This 'Spirit-Sensing Ring' is a secret treasure of the Family, capable of silently detecting others' Spiritual Root and Spiritual Body Aptitude, making it difficult for even a Nascent Soul Cultivator to notice.
Logically, if Qin Yuexian truly possessed a Spiritual Body, the ring should have glowed brightly.
"Uncle?"
Qin Yuexian tilted her head, her clear eyes looking directly at Liu Qingfeng, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Liu Qingfeng suddenly snapped back to reality and forced a smile, "No, I'm fine, Uncle just remembered some things."
He stood up, clearing his throat to cover his discomfort, "The children are all doing well, especially Yue Xian. She's only seven years old and already at Qi Refining Middle Stage three."
Qin Faha said with a smile, "With daily rations of spiritual rice and Medicinal Pills at home, how could she not Cultivate quickly?
Nephew Liu, you've come a long way. Why not come in for a cup of spiritual tea?"
Liu Qingfeng hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, "Thank you for your kindness, Senior, but there are still important matters in the Clan, so I cannot stay long."
He took out a Jade Slip from his 懷 and handed it to Liu Qingchan, "These are several new methods for cultivating spiritual plants developed by the Family, perhaps they will be useful to you."
Liu Qingchan took the Jade Slip, her heart a mix of emotions: "Thank you, Brother."
After seeing Liu Qingfeng off, Liu Qingchan immediately turned to Qin Faha: "Second Uncle, why..."
Qin Faha raised his hand to interrupt her. Only after confirming that Liu Qingfeng had indeed left the island did he say in a low voice, "Before Guiya went into seclusion, he placed a secret art on Yue Xian to conceal her Spiritual Body. Normal Cultivators cannot detect it at all.
That young man from the Liu Family just now had a spirit-sensing Magic Treasure hidden in his sleeve, but it was fooled."
Liu Qingchan gasped, "My husband... he anticipated that the Liu Family would come to investigate?"
Qin Faha gave her a meaningful look, "Although Guiya is only a Golden Core, his mind is meticulous beyond what ordinary people can achieve.
Since he chose to become Dao Companion with you, he naturally considered the Liu Family's reaction."
Qin Yuexian, who had been standing quietly to the side, suddenly spoke, "Mama, that uncle just now had a strange aura about him that made me very uncomfortable."
Liu Qingchan and Qin Faha exchanged glances, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes.
"Yue Xian can sense the aura of a spirit-sensing Magic Treasure?"
Qin Faha squatted down and asked seriously, "Tell Second Grandfather, what else did you feel?"
Qin Yuexian blinked, "It was like... like a little bug wanted to burrow into my body, but it was blocked by the green light Father left behind."
She pointed to her glabella, "It feels warm here."
Liu Qingchan's expression changed drastically.
Qin Faha burst out laughing, "Good! Good! As expected of Guiya's son!"
He patted Qin Yuexian's head, "Yue Xian, remember, don't tell anyone about this, including your younger brothers, understand?"
The little boy nodded seriously, "Yue Xian understands."
That night, Liu Qingchan tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
She put on her clothes and went to the peach tree in the courtyard, staring blankly at the starry sky.
"Thinking about the Liu Family's matter?"
Lin Mushuang's voice came from behind her.
Liu Qingchan sighed softly, "I originally thought... after marrying into the Qin Family, I would have no more ties with the Liu Family. I never expected..."
Lin Mushuang walked to her side, "The tree desires stillness, but the wind will not cease. If Yue Xian truly has a Spiritual Body, let alone the Liu Family, even the Qin Family Main Branch would be moved."
"Sister Mu Shuang, do you think my husband... is he a bit strange?"
Liu Qingchan asked in a low voice.
Lin Mushuang was silent for a moment, "Guiya has many secrets.
Do you remember, every time after Dual Cultivation with him, my Cultivation would advance significantly, and even my Comprehension Ability improved a little?
You should know that when I was at Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, I couldn't even refine a second-tier Medium Grade Formation, but after the first Dual Cultivation with my husband, the next day I could draw a second-tier High Grade Formation.
After that, I advanced by leaps and bounds, even being able to refine a third-tier Low Grade Formation."
Liu Qingchan's eyes lit up, and she nodded, "I... it seems I am too.
After my first Dual Cultivation with my husband, I actually gained insight into caring for spiritual plants, and I could immediately discern the condition of the spiritual plants.
Now I can even accelerate the growth of spiritual plants."
Lin Mushuang's eyes widened in shock, "Don't speak of this to anyone else in the future."
"I understand, Sister, this is our little secret."
After Liu Qingchan finished speaking, the two exchanged smiles.
In the following days, with Qin Guiya in seclusion, the two women took on the heavy responsibility of caring for their sons.
One would care for them for half a year, while the other would go into seclusion for half a year.
Meanwhile, after Liu Qingfeng returned to the Liu Family, he did not delay for a moment and went directly to the Immortal Cave where the Clan Chief resided to report.
Inside the Immortal Cave, Liu Xuanting was sitting cross-legged on a jade platform, adjusting his breathing and Cultivating.
Sensing someone's arrival, he slowly opened his eyes.
"How are things?"
Liu Xuanting's voice carried a hint of authority.
Liu Qingfeng respectfully bowed, then shook his head helplessly, "The Spirit-Sensing Ring showed no reaction from beginning to end. No Spiritual Body fluctuations were detected on Qin Yuexian."
Liu Xuanting frowned deeply, "This is impossible.
His grandfather was from that foreign race... According to common sense, if this person injected all his Origin into his descendants' Bloodline, there's a very high chance of a Spiritual Body being born.
Since Liu Qingchan doesn't have one, it would most likely appear in her descendants. How could there be no reaction at all?"
"But the test results of the Spirit-Sensing Ring are indeed so."
Liu Qingfeng hesitated for a moment, then added, "Unless..."
"Unless that old fox Qin Faha used some special method to completely conceal the Spiritual Body fluctuations."
Liu Xuanting snorted coldly, a hint of cold light flashing in his eyes, "It seems we truly underestimated him."
After pondering for a moment, he stood up, "This matter is of great importance and must be immediately reported to Old Ancestor for a decision."
...In the Liu Family's Forbidden Land behind the mountain, clouds and mist perpetually lingered, and an Immortal Cave was faintly hidden within.
Liu Xuanting arrived outside the Immortal Cave and respectfully knelt down to salute, "Old Ancestor, the investigation into the Qin Family's side branch has yielded results."
The Immortal Cave remained silent for a long time, and finally, an aged voice emerged, "Come in."
Inside the Immortal Cave, a gaunt old man in a gray robe sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion.
This person was precisely the Liu Family's Soul Transformation Stage Old Ancestor — Liu Wuyai!
"Old Ancestor."
Liu Xuanting saluted again, then reported the matter of Qin Yuexian in detail.
After listening, Liu Wuyai said thoughtfully, "That foreign race member and Liu Qingchan's mother were deeply in love back then; it's impossible that he wouldn't consume his Origin to enhance the Aptitude of his descendants.
Speaking of Qin Guiya, he is quite a formidable character. With only Four Spiritual Roots Aptitude, and without the support of his parents, he was actually able to Cultivate to Golden Core Middle Stage."
At this point, he suddenly looked up, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes, "This person's Dao Heart must be exceptionally firm."
Liu Xuanting was stunned by these words, "Old Ancestor means..."
"A Spiritual Body can be concealed, but the unique talent of a foreign race's Bloodline is very difficult to completely hide," Liu Wuyai said in a calm tone.
"Then what should we do next..."
"No need to rush."
Liu Wuyai raised his hand to stop him, "My true body is still at a critical juncture in seclusion, so this matter will be temporarily put aside.
Once I emerge from seclusion, I will personally make a trip to the Qin Family.
If Qin Yuexian is indeed found to possess a Spiritual Body, given the current situation, our Liu Family will find it difficult to forcibly bring him back.
It would be better to go with the flow and use this opportunity to gain some benefits from the Qin Family Main Branch."
