Chapter 206: Fire Poison Again (1/2)

Lu Qingdai's situation was not complicated. She had only absorbed the spiritual qi that she could not withstand and caused her meridians to be blocked.

If it was an ordinary cultivator, even if it was an initial-stage Qi Refinement cultivator, he could slowly circulate and refine them with the spiritual qi of his cultivation method.

It was not a problem at all.

Unfortunately, Lu Qingdai was just a mortal. Not to mention spiritual qi, she did not even have a spiritual root.

Jiang Li reached out and pressed her forehead, and pure wood attribute spiritual qi carefully entered.

As expected, the meridians in this body were densely packed with tiny crystals. These were the spiritual qi accumulated in her body.

This was because the quality of high-grade spiritual qi was too high. After pouring in a large amount of it, it could not be expelled, so it directly condensed into a crystal, becoming a life-threatening thing.

Jiang Li flipped Lu Qingdai over again and pulled open the back of her collar a little. He looked at the back of the young woman and saw that there was no longer any fairness or smoothness. Indeed, there was already blood clots there.

If this was on a dead person, it would be called livor mortis.

It was precisely that spiritual qi that blocked her meridians and caused this phenomenon because her blood qi was weak.

As a mere mortal, she could survive after soaking in the spiritual qi of the Heaven-grade room. This girl was really lucky.

It was actually very simple to save her. As long as he removed all these spiritual qi crystals, this person would be fine.

However, the problem was that her body was too weak. If he used a spell to forcefully strip it, it would hurt her. This would cause her life, which was already on the verge of death, to directly wither away.

Therefore, at this time, he could change a method. He could give her a spiritual root and let her become a cultivator.

He opened his mouth and stuffed the precious spiritual root seed into Lu Qingdai's mouth.

The small seed disappeared the moment it entered her stomach. There did not seem to be any obvious changes on Lu Qingdai's body, but in this body, a brand new spiritual root was growing healthily.

The growth of the spiritual root required spiritual qi. Without spiritual qi, one would be like those children back then and directly fall unconscious.

Now, the spiritual qi crystals in her body were the best nutrients for the spiritual root seed to sprout.

However, wait what?

Through the senses of the Nine Nether clone, Jiang Li seemed to have discovered something.

When this artificial spiritual root grew, it seemed to feel a little different.

It did not feel like it was planted in a useless seed. Instead, it felt like the time Jiang Li had consumed the spiritual root seed and made his spiritual root grow.

Could it be that Lu Qingdai's body actually had a spiritual root?

The Nine Nether Wood's main body was right beside him. It could sense the seeds that he had distributed. It was not to the extent where it would make too much of a mistake.

There was clearly another spiritual root where the artificial spiritual root took root.

Was this Lu Qingdai not a useless seed? Or rather, she was not completely useless.

However, from the blurry perspective of the spiritual root, he discovered that the spiritual root in Lu Qingdai's body seemed to be broken…?

Was this a congenital deficiency, or was it torn apart by someone after birth?

Jiang Li had the Nine Nether clone, so he knew that there was actually a way in this world to seize a cultivator's spiritual root.

When the Nine Nether Wood created a spiritual root seed, it could absorb the spiritual root of cultivators to greatly increase this speed.

This was the first time he had seen a spiritual root break. Perhaps there was a secret behind it.

However, this temporarily had nothing to do with Jiang Li. The broken spiritual root was clearly of no value. If she could not cultivate, she would still be a useless seed in the end.

In order to have an immediate effect, Jiang Li even provided a cultivation base at the first level of Qi Refinement into the spiritual root.

Although this bit of cultivation was not enough to condense the Nine Nether Earth Fruit, it was enough to help her directly become a Qi Refinement cultivator.

As long as she had the cultivation level of the first-stage Qi Refinement realm, this originally fatal spiritual qi crystal would no longer cause any problems.

The only problem now was that after consuming the spiritual root seed, the artificial spiritual root would grow from nothing and convert its energy into the host's cultivation. This process would take a few days.

However, the couple outside might not have the patience to wait for so long.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Li controlled the spiritual root seed that had yet to completely take root and slowly crawled to the center of the broken spiritual root. He connected both ends and connected the two spiritual roots.

When the spiritual roots connected, a different aura immediately emitted from Lu Qingdai's body.

A suction force emerged from her Qi Sea, slowly and firmly absorbing the spiritual qi crystal in her body.

The two broken spiritual roots greatly accelerated the process of the artificial spiritual root taking root, making it much easier.

Jiang Li was still afraid that she would absorb the cultivation base too slowly. The Nine Nether clone was still assisting from the side, accelerating the growth and absorption of the spiritual root seed.

15 minutes… 30 minutes… 45 minutes passed…

Swoosh!

In a short period of time, this originally useless seed directly entered the Qi Refinement realm without cultivating any cultivation methods or even consciousness, becoming an initial-stage Qi Refinement realm cultivator.

In fact, after absorbing the remaining spiritual qi crystals in her body, her cultivation level had already reached the second level of Qi Refinement.

After waking up from her sleep, she would realize that she had reached the Qi Refinement realm. This was really a miracle. Truly, one would definitely be blessed after surviving a calamity.

”Mm~ Xiao Die~ Xiao Die~ I want to drink water.”

At this moment, such a weak voice sounded from the bed.

The originally unconscious Lu Qingdai's eyelids suddenly twitched. She called out to her maidservant and was about to wake up.

Jiang Li was sharp-eyed and agile. With a wave of his hand, his spiritual qi swept over and restored the other party's clothes to their original state. After that, he stood at the side like an otherworldly expert.

The senses of a Nascent Soul cultivator were extremely sharp. Lu Zhengyang, who was outside, heard his daughter's voice immediately.

The couple was immediately overjoyed. They did not care about anything else and directly broke in, stirring up a gust of wind as they rushed to the side of the bed.

”Ah, Father, Mother, what are you doing?”

Lu Qingdai was captured and checked for a while. Her expression was dumbfounded. Clearly, she did not understand the situation.

She did not even know that she had been unconscious for four days and three nights. She only knew that she had gone to Green Mountain Residence behind her family's back and that she felt refreshed after waking up.

”Qingdai, Qingdai, you're awake. You're really fine. We were really frightened to death these past few days!”

Tears immediately flowed out of the City Lord's wife's eyes as she hugged Lu Qingdai and explained what had happened after she fainted.

There was concern and anger. Clearly, they had deep feelings for this daughter.

Jiang Li did not want to disturb their family reunion, so he tactfully retreated from inside.

On the other hand, Lu Zhengyang was quite calm. After checking that Lu Qingdai was indeed safe, he walked out of the room and cupped his hands in thanks to the Nine Nether clone.

”Benefactor, you are a great talent. I, Lu Zhengyang, thank you for saving my daughter's life. I hope that Benefactor will not take my previous disrespect to heart.”

A Nascent Soul cultivator bowed to a Golden Core cultivator. This scene stunned the group of medical cultivators outside.

What… What was going on?

Green Mountain Ascetic had really cured Lu Qingdai! He actually had this ability! Unbelievable!

The group of medical practitioners wanted to know what method Jiang Li had used to save such a troublesome patient.

However, now was not the time to disturb him. In this era, lineage was very important. It was very impolite to pry into other people's secret techniques.

”City Lord Lu, you praise me too much. This is my duty.”

Jiang Li was very humble in the face of City Lord Lu's gratitude.

”You're too polite. However, why does my daughter have this cultivation level?”

With the ability of a Nascent Soul cultivator, it was naturally not difficult to see Lu Qingdai's current situation. However, what method could allow a mortal without a spiritual root to possess a Qi Refinement cultivation in such a short period of time? It was simply unbelievable.

This was clearly not the effect of some secret technique.

”Actually, it's nothing much. City Lord, do you remember the two cultivators who discovered the Medicine Garden Mystic Realm first?”
