After Qi Zhiheng delegated power to Rong Gu, he only visited him every few days.
Alchemy is not something that can be accomplished overnight. Apart from the tremendous progress in the first few days, one can only hone their alchemy skills gradually. Qi Zhiheng felt that going to inspect every day was pointless, so he simply decided to go every few days.
After the situation of the Danfeng disciples stabilized, Qi Zhiheng also remembered the Spirit Spring Entry Token given to him by the sect.
Qi Zhiheng gathered his family members and prepared to go soak in the spiritual spring together.
Since the decision has been made and the whole family is going, it's impossible to leave the three children behind. If we're going to bring the children along, we need to prepare some things for them, at least to ensure that the children don't fall into the water while they're soaking in the hot spring.
Yang Yitian prepared large wooden basins and brought several extra just in case.
Before his family could enter the Spirit Spring, Zuoqiu Man, the master of Panyun Peak, emerged from seclusion after advancing a realm.
Some time ago, Zuoqiu Man took a fourth-grade top-quality pill given to him by Qi Zhiheng and then entered a state of seclusion. Now that he has emerged from seclusion, he has reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. He only needs to wait for his understanding of the principles to be fully realized before he can break through the Nascent Soul stage and enter the Out-of-Body stage.
Upon learning that Peak Master Zuoqiu Man had emerged from seclusion, Qi Zhiheng felt embarrassed to disappear for a while to soak in the hot springs, so he went to pay his respects to Zuoqiu Man and informed him that the Qi family was planning to soak in the spiritual springs.
Zuoqiu Man's cultivation was able to advance further thanks to the pills given by Qi Zhiheng. At this moment, he was in high spirits due to the good news, and the peak master's attitude towards Qi Zhiheng was also very gentle. When he learned that the family was going to soak in the spiritual spring, he gave the Qi family a large piece of Qingxin Jade, which would help them enter a meditative state. A piece of Qingxin Jade was as big as a fist, and a small piece would be enough for one person to use.
Wearing Qingxin Jade can make it easier for people to enter a meditative state, allowing them to absorb more spiritual energy while soaking in a spiritual spring.
Qi Zhiheng accepted the large piece of Qingxin Jade: "Thank you for the reward, Peak Master."
Zuoqiu Man, feeling that everything was alright, waved for them to leave.
After Qi Zhiheng returned, he immediately froze. The Qingxin Jade was cut and polished, and each member of the family received a piece.
Immediately afterwards, the Qi family set off in a grand procession towards their destination. Before long, they arrived at the outskirts of the location of the Spirit Spring.
There were guards around the Spirit Spring. Qi Zhiheng handed over the token that the sect had bestowed upon him.
The gatekeeper was somewhat surprised to see such a large family: "Are you all going in together?"
The entire Qi family, young and old, including Qi Zhirui, Qi Zhiwu, Da Bao, Er Bao, and San Bao, came along.
Seeing their entourage, the gatekeeper disciple advised, "Are you even letting the children in? I'm telling you, it's useless for people who haven't even started cultivating their Qi to soak in this spiritual spring. They might even get injured by the spiritual energy in the spring."
Qi Zhiheng lifted the two children in his arms and said, "Don't worry, everyone. We will take good care of the children and won't let them absorb the spiritual energy in the spring."
Since they had the token given by the peak master, the gatekeepers couldn't just stop them, so the Qi family was let in.
After walking a distance further in, I discovered that the spring pools here were actually made up of small houses, each containing a pool of spiritual spring water. The outer houses were built by people later.
Upon entering, it became clear that the pools were man-made, with the spiritual spring water introduced into them through various channels. These individual spiritual spring pools were, in essence, interconnected.
This place should have a spring with a spiritual spring, and Panyun Peak diverted the spiritual spring water flowing from this spring to various pools.
Upon arriving here, the Qi family members dispersed.
Qi Zhiheng and Yang Yitian, along with their son, selected a house and went inside.
Upon entering, you'll see a pool of spiritual spring water; the rest of the area is not very large.
After Qi Zhiheng and Yang Yitian changed their clothes, Yang Yitian took out a large wooden basin, placed their three children on it, and then put the basin on the spirit spring pool. The basin floated on the water due to buoyancy.
Seeing that the wooden basin was stable, Qi Zhiheng and Yang Yitian also soaked in the pool.
The two began to cultivate in the spiritual spring with their eyes closed. While cultivating, Qi Zhiheng also spared a wisp of his soul power to watch over the three children, lest they cause any serious trouble while they were not paying attention.
At first, everything went smoothly. The three children stayed quietly in the wooden tub. The three children were curious about the situation. They were at an age where they had a strong thirst for knowledge, and they would reach into the water to fish things out from time to time.
Qi Zhiheng saw it all, but since it wouldn't harm the child, he didn't pay much attention to it.
After seeing Sanbao's actions, the other two older brothers also became curious about the water outside the wooden basin and would reach out to scoop it up from time to time.
Qi Zhiheng was relieved that the children were only interested in the water and did not do anything too outrageous.
Unfortunately, his relief only lasted a day.
As Qi Zhiheng immersed himself in the spiritual spring, he immediately felt a surge of spiritual energy rushing towards him. He frantically absorbed this spiritual energy and transformed it into his own spiritual power.
Three hours later, his cultivation level broke through a small stage. Qi Zhiheng was quite satisfied with the speed of his advancement. One day of cultivation here was equivalent to three months of cultivation outside.
Qi Zhiheng only thought it was the natural effect of the spiritual spring water. Those outside didn't know Qi Zhiheng's absorption speed, which was at least five times faster than others!
Moreover, after absorbing spiritual energy for several hours, most people need to rest and refine it before continuing to cultivate. The time they can absorb spiritual energy continuously will become shorter and shorter until the spiritual energy stored in their own spiritual spring reaches a saturation point. At this point, continuing to run to the spiritual spring will be useless.
After absorbing spiritual energy to a certain extent, Yang Yitian stopped to rest and fed the child.
After floating in the water for a day, the three children were probably getting impatient, and they started to move around more.
Sanbao wanted to play on the shore for a while, but he was some distance from the bank. Looking at his father and father sleeping with their eyes closed, he didn't know how to wake them, so he had to figure it out himself. He first reached into the water and tried to swim the wooden tub to the shore with his own strength, but obviously, his attempt failed.
No matter how he moved his hands, he could only make the wooden basin spin in place. Sanbao was so anxious that he scratched his head and cheeks. In desperation, he slapped the wooden basin.
That slap was really something! Sanbao was born with a superhuman strength in his hand. Although he usually couldn't recover for a day or two after using it once, it didn't stop him from having to bear the consequences of using too much force!
With a loud "crack," the wooden basin carrying the triplets shattered instantly, and the three children fell into the water with a "thud." Things happened so fast that Yang Yitian and Qi Zhiheng didn't even have time to react.
Yang Yitian, who was closest, immediately broke free from his cultivation state! He quickly reached out and scooped up the second and third treasures. Qi Zhiheng also interrupted his cultivation and grabbed the remaining large treasure from the water.
The three children were still a little dazed. They hadn't been in the water for very long when they fell into the spring, but that little time was enough for each of them to drink a few sips of water.
Yang Yitian clicked his tongue a few times: "It seems this wooden basin won't be able to hold the three treasures! Luckily, I prepared several backups!"
Qi Zhiheng was somewhat speechless at his focus: "Quickly check them first, see if any of the children have been injured." This is spiritual spring water. These children must have drunk some water after falling into it. This water with spiritual energy is no joke. Although it won't kill them, who knows if they'll feel bloated after drinking it?
He gathered a ball of spiritual energy in his hand and placed it on Da Bao's stomach, squeezing out the spiritual spring inside. Da Bao spat out a mouthful of spiritual spring with a "pfft."
Yang Yitian did the same, and removed the spiritual spring from the bellies of all three children.
The three babies were still a little dazed, but they were clearly not in any discomfort, so Qi Zhiheng immediately felt relieved and said, "It seems they are all fine."
Yang Yitian veered off-topic: "We must tell them later that they drank our bathwater when they were little!"
Qi Zhiheng: "..." These claims about bathwater from Linquan are so irrefutable...
At this point, it would be inconvenient to leave the three children at the spiritual spring. The unexpected situation just now proved that these three troublemakers could not stay here and wait for them to finish soaking in the spiritual spring.
Yang Yitian suggested, "Why don't we put it in the space and let Senior Yuehua take care of it for a few days? Soaking in the spiritual spring will only take a few days."
Qi Zhiheng thought the suggestion was pretty good, but he wasn't sure if someone like Yuehua would be willing to take care of their child. However, they decided to try it out first, so the two of them took the child and entered the space.
There's a sign outside the spirit spring pool where they are now, indicating that someone is there. Even if someone else comes, they shouldn't dare to barge in. It won't be a big deal if the children aren't outside, as long as they go back into their space to pick them up when they leave.
After entering the space, Qi Zhiheng first prepared a bed with railings around it to prevent the three children from falling off. Then he put all three children on the bed.
After settling the children in temporarily, Qi Zhiheng called out to the air, "Senior Yuehua! Senior Yangzhen!"
Not long after, Yuehua floated down from mid-air, her expression aloof, and asked, "What do you want with me?"
Yang Zhen followed closely behind, appearing behind Yuehua like a ghost.
Having witnessed Yang Zhen's entrance a few times, Qi Zhiheng had grown accustomed to it and wasn't surprised. He said directly, "You two seniors haven't met my sons yet, have you? Let me introduce them to you."
