Connate Realm

"Is this thing easy to cultivate?" Zhao Aiguo asked, sitting back in his chair and pointing at the spirit sunflower that covered the inside and outside of the walls.

Even though there seemed to be a lot of Spirit Sunflowers and it did not seem difficult to nurture them, his understanding of the spiritual plant field was too little, so he could not evaluate the value of the Spirit Sunflower.

Lin Yi smiled and replied, "It's very simple for me, but it's extremely difficult for others. Don't worry, Uncle Zhao. Eat as much as you want. I don't lack any spirit sunflower seeds."

"Good, good, good!" Zhao Aiguo cheered.

He could hear the confidence in Lin Yi's voice and was overjoyed.

"Then… I won't stand on the ceremony." Zhao Aiguo's voice was trembling as he spoke. That was the Connate Realm! In the entire Supernatural Supervision Bureau in Baishan City, only the director was at the Connate Realm.

If he could become a Connate Realm Expert, his future would really be limitless.

"Eat!"

Lin Yi took out another handful of Spirit Sunflower Seeds and placed them on the table.

Zhao Aiguo was completely relieved. He grabbed a handful of Spirit Sunflower and threw it into his mouth. Without even spitting out the skin, he chewed and swallowed.

The internal energy in his body surged. After a while, he grabbed another handful and swallowed it.

As Zhao Aiguo cultivated, he sighed at the strength of the Spirit Sunflower seeds. He had taken many pills, but none of them were as powerful as the Spirit Sunflower's medicinal properties.

The internal energy that pills could increase was very limited, but the spirit sunflower seeds seemed to be able to increase it indefinitely.

One by one, Zhao Aiguo ate quickly.

Lin Yi also took out a portion of the Spirit Sunflower Seeds that he had accumulated a few days ago. Even though it was a portion, there was actually an entire box of them. Zhao Aiguo was so shocked that he almost left his cultivation state.

However, with so much support, Zhao Aiguo also let go of his restraints. He used both his hands and quickly swallowed the Spirit Sunflower Seeds.

Under the accumulation of such precious resources, Zhao Aiguo quickly reached his limit.

Right now, he was at the truest peak of the Innate realm. Well… he could also be called a half-step to the Connate realm. He was only one layer away from the Connate realm. If he pierced through it, he would succeed.

There was only half of the box of Spirit Sunflower Seeds that Lin Yi had just taken out. Zhao Aiguo's movements were hesitant. He felt that even if he ate the rest, he would not be able to break through this layer of window paper.

"Bam!"

Two more boxes of spirit sunflower seeds were placed in front of him. They were using the same large boxes used to pick fruits.

Zhao Aiguo's eyes widened when he saw such treasures appear in front of him.

"Keep going. Don't stop until you've broken through," Lin Yi said casually.

The production of spirit sunflower seeds was very high, and he had been studying carnivorous flowers more recently. The spirit sunflower seeds that were unintentionally produced almost filled a room.

"Okay."

Zhao Aiguo no longer hesitated and continued cultivating.

Lin Yi carefully observed what would happen from Innate to Connate.

At a certain moment, Zhao Aiguo's face turned red. This state lasted for about a few seconds before Lin Yi sensed the spiritual energy in the air continuously surging towards Zhao Aiguo.

"Can it absorb spiritual energy on its own?" Lin Yi was a little curious.

However, in his perception, other than the huge increase in Zhao Aiguo's internal energy, the quality of his internal energy had not changed much. At most, it had increased by a small level, but it was still not at the level of spiritual power.

Zhao Aiguo opened his eyes and let out a breath. His heightened senses made him feel as if he was reacquainting himself with the world. A casual punch or stomp of his foot was filled with power.

He looked at the little Spirit Sunflower seeds that he had eaten and said to Lin Yi with a complicated expression, "Thank you, Xiaoyi."

This kindness was too much for him to bear.

"Uncle Zhao, we're family. Why are you so polite with me? Look, you think of me whenever something good happens. How can I not think of you when I have something good?"

"Alright, we're family!" Zhao Aiguo nodded vigorously. He suddenly remembered that his most precious daughter had already been kidnapped by Lin Yi and immediately felt better. "We're family. The two of you should register your marriage as soon as possible after Wanting graduates."

"Uh." It was Lin Yi's turn to be stunned.

When he said family, he meant that they were as close as family. He did not seem to have any intention of being a son-in-law.

"What? You don't want to bear the responsibility?" Zhao Aiguo's expression suddenly changed when he saw Lin Yi hesitate.

"No, no, no. I'm definitely willing," Lin Yi agreed immediately. He had long fancied this kind and lively girl throughout the period. "I'm just afraid that Wanting won't be willing to."

"You think too much." Zhao Aiguo smiled and patted Lin's shoulder. "My silly daughter can't wait to get married to you right now."

"Dad! Are you calling me silly?" Zhao Wanting had heard her father's voice from afar when she brought the food, but she didn't listen too carefully. She only heard the words "silly daughter."

How could she tolerate calling her silly in front of Elder Brother Xiaoyi?!

Zhao Wanting looked like she was interrogating him.

"Look, isn't she just silly?" Zhao Aiguo raised an eyebrow at Lin.

Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh.

"Ah! Dad, how dare you continue with it." Zhao Wanting rushed to Zhao Aiguo with hatred and patted him gently.

"Alright, let's not talk about it anymore. Mind your own business. I won't disturb your meal. I'll go down the mountain first." Zhao Aiguo waved his hand and prepared to leave.

"There's nothing to eat even if you stay, I only bought enough food for two." Zhao Wanting stuck her tongue out at her father.

"Wait, Uncle Zhao." Lin Yi was still worried. He took two leaves and two fruits the size of longans from a corner of the courtyard.

Lin Yi handed the leaf and fruit to Zhao Aiguo and whispered in his ear, "The leaves are for external injuries and the fruits are for internal injuries. Uncle Zhao, take them just in case."

Zhao Aiguo's eyes lit up as he nodded and put the fruit and leaves away. He looked gratefully at Lin Yi and said goodbye to Zhao Wanting before heading down the mountain.

"Elder Brother Xiaoyi, what did you give to my father?" Zhao Wanting looked curiously at the empty boxes on the ground and the spirit sunflower seeds left in one of them.

Lin Yi paused and said, "There are some things that we will tell you after your college entrance examination. If you tell us now, we are worried that it will affect your exam."

This was the result of Lin Yi and Zhao Aiguo's previous conversation. There was not much time left before the college entrance examination. If he told Zhao Wanting about cultivation now, it would definitely affect her exam greatly.

Even though the spiritual energy had recovered, the college entrance examination was still the only way to choose talents. Moreover, it could be foreseen that as the spiritual energy recovery continued, the country would pay more attention to the cultivation of scientific talents. Scientific cultivation would become the future national policy.

Therefore, the college entrance examination was still very important.

"What? All of you are hiding something from me." Zhao Wanting pouted.

"It's nothing serious. I didn't tell you because I didn't want to distract you. Here, have some melon seeds." Lin Yi held the Spirit Sunflower Seed to Zhao Wanting's mouth like he was coaxing a child.
