Chapter 18: First-Class Genius



Ning Cheng took a deep breath, put his hand on it, and injected spiritual energy into it.

Then, everyone was shocked to find that all the squares on the spirit-testing plate were lit up!

The spirit-testing disk was already fully lit, shining brightly. It was clearly evening, but the room was as bright as day.

At this moment, the huge front hall was silent, with only the sound of someone's rapid breathing.

There are two situations where the full light is on. Either the magic weapon being tested is of top quality, or the cultivator being tested has reached the tenth level of cultivation.

Obviously, Ning Cheng does not meet either of the requirements, and this situation would not occur under normal circumstances.

"The spiritual energy displayed here is actually the immortal bone." Ning Zhishui explained to everyone.

In fact, she didn't need to explain. This abnormal phenomenon only proved that what she said was right.

Ning Cheng really has immortal bones!

"It turns out I'm not a waste..."

Ning Cheng looked at the spirit-testing plate in his hand, seeming to be laughing and sad at the same time, with a thousand emotions in his mind for a moment.

His experience is quite rich. When he was young, his family was delighted when he was found to have spiritual roots. His father even said frankly that he valued him very much and planned to cultivate him vigorously.

Because he not only has dual spiritual roots, but his comprehension is far superior to other children, and he learns things quickly.

During that period, he was constantly flattered and fawned over by his clansmen, so he accepted it all naturally and with peace of mind.

But later on, his spiritual energy began to have frequent problems during his practice. At that time, he thought that he had not mastered the key points of practice, and he studied hard and tried to adjust it. However, after many attempts, he found that this was not the case.

This problem was finally noticed by the family, and then there was a huge transformation from genius to waste.

The elders despised him and regretted having wasted resources on him.

His peers were proud and took the opportunity to step on him, mocking him for having come to this day.

The side branches or younger generations have also changed from fawning over them to keeping their distance, as if they don't want to have anything to do with them at all.

Ning Cheng had experienced the darkest moment. During those days, everything around him was far away from him. Even his own father did not care about the father-son relationship. All he had in his eyes was the word "value".

He was worthless and no longer worthy of his father's attention.

He had also felt sad several times about being "wasteful" and felt that he was really useless.

But now I know that this is the truth.

"Of course you are not a waste, and you will be a first-class genius." Ning Zhishui said with a smile, "Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you, when the immortal bone is successfully activated, Daddy, you will become a single spiritual root."

The appearance of the sacral bone is completely different depending on whether it is stimulated or not.

However, those few "lucky ones" who possess the sage bone are often silent when it is not activated, and are dragged down by the sage bone and become the unlucky ones.

"Single spiritual root... If that's the case, then my husband, your cultivation level will improve by leaps and bounds, right?!" Ren Muqing was full of surprise.

Ning Cheng calmed down and said, "It's too early to talk about this now. We should first inquire about the spiritual objects and see if there are any places that can sell them. Zhishui, do you know more about the news that the spiritual object will appear in the world in two months?"

"...Let me ask around." Ning Zhishui said vaguely.

If I go into too much detail now, they'll definitely get suspicious.

If you ask me how I knew this, it’s hard to explain.

"Anyway, I'll prepare myself first. When the time comes, I'll definitely capture the spiritual object for Daddy no matter what!"

"Husband, you must be careful these days. The fact that you have something wrong with your body must not be known to outsiders, so as to avoid endless troubles." Ren Muqing said worriedly.

Once the news of the immortal bone leaks out, Ning Cheng will become a hot commodity, and every cultivator will want to grab it.

This is really too dangerous.

"If someone really finds out, you can explain that you took the Great Transformation Pill when you were injured as a child, which is why you became like this." Ning Zhishui suggested, "Also, you must be careful when testing the spirit disk. If you haven't been tested, then others can't be sure whether you have immortal bones."

"At least Daddy will be safe for the next ten years, so there's no need to worry too much."

[However, the sooner we obtain the spiritual object, the better. After all, it is an opportunity to change our qualifications. After the immortal bone is activated, Daddy will also be qualified to ascend to the immortal realm.]

"Okay." Ning Cheng nodded.

The Great Transformation Pill has a certain chance of permanently increasing the speed of injury recovery, so it is reasonable to use it as a reason.

After hearing Ning Zhishui say that he would be safe within ten years, Ning Cheng finally felt relieved, and the sense of urgency as if a knife was hanging over his head finally dissipated a little.

"You guys, keep it a secret too. Don't tell anyone else." Ren Muqing said to Ning Chengfeng and Ren Fei, especially Ren Fei, "Fei Fei, don't tell Huaiyuan either."

Ren Fei hummed, "I understand, I know the seriousness of the matter."

When it comes to my brother-in-law's life, it's never too careful.

Ren Fei had no objection to this, and did not think that such words were disrespectful to Lin Huaiyuan just because he was her lover.

"That's right, mother."

Ning Zhishui took care of his father's affairs and looked at his mother. "Would you consider... learning alchemy?"

[Mother is very talented in alchemy and medicine making. She can definitely pursue the path of alchemy cultivation.]

Ren Muqing was stunned for a moment, "Me? Refining pills?"

"Yes, it's good to have many skills, right?" Ning Zhishui said with a smile.

"No, I'm not interested in any skills other than cultivation." Ren Muqing shook his head repeatedly.

When she was a child, she once saw with her own eyes that a furnace exploded while someone was refining medicine. She was so frightened by the noise that it left a scar on her.

So not only alchemy, but even refining weapons is avoided.

Ning Zhishui felt a little regretful when he heard this, but he didn't say much.

【Forget it, let’s take our time. 】

"By the way, sister, brother-in-law, I might go out to buy some Bright Moon Yarn tomorrow." Ren Fei said, "Huaiyuan will go with me."

Ning Zhishui's brows furrowed like caterpillars when she heard the name of that scumbag.

[Just hearing this name is enough. What on earth does my aunt like about him? ]

How can I convince my aunt to see his true colors? And that Shen Bingqing, these two will work together to cause her great harm.

My aunt is aloof and aloof, and she won't doubt her own judgment. I don't think she'll believe anything I say unless I can directly find evidence against them.

Ning Zhishui couldn't help but think of the ending of that couple in their previous life -

After they stole my aunt's precious bracelet, everything went smoothly for them, and they even became the leader and the leader's wife of a sect!

[Fortunately, I came to their door a hundred years later and killed them both.]

[But this still couldn't change the fact that my aunt became a despised witch and was eventually besieged and killed.]

How could Ning Zhishui not hate this!

Ning Zhishui, who lowered his eyes and was lost in his memories, did not notice that everyone in the room was staring at him with astonishment on their faces.

Ren Fei's hand holding the teacup shook, and water flowed out, scalding her and making her shiver.

But she seemed to have not come to her senses, and her face gradually turned pale.
