The spiritual source trembled slightly and began to crazily absorb the pure energy in his dantian and meridians.
At the same time, all the pores in his body opened up as he frantically absorbed the spiritual energy in the air.
The spiritual energy in the air flowed through Liu Jiang's pores and into his body, his meridians, and the source of his dantian.
The spiritual energy outside the house surged into the room, forming an invisible spiritual vortex above Liu Jiang's head.
"Buzz…"
The spiritual source was trembling strangely, crazily absorbing energy and constantly growing.
Five minutes later, Liu Jiang recovered from his miraculous advancement.
Liu Jiang realized that the spiritual source had become much bigger.
In the beginning, it was just the size of a mung bean.
But now, it was at least the size of a fava bean. It had grown at least three times bigger.
Liu Jiang circulated his Dharma powers and felt the rich powers surging from his source. He had never felt this comfortable.
Opening his palm, a fist-sized fireball appeared in his palm. It contained a terrifying heat.
My spiritual power has increased by more than three times.
It took a total of 35 energy fruits, but it was close to what I expected.
Looking at the remaining 13 energy fruits on the Treasure Tree, Liu Jiang began to refine them.
With 10 energy fruits, Liu Jiang's cultivation level reached the peak of the one-star Bronze level.
Then Liu Jiang refined the remaining three energy fruits. His magic power became richer again.
He only needed about seven energy fruits to break through.
I'll continue working on the energy fruits tomorrow.
At the bronze level, one needed more energy fruits to advance a level. From the elementary bronze level to the peak bronze level, one would need 10 energy fruits.
In the future, the higher his cultivation level, the more energy fruits he would need.
However, compared to others who cultivated painstakingly and refined energy fruits, it was many times faster.
Liu Jiang's heart was filled with anticipation.
At this moment, the Treasure Tree absorbed another wave of emotion.
Gratitude from Wang Xiaoyu, +555.
Liu Jiang was delighted.
It was that young lady from today again.
Liu Jiang was in a good mood and looked at the Treasure Tree happily.
He realized that the Treasure Tree had grown taller.
It was more than half a meter tall.
It was almost two meters tall, and the leaves were even more lush.
There were many other fruits on the Treasure Tree.
From killing intent, 34 madness fruits.
From resentment, 20 epiphany fruits.
From jealousy, seven intelligence subduing fruits.
A dreamscape fruit from regret.
The soul-controlling fruit from fear still needed 8,468,530 points of fear to mature.
Without hesitation, Liu Jiang began to comprehend the Lightning Inducing Technique.
…
In another room.
Liu Qingzhong and Guo Cuicui tossed and turned. They were so excited that they could not fall asleep.
"Little Jiang's father. I didn't expect our Little Jiang to have become so powerful after not seeing him for three years." In the dark, Guo Cuicui said, "I'm so happy."
"I'm very happy too," Liu Qingzhong said. "This child has really won honor for us. When we go back this time, we can hold our heads high in front of my brother and sister-in-law."
Guo Cuicui said resentfully, "Since Liu He became the team leader of the Inspection Bureau, your brother and sister-in-law have become so arrogant that their words are always tinged with sarcasm. It's really infuriating to hear them talk about Little Jiang being chased out of the Ethereal Immortal Sect."
Liu Qingzhong was also depressed. He said, "Especially our sister-in-law. I hate the sight of her. She can brag if she likes, but she has to make comparisons. She's a little too annoying."
"Oh right, did I hear from Sister-in-law that Liu He is going to be promoted to Chief?" Guo Cuicui suddenly asked curiously.
"Most likely." Liu Qingzhong said, "Xiaohe is quite capable to begin with. He received the support of the main family in Qingzhou and cultivated diligently for three years. Now his cultivation level is already at five-star Bronze.
Moreover, he had been the team leader for three years and had captured many demons and ghosts.
Not long ago, he actually obtained a contractual spiritual beast, the Hissing Wind Beast. His overall combat strength had instantly increased greatly.
With credit, strength, and the support of the family, it won't be long before he becomes a Chief."
"He actually obtained a contractual spiritual beast, the Hissing Wind Beast. How amazing." Guo Cuicui was shocked.
In the remote mountains, there were many spiritual beasts, but spiritual beasts had their own pride and rarely signed soul contracts with others.
Sometimes, they would not sign a soul contract to their dying day.
However, as long as one successfully signed a soul contract with a spiritual beast, one would have a super powerful bodyguard that was also loyal to death.
Guo Cuicui sighed and said, "If only our Jiang'er has a contractual spiritual beast."
Cultivators were different from body cultivators. Without magic power, their bodies were not much stronger than ordinary people.
However, if they had a contractual spiritual beast with an explosive physique, their safety would be greatly guaranteed."
"A contractual spiritual beast is hard to come by. It depends on luck," Liu Qingzhong said.
"Liu He only became a team leader at 25 years old," Guo Cuicui said. "Jiang'er is only 17 years old, but he's already a team leader. He's much better than him. If he can get a contractual spiritual beast, our Little Jiang can definitely get one too."
Guo Cuicui paused for a moment before continuing, "However, as a Chief, you have to kill many demons and ghosts. You have to contribute enough.
Although I want Little Jiang to be a high-ranking official, I don't want him to take risks. It's good enough to be a captain and live a peaceful life."
"Yes, yes, you're right." Liu Qingzhong nodded in agreement.
Parents naturally yearned for their children to achieve success and glory.
But more than that, they hoped that their children would be healthy and safe.
"Oh right, the new year is in three months. We can let Jiang'er attend the big family meeting. If he can get the family's approval, he can get a lot of cultivation resources for free every month," Guo Cuicui suddenly said.
"That is indeed possible." Liu Qingzhong nodded.
Every year during the new year, the main Liu family in Qingzhou would organize a big family meeting to gather all the talented young disciples to attend.
With Liu Jiang's nine-star Black Iron cultivation, he was definitely one of the top few among the thousands of Liu family disciples. He would definitely obtain the support and recognition of the family.
Guo Cuicui said, "Hehe, with resources, it'll be easy to get promoted and become rich."
"Yes, yes." Liu Qingzhong nodded repeatedly.
Guo Cuicui reminded her, "Don't say things like getting promoted and becoming rich in front of Jiang'er. Do you understand?"
"I know." Liu Qingzhong said, "We have to remind him not to take risks. Safety is the priority."
"You're right." Guo Cuicui nodded in agreement and said, "Alright, it's late. Go to sleep."
"Yeah."
"Do you want…"
"What's there to want? Jiang'er is sleeping in the room beside ours."
"Hmph…"
"Hu…" Liu Qingzhong was already snoring.
He actually fell asleep immediately.
The quality of his sleep was amazing.
…
An hour later, Liu Jiang had used up 20 epiphany fruits, and his understanding of the Lightning Inducing Technique had increased again.
He still needed 49 enlightenment fruits to learn the Lightning Inducing Technique.
