Jiang Peiyu put her hand on it first. The moment her hand touched the spirit-testing stone, a blue light burst through the sky.
A dozen seconds later, two rays of light, one blue and one green, also shot vertically into the sky.
Fortunately, Jiang Yingxue had set up a barrier in advance, so people outside the yard could not see this scene.
Jiang Yingxue said, "Not bad."
Recalling the book she had just read, Jiang Peiyao blinked and looked at Jiang Yingxue and said, "Could this be a spiritual root?"
"Sister Yingxue..." Jiang Peiyu also looked at Jiang Yingxue, with curiosity, excitement and anticipation in her eyes.
Under their expectant gazes, Jiang Yingxue looked at them and nodded, "It's a spiritual root. Do you want to practice?"
"Is it like on TV? You can call the wind and rain, and ride on clouds!"
"You can also travel the world with a sword!"
"Wow! I'm so excited just thinking about it!"
Jiang Yingxue smiled faintly and said, "After the Foundation Establishment stage, one can indeed practice the art of controlling swords and fly with swords. After the Nascent Soul stage, one can also rely on one's own spiritual power to soar into the clouds. However, most people use flying instruments."
"So, do you want to practice?"
Jiang Peiyao and her sister looked at each other and nodded heavily, "Yes!"
"Are you not afraid of hard work?"
"Don't be afraid!"
"good."
Next, Jiang Yingxue tailored a practice schedule for the two of them. Even during the winter vacation, they had to get up early to practice.
First, they were given a week-long herbal bath. The main ingredient was still Pan Jiao Teng, but several other low-level spiritual plants that could cleanse the tendons and marrow were also added.
Because they are young and strong, the herbal medicine they prepare is stronger than that of Lu Caiyun and others.
Secondly, their eating habits also need to change. The grains of the mortal world have turbid qi, and immortal cultivators are not suitable to eat mortal food. They usually eat spiritual food or fasting pills. High-level cultivators usually fast and do not eat anything.
Third, arrange cultivation courses during the day to learn knowledge related to cultivation.
Regarding the first point, Jiang Yingxue will guard them while they are soaking the herbs, and can provide immediate assistance if any emergency occurs.
Regarding the second point, when they were in Nanhe Village, they ate at Jiang Yingxue's house, and when they returned home, they ate vegetables grown by Jiang Xianping on the roof and balcony.
The seeds of these vegetables and the fertilizers used for daily maintenance all come from Jiang Yingxue's family. The vegetables grown also have spiritual energy. The chickens, ducks, fish, etc. all come from the Jiang family.
Regarding the third point, Jiang Yingxue was the course instructor, mainly teaching the basics of the immortal world and helping them to draw qi into their bodies.
Although the Xuehe Shopping Mall has not been completed, the grove of trees behind the mall is growing well and can provide shelter from wind and rain.
Jiang Yingxue built several houses there and used them as a place for cultivation.
New Year's Eve soon arrived, and this year's New Year's Eve at the Jiang family was particularly lively.
A house full of spiritual pets, smiling family members, and a sumptuous New Year’s Eve dinner.
The Jiang family had a reunion and a lively New Year.
Every household in Nanhe Village would set off firecrackers at their doorstep at exactly midnight, and Jiang Yingxue's family was no exception.
As soon as 12 o'clock arrived, the sound of "crackling" rang out continuously, and the sound of firecrackers and fireworks lit up the new year.
Jiang Yingxue gave red envelopes and gifts to her pets and her only divine beast.
The red envelopes were all worth 100,000 yuan, and the gifts for the spirit pets were thousand-year-old spirit milk, spirit-gathering pills, and healing pills. In addition to these, Xiao Zhao also had a cotton cloud bed.
On the second day of the New Year, I go back to my parents' home.
He Siqin's belly is a little big, and she didn't come back this year because she spent the New Year in Y City.
Jiang Mingzhen and He Minsha came to the Jiang family early in the morning with gifts.
The Jiang family currently only had Jiang Xianzheng and his wife, Jiang Yingxue, Xiao Zhao, and Xiao Kui. The other spirit pets had gone out to play and would probably be back before work.
Xiao Zhao and Xiao Kui were young, too simple-minded, and couldn't transform yet. Jiang Yingxue was worried about them going out, so she kept them both at home.
He Minsha put down the gift, said hello to Jiang Xianzheng and the others, and ran to the kitchen and the yard.
How can the New Year be complete without fresh chicken? Jiang Yingxue and her grandmother killed chickens in the yard. When He Minsha and the others arrived, the job of killing chickens was handed over to He Minsha, with Jiang Yingxue helping him.
Jiang Mingzhen gave Jiang Yingxue a red envelope and said, "Happy New Year! Auntie wishes you a prosperous business and good health!"
"Thank you, auntie!" Jiang Yingxue accepted the red envelope and gave Jiang Mingzhen a bag of gifts in return.
There were two wooden boxes in the paper bag. The first box contained two ripe dragon scale fruits; the other box contained two jade pendants, and under the jade pendants were two books about cultivating immortals.
Jiang Yingxue said, "Aunt, I wish you and Uncle a healthy and happy new year! All the best!"
"Remember to eat the fruit in here. One dragon scale fruit can add 100 years to your lifespan. You can only eat one at a time. Eating more will have the same effect."
Jiang Mingzhen smiled and said, "Okay, okay, your uncle and I will remember it."
Even though Jiang Yingxue looked serious, Jiang Mingzhen still thought she was joking. How could there be a fruit that could add 100 years to your lifespan if you ate one? It wasn't an immortal fruit.
Jiang Yingxue had previously secretly used the Spirit Test Stone to test their spiritual roots. Unfortunately, including He Siqin, Jiang Mingzhen's family were ordinary people without spiritual roots.
Spiritual roots are the entrance ticket to cultivating immortals. Without spiritual roots, one cannot enter the door to cultivating immortals.
This is an eternal rule that even a high-level cultivator like Jiang Yingxue cannot change.
Unless there is a Soul-Shaping Fruit, but the Soul-Shaping Fruit is extremely rare, and Jiang Yingxue has only heard of it but has never seen it.
Some evil cultivators will deprive others of their spiritual roots and install them in their own people so that their own people can practice.
This act is against the will of heaven and cannot be tolerated by the world. Even if you succeed in depriving them of their power temporarily, once discovered, you will die at the hands of righteous people.
Even if they are not discovered by the righteous monks, they cannot escape the eyes of heaven and will eventually be destroyed by the thunder from heaven.
After a hearty lunch, Lu Caiyun and her daughter were chatting.
Lu Caiyun also knew that her daughter's family had no spiritual roots. She was sad and regretful, but she also knew that cultivation could not be forced.
She said, "You must eat the fruit Yingxue gave you. You don't have to save any for Siqin. We've prepared some for Siqin too, and we'll give it to her when she comes back."
Jiang Mingzhen was slightly surprised. "Mom, it's just two pieces of fruit. Are you two taking it too seriously?"
Lu Yuncai glanced at her meaningfully, "Didn't Yingxue tell you that this fruit can prolong your life?"
"I said it would increase your lifespan by 100 years, but that's just a joke."
"I'm not kidding, this is real. The world is huge, so huge that it's unimaginable." Lu Caiyun looked at the expression on her daughter's face and knew that she hadn't listened. "Why don't you eat this dragon scale fruit now?"
Jiang Mingzhen repeated her mother's words, "Are you kidding? Eating now? This can't be true."
