Chapter 353: Chapter 158: You Are All My Wings, Superior Spiritual Root!_3

Clearly still suffering from social anxiety, she is shy with strangers.

She understood that the other person appeared normal and natural only in front of her.

Once she left home and faced strangers, her social anxiety would be triggered again.

Lu Changsheng also knew that this was a psychological trauma.

It was not something that could be completely healed in a short time.

“It’s okay, your brother is here,”

Lu Changsheng pinched her small hand and said to her gently.

“Mm-hmm.”

While looking at Lu Changsheng’s handsome and spirited face and listening to his words, Bai Ling felt as if a spring breeze was caressing her face, bringing a sense of peace and tranquility to her heart, dispelling her fears.

They arrived at the backyard of the Lu Residence where a small Spirit Gathering Array was set up, and Lu Changsheng began to teach Bai Ling the “Returning Origin Technique.”

This Cultivation Technique was attributeless.

Not only was it simple for beginners, but it also made it convenient to switch to other Cultivation Techniques later on.

After Lu Changsheng’s half-day of explanations, Bai Ling had understood the methods of cultivation.

Through her efforts, she was able to sense nature’s spiritual energy and started trying to draw it into her body.

“This spiritual energy is so harmonious…”

Lu Changsheng watched as Bai Ling sat cross-legged, her little face focused and serious as she absorbed nature’s spiritual energy, a look of surprise in his eyes.

As a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, he could clearly detect the spiritual energy meandering through the air.

And the speed at which Bai Ling was drawing the spiritual energy into her body was of a very high caliber.

He watched over her quietly as she practiced her cultivation.

“Brother, I did as you said, allowing the breath to flow through here, here, and here, and then I held it here,”

After half an hour, Bai Ling opened her eyes and gestured with her hands as she spoke.

“Just half an hour to refine the first strand of spiritual energy,”

“And this within the humble Spirit Gathering Array of the mortal world.”

Lu Changsheng was somewhat shocked.

He still remembered that he, with only a Ninth Grade Spiritual Root, had spent an entire night at Qingzhu Villa to cultivate his first strand of spiritual energy.

“So it seems that Bai Ling’s Spiritual Root is at least of high quality!”

“Or even if it isn’t a high-quality Spiritual Root, her constitution may enable her to cultivate at a speed not inferior to those with high-quality Spiritual Roots!”

Lu Changsheng made a judgment in his mind.

He had previously examined Bai Ling’s body with his Divine Sense.

But Bai Ling’s condition was quite special.

It made it impossible for him to discern the state of her body or the quality of her Spiritual Root.

He didn’t even understand what was the deal with the snake scales on her hand.

“Brother?”

Bai Ling saw Lu Changsheng staring at her, lost in thought, and called out softly.

She was worried that she had done something wrong and disappointed him.

“No, it’s nothing, little Ling’er, you did really well to achieve this so quickly,”

Lu Changsheng came back to his senses, ruffled her little head, and said with a warm smile.

“Hehe.”

Bai Ling, hearing his words, immediately showed a happy and contented smile.

“Should I take Bai Ling to Qingzhu Mountain?”

Lu Changsheng pondered internally.

In the mundane world, although there was the small Spirit Gathering Array, it wouldn’t affect early-stage cultivation.

But it still couldn’t compare to Qingzhu Mountain.

Moreover, taking Bai Ling to Qingzhu Mountain would make it easier for him to monitor her condition and cultivate their relationship.

After thinking it over briefly, Lu Changsheng decided to take Bai Ling back to Qingzhu Mountain.

It was ultimately somewhat inconvenient in the mundane world.

Furthermore, given Bai Ling’s condition, she would have to be taken to Qingzhu Mountain sooner or later; it might as well be now.

Besides, Bai Ling’s rate of cultivation suggested she had at least a high-quality Spiritual Root, which made him uneasy about leaving her in the mundane world.

Even though the mundane world would not have any powerful cultivators, one must always guard against the unexpected.

What if a powerful cultivator happened to pass by, saw Bai Ling’s unusual talents, and took her away?

At Qingzhu Mountain, at least, it would be much safer.

“Ah, if only I had my own spiritual land, my own home, things would be so much more convenient and stable.”

“I wouldn’t need to be so busy all the time, running from place to place.”

Lu Changsheng suddenly thought.

If he had his own spiritual land, situations like Bai Ling’s would be much more manageable.

Xiao Xiyue wouldn’t need to live in the Red Leaf Valley Market all the time.

And for offsprings without Spiritual Roots like Lu Ping’an, once they reached adulthood, they could live in a small village or a small town on the spiritual land.

“Indeed, at a certain point, one really does need a home of their own,”

Lu Changsheng sighed inwardly.

He then informed Bai Ling that he was preparing to take her to another home of his.

Upon hearing this, Bai Ling was also very happy.

It was just that she felt a bit reluctant to leave the few friends she had just made, Lu Wuyou, Lu Xile, and Lu Ruyi.

After all, when she was in the village, she had always been despised, labeled a monster, and never had any friends. Now that she had finally made a few, the prospect of parting and not seeing them for a long time saddened her.

“It’s okay, brother will come to visit them when I have time, and I can bring you along then,”

Lu Changsheng ruffled the little girl’s head and said with a smile.

He hadn’t expected that in only half a year, Bai Ling would have formed a friendship with his daughters.

After living at home for a little less than half a month, Lu Changsheng took Bai Ling and Granny Zhao to Qingzhu Mountain.

Bai Ling had severe social anxiety and lacked a sense of security. Taking her to Qingzhu Mountain when he was not around would surely make her feel insecure, but Granny Zhao’s presence would make it much better.
