Chapter 135 – Soft And White Meat Ball
According to her thoughts, she was unexpectedly able to change the ball of spiritual power into five different colours, as well as combine them! However, don’t common martial artists only have a single white colour to represent their spiritual power? Even double attribute spiritual roots display a milky white colour. Furthermore, the more spiritual roots a person has, and the more spiritual power they use, the white ball of light would appear dusky, like a muddy moon.
Suddenly, a young and tender child's voice sounded in Hexi's mind, "Silly Mother, this is because Mother's cultivation is the five elements of spiritual power, so of course there are five different colours."
Hexi was surprised at first, then she realised that this familiar child's voice belonged to Dandan.
But, didn’t Dandan say that when she was outside her space, they would be unable to communicate? Yet now she could clearly hear Dandan's voice from inside her space, so didn’t that mean that Dandan had also risen in rank?
Hexi's heart pounded, and in a flash her consciousness entered her space.
Once she entered her space, Hexi felt that the spiritual energy was now more than ten times richer than it previously was as it assaulted her senses. Before she had a chance to look around at the changes in her space though, she suddenly felt something round run into her arms with a 'thump'.
Hexi staggered back several steps, before she then steadied herself with difficulty, raising the small thing in her arms in front of her eyes.
This is a smooth, soft and white meat ball, ehh…or jelly to be more precise? Touching it feels really good; it was cool, soft, and it’s colour resembled silky milk. Anyone who looked at it will crave to swallow it.
On top of the meatball is a small round head, and on it’s small head it didn’t have hair, but two slender antennae. At this moment that small head was slightly tilted, it’s antennae gently swaying, while a pair of big, watery, jet black eyes occupied half of it’s face, staring with a fixed gaze at Hexi.
Four short, small, and fat lotus root-like limbs incessantly moved, and a pitiful protest came out from it’s mouth, "Mother, Mother! Dandan feels uncomfortable when you carry me like this! Mother, Dandan wants to be hugged!"
Those big black eyes blinked, brimming with childlike admiration and longing as they looked at Hexi, so although Hexi has a cold and emotionless heart, when being looked at by these adorable eyes, of course her heart would be moved.
She blinked and asked, "You’re Dandan?"
"Mhm!" Dandan nodded. Suddenly it struggled to free itself from Hexi's raised hands, and with one jump, it hung itself around Hexi's neck, "Mother, I'm Dandan! Dandan missed you so much!"
Feeling it’s soft and jelly-like texture touch her face and rub lightly, acting like a spoiled child who would throw a tantrum, Hexi simply didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
She grabbed it from her neck, but this time adjusted the way she held it so it could be comfortable. Looking at it’s plump body, she frowned, "How come you're so fat?"
Letting you eat, eat, and eat every day, now look! Now you've turned into a rolling ball!
Dandan heard this and immediately started crying, "Dandan not fat! Dandan's originally like this…Mother dislikes me, wahh…"
"Alright alright! Dandan's the cutest, Dandan's the slimmest! Mother doesn’t dislike you, will this do?"
Hexi appeased it for half a day, and only then did the overly sensitive, spoilt, spiritual pet feel good. She recalled it’s words from just a moment ago, and asked, "What did you mean when you said the five elements of spiritual power?"
Five elements of spiritual power, wasn’t it five spiritual roots? The five spiritual roots in a cultivation world were known as useless spiritual roots, and that was practically what her previously crippled dantian was. But it seemed that when referring to her spiritual power, it wasn’t the same.
Chapter 136 – Promoted Space
Dandan bit a finger, blinking it’s big eyes as it looked at Hexi, "The five elements of spiritual power are metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, five types of spiritual power! Mother, you don't even know about this?"
Hexi held her forehead, she shouldn't have had hope for Dandan's IQ. Moreover, this guy obviously didn’t know anything, yet it had an expression on it’s face that showed it thought she was stupid…fine! I’ll just ignore you, we'll see whether you’ll be able to be good or not!
Hexi no longer paid any attention to this little imp, and turning her head, she began to examine the changes in her space.
That's right, after only one night, Hexi had not only lifted the seal on her dantian, promoting to Foundation Establishment stage, but Dandan had hatched from it’s egg, while her space had also experienced a big change.
Originally vast, the Ancient Rhyme Spiritual Field now expanded further away than the naked eye could see, and the spiritual herbs that grew in her space, had all matured in one night.
One must know, that in Mi Luo continent, spiritual herbs are graded by years. For example, the growth period for a first grade spiritual herb is 10 years, for a second grade spiritual herb it’s 100 years, for a third grade spiritual herb it’s 1000 years, for a fourth grade spiritual herb it’s 5000 years, and for a fifth grade spiritual herb it’s 10 000 years. It’s very difficult to find spiritual herbs that are fifth grade and higher, and it’s not so easy to distinguish how old they are.
Originally the Ancient Rhyme Spiritual Field could accelerate a plants growth period a hundredfold, but for first or second grade spiritual herbs to grow into third grade spiritual herbs, it still requires a long process. Yet now, in only one night, several stalks of third grade spiritual herbs had matured.
What made Hexi even more amazed, is that a portion of first grade spiritual plants in her space had unexpectedly advanced to second grade spiritual plants! In Mi Luo continent this kind of situation was unheard of!
Hexi quickly walked to the Ninth Secluded Spirit Spring, noticing that from its outward appearance, nothing had changed in the spirit spring.
But, when she cupped her hands to try and drink a mouthful, she felt that compared to it’s previous rich spiritual energy, it had now increased several times in such a short while, nourishing the five viscera and six bowels in her body. With such potent spiritual power infusing her meridians, not only did she not feel pain, instead, she was so comfortable she released a sigh.
It seems that even the Ninth Secluded Spirit Spring has promoted!
Hexi was pleased and noticed Dandan imitating her by leaning on the side of spirit spring, it’s small head stretching over to drink a mouthful of spring water.
Yet after drinking just two mouthfuls it suddenly raised it’s body, flinging the water off it’s head, and said with a deflated expression, "No taste, it’s not tasty at all!"
Hexi was amused by Dandan's small appearance despising the water. She then discovered, that since the spiritual plants in her space had matured, and that the spiritual energy is so rich, Dandan is no longer interested. Even the Ninth Secluded Spirit Spring is actually being despised by him.
"You’re a little guy that doesn’t know what's good! Before, as long as it contained spiritual energy, wouldn’t you happily eat it all? Now that you’ve grown up, you’ve actually learned to be picky about food."
Dandan hugged Hexi's arm, it’s body hanging off her as it acted like a spoiled child and said, "Mother makes the best foods to eat, Dandan could eat it for a lifetime and will never dislike it. Mother, Dandan hungry, so hungry! I want to eat Mother's tasty roast chicken, cake, and rabbit meat~~"
Black lines appeared on Hexi's forehead. She felt that this little guy did nothing but eat when it was in the egg, and now that it’s hatched it’s become a picky eater! In the future, will it keep eating till she becomes a pauper?
Hexi didn’t know, but ever since Dandan had been eating the spiritual foods that she made, it’s appetite had begun to be wicked, as previously Dandan had no way to refuse it if it wanted to break out of it’s shell. But after hatching, it has a human sense of taste and aesthetics, leading it to begin avoiding things with spiritual energy but no taste. Of course, if the spiritual energy is rich to a certain extent, Dandan will still ignore the taste and drool.
