Transmigrated To Ancient Time: Thrive With An Auction System!

Chapter 393: Newly Formed Mustard Seed World ( 3 )

The moment she turned around, Yao Zhi was startled to see her husband staring at her. Patting her chest, she asked, "Husband, when did you wake up?"

Fu Chen’an heaved a sigh of relief when he confirmed that the soul inside his wife’s body was still the same person. "I woke up an hour ago."

Hearing this, Yao Zhi asked again, "Why didn’t you wake me up?"

"I saw you meditating, so I didn’t want to disturb you."

Recalling that her husband could also cultivate, Yao Zhi’s eyes brightened. Since the sword cultivation method was meant for sword users, it wasn’t suitable for her husband, who specialized in blades.

She sat beside him and said, "Husband, I just learned that we can cultivate immortality. I tried it, and there really is spiritual energy. I will find a suitable cultivation manual for you later."

Although Fu Chen’an was doubtful, his heart softened when he met his wife’s expectant gaze. As long as she was happy, he was willing to accompany her in anything she wanted to do.

"Okay," he nodded.

Smelling herself, Yao Zhi frowned and said, "Husband, I cooked a lot of food earlier. Go eat first while I take a shower."

"I will wait for you."

Seeing he had no intention of eating alone, Yao Zhi agreed readily. "Okay."

Since she had already taken the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill before, and had also consumed food and water containing spiritual energy for a long time, there were very few impurities left inside her body.

Therefore, even after the spiritual energy had washed through her meridians for several hours, only a thin layer of grime covered her skin.

It took her less than twenty minutes to scrub herself clean before returning to the dining room.

After sitting beside her husband, she poured him a glass of water, added a drop of spiritual spring water, and handed it over.

While Fu Chen’an drank the water, she asked, "Husband, is it all right for you to stay here for so long? Didn’t you say you still have a mission?"

"It’s fine. I’m currently hiding inside the barbarian General’s mansion. I need to wait until midnight before going out again to search for the defense map. Since I have time, I’m resting here first."

Yao Zhi nodded before suddenly thinking of something. "Husband, what about your team? You can hide here, but they can’t enter the shared manor."

Fu Chen’an smiled and replied, "My team is currently inside Northeast City. My men are investigating the barbarians’ supplies, patrol schedules, troop numbers, and the situation of the people."

"We agreed to regroup the day after tomorrow. I just hope everything goes smoothly for them. We didn’t bring much food or water this time."

Noticing the worry hidden in her husband’s eyes, Yao Zhi didn’t offer meaningless comfort. She understood that words alone couldn’t solve anything.

The two of them stopped discussing the mission and quietly ate dinner together. It was already seven o’clock in the evening when they finished their meal.

After dinner, Fu Chen’an continued analyzing possible locations where the barbarians might have hidden the defense map while planning their next steps.

Meanwhile, Yao Zhi opened the System’s merit shop and searched for a suitable cultivation technique for her husband.

She searched for a long time but still couldn’t find anything satisfactory and asked the system with her thought, "System, is there any cultivation technique suitable for my husband inside the merit shop?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the System replied, "Host, the cultivation techniques sold in the merit shop are mostly low-grade. While they are sufficient for beginners, your cultivation will stagnate after reaching the Foundation Establishment realm."

Even though Yao Zhi suspected the System was trying to scam her again, she had no better option. She couldn’t bear to give her husband an inferior cultivation technique.

"Do you have a suitable one?" she asked.

The next moment, a blue screen appeared before her alongside the System’s mechanical voice.

"Host, you are indeed a blessed person! There are exactly two cultivation methods suitable for your husband’s constitution."

Yao Zhi raised her eyebrows but remained silent, waiting for the System to continue.

"Your husband possesses a Pure Yang Physique and an Immortal Bone. This System has also checked his spiritual roots. He possesses dual spiritual roots of lightning and metal."

Yao Zhi was stunned. "You can actually examine spiritual roots?"

"Yes!"

"Then can you check mine too?"

After several seconds of silence, the System replied, "Host, you possess penta spiritual roots: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth."

The moment she heard this, Yao Zhi’s excitement instantly vanished. She slumped against the couch like a wilted vegetable.

In most cultivation novels, the more spiritual roots a cultivator possessed, the harder it became to break through to another level. The best aptitude was a Heavenly Spiritual Root containing only one element.

She looked at her husband with envy.

Her spiritual roots would be considered trash in cultivation stories, while her husband’s talent, although not the absolute best, was still extremely rare. Moreover, he possessed a Pure Yang Physique and an immortal bone.

His chance of ascending to immortality was very high.

If they had been born in a true cultivation world instead of this newly awakened world, they probably would never have become husband and wife.

Thinking about this, she suddenly felt fortunate that spiritual energy had only just begun returning to this world.

Otherwise, her husband would at least be some heaven-defying genius or second male lead, while she would merely be a nameless background character.

The System became confused when it sensed her mood. "Host, why do you seem unhappy?"

"It’s normal to feel unhappy after learning I have penta spiritual roots."

"Why do you think so?" the System asked, sounding even more confused.

"Isn’t it obvious? The more elements I have, the harder it will be to break through."

The System agreed with her statement. "It’s true that your breakthroughs will be more difficult."
