"Old man," she asked, "if a genius were to suddenly break through from the Qi Refining realm directly to the Nascent Soul realm in a single enlightenment, would the higher-ups pay special attention?"
Since her original self didn't pay much attention to such information and didn't have a phone, making it inconvenient to search online, Ding Yun decided to ask her husband directly. This old man was quite interested in news about fortuitous encounters.
Guo Jing didn't notice Ding Yun's earlier absentmindedness. Hearing her question, although he felt it was completely unrelated to what he had just said, he pondered for a moment and replied:
"They would definitely pay special attention.
Not only would they pay special attention, they might even try to capture the person and interrogate them. After all, it's said that normal enlightenment can only break through one major realm at most.
The kind you're talking about, unless it's an old monster at the Deity Transformation or higher realm possessing someone, it's likely they obtained some top-tier treasure or received a cultivation infusion from some ancient cultivator.
In short, it definitely wouldn't be normal enlightenment.
After all, the higher-ups have said that the current spiritual energy concentration is not enough to support ordinary cultivators from skipping several levels in one go. Even if their cultivation reaches the point of breakthrough, they can't advance without enough spiritual energy. Why would you suddenly have this thought?
Our aptitude doesn't offer any hope of enlightenment.
Stop dreaming..."
Good heavens, after hearing him say this, enlightenment, one of the two methods, was clearly out.
This left only one path to quickly help her grandson recover and break through to the Foundation Establishment realm in a justifiable manner: admitting to her family that she had awakened her past life memories and reclaimed her past life inheritance.
Moreover, choosing this method had its advantages. At least she wouldn't have to continue pretending to be the original self's personality, avoiding exposure, and she wouldn't have to be too intimate with the old man, acting like a real couple.
"Oh, I understand...
Let's stop chatting idly. Let's go back quickly. I have something serious to tell you when we get back, something about whether our grandson can recover! Come on, let's go back, don't delay!"
Since she had already chosen between the two methods, Ding Yun was too lazy to continue dawdling home with the old man. She grabbed him and used the original self's practiced "Light Air Roaming Steps," rushing back quickly.
Guo Jing, to avoid being dragged along by his wife.
Had no choice but to hurry to keep up.
He followed with the same footwork.
After returning home, closing the door, and activating the soundproof barrier in the living room, Ding Yun said with a rather serious expression:
"I've awakened my past life memories!"
"What?"
Guo Jing was stunned for a moment. Awakening past life memories, what kind of absurdity was this? Could such a rare thing happen in their family? Moreover, generally speaking, weren't those who awakened past life memories geniuses? With his wife's aptitude, having cultivated for over thirty years to reach the seventh level of Qi Refining, if she could awaken past life memories, wouldn't that be a bit too outrageous?
Furthermore, the officially disclosed data indicated that only rogue cultivators at the Loose Immortal level had a chance of awakening past life memories at the Golden Core realm. To awaken past life memories at the Qi Refining realm, one's previous life must have been at least a Golden Immortal.
Otherwise, they must have had some fortuitous encounter in their previous life.
Something that could be carried over to this life.
"What 'what'? I'm not lying to you. I've truly awakened my past life memories. Otherwise, do you think I would have so easily recalled those details I couldn't remember before?
And would I have so easily let go of my grievances?
If I didn't already have a way to help our grandson recover his damaged foundation and break through, would I have been able to let go so easily?
Earlier, when I was alone in the room, due to guilt, anger, and other reasons, I accidentally went into a state of qi deviation. At that time, I thought it was over for me.
But then I woke up again, and after waking up, I found more memories in my mind, as well as a portable space. That's why I said I awakened my past life memories!
However, it wasn't a complete awakening. I only know that my cultivation in my past life should have been quite good, and I was a master craftsman and an alchemy master. I remembered a lot of cultivation knowledge, but other things I don't remember very clearly."
In order to continue interacting normally and to have a reasonable explanation for producing elixirs or mechas later on, Ding Yun had selectively explained the direction of her awakening. This would make it more convenient for her to produce things later, wouldn't it?
Guo Jing was still somewhat bewildered. He thought for a good while before reacting: "So you're serious?
That's right, those with powerful souls can indeed recall forgotten details. So, you asked me about the treatment of someone enlightened from Qi Refining to a Nascent Soul cultivator earlier to test me? And if I hadn't answered that way, you wouldn't have told me about awakening past life memories, but instead claimed you achieved enlightenment to raise your cultivation or something?
Then... are you still you?"
"If I'm not me, then who am I? I just didn't want you to overthink things, so I didn't tell you directly. Don't worry, I'm still me, just with some past life memories.
However, to be honest, it feels a bit strange now.
In my past life, I didn't seem to have a partner. Suddenly waking up with children, a daughter-in-law, a grandson, and a husband is indeed a bit awkward. Also, my personality might be affected, after all, as the saying goes, money emboldens cowards.
Although I don't have much money now, I left quite a few good things in my past life. Many of these things can be used by the whole family. Oh, forget it, let's not talk about these things.
Let's discuss how to help our grandson recover."
Ding Yun didn't make any absolute statements but instead gave her husband a heads-up. Then, she took out more than a dozen bottles of various colored healing elixirs from her soul space, intending to discuss with Guo Jing which one was suitable for their grandson.
Although Guo Jing hadn't fully accepted the reality, their grandson's injuries were indeed more important, so he quickly sat down and listened to Ding Yun explain the specific effects of each healing elixir. Then, he compared it with his understanding of their grandson's injuries and discussed it dialectically.
After discussing for nearly half an hour, they finally decided to first use the Body Sculpting and Rebirth Pill to help him recover his foundation and improve his aptitude, then use the Rejuvenation Pill to help him heal his injuries, and finally take some pills like the Marrow Cleansing and Meridian Washing Pill, Body Cleansing Pill, Qi and Blood Pill, and Yuan Cultivating Pill.
He should be able to quickly recover his cultivation to the twelfth level of Qi Refining and once again attempt to break through to Foundation Establishment.
And they wouldn't need to take a Foundation Establishment Pill.
They would try to break through.
After all, taking a Foundation Establishment Pill to break through was essentially a shortcut for those whose accumulation was insufficient, wanting to break through to Foundation Establishment earlier. Their family had previously lacked the funds to buy various high-quality spiritual pills and medicines to build up their foundation, and they were in a hurry to break through.
This was why they had no choice but to purchase the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Now that Ding Yun was here, would they lack pills to build up their foundation? They could easily accumulate their foundation and achieve a normal breakthrough to Foundation Establishment without relying on a Foundation Establishment Pill.
