Chapter 103: Drawing Qi into the Body, Awakening the Spiritual Root!

Miss Lin entrusted, Jiang Mou naturally gladly accepts this favor; I'll immediately call to arrange.

Director Jiang is a man of action; after asking for the names of Lin Meng's aunt and uncle, he arranged the matter right in front of her.

After hanging up, Director Jiang still wanted to chat with Lin Meng a few sentences, hoping to extract some useful information.

But Lin Meng didn't say much; she immediately stood up, preparing to leave.

Because just now, Ye Fan had already returned from the Technique Hall and was looking for her.

Director Jiang, I, Lin Meng, will keep this favor in my heart; let's meet at the Stone Gambling Convention.

Having said that, Lin Meng left without looking back, leaving Director Jiang alone in the tea room, dazed for a while.

She just left like that? Today's young people are really hot-headed.

After bidding farewell to Sun Yao, Lin Meng rushed nonstop to her aunt's house.

Her aunt and uncle had already received the notice from the Stone Gambling venue and were now on their way there, with her cousin also going along.

At that time, only Lin Meng was at home; she locked the door and immediately flashed into the second space.

"Fairy Sister!" Seeing Lin Meng's illusory figure, Ye Fan was greatly excited.

"I helped you exchange quite a few introductory technique manuals; also, I exchanged the most basic Qi Refining Manual. Fairy Sister, take a look quickly."

Lin Meng's eyes lit up; she immediately found that Qi Refining Manual among the pile of technique manuals.

This is actually an introductory cultivation manual teaching how to draw qi into the body; as long as she practices according to it, once she truly draws qi into her body, she will officially open her apertures, awaken her spiritual root, and set foot on the path to immortality!

"This Qi Refining Manual is quite good, and these introductory technique manuals—I'm very satisfied. Tell me, what reward do you want?"

Lin Meng was quite satisfied with Ye Fan's decisiveness; the child has vision and drive, so she couldn't be too stingy.

Ye Fan scratched his head, feeling a bit shy; he naturally dared not ask for anything, since he did all this for Fairy Sister willingly—how could he seek a reward?

"Fairy Sister, no reward is needed; completing the task is what I should do."

Lin Meng insisted: "Don't be polite; just say it. Although what I can provide you is limited, quid pro quo."

Ye Fan feared that further refusal would anger Fairy Sister, so he carefully thought about his recent sect life, came up with something, and said somewhat expectantly:

"Fairy Sister, if possible, could you give me some rice and vegetables?"

"What do you need these for?" Lin Meng wondered; it's reasonable for Ye Heng to need these, but what would a cultivator like Ye Fan need grains and food for?

Ye Fan said somewhat embarrassedly:

"Perhaps I haven't truly transformed from a mortal into a cultivator yet; lately I've had a craving, wanting to cook some food to occasionally satisfy my appetite."

"I've already built a small stove in my cave abode, with monster meat for food, but I'm still lacking rice and vegetables."

Upon hearing this, Lin Meng understood; at the Qi Refining stage, one is still far from being able to abstain from grains, so Bigu Pills are indeed bland—usable in a pinch during closed-door cultivation, but if one were to rely on them forever, it would be too pitiful; one should eat some grains.

Thus Lin Meng said:

"Wait here; I'll go to the supermarket right now to shop for you."

Ye Fan didn't know what a supermarket was, but Fairy Sister wanted to immediately help him buy things, and he felt deeply moved inside.

Lin Meng navigated to a nearby large supermarket, picked the best organic rice and organic vegetables, and bought a whole cart at once.

She carried several bags of rice and a large package of vegetables back home, immediately storing them all in her space.

"If you lack anything, just tell me; my shopping is convenient, so please don't stand on ceremony with me."

"Alright, I'm going to study the Qi Refining Manual; if anything comes up, you can directly contact me with your mental power."

After Lin Meng finished speaking, Ye Fan hurriedly stored several spirit stones in his space and said:

"Fairy Sister, I still have a few spirit stones here; perhaps you could also use them."

Lin Meng's eyes brightened: "You're still thinking things through; thanks."

After exiting her space, she immediately took the spirit stones and Qi Refining Manual into the guest room, closed the door, and began studying.

Ye Fan looked at the rice bags in his space, which seemed quite novel to him, and the vegetables neatly packed in transparent boxes—very pleasing to the eye.

He couldn't help thinking that if one day he too could break through the void, he would certainly want to visit the plane where Fairy Sister resides.

Lin Meng opened the Qi Refining Manual and studied it carefully, discovering that although this technique comes from the cultivation world, this mortal of hers seems able to understand it.

She followed the first layer's mantra of the Qi Refining Manual, calmed her mind and focused her spirit, attempting to sense the spiritual qi of heaven and earth.

Soon, Lin Meng realized a heartbreaking fact.

She sensed spiritual qi, but the spiritual qi on Earth is extraordinarily thin.

According to the Qi Refining Manual, the spiritual qi on Earth probably cannot support her reaching the fifth layer of Qi Refining.

At this moment, Lin Meng turned her gaze to the five spirit stones Ye Fan gave her.

Fortunately, she has Ye Fan, a junior from the cultivation world; the thinness of Earth's spiritual qi doesn't matter, as she can absorb the qi from the spirit stones, which should speed up her cultivation.

Thinking this, Lin Meng immediately took a spirit stone and quickly entered a meditative state.

Time passed bit by bit; soon the sun set behind the mountains, and Aunt's family of three returned home happily.

"Cousin sister, I have good news to tell you."

Xu Yixiao entered the house and immediately looked for Lin Meng, but found the guest room locked; no matter how he called for Lin Meng, there was no response.

Lin Cuihua and Xu Hong, seeing something was wrong, feared Lin Meng might have met with an accident inside, and quickly fetched a spare key.

Opening the door and entering, the three were dumbfounded.

They saw Lin Meng sitting cross-legged on the bed in a proper manner, eyes tightly closed, her whole person very tranquil.

Were it not for checking her breath—steady and her complexion rosy—Lin Cuihua and the others would have thought Lin Meng had met with mishap.

"What's happened to little Meng?"

The aunt was very worried about Lin Meng; she remained completely still, and no matter how they called her, there was no response, which made them uneasy just looking at her.

"Should we call an ambulance?" Xu Hong was also very anxious.

Only Xu Yixiao stared at Lin Meng with eyes shining, his heart wildly excited; hearing his parents' conversation, he quickly intervened.

"Mom, Dad, don't argue; my sister is entering deep meditation, she's cultivating!"

Xu Yixiao doesn't believe in those evil gods and witchcraft, but Lin Meng is now a god in his heart.

Stone Gambling hits 100% of the time—what does that mean? This absolutely means there's a cheat on him!

Now looking at Lin Meng's demeanor, there faintly stirs some unusual airflow around her body; without close inspection you can't notice it.

Xu Yixiao firmly believes his sister is no longer on the same level as these ordinary people.

He tiptoed out with his parents, carefully closed the door, then turned to Lin Cuihua and her husband and said:

"Mom, Dad, definitely don't disturb my sister; I'll take full charge of looking after her these few days—you can go to work worry-free."

"Can you do it?" Lin Cuihua couldn't rest easy; Xiao Meng's appearance looked very strange.

Xu Yixiao patted his chest and said:

"Don't worry, Mom, you and Dad have just been promoted to good positions at work—these few days just focus on your jobs; I'll handle my older female cousin's affairs."

Lin Meng has now entered the state of selflessness, frantically absorbing the spiritual energy from that spirit stone.

Three days later, the shabby little house suddenly trembled.

Xu Yixiao, leaning against Lin Meng's door, was shaken awake and thought it was an earthquake.

Lin Meng slowly opened her eyes; in those bright eyes there had already burst forth an unusual light.

She drew qi into her body and awakened her spiritual root!
