Chapter 29: "Discovery of the Innate Spirit Body"

---

Wang Teng, standing outside the formation, was momentarily unsure of what to do.

He hesitated to intervene, partly out of fear of Qing Xuan. He was undoubtedly a complete sycophant.

Qing Xuan glanced at Li Daoxuan and nodded. Li Daoxuan understood her silent approval. While he refrained from lethal force, he didn't hold back.

He effortlessly disarmed the two brothers and confiscated their storage bags. Then, with a casual kick, he sent them out of the formation.

This time, Wang Teng didn't dare to shout or argue with Li Daoxuan.

As Wang Teng turned to leave, he suddenly glanced back at Qing Xuan and said, "Qing Xuan Junior Sister, if Li Daoxuan doesn't want you in the future, I..."

"Get lost!"

Undeterred, Wang Teng persisted with a straight face, "Junior sister, remember to visit Heavenly Dao Sect often! I... I'm leaving!"

Once Wang Teng and his group had disappeared, Qing Xuan's frosty expression softened into a smile. She chuckled and said, "Senior brother, you're not angry, are you?"

"Angry? How could I not be angry!"

"I'm sorry! But it's really not my fault. I have nothing to do with that Wang Teng. I really dislike that guy."

Pouting, Qing Xuan added, "If only I could beat him up. Every time I see him!"

Li Daoxuan ruffled Qing Xuan's hair affectionately. "It's okay. Next time we meet, I'll take care of him!"

"Yeah, yeah!"

Hand in hand, Li Daoxuan and Qing Xuan returned to the backyard, where Zi Ling had already awakened.

"Husband, is everything settled?"

Qing Xuan smiled and reassured her, "Don't worry, Sister Zi Ling. Those annoying pests have been dealt with!"

Suddenly, Qing Xuan remembered something and excitedly suggested, "Sister Zi Ling, let's check the child's condition and see if she has any special traits."

Li Daoxuan, equally curious, retrieved a spirit-testing stone. Before assessing her aptitude, he carefully cradled the child in his arms.

Gently probing with his spiritual power, Li Daoxuan's expression shifted from curiosity to surprise and excitement. "This child is extraordinary. She has an Innate Spirit Body!"

The Innate Spirit Body, also known as the Pure Body, naturally attracts spiritual energy and accelerates cultivation.

"Really?" Zi Ling, knowledgeable about unique physiques among cultivators, understood the significance of an Innate Spirit Body.

Qing Xuan chimed in, covering her mouth in amazement. "Even in Heavenly Dao Sect, few possess such a physique."

Li Daoxuan confirmed, "Indeed, this child has an Innate Spirit Body."

"Senior brother, quickly check her spiritual root grade!"

Eager to know more, Li Daoxuan held his daughter's tiny hand and placed it on the spirit-testing stone. As her hand made contact, a dazzling display of white and green lights intertwined, captivating Li Daoxuan's gaze.

"It's a Peak Earth-grade spiritual root!"

"And it's dual-attributed: water and wood!"

Qing Xuan exclaimed with joy, "Although her spiritual root is Earth-grade, her special physique ensures she can rival Heavenly Rank spiritual roots!"

"Yes, yes!" Zi Ling was overwhelmed with excitement.

Li Daoxuan felt elated. His children were continuously exceeding expectations, giving him much to anticipate.

Yet, amidst his joy, Li Daoxuan suddenly felt something was amiss.

"Did I forget something?"

Realization dawned on him. "Oh! The system! Where's my reward?"

"I'm here!"

"I knew you wouldn't check the reward immediately, so I held off on distributing it!"

Li Daoxuan urged, "Hurry up and distribute it! I can't wait!"

*Ding~*

Congratulations to the master's family on the addition of a new member!

Rewards are as follows:

Reward 1: One Breakthrough Pill (Note: Suitable for Foundation Building stage breakthrough to Gold Core stage)

Reward 2: 300 years of spiritual infusion

Reward 3: One skill enhancement card

Reward 4: One cultivation proficiency enhancement card

Critical hit reward: Due to the appearance of the first member with a special physique in the master's family, the master is rewarded with one special physique transformation.

"Hahaha..."

Li Daoxuan couldn't contain his laughter; he was overjoyed.

Qing Xuan rolled her eyes teasingly. "Senior brother, why are you laughing so loudly? You might scare the child!"

"I couldn't help it. I'm just so happy. And, I think I'm about to break through again."

"Another breakthrough so soon?"

Recently, Zi Ling had been advancing rapidly, and Li Daoxuan's progress had been swift. Only Qing Xuan had been stuck at the Gold Core stage for some time.

Assertively, Qing Xuan declared, "Senior brother, I want to break through too. I'm going into seclusion!"

"Hahaha... Don't worry, you don't enjoy cultivating, do you?"

Li Daoxuan intended to seclude himself temporarily once more.

Returning to his secret room, Li Daoxuan began evaluating his rewards.

The skill enhancement card could upgrade skills such as alchemy, refining, formations, and talismans. Not being a talisman master yet, Li Daoxuan decided to focus on refining, confident he could enhance his alchemy skills independently.

"Use!"

"Enhance refining skills!"

Immediately, a vast inheritance on refining flooded Li Daoxuan's mind. Absorbing it instinctively, he seamlessly integrated the knowledge.

Li Daoxuan had become a second-grade refiner!

"Cultivation proficiency enhancement card, enhance 'Qing Yuan Sword Art.'"

Entering a state of profound enlightenment, Li Daoxuan's 'Qing Yuan Sword Art' evolved, reaching a near-perfect state and significantly boosting his attack power.

"Hahaha..."

Li Daoxuan awakened from his trance, contemplating his next move. "Body transformation!"

"Ah!"

"Ouch~ It hurts so much!"

Undergoing the agonizing process of body transformation felt like enduring thousands of cuts and ants gnawing at his flesh. Every cell reorganized as his body underwent a profound metamorphosis.

Ordinary individuals would find it unbearable, but Li Daoxuan persevered with ironclad determination.

Cloaked in sweat and blood, Li Daoxuan remained steadfast.

After an indeterminate duration, Li Daoxuan sensed the transformation nearing completion.

Swish!

His eyes opened, and two vibrant lights shimmered.

"So, this is the Five Elements Spirit Body?"

"It's immensely powerful!"

"My spiritual root grade has also risen to high-grade Profound level!"

"Hahaha... I'm finally not a waste anymore."

"Let's take the Breakthrough Pill and infuse spiritual power together."

Without hesitation, Li Daoxuan ingested the Breakthrough Pill, a formidable pressure engulfing the secret room.
