Spoiled by Eight Uncles (Lily)
Chapter 1512 The Unexpected Incident in the Calm

Lilly observed the shocked looks on everyone's faces and inquired, "What's wrong?"

The Elder, visibly shaken, stuttered, "Lilly... you can't eat this grass as it is..."

She looked at the grass and concurred, "You're right..."

Just as he began to relax, he witnessed her dipping the spirit grass into the clear soup on the other side.

"Vegetables are more delicious when dipped in clear soup and then in chili sauce," she explained.

The Elder was left speechless.

Soon, Fortune, Lucky, Arley, Favor, Duncan, and Asher gathered around.

Fortune swallowed and asked, "Lilly, can we eat it as it is?"

Lilly replied calmly, "Sure! I tried it, and it's a bit tough. You should blanch it a bit longer."

Upon hearing this, Lucky was left speechless.

Soon, the descendants joined the vegetable dipping team, finally realizing that this was the process for cultivating spirit grass. They all nodded in understanding.

The Elder was utterly dumbfounded.

In just five minutes, he was pleasantly surprised to replace that the spirit grass tasted remarkably good in this form. It was undeniably genuine spirit grass. Yet, all cultivation efforts seemed futile. It proved impossible to quell one's desires with spirit grass alone.

Suddenly, the Crawford Ancestor jolted awake. However, he soon realized that the witch power within him was on the rise. How could this be happening? The Elder was in shock.

On the side, Ivan was earnestly devouring his meal.

Confused, the Elder wondered if fondue made by others could cultivate spiritual force. However, Lilly's fondue definitely could, as she used a cauldron for the preparation.

Spirit grass remained true to its nature. After finishing their meal, the Elder and Fortune found themselves unable to resist further. Before returning to their rooms, they both sat cross-legged on the spot and entered a cultivation state instantly.

Lilly left, closing the door behind her as she returned to her room, where Ivan was waiting.

"I'll be your left and right protector in the future," Ivan jokingly assured. He was concerned that if Lilly remained in a state of enlightenment, Fortune and others might not be aware and could disturb her. Lilly pulled him into the room, "No need for that!"

With a wave of her hand, a formation appeared!

Lilly, pulling Ivan into the room, responded, "No need for that!" With a wave of her hand, a formation materialized, putting the room into "flight mode"-a signal for others to "do not disturb."

"Ivan, you should get busy too! I'm in a hurry and can't wait," Lilly urged, sensing a unique spiritual force in motion.

She hurriedly ran to the bed, sat cross-legged, and entered the state of enlightenment in a second.

Ivan was speechless, taken aback by her rapid enlightenment. He hadn't anticipated it happening so swiftly.

Soon, the small courtyard where the Elder resided grew quiet. Only Squeaky and Speedy roamed around, occasionally climbing trees and keeping watch at the door.

...

Lilly slipped into a deep state. Previously, she had been cultivating spirit energy, and though she didn't sense any cold, there was a subtle hint of stagnation. Presently, the sensation was incredibly smooth- warm, even.

She poured all her focus into the mesmerizing purple sphere, resembling a slowly rotating star, radiating a sense of boundlessness. Similar to Earth's rhythmic cycles of four seasons, day and night, and the pulse of life, the purple sphere, though devoid of life, mirrored this perpetual rotation, embodying an everlasting rhythm.

The circulating spirit aura coursed through Lilly's meridians and flesh, fortifying them, and she could keenly sense the transformative shift occurring within her-her physical strength was on the rise. The spirit aura, a result of the continuous transformation of the consumed spirit grass, enveloped the purple sphere, creating a dynamic force in constant motion.

In this process, she experienced an enduring warmth. She adeptly converted the spirit grass into spirit aura, allowing it to circulate, nourish her meridians and flesh, and finally converge around the captivating purple sphere.

Lisa's cultivation state mirrored Lilly's, but there was a key distinction-this marked Lisa's initiation into cultivating the rules of the Netherworld. Suddenly, something gave way, and she successfully broke through the first level. In the past, she relied on her witch bloodline to shape a body fueled by sheer force and untamed witch power.

In the Human Realm, she could cast spells, and her drawn charms were half the effect of Lilly's. However, chanting or reciting spells remained beyond her grasp. Now, everything changed as she fully activated the potential of her witch bloodline. Her eyes lit up with joy, but in this moment of triumph, a bolt of thunder inexplicably struck from the sky.

Crack!

Lisa was startled by the sound. She never anticipated the Test of Thunder that Lilly had mentioned would happen to her. Without hesitation, she rose from her seat, instinctively wanting to leave the courtyard, fearing damage to it and harm to others.

Lilly had warned that the Test of Thunder affected not just the person undergoing it but also those within its range. It would destroy anything not belonging to the one facing the trials. As Lisa rushed out of the door, the thunder had already struck.

When she looked up, she saw many huge shadows gathering in the sky. A legendary Sea-Wyvern cried out, swimming in the sky miles away, appearing somewhat irritable.

Apart from the legendary Sea-Wyvern soul shadow, there were numerous gigantic beast soul shadows that Lisa couldn't quite identify, including dragons and phoenixes. Something felt off, especially considering her status as a mere descendant of the witch clan. Despite her pure and orthodox bloodline, encountering these soul shadows during the Test of Thunder seemed inexplicable. She couldn't shake the feeling that it might be directed at Lilly.

Lisa couldn't comprehend the reason, but her thoughts seemed clouded, almost as if her mind possessed a precognitive ability confirming the Test of Thunder's focus on Lilly.

"Lilly..." Distraught, she rushed to the front yard and hastily pushed the door open.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck her.
