What do you mean, "at my age"!
Mo Jiuwei was speechless upon hearing this.
【Old man, you have truly wasted your Immortal Marrow!】
【Someone possessing Immortal Marrow saying that using a Spiritual Object is a waste—if others heard this, they would be so jealous they'd vomit blood!】
【However, the Immortal Marrow in your body is somewhat withered. You must have never used any good stuff grown from Heaven and Earth in your entire life, causing the Immortal Marrow to be deprived of nourishment, which is why it has become like this.】
【It is fine. As long as you consume the Spirit Nurturing Water, the Immortal Marrow will naturally be nourished... One drop is definitely Not Enough; you need at least three.】
【It is rare to find someone with Immortal Marrow. It seems the old man's Mother gave birth to him in the wild, and by chance, a Spiritual Object was born nearby, so a wisp of this innate energy was shared with him.】
【However, a woman's Physique is at its weakest during childbirth, and giving birth to a child with Immortal Marrow would have exhausted her vital energy and blood. His Mother... most likely passed away shortly after giving birth to him.】
For a Cultivator, Cultivation is the process of using Spiritual Energy to gradually transform one's mortal, impure body into a Jade Spirit Physique, so that the body and mind may be cleansed and connected to Heaven and Earth.
Possessing Immortal Marrow is equivalent to having a natural affinity for Spiritual Energy from birth. This affinity can completely compensate for any deficiencies in one's own Spiritual Root, thereby allowing for a faster speed of Cultivation.
Old Man Liu's body shook, and a look of shock appeared in his eyes.
But immediately after, it turned into emotions of guilt, self-reproach, and longing.
Mo Jiuwei was right; his Mother did indeed pass away shortly after giving birth to him.
He and his father had always thought his Mother lost her life due to severe Injury, but he never expected... it was actually because of him!
And as for himself, could he really be someone who possesses Immortal Marrow?
This was not the first time he had heard Mo Jiuwei say this, but the first time he heard it, he did not take it seriously. After all, he had not yet realized how formidable Mo Jiuwei was and did not trust her.
He also felt that there was nothing special about his own Cultivation, so naturally, he could not be a lucky person with Immortal Marrow.
But now, having heard what Mo Jiuwei said and having become completely convinced by her through the events of the past few days, he finally began to take this matter seriously.
The Xianlai Sect Disciples exchanged glances, all feeling somewhat Excited.
Heavens, their Martial Uncle was actually a Genius possessing Immortal Marrow?!
Although a Genius of such an advanced age is a bit rare... but, a Genius is a Genius!
As long as his Immortal Marrow is properly nourished, wouldn't his speed of Cultivation advance a Thousand Li a day, making him no worse than the former Junior Sister Meng Ling!
"Martial Uncle, you don't need to say things like 'waste' or 'not waste'; you must use this Spirit Nurturing Water!" Yi Xingyun advised sternly.
"That's right, we all obtained these things together. If we are to divide them, we should divide them all. How can we not divide them just because of this or that reason?"
"If you don't use it, then we won't use it either!"
"Exactly, you have more seniority; not only should you use it, but you should also take a few more drops!"
Everyone persuaded him one after another.
【That's right, persuade him, persuade him hard!】
Mo Jiuwei was satisfied, feeling that the Xianlai Sect Disciples were truly very much to her liking.
Old Man Liu looked at the bottle containing the Spirit Nurturing Water with a sense of hesitation—
Since it has come to this, why not give it a try?
"Then I will use it too," he compromised.
Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to distribute it to everyone.
【However, Meng Ling's problem lies in her Spiritual Root. This requires special medicine to be cured. It is useless for her to use the Spirit Nurturing Water; it is destined to be a waste of one drop.】
Meng Ling felt a pang of sadness in her heart, but she calmly refused the drop of Spiritual Water offered to her, "I don't need it, because it would be ineffective even if I used it."
Hearing what Mo Jiuwei said, everyone did not try to persuade her further, only offering some words of regretful comfort to Meng Ling.
Meng Ling was open-minded about it, "It's okay, I am still young, and I believe there will always be an Opportunity to cure my Spiritual Root."
She looked towards Mo Jiuwei.
She knew that with Mo Jiuwei here, this would certainly be possible.
Strangely, she firmly believed that if there was anyone in this world who could help her repair her Spiritual Root and allow her to return to her Peak state, that person would definitely be Mo Jiuwei!
"Definitely!"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
That was a given. With Junior Sister Jiuwei here, it seemed that no predicament would ever be a true predicament.
If it cannot be Resolved now, it is simply because the time has not yet come.
When distributing the Spiritual Water, they poured it out of the bottle, wrapped that drop of Spirit Nurturing Water with Spiritual Energy, and then carefully sent it into their mouths.
Unlike "man-made" items like Pills, where only a portion of the Spiritual Energy can be absorbed by a Cultivator, the Spirit Nurturing Water can be entirely absorbed by the body without a single bit of waste.
After consuming the Spirit Nurturing Water, everyone struck while the iron was hot, quickly sitting down to refine this newly entered mass of Spiritual Energy.
Ji Qingqing opened her eyes and let out a breath, feeling refreshed in body and mind, her hearing and vision sharpened, and even her mind felt much lighter.
"It is worthy of being a Spiritual Object! It is truly useful!" she exclaimed.
The others were also full of praise.
Everyone was the same; they had never used many good things. If they hadn't obtained such expensive Spiritual Objects with their own hands, they probably wouldn't have been able to use even a single drop in their entire lives.
And as for Good Stuff, whoever uses it knows—
It is truly extraordinary!
"Can I use two more drops?" Old Man Liu suddenly spoke up, his Gaze flickering with light, "My body seems to have an Anomaly after I consumed it, but it is Not Enough... I will treat those two drops as if I bought them, and I will definitely make up for it when I have money in the future."
"Martial Uncle Liu, what are you saying? Just go ahead and use them!" Hu Jiu waved his hand.
"That's right."
Everyone had already listened to Mo Jiuwei and knew what his situation was, and they understood that one drop was Not Enough.
"That won't do. Everyone gets one drop, how can I take more? It is settled then; I will treat it as a debt."
Old Man Liu waved his Large Hand and decided, then picked up the bottle again.
【Wait, I want some too!】
【And me!】
Mo Jiuwei was anxious and also started waving her hands.
Old Man Liu was stunned and looked towards Mo Jiuwei, feigning Doubt, "What is wrong, Jiuwei? Could it be that you want to drink this too?"
"That won't do, right? She is still young, and the Spiritual Energy in this Spirit Nurturing Water is too strong. How could her body handle it!" Du Yue asked with concern, "Why not save it for her and let her use it when she can begin Cultivation?"
Distributing it to Mo Jiuwei was a given; as long as she wanted it, there would be no problem giving her everything.
But the key was that she was too young and had not even guided Spiritual Energy into her body yet. She was currently just a mortal. In this situation, is it really okay to rashly consume Spirit Nurturing Water?
Don't let her have any problems!
【I can do it! My Physique has an Extremely Good Spiritual Root, I can handle it!】 Mo Jiuwei said.
Extremely Good Spiritual Root?
Everyone exchanged glances, all with expressions of joy.
"Ahem, since that is the case, then shall we try?" Old Man Liu stroked his beard and said, "We will watch from the side, and if there is any Anomaly, we will respond accordingly."
Only then did everyone pretend to nod reluctantly.
Old Man Liu first fed Mo Jiuwei a drop of Spirit Nurturing Water. After feeding it to her, he did not put the bottle away immediately but tentatively asked, "Is one drop enough?"
