Zhang Yu felt a chill in his lower back, and something burrowed into his Dantian Qi Sea, then began to “take root and sprout.”

Zhang Yu wasn’t a stranger to rented spiritual roots; almost the instant he felt the change within his Dantian, he thought of a spiritual root.

“How did a spiritual root suddenly appear in my Dantian?”

Immediately afterward, he felt the spiritual root rapidly “take root and sprout,” then spread throughout his entire body, like nerves covering every inch of his flesh, as if it had always been a part of him.

Even with the passive breathing of his Ten Cycles Qi Gathering Method, these “spiritual roots” spreading throughout his body also inhaled and exhaled, quickly attracting the spiritual energy in the air, which surged toward him.

“Hiss!”

Like a long-awaited rain after a drought, as streams of spiritual energy poured into his body, Zhang Yu felt every cell in his body crazily crave the incoming energy.

After all, for Zhang Yu, who cultivated immortality without a spiritual root, his body was in a state of spiritual energy deficiency most of the time.

Now, with spiritual energy suddenly flooding in, Zhang Yu immediately felt a sense of comfort throughout his body, and the circulation of his Level 10 Ten Cycles Qi Gathering Method became even more turbulent, stirring up the surrounding spiritual energy to rush in.

Zhang Yu’s state immediately caught Bai Zhenzhen’s attention, especially since she could faintly sense that her own spiritual root was currently inside Zhang Yu’s body.

“My spiritual root ran into Yu-zi’s belly?”

Bai Zhenzhen was surprised: “What’s going on? I wanted to lend it to Yu-zi to play with, but only after he kneeled down and called me ‘Mom’ and begged me! How did this spiritual root run over on its own?”

Thinking this, Bai Zhenzhen felt a burst of annoyance and reached out to touch Zhang Yu’s belly, trying to retrieve her spiritual root.

Feeling Bai Zhenzhen’s hand wandering around his lower abdomen, bringing a tickling sensation, Zhang Yu quickly said, “What are you doing, A-Zhen! Stop messing around! We’ll cause an accident! We can’t afford to pay for a death!”

Zhang Yu slowed down the sports car and finally stopped by the roadside, letting Bai Zhenzhen out.

Bai Zhenzhen didn’t retrieve her spiritual root and reluctantly said, “Did my spiritual root run into your belly?”

Zhang Yu subconsciously touched his belly and said, “This is your spiritual root?”

Zhang Yu thought, “Didn’t that evil god say… this is A-Zhen’s own spiritual root, not a rented one? Can it really get into my belly?”

The doll disguised as a prayer bead was also surprised, “This woman’s spiritual root can be transferred?”

Bai Zhenzhen naturally didn’t know what Zhang Yu was thinking, since in her view, Zhang Yu shouldn’t know the secret of her spiritual root yet.

But now that her spiritual root had already burrowed into the other party’s body, Bai Zhenzhen simply stopped hiding it.

She nodded directly, then gritted her teeth and said, “This is a spiritual root I’ve nurtured for over a decade. Does it feel good to use?”

Zhang Yu wanted to say it felt really good, but seeing Bai Zhenzhen’s annoyed expression, he didn’t say it.

He just touched his belly and asked curiously, “Why did your spiritual root come here?”

“Actually, I’ve had a spiritual root in my belly since I was little!”

Bai Zhenzhen sighed and continued, “This thing is different from ordinary spiritual roots. It seems to grow with me!”

“Even in the last two years, it’s been able to adapt and grow in different directions according to my thoughts!”

“Like when you asked to borrow a spiritual root last time, I was wondering if it was possible!”

“As a result, this damn thing just ran into your belly today!”

Hearing Bai Zhenzhen’s words, Zhang Yu couldn’t help but look shocked. “Wait… there’s such an outrageous spiritual root?”

And Bai Zhenzhen got angry when she talked about the spiritual root jumping into Zhang Yu’s belly, and reached out to touch Zhang Yu’s belly again.

Then she showed a look of disdain and clicked her tongue. “It’s troublesome not to have it removed. Why do you react after touching your belly a few times? Do you need time to solve it?”

Don’t you know how vigorous my Qi and blood are right now that you touch me like that? Zhang Yu suddenly had the feeling of a good friend barging into his room and seeing him holding a tissue in one hand and placing the other hand on his pants.

It was at this moment that Zhang Yu suddenly deeply understood the sterilization policy of Songyang High School.

If they weren’t sterilized, and a group of vigorous, money-worshiping, and score-worshiping young men and women were stirred together every day, after three years of high school… wouldn’t the scores decrease?

Under Bai Zhenzhen’s disdainful gaze, Zhang Yu retreated and said, “Don’t worry, think carefully about how the spiritual root got into my belly just now?”

So, after some exchange and research, Bai Zhenzhen asked Zhang Yu to carry her again.

As Bai Zhenzhen hugged Zhang Yu from behind, constantly thinking about the idea of ​​the spiritual root coming back quickly, she felt a sudden warmth in her belly, and her precious spiritual root returned.

With the return of the spiritual root, a surge of spiritual energy poured into Bai Zhenzhen’s body, burrowing into her limbs and bones.

“Hiss!”

She gasped, shocked: “Why does it feel like this thing gathers spiritual energy even more powerfully than before? And it’s also going to places where I don’t usually circulate mana?”

But soon the spiritual root seemed to be re-adapting to Bai Zhenzhen’s physical condition and returned to its usual state.

Bai Zhenzhen suddenly had an idea: “Could it be that after entering Yu-zi’s body, it actively adapted to Yu-zi’s body and turned into Yu-zi’s shape… and then changed?”

“But it recovered soon after and turned back into my shape… is it because it stayed in Yu-zi’s body for too short a time?”

Bai Zhenzhen suddenly became curious: “If the time is longer, and the spiritual root adapts more to Yu-zi’s body… what will happen?”

On the other side, as the spiritual root in his Dantian disappeared and the phenomenon of spiritual energy fullness faded, Zhang Yu also felt a sense of loss.

Just then, he heard Bai Zhenzhen say, “Yu-zi, I’ll try to pass the spiritual root to you again, be ready!”

The next moment, Zhang Yu felt the spiritual root return to his body and take root and sprout in his Dantian again.

The spiritual energy in the air swished into his body, making Zhang Yu feel full of strength.

“Sure enough, cultivators need to have spiritual roots.”

Although he felt great, Zhang Yu understood that the spiritual root in his belly was the key for Bai Zhenzhen to become stronger and get into the Top Ten.

So Zhang Yu suppressed the reluctance in his heart and said, “Okay, A-Zhen, take this spiritual root back quickly, don’t keep taking it in and out and break it!”

Bai Zhenzhen heard this and replied, “It’s okay, I’ll leave it with you for a few hours, I have an idea I want to verify!”

“Ah?”

Zhang Yu said happily, “Then… then I’ll lend you the Talisman Book to play with!”

“Give it to me!”

Bai Zhenzhen reached into Zhang Yu’s arms and took the Talisman Book: “My spiritual root is worth at least several hundred million, this Talisman Book is temporarily mortgaged here with me!”

Then she patted Zhang Yu’s shoulder and said, “Hurry up and go to school, don’t be late or you’ll be embarrassed by that guy Su Haifeng!”

So Zhang Yu ran all the way to school with Bai Zhenzhen on his back.

On the way, Bai Zhenzhen hugged Zhang Yu, leaned on his back, played with the Talisman Book, and occasionally told Zhang Yu about the current functions of the spiritual root.

Zhang Yu suddenly said, “It’s always spiritual root this and spiritual root that, it feels easy to confuse with other spiritual roots when chatting, shouldn’t we give it a name?”

Bai Zhenzhen was slightly stunned. Since she was a child, she only thought about hiding the spiritual root, and she wouldn’t mention the spiritual root in her belly to anyone after entering high school.

So all along, she directly called the spiritual root a spiritual root, because she knew which spiritual root she was talking about.

Hearing Zhang Yu’s words, Bai Zhenzhen couldn’t help but nod slightly: “Um… what should we call it?”

Zhang Yu said, “This is your spiritual root, so let’s call it Zhenzhen Spiritual Root!”

“So corny!”

Bai Zhenzhen curled her lips: “Just call it True Spiritual Root, by the way, after we go back, tell everyone that I lent you the rented spiritual root!”

Bai Zhenzhen smiled: “Hehe, this will make it even more certain that my spiritual root is rented!”

So, for the rest of the way, Bai Zhenzhen continued to tell Zhang Yu about the various magical uses of the True Spiritual Root.

Hiding spiritual roots, hiding oneself, accelerating martial arts cultivation, seeing through flaws in actual combat, accelerating mana refinement, and her recently used body refining auxiliary function.

Zhang Yu listened with sparkling eyes, wishing he could start cultivating hard immediately.

And the whole process, including Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen’s conversation, the evil god doll disguised as a prayer bead naturally watched and listened to the whole thing.

Her evaluation of this was naturally only… stupid.

“Idiots! Idiots! Zhang Yu, you idiot! With this heaven-defying spiritual root, you should immediately kill and steal the treasure! This old man has a hundred ways to help you deal with Bai Zhenzhen’s body, ensuring you won’t be discovered!”

“With this heaven-defying spiritual root as an aid, let alone getting into the Top Ten, you’ll have the chance to study for a graduate degree… no, a doctorate!”

“If you don’t act now, you might be backstabbed by this woman in the future! How can she tolerate such a shocking secret being held in someone else’s hands?”

But looking at Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen’s trusting appearance, the evil god knew that even if she said it, the other party wouldn’t listen, and it would only increase Zhang Yu’s aversion to her.

“Damn it, this is the inherent weakness of poor people, always believing in illusory things like friends, feelings, and trust… these things are useless, they only affect you from making money!”

“Money! Only money is the most important thing!”

After returning to school, Zhang Yu simply skipped the mana class and the combat class, in addition to the general courses of senior high school such as Chinese and mathematics that he had already learned.

Teacher Yan of the mana class and Teacher Lei of the combat class were both Zhang Yu’s acquaintances, and they also knew Zhang Yu’s level of mana control and martial arts combat. The courses in the first year of high school were indeed not helpful to Zhang Yu, and they both agreed to his absence.

In this way, coupled with the physical education class that he originally didn’t attend, Zhang Yu could use most of the day at school to cultivate freely.
