127: Half of the spiritual roots are missing, Xu Xiao is shocked that my son is confused

Xu Chuang rushed back to the Xu Family overnight!

Meanwhile, in the inn...

Ye An wasn't idle either; he returned to Liuli Manor and retrieved the Earth-Grade Spiritual Root!

Xu Chuang, Jiang Yu, and other Cultivators all wanted to snatch this item, ultimately to use it to enhance their own Spiritual Root.

Now that this Earth-Grade Spiritual Root was in Ye An's hands, he naturally had to consider whether to keep it for himself or give it to his wives!

In a pavilion within Liuli Manor...

Ye An began to deliberate.

Currently, the System recognized six of his wives: Ye Xinlian, Ye Yinger, Ye Tonger, Ye Mier, Qin Ruyan, and Liu Bairan.

Ye Xinyan and Jiang Yu — one had made no progress, and the other had strayed — so they were naturally not considered for now.

Among the six wives, Liu Bairan had a Heaven-Grade Spiritual Root, so she was naturally out of the question!

Qin Ruyan had an Earth-Grade Spiritual Root, so she was also not within the scope of consideration!

That left only the four Ye Family women who could potentially use the Earth-Grade Spiritual Root.

Among them, Ye Mier had a High Grade Spiritual Root, just like him now, and giving it to her might not necessarily elevate her Spiritual Root to Earth-Grade!

On the other hand, giving it to Ye Xinlian and the other two girls should be able to raise their Spiritual Roots to High Grade!

If the three girls' Spiritual Roots could be elevated to High Grade, then every time he earned merit points in the future, it would increase by 10 points!

Looking at it long-term, it was still very cost-effective!

But he still had four High Grade Spiritual Roots in his hands, which could at least allow two of the three girls to reach High Grade Spiritual Root!

Thinking this way, it might be better for him to use the Earth-Grade Spiritual Root himself.

Of course, he also had to see how many merit points he could save if he used the Earth-Grade Spiritual Root!

If it could save a lot, then it would definitely be more cost-effective for him to use it; otherwise, it would be more cost-effective to use it to enhance the Spiritual Roots of Ye Xinlian and the others!

Thinking of it, he acted immediately, asking in his mind...

“System! If I refine this Earth-Grade Spiritual Root, how many merit points can it save me in the process of elevating a High Grade Spiritual Root to an Earth-Grade Spiritual Root?”

Faced with Ye An's inquiry, the System actually spoke.

“Ding! Host's current Spiritual Root is a High Grade Spiritual Root. Elevating it to an Earth-Grade Spiritual Root requires consuming 100,000 merit points!”

“If the Earth-Grade Spiritual Root in hand is refined, the merit points requirement can be reduced by half!”

Listening to the System's reply, Ye An couldn't help but be stunned.

Half the merit points, that was a full 50,000 points!

How many days would he have to toil day and night to earn that much back!

Upon hearing the System's reply, Ye An decided to refine it himself almost without thinking!

Are you kidding? 50,000 merit points, that was simply too good! If he could get another one, wouldn't he be able to elevate to an Earth-Grade Spiritual Root without even consuming merit points!

Thinking of it, he acted immediately, and Ye An began to refine the Earth-Grade Spiritual Root.

The entire process was also very smooth.

In just one hour, the essence of the Earth-Grade Spiritual Root had completely integrated into Ye An's body.

And Ye An's High Grade Spiritual Root also faintly showed a light purple hue.

And purple, it turned out, was precisely the color of an Earth-Grade Spiritual Root!

Having dealt with the Earth-Grade Spiritual Root, Ye An stopped talking nonsense, stood up, and stretched, saying,

“It's getting late. It's time to retire for the night!”

“Let me think, who should I find to earn merit points tonight?”

“I've got it!”

Ye An smiled, and immediately a graceful figure appeared in Liuli Manor.

“Husband!”

Seeing Ye An, Qin Ruyan also hurriedly bowed.

Ye An smiled, pulled Qin Ruyan into his arms, and said at the same time,

“Just one more person, and then we'll go to bed!”

Qin Ruyan's pretty face flushed, and then she nodded.

And very soon, Ye Mier also appeared in the manor!

However, Ye Mier obviously didn't recognize Qin Ruyan and looked at the two of them with a bewildered expression!

But none of that mattered.

Because ten minutes later, Ye Mier got acquainted... and hard work always pays off.

Ye An's achievements that night were quite good, earning a full 850 merit points... Dawn broke.

In a secret chamber of the Xu Family in Jianglan City...

Watching the red light slowly dissipate from Xu Chuang's body, Xu Xiao, the family head and Xu Chuang's father, finally let out a long sigh.

“How do you feel?”

Xu Xiao asked hurriedly.

Light shone in Xu Chuang's eyes, and he said excitedly,

“I've Broken Through! I've Broken Through!”

“Father, I've entered the Golden Core Realm!”

“The senior truly didn't lie to us; this Skyfire Pill is real!”

“The side effects from taking the beast blood have also been cleared!”

Xu Xiao was also excited to hear this.

“Good! Good!”

“Our Xu Family finally has another Golden Core Realm expert!”

“Thirty thousand Spirit Stones, your father has already prepared them for you. Take them back early to thank the senior!”

Saying this, Xu Xiao handed over a storage ring!

Xu Chuang didn't waste words and immediately took it.

Xu Xiao then asked,

“Did the senior say how long he plans to stay at Ye Family Pass?”

“If he finishes his business at Ye Family Pass, you must find a way to invite him to our Xu Family as a guest!”

“What our Xu Family lacks most now are connections at the top. With the senior acting as a go-between, it will surely allow our Xu Family to rise to the next level!”

Xu Xiao thought Ye An was going to Ye Family Pass to do business, completely unaware that Ye An already lived in Ye Family Pass!

Xu Chuang said,

“Father, don't worry. If I have the chance, I will definitely invite the senior to our Xu Family as a guest!”

“As for how long he'll be at Ye Family Pass, I don't know. The senior naturally has his own plans for what he does!”

Xu Xiao nodded.

“That's true!”

“By the way, son, you mentioned before that this senior is surprisingly young!”

“Then, I wonder if the senior is married?”

“Do you think there's any possibility of introducing your sister to the senior?”

“If such a person could become our Xu Family's son-in-law, then our Xu Family would truly rise!”

“This...”

Xu Chuang's face was full of embarrassment. Good heavens, how come besides himself, both Ye An and his father wanted to form a marriage alliance with the other party!

As soon as he thought of his sister marrying Ye An, Xu Chuang was a hundred percent unwilling!

He had a feeling of his brother 'pigging' his sister!

After all, Ye An and Xu Chuang usually presented themselves as young men!

Thinking of this, Xu Chuang hurriedly said,

“Father, the senior has a Dao Companion!”

“Don't even think about it. Besides, that's my biological sister, your biological daughter!”

“How can you be so pragmatic!”

Xu Xiao heard this and said,

“How can this be called pragmatic?”

“Your sister hasn't found her ideal husband yet. What if she and the senior hit it off?”

“But the senior isn't lacking wives; I've already seen two!”

Xu Chuang said.

Xu Xiao, however, said,

“What does that matter? Which powerful Cultivator doesn't have many Dao Companions?”

“While you are choosing Dao Companions, Dao Companions are also choosing you!”

“Find an opportunity to mention your sister to the senior. What if it works out?”

Xu Chuang really didn't want to do this and hurriedly said,

“Well, let's talk about it later. I need to hurry back and find the senior!”

“Father, I'm leaving now!”

Saying this, Xu Chuang slipped away. Since he came back at night and hadn't seen his sister, he decided not to introduce anyone at all!

“Hehe! I'm still clever!”

Xu Chuang laughed in his heart.

But this infuriated Xu Xiao, who hurriedly shouted,

“My son is foolish!”

“My son is truly foolish!”
