Tempering the Spirit Body

"Great!" Situ Ruoyan kept a smile on her face and looked at Su Qingjue and Su Zinin, appearing incredibly happy.

"Jue'er, Nian'er, Mo'er, your father will publicly announce your identities at the celebration ceremony. What do you think?" Nalan Wenhao looked at his three children, feeling indebted to them.

"Dad, this might cause quite a stir. After all, Mother married into the Su Wei Chen family in the past, and her current status is esteemed. If this news reaches the Li Xia Kingdom, it may tarnish her reputation," Su Qingjue expressed his concerns. He didn't care about his own status but was more concerned about protecting his mother from harm.

"Jue'er, you don't have to worry about that. Your mother is prepared," Nalan Wenhao assured him.

Situ Ruoyan appeared indifferent, as long as she could be united with her children, she didn't care about those so-called identities. She had worked hard all these years for the safety and reunion of her children.

"Brother is right. We cannot let Mother's reputation be tarnished," Su Zinin shared the same sentiment.

Situ Ruoyan and Nalan Wenhao glanced at them, both wearing disapproving expressions.

"Jue'er, Mo'er, Nian'er, you don't need to worry. Your father has a way to handle it," Nalan Wenhao gave them a reassuring look.

Mu Yunxuan remained silent, occasionally picking up food for Su Qi and Su Li.

Since Nalan Wenhao was confident in protecting Situ Ruoyan from harm, they didn't discuss it further. Everyone enjoyed their meal happily.

After dinner, everyone was tired from the day, so they retired to their rooms to rest.

In Mingyue Pavilion, the Su Zimo family of four sat together and chatted. Su Zimo had a vague feeling that she was about to undergo a breakthrough as she glanced at Mu Yunxuan, who was happily playing with their sons.

She got up and walked towards the secret chamber.

Mu Yunxuan frowned as he watched her figure, wondering why she was heading to the secret chamber. Wasn't that the wrong direction? What was Mo'er doing?

As soon as Su Zimo entered the secret chamber, she didn't have much time to think. She immediately sat down and crossed her legs, preparing for the breakthrough.

However, the chaotic energy in her body made it impossible for her to stabilize herself.

"What the hell?!" Su Zimo couldn't help but curse as her body was slightly tingling with pain.

After enduring the pain, she dared not be distracted and focused her thoughts again, suspecting the elixir given to her by Yizi Su.

No, her master treated her like a daughter and wouldn't harm her. It must be something she hadn't understood correctly.

As for the original owner, she was originally considered a useless person! If it weren't for her master's efforts, she would never have become a high-level practitioner at the Golden Profound stage.

Su Zimo entering the secret chamber made Mu Yunxuan worry. After instructing their two sons to go back and rest, Mu Yunxuan got up and quickly walked towards the secret chamber. Although Su Zimo changed the mechanism, Mu Yunxuan quickly found the flaw.

As the door to the secret chamber opened, Mu Yunxuan caught a glimpse of a frail figure trembling slightly.

Mu Yunxuan's eyes narrowed, and he hurriedly walked over.

"Mo'er." He glanced down and saw Su Zimo's pale and beautiful face covered in sweat.

Without thinking much, Mu Yunxuan quickly sat behind Su Zimo and helped her suppress the turbulent energy in her body.

With Mu Yunxuan's help, Su Zimo felt the pain in her body gradually decreasing, allowing her to proceed with her breakthrough more peacefully.

Half an hour passed, and the beads of sweat on Su Zimo's face gradually reduced. A faint halo grew stronger and stronger.

Mu Yunxuan, looking at the handsome face, had a mix of surprise and joy in his eyes. He pursed his lips and quickly infused his own energy into Su Zimo's body.

After another quarter of an hour, Su Zimo was completely enveloped in golden light. Mu Yunxuan became more astonished as he watched. Was Mo'er ascending or...?

Before he could finish his thoughts, Su Zimo suddenly spat out blood and fell to one side. A strong golden light wrapped her from head to toe, accompanied by an unbearable heat that surpassed that of flames, as if it was going to engulf Su Zimo entirely.

"Mo'er!" Mu Yunxuan hastily reached out to support Su Zimo.

However, he was pushed back by the scorching golden light. Mu Yunxuan quickly glanced at his own hands, feeling the intense burning sensation from the heat of the golden light.

"Mo'er...?" Mu Yunxuan looked at the motionless Su Zimo helplessly.

Why did it turn out like this just from a breakthrough? Moreover, this golden light seemed to have no effect on Mo'er.

Upon careful consideration, Mu Yunxuan became more astonished. Could it be that Mo'er possessed the legendary tempered spirit body? His master had once told him that people with tempered spirit bodies were extremely rare.

With each breakthrough, their bodies would undergo a complete tempering, as if being reborn and purified.

Mu Yunxuan silently watched Su Zimo, who was currently undergoing a rebirth-like transformation, his handsome face filled with astonishment.

The popularity did not waver, and everything depended on the cultivation of Xuan Qi. Su Zimo had already gathered the Xuan Qi in one place or guided it in a specific direction. She could rely on this energy to survive during the tempering of her spirit body. Although this constitution allowed for rapid advancement in cultivation by several stages, every tempering of the spirit body was fraught with danger, which made Mu Yunxuan very worried.

While Mu Yunxuan was meditating, he saw the golden light slowly dissipating from Su Zimo's body, and Su Zimo regained consciousness.

"Mo'er." Mu Yunxuan felt relieved when he saw her wake up.

Su Zimo sat up, looking around in confusion.

Uh... What happened to her? She was clearly in the midst of advancing, so why did she suddenly faint?

"Mo'er, quickly check how many stages you've advanced."

"Okay!" Su Zimo obediently nodded and circulated her Qi. Suddenly, a hint of surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes.

"Yunxuan, I've advanced to the first stage of the Divine Profound realm, directly surpassing the seventh stage."

As she looked at the faint golden light still emanating from her body, Su Zimo couldn't help but feel amazed.

"What kind of pill did my master give me? It has such incredible power, allowing me to directly advance seven stages. Ordinary people would take at least one to five years to reach such a realm, but I crossed it in an instant."

Su Zimo smiled, feeling happier than ever before.

"You're so happy. Your master must have already realized that you have a tempered spirit body and formulated the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill to remove the obstacles in your body. Mo'er, you've just tempered your spirit body once, and from now on, every month on this day will be the day you temper your spirit body. Remember not to take it lightly and try to avoid going out. Today is the fifth of the third month, and on the fifth of the fourth month, you will temper your spirit body again, and you might advance even further then."

"Tempering the spirit body... I've also read about it in the Ancient Marrow Scripture, but I never thought there would be people in the world who have tempered spirit bodies."

"The one in a million person turned out to be you. Look how pleased you are."

Mu Yunxuan pinched her cheek affectionately, enjoying the joy on her face.

Su Zimo felt his deep indulgence and realized that she had become accustomed to his presence by her side.

She reached out to hold his large hand but noticed a slight frown on his handsome face.

Did she think of something? She quickly pulled down Mu Yunxuan's hand and looked at it. It was already swollen and red.

Recalling the temperature on her body just now, Su Zimo looked at Mu Yunxuan in shock.

"You were worried, right? Why are you so silly, knowing that it's scalding hot?"

Su Zimo looked at his hands, which were burned, with a pained expression.

"A minor injury like this means nothing to me."

Seeing her worried eyes, Mu Yunxuan even felt that this burn was good. He had gradually entered her heart.

"Let's go out. I'll apply medicine for you."

As for the matter of tempering the spirit body, she would slowly ask her master about it in the future.

"Okay!" Mu Yunxuan softly responded, helping her up, and the two of them walked out together.

In Su Zimo's room, the most abundant items were pills and books.

Su Zimo quickly took out a box of ointment and applied it to Mu Yunxuan's hands.

A cool sensation spread through her palms, and Mu Yunxuan kept gazing affectionately at the person who earnestly applied medicine to him.

He loved her so much. Her gentleness and care for him made him feel happy, filling every inch of his skin with delight.

"Mo'er."

"Yes!" Su Zimo lowered her head, focusing on applying the medicine, not noticing the expression on his face.

"Mo'er."

Mu Yunxuan softly called out again.

Su Zimo raised her head, puzzled.

"What's wrong? You called me twice without saying anything else?"

Mu Yunxuan smiled, looking stunningly handsome. "Mo'er, with you by my side, I feel really good and happy."

Su Zimo's eyes trembled. Could she really give him such feelings? In her understanding, she couldn't be considered gentle, let alone someone who would selflessly think of others. She even believed that the person who fell in love with her should be the most tolerant person in the world. She also knew that sometimes emotions required a catalyst, but sometimes she couldn't force herself to act in a particular way.

Seeing her shocked expression, Mu Yunxuan laughed softly.

"Mo'er, don't you feel the same?"

If she said she didn't, he would be heartbroken.

To his surprise, Su Zimo nodded, her beautiful face filled with tenderness. In her clear, watery eyes, there was sincerity and deep affection. With her soft fingertips, she lightly stroked his palm. Her unintentional gesture caused his heartbeat to race and a certain desire within his body to burst forth.
