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

Chapter 16: Naturally Youthful
That's enough for now.

After taking the spiritual water, Mo Jiuwei did not experience any further reaction; her body simply felt very comfortable and refreshed.

She has only absorbed a portion of it; the rest will be absorbed gradually over time. Once she has fully absorbed it, she will be able to begin cultivation.

Cultivators typically don't fully manifest their spiritual roots until they are six years old. Only then can their spiritual roots be tested, and cultivation methods can be selected based on their spiritual root attributes, allowing them to formally begin drawing qi into their bodies and continue cultivating.

Before the age of six, a child's spiritual root is still in a latent state. In addition, the child is still young and has limited comprehension ability, so it is not suitable for cultivation.

However, Mo Jiuwei is different. She is clearly not an ordinary child. In terms of understanding cultivation, all the cultivators on the entire continent combined may not be as good as her, who has lived nine lifetimes.

Old Liu was relieved to see that she was alright, and took two more drops for himself.

However, this time, his body showed very obvious abnormalities after taking the medication.

A breeze began to rise outside, and large clusters of spiritual energy gathered there. They were invisible to the naked eye, but the cultivators could sense their presence.

Then, all those clusters of spiritual energy crowded around Old Man Liu and began to rush into his body!
Old Liu groaned, but showed no sign of pain.

After a while——

"Don't you guys think that Uncle Liu... looks younger?"

"It seems like his wrinkles are getting lighter... Wait, look, his hair is turning black!"

Everyone was stunned, staring at Old Man Liu as if they had seen a ghost.

Old Liu was indeed an old man; his hair was white, he was thin and bony, and he had a beard and many wrinkles.

But now, with the influx of spiritual energy, his entire demeanor has undergone a dramatic change!
First, his complexion improved, then his wrinkles became less noticeable, and then his hair and beard gradually turned black, and his back straightened up from being hunched over.

This is not the end.

When Old Liu transformed from an old man into a young man in front of everyone, almost everyone was speechless, staring blankly at the scene.

[Tsk, I didn't expect the old man to be quite handsome when he was young.]

[Now the immortal marrow has truly been nourished.]

This is the benefit of having a special constitution; those who possess immortal essence are born with the ability to preserve their youth, their appearance remaining at the peak of their youth.

[If his immortal essence hadn't been so severely depleted that he couldn't sustain himself, how could Old Man Liu have turned into an old man!]

Liu Feng opened his eyes.

He found it difficult to describe his feelings at that moment. If he had to say, the strongest feeling he had was lightness.

My body felt completely unburdened, as light as a feather, and even the hidden injuries I had suffered before had all disappeared.

The drowsy, listless feeling was gone, and he felt refreshed and energetic, as if he could take on ten people!

At first, he didn't notice the changes in his appearance, only thinking that the feeling might be internal, until he heard Mo Jiuwei's words and noticed the way the people from the Xianlai Sect were looking at him.

It was like seeing a ghost!
What's happening here?
He looked down at himself and was then stunned by what he saw in his hands.

Her hands were clean and white, with firm skin, unlike before when they were covered in wrinkles.
He rolled up his sleeve, looked at his arm, and saw that it was the same!
Then he reached out and touched his face, and when he felt the smooth, delicate texture, his eyes widened in surprise.

Then, he reached out and wiped his hand in front of him, and a mirror appeared in the void.

When he saw the person in the mirror who seemed both strange and familiar, he was stunned for a long time, and then his eyes reddened.

This was him when he was young… As the years passed and he grew older, he almost forgot what he used to look like. “I’ve become younger…”

Liu Feng looked like he was both crying and laughing, and moved his lips as if he wanted to say something.

Fearing he might say something wrong, Meng Ling quickly interjected, "I understand, Uncle Liu must be the legendary Immortal Essence Body!"

Then, she gave everyone a general introduction to what Immortal Essence is, and explained it point by point in light of Liu Feng's situation, finally concluding, "That must be it, that's why Martial Uncle has regained his youthful appearance! Congratulations, Martial Uncle."

"Uncle-Master's appearance has returned to normal, and his cultivation has also made a breakthrough. This is truly a cause for celebration!" Chen Lan sincerely congratulated him.

That's right, a breakthrough!
The spiritual energy was so dense just now that he actually used the wind to successfully break through to the Golden Core stage!

That's the Golden Core stage! Reaching the Golden Core stage means you're practically a half-step Great Power, which fundamentally distinguishes you from ordinary cultivators.

The cultivation stages are Qi Refining Stage, Foundation Establishment Stage, Golden Core Stage, Nascent Soul Stage, Spirit Transformation Stage, and Void Return Stage.

Once you reach the peak of the Returning to Emptiness realm, you can ascend to immortality.

However, almost 90% of cultivators only reach the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages in their entire lives. Reaching the Golden Core stage is already rare, let alone the later stages, which are even rarer, with only one in ten succeeding.

Liu Feng had been stuck at the Foundation Establishment stage for quite some time. If nothing unexpected had happened, he might have remained a Foundation Establishment cultivator until his death.

But things are different now. He has broken through to the Golden Core stage and is now someone that is highly regarded by everyone.

Liu Feng finally smiled, laughing loudly as if to vent his frustration and disappointment over the years. "I never thought I'd end up like this... It's all thanks to..."

Thanks to Jiuwei!
So what if I have the Immortal Marrow Physique? If it weren't for Mo Jiuwei's constant help and reminders, I would have been unaware of my own treasure and would have been letting my physique stagnate for years.

Mo Jiuwei is truly the treasure of the entire sect, and even more so, my benefactor!

Unfortunately, he couldn't say these things to her face, so he had to endure them, which made Liu Feng feel really frustrated.

"That's wonderful! With such cultivation as our martial uncle, and all this wealth we have, the Immortal Sect will no longer be someone anyone can bully!" Du Yue was so happy she almost cried.

"Yes, things will get better and better in the future." Chen Lan nodded and wiped her eyes.

They knew how difficult things had been for the Immortal Sect all these years, and now that everything had taken a turn for the better, how could they not be happy!
Everyone glanced at Mo Jiuwei—

This is truly a lucky star for their sect!

"Now that everything is looking up, I should go and invite the sect leader," said Old Man Liu, or rather, Liu Feng.

[Sect Leader?]

[Oh right, I've never seen the sect leader of the Immortal Sect before. Where is he?]

"Let's go, Jiuwei, I'll take you to see the sect leader."

Liu Feng smiled and reached out to hug Mo Jiuwei.

Mo Jiuwei did not resist and was carried by Liu Feng with great curiosity as they walked towards the back mountain.

There was a small house on the top of the back mountain. As soon as Mo Jiuwei approached, she discovered that it was covered by a formation.

Liu Feng did not break into the formation, but instead sent out a divine sense as a "knock".
