7: Chapter 7 System Upgrade

One equals ten.

Was it ultimately because of cultivation base or something else?

If it was because of cultivation base, was there any pattern to it?

Luo Xingyu, at the first layer of Qi Refining, resulted in one equaling five times, while Cheng Sanniang, at the Late Stage of Qi Refining, resulted in one equaling ten times.

It didn't seem to have any pattern.

Then besides cultivation base, what else could it be?

A flash of inspiration struck Chu Feng's mind, and he leaned in to ask: "Sanniang, what is your Spiritual Root?"

"It's a Mystic Spirit Root! Husband, what's wrong?" Cheng Sanniang asked listlessly.

"Hmm, you must work hard to Cultivate and strive for a Foundation Establishment as soon as possible." Chu Feng squeezed with his right hand.

Mystic Spirit Root.

Cheng Sanniang was actually a Mystic Spirit Root.

So, Lin Youchu, having no Spiritual Root and being a Mortal, was only one time.

Luo Xingyu had a Yellow Spiritual Root, so one equaled five times.

Cheng Sanniang had a Mystic Spirit Root, so one equaled ten times.

It made perfect sense.

So, in the future, he would need to find Dao Companions with high-grade Spiritual Roots?

"Ah~ hmm! That's right, why do I feel like my cultivation base just improved a little?" Although Cheng Sanniang hadn't experienced this before, she was not some ignorant novice.

Unless one practiced a Dual Cultivation Cultivation Technique, one's cultivation base would not improve.

Yet she clearly hadn't practiced any Dual Cultivation Cultivation Technique.

Chu Feng leaned into Cheng Sanniang's ear and whispered: "That is a type of Dual Cultivation Formation that can improve one's cultivation base."

Hearing this, Cheng Sanniang perked up, and her charming voice rang out: "Then I'm booking ten sessions of Dao discussion every day."

"No problem." Chu Feng naturally agreed readily.

After all, he gained more from the Dao discussion with Cheng Sanniang; even though he had only just achieved a Breakthrough to the fourth layer of Qi Refining a few days ago, he was now on the verge of reaching the fifth layer.

The Dual Cultivation Formation and the 10x Yellow Spiritual Root were just that powerful.

Just like that, talisman making, Cultivating, Dual Cultivation, Dual Cultivation, Dual Cultivation, Dual Cultivation...

In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed.

Late at night.

"Husband, just now... why do I feel like something is a little different?"

A smile curled the corners of Chu Feng's mouth: "What's different?"

"It's just..."

"More... more..."

Chu Feng laughed heartily: "What, are you not satisfied?"

"Satisfied, of course I'm satisfied."

Cheng Sanniang gave him a charming roll of her eyes, then asked with confusion: "But how is this possible? Could it be that Husband has practiced some special Cultivation Technique?"

"You could say that."

Chu Feng did not explain further; with a thought, a pale blue light screen unfolded before his eyes.

[Giant Spirit Root System]

[Rank: Level 3 (1/10000 times)]

[giant spirit root effect 1: 30/30]

[giant spirit root effect 2: Spiritual Root effect increased by 15 times]

[giant spirit root effect 3: Dual Cultivation Formation - Three Talents Formation]

[giant spirit root effect 4: Spiritual Root Legacy]

Looking at the information on the light screen, uncontrollable excitement surged in Chu Feng's heart.

The System had upgraded.

30/30 points!

This meant it had increased from 25 to 30, from 20 to 30.

The Spiritual Root effect was increased by 15 times!

Jumping from 10 times to 15 times was not simple addition.

Originally, after his Yellow Spiritual Root was increased by 10 times, it was already comparable to a Mystic Spirit Root.

Now that it was increased to 15 times, it was likely already approaching the level of an Earthly Spiritual Root!

The Formation had upgraded from the Two-Instrument Formation to the Three Talents Formation.

This meant that efficiency would significantly increase.

And a fourth giant spirit root effect had appeared—Spiritual Root Legacy.

"Spiritual Root Legacy..." he murmured, a look of contemplation flashing in his eyes.

Interpreting it literally, this effect should be related to offspring.

Could it be that the offspring he had with his Dao Companions could inherit the optimized Spiritual Root?

If that was truly the case, the value of this effect was simply immeasurable!

In this world, the rise and fall of a Family depended largely on the Spiritual Root Aptitude of their descendants.

If Chu Feng's children could all possess excellent Spiritual Roots, then the Chu Family would surely rise in the future!

"Husband, what are you thinking about?" Cheng Sanniang asked softly when she saw him lost in thought.

Chu Feng snapped out of it and kissed her on the forehead: "Thinking about our future."

"Our future..." Cheng Sanniang's eyes were gentle, "I am already very satisfied right now. I didn't expect that the little guy I saved on a whim back then would end up being my Husband."

"Do you regret it?" Chu Feng asked with a smile.

"Regret?" Cheng Sanniang rolled over onto him, her red lips curling into a charming arc, "I regret not eating you sooner!"

The two of them cuddled for a while longer, then Cheng Sanniang suddenly remembered something and asked: "By the way, Husband, just now during Dual Cultivation, I felt that my cultivation base improved even more; what is going on?"

Chu Feng's heart stirred, knowing this was the effect of the Three Talents Formation.

Chu Feng explained: "My understanding of the Dual Cultivation Formation has deepened, so naturally, the effect is better."

Cheng Sanniang's eyes lit up: "That sounds pretty good."

Looking at her charming appearance, Chu Feng could not help but feel a stir in his heart.

It had to be said that although Cheng Sanniang was a few years older than him, whether it was her appearance, figure, or temperament, she was top-tier.

Especially that unique charm of a mature woman, which young girls like Lin Youchu and Luo Xingyu did not possess.

...

The next morning.

When Chu Feng woke from his Cultivation, Cheng Sanniang was no longer there.

He got dressed and walked out of the bedroom, seeing Cheng Sanniang practicing swordplay in the courtyard.

She was wearing a red martial outfit, holding a three-foot green blade, the sword light like a rainbow, her movements agile and vigorous.

Every strike carried a sharp sound of piercing through the air, clearly showing that she had put a lot of effort into the Dao of the sword.

Chu Feng watched quietly for a while, and only when she finished her set of sword techniques did he clap and say: "Good swordplay."

Cheng Sanniang sheathed her sword and turned around, fine beads of sweat seeping from her forehead as she smiled: "Husband is awake? My meager skills are not worth mentioning in front of a real Sword Cultivator."

"It's already quite good." Chu Feng walked up, took the sword from her hand, and weighed it: "The quality of this sword is average; I'll get you a good one another day."

"Really?" Cheng Sanniang's eyes lit up: "Then I'll keep that in mind."

As the two were talking, Lin Youchu and Luo Xingyu walked out from the side room.

Seeing Chu Feng and Cheng Sanniang standing together, a gentle smile appeared on Lin Youchu's face: "Brother Feng, Sister Cheng, breakfast is ready."

Luo Xingyu lowered her head somewhat shyly and greeted them in a low voice: "Husband, Sister Cheng."

Cheng Sanniang walked over and took the hands of the two younger sisters, smiling: "You've worked hard. Let's go, let's eat."

Breakfast was Spiritual Rice porridge and a few side dishes; although simple, it was very warm and cozy.

While eating, Chu Feng said: "I'm going to make talismans today; Sanniang, the safety of the courtyard is up to you."

Cheng Sanniang nodded: "Rest assured, with me here, there's no problem."
