====================正文开始========================

Zhu Lingwu understood his problem and was indeed secretly alarmed. How could he solve this issue in the future?

Zhu Lingwu also knew that his excitement had led him to start cultivating without asking anyone. However, he originally didn't dare to ask, and now it had left him with this lingering problem, which was indeed troublesome.

But after some thought, Zhu Lingwu calmed down, "Well, at least the Yin essence force I've cultivated won't harm my body! As for the future, we'll deal with it when it comes. After all, this is the only method to improve my innate talent. If I don't use this method, I won't be able to cultivate at all. Fortunately, the Mystic Ghost Heads can still be enhanced. I can just refine more of them. Once I know the reason, there will always be a way to solve it!"

Zhu Lingwu consoled himself, and his expression eased. He looked up at the three Elders and asked, "So that's how it is. Thank you, Grandfathers, for your guidance. With my talent, if I don't cultivate this way, I might really have no chance of winning against those three cousins!"

The three Elders looked at Zhu Lingwu again and exchanged glances. The little boy was right. With his talent, he wouldn't be able to cultivate without finding a way. But now that things were like this, what could they say?

"This, little grandson, are you going to continue cultivating this way? Actually, there's still a chance to change. After all, the spiritual energy in your body is still very thin!"

Hearing Zhu Lingwu's words, the Elder from the main branch, Yuan Fang, was really worried. If Zhu Lingwu continued this method, his nephew wouldn't stand a chance.

He originally thought Zhu Lingwu was a foolish boy who couldn't win the bet, so he had encouraged the bet. But now, this little boy was pretending to be foolish to trick his nephew into giving up the Condensing Qi Pill, which was very important for his nephew.

So he hoped Zhu Lingwu would change his mind and cultivate normally. But with this method, given Zhu Lingwu's talent, even after such a setback, it might take not just a year but three to five years to make any progress.

At least, with this bet, Zhu Lingwu definitely had no hope of winning!

However, this suggestion was a way to solve the problem. Since the spiritual energy Zhu Lingwu had cultivated was still very thin, if he stopped using the five Mystic Ghost Heads to assist his cultivation, he might be able to restore his innate spiritual energy through normal cultivation methods.

If he continued cultivating for a long time, there might be no turning back.

Zhu Lingwu glanced at him. Although he hadn't heard what he had whispered to others, he had noticed his behavior. So he pretended to be aggrieved and said, "Grandfather, what can I do? I can only continue this way. At least this way, I can cultivate some spiritual energy and become a Qi Cultivator. Otherwise, I won't be able to do it my whole life!"

"But you just made a bet! Little grandson, that's not good. We're all family. How can you trick your cousins? Come, little grandson, give the bet agreement to your grandfather, and let's call it off! If there are any problems in the future, come to me, and I'll guide you properly!"

Seeing that Zhu Lingwu didn't agree, Elder Yuan Fang wanted to help Zhu Junyu and cancel the bet to avoid losing the Condensing Qi Pill.

"That's not possible! Grandfather, you can't say that. I didn't trick those three cousins. They intercepted me on the way and insisted on making a bet. I didn't agree at first, but they insisted, so I had to agree. Now, Grandfather, are you being partial? If I don't have this method to cultivate, can you get the bet agreement from the main branch cousin and call it off? Humph, you're all ganging up on a child!"

Zhu Lingwu wasn't easy to talk to. After all, he was just a nine-year-old child. What did he have to fear? If others did anything to him, it would be bullying a child. Now he had the upper hand.

Sure enough, Elder Yuan Fang's face turned red at his words. He thought about what he had planned, which was indeed to take advantage of the child's poor innate talent.

The other two Elders were also speechless. They thought, "This little boy is quite sharp. We heard he was a bit slow, but that doesn't seem to be the case. We don't know how far he can go, but no matter how sharp his mouth is, it won't help his cultivation."

The leading Elder glared at Elder Yuan Fang, then patted the medicine bottles in his pocket. He thought, "This matter can't be left to these children. I'll have to consult the ancestors, but I'm afraid this little boy won't let it go."

So he cleared his throat and said to Zhu Lingwu, "Don't worry. Since you all made a bet and had us as witnesses, you can rest assured. Do you have any other questions?"

"No, no questions! Grandfathers, as long as the innate spiritual energy I cultivate in my body is fine, I'm fine! I'll go back now. Oh, Grandfather, please take good care of the things we gave you!"

Zhu Lingwu felt he had revealed too much, so he deliberately acted like a child.

Zhu Lingwu then bid farewell and returned. As long as the spiritual energy in his body was fine, he had the memories of Meng Yishi in his mind and didn't need these Qi Cultivator Elders to help him.

On his way down the mountain, he was quite happy. He had resolved his internal confusion and even obtained a bottle of Condensing Qi Pills, though it would take some time to get them.

However, Zhu Lingwu was still uneasy about this matter, so he decided to go back and talk to his ancestor, who was known as White Water.

If this ancestor knew he had a chance to reach the third level of Qi Cultivation within five years, he would definitely help him secure the bet and get the Condensing Qi Pills.

"The only thing I'm worried about is the long-term cultivation problem. But I only have the Qi Cultivation section of the Five Qi Returning to the Origin Heart Sutra, which can take me to the Foundation Establishment stage at most. I don't know where to find the cultivation methods for the later stages. Maybe I'll have to seek help from the Pure Yang Sect in the Great Jin Dynasty. As for the spiritual energy problem, well, maybe by then, the five Mystic Ghost Heads in my hand will have become magical treasures! Forget it, forget it, one step at a time!"

Thinking about the future, Zhu Lingwu was a bit uncertain. At least he could now start on the path of Qi Cultivation, but he didn't know how far he could go.

After some consideration, he decided to focus on the present. He returned to his family's courtyard and then rushed to the ancestral hall of the seventh branch.

After being announced by the steward in charge of the ancestral hall, he met his ancestor, known as White Water. After hearing about Zhu Lingwu's bet and learning that he had found a way to help his cultivation, the old man was quite surprised.

After examining the spiritual energy in Zhu Lingwu's body, his conclusion was similar to that of the Elders, but he was very satisfied with Zhu Lingwu's approach. He then told Zhu Lingwu that he would take care of the bet and ensure he got the Condensing Qi Pills.

He then told Zhu Lingwu to return and cultivate with peace of mind. His thoughts were similar to Zhu Lingwu's. Who knew what the future held? Maybe Zhu Lingwu would have some good fortune and find a cultivation method to produce the so-called Yin essence force.

However, according to the Foundation Establishment stage ancestor, the spiritual energy Zhu Lingwu had cultivated was not simple. This spiritual energy was Yang with Yin and Yin with Yang, a complementary force of Yin and Yang.

Most importantly, this spiritual energy was neither Yin nor Yang but could harness the power of both Yin and Yang. This meant that if Zhu Lingwu used the Mystic Ghost Sect's techniques, he could still exert some power without the spiritual energy conflicting.

Of course, Daoist White Water wouldn't tell Zhu Lingwu this, but he hinted at it. Zhu Lingwu understood and was very satisfied.

Thus, Zhu Lingwu finally settled down and began his Qi Cultivation journey steadily.
