Meng Ke Draws Qi into Her Body

Shen Jingchuan stared at the five-colored light, and several thoughts raced through his mind.

It turns out that people on Earth, besides themselves, also have Spirit Roots. However, here there are neither cultivation Cultivation Methods nor any Spiritual Qi. Having Spirit Roots is just a waste; they can only be ordinary people.

He recalled the results from the tests at home, and it seemed that the Five Spirit Roots were indeed the most common type. As for whether there were better Spirit Roots on Earth, he didn't know. As long as Meng Ke had them, that was enough, even if they were only Five Spirit Roots.

He couldn't suppress his joy; he was even happier than when he himself broke through to the next level.

He is on the path of cultivating immortality, and with the help of the Heaven and Earth Ring, his cultivation level will only increase, and his lifespan will also become longer.

What he feared most was that Meng Ke was just a mortal who would grow old year by year and eventually leave before him—something he could never bear.

Now that she has also discovered her Spirit Root, it means that she can cultivate together with him, and the two of them can go all the way to the end. The stone that has been hanging in her heart for so long has finally been lifted.

"Jingchuan, say something! What is this thing?" Meng Ke shook his arm.

Shen Jingchuan regained his composure, took her hand in return, and looked more serious than ever before.

"Xiao Ke, remember what I'm about to tell you." He looked into her eyes and said, word by word, "This is very important, and you must never tell anyone."

Shen Jingchuan first took out the Spirit Gathering Formation Plate, raised his hand to open it, and an invisible layer of energy enveloped the surroundings.

He knew in his heart that there were probably no cultivators on Earth, but no one could say for sure. In addition, with modern methods of eavesdropping and surveillance, it was never a bad thing to be on guard.

Meng Ke watched as he pulled out a dark, round object, but didn't ask any questions; she just stared at him.

"What's wrong? Why are you so serious?" She met Shen Jingchuan's gaze, paused, and nodded emphatically. "Okay, I promise you."

Shen Jingchuan, however, had other plans in mind. Meng Ke would eventually have to be sent to another world to cultivate through that space. Earth had no Spiritual Qi, so it wasn't a long-term solution. She would find out about the space sooner or later.

But he still wanted to keep it a secret for as long as possible—not because he didn't trust her, but because things were unpredictable, and the fewer people who knew, the safer he would be.

Do you remember the pills I gave you and your mother at your house?

Meng Ke nodded.

"Um."

"I obtained that thing from a certain place," Shen Jingchuan said slowly. "That place is very strange, unlike anything on Earth. Think of it as a... secret realm."

Meng Ke was taken aback and looked at him suspiciously.

"You haven't been reading too many online novels, have you?"

Shen Jingchuan didn't reply. He raised his hand and flicked it, and a porcelain bottle appeared out of thin air in his hand. He gently placed it on the table.

"You still think this is a novel?" he asked, looking at her, "Or magic?"

Meng Ke stared at the porcelain bottle that had appeared out of nowhere, opened her mouth, but ultimately didn't argue further.

"... Okay, then you go ahead, I'm listening."

"That secret realm contains the legacy of immortal cultivation."

Shen Jingchuan picked up the Spirit Testing Stone:

"This stone is called the Spirit Testing Stone. It's used to test whether a person has Spirit Roots and whether they can cultivate. As you just saw, you do have Spirit Roots, so you can cultivate."

As he spoke, a thought struck him, and he took out a flying sword from his Ring. The sword left his hand and hovered straight in mid-air, then slowly began to rotate.

"If I step on it, I can fly," Shen Jingchuan said. "If you don't believe me, reach down and try."

Meng Ke was skeptical, but she reached out and grabbed the sword, pulling hard downwards. The sword, however, seemed rooted to the spot and wouldn't budge. She strained until her face turned red, but she couldn't budge it an inch.

"Alright, let go now, don't hurt your hand."

Shen Jingchuan smiled, and urged his Divine Sense again. The sword then moved and spun nimbly within the range of the array plate. The sword light circled the two of them once, and then came to a steady stop.

"Now, do you believe me?"

Meng Ke nodded vigorously, like a chick pecking at rice, her eyes wide open.

"Jingchuan," her voice trembled slightly, "You mean... I can do it too?"

"Of course." Shen Jingchuan sheathed his flying sword. "If you weren't capable, I wouldn't have bothered talking to you at all."

Meng Ke was so excited that she couldn't speak.

"Then, then what should I do...? Tell me, I'll do whatever you say!"

She grabbed him suddenly:

"If I practice this, will I be able to live forever and stay young forever? Will I also be able to fly and teleport?"

Shen Jingchuan looked into her bright eyes and smiled.

What you said is basically correct.

"Okay, calm down."

Shen Jingchuan held her down:

"Next, I'll help you Qi Refining. Once you've entered the initial stage, you can cultivate on your own. Calm your mind, don't think about anything, empty your mind."

The Spirit Gathering Formation Plate was placed in the room, its faint glow spreading out and enveloping the entire room. Shen Jingchuan pulled Meng Ke to sit on the bed, straightening her posture so that her legs were crossed.

"I'll teach you a set of Cultivation Method first. It will hurt a little during the process, so you'll have to bear it."

He looked at her:

"If you can't resist and give up halfway, then you really won't be able to complete the cultivation."

Meng Ke took a deep breath and nodded emphatically, "Don't worry, I'm not afraid of pain."

Shen Jingchuan said no more, pressed a finger to her brow, and slowly sent out his Divine Sense, injecting the Cultivation Method information into her mind.

At first it was fine, I only felt a slight swelling in my head. But as more and more things came in, the swelling and pain became more and more intense, as if something was trying to push my head open.

Meng Ke's forehead was covered in a fine sweat, but she gritted her teeth and didn't utter a sound, stubbornly enduring it.

Fortunately, it didn't last long, and the throbbing pain gradually subsided. Shen Jingchuan withdrew his hand and let her rest against the headboard for a while.

"Don't rush to practice. Calm down and try to understand these things properly."

Shen Jingchuan said slowly:

"This Cultivation Method is called the 'Five Elements Qi Refining Instruction,' and it's specially prepared for someone like you with Five Spirit Roots."

After a while, Meng Ke opened her eyes, her face full of surprise. The set of Cultivation Method seemed to be imprinted in her mind from birth, so familiar that she didn't need to memorize them at all. With a thought, the circulation routes would clearly emerge, as if she had practiced them for many years.

"Yes." She nodded. "I've figured everything out."

Shen Jingchuan took out two Spirit Stones and placed them in her hands, telling her to hold them tightly.

"For the first time, I'll guide you." He sat behind her, gently placing a palm on her back. "Don't worry about anything else. Just follow the path in the Cultivation Method. I'll lead the way and help you open your meridians. It'll be a little sore and swollen the first time, but it's nothing to worry about. It's much lighter than when I transferred the energy earlier, so don't fret."

"Good."

The two sat down one after the other. Shen Jingchuan channeled a wisp of Spiritual Power, guiding the nascent Spiritual Qi within her body to slowly circulate a Greater Celestial Circuit along the meridians of the Cultivation Method.

Meng Ke felt a warm current slowly coursing through her body, leaving her feeling warm and comfortable wherever it passed. After this cycle was completed, it felt as if every pore on her body had opened up, making her feel incredibly light.

The moment she opened her eyes, her face fell. Her skin was covered with a layer of sticky, grayish-black sweat, which also had a faint, fishy odor that was nauseating.

These were the impurities that had accumulated in her body from eating grains and other foods for over twenty years, and the first time she Qi Refining, they were all forced out.

"Go take a shower." Shen Jingchuan suppressed a laugh, looking her up and down. "Do you want... me to help you?"

"You pervert!" Meng Ke grabbed a pillow and threw it at him, her face flushed red. She jumped out of bed and ran to the bathroom. "I don't need you!"
