Chapter 68: Cultivation Returns

After hearing this, Su Qingwu was silent for a while.

She couldn't say much about other people's family affairs.

At this time, Sun Ruolan continued:

"My father is a casual cultivator. Although his strength is not high, he is only at the fourth level of Qi Refining, but I am not his opponent yet. I thought that when my cultivation level is improved in the future, I will go to see my mother secretly.

If at that time, my mother is willing to go with me, then I will take her away from him forever. As for the grace of raising me, to be fair, from childhood to adulthood, it has always been my mother who has been with me, and my father is often missing for ten days or half a month.

Sun Hui was originally his illegitimate child with another woman. My mother was generous and treated him as her own son. I also wanted to get along well with him, but he had evil intentions. He deserved this fate. It was all his own fault!"

Su Qingwu saw the hatred in Sun Ruolan's eyes, hesitated for a moment, and reminded her softly.

"Junior Sister Sun, try not to let this matter affect your mood for a long time, otherwise it will easily breed inner demons, which will be detrimental to your Tao heart."

"Thank you for your reminder, Senior Sister. Ruolan understands. Since the incident happened recently, it has not yet calmed down. Ruolan will not always be like this."

Having said this, Sun Ruolan closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, the hatred in her eyes had dissipated a little.

"Senior Sister Su, do you think my future plans are reasonable?"

"For things like this, just follow your heart and don't worry about what others think."

"But...I want to hear your advice."

For Sun Ruolan, Su Qingwu saved her life and she trusted him very much.

Now, she is a little confused when faced with such a thing. Although she has a plan in mind, she has not made up her mind to do it.

During this period, if someone she trusts offers reasonable ideas, she will definitely listen carefully.

Su Qingwu heard her say this, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke carefully:

“Junior sister, if you have enough strength in the future, you can try to investigate the specific process of your parents going to the Floating Cloud Sect to see if there is any possibility of being instigated and deceived by someone maliciously, and confirm whether there is any misunderstanding.

If there is, after the misunderstanding is resolved, your father's attitude remains the same, or if there was no misunderstanding at all, then Junior Sister can act according to the original plan. Otherwise, I will make a decision based on the specific situation."

"Thank you for your advice, Senior Sister. Ruolan has made note of it."

The two continued chatting for a few more sentences, and Sun Ruolan's mentality changed a little, and her condition gradually improved.

......

After a stick of incense, Su Qingwu returned to the Yuqing Mirror space.

Sun Ruolan's affairs had no impact on her, and she quickly devoted herself to cultivation.

The spiritual water stored in the mysterious stone bottle is filled up every seven days as usual, and is used to water the spiritual plants.

Spring went and autumn came, and ten months passed in the blink of an eye.

In the thousands of acres of spiritual fields, many spiritual plants that have matured in a year can now be harvested.

Water pepper, ground mulberry, frost grass, wood ridge flower...a total of nine types.

A total of 1,532 plants were irrigated with mason jars, of which 659 were of perfect quality, a relatively high proportion.

Not only that, among these mature spiritual plants, there are also very rare mutant varieties.

When Su Qingwu was planting Huiling herbs in the bluestone courtyard, he came across one. After harvesting it, his cultivation level directly increased by one tenth of his current realm.

Now there are six mutated spiritual plants in total. She doesn't know whether the effect will be the same, so she tries to pull one out first.

At this moment, a large amount of rich spiritual energy surged into the meridians of the whole body from the palm of the right hand that touched the spiritual plant.

Su Qingwu quickly recited the corresponding mantras silently to speed up the absorption of spiritual energy and guide it to slowly gather in Dantian.

The harvest this time, the cultivation level gained was exactly one tenth of the current realm, exactly the same as before.

Then I harvested the second mutant spiritual plant. The effect was slightly different, but it still gave me more cultivation...

After Su Qingwu's cultivation reached the seventh level of Qi Refining, he had already accumulated a certain amount of energy after a long period of meditation and cultivation. Now that he has successively harvested mutated spiritual plants, his spiritual power has increased rapidly.

After all six plants were harvested, the eighth cyclone of spiritual energy had already taken shape in Dantian.

He continued to harvest spiritual plants of ordinary perfect quality. By the 30th plant, the fluctuations of Su Qingwu's spiritual energy suddenly became much more intense.

This is a sign that your cultivation is about to break through.

She immediately returned to the bamboo house, closed her eyes, calmed her mind, and sat cross-legged in meditation.

As time went by, his aura gradually became stable, the eighth cyclone in his dantian was completely condensed, and his cultivation successfully broke through to the eighth level of Qi Refining!

After meditating for a while and consolidating his state of mind, Su Qingwu walked back to the spiritual field and continued to harvest the remaining spiritual plants.

There were 629 perfect quality plants left, and she picked them one by one. After a while, she frowned and paused her actions.

Su Wen noticed something was wrong, and quickly came over, squatted down, and asked in a gentle voice:

"Qingwu, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with the spiritual plant?"

"No, it's cultivation..."

"Cultivation? Although you have just achieved a breakthrough, from my perception, your realm is very stable, there is no problem."

"I mean the return of my cultivation. Although I have never explicitly mentioned this before, you should already know that every time I harvest these spiritual plants, my cultivation improves a lot."

"Yes, I was really surprised when I first heard about this. You are reacting like this now. Could it be that there is something wrong with your cultivation feedback?"

Su Qingwu shook her head and explained:

"Before today, I always thought I had figured out the law of how cultivation would pay off, but just now, I discovered that everything was not what I had originally imagined."

"Can you tell me more about this?"

"Originally, I believed that after harvesting spiritual plants that mature once a year, the perfect quality could provide 1% of my cultivation. However, today, apart from the mutated spiritual plants, the cultivation provided by ordinary perfect quality plants has been fluctuating, and is very unstable."

“What are the lowest and highest values?”

"When it's low, the return is less than half of the original amount, and when it's high, it's almost double the original amount."

Su Wen hesitated and asked, "From this point of view, the total should be about the same?"

Su Qingwu pursed her lips.

"There is still a certain difference. There are more people with lower cultivation levels. This situation has never occurred before. I don't know if it is the influence of cultivation or other factors that caused this change."

Su Wen supported his head with one hand and said thoughtfully:

"Harvesting spiritual plants and gaining cultivation in return, the stone bottle plays a key role in this. Think carefully, has the stone bottle shown any abnormality during this period?"

Hearing this, Su Qingwu concentrated on recalling for a long time. Just as he was about to shake his head to deny it, he remembered something the next moment.

"When you were fighting the gray mist that emerged from the jade statue, the enemy launched a sound attack. I was not careful at the time and my sea of ​​consciousness was severely damaged. The reason I was not seriously injured was because the stone bottle emitted a spiritual light that quickly healed my injuries."

After hearing this, Su Wen said thoughtfully:

"If that's the case, then it makes sense. This treasure recognized you as its master, sensed that you were injured, and spontaneously began to heal you. However, this treatment cannot be without cost. I guess it was a heavy burden on the stone bottle itself, so the current situation has occurred."
