Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "Of course, no problem! Didn't I tell you? My Qingxue is so smart. How could she not be suitable for cultivation? "
Ling Qingxue immediately said happily, "Really! That's great. You almost scared me to death just now. When I think about how I'm an old woman and you still look like a young man, I … "
Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "Isn't that good? Everyone will be envious of you! An old cow eating young grass! "
Ling Qingxue hit Xia Ruofei a few times and said, "Nothing good comes out of a dog's mouth! You only know how to talk nonsense … "
Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "Wife! Let's go back! The wind is quite strong by the sea. I don't want you to catch a cold … "
"Then when are you going to teach me cultivation?" Ling Qingxue asked with anticipation.
Xia Ruofei and the others had opened a door for her, a door that led to a whole new world. Ling Qingxue seemed a little impatient.
Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "Don't be in such a hurry! I have to find the most suitable cultivation method for your element according to your body's condition! After I'm done, I have to help you adjust your body before I can start cultivating! This is called 'sharpening the knife'! "
"Okay then! You have to be quick! "Ling Qingxue didn't doubt him and nodded happily.
"Don't worry!" Xia Ruofei said, and then reminded her, "Oh right, Qingxue, about cultivation, you have to keep it a secret! It's quite sensitive, and there will be a lot of unnecessary trouble if it gets out. "
Ling Qingxue laughed and said, "I know! I won't tell anyone! And … even if I tell them, no one will believe me! "
"That's true …" Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "Just keep it a secret! It's best if you don't tell Uncle Ling about it. "
Ling Qingxue nodded. After a moment of hesitation, she asked, "Ruofei, then … can my father … cultivate?"
Xia Ruofei did not hesitate and directly said, "Uncle Ling is already too old. He has missed the best time to cultivate. In fact, we are no longer at the best age to cultivate. However, we can still cultivate through some auxiliary means."
Ling Qingxue was visibly disappointed. She said, "Oh... I see!"
Xia Ruofei patted Ling Qingxue's head with a smile and said, "Although Uncle Ling can't cultivate, as long as we succeed in cultivating, it's easy to provide him with some elixirs that can prolong his life. Not to mention other things, he can definitely live to 100 years old!"
"Really?"
"When have I ever lied to you? Don't worry! "Xia Ruofei laughed and said," Isn't your father also my father? "
Ling Qingxue blushed and said, "Of course not! Don't flatter yourself! "
"Eh? My wife has grown up! "Xia Ruofei laughed and said," You're forcing me to use the family law! "
When Ling Qingxue heard the words "family law," her face blushed even more. She couldn't help but roll her eyes at Xia Ruofei and said, "Let's go! Aren't you going back to the city for lunch? If you dawdle any longer, you'll miss the meal! "
"Haha! Let's go! "Xia Ruofei said," It's your treat today! "
The two of them left the beach and walked towards the parking lot.
Ling Qingxue didn't notice that Xia Ruofei's eyes flashed with a trace of gloominess.
The actual situation was not as optimistic as Xia Ruofei had said. There were so many people in the world, but only a few were suitable for cultivation. Ling Qingxue's physique happened to belong to the general population. Even if she forced herself to cultivate, it would be difficult for her to achieve anything. It would even be difficult for her to get started.
Xia Ruofei had made up his mind to lead Ling Qingxue onto the path of cultivation, not only to explain the matter between him and Song Wei. The scene he had just described to Ling Qingxue had actually appeared in his mind many times. It was also difficult for him to accept the reality that one day, Ling Qingxue would leave this world early …
If Ling Qingxue couldn't cultivate, then even if Xia Ruofei did his best, he could only prolong her life at most. She could live to be more than 100 years old at most. With Xia Ruofei's current cultivation, it would be easy for him to live to 150 years old. As his cultivation increased, so would his lifespan. If he could successfully reach the Foundation Establishment Stage, his lifespan would be at least 300 years old.
Xia Ruofei was very confident that he could reach the Foundation Establishment Stage.
When he was more than 100 years old, would he have to watch Ling Qingxue leave this world with regret and reluctance? Would he have to live alone for at least 100 years?
No! He would never allow that to happen! Xia Ruofei roared in his heart.
Of course, he didn't show these emotions on his face. Ling Qingxue had been in a very happy state the whole time, so she naturally didn't notice any clues.
The two of them returned to the city and happily had lunch. Of course, Ling Qingxue's happiness came from the bottom of her heart, while Xia Ruofei more or less forced a smile on his face.
After lunch, considering that Ling Qingxue still had work in the afternoon, Xia Ruofei didn't ask her to send him back. Instead, he called a taxi and went back to the farm.
Xia Ruofei had been away for about a month, so when they heard that he was back, Feng Jing and the other senior executives of the company were all waiting to report to him about this stage of the work. However, Xia Ruofei directly sent a message to the senior executives' WeChat group, saying that he was tired from the journey and wanted to take a rest first. If there was anything else, they could talk about it tomorrow.
Then, he directly went back to the small villa.
Feng Jing and the others felt that it was a little strange because Xia Ruofei had always given them the impression that he was very energetic. This kind of situation was very rare. Of course, as the boss, Xia Ruofei gave himself half a day off after a long flight. Naturally, no one would say anything, and no one would come to the small villa to disturb Xia Ruofei.
The villa's sanitation company arranged for people to clean it regularly. Little Black and the rest, as well as the Red arowana in the house, were also fed by the security department's veterans. So, this place was no different from when Xia Ruofei left last month.
Xia Ruofei wasn't in the mood to play with Little Black and the rest who were happily running around him. He patted their heads and walked straight into the villa.
He quickly went upstairs with a dark face and locked himself in the room. After taking out the Spiritual Map Scroll, he entered the dimension.
"Master!" Xia Qing respectfully called out.
"Yes!" Xia Ruofei nodded and asked straightforwardly, "You know about Qingxue's situation. Is there any way to change her body so that she can cultivate?"
When Xia Ruofei examined Ling Qingxue at the seaside, he specially communicated with Xia Qing with his divine thoughts. So, Xia Qing also knew about Ling Qingxue's situation.
Xia Qing said, "Master, changing one's body is a little complicated … Everyone's body is different. Some people's meridians are naturally stronger, some are weaker, and some are even born with blocked meridians. Of course, if their meridians are blocked, they are basically useless and can't cultivate at all."
Xia Ruofei nodded and quietly waited for Xia Qing to continue.
He had examined Ling Qingxue's situation. Although her body wasn't suitable for cultivation, it wasn't to the extent that her meridians were blocked. In fact, if her meridians were blocked, she would have died early.
Xia Qing continued, "Actually, the problem with her meridians isn't the main problem. The improvement after birth is very obvious. Although Miss Ling's meridians aren't very strong, they are above average …"
"Yes!" Xia Ruofei nodded.
He was very clear that Ling Qingxue's main problem wasn't her meridians.
Xia Qing said, "Actually, the most important factor that determines whether a person has the talent to cultivate or not is the soul. Some people are born with a strong affinity to spiritual energy, so they can cultivate with twice the result with half the effort. However, some people can't sense the existence of spiritual energy even if they try their best, so naturally they can't cultivate. What determines one's affinity to spiritual energy is one's soul."
At this point, Xia Qing paused and said, "But it's quite difficult to change the attribute of one's soul …"
Xia Ruofei frowned and asked, "Can't the Heart Coagulating Grass do the trick?"
The reason Song Wei's cultivation speed was so fast, other than her talent, was that Xia Ruofei had used a precious Heart Coagulating Grass to wake her up. This had greatly increased her cultivation talent.
Xia Qing said, "The Heart Coagulating Grass can naturally improve one's cultivation talent to a certain extent. However, on one hand, we don't know how effective this effect is. On the other hand … Master, there is no more Heart Coagulating Grass in the Spiritual Map Realm …"
Xia Ruofei's expression couldn't help but darken. Back then, in order to wake Song Wei up, he had spared no expense to upgrade the Ring-Tu space by two levels. A small island had appeared in the Mountain Sea Realm, and the only Heart Coagulating Grass had been picked from that island.
"Wait!" Xia Ruofei shouted, "Xia Qing, the Heart Coagulating Grass has only been picked for use. I remember you saying that as long as there's enough time, it can still grow! Is that so? "
Xia Ruofei remembered that he had described it as harvesting chives.
Xia Qing nodded and said, "That's right, but the Heart Coagulating Grass takes more than ten years to mature. Master clearly can't wait that long."
Xia Ruofei asked anxiously, "Don't we have time acceleration? If we transplant the Heart Coagulating Grass to the Archean Realm and stack the Time Array Flags, more than ten years will only take two to three days! "
After Xia Ruofei finished speaking, he saw Xia Qing's strange expression. He couldn't help but ask, "By the way, I've always wanted to ask you! Why are those spirit herbs planted on the Mountain Sea Realm's island and not in the Archean Realm? There's a thirty-fold time acceleration there! "
Xia Qing said with a wry smile, "Master, there's definitely a reason for doing so! If we could simply use the Time Acceleration Array Formation to plant large amounts of old spirit herbs, my previous master, Perfected Mountain River, would have done so long ago … "
Xia Ruofei frowned and asked, "What's the problem?"
Ordinary crops, including Golden Silk Cedar and ginseng, could be planted in the Archean Realm and enjoy the benefits of time acceleration. Why couldn't those spirit herbs? Xia Ruofei was puzzled.
Xia Qing said, "Spiritual energy! It's mainly because of spiritual energy! If these spirit herbs want to grow, they need far more spiritual energy than ordinary crops. The reason why they can only be planted in the Mountain Sea Realm is because the Spirit Map Realm can recover by itself. If they are planted in the Archean Realm, the total amount of spiritual energy needed to grow the spirit herbs will not change, but the speed of consumption will increase by thirty times. The spiritual energy absorbed by the Spirit Map Realm will not be enough to support it. It will definitely damage its foundation! "
Xia Qing paused for a moment and glanced at Xia Ruofei. "Master, this is the same reason why I reminded you not to cultivate in the Spirit Map Realm for long periods of time. If we do as you say and stack the Time Array Flags, it's equivalent to consuming more than ten years' worth of spiritual energy in three to four days. The Spirit Map Realm definitely won't be able to replenish it in time. Such a large amount of spiritual energy might even cause the entire Spirit Map Realm to collapse! "
Xia Ruofei could not help but fall into a daze. So this was the reason.
In the past, regardless of whether it was his cultivation or planting of other crops, the amount of spiritual energy he consumed was nothing compared to the amount of spiritual energy needed to mature a spirit herb like the Heart Condensing Grass. Therefore, as long as he did not cultivate in the space without restraint, there would not be a problem no matter what.
However, if he rashly transplanted the Heart Condensing Grass into the Archean Realm, there would be a huge problem!
"Is there no other way?" Xia Ruofei's expression turned somewhat ugly.
He had already discovered that Ling Qingxue's spiritual energy affinity was extremely low. If he wanted to forcefully change her physique and allow her to embark on the path of cultivation, the Heart Condensing Grass was essential.
Did he have to make Ling Qingxue wait for more than ten years? That was definitely unrealistic.
Xia Qing hesitated for a moment before saying, "Master, if you don't care about the price, it's not impossible to use time acceleration to mature the Heart Condensing Grass …"
"What price?" Xia Ruofei hurriedly asked.
"Spirit Crystals!" Xia Qing said, "The only way is to set up a Spirit Gathering Array and consume the spiritual energy from the Spirit Crystals for the Heart Condensing Grass. This way, the spiritual energy in the Spirit Map World will not be affected."
"That's right!" Xia Ruofei's eyes could not help but light up as he said, "Can't we just use Spirit Crystals? Xia Qing, it's not good for you to speak halfway! You have to change it in the future! If you have such a good idea, why are you still hiding it? You should have said it from the beginning … "
Xia Ruofei saw Xia Qing's strange expression, and his excited expression froze. He asked weakly, "Is it very expensive?"
Xia Qing nodded and said, "A stalk of Heart Condensing Grass needs at least five Spirit Crystals' worth of spiritual energy to mature again …"
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. One had to know that the amount of Spiritual Qi in a Spiritual Crystal was quite terrifying. Basically, the amount of Spiritual Qi in a Spiritual Crystal was equivalent to the total amount of Spiritual Qi in the entire Spiritual Map space.
He only had about a hundred Spirit Crystals in total!
A hundred Spirit Crystals might seem like a lot, but they would be consumed very quickly. Now, Xia Ruofei was not cultivating alone. Tang Haoran had given him a Spirit Crystal, Song Wei had another Spirit Crystal, and he had used half of one for himself. In the future, if Ling Qingxue cultivated, he would at least give her Spirit Crystals. It was even possible that Li Yifu and Xia Ruofei would give him Spirit Crystals in the future.
With so many people using it together, how long could a hundred Spirit Crystals last?
Xia Ruofei had been cultivating for so long, but he had not even used up a single Spirit Crystal. Nurturing a stalk of grass required five Spirit Crystals! It was no wonder that Perfected Mountain River did not dare to plant those spiritual herbs in the Primordial Realm …
