, it was truly remarkable.

Bai Ruoli cultivates Heaven-Grade Cultivation Method, so the Spiritual Qi entering her body seems to find its home, flowing along her meridians into her Dantian and being transformed very quickly.
