#356 - Strengthen like a dream, extremely exciting

"The past is in the past. I'll take care of you from now on, and I won't let you suffer any grievances!"

Qin Changqing gently held Hua Rumeng in his arms, patting her back to comfort her.

No wonder he always felt that Hua Rumeng revealed an unparalleled strength and stability in her bones. It turned out that she had this kind of experience, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of heartache.

Feeling Qin Changqing's broad and warm embrace, Hua Rumeng also felt an unprecedented sense of security, and nodded gently.

"Your cultivation should be difficult to improve now, right?"

After a moment, Qin Changqing asked.

Hua Rumeng raised her head and wiped away her tears, nodding and said, "At my level, coupled with the limitations of my aptitude, even with abundant cultivation resources, it is very difficult to improve. I haven't made any progress in this realm for hundreds of years..."

Qin Changqing smiled and said, "Do you want to improve your aptitude?"

Hua Rumeng glared at him and said, "What are you saying? Who in this world doesn't want to improve their aptitude!"

In the world of cultivation, aptitude determines how far one can go in the future, representing a person's growth ceiling. Who doesn't want to become a top cultivator?

"I'll help you!"

Qin Changqing's eyes were burning.

Hua Rumeng was stunned and said, "How can you help me?"

She was a little surprised.

She knew that Qin Changqing had the heaven-defying ability to conceive offspring with spiritual roots. Could it be that he could also help people improve their aptitude?

Qin Changqing chuckled and whispered a few words in her ear.

Hua Rumeng's pretty face turned red, and at the same time, her heart trembled: "Is what you said true?"

Qin Changqing nodded and said, "How can I lie to you about this kind of thing? But I can only help my Dao companions improve their aptitude!"

Looking at the extremely excited Hua Rumeng, Qin Changqing smiled slightly. After learning about her experience, Qin Changqing's heart was filled with pity for this woman, so he couldn't wait to help her improve her aptitude.

Of course, he also had some small thoughts, wanting to quickly consume his lifespan to reach the level of trillions in order to upgrade the system again.

That night, Qin Changqing stayed in Hua Rumeng's room.

Hua Rumeng also lost her initial shyness and restraint. When love ran deep, she was very cooperative with Qin Changqing's various requests, directly maximizing Qin Changqing's experience.

A multiple-choice question appeared again.

[Detected that the partner has earth spiritual roots, please choose:]

[1, Consume 100 million years of lifespan to strengthen the partner to heavenly spiritual roots]

[2, Consume 1 billion years of lifespan to strengthen the partner to multi-attribute heavenly spiritual roots]

[3, Consume 10 billion years of lifespan to strengthen the partner to exotic spiritual roots]

[4, Consume 100 billion years of lifespan to strengthen the partner to low-grade immortal spiritual roots]

[...]

Qin Changqing did not hesitate and directly chose 4, raising Hua Rumeng's aptitude to the level of low-grade immortal spiritual roots.

He and Hua Rumeng had known each other for a long time. Although they got together relatively late, he could feel that Hua Rumeng's true feelings for him were no less than those of Yun Zhixi and others.

This was also an important reason why he did not hesitate to spend 100 billion years of lifespan to improve her.

After a night of lingering, Hua Rumeng curled up in Qin Changqing's arms like a kitten, with a face full of happiness and satisfaction.

Her parents died very early, so she had not felt much care at all. Even though the old Emperor treated her well and regarded her as his own, he died not long after she entered the palace. Therefore, Qin Changqing was the best man to her since she began cultivating, and the man she truly loved and admired.

"See if there are any changes in your body?" Qin Changqing scratched Hua Rumeng's delicate nose and smiled.

He was too engrossed before and almost forgot the business at hand. Hua Rumeng quickly released her divine sense to explore herself, and then suddenly sat up, her face full of surprise and excitement that could not be concealed: "This... this is immortal spiritual roots!!!"

She never expected that Qin Changqing would directly raise her aptitude to such a heaven-defying level!

This is immortal spiritual roots!

She never even dared to dream that she could possess such aptitude!

"Do you like it?"

Qin Changqing looked at Hua Rumeng's cute appearance of being overjoyed, and at this moment, where was the majestic and domineering appearance she had when he first met her? She was completely like a little girl who had obtained her beloved item.

"Of course I like it. Changqing, you are amazing!"

Hua Rumeng hugged Qin Changqing tightly, and the two masses in front of her slammed his face into them.

"Where am I amazing?"

After letting go, Qin Changqing asked with a smile.

Hua Rumeng naturally understood what Qin Changqing was referring to, and couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, giggling and said, "You're amazing everywhere!"

Jumping from earth spiritual roots to the level of immortal spiritual roots at once, even the spiritual power in her body became extremely smooth. The original difficult bottleneck no longer existed. Hua Rumeng could even feel that as long as she cultivated a little after returning, she could immediately break through her current realm and enter the next level.

After all, she had been stuck in this realm for hundreds of years.

When her emotions slowly calmed down, Hua Rumeng suddenly thought of something and asked with some worry: "Changqing, you must have consumed a lot this time to help me improve, right?"

Qin Changqing didn't hide anything and nodded, "It did consume a lot."

Hua Rumeng immediately took off the storage ring on her hand and handed it over: "Keep these spirit stones. I don't know if they are enough to make up for your consumption. If they are not enough, I will find a way later!"

Qin Changqing took the storage ring and probed it slightly, and was immediately a little surprised.

The things in the storage ring added up to the equivalent of a full 100 billion spirit stones.

But thinking about it, it made sense. Wanhua Tower was a gold-selling cave in the Linxian Dynasty, and a lot of spirit stones were earned every year. In addition, she also controlled other industries, so it was not surprising that she had more than 100 billion spirit stones left over the years.

"You don't have to do this. I have enough spirit stones..."

Qin Changqing really felt sorry for Hua Rumeng and didn't want to spend her spirit stones, not to mention that the other party had handed over all her savings to him.

Hua Rumeng's attitude was very firm: "Changqing, you helped me improve my aptitude to immortal spiritual roots. This is a great kindness. Of course, we shouldn't say these things between us. I just don't want you to consume too much. We are Dao companions, so we should give to each other, shouldn't we? And I am already your person, so these external things don't matter!"

Seeing Hua Rumeng say this, Qin Changqing no longer refused and put away the storage ring.

In this calculation, he had earned back some of the 100 billion years of lifespan he had spent before.

"By the way, have you helped Zhixi strengthen her aptitude?"

Hua Rumeng asked.

Qin Changqing shook his head and said, "I've been quite busy during this time, and I'm still accumulating spiritual energy. I haven't had time yet. I plan to help her strengthen it after I go back!"

Hua Rumeng felt a little smug in her heart. This time, she could be considered ahead of Zhixi!
