Having dealt with the two demonic cultivators, Sheng Ning and the others were finally able to settle down and focus on their cultivation.
During the battle with the two demonic cultivators, Sheng Ning nearly caused his two spiritual roots to explode in order to forcibly condense the spiritual power of water and fire.
Fortunately, her wood-type spiritual root had healing properties, which allowed her to survive that fierce battle.
To avoid worrying her senior brothers, she secretly prepared a Rejuvenation Pill for herself, having heard from her third senior brother that this pill could heal wounds in the fastest way possible.
Just as she used her divine sense to probe into her spiritual roots to see the extent of the damage to the water and fire spiritual roots,
However, not only were there no cracks on the two spiritual roots, but they were even thicker than the other three spiritual roots.
She stared wide-eyed in disbelief, then closed her eyes and opened them again. After confirming that she wasn't seeing things, she became quite excited.
Reaching out to grab her third senior brother's arm, Sheng Ning raised her small face and excitedly said, "Third senior brother, my roots have gotten thicker."
Lu Jingshen's smile cracked slightly.
He glanced down at Sheng Ning and saw that she had a small, delicate face and no Adam's apple on her neck.
He certainly doesn't look like a man.
Surely she can't be like Lu Qing'an, a man with an androgynous appearance?
Lu Jingshen's face was contorted in a grimace, and his lips trembled as he struggled to speak for a long while before finally managing to find his voice again.
"Junior Sister, do you want to listen to what you're saying?"
Sheng Ning exclaimed "Ah!" with a puzzled look on her face. "What did I say? I just said that my spiritual root has gotten thicker."
"Third Senior Brother, please take a look at me quickly, am I seeing things?"
Spiritual roots are like the roots of a tree.
The smaller the spiritual root, the worse the aptitude.
Conversely, the stronger and fewer one's spiritual roots, the easier it is to become a genius.
Su Daiyuan and his group had robust spiritual roots, as did Qin Chuan and his group.
In the original work, Sheng Ning was called a "five-elemental spiritual root waste" not only because she had five spiritual roots, but also because the spiritual energy of this continent was insufficient for her to grow and cultivate.
It's also because her spiritual root is too small, like a malnourished bean sprout, unable to absorb too much spiritual power.
When she first arrived at the Invincible Sect, she was fed a lot of spiritual fruits, which made her spiritual roots grow bigger and thicker, allowing her to successfully begin her cultivation journey.
She had just fought a fierce battle with two demonic cultivators, and it was a miracle that her spiritual root was not damaged. She never expected that the battle would actually help her spiritual root grow stronger.
Looking at his junior sister's excited expression, Lu Jingshen wanted to say that spiritual roots shouldn't be shown to just anyone.
Otherwise, it will easily attract the covetous eyes of others.
However, after a moment's thought, he realized that he had a good relationship with his junior sister. He then relaxed, raised his index finger, and placed it on her forehead.
He released a wisp of his spiritual sense, expecting to be blocked, but the wisp of his spiritual sense entered the vicinity of her spiritual root without any hindrance.
Sheng Ning never put any precautions against his senior brothers.
Realizing this, Lu Jingshen's smile grew even gentler.
After probing and finding that her water and fire spiritual roots had indeed become thicker, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"If that's true, congratulations, junior sister."
"However, if Junior Sister wants to maintain her five spiritual roots, she still needs to strengthen the cultivation of the other three spiritual roots."
"Otherwise, the water and fire spiritual roots will eventually devour the other three smaller spiritual roots and use their spiritual power for their own purposes."
This was Sheng Ning's first time entering the world of cultivation. Even though she had read many cultivation novels and had seen authors describe it in this way before, she was still new to the world of cultivation.
But when she actually heard that a robust spiritual root could devour a small spiritual root, she couldn't help but be surprised.
She looked up and met Lu Jingshen's gaze, then grinned, "I will, thank you, Third Senior Brother."
Fearing she might encounter difficulties on her cultivation path, Lu Jingshen took out several bottles of pills from his mustard seed bag.
"These are all top-grade pills. Whether they are useful or not, keep them for now. You are still young, so there is no need to force yourself to be so ambitious."
He raised his hand and gently patted the top of her head, then continued, "A-Ning, your senior brothers will protect you."
Sheng Ning accepted the pills he gave her and nodded immediately upon hearing this.
Seeing that he couldn't persuade her, Lu Jingshen shook his head and chuckled, then took out an extra-large and extra-soft futon from his mustard seed bag.
"Meditation is tiring, Junior Sister, you can just lie down here and cultivate."
When Sheng Ning saw the prayer mat, her eyes widened instantly. "Third Senior Brother, you're so thoughtful!"
Because I had made an appointment with my fellow disciples to cultivate together.
Sheng Ning originally intended to change her previous habit of cultivating while sleeping and instead meditate and cultivate on the futon with her fellow disciples.
Unexpectedly, Lu Jingshen specially made an extra-large futon for himself, made of silk and goose down. It was so thoughtful!
Sitting on a straw cushion, Lu Qing'an glanced at his younger brother and said, "You've never been this nice to your brother before."
Upon hearing this, Lu Jingshen turned his head, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Brother, if you could become my junior sister, I would treat you just as well."
Lu Qing'an: "...You unfilial son! Don't think that just because your parents aren't here, I won't dare to discipline you. An elder brother is like a father!"
Lu Jingshen hummed twice, his perfunctory expression mirroring Sheng Ning's perfectly.
A vein throbbed on Lu Qing'an's forehead, and he let out a heavy snort, not forgetting to reach out and touch the futon beneath his junior sister.
This soft touch.
The thickness of this cushion.
Lu Jingshen must have made a makeshift bed for his junior sister!
Yu Ye and Guan Yunchuan looked on with envy. When they were cultivating before, their third senior brother would just give them a bottle of Spirit-Stabilizing Pills and then ignore them.
When it came to the junior sister, it became a soft, heavy futon and countless pills.
