Zhang Yu felt a chill in his lower back, and then something entered his Dantian Qi Sea) and began to "take root and sprout".

Zhang Yu was no stranger to renting Spirit Root; almost the instant he sensed the changes within his dantian, he thought of Spirit Root.

"How did a Spirit Root suddenly appear in my dantian?"

Immediately afterwards, he felt... that after the Spirit Root quickly "took root and sprouted", it spread throughout his entire body, covering every inch of his flesh and blood like nerves, as if it had always been a part of his body.

Even with his Passive Breathing Technique using the Heavenly Cycle Qi Gathering Method, these "Spirit Root" that had spread throughout his body also inhaled and exhaled, quickly attracting the Spiritual Energy in the air, which then swept towards him.

"Hiss!"

Like rain after a long drought, with streams of Spiritual Energy flowing into his body, Zhang Yu felt every inch of his flesh and blood desperately craving the incoming Spiritual Energy.

After all, for Zhang Yu, who had no Spirit Root but still wanted to Immortal Cultivation, his body was in a state of lack of Spiritual Energy most of the time.

At that moment, a surge of Spiritual Energy suddenly flowed into Zhang Yu's body, instantly making Zhang Yu feel completely comfortable. The circulation of his Level 10 Heavenly Cycle Qi Gathering Method became even more turbulent, stirring up the surrounding Spiritual Energy to rush in.

Zhang Yu's state immediately caught Bai Zhenzhen's attention.

In particular, she could vaguely sense that her Spirit Root was currently inside Zhang Yu's body.

"Did my Spirit Root go into Yu Zi's stomach?"

Bai Zhenzhen was slightly surprised. "What's going on? I wanted to lend it to Yu Zi to play with, but that would only be after he knelt down and begged me like a mother. How come your Spirit Root just ran over there on its own?"

Thinking of this, Bai Zhenzhen felt a surge of anger. She reached out and groped around Zhang Yu's stomach, trying to take back her own Spirit Root.

Feeling Bai Zhenzhen's hand stroking his lower abdomen, sending a ticklish sensation through him, Zhang Yu quickly said, "What are you doing A-Zhen! Stop touching me! You'll cause a traffic accident! We can't afford to pay for the damages if we kill someone!"

Zhang Yu paused, the Sports Car Legs slowed down several times, and finally stopped at the side of the road, where he put Bai Zhenzhen down.

Bai Zhenzhen, unwilling to retrieve her Spirit Root, said, "Did my Spirit Root go inside your stomach?"

Zhang Yu subconsciously touched his stomach and said, "Is this your Spirit Root?"

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Didn't that Evil God say... this is A-Zhen's own Spirit Root, not a rented Spirit Root? How could it have gotten into my stomach?"

The Wa Wa disguised as a rosary was also surprised. "This woman's Spirit Root can be transferred?"

Bai Zhenzhen naturally had no idea what Zhang Yu was thinking. After all, in her opinion, Zhang Yu probably didn't know the secret of her Spirit Root.

Now that her Spirit Root had already penetrated into the other person's body, Bai Zhenzhen simply stopped hiding it.

She nodded directly, then gritted her teeth and said, "This is Spirit Root I've nurtured for over ten years. Is it enjoyable to use?"

Zhang Yu wanted to say that it was indeed quite enjoyable, but seeing Bai Zhenzhen's annoyed expression, he didn't say it aloud.

He simply touched his stomach and asked curiously, "Why did your Spirit Root end up here with me?"

"Actually, I've had Spirit Root in my stomach since I was little." Bai Zhenzhen sighed, then continued, "This thing is different from ordinary Spirit Root; it seems to grow along with me."

"Even in the last two years, I've been able to gradually adapt and grow in different directions according to my own will."

"Like when you mentioned wanting to borrow Spirit Root last time, I was wondering if it was possible."

"And today, this piece of junk just crawled into your stomach!"

Upon hearing Bai Zhenzhen's words, Zhang Yu couldn't help but show a look of shock. "No... there are such outrageous Spirit Root?"

Bai Zhenzhen got angry when she talked about the Spirit Root jumping into Zhang Yu's stomach, and then reached out and groped Zhang Yu's stomach randomly.

Then a look of disdain crossed her face, and she clicked her tongue. "It's troublesome if it's not completely cured. How come you reacted after touching your stomach a few times? Do you want me to give you time to resolve this?"

"Don't you know how much Qi and Blood I have every day before you start touching me like that?" Zhang Yu suddenly felt like a good friend had barged into his room and found him holding a tissue in one hand and having the other hand inside his pants.

It was at this moment that Zhang Yu suddenly gained a profound understanding of Songyang High School's sterilization policy.

If they're not sterilized, and a bunch of Qi and Blood, grade-obsessed, and materialistic teenagers hang out together every day, how can their grades not drop after three years of high school?

Under Bai Zhenzhen's disdainful gaze, Zhang Yu retreated repeatedly, saying, "Don't be in such a hurry. Think carefully about how the Spirit Root got into my stomach just now?"

After some discussion and deliberation, Bai Zhenzhen asked Zhang Yu to carry her on his back again.

As Bai Zhenzhen hugged Zhang Yu from behind, constantly thinking about how her Spirit Root would return soon, she suddenly felt a warmth in her stomach. Her precious Spirit Root had returned.

With the return of her Spirit Root, a surge of Spiritual Energy rushed into Bai Zhenzhen's body, penetrating her limbs and bones.

"Hiss!"

She gasped, startled. "Why does this thing seem to be even more effective at absorbing Spiritual Energy than before? And it's even trying to reach places where I don't usually circulate my magic power?" But soon, her Spirit Root seemed to be readjusting to Bai Zhenzhen's physical condition and returned to its usual state.

A thought suddenly popped into Bai Zhenzhen's mind, "Could it be that after this thing entered Yu Zi's body, it actively adapted to Yu Zi's physical form and took on Yu Zi's shape... and then it changed?"

"But it recovered quickly and returned to my original shape... Was it because I didn't stay inside Yu Zi's body for long enough?"

Bai Zhenzhen suddenly became curious. "If time goes on longer, and the Spirit Root adapts more to Yu Zi's body... what will happen?"

Meanwhile, as the Spirit Root in Zhang Yu Yu's dantian disappeared and the abundance of Spiritual Energy energy subsided, a sense of loss welled up in his heart.

Just then, Bai Zhenzhen said, "Yu Zi, I'll try to transfer the Spirit Root to you again. Get ready."

The next moment, Zhang Yu felt the Spirit Root return to his body and sprout again in his dantian.

The Spiritual Energy in the air rushed into Zhang Yu's body, making him feel full and satisfied.

"As expected, Immortal Cultivation really need Spirit Root to be truly effective."

Although he felt very pleased, Zhang Yu understood that the Spirit Root in Bai Zhenzhen's belly was the key to making her stronger and getting into the top ten.

So Zhang Yu suppressed his reluctance and said, "Alright A-Zhen, take this Spirit Root back quickly, don't damage it by going in and out like this."

The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!

Bai Zhenzhen replied, "It's alright, I'll leave it here for a few hours. I have an idea I want to test."

"Ah?" Zhang Yu exclaimed happily, "Then... then I'll lend you the Talisman Book to play with."

"Give it to me!" Bai Zhenzhen reached into Zhang Yu's pocket and pulled out the Talisman Book. "My Spirit Root is worth at least several hundred million, so I'll leave this Talisman Book as collateral for now."

Then she patted Zhang Yu on the shoulder and said, "Hurry up and go to school, don't be late or Su Haifeng will give you a hard time."

So Zhang Yu carried Bai Zhenzhen on his back and ran all the way to school.

On the way, Bai Zhenzhen hugged Zhang Yu and leaned against his back, playing with the Talisman Book while occasionally telling Zhang Yu about the functions that the Spirit Root currently possessed.

Zhang Yu suddenly said, "It's always Spirit Root about Spirit Root, it's easy to get confused with other Spirit Root when we're chatting. Shouldn't we give it a name?"

Bai Zhenzhen was slightly taken aback. Since childhood, she had only thought about hiding her Spirit Root, and after entering high school, she would never mention the Spirit Root in her stomach to anyone.

Therefore, she has always referred to this Spirit Root simply as Spirit Root in her mind, since she herself certainly knows which Spirit Root she is referring to.

Hearing Zhang Yu's words, Bai Zhenzhen nodded slightly. "Hmm... what should we call him?"

Zhang Yu said, "This is your Spirit Root, so let's call it the Zhenzhen Spirit Root."

"How corny." Bai Zhenzhen pouted. "Let's just call it True Spirit Root. Oh, and when we get back, I'll tell everyone that I lent you the rented Spirit Root."

Bai Zhenzhen laughed, "Hehe, this further confirms that my Spirit Root is rented."

So, along the rest of the journey, Bai Zhenzhen continued to tell Zhang Yu about the various wonderful uses of the True Spirit Root.

Concealing Spirit Root, hiding oneself, accelerating Martial Dao cultivation, spotting weaknesses in actual combat, accelerating mana refining, and the Body Tempering auxiliary functions she has been using recently.

Zhang Yu's eyes lit up as he listened, eager to immediately begin his arduous training.

Throughout this entire process, including the conversation between Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen, the Evil God Wa Wa disguised as prayer beads naturally watched and listened to the whole thing.

Her assessment of this was simply... stupid.

"Idiot! Idiot! Zhang Yu, you idiot! With such a Heavenly Spiritual Root, you should just kill and steal it! I have a hundred ways to help you dispose of Bai Zhenzhen's body, and I guarantee you won't be discovered."

"With the help of this Heavenly Spiritual Root, let alone getting into the top ten universities, I might even have a chance to get into graduate school... no, I might even have a chance to Doctoral Entrance Exam!"

"If you don't act now, this woman might betray you later! How could she possibly tolerate such a shocking secret remaining in someone else's hands?"

But seeing the mutual trust between Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen, the Evil God knew that even if he spoke up, the other party wouldn't listen, and it would only increase Zhang Yu's dislike for him.

"Damn it, this is the inherent weakness of poor people. They always believe in such vague things as friends, feelings, and trust... These things are completely useless and will only hinder you from making money!"

"Money! Money is the most important thing!"

After returning to school, Zhang Yu skipped all the General Knowledge Class for the three years of high school, such as Chinese and mathematics, which he had already mastered. He also skipped Magical Power Class and Practical Combat Class.

Teacher Yan, who Magical Power Class, and Teacher Lei, who Practical Combat Class, are both old acquaintances of Zhang Yu. They know Zhang Yu's level in magic control and Martial Dao combat. The first year of high school courses are indeed not very helpful to Zhang Yu anymore, so they both agreed to his absence.

In this way, coupled with the physical education classes that were no longer offered, Zhang Yu was able to spend most of his day at school freely studying.
