Chapter 793: Chapter 395: An Unexpected Harvest from Little Sister

Responding to her older brother, the little girl’s face took on a stubborn look. She lifted her chin and said,

"It’s not hard at all, Big Brother. Don’t look down on me. I’ve been working really hard. I take the Foundation Establishment Medicine Bath every day, so my foundation is very stable. My Cultivation is completely different now."

As she spoke, she threw a small fist in the air as if to show off her Power, her eyes twinkling with pride. Her clothes swayed slightly with her movement, and the small flowers embroidered on the hem seemed especially vibrant in the sunlight.

"Oh? How is it different? Show me." Cheng Zongyang’s eyes were filled with amusement; he was eager to see the results of his sister’s years of Cultivation.

She had started the Foundation Establishment Medicine Baths when she was three or four and was still taking them. It went without saying that her Physique and aptitude would be quite high.

"Okay."

Just as she had loved to show off for her big brother when she was little, Cheng Zongyun excitedly handed Xingzu to Cheng Zongyang and walked to the center of the courtyard.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, her little face growing serious.

However, what happened next left Cheng Zongyang stunned.

A soft glow gradually appeared around her, growing brighter and brighter until it enveloped her small figure.

As the light circulated, the leaves on the ground began to slowly swirl around her, forming a small vortex.

Her hair flew up, stirred by Spiritual Power, and her entire being seemed filled with Spiritual Qi.

After a moment, Cheng Zongyun slowly opened her eyes, and the light gradually faded. She looked at Cheng Zongyang with anticipation and asked happily, "Big Brother, aren’t I amazing? This is something new I discovered in my Cultivation. Dad and Mom don’t even know about it."

Cheng Zongyang suppressed his shock and confusion. He smiled, nodded, and praised her, saying,

"Not bad, little sister, you’ve really improved. But don’t get arrogant. The path of cultivation is long. But what Cultivation Technique are you practicing?"

Watching his sister, he felt a deep sense of relief. She had always been a sensible child, and seeing her work so hard at her cultivation now, he, as her older brother, felt very reassured.

But now a question arose.

’This little girl has Five Spirit Bones, and her Cultivation is only at the Martial Arts Seventh Grade. Why can she stir the surrounding Spiritual Qi?’

"I’m practicing the Martial Essence Body Tempering Technique that Dad gave me. But later..."

At this point, she glanced around, then quietly walked to her brother’s side and whispered in his ear:

"My cousin taught me a Cultivation Technique for channeling Spiritual Qi, and I learned it. She told me not to tell anyone else. But I’m only telling you, Big Brother. I like you the most." With that, she gave him a peck on the cheek and then grinned.

"You silly girl." Cheng Zongyang beamed like a proud father, overjoyed. ’All that doting on my little sister when she was young wasn’t for nothing.’ But then his heart skipped a beat.

He felt as if he had discovered something. He then took out a Spirit Testing Stone and Spirit Testing Paper, saying with a smile, "Come on, let’s test you."

"Oh." The little girl didn’t resist.

Soon, when Cheng Zongyang saw the Spirit Bone aptitude revealed by his sister’s blood, he was pleased, even though it was what he had expected.

’Five Spirit Bones with maximum aptitude! This proves the years of Foundation Establishment Medicine Baths were truly effective.’

Next was the Spirit Testing Stone.

When he saw the Spirit Testing Stone in the little girl’s palm flash with five different colored lights, one after another, his brow twitched.

"Very good." Not wanting his reaction to frighten the girl, Cheng Zongyang smiled. "You have to continue with the Foundation Establishment Medicine Baths. And while you can’t stop your Cultivation, you must also remember to balance work and rest, understand?"

"I know, Big Brother. I’ll keep working hard. In the future, I want to be as amazing as you."

Cheng Zongyun said with a determined expression, her eyes filled with longing and hope for the future.

She knew her big brother was her role model. She had to work hard to follow in his footsteps and become a powerful figure who could protect her family and home.

"Good, I believe in you. When you’re a little older, you’ll be able to protect the village," Cheng Zongyang said with a smile.

"Here, take Xingzu for a walk. Take him back to your cousin’s wife later, okay?"

"Hehe, okay. Give him to me, give him to me." The little girl’s attention immediately fell on the swaddled baby in her brother’s arms, and she eagerly reached for him.

Just then, Xingzu let out another laugh from Cheng Zongyang’s arms, as if cheering for his aunt’s wonderful performance.

After the little girl left with Zhou Xingzu in her arms, Cheng Zongyang took out a set of fishing gear he had made the day before.

The fishing rod was made of tough, green bamboo, and the line was made from silk spun by the village’s Wilderness Silk Insects. The Wilderness Silk Insects would produce silk of varying strengths depending on what they ate.

The material he had used was the same as what the village used for making protective clothing, so it was naturally top-grade.

He dug up some earthworms from a mound of dirt near the village, placed them in a small bamboo canister he carried with him, and headed for the river west of the village.

The warm afternoon sun shone down, and Cheng Family Manor seemed peaceful and serene under its light.

As he walked, he pondered his little sister’s situation, his mind filled with questions.

He had nothing better to do, so he figured he’d fish for a bit and also try to communicate with the Ring Spirit about what was going on with his sister.

When Cheng Zongyun’s aptitude was first tested, the result was that she had no Spirit Root aptitude, only Five Spirit Bones.

In the Cultivation Immortality Realm, this almost always meant that one could only follow the path of the Martial Dao.

But now, she actually had Five Spirit Roots!

Although her Spirit Root aptitude was minimal—a negligible amount in the eyes of a Cultivator—for Cheng Zongyun, it had undoubtedly opened a door to a whole new world.
