Chapter 532: The Cultivation Li family

He Pingsheng reached out and touched his forehead: logically speaking, Li Linger wasn't that young anymore!

She was already sixteen or seventeen, so why didn't she understand a bit of social etiquette?

Truly speechless.

Asking me if I'm still alive?

I...

He Pingsheng really had the urge to hit someone.

"Oh no!" Li Linger's voice came from outside again: "Little Mo, open the door quickly, Big Brother He isn't making any sound, he might have stopped breathing!"

He Pingsheng felt like vomiting!

There was a clattering sound outside, Li Linger brought Little Mo and unlocked the iron lock on the door, then pushed it open, only to see He Pingsheng walking around the room completely unharmed, and she was so scared that she fled in panic: "Mother... ghost... ghost..."

It wasn't that Li Linger was exaggerating.

But half a month ago, He Pingsheng could only lie there without moving, and now he was completely unharmed.

Who could believe that injuries could heal so quickly?

Since the injuries couldn't heal that quickly, the result was obvious: he was dead, he had become a ghost!

"Cough, cough, cough..." He Pingsheng coughed a few times and said, "Stop shouting, I'm not dead!"

Little Mo, however, gathered his courage and walked to He Pingsheng's side, reached out to check under his nose, and said in surprise: "Sister... he still has breath, he's not a ghost!"

Li Linger then ran over.

"Big Brother He, you're better?" She opened her mouth wide and looked at He Pingsheng with some disbelief.

He Pingsheng nodded: "Yes... I'm better!"

After speaking, he asked Li Linger again: "Do you have an immortal affinity?"

The so-called immortal affinity was spiritual roots.

If this woman had spiritual roots, He Pingsheng wouldn't mind taking her as a disciple and teaching her some cultivation techniques and divine abilities to repay her for saving his life.

However, Li Linger shook her head and said, "Speaking of which, we are a branch of the Cultivation Li family, so every year, Li family elders come over to help us test for immortal affinity!"

"I was tested when I was nine, and I don't have spiritual roots!"

He Pingsheng said, "Stretch out your hand!"

Li Linger stretched out her hand.

Her hand was very white, but there were quite a few calluses on her palm, which felt quite rough to the touch.

He Pingsheng's hand rested on hers, and a strand of spiritual sense mixed with a bit of magic power began to wander through Li Linger's body!

After a few breaths, he withdrew his hand and shook his head, saying: "The Li family's test for you was correct, you... have no spiritual roots!"

"Of course, there is also a very small possibility, which is that you have void spiritual roots!"

"I'll give you a cultivation technique, go and try it; if you can find the sense of Qi and take Qi into your body to run a cycle, it means you have void spiritual roots!"

Void spiritual roots were too rare.

It wasn't one in ten thousand, but one in ten million.

"Okay!" Li Linger took a basic fire-attribute cultivation technique and said, "My brother hasn't seen it yet, Big Brother He, help my brother take a look and see if he has an immortal affinity!"

Little Mo hurried over.

He Pingsheng stretched out his hand, and a strand of spiritual sense wandered through Little Mo's body as well.

After a few breaths, he shook his head again: "I'm afraid there is no immortal affinity; both you and your sister should go and cultivate that fire-attribute technique; if you can cultivate to the first layer within a few days, it means there is still a glimmer of hope!"

But the hope for void spiritual roots was really not very large!

Sending the siblings away, He Pingsheng continued to cultivate in seclusion!

Top-tier Spirit-Gathering Elixirs were swallowed by him one by one, and his cultivation grew very rapidly.

After another ten days or so, He Pingsheng broke through from the fifth layer of Qi Condensation to the tenth layer of Qi Condensation.

It was just that fast.

He could break through a layer almost every one or two days.

Back when he was at the Profound Heaven Sect, it took him more than ten years to cultivate to the tenth layer of Qi Condensation.

But it was different now; he was just walking the path he had walked before, without needing to break the flesh barrier or Dao barrier, and there were no bottlenecks.

"Big Brother He!" Li Linger and her brother came over again; their expressions were a bit disappointed, and they returned the cultivation technique to He Pingsheng.

It seemed there was no effect at all.

That meant the siblings were not the legendary void spiritual roots.

He Pingsheng had expected this result.

"It's fine!" He Pingsheng chuckled and comforted them: "In this world, the vast majority of people have no immortal affinity, so you don't need to be too disappointed!"

"You two saved my life!"

"I should repay you!"

"Tell me, what do you want?"

He Pingsheng didn't wait for them to answer and said, "I can make you wealthy for a lifetime, or I can take you away from this village to live outside, in a bigger city!"

Li Linger shook her head and said, "It's very good here; this is my hometown, I'm familiar with every blade of grass and tree here, so I don't want to go anywhere!"

"Fine!" He Pingsheng thought for a moment, took out a porcelain bottle, put a few pills into it, and said, "The red ones are called 【Jin Gu Dan】; if you get injured in the future, just swallow them; as long as you're not dead, even if your heart is shattered, it can instantly repair your injuries!"

"Understand?"

"Mm-hmm!" Li Linger nodded.

He Pingsheng continued: "The green ones are Spirit-Nurturing Elixirs... these things are used for cultivation... although you can't eat them. But when you have nothing to do, take them out and smell the immortal spirit energy on them; it can keep you two siblings free from all illnesses and live to a hundred years old!"

"And this sword!" He Pingsheng took out a blue precious sword: "I have cast a secret technique on this sword; keep it well, and when a powerful enemy comes at a critical moment, you can draw the sword to fight!"

"Remember, if it's an ordinary cultivator, one strike can kill them!"

"Don't swing it too many times!"

"There is only enough power for nine strikes in this sword; after nine strikes, the power will naturally disappear!"

"Go!" He Pingsheng gave all the items to Li Linger, then waved his hand at her: "I will cultivate here for a few more days, and then I will leave on my own!"

"When I leave, I won't say goodbye to you again!"

"Oh right... I have some useless gold and silver here, take them as well!"

He Pingsheng took a large chest of gold and silver items and placed them in the room.

These things were enough for the siblings to use for a lifetime.

He Pingsheng continued to cultivate in seclusion.

He wanted to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage here, and then go out to see the bigger world.

However, before He Pingsheng could break through to the eleventh layer, a situation occurred here.

People from the Cultivation Li family had come.

And two of them came at once!

Two Qi Condensation stage cultivators were currently in the courtyard, interrogating the siblings.

"Li Linger, is it..." A male cultivator wearing a moon-white Daoist robe looked down at Li Linger from a high position and said contemptuously: "This seat has already checked, recently only you two siblings have been up Rouge Mountain!"

"Tell me, what exactly happened?"

"You should know why I'm looking for you, right?" ===== CHAPTER 533 =====
