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

That evening, after her family had all gone to their rooms to sleep, Xu Qingman entered the space again.

"Little Stone, Mommy's here."

"Mom, are Grandpa and Grandma asleep?"

Seeing her nod, Little Stone gestured for her to follow him. Upon entering the valley again, Little Stone waved his hand, and an antique-style courtyard immediately appeared in the center of the valley.

He told Xu Qingman that this was a magical treasure given to him by his grandfather. The courtyard could change shape according to the owner's wishes, and there was also a defensive magic array inside.

When encountering danger, as long as you enter, you can completely resist even a powerful expert at the Mahayana stage.

Xu Qingman stared at the courtyard in front of her with shining eyes, thinking to herself, "This is truly the perfect choice for both home and travel."

After following Xiao Shitou inside, he took out a gemstone from the inner room and said to Xu Qingman, "Mom, this is a spirit-testing stone. Would you like to see if you have the aptitude for cultivation?"

Xu Qingman said excitedly, "Me? Yes, I want to try."

Following Little Stone's instructions, Xu Qingman cleared her mind and placed her right hand, trembling slightly, on it. Immediately, two beams of spiritual light emanated from the spirit-measuring stone, and Little Stone threw its head back and laughed loudly.

He explained to Xu Qingman, "Mom, you have such good aptitude. You actually have dual spiritual roots of water and wood, only a little bit worse than your son."

Seeing her puzzled expression, Little Stone began to explain slowly to her, and she finally understood. To cultivate, one must first have spiritual roots, but very few people in the world possess spiritual roots.

Even in the cultivation world where spiritual energy is abundant, only one or two out of a hundred people can achieve this, let alone in this plane where spiritual energy is scarce.

Moreover, most people who possess spiritual roots have four or five spiritual roots. Even those who possess three spiritual roots are considered to have good aptitude in the cultivation world.

To possess dual spiritual roots, especially in such a place, truly makes her a darling of Heaven.

Xu Qingman then realized that she had such an experience in her second life.

"Then son, what kind of spiritual root do you have?" Xu Qingman asked curiously.

She had clearly heard Little Stone say that he was more talented than her.

"Hehe, I possess the best aptitude in the cultivation world, a mutated lightning spiritual root that is rare to find even once in a hundred years. According to my grandfather, at that time, there were only two people in the entire Lingchuan Continent whose spiritual roots could rival mine."

After saying that, the little spirit stone tilted its head and smiled proudly.

"Wow! Really? My son is such a once-in-a-millennium genius. My little darling is so amazing, Mom is so proud of you." Xu Qingman gave a thumbs up, showering Xiao Shitou with praise without reservation.

"Hehe, right? I think so too. But Mom, you still need to be a little more modest, otherwise you'll easily attract jealousy." Little Stone shifted his body awkwardly.

Then he took out a book and told Xu Qingman that it was the most suitable cultivation method for her spiritual root. He instructed her to hold the book close to her forehead, and the contents would automatically be transmitted into her memory.

When Xu Qingman took it in her hands, she noticed that the book's material resembled silk. Xiao Shitou told her that it was made from celestial silkworm silk, a common material in the cultivation world.

The book, written in large golden characters, read "The Pure Wind Manual." Following Little Stone's instructions, he placed the book on his forehead. Sure enough, in a short time, a wealth of information appeared in his mind, as if he were always meant to know it, appearing remarkably natural.

After discussing it for a while, the mother and son decided that there was no time like the present, and they would begin cultivating that very night. As for the other family members, Xu Qingman would help them test their spiritual roots once she reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

After discussing it, Xiao Shitou took out a small pill and asked Xu Qingman to eat it before cultivating, saying that her body had been eating food without spiritual energy for many years, which would somewhat hinder her cultivation progress.

Therefore, one must first take a Marrow Cleansing Pill to cleanse the marrow and refine the essence before one can achieve success in cultivation.

Xu Qingman swallowed the pill. It was cool and fragrant, and a refreshing and comfortable feeling rose throughout her body. After the pleasant sensation subsided, she suddenly smelled a foul stench all over her body and discovered that her entire skin was covered in a black, greasy substance.

Huh? Why is it so dirty? How come there's so much filth inside my body?

"Mom, go wash up in the lotus pond outside. The water there has a purifying effect," Little Stone said, covering his mouth and chuckling.

Upon hearing this, Xu Qingman quickly ran to the lotus pond. After washing herself clean, she changed into a robe given to her by Xiao Shitou.

After washing up, Xu Qingman felt a lightness in her body she had never experienced before. Her skin was also more supple and hydrated than before, and she was very satisfied with its condition.

After that, she didn't waste any more time. Following the technique in her mind, she sat cross-legged on the prayer mat that Xiao Shitou had prepared, cleared her mind, and slowly began to practice the technique according to the diagram.

Time flew by during meditation, and by the time she was woken up by Little Stone, it was almost dawn. In the spatial time, a week had already passed.

She seemed to have touched the edge of cultivation. Little Stone told her that it wouldn't be long before she could cultivate to the Qi Refining stage and become a true novice cultivator.

"Little Stone, Mommy will go out now and come back to keep you company tonight." After saying that, Xu Qingman lay back down on the bed.

Although she hadn't slept for a night, or more accurately, a week, Xu Qingman didn't feel tired at all.

It's so great to be able to cultivate! Not only do I not need to rest and my energy is even better, but I can also become more beautiful.

After lying in bed lost in thought for a while, Xu Qingman heard her parents talking outside. Since she wasn't sleepy anyway, she decided to get up.

However, after getting up, she followed her own heart and changed her robes into a pink dress. After putting on this dress, she never wanted to wear her old clothes again.

This dress is incredibly comfortable to wear. Little Stone also told her that it has an automatic cleaning function, so there's no need to wash it, and the style can be easily changed. Having this dress is like having countless clothes.

"Manman, why did you get up without your mom calling you today? Is the sun going to rise in the west today?" Xu Jingheng said to his daughter in surprise.

"Dad, you're so annoying! You make it sound like I'm so lazy." Xu Qingman hugged her father and acted coquettishly.

"Hehe, Dad's little darling is very obedient. I dare not say you're lazy, otherwise, when some people start crying, your mother will beat me up."

Thinking back to how she was before she turned eighteen, she was indeed quite spoiled. Her whole family was willing to pamper her, and even Yu Jinchen, the eldest son of the Yu family next door, was used to spoiling her.

Xu Qingman was truly like a fairy since she was a child, with a delicate and lovely appearance. Especially when she smiled at people, she could touch the softest part of their hearts, making people want to pamper her.

Although she loved to laugh since she was a child, when she cried, seeing her silently shedding tears always made people feel very sorry for her.
