Mo Lianxing was utterly stunned!
Every single one of them had at least a top-tier spiritual root, and some even possessed rare mutated spiritual roots!
Just what was going on with Jiang Che’s women?
Of course, she was only slightly surprised. After all, while top-tier spiritual roots were incredibly rare, Jiang Che already had such a powerful and mysterious master, mastered the Human Emperor Scripture, and even possessed a dual cultivation technique at the immortal-grade level. Compared to those, a top-tier spiritual root was nothing!
She had personally experienced the effects of Jiang Che’s immortal-grade dual cultivation technique—it could even enhance spiritual roots and innate talent. She suspected that all these women’s cultivation aptitudes had been "nurtured" by him.
"All top-tier spiritual roots… These ladies must have originally had very ordinary roots. Now that they’ve reached this level, it’s surely all thanks to… your efforts!"
Mo Lianxing emphasized the last two words with a meaningful tone.
At the same time, she secretly glanced at Jiang Che’s spiritual root.
"???"
Why couldn’t she sense one? Wait… Why was Jiang Che’s spiritual root so trash? A five-element waste root???
She wasn’t sure, so she checked again—only to be completely shocked by what she saw.
Jiang Che’s body was enveloped in a swirling mass of yin-yang chaos energy, with terrifying phenomena manifesting all around. Even his dantian housed a towering blue lotus deeply rooted within…
"Hiss—"
She had never dared to probe Jiang Che’s spiritual root before, fearing she’d be caught and have no way to explain herself.
But now… she felt like she had stumbled upon his greatest secret!!!
Such spiritual root phenomena… infused with yin-yang chaos energy—could it be the legendary Chaos Spiritual Root? Was Jiang Che a Chaos Immortal Physique?!
A grade above top-tier and saint-grade spiritual roots… an immortal-grade?!
Mo Lianxing immediately became docile. No wonder Jiang Che had been taken as a disciple by such a mysterious powerhouse. His talent was actually this monstrous! With a Chaos Spiritual Root and Immortal Physique, Jiang Che… might very well ascend to become a legendary immortal in the future!!!
Mo Lianxing’s imagination ran wild—again!
Seeing Mo Lianxing fall silent, Jiang Che smirked.
Of course, he wasn’t actually a Chaos Immortal Physique. This was all just an illusion conjured by his special effects.
That’s right!
Jiang Che’s god-tier special effects could even fake a spiritual root!
"What’s wrong, dear? Why so quiet?" Jiang Che feigned confusion.
"Ahem, I… I don’t feel like talking. I’m going to rest now—bye!"
Mo Lianxing felt she needed to seriously reconsider her plans.
Jiang Che possessed an immortal-grade spiritual root. His growth speed was beyond her imagination.
By the time she reconstructed her body, his cultivation might already be close to surpassing hers.
What was the point of running then? There’d be no escape. Maybe… she should just cling tightly to this thigh? Bear him a child… and maybe even give birth to an heir with an immortal-grade spiritual root?
......
"Not bad, not bad. Everyone’s cultivating quite well!"
Jiang Che nodded approvingly. Among his women, Chen Ningshuang had the highest cultivation.
Her immortal path had reached the Shattering Heaven Stage, and her ancient martial arts had also attained the same level. With both martial and mystical cultivation, her strength was far ahead of anyone else on modern Earth!
"Shuang’er, prepare yourself tonight. I’ll help you consolidate your cultivation."
Chen Ningshuang instinctively lowered her head.
Ever since the spiritual energy resurgence, she had thrown herself into secluded cultivation, refusing to fall behind.
As for Jiang Che, that freak? She had long given up on surpassing him.
But she didn’t need to surpass Jiang Che—just his other women!
Even if she couldn’t be the top wife, being the strongest in the harem wasn’t a bad consolation.
...
"Oh, right. Su Mianmian, Huangdoufen—both of you, come here."
Jiang Che lounged on the sofa, legs crossed, as Ye Mengyao and the others fed him freshly washed purple grapes.
"Meow?!"
The catgirl Su Mianmian had been napping on the sofa. She had grown two tails now, and with her Nine-Tailed Spirit Cat bloodline, she had recently awakened more ancestral memories. Her cultivation had improved slightly, but her bloodline was still too diluted, so the inherited talents weren’t ideal.
She had only just reached the Foundation Establishment stage!
As for Huangdoufen… well, this little kitten was just plain dumb. She didn’t bother cultivating at all—her tiny brain was only filled with thoughts of ham sausages and dried fish. The meager bit of ancient martial arts she had was all thanks to Jiang Che’s "efforts."
Su Mianmian quickly transformed into her human form, her snow-white hair cascading like a dream. Every time Jiang Che saw her like this, he was struck by her beauty.
"Husband… Husband, I haven’t been slacking off! I’ve been cultivating hard every day, meditating in the spirit fields! Huangdoufen can vouch for me!"
She pointed at Huangdoufen, who was currently sitting on the carpet, gnawing on a giant salted fish plushie. The little kitten blinked blankly before raising her head and wagging her tail in agreement.
"Master-Daddy, Big Sis didn’t slack! She sleeps in the spirit fields with me every day!"
Huangdoufen’s innocent, milky voice nearly gave Su Mianmian a heart attack.
"Alright, alright. Huangdoufen, you come here too."
Jiang Che waved his hand, using spiritual energy to pull the little kitten into his arms. Unfazed, Huangdoufen snuggled in and licked his face.
Jiang Che sighed.
He still needed to find cultivation techniques for these two. Another huge expense!
Fortunately, the system’s technique selection wasn’t too pricey.
He quickly spotted a suitable demonic beast cultivation manual.
[Nine Slashes of the Demon Emperor: A saint-grade technique created by a legendary demon emperor. Suitable for all demonic beasts, it is one of the finest offensive techniques in existence.]
[Price: 5,000,000 points.]
Five million points—cheaper than dirt!
In Jiang Che’s system, techniques were generally quite affordable. Even the Human Emperor Scripture, an immortal-grade technique, only cost 10,000,000 points.
"Purchased!"
Another wave of spending later, Jiang Che glanced at his remaining 30,000,000 points and frowned.
Looks like it’s time to recruit a fourth "employee."
The more workers he had, the easier it’d be to reap the benefits!
"Here. This is a cultivation technique specifically for demonic beasts. Since you can’t practice the Human Emperor Scripture, this Nine Slashes of the Demon Emperor should work for you."
Su Mianmian had no idea how precious this technique was, so she simply accepted it with a sweet smile.
"Thank you, husband!"
Huangdoufen blinked twice before chirping, "Husband-Daddy…"
Jiang Che nearly choked. He tugged her fluffy ears in exasperation.
"Don’t call me ‘Daddy’! I’m not your father! Call me ‘brother’ or ‘master’!"
The other girls couldn’t help but giggle at his reaction.
"Oh, right! I’ll cook seafood for you all tonight!"
Jiang Che suddenly remembered—he had brought back plenty of "local specialties" from his trip to the Dragon Palace.
All seventy-two Crab Generals of the Dragon Palace had been captured by him—not a single leg spared!
Time to treat his ladies to a feast!
