Chapter 7: Distribution of Spirit Liquid
Half an hour later, under the rich spiritual energy, Yang Lingqing successfully entered the meditative state. An hour later, she completed Drawing Qi into the body.
Yang Linghu also did not take much longer, successfully drawing Qi in two hours.
By the end of the day, all three children of the Yang Family had succeeded in Drawing Qi into their bodies.
This result greatly exceeded the expectations of Yang Guanfeng and Elder Yu.
“Back in my day, it took me a full three days to finally draw Qi into my body,” Yang Guanfeng remarked as he walked into the attic.
Elder Yu chuckled, “Master, you were already in your twenties back then, past the best age for cultivation. This time, the children succeeded in entering the meditative state and Drawing Qi so quickly largely thanks to the Spirit Gathering Stone.”
As he spoke, he pointed at Chen Yang.
Hearing this, Chen Yang nodded in his heart and thought to himself: Indeed.
“This item fills the attic with rich spiritual energy, allowing one to remain calm and better enter the meditative state.”
“This spiritual treasure will be a great contributor to the rise of the Yang Family. If there is a chance in the future, we must use the secret method to properly nurture and refine it.”
Chen Yang silently agreed, thinking: Brother, I support this idea.
After four hours, as dusk descended, Elder Yu stopped channeling spiritual energy into Chen Yang.
The three children slowly awakened from their meditative states.
On the first day of training, Yang Lingrui had completely opened the first Qi node and was now making efforts toward the second one.
Yang Lingqing was about to break through the first Qi node, needing just a little more effort.
Yang Linghu had completed half of the first Qi node.
This result made Yang Linghu feel a bit frustrated; he returned to the forbidden area’s room feeling downcast.
“Hey! Tiger, why are you looking so glum?”
Yang Lingqing keenly noticed and stepped forward to pat his back.
Yang Linghu, feeling weak and gloomy, said, “I’m falling 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, how will you look like an older brother?”
Yang Linghu shook his head and sat on the doorstep, resting his chin on his hand.
“Little Qing, you make a good point, and I understand it, but I just feel a bit stuck inside; I can’t shake it off.”
Seeing this, Yang Lingqing sat down beside him, and the two looked up at the sky together.
“Tiger, do you forget Elder Yu’s words?”
“The path of cultivation is long for us; a moment’s speed or slowness won’t determine the achievements we end up with.”
“There are many influencing factors along the way, besides talent—root bones, comprehension, luck, and even that ethereal fate all play a part.”
As she spoke, Yang Lingqing patted Yang Linghu’s shoulder.
“Tiger, Lingrui is different from us; I’m sure you can see it too.”
“Just as Elder said, we are all fighting for the Yang Family. Look at our fathers; although they do not have the methods of cultivation, they can still help Elder Yu and manage our household well.”
“We each have our own things we can do and need to do. As long as we do our part and try our best, there’s no need to worry too much.”
After Yang Lingqing’s guidance, the gloomy thoughts that had been weighing on Yang Linghu’s heart vanished.
He gazed at the clouds in the sky, murmuring the words Elder Yu had said earlier.
“Be diligent, be hardworking.”
“Hmm, it seems you’ve figured it out,” Yang Lingqing replied with a smile.
“Hahaha.”
At this moment, Yang Linghu regained his usual cheerfulness. “That’s why we need Little Qing; she always speaks so logically. Truly impressive!”
After receiving the compliment, Yang Lingqing felt a bit proud and lifted her small braid.
At that moment, her face revealed a pure and beautiful expression, fitting for her age.
From that day on, Yang Linghu and the other two often resided in the forbidden area.
All daily necessities and meals were provided by Elder Yu, who also guided their training every day.
Chen Yang’s task was simple; he would go to the attic at the appointed time to begin Gathering Qi.
When time was up, he would finish his work and be taken away by Yang Guanfeng to his room for spiritual energy nurturing.
In the attic, he had already reached a state of effortless breathing, and back at the room, someone passed on skills and spiritual energy. The accumulation of spiritual power within him was even faster than when he had the aid of spirit liquid.
Speaking of spirit liquid, the spiritual field in the forbidden area was still an unopened zone.
Only Yang Guanfeng and Elder Yu were aware of the existence of the four-leafed spirit-receiving grass.
At present, they believed this spiritual plant’s value surpassed that of the Spirit Gathering Stone.
Of course, this was because they were unaware of Chen Yang’s background, just as they previously thought Chen Yang had been nurtured by spirit liquid.
Thus, they had to keep it a secret.
Regarding the future ownership of the spirit liquid, Elder Yu suggested that Yang Guanfeng use it first to elevate his realm to late-stage Gathering Qi before giving it to the younger generation.
However, Yang Guanfeng rejected this idea.
“At my age, if I break through from the Fifth Level of Gathering Qi to the Sixth Level, it might be explainable, but if I suddenly reach a late-stage realm in just a few years, it will inevitably raise suspicion. This method is not appropriate.”
Upon his reminder, Elder Yu realized the issue.
After all, they obtained the treasures from the secret realm. If someone noticed that the master of the Yang Family could continuously break through despite his age since emerging from the Small Secret Realm, how could it not raise suspicion?
“The Master is right; it seems I have been foolish.”
Elder Yu said, “Then what about this spirit liquid…?”
“Give it to Lingrui. After he establishes his own family, for the Yang Family to grow, we must have a Condensing Essence stage cultivator to ensure long-term stability.”
Having learned that Lingrui had the potential for Condensing Essence, Yang Guanfeng had already decided to do everything in his power to help the boy grow.
“Understood, I will take note.”
Ten days later, it was the day when the four-leafed spirit-receiving grass would produce spirit liquid.
During these ten days, many things happened.
First, inside the forbidden area, Yang Lingrui had already broken through five Qi nodes, with the sixth one nearly within reach. His speed was notably fast.
At this rate, he would likely condense a vortex of spiritual energy within a month.
Yang Lingqing had broken through three Qi nodes and was working on the fourth.
Yang Linghu had just broken through the second Qi node.
Here, one could clearly see the difference in their talents.
However, after Yang Lingqing’s encouragement, Yang Linghu no longer had any issues with his mindset. He did not feel troubled by the differences, but rather found motivation to cultivate harder.
Outside the forbidden area, due to the opening of the secret realm, Willow Leaf Town had become lively during this time.
Numerous small merchants and vendors flocked in from other places, setting up stalls at the town’s entrance.
Occasionally, some cultivators visited the town’s mayor, though these were mostly lower-level Loose cultivators, most simply looking for a place to stay.
Yang Guanfeng was also quietly observing the movements around him, ensuring that no one had noticed the Yang Family within the ten days, which put him at ease.
One day, he arrived at the spiritual field in the forbidden area, took out a small jade bottle, and extracted the drop of spirit liquid from the center of the four leaves.
Yang Lingrui, who was meditating in the attic, was awakened by Elder Yu and sent to the room where Yang Guanfeng was.
“Lingrui, I greet you, Elder.”
Upon seeing Yang Guanfeng, Yang Lingrui bowed respectfully.
Yang Guanfeng felt satisfied upon seeing him.
As they say, the difference between immortals and mortals is evident; now, Yang Lingrui’s aura had changed significantly since ten days ago.
This was the subtle transformation after spiritual energy entered his body.
His still childish face exhibited a hint of ethereal clarity.
“Good, sit down.”
Pointing to the cushion in front of him, Yang Guanfeng took out the jade bottle.
“Drink this, then meditate and cultivate. I will protect you.”
“Thank you, Elder!”
