Chapter 23: Chaotic Yuan Spiritual Root

  Luo Yu and her brother arrived at the west side of Qingzhou, in Xiyuan Alley. They saw a peach blossom branch stretching out from behind the wall, which was their own courtyard. Luo Yu's heart was slightly excited, she ran to the gate and knocked: "Mother, my brother and I are back."

  A hurried footsteps sounded, and then the courtyard door was suddenly pulled open. Lin Mo rushed to hug Luo Yu: "Yu'er is back, how are you doing in the sect?" As he said, he pulled the two into the house together.

  The decorations in the house were still the same as four years ago. Luoyu found the rattle drum on the windowsill, and suddenly she picked it up and started swinging it back and forth, only to hear the tinkling sound, making people feel that time was flowing, but the years were quiet and good.

  Just like when they were young, the two of them sat on either side of their mother, telling her about their lives in the sect. The warm sunlight shone down on them, filling Luo Yu's heart with an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

  At this moment, she found the goal of her cultivation, that is to protect, to protect her family. To achieve this goal, she must make herself stronger. Luo Yu's Dao heart began to sprout.

  Half a stick of incense time, Huang Daishou returned home with a smile on his face: "Just received the news that you followed San Lao to stroll around the city, how did you come back so quickly? But not enough spirit stones on your body? Dad has some here——"

  Luo Yu hastily waved her hand and told them one by one about the two girls competing for favor.

  "Huang Daishou thought for a moment and said: 'Wu Niang has secrets on her body, and she's not easy to get along with. In the future, you two should keep your distance from her. As for Jiu Niang, she's just a bit cold in nature, but she's good at distinguishing between gratitude and resentment. As long as you don't provoke her, it shouldn't be a problem.'"

  Lin Mo also nodded at her siblings, thinking that she too understood.

  Luo Yu and the other two hastily agreed. She thought to herself, she only understood the nature of the two women because she had the upper hand, but her father had grasped their characters almost perfectly from such a small event, it was really unmatched. Luo Yu sighed, why didn't she inherit her father's ability to analyze people?

  Goodness gracious, girl! You've forgotten that your careless personality was formed in your past life and can't be changed in a short time. It's easy to change the world, but hard to change one's nature!

  At this time, Huang Daishou stood up and opened a fourth-level protective array method, then took out a white disc from his storage bag and handed it to Luo Yu.

  Luo Yu was stunned: "Is this a Spirit Testing Disc?" Where did his parents get the spirit stones to buy such an expensive Spirit Testing Disc? This would cost at least 10 high-quality spirit stones! Moreover, it's not easy to buy one of these things, who knows how much effort it would take.

  Indeed, Huang Daishou had gone through great lengths to purchase this item from a declining family's descendant.

  Lin Mo explained: "Since receiving Zi Ye's letter, your father and I have been thinking of buying one. Coincidentally, in recent years, your father's Xian Yin Ge has made a lot of progress, and the clan rewarded us with a batch of spiritual stones. We then borrowed 10 years' worth of our share from the clan and bought the Spirit Measuring Plate. We just told others that we gave these spiritual stones to you for cultivation, so no one would suspect anything since your cultivation has been progressing so quickly."

  She really thought of everything for her, Lu Yu's eyes were filled with tears, and she got up and kowtowed to the two in front of her: "Thank you, Father and Mother!"

  Huang Daishou hastily used his authority to stop her, not allowing her to knock her head on the ground. Lin Mo quickly got up and supported her: "Silly child, get up quickly. If you're truly grateful, don't disappoint our intentions. Put your hands up and let us see how much your skills have improved."

  Luo Yu stood up and nodded, placing the spiritual energy detector on the table surface, then putting his right hand on it. At this moment, the four members of the family surrounded the table, staring intently at the changes in the spiritual energy detector.

  In an instant, five-colored lights burst forth simultaneously, dazzling and eye-seizing, even brighter than the setting sun that had shone in.

  "Gold, wood, water, fire and earth, all with a purity of 85%!" Zi Xi's voice was trembling slightly.

  "Great, my Jade will be able to lay foundations in the future, and even form elixirs, and may even have a chance at forming an Embryonic Breath!"

  Huang Daishou was emotionally agitated, and Lin Mo was overjoyed to tears.

  Although Luo Yu had expected it earlier, she was still very excited at this moment. In her heart, she thought that building the foundation would be absolutely no problem, but forming the elixir was a bit uncertain. She couldn't bear to disappoint her parents: "The mixed yuan spiritual root is good, but without the corresponding technique, I'm afraid it won't form into an elixir."

  At the current density of spiritual energy in the Xiuzhen realm, cultivating ordinary five-spirit-root methods is indeed too slow.

  Lin Mo wiped her eyes and beckoned Luo Yu: "This time I called you back, it was to talk about the matter of Gong Fa. You come with me to the inner room."

  "Why don't you say it here?" Luo Yu was puzzled.

  "Luoyu, remember what I'm saying today, including Zixi! Lin Mo suddenly became serious. "In the cultivation world, there are over a hundred ways to obtain someone's memories without interrogation. Before having absolute power, the fewer people who know something, the safer it is. I didn't say this in front of your father and brother, not only to protect you but also to protect them. Do you understand?"

  Lin Mo's severe words finally woke Luo Yu up. She had always been a bit muddled, but since she had embarked on the path of cultivating immortality, she should be prepared to face danger at any time and place. A moment of carelessness would ultimately harm both herself and others.

  "I understand, Mother. From now on, I, Huang Luoyu, will be cautious and prudent in my words and actions, and must not be careless!" Then Luoyu turned around, faced Lin Mo and made a solemn bow to her.

  "Remember what you said today." Lin Mo nodded and sat up straight, allowing Luo Yu to make a full bow.

  If Yu'er continued to be so confused, how could Lin Mo feel at ease handing things over to her, and even not feel at ease letting her walk the path of cultivation? Now that he saw her come to a realization, Lin Mo felt very relieved, and didn't stop her from kneeling and bowing precisely so that she would remember this day well.

  The mother and daughter entered the inner room, Lin Mo casually set up a three-level soundproofing array again, before sitting cross-legged on the tatami mat.
