The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Tang Rao was startled by the exclamations of the two, what the heck is going on!

Even if I really used the Breathing Technique to gather Spiritual Energy, is there a need to be this excited?

Given enough time, anyone should be able to gather it, right?

"How is this possible, you were tested as a child, and clearly had no Qi Mansion, how could you possibly gather Spiritual Energy!" Bai Xiaotong said in disbelief.

No Qi Mansion?

Tang Rao was slightly stunned.

Damn, I almost forgot about that.

The so-called Qi Mansion, in the Nine Realms and Seventy-two Domains, should be the Spirit Root.

Without a Spirit Root, naturally, one cannot cultivate.

"I have no idea, maybe my balls got smashed and my body structure changed a bit. I strangely started to feel the qi, and then I could gather Spiritual Energy into my Dantian," Tang Rao said, waving his hands.

Bai Xiaotong looked stunned, can it really work like that?

Honestly, if smashing one's balls could enable gathering qi to cultivate, there would definitely be a long line of people waiting to get castrated.

As for Lei Li, her expression was blank.

She always thought Tang Rao was just good at moves, and never expected that Tang Rao had already begun cultivating Spirit Energy.

For Lei Li, cultivating Spiritual Energy was what she had always desired, but there was nothing she could do, she did not possess a Qi Mansion.

"This is fate, I guess," Lei Li said, looking somewhat downcast.

Many times, fate works like this. You eagerly pursue something yet never obtain it; while the person you deem worthless effortlessly gets it.

"Hurry up, let your aunt check it out!" Bai Xiaotong rushed to Tang Rao, grabbing his arm.

A few seconds later, Bai Xiaotong's face turned slightly red, looking uncontrollably excited.

"Hahaha! Hahaha! He really opened a Qi Mansion!" Bai Xiaotong laughed like a fool.

"Aunt, don't laugh so scarily, it's kind of terrifying," Tang Rao rolled his eyes, his aunt was really too neurotic.

"Hahaha, my great-nephew, my dear great-nephew!" Bai Xiaotong suddenly pulled Tang Rao into her embrace.

Tang Rao: "..."

He really wanted to tell Bai Xiaotong: We can talk, no need to get so overwhelmingly passionate.

It's not like having big boobs gives you the right to take it out on me...

"No way, I have to tell your grandfather about this. Hey hey, our Bai Family has one more expert who opened a Qi Mansion!" Bai Xiaotong was incredibly excited.

Tang Rao's thought was... does this even count as being an expert?

I haven't even fully completed gathering qi yet!

At this level of ability, in the Nine Realms and Seventy-two Domains, nobody would even hire me to guard the door.

"No wonder you've been buying up old ginseng, that stuff's good, it replenishes Spiritual Energy! Here, take this." Bai Xiaotong brought over a gift box.

"This was originally meant as a gift for your grandfather, but giving it to that old guy would be pointless. It's better to give it to my dear great-nephew." Bai Xiaotong, squinting her eyes, vigorously rubbed Tang Rao's head as if trying to rub him to death.

Tang Rao opened the box, inside was a jade box, looking extremely exquisite.

The moment the jade box was opened, Tang Rao's eyes went wide.

"Damn!" Two words flew out of Tang Rao's mouth.

"Life Spirit Flower!" Tang Rao's eyes were glued to the item lying inside the jade box.

He definitely wasn't mistaken, crystal clear, the Spiritual Energy was contained and did not disperse, it was definitely the Life Spirit Flower.

This was the main ingredient for making Foundation Establishment Pills, with this huge Life Spirit Flower, if paired with complete medicinal materials, it could at least make ten or eight pills.

Foundation Establishment Pill, even in the Nine Realms and Seventy-two Domains, was a scarce type of Spiritual Medicine.

Such a complete Life Spirit Flower, if placed in the Nine Realms and Seventy-two Domains, would likely cause many people to fight over it.

After all, not everyone is a genius; in the Nine Realms and Seventy-two Domains, many people will be stuck at the peak of the Gathering Energy stage for their entire life. To achieve Foundation Establishment, without enough talent, one can only rely on Foundation Establishment Pills.

"What Life Spirit Flower? This is a Crystal Orchid, just a rare variant. The Spiritual Energy it contains is equivalent to a three-hundred-year-old ginseng. Chewing it up and eating it directly is quite nice, and at least it tastes much better than old ginseng," said Bai Xiaotong.

"Chewing it up and eating it directly?" Tang Rao was somewhat baffled by what Bai Xiaotong said.

Are you out of your mind? Chewing and eating a Life Spirit Flower? Do you have any idea how wasteful that is?

Even when I, Tang Rao, was a local tyrant, I never did anything as crazy as this.

"Otherwise, what? Soak it in water to drink? I've tried that, the effects are mediocre," Bai Xiaotong smacked her lips and said.

Tang Rao: "..."

Although the Life Spirit Flower does not contain much Spiritual Energy, it can perfectly stimulate the Spiritual Energy in various materials. Among the six ingredients for the Foundation Establishment Pill, only the Life Spirit Flower is irreplaceable.

"Go on, eat it and see how it works," urged Bai Xiaotong.

Eat?

I'll eat your big-headed ghost.

"Auntie, can I keep it hidden first?" Tang Rao said. If he really chewed and ate it, he feared he might slap himself later.

"You are really dilly-dallying, kid. But anyway, since I've already given it to you, do as you like," Bai Xiaotong no longer insisted. What she wanted most now was to inform her family about Tang Rao's breakthrough in opening the Qi Mansion.

Although Tang Rao has the surname Tang, he is also considered part of the Bai Family.

The Bai Family gaining another cultivator who has opened the Qi Mansion is definitely big news.

You see, the Bai Family has been around for a hundred years, and the total number of family members has reached two hundred. However, only about twenty are cultivators who have opened their Qi Mansion.

Even Bai Yushu couldn't open his Qi Mansion. Of course, if Bai Yushu could, the Bai Family wouldn't agree to his marriage to Tang Renwang.

...

In the afternoon, Tang Rao didn't go out, hiding in his room and digesting all the remaining Old Ginseng Pills.

Because he had used up two breaths of energy in the fight with Pang Yuan earlier, after eating these Old Ginseng Pills, twenty-eight breaths of energy gathered in Tang Rao's Dantian.

Once the one hundred two-hundred-year-old ginsengs from Jiang Langyue arrive tomorrow, he would be able to condense a hundred breaths of energy and then break through to the Gathering Energy stage.

It's also fortunate that Bai Xiaotong doesn't know about Tang Rao's speed; otherwise, she would probably freak out.

Among those twenty or so from the Bai Family who have opened Qi Mansion, Bai Xiaotong is considered exceptionally talented.

But even so, it took her nearly ten years to successfully gather energy.

"Life Spirit Flower... tsks tsks, I didn't expect Blue Star to have such good stuff," Tang Rao once again took out the Life Spirit Flower, looking at it from left to right.

Although Tang Rao's talent does not require a Foundation Establishment Pill, it is quite useful after successful refinement.

Foundation Establishment Pills can be used not only for Foundation Establishment but also for improving physique and increasing Spiritual Energy.

This is much better than any Old Ginseng Pill.

Of course, to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, Tang Rao still needs other materials.

This poses a problem.

Things like Golden Head Grass, Boundless Vine, and such, Tang Rao searched, and there's simply none on Blue Star.

Of course, they might exist but under different names.

Just like this Life Spirit Flower, here it's called Crystal Orchid...

Speaking of Crystal Orchid, Tang Rao even searched it on his phone.

The web page opened in an instant... and Tang Rao was somewhat shocked.

Because according to the internet, Crystal Orchid, although rare, is not particularly precious.

Moreover, many pharmacies even sell them.
