Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 1493: Chapter 1493: Refining

Tan Shaoting was in immense pain, yet he persisted, determined to become strong enough to protect his wife and child.

The Nascent Soul was slowly adapting. Honestly, the way the Nascent Soul endures freezing is different from how the body endures it…

After another half month, Su Yuanyuan sat beside Tan Shaoting, and now the duration he spent frozen was significantly reduced.

From yesterday to today, he hadn’t been frozen at all. This is a good sign, indicating imminent success.

The long-armed ape approached, “Master, the other four Spiritual Lotuses have sprouted.”

Su Yuanyuan nodded; once Tan Shaoting succeeded, the mother and her children could start their journey.

It’s only reassuring when you’re fully armored, right?

Three days later, Tan Shaoting opened his eyes, looked at his wife beside him, and embraced her tightly. “Yuanyuan, not only has the Nascent Soul donned armor, but even my Sea of Consciousness is protected.”

This was an unexpected surprise. “Good, do you need to recover further?”

Tan Shaoting shook his head and waved, setting up a Forbidden Technique nearby, “Let your Divine Sense enter my body for a check.”

Su Yuanyuan laughed, her Divine Sense probing into the Sea of Consciousness, halted at the outside. She entered only with Tan Shaoting’s permission but quickly withdrew and went to inspect the Nascent Soul.

The chubby, miniature version of Tan Shaoting looked amusing.

The little fellow stood up as Su Yuanyuan arrived, wrapped entirely in pale blue armor, even its eyes protected.

Su Yuanyuan’s Divine Sense brushed against the Little Nascent Soul before exiting.

Tan Shaoting felt teased by his wife and instantly had an idea.

However, his wife definitely wouldn’t agree, as their two little ones were still in the space.

“Let’s all go out; we can refine the Ice Lotus as a family.”

The family gathered around as Tan Shaoting discussed the refining process of the Ice Lotus, along with the sensations and precautions.

“Be extra careful; the Golden Core is even more fragile than the Nascent Soul.”

“How about I refine it first? You stay outside, and once I’ve finished, you can start.”

“Mother, is it dangerous?”

As a mother, it’s expected to face danger first.

Qi Yan and Qi Hong both thought it was okay, and eventually, the mother and children decided to refine together.

Qi Hao and Qi Xuan were outside, both slightly nervous, aware that their elder brother and second brother had encountered Nascent Soul Cultivators as obstacles.

Though they didn’t have their sister’s status, they would certainly protect their family.

Su Yuanyuan was exceptionally smooth in refining the Ice Lotus.

In just five days, her Sea of Consciousness, Golden Core, and Dantian were protected by the Ice Lotus.

She knew she hadn’t suffered like Tan Shaoting. She commanded the Ice Lotus effortlessly.

Tan Shaoting was extremely surprised as he watched his wife open her eyes.

“Yuanyuan? You’re done.”

“Yes, and my Dantian is protected too. As more lotuses bloom, you should refine them again to protect your Dantian.”

Tan Shaoting embraced his wife. “Good.” He felt he was too inadequate; it took him so long, and in just five days, his wife was even more fully equipped than he was.

Su Yuanyuan watched the three children; their experiences were identical to Tan Shaoting’s at the time.

“You stay in the space to take care of them while I go outside.”

“I’ll go out. Don’t worry, you’re better off taking care of them.”

Su Yuanyuan thought this was fair; she was in charge here and could figure things out if problems arose.

When Tan Shaoting stepped outside, Qi Hao and Qi Xuan were startled.

“Father?”

Looking at his terrified sons, “It’s okay, it’s okay. Your mother has successfully refined; she’s looking after your siblings while I’m outside.”

“Did Mom succeed? So quickly?”

“And even her Dantian is protected.”

“Dad, how is Mom so incredible?”

“Because she’s your mother.”

The brothers laughed. “Yes, because she’s our mother.”

Father and sons stayed outside as Tan Shaoting watched his sons practice swordsmanship, occasionally offering suggestions.

Su Yuanyuan sat opposite the three children, constantly monitoring them.

Qi Wen was doing better than her brothers, possibly due to her Water Spirit Root, Ice, and Water Origin.

Qi Yan struggled the most; though the Thunder Spirit Root was formidable, the Ice Lotus dreaded it, making refining the slowest.

Qi Hong was fine; the Wood Spirit Root was best, the most gentle and balanced.

The three children experienced alternating freezing and thawing, which seemed quite challenging.

Su Yuanyuan transmitted sound to each of them, advising them to protect their Dantian.

Only after her siblings responded did Su Yuanyuan relax.

A month later, Qi Wen first opened her eyes, brimming with excitement.

Afraid of disturbing her brothers, she sat beside her mother and transmitted sound.

“Mom, I’ve protected my Dantian too.”

Su Yuanyuan smiled and nodded, “Great, go soak in the bath and get some sleep. Your second brother should also finish soon.”

“Hehe, my elder brother’s spirit root is so domineering.”

Su Yuanyuan nodded in agreement.

Qi Wen stood up to leave but was halted by Su Yuanyuan.

“Gu Ersheng, come out now.”

Soon the soul body floated out.

“Can you also refine the Ice Lotus? Does it work for you?”

“It works; this thing really should be in the Western Heaven.”

“You shouldn’t dwell on where it’s from or why it’s here right now. Seize the opportunity and refine it.”

Gu Ersheng didn’t refuse; he understood her thoughts somewhat. It was better to be cautious in the future—deal with matters before she sought revenge.

Qi Wen blissfully soaked in the bath and then snuggled into her big bed for sleep.

Su Yuanyuan had already transmitted sound to Tan Shaoting, telling him Qi Wen had successfully refined.

“Is my sister that amazing too? Dad, do you think it’s because of her spirit root?” The brothers had witnessed their father’s refining process.

“There’s definitely a connection due to Ice and Water Origin, so your mother and sister had smoother experiences.

You two must refine immediately upon forming a Golden Core.”

Qi Hao and Qi Xuan nodded. “Understood.”

Ten days later, Qi Hong also successfully refined in the space, enhancing his Dantian with armor. His security increased immensely.

Mother and son transmitted Divine Sense, and Su Yuanyuan advised him to soak in the bath.

Outside, the father and sons were glad to know Qi Hong had also refined successfully. Now, only Qi Yan hadn’t succeeded yet.

After sending her second son out, Su Yuanyuan looked worriedly at her eldest son.

His refining process was even more challenging than Tan Shaoting’s.

Five father and sons were outside. “Dad, why don’t you continue your refining?”

“It’s coming soon; I’ll wait here, and it’s not too late to refine again later. They’re almost at Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain now, and the dangers are greater here.”

Su Yuanyuan knew they were close. Judging by Qi Yan’s progress, it wouldn’t succeed for just one or two months, so she opted to leave the space herself.
