Spirit Liquid Distribution

Half an hour later, bathed in the dense spiritual energy, Yang Lingqing also successfully entered a meditative state. She completed Qi Induction an hour later.

The remaining Yang Linghu didn't take much longer, succeeding in Qi Induction within two hours.

By the end of the day, all three children of the Yang Family had successfully achieved Qi Induction.

This result far exceeded the expectations of Yang Guanfeng and Elder Yu.

"Back in my day, it took me a full three days to finally achieve Qi Induction," Yang Guanfeng said with emotion as he arrived at the pavilion.

Elder Yu chuckled, "The Family Head was already over twenty years old then, past the prime age for cultivation. Besides, the children's speed in entering meditation and achieving Qi Induction this time is largely thanks to the existence of the Spirit Gathering Stone."

As he spoke, he pointed at Chen Yang.

Chen Yang nodded inwardly at this, thinking, Indeed.

"This item has filled the pavilion with dense spiritual energy, allowing one to calm their mind and meditate more effectively."

"This spiritual treasure will be a great contributor to the Yang Family's rise. If the opportunity arises in the future, I will definitely use secret techniques to nurture and refine it well."

Chen Yang heard this and thought, Your idea is good, brother. I approve.

Four hours later, as dusk settled, Elder Yu stopped infusing spiritual energy into Chen Yang.

The three children also slowly emerged from their meditative state.

As for the results of this first day of cultivation, Yang Lingrui had completely opened his first Qi Meridian and was working towards the second.

Yang Lingqing was on the verge of opening her first, just a few more moments away.

Yang Linghu had completed half of his first Qi Meridian.

This outcome left Yang Linghu feeling somewhat dejected. He returned to his room in the forbidden area with his head hanging low.

"Hey! Tiger, what are you moping about here!"

Yang Lingqing, keenly noticing this, stepped forward and patted his back.

Yang Linghu replied listlessly, his face full of worry, "I've fallen too far behind you guys. What will I do in the future..."

"Look at you. It's a good thing Lingrui has already gone back to his room. Otherwise, seeing you like this, you wouldn't look like an older brother at all."

Yang Linghu shook his head and sat on the doorstep, propping his chin with his hand.

"Xiao Qing, you're right. I understand what you're saying, but my heart just feels heavy and uneasy."

Seeing this, Yang Lingqing sat down beside him, and they both looked up at the sky together.

"Tiger, have you forgotten what Ancestor Yu said?"

"The path of cultivation is still long for us. Being fast or slow at one point won't determine the ultimate achievement we attain."

"There are many influencing factors along the way. Besides talent, there are bone structure, comprehension, fortune, and even the ethereal destiny."

As she spoke, Yang Lingqing patted Yang Linghu's shoulder.

"Tiger, Lingrui is different from us. I think you can see that too."

"Just as the Old Ancestor said, we are all striving for the Yang Family. Look at our fathers. Although they can't cultivate, they can still share the burden with the Old Ancestor and manage the family affairs smoothly."

"We always have our own things that we can and must do. As long as we do our part diligently and to the best of our ability, there's no need to worry too much."

After Yang Lingqing's words of encouragement, the gloom and worry in his heart were swept away.

As if enlightened, he looked at the clouds in the sky, murmuring the words Elder Yu had spoken earlier.

"Be diligent, be hardworking."

"Mm, it seems you've figured it out," Yang Lingqing said with a smile.

"Hahahaha."

At this moment, Yang Linghu had regained his usual cheerful disposition. "No wonder it has to be Xiao Qing. You always speak so logically. You're amazing!"

Praise made Yang Lingqing a little smug, and she tossed her little braid.

It was at this moment that her face finally revealed the pure and beautiful look befitting her age.

From this day on, the three, Yang Linghu, Yang Lingqing, and Yang Lingrui, resided in the forbidden area.

All daily necessities and meals were provided by Elder Yu, who also guided their cultivation every day.

Chen Yang's task was also simple: show up at the pavilion on time each day to start gathering spiritual energy.

He would "clock out" when the time was up and be taken away by Yang Guanfeng, who would then bring him back to his room to nurture him with spiritual power.

He was already cultivating without any consumption in the pavilion. Now, with someone transmitting spiritual energy to him upon his return, the speed at which spiritual energy accumulated in his body was even faster than when he had the aid of spirit liquid before.

Speaking of spirit liquid, the spirit field within the forbidden area was still an unopened area.

The existence of the Four-leaf Spirit-Nesting Grass was known only to Yang Guanfeng and Elder Yu.

In their current view, the value of this spiritual plant even surpassed that of the Spirit Gathering Stone.

Of course, this was because they were unaware of Chen Yang's true background, just as they had previously assumed Chen Yang had come to life due to the nourishment of spirit liquid.

This was why they had to maintain extreme secrecy.

Regarding the future allocation of the spirit liquid, Elder Yu suggested that Yang Guanfeng take it first to raise his realm to Late Qi Gathering.

Afterward, the spirit liquid would be given to the younger generation.

However, this idea was rejected by Yang Guanfeng.

"I'm already this old. If I were to break through from the Fifth Level of Qi Gathering to the Sixth, it could be explained. But if I were to break through to the Late stage in just a few years, it would inevitably arouse suspicion. This method is not suitable."

At his reminder, Elder Yu also realized his oversight.

After all, these treasures were obtained from a secret realm. If they were noticed, and after the Earth Treasure Small Secret Realm emerged, how could anyone not be suspicious if the Yang Family patriarch, at his age, could break through realms consecutively?

"The Family Head is right. It was I who was foolish."

Elder Yu said, "Then, what should be done with this spirit liquid..."

"Give it to Lingrui. After he establishes his own branch, for my Yang Family to grow stronger, we need a cultivator in the Core Formation Realm to anchor us and achieve long-term stability."

After learning that Lingrui had the potential for Core Formation, Yang Guanfeng had already decided to do his utmost to help this child grow.

"Yes, Old Ancestor, I understand."

Ten days later was the day the Four-leaf Spirit-Nesting Grass would produce spirit liquid.

Much had happened in these ten days.

First, within the forbidden area.

Yang Lingrui had already opened five Qi Meridians, with the sixth one within reach. His speed was quite remarkable.

At this rate, it was likely that in just a month, this child could condense a vortex of spiritual energy.

Yang Lingqing had opened three Qi Meridians and was breaking through to the fourth.

Yang Linghu had just opened his second Qi Meridian.

The difference in their aptitudes could be clearly seen here.

However, after some guidance from Yang Lingqing, Yang Linghu's mindset was no longer an issue. He no longer felt annoyed by such differences and instead found it more motivating to cultivate diligently.

Outside the forbidden area, Willow Leaf Town had become quite lively during this period due to the opening of the secret realm.

Many small vendors had come from other places and set up stalls at the town entrance.

Occasionally, cultivators would enter the town to visit the town mayor, but they were mostly rogue cultivators with lower cultivation levels, mostly looking for lodging in the town.

Yang Guanfeng was also secretly observing the surrounding movements, confirming that no one had noticed the Yang Family within these ten days, which put his mind at ease.

On this day, he arrived at the spirit field in the forbidden area, took out a small jade bottle, and collected the drop of spirit liquid from the center of the four leaves.

Yang Lingrui, who was cultivating in the pavilion, was awakened from his meditation by Elder Yu and sent to Yang Guanfeng's room.

"Lingrui greets the Old Ancestor."

Upon seeing Yang Guanfeng, Yang Lingrui cupped his hands in greeting.

Yang Guanfeng secretly praised him as soon as he saw him.

As the saying goes, immortals and mortals are different. Yang Lingrui's demeanor had already changed significantly from ten days prior.

This was the subtle transformation that occurred after spiritual energy entered his body.

On his young face, which had not yet shed its childishness, there was already a hint of ethereal transcendence.

"Good, sit down."

Pointing to the futon in front of him, Yang Guanfeng took out the jade bottle.

"Drink this, then meditate and cultivate. I will guard you."

"Thank you, Old Ancestor!"
