Oh no, I accidentally cultivated three spiritual roots and became an empress!

Chapter 198 I Don't Waste Things

Zhong Lingxin had just returned to Qingling Peak when she received a report from Zhong Muyun that her senior brothers and sisters, including Liu Qiang, had come to visit her.

Accompanying Zhong Muyun were Zhong Muyuan, Mei Hanxiang, Zhang Qiuhan, and others.

Zhong Muyuan became very unhappy when he heard Liu Qiang's name.

His sister will have him to keep her company.

That Liu Qiang is not good enough for his sister. Don't try to play the emotional card when she's feeling vulnerable; she doesn't need it.

Liu Qiang's arrival at this time was indeed intended to play the sentimental card, taking advantage of Zhong Lingxin's loneliness and isolation.

For decades, Zhong Lingxin has stayed in Qingyang Cave since she advanced to the Nascent Soul stage.

She and her teacher only had a few decades together, so it was really not appropriate for me to disturb them.

Now that Venerable Qingyang has ascended to immortality, it wouldn't hurt for him to come and talk to her and try to build a good impression.

As for Zhong Muyuan's wolf-like gaze, he really didn't take it seriously.

Zhong Muyuan is currently still in the Foundation Establishment stage.

He suddenly felt that inviting Zhong Lingxin to join him in the training might be a good idea. It would allow him to avoid Zhong Muyuan's suspicions and also increase the time he could spend with Zhong Lingxin.

This is an excellent idea, an excellent idea!

He needs to hurry back and make a plan, both to take control of this experience and to demonstrate his abilities.

Zhong Lingxin didn't know what Liu Qiang was thinking, but she still smiled and responded to the comforting words of her fellow disciples as always.

As someone who has performed on stage, she has the ability to make every senior brother and sister who comes to Qingling Peak feel at home.

During their conversation, Liu Qiang naturally brought up the topic of gaining experience.

Zhong Lingxin actually had many things to do. She needed to meet the Long family, go to Dragon Island, go into seclusion to summarize her decades of cultivation, and improve her four cultivation arts by one level.

She declined Liu Qiang's suggestion, saying that she needed to go into seclusion, as she hadn't done so in decades and had too much to learn and reflect upon.

Liu Qiang expressed his understanding and said they would discuss it again after Zhong Lingxin came out of seclusion.

Zhong Muyuan breathed a huge sigh of relief; as long as his sister rejected Liu Qiang, that was all that mattered.

Zhong Lingxin smiled. She had too many things to do; she had no time for romance.

After seeing everyone off, Zhong Lingxin first sent a message to Feng Yu, thanking him for his concern and saying that she was fine and would definitely ask him for help if needed.

Zhong Lingxin smiled as she put down the communication talisman.

She is very happy, surrounded by family, friends, and elders like Feng Yu and Sect Leader Lu who love and care for her.

She slipped into the nine-story pagoda.

She rarely came in over the decades. Zhong Chun took care of the tower most of the time, with Peach Blossom and a few flower fairies helping out.

As for Huanhuan, Lele, and Xiaoxiao, it's already good enough that they don't cause trouble or steal spirit fruits, let alone be allowed to manage things!

Zhong Chun led Zhong Lingxin up to the second floor and said happily, "Xinxin, look! The spiritual energy on the second floor is much richer than on the first floor. I moved all the high-grade spiritual herbs to the second floor. Look at the Enlightenment Tea and the Bodhi Tree, they've grown so much taller. Look at how green the leaves are, they're growing so beautifully."

Huanhuan retorted from the side, "You're not human, you're just a wisp of a soul."

Zhong Lingxin suppressed a laugh. What's wrong with Huanhuan today? She's started teasing Zhong Chun again.

Zhong Chun immediately gave Zhong Lingxin the answer: "Xinxin, you have to keep an eye on Huanhuan and Xiaoxiao. They're too greedy and eat everything. They even dared to chop off the Nine Yang Fruit, which is a ninth-grade spiritual fruit. If I hadn't stopped them, they would have burst by now. Not only are they ungrateful, but they also keep causing me trouble."

The peach blossoms and other flower fairies beside them all nodded vigorously.

Huanhuan and Xiaoxiao felt uneasy, so they slowed their pace and fell behind the others.

Zhong Lingxin was startled. She was now at the Nascent Soul stage and could eat fourth-grade spiritual fruits and pills. She could even eat some fifth-grade ones without getting sick, but she wouldn't dare to eat a single ninth-grade spiritual fruit.

Huanhuan and Xiaoxiao are both one level higher than her, so they can only eat half a sixth-grade spiritual fruit at most now.

They're really bold to steal and eat ninth-grade spiritual fruits!

Seeing Zhong Lingxin's gloomy face, Huanhuan and Xiaoxiao fell even further behind.

Zhong Lingxin stood up straight and looked coldly at Huanhuan and Xiaoxiao.

Huanhuan and Xiaoxiao had no choice but to reluctantly walk forward and grab Zhong Lingxin's sleeve: "Xinxin, we didn't dare to eat too much, we just wanted to taste it. That Nine Yang Fruit is so fragrant. Really, go and smell it, it smells so good it's killing me! Oh, I can't mention it, I can't mention it, just thinking about it makes my mouth water."

A gentle breeze blew by, carrying a delicate fruity fragrance that reached her nose. Zhong Lingxin couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Huanhuan and Xiaoxiao quickly said, "See, see, I told you this Nine Yang Fruit smells amazing!"

Zhong Lingxin was so frustrated she wanted to cover her nose. How was she supposed to discipline her two brats now?

But they still need to be taught a lesson; they really can't be allowed to steal food: "No matter how delicious it is, you can't eat it, it could kill you."

Huanhuan and Xiaoxiao nodded quickly, indicating that they wouldn't eat anymore.

Zhong Lingxin looked at the two of them and thought, "How can they be so untrustworthy!"

Peach Blossom suggested, "Xin Xin, why don't you set up a formation so they can't get in and then they won't be able to eat."

This is an excellent idea, and Zhong Lingxin adopted it.

She doesn't have much else now, but she has a lot of battle formations.

Her master ascended to heaven, leaving her all the cultivation resources, including a large number of array plates.

Under the expectant gazes of Huanhuan and Xiaoxiao, Zhong Lingxin set up defensive arrays on all spiritual herbs and fruits of grade six and above, only allowing Taohua and Zhong Chun to enter and exit freely.

As for the two Bodhi trees and the Enlightenment Tea Tree, Zhong Lingxin set up a spirit-gathering array under the trees.

This makes it easier for the two trees to grow, and also makes it easier for friends to cultivate under the trees.

Afterwards, Zhong Chun stammered and hesitated for a long time.

Huanhuan couldn't stand it anymore and said loudly, "Xinxin, Chun Chun wants that Immortal Jade Token, the one that fell from those two large remnant souls. It's made of a similar material to the Immortal Token."

Zhong Lingxin smiled; she had intended to give the two jade pendants to Zhong Chun.

The two jade pendants were damaged because they had been exposed to evil energy for too long when they were first brought in.

After decades of care, the two jade pendants are now crystal clear, no longer having that feeling of being neither gold nor iron when they were first acquired.

Seeing that Zhong Lingxin did not object, Zhong Chun hurriedly said, "Xinxin, one piece is enough for me, really, one piece is enough. I don't waste things."

Zhong Lingxin smiled and asked, "How does this compare to that lotus with a tangled stem?"

Zhong Chun chuckled: "All good, all good, Xin Xin. I plan to combine the two materials. I've planted enough lotus stems in the bottom layer to make a body. Now, with this piece of immortal jade, I can not only refine a translucent and immaculate holy body, but also an immortal jade body. I'm a natural body cultivator, awesome, incredibly powerful."

Zhong Lingxin and her friends all burst out laughing. Look how happy Zhong Chun is, he's laughing so hard he's practically jumping for joy.

If that's the case, then what are we waiting for!
