The little boy ate ten bananas in a row and only felt warm all over; he didn't feel any other difference.
Shu Jianyue shrugged and said, "It's no use."
Spiritual fruits are not omnipotent after all, but if even the spiritual fruits in the space cannot be changed, then it will be very difficult to change his physique and bloodline.
The little one immediately wilted.
Seeing this, Shu Jianyue rubbed his little head and said, "Do you want to go? There are many such spiritual fruits in that place, all kinds of them."
"Except for the Spirit-Soothing Fruit in the middle, you can eat whatever you want."
Once the Spirit Fruit is picked, it will be gone, but other spiritual fruits will grow again after being picked.
Shu Jianyue was still drooping his head, so he comforted him, "Although you can't evolve now, maybe you can evolve when your cultivation level is higher."
The little boy looked at her and Chong Jiu, and nodded after a while.
What else could he do? He had been waiting here for two hundred years, and he was tired of eating only nectar. It would be nice to change things up.
Shu Jianyue led him into the space.
Yan Xi and Yu Chuan were fishing by the Spirit Pool when they saw her come in, so they dropped their fishing rods and ran over.
"Mother, is it dangerous outside?" Yu Chuan asked most anxiously.
Shu Jianyue smiled and shook her head, pointing to the little boy and saying, "Mother brought him in, and he will live here from now on."
"You show him around and tell him about this place. I'll head out now."
She also wanted to take over the spirit stone mine outside.
It would be a shame not to take so many high-grade spirit stones with us.
Yu Chuan and Yan Xi both looked down at the little bean.
Yan Xi was instantly charmed by him, picked him up, and nodded with a smile, "Okay, Mommy, go ahead and get busy."
Yu Chuan had no interest in the little boy and pulled Shu Jian Yue aside, asking, "Mother, when can we go out?"
Shu Jianyue looked at Yan Xi.
Yan Xi had already taken the little boy towards the orchard.
She turned her gaze to Yuchuan and said, "Come out with me, but don't wander off, understand?"
Yu Chuan nodded immediately.
Shu Jianyue led Yu Chuan out of the space and stood on a pile of ruins.
When Chong Jiu saw that she had brought Yu Chuan with her, he couldn't help but frown.
Shu Jianyue didn't need to think much to know that he had taken the spirit mine.
Chong Jiu stepped forward, put his arm around her, and asked, "Why did you bring him out?"
Yu Chuan's lips twitched. "Dad, do you really not want to see your son?"
"Hmm, a little." Chong Jiu nodded, put his arm around Shu Jianyue, and walked towards the direction of the Boundless Sea.
My son is all grown up now; he's not as cute as he was when he was little.
"Mother, look at Father." Yu Chuan immediately complained to his mother.
Shu Jianyue twisted the moxibustion needle and said, "Speak properly, your son is still young."
“That’s right, I’m still small. If I were with a human, I’d still need my mother to hold me.” Yu Chuan immediately ran to Shu Jian Yue’s other side and reached out to take her hand.
Chong Jiu slapped him away quickly, saying, "But you're not an ordinary human, so you have no right to pretend to be weak."
“Even if I’m not an ordinary human, I’m still my mother’s son. What’s wrong with me holding my mother’s hand?” Yu Chuan blew on the back of his red and swollen hand.
Shu Jianyue glared at the two of them, amused. "That's enough for you two."
He then looked at Chong Jiu and asked, "Should we remove one layer of the seal now?"
Chong Jiu thought for a moment and nodded. Once the seal was lifted, he would recover five levels of cultivation and reach the True Immortal Realm, which would allow him to resist those with cultivation levels below the Earth Immortal Realm.
"Alright, we'll protect you. You should release the seal now." Shu Jianyue gestured for Yuchuan to go and guard the other side.
Actually, as long as she unleashes her spiritual power, Yu Chuan can stand here without any problem.
But he has to do something for his father, something to shut him up.
Chong Jiu sat cross-legged, took out the jade flute, and began to break the seal.
The energy within this jade flute is twice that of the previous items!
The heavy moxibustion removed a layer of seal, allowing the energy to circulate within the body. Most of it was returned to the jade flute, while a small portion remained within the body.
With the seal broken, Chong Jiu immediately recovered five levels of cultivation, reaching the ninth level of the True Immortal Realm!
Chong Jiu didn't open his eyes immediately. Instead, he waited until the energy had taken root in his body and he was sure everything was alright before opening his eyes to look at Shu Jianyue.
"Yueyue, this jade flute contains a lot of energy, twice as much as the previous one. I kept some for myself. See if the rest is enough for your breakthrough."
Shu Jianyue looked at him in surprise, "You can use this energy too?"
Chong Jiu nodded, "Yes, it can enhance my soul power."
"Then why did you give it all to me before? You could have kept it for yourself, just give me a small portion." She didn't care whether her water-based ability was upgraded or not.
Her cultivation level can be improved by consuming spiritual fruits, although it will be much slower, but it doesn't matter.
Chong Jiu stood up, put his arm around her, and said, "I want you to grow up quickly. What if something happens and I can't protect you?"
"Only when you become strong will no one be able to bully you, even if I am not by your side one day."
“My soul power is already very strong, otherwise the person above would not have only imprisoned me instead of completely destroying me.”
Shu Jianyue stared at him for a long time, knowing that what he said was true.
Thinking back, he hadn't shown any interest in her when he broke the first seal, so she believed him when he said the energy was useless to him.
She absorbed the rest herself, without feeling anything amiss.
In retrospect, it seems he had his eye on her back then and had started planning for her long ago.
Shu Jianyue's heart clenched. Seeing his reddened eyes, she, who was never sentimental, suddenly felt like crying.
Seeing this, Chong Jiu quickly raised his hand to touch the corner of her eye and asked anxiously, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"
Shu Jianyue shook her head, threw herself into his arms, and buried her face in his chest.
"Thank you."
Chong Jiu suddenly understood, chuckled, and said, "It's all my own choice, no need to thank me. Besides, we'll be getting married soon, so my future belongs to you."
"Yes, what's mine is still mine." Shu Jianyue laughed after saying that.
Chong Jiu smiled and lifted her small face, wiping away the moisture from the corner of her eyes, saying, "Yes, what's mine is yours, and what's yours is still yours."
"Hurry up and absorb the energy; let's see if we can't break through."
Shu Jianyue nodded and began to draw energy from the jade flute.
Before the energy had been fully absorbed, Shu Jianyue was about to break through, and the tribulation clouds had already begun to gather.
Shu Jianyue looked up, pushed the moxibustion aside, and then intensified her absorption of the energy from the jade flute.
Chong Jiu stepped back to Yu Chuan's side, gesturing for him to help his mother take the lightning strike.
Yu Chuan was naturally very happy to oblige. As the lightning struck, he immediately flew over, grabbed the lightning bolt, rubbed it a couple of times, and stuffed it into his mouth.
Seeing this, Shu Jianyue felt relieved and began to digest and absorb the energy.
Yu Chuan squatted down beside her to receive the lightning strike.
The lightning tribulation weakened with each strike, eventually just striking a few times in a perfunctory manner before withdrawing.
Yu Chuan had just finished eating and let out a burp. Feeling that he was about to break through, he sat down cross-legged and began his breakthrough.
