Chapter 80: Moving Out of Shi Family Village

The Blue Silver King Devours the Blue Silver Emperor, possessing the qualifications to ascend to the Blue Silver Emperor.

One-hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor soul bone.

Spirit Bone Modifier.

The waiting and effort of this past half-month or so can be considered a full harvest.

His figure illusory, he walked out of the mountain cave; Shi Quan then returned to his original appearance and swaggered back to Shi Family Village.

"Dad, Mom, I'm back."

Hearing Shi Quan's voice from outside the house, Li Meili and her husband both walked out quickly.

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."

The two did not know what Shi Quan had gone to do, but they both had a feeling that it must have been dangerous; now seeing Shi Quan return safely, the two were naturally overjoyed.

"Did you encounter any problems?"

After entering the house, Shi Jian finally asked.

"Don't worry, Dad, everything went smoothly." Shi Quan nodded, "How about you? How is the preparation going?"

"It's about ready, you can leave whenever you want."

Shi Quan thought for a moment, "Then let's make it the day after tomorrow; leaving right after I just got back seems a bit too rushed."

"That works too. I can take these two days to properly say goodbye to Uncle Shi and the others. Once we leave this time, who knows when we will see each other again." A trace of reluctance and melancholy appeared in the depths of Shi Jian's eyes.

Shi Quan spoke up to comfort him: "It's okay, Dad. When your son is strong enough in the future, you can live wherever you want to live."

"Haha, good, Dad will wait for that day." Shi Jian happily patted Shi Quan on the shoulder.

Two days later.

Shi Family Village, village entrance.

Most of the people in the village already knew that the Shi Jian and Li Meili family were preparing to move away from Shi Family Village. Especially the Village Chief, Shi Gandang, was even more reluctant to see Shi Quan's family leave.

However, people climb to higher places and water flows to lower places; everyone in the village understood this principle.

"We're leaving, Village Chief."

Shi Jian, Li Meili, and Shi Quan stood at the village entrance to bid farewell to everyone in the village.

Shi Jian and Li Meili's belongings had all been put into the Snow Jade Bracelet by Shi Quan, so the three of them had empty hands.

"A-Jian, Meili, Xiao Quan, come back and visit often when you have time; our Shi Family Village will always be your home." Village Chief Shi Gandang waved to bid the three of them farewell.

Even the steady-natured Shi Jian had somewhat reddened eyes, not to mention the sentimental Li Meili, whose tears had long since been unable to stop flowing.

Filled with reluctance, the two finally boarded the carriage, bidding a sorrowful farewell to the Shi Family Village where they had lived for decades.

"It's alright, Meili, we can come back in the future." Shi Jian softly comforted Li Meili inside the carriage, while Shi Quan sat outside, driving the carriage, his heart also full of helplessness.

If it were possible not to leave, how could Shi Quan have taken them away?

The carriage traveled all the way until late at night, when it finally arrived at Fa Yun Cheng, one hundred and fifty miles away from Shi Family Village.

They found a hotel to stay at and parked the carriage next to the hotel's stables.

After a day of travel fatigue, the homesickness of Shi Jian and Li Meili had dissipated quite a bit.

"Dad, Mom, you two get a good rest tonight, other things can wait until tomorrow."

Shi Jian and Li Meili's current state was not suitable for consuming the pill; Shi Quan settled them in, preparing to wait for them to have a good night's rest before they consumed the pill.

The night passed without incident.

Early the next morning, Shi Quan knocked on their room door.

After a night of rest, the two's condition was clearly much better.

After closing the room door, Shi Quan then said: "Dad, Mom, you must take this pill one by one. After you eat it, I will help you refine the medicinal power, and at the same time, I will teach you the cultivation technique."

"Meili, you go first." Shi Jian looked at Li Meili.

"Then Mom will go first; the order doesn't actually matter."

Shi Quan came to the bed and sat cross-legged in the five-hearts-facing-the-sky position, "Mom, sit down following my posture first."

Li Meili sat down quickly.

"Mom, after you take the pill, you must not panic. Remember to calm your heart and mind; I am always here."

"I know." Li Meili took a long breath.

Shi Quan then took the custom-made Yi Jing Xi Sui Pill for Li Meili out of the Hundred Treasure Bag.

After the pill was swallowed, Li Meili's face turned bright red in just two or three breaths.

Shi Jian watched this scene with worry, only to see the crystalline Blue Silver King land on Li Meili's wrists.

"Mom, don't panic, focus on feeling the changes in your body, feel the circulation paths, and try to remember the words I say next."

Shi Quan's voice appeared directly in Li Meili's mind.

Just as Li Meili felt hot and restless in her body and was in extreme pain, a cool current flowed from her hands into her body, and the manic medicinal power of the pill immediately eased significantly.

Under the guidance of Shi Quan's Nine Yin Nine Yang Divine Art, the medicinal power of the Yi Jing Xi Sui Pill was gradually guided over, circulating along with the operation of the Nine Yin Nine Yang Divine Art.

However, the route of its circulation was not the route of the Divine Art, but the cultivation path of another internal energy technique, called the Profound Yin Divine Art.

The Nine Yin Nine Yang Divine Art was special and not suitable for Li Meili and Shi Jian.

As a lower-level technique to the Nine Yin Nine Yang Divine Art, the Profound Yin Divine Art had a counterpart, the Profound Yang Divine Art; the two internal energy techniques complemented each other and were extremely suitable for a couple to cultivate together, which was the reason Shi Quan chose these two techniques for them.

Shi Quan helped Li Meili circulate the technique, besides helping her absorb the medicinal power, there were other purposes.

First, to let Li Meili remember the circulation route of the Profound Yin Divine Art so she could quickly get started.

Second, to use the medicinal power to directly open up Li Meili's Extraordinary Meridians, minimizing the disadvantages of her parents starting cultivation late.

The efficacy of this Yi Jing Xi Sui Pill was astonishing; its most important function was to improve their physique, but the two were only ordinary people and could not compare to Spirit Masters in what they could withstand. With the medicinal power of the pill, after improving their physique, it could at most only open half of the Extraordinary Meridians in their bodies, but with Shi Quan's guidance and the circulation of the technique, it could directly open all eight meridians.

Time passed minute by minute. Shi Quan and Li Meili were already shrouded in white energy mist; this process put quite a bit of pressure on Shi Quan's Internal Energy, but fortunately, the recovery speed of the Divine Art was astonishing, otherwise he would have been unable to hold on long ago.

With the opening of the final meridian, Shi Quan's voice finally sounded in Li Meili's mind, "Mom, follow the circulation route I taught you and continue to cultivate to consolidate it."

Li Meili did not make a sound; the medicinal efficacy of the Yi Jing Xi Sui Pill and the boost from opening up her Extraordinary Meridians allowed her to possess the ability to control her soul power for cultivation on her own. The feeling of dry heat vanished, leaving only a wonderful, warm, and comfortable sensation, and Li Meili quickly became immersed in it.

Shi Quan let out a long breath and got down from the bed.

The scorching sun was high in the sky; before he knew it, it was already noon.

"Dad, Mom won't wake up for a while. Wait for me to recover a bit, and then I'll help you absorb the medicinal power."

"No rush."

Shi Quan then sat cross-legged to recover the Internal Energy he had consumed.

In less than half an hour, Shi Quan had fully recovered the consumed Internal Energy.

"Dad, it's ready."

"Good."

Shi Jian suppressed the excitement in his heart and, following Shi Quan's instructions, came to the bedside.

He followed the pattern exactly.

With the experience from Li Meili, Shi Quan found it even more handy to help Shi Jian guide the medicinal power.

As the lower-level techniques of the Nine Yin Nine Yang Divine Art, the Profound Yin Divine Art and the Profound Yang Divine Art shared certain commonalities in their circulation paths, so it was not troublesome for Shi Quan to guide them.

After helping Shi Jian absorb the medicinal power and clear his meridians, the sky outside the window had already darkened.

Shi Quan quietly guarded his parents as they cultivated. Another day and night passed just like that, and Li Meili was the first to wake up from her cultivation.

Feeling the soul power surging within her body, an uncontrollable look of excitement appeared on her face.

"Mom, Dad is still cultivating; you should control yourself." Shi Quan looked at Li Meili's excited appearance and reminded her with a faint smile.

Hearing Shi Quan say this, Li Meili hurriedly covered her mouth, got off the bed, and whispered excitedly: "Xiao Quan, is the flowing air current inside my body soul power?"

"That's right, Mom. Your soul power is already at level ten now. Only after absorbing a Soul Ring will your soul power continue to increase."

Li Meili covered her mouth tightly, fearing she would wake Shi Jian, who was to the side, her eyes nearly popping out: "Xiao Quan, you, you mean..."

Shi Quan nodded: "That's right, Mom. You and Dad are the same now. Not only do you possess soul power, but you both have Innate Full Spirit Power. After absorbing a Soul Ring, your soul power levels will skyrocket. After all, besides the medicinal power, I also helped you clear all the Extraordinary Meridians in your bodies, though the specific extent of the increase will only be revealed after you obtain your first Soul Ring."

After staring blankly at Shi Quan for a long time, Li Meili finally managed to blurt out: "Xiao Quan, if your dad wakes up and finds out about this, he'll be shocked too."

"As long as you and Dad are happy, that's all that matters." Shi Quan smiled faintly.

More than two hours later.

Shi Jian also woke up from his cultivation.

After hearing Li Meili explain their situation, Shi Jian also stood there in a daze for a long time before he finally came back to his senses.

Only then did Shi Jian realize that he had severely underestimated the value of the pills they had consumed.

It was near nightfall, so the three of them stayed for another night.

Early the next morning, after packing up simply, they boarded a carriage and left Fa Yun Cheng, heading toward their next destination—the Primary Soul Hunting Forest.

On the way to the Hunting Soul Forest, Shi Quan also taught the two of them the art of disguise. The art of disguise was not difficult, and in just two or three hours, Li Meili and Shi Jian had already mastered it.

Entering the Hunting Soul Forest required a token from the Spirit Hall. Although Shi Quan did not have one, it was not troublesome to obtain one.

On the way to the Hunting Soul Forest, while passing through a city, the three of them, having disguised their appearances, took a side trip to the Spirit Hall. With Li Meili's disguised appearance and age, plus the fact that her martial soul was only Blue Silver Grass, she did not attract anyone's attention at all. Without even needing to register, they directly obtained a hunting token for the Hunting Soul Forest.
