Looking at the yellow-brown root, Liu Yunche turned helplessly to Qinglü, High Cultivator, and tried to decline. "Could there be some mistake?"
Liu Wangzhou grew thoughtful. Liu Yunche had denied it twice, and there was also that secret art of his that could devour objects...
Could it be...
But Qinglü gave Liu Wangzhou no time to think further. She said softly to Liu Yunche, "Just stand still."
As her words fell, she tapped the root with her right hand and drew out a strand of yellow-brown spiritual light visible to the naked eye.
The light wound around Qinglü's slender fingers. When her fingertip touched the faint golden radiance at Liu Yunche's chest, the yellow-brown light scattered and clung to the gold.
A sudden yearning rose in Liu Yunche's heart.
The next moment, the faint golden radiance absorbed every trace of the yellow-brown light. A gentle warmth welled up inside Liu Yunche, nourishing every limb and bone.
Delight shone in Qinglü's eyes at the sight. She rejoiced inwardly:
He really does have a Spirit Physique.
Her fingers kept moving, drawing spiritual energy from the Crimson Sun Tree Root. It flowed toward Liu Yunche, who absorbed it all.
Taking in so much spiritual energy at once left Liu Yunche's face flushed red.
He paid no heed to Qinglü and Liu Wangzhou beside him. He assumed the Dragon-Imprisoning Stance and began refining the sudden influx of energy.
His flesh, sinews, and bones roared, turning into a vast millstone of flesh and blood. Refining just one strand of spiritual energy ground over muscles he had yet to temper again and again.
Liu Yunche looked at the cultivation entry on his status panel.

"This..." Liu Yunche froze, his mind reeling. *Just one strand of spiritual energy raised
