Chapter 742: Chapter 728: Breakthrough (2)_2

However, with one gulp, Baibai had already consumed over half of the wine in the cup. After swallowing the delicious grape wine, it looked utterly intoxicated. Then, opening its eyes, it said to Situ Xin, "Master, Baibai has been performing well lately, hasn’t it? Can you give me a few more cups of wine later? Don’t worry, I definitely won’t get drunk."

Situ Xin looked at Baibai’s eagerness for wine, which seemed just like that of a drunkard, but this time she didn’t reject Baibai’s request. This time, she actually had something to discuss with Baibai, or rather, she needed Baibai’s help. "Sure, you’ll definitely have a good drink today."

Before Situ Xin could finish speaking, Baibai was already so happy that it almost jumped up in joy. "However, before you drink to your heart’s content, I have something to discuss with you. I might need your help."

Baibai looked at its master’s suddenly serious face and put aside its greedy expression for wine, adopting a serious look as well. However, Baibai’s attempt at a serious expression was probably only understandable by Situ Xin. "Master, whatever it is, just tell me. As long as it’s something Baibai can do, I will do my best to help you." Baibai could sense the seriousness in its master’s heart, so it wasn’t joking around anymore.

"Previously, after my breakthrough and when the space was upgraded, an idea came to me when I woke up. But I’ve kept this idea to myself and never mentioned it because I’ve been wondering whether it’s good or not, whether it could be implemented or not." Situ Xin still hesitated whether to speak out or not.

Situ Xin hesitated, but Baibai was getting very anxious from her indecisiveness. It couldn’t help but urge her, "Oh, come on, Master, if you have something to say, just say it. You’ve spoken so much, and I haven’t gotten any useful information. Are you trying to kill me with suspense?" Baibai was so anxious that it was on the verge of directly connecting to Situ Xin’s divine sense to look into what she was about to say.

However, Baibai knew that if it did that, not only would it lose the promised wine, but it would also infuriate its master.

Situ Xin fell silent for a moment, wrestling internally with herself. She had brought up the topic on a whim, but hesitated before speaking out. Now, with determination, she closed her eyes and said, "Baibai, here’s the thing, I’m considering whether my family can cultivate with me or not. I’m unsure if it’s possible, so I wanted to ask you."

After finishing, Situ Xin blinked her sparklingly bright eyes, staring unblinkingly at Baibai, waiting for its response. Situ Xin may be Baibai’s master, but she had her reasons to seek Baibai’s opinion.

Situ Xin had a mind full of knowledge, richer even than what one could find outside. Of course, the Jade Token had information about cultivation, but the practice of cultivation had nearly vanished on Earth. Probably, only Situ Xin was cultivating on Earth, although there might be cultivators in outer space or other realms.

It was precisely because of this that the information about cultivation on the Jade Token was limited compared to the legacy knowledge in Baibai’s mind, which was much more substantial.

Baibai was a divine beast with its own legacy. It had inherited knowledge from its ancestors, which grew increasingly rich as Baibai progressed. This legacy was engraved in Baibai’s mind like an innate skill; whenever related knowledge was sought, it would automatically surface.

Therefore, when it came to matters of cultivation that Situ Xin was uncertain about, she wouldn’t consult the knowledge in her own mind’s Jade Token but would directly ask Baibai instead.

"Oh, that? It should be possible. Your family has been consuming fruits and vegetables infused with spiritual energy from the space since your childhood. Combined with the elixirs you regularly give them, you must have conditioned their bodies quite well. However, to confirm if they can cultivate, we need to test for their spiritual roots. One can only cultivate with the presence of spiritual roots," Baibai continued along the lines of Situ Xin’s question but suddenly stopped. It looked at its master Situ Xin with a puzzled expression, "But, Master, why have you suddenly thought of letting your family cultivate with you? Didn’t you disagree with this idea before?"

Baibai had a good reason to ask this question. When Situ Xin was young and began to take out fruits and vegetables from the space for her family to consume, Baibai had suggested testing their spiritual roots to see if they could cultivate with her. But Situ Xin had rejected the idea at the time.

That’s why Baibai was puzzled. So many years had passed, and its family head had suddenly remembered and even changed her mind.

"Ah, I had my reasons for not agreeing to let them cultivate with me before. At that time, I had just started to learn about cultivation and only had a superficial understanding of it. I knew that cultivation went against the natural order and I remembered you telling me about the Heavenly Tribulation, particularly during the Nascent Soul breakthrough. If one couldn’t pass the Heavenly Tribulation, I can hardly imagine the consequences. So, even though I said I disagreed, my heart was constantly wavering and hesitating," Situ Xin said and paused, looking at Baibai before continuing, "After my recent advancement, my mindset has undergone a sudden change. The moment I woke up from my unconscious state, the idea of wanting my family to cultivate with me emerged, but I immediately repressed it again."
