Fu Yunchen picked up the Marriage Tribulation mirror and channeled his spiritual power into it.
He wasn't actually sure whether the person who would appear in the marriage mirror was his Mu Run or Yun Chen's destined partner.
But he would try whenever he had the chance.
A blurry figure gradually appeared in the mirror.
As luck would have it, he happened to know him.
It was the ten-year-old daughter of the Prince of Shang—Jiufang Fengque.
Fu Yunchen sighed. It must be Yun Chen's marriage.
Because if Mu Run were to be reincarnated, she would only be five years old this year. If she were born into another body, she would surely have the memory of the name 'Mu Run'.
In either case, Fengque does not meet the requirements.
Fu Yunchen lay down on the bed, closed his eyes, and let the spiritual energy in the air actively enter his body.
This is the advantage of having a Five Elements Spiritual Root; you don't need to painstakingly absorb and cultivate it yourself. Just by lying down, the spiritual energy will come to you on its own.
Because he had already completed several cycles of circulation, this spiritual energy seemed to have a mind of its own, automatically transforming into spiritual power along with his previous cycles, and then entering various parts of his body.
Fu Yunchen was so frustrated, and having spent the last six days frantically searching for Mu Run without much rest, that he finally collapsed from exhaustion and fell asleep.
Suqing and Suyin were peeking into the room from outside the window.
It was obvious that the spiritual energy was vying to enter Fu Yunchen's body.
Su Yin transmitted her voice to Su Qing, saying, "So this is what the Five Elements Spiritual Root is. It's so easy to cultivate."
"The Five Elements Spiritual Root is also called the Immortal Root. That is to say, as long as one has the Five Elements Spiritual Root, one will definitely become an immortal, there is no doubt about it. Even if he is asleep every day, his body is still cultivating."
“Indeed, you see, even when he’s asleep, the spiritual energy is flowing into his body on its own. Plus, the sect leader opened his spiritual meridians, so fasting isn’t a problem for him.”
"If he focuses on cultivation, within a thousand years, our Qingquan Sect will have another immortal cultivator ascend to immortality. You deserve a great reward for being able to recruit him as a disciple this time we went down the mountain."
"Thank you, Senior Brother Sect Leader. You have no idea, at that time, the entire Imperial City was full of spies from various sects. I was really grateful to another one... Ah!" Su Yin's expression changed drastically.
"What?" Su Qing asked.
Su Yin replied, "There is another disciple with a water elemental root who is only ten years old this year. Thanks to her for giving me the information, I was able to bring Yun Chen to Qingquan Sect in time and avoid the obstruction of other sects."
"Go and bring it quickly! To have developed spiritual roots at the age of ten is an excellent talent. Don't let it be taken away."
"Yes, I'll go pick them up right away."
"Go quickly, go quickly."
...
Seven days passed, and Fu Yunchen asked Su Qing for a blessed spiritual land for secluded cultivation. Since this body could cultivate on its own and he could abstain from food and drink, he decided to let him cultivate on his own. If he had the chance to return in the future, he could possess the body again; if not, he could leave it to another destined person.
Su Qing was very satisfied with his attitude of focusing on the Dao and not caring about worldly affairs, so she gave him the best spiritual treasure of Qingquan Sect—the Sparrow Terrace.
Fu Yunchen set up a defensive array around the Sparrow Terrace, then lay down on the jade bed and closed his eyes.
He allowed the surrounding spiritual energy to penetrate his body, circulating according to the natural cycle, transforming into spiritual power to nourish his bones and meridians.
About an hour later, Fu Yunchen's soul left Yunchen's body.
Feng Que rushed over to Quetai.
Upon seeing the defensive barrier, he stomped his feet in frustration.
Xiao Gong followed breathlessly, "Princess, wait for me."
"Sister Xiaogong, Brother Yun has gone into seclusion."
"That's normal. Even a princess needs to cultivate. She'll have to go into seclusion sooner or later."
"But I want to say hello to Brother Yun."
...
Fu Yunchen woke up in bed.
Looking at Mu Run sleeping beside him, his suppressed affection overflowed, and he finally pulled her into his arms and kissed her lips.
"Run'er, where are you?"
Hearing the commotion, Yun Ruji, who had just entered the hall, happened to hear Fu Yunchen's whispered words of longing that instantly brought tears to her eyes.
Fighting back tears, Yun Ruji asked, "Didn't you find it again?"
"No." Fu Yunchen got out of bed. He hadn't eaten or drunk anything for seven days, and his body had become much thinner. He looked like he had been seriously ill, and his voice was also very hoarse.
"Not even a single clue?"
"Still on the Zhen Continent."
"Then she must be there. By the way, Long Qian took his ministers hunting; they won't be back for a few days."
"Hmm. Are Huanhuan and Tuantuan alright?"
"They are doing very well."
"That's good."
Why don't you ask Zhuangzhuang?
"Is it necessary?" He looked back at Mu Run, who had red lips and fair skin and was very healthy. Apart from not being awake, everything else was fine.
And Mu Runhao, that child is naturally no less than good.
"Sigh!" Yun Ruji knew that Fu Yunchen would never forgive that child until he found Mu Run.
"Zhuangzhuang comes to see you every day."
Fu Yunchen didn't care.
"Huanhuan and Tuantuan will probably be back from the academy in about an hour," Yun Ruji said. "Why don't you wear a mask to avoid trouble with Long Qian?"
"Okay, I understand. Send a message to Long Qian and tell him to come back."
"Okay. I'll go deliver the message first. You tidy yourself up; you smell bad."
"knew."
Fu Yunchen raised his hand and used his spiritual power to cast a purification spell on himself. Instantly, he felt completely refreshed, and even the physical depletion and fatigue disappeared.
While inside Yun Chen's body, besides the physical body, the soul could also be cultivated using spiritual power. And he could take the spiritual power within his soul with him. Therefore, after beginning his cultivation, he devoted almost all his spiritual power to cultivating his soul.
Then, using shapeshifting magic, he transformed himself into the appearance of Yun Chen.
Fu Yunchen stood in front of Mu Run's bed, looking at her sleeping face, and lowered his head to kiss her forehead tenderly.
"If I can't find you before I die, will you come with me to the imperial mausoleum?"
Mu Run couldn't answer him, but the little boy standing outside the palace gate took a step back in shock.
"Come out!" Fu Yunchen's eyes sharpened, and he ordered in a low voice.
The little boy at the door hesitated for a moment before entering the hall.
Looking at his face, which resembled his own, Fu Yunchen frowned. "Eavesdropping at the door, acting so suspiciously, who taught you that?"
"No, no, my stomach hurt today, so I didn't go to the academy. After I felt better, I wanted to see Mother..." Zhuangzhuang lowered her head, not daring to look at Fu Yunchen at all.
Actually, he knew that Fu Yunchen would wake up today, so he came to see him on purpose.
Looking at his timid and cowardly appearance, Fu Yunchen paused and said, "Do you want to come out with me?"
"Can I...?" Zhuangzhuang slowly raised her head and looked at Fu Yunchen.
Although he didn't recognize the face, he knew it was his father, just like Uncle Long, he could also transform into his father's face.
"Hmm." Fu Yunchen stepped out of the palace gate.
Zhuangzhuang jogged to catch up with him.
