Chapter 42: Spirit Stone

Yun Canghai and Yun Feilong felt like their intelligence was not enough, and for a moment, they were completely confused.

Nine spirit bodies? What does that even mean? Why not just fly to the sky!

Although they were in Qizhou State, they had some knowledge, especially about the Lingtian Continent. It’s said that having two spirit bodies is already considered a genius, having three is a prodigy, and having four spirit bodies is one in a million.

It is rumored that in the Lingtian Continent, there once appeared the great Emperor Lingtian, who was born with five spirit bodies, a once-in-a-lifetime talent who dominated the world and became the number one person in the Lingtian Continent.

This is the strongest figure in the history of the Lingtian Continent and the only one to possess five spirit bodies; there has never been another.

No one on the Lingtian Continent has ever appeared with more than five spirit bodies.

And Yun Yi could actually open nine spirit bodies; what does that even mean? Even though he didn’t open them all at once, the power and imagination that nine spirit bodies bring to people go beyond limits, surpass understanding, and are even hard to accept.

So even though Yun Canghai and Yun Feilong were well-prepared, when they heard Yun Yi mention nine spirit bodies, they couldn’t help but feel dizzy and were speechless.

With nine spirit bodies, no one can imagine how terrifying Yun Yi’s future accomplishments will be.

Perhaps, he can create a true miracle and break the legend of Emperor Lingtian.

"Grandpa, Dad, what’s wrong with you?"

Yun Yi asked.

"We want to be quiet."

The two said in unison, looking as if they didn’t want to talk to him.

Cough, cough, cough…

Suddenly, Yun Canghai, who was sitting in a wheelchair, started to cough violently, and then he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

"Grandpa."

"Dad."

Yun Yi and Yun Feilong were shocked and quickly crouched down, one on the left and one on the right.

Without saying a word, Yun Yi grabbed Yun Canghai’s wrist and placed his fingers on his pulse.

Immediately, Yun Yi’s face changed greatly, "Grandpa, your heart is injured so badly?"

Over the past sixteen years, Yun Yi had kept busy waiting for the awakening of the Innate Dao Body. He had read countless medical books and learned a lot about the various rare plants and magical beasts of the Lingtian Continent.

To put it bluntly, nowadays, Yun Yi would be very skilled if he went out to practice medicine, so he quickly identified the key point of Yun Canghai’s injury.

"I should have thought of that earlier."

A trace of sadness and heartache appeared in Yun Yi’s eyes as he remembered the day Yun Canghai protected him from the old emperor’s Chaotic Thunder Qi. Although it didn’t take Yun Canghai’s life, it left him with injuries that were hard to erase.

"Ha ha, it’s fine. I’m getting old anyway. Every day I live is a gift."

Yun Canghai said with a smile. He hadn’t planned to tell Yun Yi about his injuries, wanting him to feel at ease. Now, however, his body was not cooperating and reacted at this moment, making it impossible to hide the truth.

"Yi’er, is your grandfather’s condition very serious?"

Yun Feilong asked with a frown. He was used to fighting in battles and was not skilled in medicine.

"Grandfather’s heart pulse is damaged and nearly depleted. If we can’t find a way to heal him, he may not live for more than three years."

Yun Yi said very seriously.

Three more years. Is this what fate has decided?

The grandfather and grandson are truly connected, one with a damaged heart and the other with his life almost over; they both only have three years left to live.

"What? Three years? Is there a way to treat it?"

Yun Feilong looked at Yun Yi anxiously.

"I have seen in ancient books about a rare treasure called Ice Heart Saliva. If we find it, it can help rebuild a heart and even provide grandfather with a great opportunity to get out of his wheelchair and stand up again."

Yun Yi said.

"Yi’er, there’s no need to struggle. It is not easy to obtain such a rare treasure. I have lived my life already."

Yun Canghai said quietly. He had come to accept life and death, and since the Yun family had a chance to be reborn, he asked for nothing more.

"Grandfather, don’t worry. I will definitely find the Ice Heart Saliva."

Yun Yi said with great seriousness. His true journey was just beginning, and he absolutely would not allow his closest person to fall before his time.

No matter how hurt Yun Canghai was, or how hurt he was, Yun Yi would try his best.

If this is fate, then Yun Yi will go against it.

Yun Canghai did not say anything more, but a hint of moisture appeared in his eyes.

It was a kind of pride, a kind of happiness, a kind of comfort.

With a grandson like this, what more could one ask for?

For the next few days, Yun Yi stayed by Yun Canghai’s side, playing chess, chatting, and laughing. Yun Feilong was busy with his upcoming coronation.

After Yun Feilong truly became king, Yun Yi would have to leave Qizhou State, so he cherished the time spent with his grandfather, and they lived a joyful life together.

Yun Canghai smiled brightly; he did not expect that many years later, when Yun Yi soared high, these days would be the old man’s happiest memories, but that is a story for another time.

"Yi’er, look what this is!"

Yun Canghai took out a crystal about the size of a fist from his chest and placed it in front of Yun Yi.

Yun Yi’s gaze fell on the crystal, which was clear and bright, radiating strong spiritual power, giving a very comforting feeling.

"Spirit stone."

Yun Yi said that spirit stones are extremely precious, and can only be used after reaching the innate realm.

Especially in Qizhou State, spirit stones are quite rare; even the royal family does not have many spirit stones. Given Yun Yi’s status, he had only seen one once.

"That’s right, this is just a lower grade spirit stone, but for a Spirit Cultivator, a spirit stone is a priceless treasure, an essential item on the path of cultivation, worth more than all the gold and jewels. Now that your Innate Dao Body has been awakened and you have advanced to the innate realm, you will need spirit stones for your future cultivation."

Yun Canghai said, "When a Spirit Cultivator enters the innate realm, their whole body undergoes great changes. When you open the Open Spirit Realm, you advance a level by absorbing Spirit Qi from the world or relying on yourself, but once you reach the innate realm, each advancement requires the supply of spirit stones. In Lingtian Continent, spirit stones are divided into lower grade spirit stones, middle-grade spirit stones, upper grade spirit stones, and top grade spirit stones. Qizhou State is in a remote area of the Eastern Wilderness, and the resources are scarce. Even lower grade spirit stones are very rare, let alone those of a higher grade."

Yun Canghai knew that although Yun Yi was powerful and advanced quickly, with the advantage of having an Innate Dao Body, he was still new to many things in cultivation. Since Yun Yi would soon leave Qizhou State and the Yun family, Yun Canghai wanted to make sure he shared some important things to remember.
