The Blue Silver King, by devouring the Blue Silver Emperor, gains the qualification to advance to a Blue Silver Emperor.
100,000 Year Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone.
Soul Bone modifier.
The wait and effort of the past half month were truly well worth it.
His figure blurred as he exited the cave, Shi Quan immediately reverted to his original appearance, and swaggered back to Shi Family Village.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back."
Hearing Shi Quan's voice from outside, Li Meili and his father both hurried out.
"It's good you're back, it's good you're back."
They didn't know what Shi Quan had gone to do, but they both had a feeling there must have been danger. Now seeing Shi Quan return safely, they were naturally overjoyed.
"You didn't encounter any problems, did you?"
After entering the house, Shi Jian finally asked.
"Don't worry, Dad, everything went smoothly." Shi Quan nodded, "How about you two? How are your preparations coming along?"
"Almost done. You can depart whenever you wish."
Shi Quan thought for a moment, "Then let's leave the day after tomorrow. Leaving right after I just returned would seem too rushed."
"That works too. These two days I can properly say goodbye to your Uncle Shi and the others. Once we leave this time, who knows when we'll see each other again." A hint of reluctance and melancholy appeared in Shi Jian's eyes.
Shi Quan comforted him, "It's alright, Dad. When your son is strong enough in the future, then you two can live wherever you want."
"Haha, good, Dad is waiting for that day." Shi Jian happily patted Shi Quan's shoulder.
Two days later.
Shi Family Village, village entrance.
Most of the villagers already knew that Shi Jian and Li Meili's family were preparing to move out of Shi Family Village. Especially the village chief, Shi Gandang, who was even more reluctant about the Shi Quan family's departure.
However, people strive for higher ground just as water flows to lower places; the villagers all understood this Dao.
"We're leaving, Village Chief."
Shi Jian, Li Meili, and Shi Quan stood at the village entrance, bidding farewell to everyone in the village.
Shi Jian and Li Meili's belongings had all been put into Shi Quan's snow jade bracelet, so all three of them had empty hands.
"A-Jian, Meili, Shi Quan, come back often to visit when you have time in the future. Our Shi Family Village will always be your home." Village Chief Shi Gandang waved, bidding farewell to the three of them.
Even the usually composed Shi Jian had slightly red eyes, not to mention the emotional Li Meili, whose tears had long been flowing uncontrollably.
Filled with reluctance, the two ultimately boarded the carriage, tearfully bidding farewell to Shi Family Village, where they had lived for decades.
"It's alright, Meili, we can still come back in the future." Shi Jian gently comforted Li Meili inside the carriage, while Shi Quan sat outside, driving the carriage, his heart filled with helplessness.
If he could avoid leaving, why would Shi Quan take them away?
The carriage traveled all night until deep into the night, finally arriving at Fayun City, one hundred fifty li away from Shi Family Village.
After finding a suitable hotel for lodging, they parked the carriage next to the hotel's stable.
After a day of travel, Shi Jian and Li Meili's feelings of homesickness had dissipated considerably.
"Dad, Mom, you two should get a good rest tonight. We can talk about other things tomorrow."
Shi Jian and Li Meili's current state was not suitable for consuming Medicinal Pills. Shi Quan settled them down, preparing to have them consume the Medicinal Pills after they had a good night's rest.
The night passed without a word.
Early the next morning, Shi Quan knocked on their door.
After a night of rest, their condition had clearly improved significantly.
After closing the room door, Shi Quan finally spoke, "Dad, Mom, you two need to take this Medicinal Pill one at a time. After you consume it, I will help you refine the Medicinal Power and simultaneously teach you the Cultivation Technique."
"Meili, you go first." Shi Jian looked at Li Meili.
"Then let Mom go first. The order doesn't really matter."
Shi Quan came to the bed and sat down cross-legged in the five-heart-facing-heaven posture, "Mom, you sit down in my posture first."
Li Meili quickly sat down.
"Mom, after taking the Medicinal Pill, do not panic. Remember to calm your mind and Qi. I will always be here."
"Got it." Li Meili exhaled deeply.
Shi Quan then took out the customized Marrow Cleansing Pill for Li Meili from his hundred treasure pouch.
After the Medicinal Pill entered her stomach, Li Meili's face turned crimson in just two or three breaths.
Shi Jian watched this scene with concern, only to see the crystalline Blue Silver King land on Li Meili's wrists.
"Mom, don't panic. Carefully feel the changes within your Physique, feel the circulating pathways, and try your best to remember what I'm about to say."
Shi Quan's voice appeared directly in Li Meili's mind.
When Li Meili felt the intense heat and unbearable pain within her Physique, a cool current of Qi flowed into her body from her hands, and the turbulent Medicinal Power within the Medicinal Pill immediately eased considerably.
Under the guidance of Shi Quan's Nine Yin Nine Yang Divine Skill, the Medicinal Power of the Marrow Cleansing Pill was gradually guided, circulating along with the Nine Yin Nine Yang Divine Skill.
However, its circulation path was not the Divine Skill's operational route, but rather the cultivation path of another Internal Skill Cultivation Technique, named Profound Yin Divine Skill.
The Nine Yin Nine Yang Divine Skill is special and not suitable for Li Meili and Shi Jian.
The Profound Yin Divine Skill, as a subordinate Cultivation Technique to the Nine Yin Nine Yang Divine Skill, also has a corresponding Profound Yang Divine Skill. These two Internal Skill Cultivation Techniques complement each other, making them extremely suitable for couples to Cultivate together, which is why Shi Quan chose these two Cultivation Techniques for them.
Shi Quan assisted Li Meili in circulating the Cultivation Technique, not only to help her absorb the Medicinal Power but also for other purposes.
First, to help Li Meili remember the circulation route of the Profound Yin Divine Skill, allowing her to quickly get started.
Second, to directly open Li Meili's Eight Extraordinary Meridians with the help of the Medicinal Power, minimizing the disadvantages of her parents starting Cultivation late.
The Marrow Cleansing Pill has astonishing efficacy, and its most important function is to improve their Physique. However, they are just ordinary people, and what they can withstand is ultimately incomparable to a Spirit Master. With the Medicinal Power of the Medicinal Pill, after improving their Physique, at most only half of their Eight Extraordinary Meridians could be opened. But with Shi Quan's guidance and the circulation of the Cultivation Technique, all eight Meridians can be directly connected.
Time passed by second by second. Shi Quan and Li Meili's bodies were already enveloped by white energy mist. This process put considerable pressure on Shi Quan's Internal Energy, but fortunately, the Divine Skill's recovery speed was astonishing, otherwise he would have given up long ago.
As the last Meridian was connected, Shi Quan's voice finally sounded in Li Meili's mind, "Mom, continue to Cultivate and consolidate according to the circulation route I taught you."
Li Meili did not speak. The efficacy of the Marrow Cleansing Pill and the amplification from opening the Eight Extraordinary Meridians gave her the ability to control spirit power for Cultivation on her own. The feeling of dryness disappeared, leaving only a warm and comfortable sensation, and Li Meili quickly became immersed in it.
Shi Quan exhaled deeply and got off the bed.
The scorching sun was high in the sky; it was already noon without them realizing it.
"Dad, Mom won't wake up for a while. Wait for me to recover, then I'll help you absorb the Medicinal Power."
"No hurry."
Shi Quan immediately sat cross-legged to recover his depleted Internal Energy.
In about half an hour, Shi Quan had fully recovered all the Internal Energy he had expended.
"Dad, I'm ready."
"Good."
Shi Jian suppressed the excitement in his heart and came to the bed as Shi Quan instructed.
He followed suit.
With Li Meili's experience, Shi Quan found it even easier to guide the Medicinal Power for Shi Jian.
As subordinate Cultivation Techniques of the Nine Yin Nine Yang Divine Skill, the Profound Yin Divine Skill and Profound Yang Divine Skill share some commonality in their circulation routes, so Shi Quan found guiding them not troublesome.
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 like this, and Li Meili was the first to awaken from her Cultivation.
Feeling the surging spirit power flowing within her Physique, her face showed an uncontrollable expression of excitement.
"Mom, Dad is still Cultivating, control yourself." Shi Quan looked at Li Meili's excited expression and reminded her with a faint smile.
Hearing Shi Quan say this, Li Meili quickly covered her mouth, and excitedly whispered, "Shi Quan, is the flowing Qi within my Physique spirit power?"
"That's right, Mom, your spirit power is already Rank ten. Only after absorbing a spirit ring will your spirit power continue to increase."
Li Meili tightly covered her mouth, afraid of waking Shi Jian beside her, her eyes almost bulging out, "Shi Quan, you, you mean…"
Shi Quan nodded, "That's right, Mom. You and Dad are both the same now. Not only do you possess spirit power, but you both have Innate full spirit power. After absorbing a spirit ring, your spirit power Rank will skyrocket. After all, besides the Medicinal Power, I also helped you open all the Eight Extraordinary Meridians within your Physique. However, the exact extent of the increase will only become clear after you obtain your first spirit ring."
Li Meili stared blankly at Shi Quan for a long time before she finally managed to blurt out a sentence, "Shi Quan, if your dad wakes up and knows about this, he'll be greatly astonished too."
"It's good as long as you and Dad are happy." Shi Quan smiled faintly.
More than an hour later.
Shi Jian also awakened from his Cultivation.
After Li Meili explained their situation, Shi Jian also remained stunned for a long time before finally coming back to his senses.
Shi Jian then realized that he had greatly underestimated the value of the Medicinal Pills they had consumed.
It was nearing nightfall, and the three of them stayed for another night.
The next morning, after a simple tidying up, they boarded the carriage and left Fayun City, heading towards their next destination—the Elementary Soul Hunting Forest.
On the way to the Soul Hunting Forest, Shi Quan also taught them the art of disguise. The art of disguise was not difficult, and within two or three hours, Li Meili and Shi Jian had already mastered it.
Entering the Soul Hunting Forest also required a token from the Spirit Hall. Although Shi Quan did not have one, obtaining a token was not troublesome.
On the way to the Soul Hunting Forest, while passing through a city, the three disguised individuals made a detour to the Spirit Hall. With Li Meili's disguised appearance and age, coupled with her Martial Spirit being only Blue Silver Grass, it did not attract anyone's attention at all. She even obtained a Soul Hunting Forest hunting token directly without even needing to register.
