Longevity: Starting with an infant's innate growth potential

Chapter 12 Little Rich Girl Wang Xin

"Where did you put the spirit stones? Hand them over now."

"I didn't steal your spirit stones!"

"If you didn't steal it, then who did?"

"Exactly, if you didn't steal it, who else could it be?"

"Don't think I don't know, you stole the spirit fish from the lake."

······.

His tone was mocking and disdainful.

As soon as Zhou Ling entered the lounge, he saw the corridor.

Yuan Hu was pinned down by two strong children, while Zheng Youwei squatted down beside him, pinching his nose.

Yuan Hu's face flushed red. When he saw Zhou Ling, he hurriedly shouted, "Brother Ling, I really didn't steal his spirit stones."

After saying that, Yuan Hu's eyes reddened, and he almost cried.

Seeing Yuan Hu's helpless and wronged expression, Zhou Ling knew he needed to do something.

Over the past four months, he has gained a general understanding of Yuan Hu, finding him to be honest and simple by nature.

It's unlikely they would steal someone else's spirit stones.

So he walked over and shouted in a very authoritative manner, "Stop it, all of you!"

[You are roaring, Roar +1, Sonic Wave +1]

[Total number of roars: 1072/1]

Through three months of unremitting efforts, the [Roar] talent has been successfully activated.

Zhou Ling's angry shout was loud and forceful, so much so that all the children present hurriedly covered their ears with their hands.

For a moment, everyone was stunned.

Only Yuan Hu was quick-witted; he hurriedly broke free from the two men's restraints and nimbly ran to Zhou Ling's side.

The noise quickly subsided, and seeing the other children looking at Zhou Ling with fear, Zheng Youwei became furious and pointed at Zhou Ling, "Zhou Ling, this kid stole my spirit stones, and you're still protecting him? Did you instigate him?!"

Zhou Ling stared at him, stunned for a moment. These scions of noble families were indeed very shrewd.

At such a young age, he already knows how to scheme.

"Brother Ling, he's wronging me! I've never even seen his spirit stones!"

Yuan Hu hurriedly shouted.

Zhou Ling nodded, looked at Zheng Youwei, and shouted sharply, "What evidence do you have to prove that Yuan Hu stole it?"

To teach the other party a lesson, he deliberately raised his voice.

[You are roaring, Roar +1, Sonic Wave +1]

And this drink was indeed effective.

Even Zheng Youwei, who had opened seven spiritual acupoints, was so frightened that he fell to the ground.

He stood up, his face ashen, and glared at Zhou Ling, saying resentfully, "Who else could it be but him? I advise you to mind your own business!"

"The lounge is for you to rest, not for fighting and making noise!"

"No matter what your business is, disturbing the other disciples' rest like this is wrong."

"Now they're all being made to stand in the dorm as punishment until the end of lunch break."

"Zhou Ling's reward from the academy this month is cancelled!"

At that moment, a stern voice rang out.

Liu Yan walked in with a serious expression.

Everyone was startled and no one dared to utter a sound.

Zhou Ling knew that explaining now would be useless, so he remained silent and left the lounge first, standing behind the school building.

I didn't expect the instructors to arrive so quickly.

He wasn't afraid of being punished by standing, but the thought of losing his bonus this month was heartbreaking.

Over the past few months, he has worked tirelessly and consistently ranked among the top performers in every assessment.

Liu Yan also applied for a Taoist academy reward for him, which would allow him to receive one low-grade spirit stone each month.

Although it's not much, it's enough to cover household expenses.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ling felt a pang of sadness and couldn't help but sigh, blaming herself for being too impulsive.

Now I want to help earn money, but I'm still young, and it seems like it's a long way off. Even the monthly reward of this spirit stone isn't enough for my mother to buy me spiritual food.

To supplement the family income, the mother now has to work as a hired hand at a restaurant near their home.

Every day, they also have to collect and dry the medicinal herbs, and pick themselves up and drop them off.

He was so busy that he became increasingly haggard.

Before his injuries had fully healed, his father went back into the mountains.

Thinking about this, he felt uneasy and wished he could grow up quickly.

Wang Xin was also caught in the crossfire and silently followed behind Zhou Ling.

"Brother Ling, I'm so sorry, it's all my fault!"

Yuan Hu apologized softly. Zhou Ling shook his head; this kind of punishment of standing was completely insignificant to him.

"Zhou Ling, this Qi-Harmony Pill... my mother gave it to me. It caused you to be punished, so this is my way of making it up to you!"

Wang Xin took out a small elixir bottle from her person and handed it to Zhou Ling.

When talking to Zhou Ling, she was less hesitant, but she still tried to shorten the conversation as much as possible.

"A Qi-union Pill?"

Zhou Ling immediately understood Wang Xin's meaning, glanced at the pill bottle, and looked surprised.

On weekdays, Wang Xin's lunches are always exquisite spiritual foods.

The price is definitely not cheap.

The Qi-Harmony Pill is a medicinal pill used by Qi-cultivation cultivators to aid in their cultivation.

Even if it's just a low-grade first-level item, it still costs several low-grade spirit stones.

Wang Xin gave it to herself!
"Is this from your house?"

"Yes, my mother is an alchemist. Her One-Dan-Patterned Qi-Harmony Pill contains no poison."

"I took one yesterday, but I don't need this one for now!"

"One-Dan Pattern Qi-Harmony Pill!"

Zhou Ling took a deep breath, her heart pounding even harder.

Because I read a lot of books.

He also learned that to refine a Qi-Harmony Pill containing pill patterns, one must be at least a second-level alchemist.

Pills generally contain erysipelas, so they are not suitable for long-term use.

However, pills containing cinnabar patterns are not only far more potent than ordinary pills, but also contain very little toxicity and will not have much impact on the body's meridians.

They are rarely seen on the market.

Ordinary independent cultivators simply cannot purchase them.

This first-grade low-level Qi-union pill, containing pill patterns, would cost at least twenty or thirty low-grade spirit stones.

even more.

Although I knew Wang Xin's family must be wealthy, I didn't expect them to be this extravagant.

It should be noted that Wang Yu picks up and drops off Wang Xin alone every day.

When he meets his mother, they chat and laugh together.

He has never revealed that he is a second-tier alchemist.

Even a Foundation Establishment cultivator would treat a second-tier alchemist with respect.

"I cannot accept such a valuable elixir."

"Besides, this is none of your business!"

Although Zhou Ling really wanted to accept it, after thinking about it for a long time, he still didn't want to take advantage of a child, so he could only grit his teeth and refuse.

"What's so precious about it? I have plenty of those at home!"

Seeing Zhou Ling's refusal, Wang Xin's eyes reddened, and she seemed about to cry.

"Well, okay then!"

"I'll take it!"

Zhou Ling could only brazenly say so.

A smile finally appeared on Wang Xin's face.

"I'll give this Qi-Harmony Pill to my mother tonight when I get home!"

Zhou Ling took the elixir bottle and thought to himself.

However, he quickly shook his head.

My mother wasn't the kind of person who liked to take advantage of others.

If she had known that these were pills given by Wang Xin, and that they were so valuable, she would definitely have asked me to return them.

After much thought, he decided to take it himself.

He immediately opened the elixir bottle and poured out a black pill the size of a thumb.

The surface of the pill had a textured feel, with a distinct cyan pattern.

"This is a low-grade, first-tier Qi Integration Pill!"

Zhou Lingxuan immediately swallowed the pill.

He then activated the Five Elements Breathing Technique to refine the medicinal power.

Soon, a stream of hot air flowed through the meridians.

[You are absorbing spiritual energy. Spiritual affinity +10, spiritual energy +2000]

With a muffled "poof" sound from inside the body, another acupoint was opened.

Zhou Ling was overjoyed; the pill was incredibly effective!
