"Really, big brother? Second brother has also developed a Spirit Root Talent and can cultivate now?" Yang Wen asked Yang Fei excitedly.

At the peak of White Jade City, many wooden buildings have now been constructed. The largest and most luxurious one belongs to Yang Fei's base.

Next to this wooden building is a smaller one, where Yang Hao and Huang Qiaoqiao live, along with Second Aunt Li Guiju and cousin Yang Wen.

Originally, these people lived at the Yunwu Mountain's Base, but ever since Yang Fei discovered White Jade City and shifted his focus there, he had brought Yang Hao and Second Aunt's family over.

The four of them lacked the Spirit Root Talent and couldn't cultivate, but Yang Fei took special care of these relatives, giving them a lot of Genetic Liquid Medicine, which they frequently consumed.

Having lived in White Jade City for more than five years, Li Guiju remains an ordinary person. However, the environment is excellent, with abundant spiritual energy, so she is in great physical condition, full of spirit.

Last time, when the Lingxiao Sect sent the Longevity Pill, Yang Fei first thought of Second Aunt and gifted her one.

This elixir could extend longevity, increasing the lifespan of ordinary people by ten years.

Back then, because of his own reasons, Second Uncle was killed. Although Yang Fei later avenged him, the matter left him with deep remorse, feeling that he owed Second Uncle's family.

He could only strive to compensate Second Aunt and others in other ways.

Today is Second Aunt Li Guiju's birthday, so Yang Fei, along with Qin Yanyang and Tong Yunshu, had a meal at home as a gesture of filial piety.

However, after scanning Yang Hao, Yang Wen, and Huang Qiaoqiao with the Innate Eye, Yang Fei discovered that Yang Hao had developed a Spirit Root, which made him ecstatic.

In response to Yang Wen's inquiry, Yang Fei nodded with a smile, "Absolutely true. How could big brother lie to you about something so significant?"

Yang Wen cheered, "That's wonderful, brother, now you can cultivate, control a flying sword, fly and disappear into the earth, and become an immortal cultivator like big brother and them, able to live long and freely."

Yang Hao was still somewhat dazed, but inwardly filled with joy.

Ever since he was assessed at the Yunwu Mountain's Base and found lacking a Spirit Root Talent, Yang Hao felt deeply disappointed, although he kept it to himself.

In the past, he didn't see much value in martial arts or cultivation, but now, with Earth's changes, the Spiritual Energy Revival, and the advent of the Cultivation Era, even Outer Domain Cultivation Forces have arrived on Earth, making him acutely aware that he might be left behind by this new era.

He had no grand ambitions; he just wanted to live happily and safely with his mother, wife, and sister.

However, during the last major change, as an ordinary person, he couldn't protect his mother and wife at all.

If not for the help of the Mo Family, he, his mother, and Huang Qiaoqiao might have ended up buried in the ruins, just like most people in Huangyang County.

Later, while staying with the Mo Family, waiting to connect with the outside world, they encountered bandits formed by Martial Artists from a Hidden Sect.

If Yang Fei hadn't arrived in time, he knew he would have surely died, and the women, his sister and wife, would have faced an even more tragic fate.

These countless personal experiences have shown Yang Hao the harshness of this world, where strength is paramount. Without the ability to cultivate or practice martial arts, one would be forsaken by the times, becoming the lowest class among ordinary people.

Despite feeling unwilling, he found himself powerless.

Because those without Spirit Root Talent couldn't cultivate, and he had none.

But he didn't give up.

He could still practice martial arts even if he couldn't cultivate.

Although he was already past the prime age for practicing martial arts, big brother Yang Fei had assured him that with hard work and diligent practice, mastering the authentic Innate Skill of Taoism was still highly promising.

Even if he couldn't become an immortal cultivator in the future, reaching the Innate Realm, becoming a top Martial Artist, and gaining some self-protection ability to safeguard his family was still possible.

Yang Fei told him that as long as they diligently worked hard in their cultivation, Genetic Liquid Medicine and Spirit Stones would not be a problem. With the aid of the Genetic Liquid Medicine and Spirit Stones, cultivating as a Martial Artist is now much easier than before, and even though Yang Hao had long passed the prime age for practicing martial arts, he could still become an Inner Strength or even Energy Transformation Martial Artist within three to five years.

Therefore, Yang Hao never gave up and continued his diligent martial arts training.

Five years later, with Yang Fei's various assistance, he indeed became a martial arts master at the Middle Third Grade of the Energy Transformation Realm.

Although such achievements might not count for much in the current Earth Cultivation World, Yang Hao still felt proud of himself and somewhat assured, believing that if he encountered natural disasters again, he would have some self-protection ability to some extent, protecting his family.

Now, hearing that he had developed a Spirit Root and could cultivate, Yang Hao's joy was beyond words, leaving him in a daze.

Nearby, Li Guiju and Huang Qiaoqiao were also filled with joy.

Especially Li Guiju, as a mother, her son being able to cultivate and attain longevity brought her natural happiness, making her repeatedly say, "His father must be watching over the children from the heavens."

After the initial surprise, Huang Qiaoqiao's eyes revealed a deep sense of loss, followed by panic, worry, and various complex emotions.

She was, of course, happy that her man could cultivate.

But she was still an ordinary person, unable to cultivate.

There is a distinction between the immortal and the mundane.

Cultivators can live long, for hundreds of years, while she, as a mere mortal, would age quickly, with the time she could stay by Yang Hao's side getting shorter and shorter.

For ordinary people, several decades are already long enough, but since the revival of spiritual energy on Earth, since everyone started focusing on cultivation, she discovered how quickly time passed; five years went by in a flash, and now she was already twenty-eight.

In a few more years, when she is old and faded, while Yang Hao can cultivate and maintain strong life traits, he will likely start to resent her.

Qin Yanyang and Tong Yunshu noticed the change in Huang Qiaoqiao's expression. Being more sensitive, they naturally understood her current worries, silently grateful that they were diligent enough to cultivate; otherwise, they would drift further away from Yang Fei, just like Huang Qiaoqiao.

Yang Fei patted Yang Hao's shoulder and said, "Even though it's a tri-elemental Spirit Root, the worst type of aptitude, at least you have the qualifications to cultivate. And rest assured, as long as you continue taking Genetic Liquid Medicine, it's still possible to enhance your Spirit Root Talent a bit. Big brother will always help you, ensuring you establish your Foundation and become a true cultivator."

Yang Hao, coming back to his senses, looked at Yang Fei with gratitude and said, "Thank you, big brother, I will definitely do my best."

Yang Fei looked at Yang Wen and Huang Qiaoqiao, encouraging them, "It's no longer unusual for Genetic Liquid Medicine to nurture Spirit Roots in people without them, so you both have a great chance too. Don't give up; our family can all cultivate, remain healthy and long-lived, and be always together."

Yang Wen nodded vigorously.

Huang Qiaoqiao also quietly clenched her fists.

She would work even harder than others in her cultivation, only then she wouldn't fall further behind Yang Hao.

Just as Yang Fei, Qin Yanyang, and Tong Yunshu were leaving Second Aunt's house, a particular aura emerged from the distance.

All three of them changed their expressions simultaneously.

"Someone else is establishing their Foundation?" Qin Yanyang's eyes lit up with surprise.

Yang Fei's expression drastically changed, "It's actually Sun Xingyu."

The words still hung in the air as he instantly teleported away.
