After punishing Leyvi, Anda came to Tasya and helped her sit properly. She took out a middle-grade Minor Healing Elixir and fed it to Tasya.
A Minor Healing Elixir can heal the internal injuries of a Qi Refinement realm and Foundation Building cultivator. A normal human like Tasya consuming it would be akin to feeding her a heavenly treasure.
The gashed skin on the foreheads quickly healed. Tal noticed that even old scars on her face also quickly disappeared and her complexions looked healthier. Her chapped lips were gone and her oily hair became luster.
"Now try standing up," said Anda as she stood first.
As soon as Tasya heard the instruction from Anda, her heart instantly beat faster. Her eyes teared up again. Stand up? Is it possible? Can I actually stand up?
She tried to feel her legs first without looking at it. She was afraid to look at her legs. When she touched her legs, her tears dropped.
"Tal! I can feel my legs!" She immediately turned to Tal.
Tal without delay stood up and got beside Tasya to help her. "Tasya, quick, stand up now!" He was excited too. Healing Tasya has been his wish since that incident.
With the help of Tal, Tasya slowly stood up. There was no discomfort and no pain. Next, she let go of Tal and tried to walk. After not walking for so long, her walking movements were a bit awkward but nevertheless, she was finally healed! She can walk again!
During the disaster, Tasya's legs were seriously injured by the collapsed house. It severed the nerve of her legs. Because the nerve was severed, she could no longer feel or move her legs. Thanks to the Minor Healing Elixir, it reconnected and healed the damaged nerve along with other injuries.
"Tal!" She went to Tal and hugged him tightly. For two years, she had been hugging Tal from the back but this time, for the first time, she could hug Tal while facing him.
After a while, she turned back and dropped to her knees. She touches the feet of Anda and wholeheartedly thanks her for the miracle gifted to her. Tal also came and did the same thanking Anda on Tasya's behalf.
Anda just let them express their gratitude. She then glanced at Leyvi and signaled to him using her eye motions. 'Leyvi, it's your turn!'
Leyvi stepped forward and looked at the kids. When they were walking around the town during the day, they spotted Tal who was carrying Tasya on his back. He didn't think much at the time but Anda suddenly told him that the boy who carried the girl had a similar scent as him.
Leyvi was confused. He and the boy have the same scent? Why can't he smell it? Now that he thinks of it why can Anda always smell strange things? Is it related to the Heavenly Fragrant Harmony Body?
Anda then explained that it's not the bodily scent, but the mentality. The mentality has the same scent! How does this work? How do you smell mentality? Leyvi couldn't understand. Lilian was the same, she was confused by this explanation.
At that moment, they decided to follow the kids and they arrived at the Chess Club. Leyvi knew how to play chess but he wasn't really interested in it. He can see that the boy enjoyed the game very much. When he looked at the boy, he asked himself, does he have something he enjoyed to do like this? He can't think of any.
Leyvi still didn't understand why they had the same 'scent'. Leyvi and Anda wanted to continue following the kids, so they told Lilian to wait in the inn first. When the kids were returning home, he could hear what the girl silently said and he could also see his determination to never abandon her.
Is this it? Is this what made them have a similar scent? Leyvi looked at Anda and noticed that she was smiling. He would test them later.

Leyvi returned from his flashback and took out an aptitude-testing artifact. He needed to test their aptitude first.
"Put your hand on this thing," Leyvi instructed Tal and Tasya who were still on the floor.
Tal stood up and put his hand on the aptitude-testing artifact without hesitation. A few moments later, no reaction came from the artifact.
Leyvi then moved his hand and gestured for Tasya to put her hand on the artifact. She put her hand on the artifact and a few moments later there was again, still no reaction. Leyvi shook his head. Both of them have no spirit roots. They could not cultivate.
When Tal and Tasya saw Leyvi shook his head. They were disappointed. They knew they were being tested and failed.
Suddenly something came to his mind.
The mysterious peach!
After he ate the peach and raised the grade of his spirit root, at some point, he made a conjecture that the peach not only raised the grade of spirit roots but also gave spirit roots to normal people. Therefore, he had been wanting to test it. And right now, it is the best time to test it.
Leyvi took out two bright pink-colored peaches and gave them to the kids.
"These are the Immortal Peaches. Eat them and see if you have fate with cultivation! It was destiny that we were able to meet, so I'm giving you two a chance to overturn your mortal fate!" Leyvi gave the peach a fake name and tried to act mysterious in front of the kids by spouting nonsense. Anda rolled her eyes. Her husband was so childish.
While Leyvi was just joking around, Tal and Tasya on the other hand took it very seriously. They were praying very seriously about changing the fate in their heart. They looked at each other and then ate the peaches.
A few moments later, they started to shiver and their eyes were bloodshot. Leyvi was excited. It happened! It was the same reaction as when he ate the peach. He immediately enveloped both of them with his spiritual sense to protect them and at the same time observe their change.
Both of them soon fainted. Leyvi could feel that something formed inside them and it started to attract spiritual energy into their body.
Spirit roots! Spirit roots were formed by the mysterious peaches! What kind of peaches are these really? Leyvi and Anda were shocked by the scene in front of them. It was a life-changing event that was told in legends.
As soon as they started to absorb spiritual energy unconsciously, their body underwent a huge transformation. Their skins dropped and were replaced by new ones, bad bloods and sweat were forced out of their body from the pores as well as smelly dark substances. The smelly stuff was the impurities expelled from their body.
Half an hour later the transformation process stopped. Leyvi helped them clean up all the mess in the room using a basic qi cleaning spell.
"How many peaches are still in your possession?" Anda asked Leyvi while they waited for the kid to wake up.
"I still have more than a hundred..." Leyvi couldn't believe he still had that much.
"That many???" Anda was shocked. Each peach was a fate-altering treasure and her husband still had that many.
What does this mean? This means that Leyvi could decide more than a hundred people's fate. Furthermore, her husband also has that talent bead.
She was a bit annoyed. Her husband should have been the one to receive all of the talents and become a peerless existence instantly. Why does he need to give them to other people? She knew firsthand how heaven-defying both talents she received.
"I want my toy." Leyvi summoned the menu. It's been a while since he saw this screen.

"It's about time to give the talent. It has been 2 years," Leyvi said to himself.
"Leyvi, what talent are you going to give to Tasya?" Anda knew Chess talent would be given to Tal so she only asked about Tasya.
"I'll give her cooking talent. We need to eat delicious foods during our journey. Hahaha!" Leyvi laughed. Anda agreed. She wanted delicious food too.
"Toy spirit! Give Chess talent to Tal and Cooking talent to Tasya!" He said without hesitation.

"Anda, I got a benefit called Dual Mind. Do you have any idea what this is?" Leyvi asked for his wife's opinion.
"How am I supposed to know? You are the one who got it. Is there no mysterious voice or something?" Anda remembered when she got her talents, a mysterious voice seemed to guide her about her abilities.
"Wait! I think I got it now! Hahaha!" When Anda was talking, he spread his spiritual sense and found out that he could maintain the spiritual sense with one mind. He could also control his body and think like normal with the other mind at the same time.
This means that he could use his spiritual sense all the time! Even when sleeping. He would be able to be on guard all the time! All hail a safer life!
