CHAPTER 324: CHAPTER 324: WHO SHOULD CULTIVATE?

"What about Jiang Xixi?" Mrs. Feng asked curiously.

Why just give the men alone and leave the women out? They needed to defend themselves too, even more than the men.

"I won’t give such a lethal weapon to someone with bad intentions towards me. What would I do if she turns it against me and shoots me in the back or worse, shoots you guys?" Feng Tu had already made up her mind. There was no way she would indulge Jiang Xixi.

"So, your eyes finally cleared. I thought you were never going to see through that girl at all. It’s good that you now know what kind of a person she is." Mother Feng was so happy that she could clap.

Her daughter had finally opened her eyes wide and saw what kind of person that teammate of hers looks like.

"Mom, you mean you knew she had ulterior motives? Why didn’t you tell me then? What if I jumped into a fire pit without knowing?" Feng Tu was surprised that her mother was so sharp when it came to reading people.

How had she not realized that before?

Of course Mrs. Feng didn’t want to wrong a good person because of her judgement. So, she never said anything about her thoughts. What if she was wrong? But now that her thoughts were proven true, she could speak them out loud.

"It doesn’t matter now. As long as you know who to leave your back to and who to be wary of, no need to talk more.

Let’s connect the solar-powered generator to the fridge. The sun is out now and we can finally get some electricity.

We can connect the fridge and preserve the things Little Miao gave us for longer." Mrs. Feng couldn’t be bothered with Jiang Xixi now and just wanted to make some braised pork and fish soup.

She had missed such simple meat dishes so much.

When the father and daughter heard Mrs. Feng’s tone of finality, they both shrank back and got down to business.

The woman could be scary when she wanted to be.

Chu Miao had just finished telling her family about that day’s adventure, including how she had met Feng Tu, stumbling upon the ancient battlefield and contracting the white tiger, and the strange tree.

She also talked about what she and Ye Xuan had talked about when it came to building the sect in the mountain.

"It looks like today you woke up with a lot of good luck. Encountering such good things all the way to your destination was fate.

But what do you plan to do about the ancient battlefield you talked about?" Grandpa Chu was overjoyed when he heard that his granddaughter had encountered such a windfall, but he wanted to hear her plans first.

"Grandpa, I don’t know if the ancient battlefield has any restrictions like other secret realms I have seen or heard of before.

Most of them usually have entry criteria such as age restriction, or cultivation restrictions.

Little White said that the pressure of the gods’ breath inside the ancient battlefield could crash anyone below the foundation establishment into meat paste.

Therefore, anyone who wants to enter must first advance to the foundation establishment realm. Except for Ye Xuan, everyone else must meet this criteria.

So, I was planning on taking those who could cultivate up the mountain to cultivate next to the entrance of the ancient battlefield.

The spiritual energy there is abundant and purer than the rest of the world, even more than that inside my soul ring.

I will also go to cultivate there. We can put on hold our plan of expanding the mountain bunker and resume once we come out of the ancient battlefield.

What do you think, Grandpa?" Chu Miao also wanted to know her elders’ opinion.

She didn’t want to make all the decisions blindly thinking of the short-term benefits.

After all, her grandparents and parents were more experienced than she was even if she had lived for two lifetimes. She had never been over eighteen years old anyway.

"I think your arrangement is perfect, but when you say you will take those who can cultivate with you, what do you mean? Do you mean the people you have already introduced cultivation to or the others as well?" Grandpa Chu hoped that they could strengthen their sect earlier before they started facing formidable enemies and strong zombies.

However, he wanted his granddaughter to be comfortable with letting more people cultivate, in case they brought trouble later.

"I was thinking about introducing cultivation to everyone and have them try to sense the spiritual energy in the air. If they have a spirit root, then they will be able to cultivate.

If not, there is nothing we can do about it, they can only remain ordinary people. But we can train alchemists in the future and have them make some life-prolonging elixirs so that those ordinary people can still love longer.

It would be sad if parents who have managed to cultivate live longer than their children without a spirit root.

This process is going to be tough because I can’t give everyone a marrow cleansing pill. If we had the spirit root testing stone then we wouldn’t have to go through all this trouble." Chu Miao didn’t want to discriminate against anyone, but she was aware that even in ancient times, not everyone was born with a spirit root and could cultivate.

"What is a spirit root testing stone?" Chu Hao asked curiously because he was indeed curious about everything that concerned cultivation.

Since he started cultivating, he had realized that the world had changed a lot since ancient times and he wanted to understand what it was like back then.

"There are different types of testing stones. One looks like a crystal ball that once someone with a spirit root touches it, the ball would light up the color of their spirit root or element.

The denser the color, the higher their talent. The other testing stone is like a slab, or a flat stone that works the same as the crystal ball.

When a person touches it, it also lights up the color of their spirit root." Chu Miao explained to her brother.

"I think I know where to find a testing crystal ball." Chu Hao suddenly jumped to his feet and shouted.
