After chatting with You Ming An for a while, Song Cha returned to her cave dwelling.
The first thing Song Cha did upon returning and sealing the barrier was to open the storage bag Shao Yumiao had given her and inspect its contents.
As soon as she opened the storage bag, Song Cha was stunned by the numerous jade boxes and jade bottles inside.
In the cultivation world, many natural treasures lose their spiritual energy after being harvested. To preserve this energy, they are stored in jade boxes and jade bottles, ensuring the spiritual energy remains intact.
There were clearly over a hundred jade boxes containing natural treasures in the storage bag.
Song Cha’s eyes lit up with excitement.
She took out one of the jade boxes and opened it.
As soon as the jade box was opened, a rich spiritual energy wafted out.
In the center of the jade box was a small, light blue flower.
Song Cha didn’t recognize the flower.
While she was pondering how to identify the flower, Song Cha noticed something.
She found a label on the back of the jade box with information about the flower.
Song Cha began to read the description.
After reading it, Song Cha had a good understanding of the flower.
The flower was called Blue Water Flower, a typical water-element spiritual flower. It could help cultivators with water spiritual roots enhance their roots. Although it could only enhance them by one-tenth, it was still considered a top-tier natural treasure.
It’s well known that a cultivator’s most important innate talent is their spiritual root. Enhancing the spiritual root would bring significant benefits.
Song Cha set the jade box aside and began opening another one.
This time, the jade box contained a jade bamboo shoot-like item called Songxi, which Song Cha didn’t recognize. Fortunately, Shao Yumiao had anticipated her unfamiliarity and included detailed descriptions on the back of each jade box.
This jade bamboo shoot is called Jade Shoot. It can help cultivators enhance their meridians and speed up their cultivation process.
Song Cha opened these jade boxes one by one.
Each item inside these jade boxes was extremely beneficial for cultivators.
Just by looking at these items, Song Cha could see the sincerity in Shao Yumiao’s apology.
In the past, Song Cha had received apologies from others.
But none of those apologies were as sincere as Shao Yumiao’s.
With such a sincere apology, how could Song Cha not forgive Shao Yumiao?
Or rather, after seeing the detailed introduction of the first Blue Water Flower, Song Cha had already forgiven Shao Yumiao.
After looking through all the jade boxes, Song Cha was about to stop checking the storage bag when he noticed a round jade bead in the corner of the bag.
The moment Song Cha saw the jade bead, she was completely captivated by it.
The jade bead wasn’t large, and its entire body was milky white, giving off a crystalline feel.
Although the jade bead was beautiful, the cultivation world was full of beautiful things.
What made this jade bead so captivating to Song Cha was that in this book, Long Aotian also had a similar jade bead.
Long Aotian’s jade bead was bought from a small stall for ten mid-grade spirit stones when he broke through to the Nascent Soul stage.
This jade bead was called the Spirit Spring Bead.
Yes, the Spirit Spring Bead.
In the story, after obtaining the Spirit Spring Bead, Long Aotian placed the only Spirit Spring Bead in the entire plot into water, turning the water into spirit-rich spring water.
This spirit-rich spring water was highly beneficial for cultivators. After exhausting their spiritual energy, drinking a cup of spirit spring water could replenish their spiritual energy. It could also accelerate the healing of injuries.
Moreover, this spiritual energy could enhance physical fitness, expel toxins, and was extremely beneficial for cultivators.
When Song Cha first arrived in this world, she greatly desired this Spirit Spring Bead.
She had been waiting for the plot to unfold, ready to obtain the Spirit Spring Pearl at any moment.
However, before the plot reached that point, Song Cha found a jade bead that looked remarkably like the Spirit Spring Bead in the storage bag given by Shao Yumiao.
Song Cha poured a cup of water into a jade cup and placed the jade bead into it, observing the changes.
As soon as the jade bead touched the water, a faint spiritual energy began to gather in the water.
Over time, the spiritual energy in the water gradually increased.
After observing for just half an hour, the spiritual energy in the water had accumulated to the amount of a high-grade spirit stone.
Seeing this, Song Cha was stunned.
Although the spiritual energy in the water was equivalent to a high-grade spirit stone, it was much purer.
After all, high-grade spirit stones, while already very pure, were not supreme-grade spirit stones. They still contained some impurities, making absorption slower.
But this cup of Spirit Spring Water was the purest.
Looking at the cup of Spirit Spring Water, Song Cha instantly felt elated.
With the Spirit Spring Bead, she could rapidly improve her cultivation without any worries.
However, Song Cha used a detection spell to check the Spirit Spring Water for any harmful substances and, after confirming it was safe, drank it all in one go.
The moment she drank the Spirit Spring Water, not only did the spiritual energy within the water enter her body, but she also found that her speed of absorbing external spiritual energy had increased several times.
This single cup of water allowed Song Cha to cultivate for a full hour.
After an hour of cultivation, Song Cha realized the benefits of the Spirit Spring Bead.
Moreover, Song Cha discovered a highlight about the Spirit Spring Bead.
Spirit Spring Bead, Spirit Spring.
These two things were clearly a matching set.
Song Cha suddenly remembered the spiritual spring in her portable space.
In the portable space that Song Cha possessed, there was spiritual spring water.
And this spiritual spring water was clearly better than ordinary water.
If the spiritual spring pearl had such a good effect when placed in ordinary water, wouldn’t its effect be even greater if placed in the spiritual spring?
With this thought, Song Cha entered her portable space.
After entering the portable space, Song Cha looked at the spiritual spring.
The spiritual spring, which had been mostly taken by Song Cha some time ago, had almost fully recovered.
Song Cha slowly placed the spiritual spring pearl into the spiritual spring.
When placing the spiritual spring pearl into the spiritual spring water, Song Cha was prepared for it to have no effect.
However, when she actually placed the spiritual spring pearl into the spiritual spring water, she was stunned.
As soon as the spiritual spring pearl was placed into the spiritual spring water, a dense spiritual energy burst out from the spring, instantly doubling the spiritual energy in the entire portable space.
And as time passed, the spiritual energy in the spring increased more and more.
Song Cha waited for half an hour as usual before she started to pour a cup of spiritual spring water.
Song Cha took a jade cup and began to drink.
As soon as the spiritual spring water entered her mouth, she widened her eyes in surprise.
The spiritual energy in this spiritual spring water was ten times more concentrated than the spiritual energy she had previously drunk.
The quality of this cup of water was at least equivalent to ten top-grade spiritual stones.
Song Cha: “!!!”
What kind of divine thing is this!
At the moment she drank the spiritual spring water, Song Cha felt like she was floating.
At this moment, Song Cha even felt that she didn’t need spirit stones at all.
As long as she had the Spirit Spring Bead combined with the Spirit Spring, just drinking the spring water would rapidly increase her cultivation.
The spiritual energy, ten times denser than before, circulated through Song Cha’s meridians, and her absorption rate of the spiritual energy also sped up.
Song Cha cultivated through the entire night.
When she woke up the next day, she felt refreshed.
What made Song Cha even happier was that her night’s cultivation was equivalent to ten days of her usual practice.
What did this mean?
It meant that her future cultivation speed could increase tenfold.
Just as Song Cha finished savoring this delightful change, she discovered something even more exciting.
The spiritual energy in the space had multiplied several times, and the spiritual energy in the spring water had also increased.
The spiritual energy in the spring water grew as the Spirit Spring Bead stayed in the spring longer.
This also meant that the spiritual energy inside could increase.
In such a situation, even if her cultivation level increased, she wouldn’t worry about the spiritual energy in the spring water being insufficient.
At this moment, Song Cha understood even more why Long Aotian could ascend.
Now, she had only obtained a part of Long Aotian’s golden finger, and her cultivation had already improved so much. How much more would Long Aotian, who had obtained the golden finger step by step, have improved?
Not to mention Long Aotian, even a pig could ascend to Transcending Tribulation after being showered with so many heavenly treasures.
Thinking of this, Song Cha felt even better.
The more golden fingers she obtained, the fewer Long Aotian would have.
One day, she too would ascend.
Just as Song Cha was deep in thought, she suddenly felt the barrier outside her cave dwelling being disturbed.
Song Cha quickly emerged from her space and walked out of the cave.
The person outside was Shao Yumiao.
She was patiently waiting outside the cave.
Standing next to Shao Yumiao was You Ming An.
“Sister Yumiao, Sister Ming An,” Song Cha greeted them.
Seeing Song Cha come out, Shao Yumiao was delighted. “Cha Cha, can you go shopping with me today?”
Song Cha: “…”
If it were yesterday, Song Cha would still be pondering the sincerity of Shao Yumiao’s apology. But after receiving the rare treasures Shao Yumiao gave her, Song Cha no longer had any doubts.
The treasures Shao Yumiao gave her were simply too many and seemed quite expensive. Conservatively estimated, these treasures were worth millions of high-grade spirit stones.
“Of course, I’d love to go shopping with you, sister,” Song Cha replied without hesitation.
Having been rejected by Song Cha multiple times, Shao Yumiao was finally thrilled to be accepted this time.
She felt she had grasped the true essence of love: true love requires spending money.
Just like her father, under his financial onslaught, didn’t her mother fall deeper and deeper in love?
And as long as she spent more money, Song Cha’s feelings for her would also deepen.
But while Shao Yumiao was happy, You Ming An was not.
Yes, You Ming An was very unhappy now.
In fact, the moment Song Cha came out, You Ming An was already unhappy.
You Ming An understood Song Cha quite well.
When Song Cha took the storage bag inside and her cultivation level significantly increased the next day, You Ming An knew it was because Song Cha had used the items Shao Yumiao gave her.
You Ming An never doubted this.
She remembered that in modern society, Song Cha often received gifts.
She would open and use those gifts one by one.
You Ming An still remembered that among those gifts, quite a few were cat food for her.
In fact… You Ming An clearly remembered that at first, she wasn’t Song Cha’s cat.
Originally, she was just one of many cats in a pet store.
Then, one day, a boy came to the store to buy a cat for a girl he liked, and he bought You Ming An.
And this cat was given to Song Cha.
After You Ming An was given to Song Cha, she started living with her.
After becoming Song Cha’s cat, although Song Cha was cold, she never mistreated You Ming An.
You Ming An remembered that Song Cha would always take out different flavors of cat food from various gift boxes.
Yes, Song Cha never actively bought cat food.
All the cat food You Ming An ate was taken out from beautifully packaged gift boxes with ribbons by Song Cha.
With this abundance of cat food, You Ming An lived a luxurious life that ordinary cats could never achieve.
So, knowing Song Cha well enough, You Ming An knew that Song Cha was very receptive to gifts.
Song Cha’s recent increase in cultivation was also because she used Shao Yumiao’s gift.
Thinking of this, You Ming An was very unhappy.
Song Cha was her owner and should be using her gifts.
But this thought meant that You Ming An had to face the problem of having no money.
You Ming An needed money.
For some reason, the moment the thought of lacking money crossed her mind, the first image that popped into You Ming An’s head was that of a black-clad, masked assassin from TV dramas.
She remembered that in those dramas, assassins always earned a fortune from a single job.
If she could become an assassin, wouldn’t she be able to get rich and take care of Song Cha?
Then she could buy all sorts of gifts for Song Cha, and every time Song Cha’s cultivation improved, it would be because of her?
Thinking about this, You Ming An found it hard to control herself.
She… wanted to become a cold-blooded, ruthless assassin who could earn countless spirit stones every day.
After finishing her daydream, You Ming An looked up at Song Cha.
She had thought Song Cha would still be in front of her.
But she was disappointed.
All she saw was Song Cha holding Shao Yumiao’s hand, ready to go shopping with her.
You Ming An: “…”
You Ming An narrowed her eyes.
Having no spirit stones was truly the most terrifying thing in this world.
It made the woman she loved hold someone else’s hand and happily go out.
She had to rise up.
She had to change all of this!
