Luo Qianyu nodded, his face clouded with a trace of sadness. "I’ve searched every place I could think of. And the Yang family has also sent people to look for her, but it’s as if she has disappeared from this world. Do you think something could have happened to her?" The possibility made his heart suddenly anxious.
"No, don’t worry! I can assure you that nothing will happen to her," Luo Shu said with conviction.
"Why?" Luo Qianyu asked, looking at Luo Shu, puzzled. Her tone made it seem like she knew something. But she didn’t even know Xiao Xuexue, so how could she possibly know?
"Woman’s intuition. Brother, rest assured, what’s yours will always be yours, and it cannot escape," Luo Shu said mysteriously.
"You little rascal, you sound like a fortune-teller," Luo Qianyu said with a laugh. He, too, hoped her words would come true.
"Brother, believe me, I won’t be wrong," Luo Shu said confidently. Yang Muxue was her mother, how could she possibly let the two of them miss each other?
Luo Qianyu’s mood suddenly improved, "Alright, I’ll believe you for now."
"You won’t be wrong to trust me. You and Sister-in-Law are destined for each other; no one can tear you apart," Luo Shu said confidently, with a smile.
Luo Qianyu looked at Luo Shu with a mix of skepticism and teasing, "Is there a branch of True Cultivation that predicts the future?" If there was, he would certainly like to learn it, then he could figure out where Xuexue was.
Luo Shu smiled mysteriously, "True Cultivation does not include foretelling the future, but I can predict the future." The future was something she had already experienced; she didn’t need to predict it.
"I can’t be bothered with you!" Luo Qianyu said, rolling his eyes at Luo Shu, stood up, and stretched, "I’ll make dinner, what would you like to eat?" Now that he was in a good mood, he suddenly felt like eating.
Luo Shu smiled mischievously at Luo Qianyu, "I’m fine with anything, I’m not picky."
Luo Qianyu gave Luo Shu a look and then walked towards the kitchen.
Watching Luo Qianyu walk away with a light step, the smile on Luo Shu’s face grew brighter. If only she could find her mother sooner.
After dinner, Luo Shu and Luo Qianyu returned to their rooms to cultivate. Ever since they knew there were many powerful True Cultivators in the world, both wanted to strengthen themselves quickly and make their family powerful.
Luo Shu entered her space and walked over to the Spiritual Spring Pool, sighing softly as she saw Xiao Qing still in a deep slumber.
She turned and walked towards the palace. After a few steps, she returned to the edge of Spiritual Spring, considering whether she should enter it to cultivate. Her strength had reached the Primary Stage of Qi Refinement, and she was now a true cultivator. Entering the Spiritual Spring to cultivate shouldn’t pose too much of a problem, right?
With this thought, she no longer hesitated and stepped into the Spiritual Spring before her.
The Spiritual Spring was icy cold to the bone, and strands of Spiritual Energy circulated around her. Luo Shu closed her eyes and began to cultivate.
As she circulated the Spiritual Power within her body, Spiritual Energy from the Spiritual Spring continually entered her, being quickly absorbed. Right now, she resembled a sponge desperately soaking up Water, making herself become plump.
Time rapidly passed by, and as more and more Spiritual Energy was absorbed, Luo Shu felt a trace of pain. The Spiritual Energy inside her began to circulate uncontrollably and rapidly throughout her body, like countless little Haozis scampering through her meridians.
The pain grew more and more intense, Luo Shu bit down hard on her lip and endured it, as drops of blood slid down from the corner of her mouth. She wanted to leave the Spiritual Spring, but her body was completely immobile. It seemed she had been too hasty!
Spiritual Energy continued to flood into her, seemingly wanting to burst her open. Just as Luo Shu despaired, thinking she was done for this time, the flow of Spiritual Power inside her began to smooth out. It was as if the previously surging ocean had suddenly become a gentle stream, flowing softly and meticulously cleansing her meridians.
The last remnants of Spiritual Power became faint threads so light they were almost invisible, converging in Luo Shu’s dantian and bringing her an unprecedented sense of comfort.
Luo Shu let out a long sigh of relief and carefully felt her own level of Cultivation, suddenly opening her eyes wide with surprise. Although the cultivation process had been dangerous, her Cultivation level had greatly increased. She was now at the Late Stage of Qi Refinement, just one step away from Foundation Establishment. The effect of the Spiritual Spring was indeed heaven-defying, no wonder Xiao Qing liked to soak here for cultivation.
Lifting her hand, she found a thick layer of black material on her skin, and Luo Shu smiled with delight. If she wasn’t mistaken, this was the true Cleansing Marrow.
After taking a quick and refreshing bath, Luo Shu got up, walked out of the Spiritual Spring, changed clothes, and left the space.
Luo Qianyu was about to knock on the door when he saw it suddenly open.
"Shu..." Luo Qianyu had barely uttered a word when he was stunned by the sight of Luo Shu. Her skin was as white as jade, and her already delicate features were now even more flawlessly perfect, so beautiful that one could not take their eyes off her.
"Brother, what’s wrong?" Luo Shu asked in surprise, looking at Luo Qianyu. She hadn’t looked in a mirror yet and wasn’t aware of her changes.
Luo Qianyu snapped back to reality, "What have you been doing these past few days? How could you have changed so much all of a sudden?"
"Are you talking about my Cultivation? I am now at the Late Stage of Qi Refinement," Luo Shu excitedly announced.
"Late Stage of Qi Refinement?" Luo Qianyu exclaimed in shock. He cultivated himself, so he knew how difficult it was to improve one’s Strength.
Luo Shu nodded, unable to hide the excitement on her face, "I have been cultivating in the Spiritual Spring all these days, and I didn’t expect such good results." Although it was dangerous at the time, the surprise that came afterward was beyond her expectations.
"I’ve also been cultivating in the Spiritual Spring, but why haven’t I seen such effects?" Luo Qianyu said somewhat dejectedly. Ever since he began True Cultivation, he would cultivate in the Spiritual Spring every day. Although his progress had also been significant, it wasn’t as exaggerated as hers; just within a few days, she had gone from the Primary Stage to the Late Stage of Qi Refinement.
"My Spiritual Spring is different from yours. I’ll show you," Luo Shu said as she grabbed Luo Qianyu’s hand, leading him into her own space.
Luo Qianyu’s view shifted in a blink, and the scenery changed dramatically. A pool of Spiritual Spring shrouded in white mist appeared before him. Although the size of the Spiritual Spring was no different from the one in his own space, the Spiritual Energy was obviously much denser.
