20: Top-grade Ice Spirit Root

She widened her beautiful eyes, her face filled with disbelief.

“Husband… you said… you could turn my Five Elements Spiritual Root… into a Heavenly Spiritual Root?”

The common knowledge of the Cultivation world she had learned over the years told her that a Spiritual Root was predetermined by heaven, and it was almost impossible to change it Acquired, let alone leap from a mixed Five Elements Spiritual Root to a one-in-a-million Heavenly Spiritual Root!

This was simply unheard of!

Lin Feng held her slightly cold hand and nodded seriously, “That’s right. And, I can let you choose a supreme-grade Heavenly Spiritual Root of a single attribute, whose grade can be on par with my current Spiritual Root.”

Mo Fengwu’s breathing quickened, her chest heaving violently.

She looked at Lin Feng, her eyes filled with shock and emotion, tears unconsciously blurring her vision.

“Husband… this… this is too precious! I… I can’t accept it!”

She knew what a Heavenly Spiritual Root meant; it represented a smooth path to a higher Realm, a type of Aptitude countless Cultivators dreamed of.

And Lin Feng wanted to use such a Heaven-Defying treasure on her.

Lin Feng pulled her into his embrace, gently wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

“Silly Phoenix Dance, since we are Dao Companions, what is yours is mine, and what is mine is yours. Why distinguish between us?”

“If your Aptitude improves and your Cultivation speed increases, we can walk further together on the Immortal path in the future, and I will be even happier.”

His voice was gentle, yet it carried an undeniable meaning.

“Moreover, this item is useless to me; it can only exert its maximum effect on a ‘confidante’ like you.”

Mo Fengwu was held tightly by Lin Feng, feeling the warmth of his chest and the sincerity in his words, her heart surging with emotion like a tide.

She choked out, “Husband… you treat Phoenix Dance… too well…”

“Alright, stop crying, or you’ll turn into a little calico cat.” Lin Feng lightly scratched her nose, “Which attribute of Heavenly Spiritual Root do you wish to have? Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, or mutated attributes like Wind, Lightning, or Ice?”

Upon hearing this, Mo Fengwu tried to calm her emotions and pondered seriously.

A moment later, she looked up, a hint of longing flashing in her eyes.

“Husband, I want… I want to choose an Ice Spiritual Root. I like the purity of ice, and I also like that feeling of serene detachment.”

“Good, supreme-grade Ice Spiritual Root.” Lin Feng nodded, “Then take it now, and I will be your Protector.”

Mo Fengwu looked at the jade bottle in her hand, took a deep breath, and nodded firmly.

“Mm!”

She no longer hesitated, twisted open the stopper, and drank the liquid that emitted a seven-colored glow.

The medicinal liquid entered her mouth, transforming into a cool stream of Qi that instantly surged into all her limbs and bones.

Mo Fengwu groaned, feeling an indescribable sharp pain emanating from the depths of her Dantian, as if countless fine needles were piercing through her Meridians.

Immediately after, an extreme chill erupted from within her body, and the temperature of the entire room suddenly dropped by several degrees.

“Ugh…” Mo Fengwu gritted her teeth, fine beads of sweat seeping from her forehead, her body trembling uncontrollably.

Lin Feng’s expression was solemn. He immediately sat cross-legged behind her, placing his palms against her back, slowly channeling pure Spiritual Qi into her body to help her sort out the turbulent energy.

“Phoenix Dance, guard your mind and guide this power to refine your Spiritual Root and Meridians!” Lin Feng’s voice sounded in her ear, carrying a calming power.

Mo Fengwu endured the severe pain and, following Lin Feng’s guidance, diligently circulated the Five Elements Swordplay, guiding the icy and pure energy.

Time passed bit by bit.

Mo Fengwu’s Five Elements Spiritual Root, under the domineering power of the Spiritual Root Correction Liquid, was gradually decomposed and reshaped.

The mixed attributes were removed, and pure ice attribute Spiritual Qi began to dominate.

Visible wisps of cold Qi emanated from her body, condensing into a thin layer of frost on her bare skin.

Her beautiful hair was also covered with a layer of frost, and her entire being seemed to have transformed into a beautiful woman carved from ice and jade.

This process was painful and long.

Mo Fengwu felt several times that she could not hold on, but Lin Feng’s warm and strong palms, and his continuous words of encouragement, gave her endless motivation.

After an unknown amount of time, the extreme cold finally reached its peak.

“Buzz!”

A faint tremor emanated from within Mo Fengwu’s body.

Immediately after, all the cold Qi that had escaped, like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, surged back into her body.

The temperature in the room quickly rose.

The frost on Mo Fengwu’s body also melted, revealing even more crystal-clear, delicate skin.

A cool and powerful aura slowly emanated from her body.

Her appearance seemed to have not changed much, but her entire temperament underwent an earth-shattering transformation.

Amidst her original gentle and soft beauty, there was now an added ethereal coolness, as if a lotus of ice had quietly bloomed on the peak of a snowy mountain, sacred and noble.

“Ding! Dao Companion [Mo Fengwu]’s Spiritual Root has been successfully corrected to [Supreme-Grade Ice Spiritual Root], her Aptitude has greatly improved, her bond with the Host has deepened, rewarding [System Points] +1000, [Dao Companion Compatibility] increased!”

Lin Feng heard the System prompt in his mind. He slowly withdrew his hands and looked at Mo Fengwu’s jade-like back, revealing a relieved smile in his eyes.

It was successful.

Mo Fengwu slowly opened her eyes.

In an instant, a flash of ice-blue light flickered in her eyes.

She looked down at her hands, feeling the surging pure ice Spiritual Qi within her body, and an unprecedented affinity for the ice attribute Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth, a look of incredible surprise appearing on her face.

“Husband… I… I succeeded!”

She suddenly turned around and, overjoyed, threw herself into Lin Feng’s embrace, her naked body pressing tightly against him.

“I really have a supreme-grade Ice Spiritual Root! I feel… so much change! Thank you, Husband!”

She expressed her joy and gratitude somewhat excitedly, burying herself in Lin Feng’s chest.

Lin Feng was tightly embraced by her soft, slightly cool naked body, feeling her heartfelt joy, his own heart also burning with warmth.

Especially the touch of her icy skin and jade bones, and the faint fragrance and cool aura emanating from her body, formed a strange allure.

He lowered his head to look at the excited ice and snow beauty in his arms, desire rising again in his heart.

“Phoenix Dance, since you feel you’ve changed, why don’t… I, your husband, thoroughly examine what is so miraculous about this supreme-grade Ice Spiritual Root?”

Lin Feng’s voice carried a hint of mischief, and his hands began to wander again.

Upon hearing this, Mo Fengwu’s delicate body trembled, her pretty face flushed pink.

Only then did she realize that she was currently naked, clinging to her husband’s embrace.

“Husband… you… you’re so naughty…”

She pouted shyly but did not push Lin Feng away; instead, she hugged him even tighter, her beautiful eyes shimmering with water, carrying a hint of anticipation and daze.

Lin Feng chuckled softly and rolled over, pressing her beneath him.

“Naughty? I can be even naughtier…”

Outside the window, the sky was already beginning to lighten.

A new day was about to arrive.

And the spring scenery in the room grew thicker again, another round of passionate lovemaking, tireless.

Only soft moans remained, gradually fading into inaudibility in the morning light.
