Chapter 39 Testing Grandma's Spiritual Roots
When Aunt Zhao invited her to stay for dinner, Shen Baisu smiled and replied, "Okay."

After saying that, he continued towards the backyard.

However, just a few minutes later, Shen Baisu appeared in the living room. "Aunt Zhao, why are there only two trees in the back? Where are the other two?"

Aunt Zhao was arranging for the cook to prepare some dishes that Shen Baisu liked when she heard Shen Baisu's question. She poked her head out of the kitchen and said, "Weren't there only two? There were only two when they were brought over yesterday."

Shen Baisu: ?

Hmm? Were the other two trees lost?

"Can you contact the person who brought the trees over? We also need to find the other two; it will be a big problem if they get lost."

If it were any other tree, losing it wouldn't matter; Shen Baisu could just replant it. But the Red Beauty Fruit Trees are different. They are linked to Lin Xiaoran's graduation project, and Teacher Huang has warned her not to give them to others. If someone with ulterior motives gets them, it might cause trouble for Lin Xiaoran.

Shen Baisu's words made Aunt Zhao realize the seriousness of the matter. She nodded and said, "I left my phone number. I'll ask now."

After saying that, Aunt Zhao immediately went to make a phone call.

About three minutes later, Aunt Zhao returned after making the call. "Third Miss, it turns out that the other two trees were taken back by the master."

"It was called back halfway before it was delivered to the old house, so I didn't see it."

"They also said that after the tree was taken back, the gentleman had it replanted in the backyard of the estate."

Upon hearing this, Shen Baisu's eyes filled with doubt.

Shen Mao had it taken back? What is he planning?
Could it be that, having failed to subdue her, he's venting his anger by abusing the tree that was with her?
Upon learning that the trees were not lost, Shen Baisu calmed down. She went back to the backyard to check on the two trees, and to ensure their survival, she secretly poured some spiritual spring water into the soil.

After she finished watering the trees, she strolled around the backyard, planning when to move two more trees over.

Shen Baisu returned to the living room only after the old lady got up.

The old lady was very happy to see her come to the old house. She chatted with her for a long time, and then the two of them had dinner together.

After dinner, Shen Baisu accompanied the old lady for a walk to aid digestion.

"Grandma, let's sit here and rest for a while." The two walked to a pavilion, and Shen Baisu pulled the old lady to sit down.

Then, Shen Baisu mysteriously took out a crystal flower shaped like a lotus flower that was as transparent as ice. The crystal flower had a total of ten petals, and the core of the flower was a raised transparent hemisphere.

"Grandma, come here, put your hand on this hemisphere." Shen Baisu held up the crystal flower to the old lady and urged her to put her hand on the flower's center.

"What are you trying to do?" The old lady's eyes were filled with doubt. Although she was still puzzled, she still placed her hand on it without hesitation, and at the same time, she couldn't help but tease, "Su Su, are you going to tell my fortune?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Baisu laughed and said, "You know what, this thing really can predict fate."

This is used to test one's spiritual root. In the cultivation world, if one's spiritual root type and grade are determined, one's future fate can basically be determined.

The old lady didn't believe Shen Baisu's words, thinking she was just joking, but she continued to play along.

Shen Baisu remained silent, her eyes fixed intently on the crystal flower.

Under the watchful eyes of the grandfather and grandson, a faint layer of gold began to emerge from the originally transparent, ice-like flower core. At first, the gold only floated in the flower core, but gradually, the gold began to spread, like ink dripping into water, dyeing all eight petals of the crystal flower gold.

"It changed color! How amazing!" The old lady looked at the crystal lotus that had changed color, her eyes filled with wonder. "But why aren't these two petals lit up?"

Seeing that two of the petals were still transparent, the old lady looked on with great interest.

As soon as color appeared in the crystal flower, Shen Baisu's eyes lit up with undisguised joy. After confirming that the gold would not spread any further, she put the crystal flower away with satisfaction, muttering, "An eighth-grade golden spiritual root, that's not bad either."

After taking the Marrow Cleansing Pill, I should be able to advance to the ninth rank. Shen Baisu's muttering was too soft for the old lady to hear clearly, and she subconsciously asked, "What?"

Shen Baisu had already put the crystal flower away. She rested her chin on her hand, looked at the old lady with a sweet smile, and said, "I'm telling you, Grandma, you're destined for wealth and longevity."

Shen Baisu did not plan to tell the old lady about cultivating immortality for the time being. He would wait until the old lady had mastered the skills before telling her. By then, he would not be afraid that she would not believe him.

If I tell the old lady now, she'll start to suspect that I've been scammed.

The old lady felt that Shen Baisu was just trying to make her happy, but she couldn't help feeling happy inside. "Whatever fate Susu says Grandma has, that's what fate Grandma has."

“It’s 100% certain that Grandma is destined for wealth and honor. Now, we should work hard to live a long life.” Shen Baisu said, walking around the round table and pulling the old lady to her feet. “Come on, I’ll teach you the mental techniques. Practice them whenever you have time, and you’ll surely live a long and healthy life.”

The old lady got up with a smile and let Shen Baisu pull her back into the house.

Originally, Shen Baisu planned to go find Su Qing and the others tonight, but it was too late and he had to go to school tomorrow, so he gave up the idea of ​​going to the suburban villa to look for them.

As for the manor, Shen Mao is probably still waiting to deal with her, so she can't go there.

So, Shen Baisu stayed at the old house that night.

Not only that night, but for the next four days, Shen Baisu went back to the old house after school. She not only brought Su Qing to the old house as well.

During the day, Shen Baisu goes to school, while Su Qing stays at the old house to chat with the old lady, teaches her cultivation, and occasionally prepares medicinal meals for the old lady with the cook.

In just four days, the old lady began to treat Su Qing like her own granddaughter.

**
Before we knew it, it was Friday again.

Shen Baisu had no classes in the afternoon on Friday, so she went back to the old house at noon.

Upon returning to the old house, they discovered that two unexpected guests had visited that day: Changyu and Yulan.

Upon seeing the two, Shen Baisu was surprised. "Senior Brother, Yu Lan? What brings you two here?"

Originally, Shen Baisu was planning to take Su Qing to the suburbs to find them later, but unexpectedly, they came by themselves.

Upon hearing Shen Baisu's question, Yu Lan spoke first, "You missed Grandma Shen, so why don't you come and see her?"

Shen Baisu: "Of course, that would be perfect."

These are guinea pigs that have willingly offered themselves up.

Four days later, Su Qing had improved the Marrow Cleansing Pill. She was just worried about not finding anyone to test the medicine, and now it had been delivered right to her door.

Hopefully, this time the Marrow Cleansing Pill won't have any side effects. If it doesn't, then we can cleanse the old lady's marrow.

Although the last Marrow Cleansing Pill had side effects, it was still effective. If it weren't for the fact that she wanted to give it to the old lady, Shen Baisu wouldn't have bothered Su Qing to make her improve it.

The old lady is too old. If she vomits and has diarrhea like Shen Mingyu after taking the medicine, her body definitely won't be able to handle it. Therefore, the medicine needs to be improved, and we must first find an ordinary person like the old lady who has never cultivated before to test the medicine.

Thinking that someone was testing the drug, Shen Baisu couldn't help but give Yu Lan a kind smile.

Upon seeing this, Yu Lan felt uneasy. "You, you shouldn't smile at me."

Although Yu Lan didn't know what Shen Baisu was thinking, after hearing her words and seeing her kind smile, Yu Lan suddenly had a bad feeling and couldn't help but be more wary of Shen Baisu.

In the past, Shen Baisu would smile at him like this before she tried to trick him.

He suspected that Shen Baisu was going to trick him again.
