After being reborn, I took my childhood sweetheart to cultivate immortality.

Yu Jinchen stared nervously at Xu Qingman and slowly asked, "Manman, I should have spiritual roots, right?"

"Well, congratulations, Jin Chen! Not only do you have a spiritual root, but you also have a rare single fire-type spiritual root." Xu Qingman was also very happy. Now, she was certain that Yu Jin Chen could stay with her forever.

Although Little Stone had told her before that Yu Jinchen should have spiritual roots, but she didn't know the extent of them, she was still a little worried.

After all, Little Stone had said that some people with too mixed spiritual roots wouldn't be able to cultivate anything in the current situation of scarce spiritual energy.

Now that Yu Jinchen's spiritual root had been determined, Xu Qingman silently discussed with Little Stone what cultivation technique they should choose for him. After some discussion, Xu Qingman agreed to Little Stone's suggestion and took out a cultivation technique called the Blazing Flame Technique from her spatial storage.

Xu Qingman handed over a jade talisman about the size of two fingers, "Jinchen, stick this on your forehead, and the cultivation technique will be automatically transmitted to your mind."

Yu Jinchen took the jade talisman and placed it on his forehead as instructed. He felt a series of unfamiliar characters enter his mind, but he was able to fully understand their meaning, which he found quite amazing.

In just a few minutes, the jade talisman in his hand slowly disappeared, but his mind was filled with many things he had never had before.

Like a child who has received a favorite toy, Yu Jinchen smiled at Xu Qingman, then followed the guidance of the cultivation method in his mind, sat cross-legged on the ground, and closed his eyes to cultivate.

Xu Qingman shook her head. The air in the city was polluted, and the spiritual energy was so thin that it was almost non-existent. She didn't know how long it would take to successfully cultivate Qi here.

She took out a small spirit-gathering array from her spatial storage and gently placed it beside Yu Jinchen. She then entered Yu Jinchen's room, closed the door, and vanished into her spatial storage.

"Mom, you've finally decided to come in and see your son?" Little Stone's slightly mournful voice rang in my ears as soon as I entered.

Xu Qingman looked at the little guy with a smile and teased, "Oh my, let me see who this is? Why does it smell so sour?"

"Humph!"

Xiao Shi turned his head away, not wanting to pay her any attention. He had been worried that something had happened to his mother since she hadn't come in so late, but who knew that when she called him, it was about that man surnamed Yu.

"Oh dear, baby, don't be angry with Mommy anymore. I know I made you worry. I didn't mean to. Yu Jinchen was in danger just now, and I didn't tell you in time because I was saving him."

"What happened to him? Is he alright now?" The little guy quickly turned his head and asked her anxiously.

Afterwards, Xu Qingman told him everything that had happened that day. When he heard that the two of them were in danger, Xiao Shitou was so anxious that he jumped up and down.

When she finally heard that the assassin had been taken to the police station, Little Stone flew into a rage, "How could you two be so stupid? He wanted to kill you, and you let him live! You're making me so angry!"

Xu Qingman smiled at him and gently advised, "Don't be angry. This isn't the Lingchuan Continent, where strength is respected and people repay kindness with kindness and vengeance with vengeance."

“We believe in the law in everything here. When we encounter such a thing, we have to hand it over to the police. Even if we encounter someone who is extremely wicked, we have no right to deal with it ourselves.”

"Okay, I understand." After hearing her explanation, Little Stone's expression softened considerably.

The mother and son chatted for a while longer before Little Stone returned to the nurturing tree.

Xu Qingman sat cross-legged on the futon, holding a spirit stone in her hand, and closed her eyes to begin cultivating.

Thinking about the dangers she encountered tonight, and the fact that Yu Jinchen had obtained the Marrow Cleansing Pill, she realized that there must be quite a few cultivators like her in this world.

Xu Qingman wanted to accelerate her cultivation. Tonight she had only encountered martial artists. If she were to encounter cultivators next time, it wouldn't be so easy for her to survive.

Little Stone had given her some spirit stones before, so she could use them to speed up her cultivation. She hadn't used them before because she saw that Little Stone didn't seem to have many spirit stones saved up, but now that she wanted to accelerate her advancement, she had to use them.

As for Yu Jinchen, she doesn't dare to give it to him yet. She's afraid that if she takes the spirit stone out of the space, the dense spiritual energy on it might attract some people with ulterior motives.

It turned out that using spirit stones was indeed different. The spiritual energy gathered in her dantian much faster than before. This time, her cultivation level jumped directly from the fifth level of Qi Refining to the seventh level, which was much faster than before.

Seeing that there was still time and that she could still use the spirit stones she had, Xu Qingman consolidated her cultivation.

After school started, she hadn't picked or eaten any of the spiritual fruits from her space. Thinking about the taste, she picked a few more of the jade spiritual fruits she had eaten last time before going out. They looked similar to ordinary green grapes, but the taste was worlds apart.

The Jade Spirit Fruit is soft and smooth to the taste, with a refreshing and delightful aroma. It has the effect of calming the mind and purifying the spirit, and can be of great assistance to cultivators. Moreover, it is also a key ingredient in the refining of the Mind-Calming Pill.

The Jade Spirit Fruit matures once every hundred years, and only one tree was planted in the space. Even though the time flow in the space is dozens of times faster than outside, it still takes two years for it to mature once.

The spiritual fruits ripened too slowly, and Xu Qingman couldn't bear to pick too many at once, so she ate some ordinary fruits in her space first. Although they were ordinary fruits, grown in a space rich in spiritual energy, they tasted much better than the multi-faceted ones.

She picked some of her favorite cherries and lychees, along with the Jade Spirit Fruit, intending to take them out to eat with Yu Jinchen.

When Xu Qingman opened the door and went out, Yu Jinchen had already finished his cultivation and was sitting there in a daze. When he saw her come out, his starry eyes shone with joy.

"Slowly, this cultivation is really good. I didn't sleep all night, but I'm a hundred times more energetic than when I've had a full night's sleep. I feel like I could go up the mountain and fight a tiger now." Yu Jinchen said, waving his fist to show that he wasn't lying.

Xu Qingman examined his dantian carefully and exclaimed in surprise, "You've actually reached the first level of Qi Refining? Having a single spiritual root is truly a blessing; you're practically a darling of the heavens."

She was even jealous of this cultivation speed. She herself had entered the first level of Qi Refining in less than a night while cultivating in a space rich in spiritual energy.

Sensing the frustration in her voice, he clenched his fist to suppress a laugh, reached out, and pulled her onto his lap. He smiled gently at the girl in his arms, his eyes fixed on her.

He pressed his nose against hers, his eyes smiling, and said, "I have to thank you for teaching me cultivation and for giving me such a wonderful technique."

The girl raised her chin slightly and said in a coquettish voice, "It's good that you know. You'd better treat me well in the future, or I'll teach you a lesson. You should know that I'm your senior sister now."

The girl smiled radiantly, her eyes crinkling into two crescent moons. Her bright smile was like a flower bud about to bloom, captivating all who beheld her.

His Adam's apple bobbed, and he couldn't resist taking her rosy little mouth into his mouth, savoring the sweet taste that was unique to her.
