Eternal Life as False Emperor

The second cycle of Grand Circulation was completed. Just as Zheng Yi was about to start the third cycle with his spiritual power, a dangerous intuition brought on by his damaged spirit root emerged once again.

Zheng Yi quickly stopped, and only then did the feeling of danger temporarily dissipate.

However, when Zheng Yi reopened his eyes, there was not the slightest hint of disappointment in his expression.

It had only been one night since the repair of his spirit root.

He had already reached the level of a Mid-grade Spirit Root, and this was even before using the Centennial Stalactite.

Thanks to his wife, Zhang Qingmiao.

At this critical moment, his spirit root further improved!

Perhaps the Centennial Stalactite could be saved for others around him, but it would indeed take some time, as producing the Centennial Stalactite wasn’t an easy task.

Zheng Yi had thought things through clearly.

Being of a Mid-grade Spirit Root.

He could distinctly feel the change in his cultivation speed.

Although he was currently employing the Celestial Cloud Technique, even so, his cultivation speed had increased several times over.

No wonder cultivators with Low-grade Spirit Roots can generally only reach the middle stage of Qi Refining, and that requires quite a bit of luck, while those with Mid-grade Spirit Roots have the potential to break through to the late stage of Qi Refining. The difference between the two is indeed significant.

With this, Zheng Yi was filled with confidence and continued his cultivation.

Until he temporarily exhausted the spiritual power in his body.

He then stood up.

After having lunch within the mansion, he headed to the Skill Transmission Hall.

Upon arriving at the Alchemy Pavilion, Master Zhang, with hands behind his back, looked at Zheng Yi with a darkened expression and said in a not-so-pleasant tone, "While it’s important to balance work and rest in cultivation, one must not be too lazy, understand?"

At this time, Master Zhang was not only Zheng Yi’s teacher but also his father-in-law.

Zheng Yi smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Teacher."

Master Zhang nodded solemnly and watched Zheng Yi walk into the Practice Pavilion.

He looked relieved, feeling that he had indeed not chosen the wrong person.

By evening.

When Zheng Yi returned to the mansion, many of the household servants had already returned to the residence of Master Zhang.

Not all the servants were brought along as dowry, so even if there was some dowry, the quantity wasn’t much.

At the time, Master Zhang wasn’t well-off either.

Master Zhang sat solemnly in the main seat, while the beautiful mistress beside him listened to the reports from the servants, breathing a slight sigh of relief.

If Zheng Yi were to know of this matter, wouldn’t it unnecessarily ruin their relationship?

"Zheng Yi is my student, and now he is also a valued son-in-law of the Zhang family.

If his character were lacking, would I have given my daughter to him in marriage?

He is a rare young talent of the Wang family."

Master Zhang said with feigned irritation.

The beautiful mistress rolled her eyes, knowing that even if she hadn’t handled these matters herself, Master Zhang, as the father, undoubtedly would not neglect them.

Yet she still complied with Master Zhang’s words, saying, "Husband, I was wrong, it won’t happen again next time."

The beautiful mistress was quite savvy in this regard; otherwise, she wouldn’t have held her position firmly as the first wife in the mansion for many years, with only two concubines beside Master Zhang.

Both were chosen by her for Master Zhang.

Her status in the mansion was as solid as a rock.

"It would be ideal if she could marry the Young Family Head."

The beautiful mistress blurted out suddenly.

Upon hearing this, Master Zhang’s originally relieved expression froze instantly.

He wanted to say something but swallowed his words temporarily.

The Young Family Head of the Wang family, he was the future Patriarch of the Wang family.

His character, temperament, cultivation talent, and skills in array drawing were all outstanding, second only to the granddaughter of the Second Elder, Wang Miaomiao, as the future hope of the Wang family.

But unfortunately, he was an out-and-out cultivation fanatic, barely interested in women.

It’s said that he is already close to thirty, yet he remains a virgin, maintaining the Original Yang Body to enhance his chances of advancing to the Foundation Establishment Stage with Original Yang Power.

If Wang Miaomiao is the second genius of the Wang family, then their Young Family Head, Wang Xingyin, is undoubtedly the first genius.

Wang Miaomiao has only recently prepared to breakthrough to the late stage of Qi Refining, while the Young Family Head has already reached the Eighth-layer Qi Refining.

It’s a pity that he is so fanatically obsessed with cultivation that he’s hard to pin down, occasionally appearing at the Wang family to pick up a large batch of cultivation resources, while spending most of his time training outside.

To reach this level before the age of thirty.

For small families like theirs, this is already the limit.

Master Zhang took a deep breath, slowly organizing his thoughts.

Then he spoke slowly: "The Young Family Head’s spirit root is top of the top, rumored to be only a step away from being a Top-grade Spirit Root. How could our daughter have the fortune to reach for such heights?

Moreover, the Young Family Head maintains the Original Yang Body to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

If she were to marry him, she might never be truly happy."

These principles were known well by the beautiful mistress; as parents, they always wished for the best possible future for their children.

"One must learn to be content,"

Master Zhang said quite emphatically.

The beautiful mistress lowered her head and said, "Husband is right."

The moonlight hung high, spilling down like water waves.

That night.

Zheng Yi stayed once more in Tingxiang Garden, continuing his joyful union with Zhang Qingmiao.

"Absorbing Pure Yin Qi, lifespan increased by fifty years."

"Absorbing Pure Yin Qi, Gold Spirit Root increased by six."

"Absorbing Pure Yin Qi, Fire Spirit Root increased by five."

"Absorbing Pure Yin Qi, Wood Spirit Root increased by one."

Zhang Qingmiao had all Five Elements Spirit Roots, but the qualities of the roots varied.

Among her Low-grade Spirit Roots, the Gold and Water Spirit Roots were relatively stronger, so Zheng Yi obtained different enhancements by absorbing Pure Yin Qi.

Nonetheless, Zheng Yi was already quite content.

Over the next few days.

Zheng Yi stayed continuously at Tingxiang Hall, mainly focusing on repairing his spirit root, rather than merely indulging in carnal pleasures.

Fortunately, Zhang Qingmiao was also a cultivator, already at the Third-layer Qi Refining, and by using a considerable amount of Spirit Powder daily to mend her body, she was able to withstand Zheng Yi’s "demands."
