128: Dreams can also be real.
"Quickly adjust your breathing, conceal your aura, clean up the scene, and prepare to return to the Northern Frontier."
After watching Shangguan Yuexi leave, Nangong Wenxin stood up and said to the crowd.
"Understood!"
The Zhenbei Army responded, their faces filled with joy as they quickly dispersed to prepare for their departure.
"Wenxin, why do I feel like Your Highness the Grand Imperial Consort is hiding something?"
Qin Wuhui glanced at the dispersing Zhenbei Army, then turned to Nangong Wenxin, a hint of doubt on his face.
Nangong Wenxin turned his head, looking at him with a half-smile, "Is this outcome good?"
"Of course, for my Zhenbei Army, it couldn't be better!" Qin Wuhui said without hesitation.
Nangong Wenxin nodded slightly, his gaze fixed on the distance, and he slowly spoke, "Since this outcome is already very good, why bother knowing too much?"
Hearing this, Qin Wuhui pondered.
Nangong Wenxin smiled faintly, "Alright, let's prepare quickly. We'll return to the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains in the Northern Frontier tonight!"
"Understood!" Qin Wuhui nodded, "Still using the teleportation array?"
Nangong Wenxin paused, "We're not busy these days, let's use the battleship!"
"Alright!"
...Night.
Having not slept for three days, Nangong Yu curled up in Shangguan Yuexi's arms, sleeping soundly.
Meanwhile, the news of the Zhenbei Army heading north on a battleship reached various forces, causing them to secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
The next day, early morning.
Shangguan Yuexi watched Nangong Yu wake up, then picked him up and asked, "Yuer, if we were to trade with Spirit Stones, how many would it take to raise Aunt Shen's Spiritual Root to top-grade?"
"Five million!"
Nangong Yu rubbed his sleepy eyes and casually said, not wanting too much!
After all, Spirit Stones obtained by directly selling Spiritual Roots cannot be exchanged for points!
Wait!
Directly selling?
What if he first obtained Spirit Stones, then exchanged them for points, and then exchanged for a Spiritual Root?
Thinking of this, Nangong Yu blinked. Besides, what he exchanged for was not to be sold, but for his own people!
Moreover, how were the Spirit Stones his mother gave him not his? How were they obtained by selling things?
At this thought, Nangong Yu's heart stirred.
Shangguan Yuexi handed over a Jade Card, "Take some out and use it to improve Aunt Shen's. Aunt Shen has been very good to us two, mother and son!"
Nangong Yu nodded, took the Jade Card, and pretended to close his eyes for a moment. The number on the Jade Card rapidly changed, and in a blink of an eye, five million disappeared!
Nangong Yu returned the Jade Card to Shangguan Yuexi, smiling, "Mother, it's done. It will still take three days, and it will be one day after you all!"
As Nangong Yu spoke, a wisp of his consciousness exchanged the five million Spirit Stones for points and then exchanged for a top-grade Earth Spiritual Root for Aunt Shen to undergo Fusion.
After all, she previously had a High Grade Earth Spiritual Root!
Hearing Nangong Yu's words, Shangguan Yuexi retrieved the Jade Card. She dared not let this Little Fellow hold it for now!
He used thousands of years of Lifespan without even batting an eye. If the Jade Card were in his hands, who knew when he would spend it all.
"Alright, time to get up!"
Shangguan Yuexi picked up Nangong Yu, helped him get dressed, and then walked out of the bedroom.
A moment later, after they had washed up and eaten breakfast together, Nangong Yu was sent to the Supervision Office by his mother.
Ever since she learned that her obedient son's Cultivation was now higher than hers, Shangguan Yuexi was in a great mood and began to Cultivate diligently.
She rested with Nangong Yu at night, so naturally, she needed to seize the day to Cultivate!
...Time flew by, and two days passed in a blink of an eye.
Nangong Yu also had some free time these two days, taking Su Xingmeng and Qing Ling to the Scripture Pavilion every day.
Afterward, he naturally let Qing Ling read books, while he casually refined a few batches of top-grade spirit artifacts, then simply lay down.
The top-grade spirit artifacts he refined were the four custom top-grade spirit swords that Disha promised Nangong Aotian, as well as 300 random top-grade spirit artifacts he refined casually!
The so-called random meant swords of uniform appearance, with five attributes—metal, wood, fire, wind, and lightning—randomly assigned.
And these 300 swords were naturally refined in one batch, with no difficulty at all!
Early morning.
Watching Su Xingmeng prepare to try the last few Cultivation Techniques, Qing Ling did not leave.
She came behind Nangong Yu, massaging his shoulders, her eyes holding three parts anticipation and three parts loss.
"Young Master, do you know? Last night, Qing Ling dreamed that Qing Ling also had a Spiritual Root and could Cultivate!"
Nangong Yu looked at her disappointed expression and couldn't help but smile, "It is said that dreams can also be real. When you go back, try this Cultivation Technique; maybe it will work!"
As Nangong Yu spoke, he took out a Jade Slip and tapped it against Qing Ling's glabella. The contents of the Cultivation Technique entered her mind, and the Jade Slip turned into dust!
"Young Master, Jade Slip Cultivation Techniques are precious, why did you waste one so casually on Qing Ling?"
Qing Ling looked at the dissipating Jade Slip, her expression changing slightly, revealing a look of distress.
It was rumored that Jade Slip Cultivation Techniques could directly allow one to fully remember and understand the contents of the Cultivation Technique, and they were very expensive!
"It's fine!"
Nangong Yu waved his hand slightly, "I don't know who gave it to me as a full moon banquet gift; if it's used, it's used!"
"But..."
"No buts, that Cultivation Technique is water-attributed. I see your nature is like water, so if you truly develop a Spiritual Root, it might also be a water-attributed Spiritual Root."
Nangong Yu finished speaking and smiled faintly, "Don't overthink it. Whether you have a Spiritual Root or not, it's just a Cultivation Technique; it's good to give you some comfort!"
But he spoke lightly, when in reality, it was a Saint-Grade Cultivation Technique he exchanged for five hundred billion points!
The Grand Profound Water Art!
After all, she was his personal attendant, and he couldn't treat her unfairly!
And last night, he exchanged an even better Cultivation Technique for his mother, also a Saint-Grade Cultivation Technique!
The Scripture of Sacred Protection!
As a result, he now only had over one hundred billion points left, and he would need to find a way to get more later.
Hearing Nangong Yu's words, Qing Ling finally said no more, bowing slightly, "Qing Ling thanks Young Master!"
Nangong Yu didn't answer. Qing Ling looked up slightly, only to see that Nangong Yu had already closed his eyes, feigning sleep.
Seeing this, she said no more and continued to massage Nangong Yu's shoulders.
At this moment, she suddenly thought of something and was slightly stunned.
'This warm feeling has been there since I came to the Supervision Office, and it hasn't stopped. Could it be that I really have a Spiritual Root?'
Qing Ling blinked, but she didn't actually go to Cultivate that Cultivation Technique, intending to do so after returning!
Time passed, she knew not how long.
Qing Ling saw Su Xingmeng walk over with a dejected expression and couldn't help but feel a little worried, "Young Miss Xing Meng, are you alright?"
"I'm fine!" Su Xingmeng shook her head slightly, dispelling some of her low spirits, "There doesn't seem to be my Opportunity here either. I wonder where Master said my Opportunity actually is?"
Hearing her words, Nangong Yu slowly opened his eyes, "Sister Xingmeng, sometimes some things cannot be forced. Why not follow your inner feelings? Perhaps one day, you will get the answer you seek."
Hearing this, Su Xingmeng pondered, remaining silent for a long time, lost in thought.
