Chu Yan and Zhong Hui were taken aback by Li Mai's actions and quickly sat up straight. Their master's actions were rather unusual!
The two looked at Zhou Quan and saw that he was staring intently at Li Mai. It seemed that he knew what his master was doing.
As expected, they were ignorant.
Li Mai focused her mind on sensing the water spirit root in her dantian and found that it was still asleep. She tried to mobilize the spiritual power in her dantian to probe the phoenix jade pendant with her divine sense.
Unexpectedly, a weak voice suddenly came from his mind, "It's no use. I am a fire-type divine beast and can't help you. You need a water-type divine beast to help you awaken your dormant water spirit root."
"Who are you?" Li Mai tentatively tried to communicate with the other party using her consciousness.
"Phoenix Soul, you guessed right, I was sealed inside the jade pendant." The voice was still weak.
"So, you've taken this opportunity to stay by my side because you need my help?" Li Mai asked.
"Yes, the person beside you is my destined one. You taught him to use me to awaken his fire-type spiritual root, and he might be able to help me break the seal." The voice grew softer and softer, seemingly weaker than before.
"Are you very weak right now?" Li Mai asked curiously.
"Yes, I used all my spiritual power to wake you up and save my master last night. I may need to sleep for a few days. After three days, when I wake up again, you can have someone around you use me to awaken your fire-type spiritual root." After saying that, the voice disappeared completely.
Li Mai slowly opened her eyes, looked at the phoenix jade pendant in her hand, gave Zhong Hui a complicated look, and said, "On the way back to the capital, you can come with me. I will keep these two jade pendants for you and give them back to you when we get back to the capital."
The two nodded. Although they didn't know why their master suddenly said that, they would listen to him. They originally wanted their master to personally deliver it to their father.
Li Mai put away the jade pendant, glanced at her husband, and thought to herself that this kid was really lucky to have met her.
Perhaps, once he awakens his fire-type spiritual root, we'll know whether he's a teacher or not.
After Chu Yan and the other woman left with the eight oranges, Li Mai stared at the two jade pendants in front of her, lost in thought.
In mythology, the phoenix and the qilin are both fire-type mythical beasts.
It seems that both of these are beneficial to Zhou Quan.
However, what she is worried about now is whether Zhou Quan will destroy the jade pendant if he uses the Phoenix's awakened fire element.
If it's destroyed, how will I explain it to Zhong Hui?
Forget it, let's ask Phoenix in three days. If he says it will be destroyed, then forget it. As for Zhou Quan, I'll find him a suitable fire-type artifact or spiritual weapon to help him awaken his spiritual root.
Fortunately, she now knows that she can use the shortcut of spiritual artifacts to help them awaken their spiritual roots.
She wasn't too sure what kind of water-based magical artifacts existed in this world, but she did know a few water-based divine beasts and spirit beasts. She would try to find more of those in the future!
Perhaps the most common ones are things related to dragons?
Dragons are associated with water, but it's extremely difficult to find a spiritual artifact that seals the soul of a spirit dragon or a divine dragon.
Zhou Quan had no idea what Li Mai was thinking, so he silently stayed by her side, refilling her tea.
After thinking it over, Li Mai first used her mind to put the two jade pendants into her spatial storage, and then said to Zhou Quan, "Tonight I will tell you some things about cultivation, and then teach you some kung fu moves."
Zhou Quan looked down at his abdomen. "About those two things in my belly?"
Li Mai nodded, "Yes, I obtained a secret today. Those two jade pendants can help you awaken your fire spirit root. Let's awaken this first, so that at least you will have the ability to protect yourself, and I can feel more at ease."
"But remember, no one in this world has ever cultivated superpowers yet. So, even if you become exceptionally powerful in the future, you must not use your superpowers to harm others. Moreover, you will also need to learn some techniques from me. In the future, all superpowers will be hidden within these techniques."
When Zhou Quan heard what she was saying to him, he perked up and sat up straight to listen attentively.
"Okay, I'll learn however you teach me," Zhou Quan quickly agreed, a hint of excitement in his voice.
So, starting that night, Zhou Quan stopped building houses in the space. His main task became learning from Li Mai, learning about superpowers and some martial arts moves.
But it's just techniques. Because he started learning martial arts too late, he doesn't have much internal energy to support it. In the words of the old folks, it's just fancy moves.
Li Mai told him that the fancy moves he had learned so far were fine. Once he awakened his spiritual root, gained spiritual power, and cultivated his supernatural abilities, the moves he used would no longer be fancy moves, but real killing blows.
With his wife personally teaching him, Zhou Quan studied even harder. In addition, during his rehabilitation period, Li Mai made him do push-ups every day, which he has continued to do since then. In addition, he drinks a bowl of spiritual spring water every day, and his body is now healthier than that of a healthy person. Even though he has to practice his skills in the space for several hours every day, he does not feel tired at all.
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.
Li Mai chose to conduct the activity in a space.
She asked the Phoenix Soul if helping Zhou Quan awaken his spiritual veins would cause the jade pendant to shatter, and the Phoenix said no.
Li Mai was relieved to hear that.
Li Mai, acting as translator, instructed Zhou Quan, following Phoenix's instructions, to sit cross-legged by the stream, clasp his hands together, place the Phoenix jade pendant in his palms, and then he would guide Zhou Quan.
After Li Mai told Zhou Quan, Zhou Quan responded and sat down as Phoenix had instructed. When he placed the Phoenix jade pendant in his palm, clasped his hands together, and aligned them with his forehead, he immediately heard a voice in his mind reminding him what to do next.
Zhou Quan followed the other party's instructions and began to concentrate his mind and gather spiritual energy to guide it into his body and circulate it throughout his meridians. Then, he slowly gathered it towards his dantian and used the incantation that the phoenix had given him to transform the essence he had refined throughout his body into fire-type spiritual energy to awaken the fire spiritual root in his dantian.
Their method involves using external force to forcibly awaken one's spiritual root. If one awakens on their own, it won't be so troublesome. One might awaken without preparation, simply by sleeping, or perhaps by suddenly awakening when facing a life-or-death situation.
While Zhou Quan was concentrating on awakening his fire spirit root, Li Mai thought for a moment and then went to rummage through the box over there.
She remembered that there were a few books about fire-based cultivation inside, about fire-based abilities and how to cultivate them, which would definitely be useful to Zhou Quan.
After she found three books, she took them home.
When she returned to where Zhou Quan was cultivating, she saw that his whole body was enveloped in a layer of red spiritual energy.
Not bad, this is the awakening of the fire elemental root, which can transform the spiritual energy around him into fire elemental energy to protect him.
Hearing Li Mai's footsteps, Zhou Quan slowly opened his eyes and looked at her.
