After the mind-reading cripple junior sister, the entire sect rose to prominence.

Chapter 15 I'm still here!

What do you mean, "I'm so old!"

Mo Jiuwei was speechless upon hearing this.

[Old man, you've really wasted your immortal essence!]

[Someone possessing immortal essence actually says using spiritual items is a waste? That would make others green with envy!]

[However, your immortal essence is somewhat depleted. It's likely that you haven't used any naturally occurring good things in your life, resulting in your immortal essence not being nourished, which is why you're like this.]

[It's alright, as long as you drink the Yuling Water, your immortal marrow will naturally be nourished... One drop is definitely not enough, you need at least three drops.]

It's said that people possessing immortal essence are rare. It seems the old man's mother gave birth to him in the wild, and it just so happened that a spiritual being was born nearby, which is why a trace of this innate energy was transferred to him.

However, a woman's body is weakest during childbirth, and giving birth to a child of immortal essence exhausted her vital energy. His mother... most likely died not long after giving birth to him.

The purpose of cultivation is to use spiritual energy to gradually transform one's mortal body into a jade-spirited body, so as to purify the mind and body and connect with heaven and earth.

Having immortal essence is equivalent to having an innate affinity for spiritual energy. This affinity can completely make up for the deficiencies in one's spiritual root, thus enabling faster cultivation.

Old Liu's body trembled, and his eyes revealed shock.

But then, feelings of guilt, self-blame, and longing emerged.

Mo Jiuwei is right, his mother did indeed pass away not long after giving birth to him.

He and his father had always thought that his mother had died because of her severe injuries, but they never expected that... it was because of him!

Could it be that I truly possess the essence of immortality?

This wasn't the first time he'd heard Mo Jiuwei say this, but he hadn't taken it seriously the first time, since he hadn't yet realized how capable Mo Jiuwei was and didn't trust her.

He also felt that he had nothing special about his cultivation, so he was naturally not one of the lucky ones who possessed immortal essence.

But now, after listening to what Mo Jiuwei said and being completely convinced by what has happened in the past few days, he has finally started to face this issue squarely.

The members of the Immortal Sect exchanged glances, all somewhat excited.

Heavens! Their Uncle Liu is actually a genius with immortal essence?!

Although it's rare to find a genius at such an advanced age... a genius is a genius!
As long as his immortal essence is properly nourished, wouldn't his cultivation speed increase by leaps and bounds, making him no less capable than his former junior sister Meng Ling?

"Uncle-Master, you don't need to talk about whether it's a waste or not. You must use this Yuling Water!" Yi Xingyun earnestly advised.

"That's right. If we've all gotten this together, we should divide it all. How can we not divide it because of this or that reason?"

"If you don't use it, then we don't use it either!"

"Exactly! You're more senior, so you should not only use it, but also get a few more drops!"

Everyone tried to persuade him.

That's right, persuade them, persuade them with all your might!

Mo Jiuwei was satisfied, feeling that the disciples of the Immortal Sect were indeed very much to her liking.

Old Liu looked at the bottle containing the Yu Ling Water with some interest—

Since that's the case, why don't we give it a try?
"Then I'll use it too," he said, conceding.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and then began to distribute the food to each other.

However, Meng Ling's problem lies in her spiritual root, which requires special medicine to cure. Using the Yu Ling Water is useless for her; it's destined to be a waste of every drop.

Meng Ling felt a pang of sadness, but she calmly refused the drop of spiritual water that was offered to her, saying, "I don't need it, because it would be ineffective."

Hearing what Mo Jiuwei said, no one tried to persuade her any further, but they offered Meng Ling a few words of regretful comfort.

Meng Ling was quite optimistic. "It's alright. I'm still young. I believe there will always be a chance to heal my spiritual root."

She glanced at Mo Jiuwei.

She knew that with Mo Jiuwei around, this promise could very well come true. For some reason, she firmly believed that if there truly was someone in this world who could repair her spiritual roots and restore her to her peak condition, that person would definitely be Mo Jiuwei!

"Definitely!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Of course, with Junior Sister Jiuwei around, it seems that no predicament is a predicament.

The reason we're not addressing this now is simply because the time isn't right yet.

When dividing the spirit water, pour it out of the bottle, wrap the drop of spirit water with spiritual energy, and then carefully put it into your mouth.

Unlike elixirs, which are "man-made" substances, only a portion of the spiritual energy in elixirs can be absorbed by cultivators, not all of it. However, the Yu Ling Water can be completely absorbed by the body without any waste.

After everyone drank the Spiritual Essence Water, they immediately sat down to refine the newly acquired spiritual energy.

Ji opened her eyes gently, exhaled, and felt refreshed, with clear hearing and sharp eyesight; even her mind felt much lighter.

"As expected of a magical object! It's really useful!" she exclaimed.

Everyone else also praised it highly.

Everyone is the same; we've never really used many good things. If we hadn't obtained such expensive spiritual items ourselves, we probably wouldn't have been able to use a single drop in our entire lives.

Good things are something you only know once you use them—

It’s really extraordinary!

"Can I have two more drops?" Old Liu suddenly asked, his eyes gleaming. "My body seems a little abnormal after taking it, but it's not enough... Consider those two drops as a purchase, and I'll definitely make up for it when I have the money in the future."

"Uncle Liu, what are you saying? Just use it!" Hu Jiu waved his hand and said.

"Yes."

Everyone had already heard Mo Jiuwei's words and knew what his situation was, and understood that one drop was not enough.

“No, that won’t do. Everyone is just one drop, how can I get more? It’s settled then, consider it a debt.”

Old Liu made a decision with a wave of his hand, and then picked up the bottle again.

Wait, I want one too!

【I'm not a stranger to you!】

Mo Jiuwei grew anxious and started waving her hand as well.

Old Liu was taken aback and looked at Mo Jiuwei, feigning confusion, "Jiuwei, what's wrong? Don't tell me you want to drink this too?"

"This won't do. She's still young. The spiritual energy of this Yuling Water is too strong. How can her body handle it?" Du Yue asked worriedly. "Why don't we save it for her and let her use it when she's old enough to cultivate?"

Giving it to Mo Jiuwei is a given; as long as she wants it, giving her everything is no problem.

But the key issue is that she is too young and has never had a spirit enter her body before. She is currently just a mortal. Is it really okay for her to take the Spirit-Nourishing Water under these circumstances?

Don't let it cause any health problems!

"I can do it! My body has excellent spiritual roots, I can handle it!" Mo Jiuwei said.

Excellent spiritual root?

They exchanged glances, all of them beaming with joy.

"Well, since that's the case, shall we give it a try?" Old Liu stroked his beard and said, "We'll keep an eye on things and take action if anything unusual happens."

Everyone then nodded reluctantly.

Old Liu first fed Mo Jiuwei a drop of Yuling Water. After feeding her, he didn't immediately put away the bottle, but tentatively asked, "Is one drop enough?"
