Pregnant Cultivator, Doted by Big Boss-Chapter 21 - 19: Energy Introduction, She Can Cultivate Now
Celeste Grant’s eyes lit up.
’Am I a Dual Spirit Root now?’
In this world, having more Spirit Roots upon awakening wasn’t necessarily better; quality was what mattered.
For instance, some people awakened several Spirit Roots, but all of them were trash-tier. These were known as miscellaneous Spirit Roots, and one could only choose the best among them for Cultivation. If all the awakened Spirit Roots were top-grade, one would choose the most suitable one for their Cultivation.
It was also possible to cultivate several at once, but this consumed far too much time and resources, making progress incredibly slow. It was better to just choose one.
There was also a rarer case: awakening a Five Elements Spirit Root, where the roots complemented each other. Cultivation was slow in the early stages, but one would become extremely powerful later on.
Generally, a high-quality single Spirit Root offered the fastest Cultivation speed, but there were exceptions.
In short, you could encounter any kind of situation in the Cultivation World. As long as you had a Spirit Root, you could cultivate. How far you could go depended on your aptitude and effort.
Celeste Grant had just awakened her Spirit Root and already completed Energy Introduction. She had crossed the threshold from an ordinary person into the ranks of Cultivators in a single step.
The fact that she could enter the Qi Refinement Realm so quickly proved that her Spirit Root aptitude was superior. So even if it wasn’t a Top-grade Spirit Root, it had to be at least a top-grade spiritual root.
At this thought, an unconcealable smile spread across her face. She raised her hand and made a finger heart at the Archfiend before her.
Celeste Grant had eyes; she could see how people treated her. She wasn’t blind or unfeeling, so she was truly grateful to him.
To be honest, she always thought of herself as pretty thick-skinned. But accepting his food and taking his things made even her feel a little embarrassed and indebted.
’I’ll have to find a chance to do something for him in the future.’ She was a person of principle. When someone was good to her, she couldn’t just accept it as if it were her due.
In this life, no one was obligated to be unconditionally good to anyone else.
Javier Sinclair didn’t understand the gesture she was making.
"Did you get your head caught in a door?" he said in a cold voice.
Her fingers, frozen in the heart shape, stiffened.
The corner of Celeste Grant’s mouth twitched.
’Such a handsome man, but he just had to have a mouth. What a waste.’
She chuckled and rubbed her fingers together.
"This is to thank you. It’s called making a finger heart."
Javier Sinclair’s brow furrowed slightly.
"You’re always so extra."
"Alright, I’m going to retract the Spirit Root on my head first. Having a flower bloom on my head... walking around like this is just too weird."
She calmed her mind and tried to retract the Spirit Root that had sprouted from her head.
It actually worked.
Under her control, the Spiritual Energy circulating around her returned to her body. The little red flower with its few green leaves on her head slowly retracted as well.
She felt her head.
It was gone.
She picked up a mirror to check.
"It really can be retracted."
’Hehe.’
’I have a Spirit Root.’
This was truly wonderful news.
Celeste Grant peeked at Javier Sinclair. She felt that ever since meeting him, her luck seemed to have taken a turn for the better.
Come to think of it, they were both characters who stood opposite the story’s heroine. The head of the Demonic Sects and the villainous female supporting character.
’Could it be that two negatives make a positive? That their luck improves by being together?’ It was actually a possibility.
Regardless.
He had really helped her out this time. He was her lucky star.
"The Exalted One, thank you for the Blood Litchi. A Heaven and Earth Spiritual Medicine that can make an ordinary person grow a Spirit Root. Something countless people would fight to the death for, and you just gave it to me."
"I don’t even know how to thank you. This thing is so precious, I can’t just take it for free. When I earn Spirit Stones in the future, I’ll give you half. Consider it an investment."
As she spoke, she asked another question.
"By the way, I’ve never even heard of this Blood Litchi. It must be worth at least ten thousand Spirit Stones, right?"
Javier Sinclair said, "The Myriad Treasures Guild obtained one a few years ago. Someone bought it for three hundred thousand Spirit Stones." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
"Wait..." Celeste Grant’s eyes widened, her gaze fixed on him, her voice jumping several octaves. "...Three hundred thousand?"
Inside her storage bag lay a lonely ten Spirit Stones. That was her entire savings.
Celeste Grant choked.
In a single bite, she had devoured three hundred thousand Spirit Stones belonging to her child’s father.
’This...’ She took back what she had just said.
’Who knows how long it would take me to earn that much money?’
She couldn’t afford to pay it back.
Might as well give up.
She felt like she was destined to be a freeloader!
SIGH!
She took a deep breath.
"In the future, when I earn Spirit Stones, we’ll split it seventy-thirty. You get seventy, I get thirty."
All she could do for now was draw a big pie in the sky.
"Celeste Grant."
He spoke her name.
Celeste Grant paused.
This was the first time she had heard him say her name since they’d met.
She never thought her name could sound so good.
"I’m serious. Seventy-thirty when I earn Spirit Stones."
Javier Sinclair said flatly, "What do you see in front of me?"
She didn’t get it at first and actually stared for a moment.
"Nothing. There’s nothing there."
Javier Sinclair sneered.
"There is. I see a very big pie right here."
Celeste Grant realized: ’And I’m the one who drew it.’
’Dude, I didn’t realize you were so funny.’
’Deadpan humor, at that.’
’I’ve gotta say, my kid’s father is pretty sharp.’
She was actually serious, though. She had plenty of ideas for earning Spirit Stones.
"Don’t say that! I really do have lots of ideas for earning Spirit Stones, I just haven’t been able to implement them yet. Trust me, in the future, we’ll definitely get rich, filthy rich! Spirit Stones will rain from the sky, roll in from all directions, come from everywhere, money money money..."
"Shut up."
’This woman... how can she have so much to say? Her endless chattering is giving me a headache.’
"Oh, okay. Let’s not talk about earning Spirit Stones for now. I’ll do something more practical. How about this? I’ll personally cook you a delicious meal. My cooking is one of a kind, I guarantee you’ll be wanting more."
Javier Sinclair’s gaze fell to her large belly.
He frowned slightly.
"Right now, you’re like a flitting moth. You should just rest. I don’t need you to do these things. Just take care of yourself."
Celeste Grant glanced down, rubbing her belly as she said, "Then... I’ll owe you for now. I’ll make it up to you after I have the baby."
Javier Sinclair gave her a cold look.
"I’m leaving."
Tossing out the words, he vanished in a flash.
Celeste Grant looked up at the spot where he had disappeared.
’So fast.’
It was like a shooting star streaking across the sky, gone in an instant.
He truly came and went without a trace.
"What’s the rush!"
「For the next two days.」
Celeste Grant spent her time researching her Spirit Root, poring over numerous books. However, none of them mentioned anyone having a Spirit Root like hers, one that could sprout from their head.
"How strange."
"This mutation is so complete, I don’t have a single clue."
Nerida’s voice came from outside the room.
"My lady, I have returned."
Celeste Grant was currently sitting on a soft couch by the window, surrounded by piles of books. She was engrossed in one of them. Understanding her Spirit Root in advance would be helpful for her future Cultivation.
She looked up and saw Nerida walking in, carrying a large chest.
"My lady, I got some good things for you. See if there’s anything you need."
As she spoke, Nerida placed the chest on the table to her right and opened it.
Celeste Grant glanced over.
The chest was filled with all sorts of books.
She casually picked one up.
"Great Words Immortal Cultivation Technique."
"Dual Cultivation Skill."
"Alchemy Secret Technique."
"Supreme Forget Emotion Immortal Cultivation Technique."
"Heavenly Flame Technique, Five Elements True Essence Technique..."
It was a pile of Cultivation Methods she had never even heard of.
’Are they having a wholesale event here?’
