However, after learning about the conflict between Henry Spencer and Tommy Spencer this morning, Mr. Spencer was first secretly surprised, then his brows furrowed tightly.

  “Paying off the debt within half a month is just too difficult…”

  Mr. Spencer sighed with a worried and distressed face.

  “Father, don’t worry. I will definitely find a way to pay off the debt within half a month.”

  Henry Spencer declared with firm conviction.

  But as for his words, both Mr. Spencer and Mrs. Spencer were skeptical and didn’t take them to heart.

  During dinner, Helen served Mr. Spencer a cup of tea and massaged his back.

  “Father, I have a question.”

  Henry Spencer suddenly spoke.

  “Go ahead.” Mr. Spencer replied calmly.

  “I want to know, during the Body Refining stage… is there a tenth level?”

  Henry Spencer asked cautiously.

  “Ten levels of Body Refining, never give up.”

  The voice that was deeply imprinted in the youth’s memory from his previous life was also indelible in Henry Spencer’s heart.

  The reason for asking his father this question was because Mr. Spencer had once been a standout in the village, his achievements even surpassing David Spencer. It was only due to an accident that he became disabled and fell to his current state.

  In terms of vision, Henry Spencer believed his father definitely surpassed the average body refining practitioners in the village.

  “Ten levels of Body Refining?” Mr. Spencer raised his brows, a sudden cold light flashing in his eyes, his tone sharp and pressing: “Who told you that?”

  Crash!

  The teacup in Mr. Spencer’s hand was slammed to the ground, instantly shattering, tea splashing everywhere.

  Suddenly, a stifling atmosphere filled the room, and an inexplicable anger surged on Mr. Spencer’s face.

  Henry Spencer didn’t dare meet his father’s eyes, realizing that perhaps his question was a bit foolish.

  “There are only nine levels of Qi Refining. Even Helen knows this kind of common knowledge. Did you waste your years at the village school? If you dare to bring up such a stupid question again, see if I don’t break your legs.”

  Mr. Spencer scolded harshly.

  Only nine levels of Body Refining?

  Henry Spencer’s mind was shaken, his thoughts unsettled.

  He had obtained memories from his previous life, merged with the emotions and experiences of the youth he once was, and yearned for the legendary tenth level of Body Refining.

  As for whether the tenth level of Body Refining truly existed, Henry Spencer was not sure.

  Because he only had partial memories from before the age of sixteen in his previous life.

  Even the “Dragon Snake Nine Transformations” had only nine layers, corresponding to the nine levels of Body Refining.

  And now, from his father, he learned that there was no such thing as a tenth level of Body Refining in this world.

  Could it be that his past life memories were wrong!

  In the end, who was right and who was wrong?

  Henry Spencer’s heart was heavy.

Chapter 007: Breaking Through to the Second Level

  Under his father’s rage, Henry Spencer didn’t dare talk back or ask further.

  As for whether “the tenth level of Body Refining” existed, Henry Spencer decided not to pursue it for now, since it was still a rather distant matter.

  What was truly urgent was the family’s current predicament—paying off the debt within half a month was a matter of utmost urgency.

  Moreover, Henry Spencer had to improve his strength in a short time, so that he could have a foothold in the village.

  Although in the morning, he had temporarily intimidated Tommy Spencer with his aura, Henry Spencer knew very well that in terms of real strength, Tommy Spencer had already stepped into the second level of Body Refining and was naturally fierce and skilled at fighting.

  Without real strength, he would never be able to change his fate of being bullied.

  After dinner.

  Mr. Spencer made a decision: “Tomorrow, I will go to the ‘Great Yang Family’ spiritual fields to harvest spirit grain. I won’t be back for at least ten days.”

  “The Great Yang Family?”

  Upon hearing this, Henry Spencer’s expression changed: “I heard the Great Yang Family treats farm workers the harshest, with an astonishing workload every day. Workers often faint…”

  In the area around Yangmu Village, there were a few spiritual fields, mostly planted with inferior spirit grain.

  These spirit grain crops had tough roots that burrowed deep into the soil, making them very difficult to harvest.

  As for these spirit grains, even the inferior ones, ordinary people could only taste them occasionally. Only the wealthy and high-status cultivators could afford to eat them every day.

  “You don’t need to worry. I was once a mid-level practitioner at the fourth or fifth level of Body Refining.”

  The decision made by Mr. Spencer could not be overturned by anyone else in the family.

  In fact, Mr. Spencer didn’t even stay at home that night, but rushed overnight to the The Spencer Family’s work site. Even arriving half a day early meant he could start work sooner and earn more spirit coins.

  Currently, more than half of the family’s income came from Mr. Spencer. Next was Mrs. Spencer and Helen Spencer weaving magical garments, but their progress was slow, often taking half a month to finish even a semi-finished product.

  The only one without any income was Henry Spencer, who had just recovered from his injuries.

  Thinking of this, Henry Spencer clenched his fists tightly, a glint flashing in his eyes.

  He closed his eyes, letting his mind merge into the bright star in his sea of consciousness, sifting through the vast trove of memories.

  The memories from his previous life up to age sixteen, even if only partial, were several times more than what Henry Spencer had in this life.

  In his previous life, he was incredibly gifted, with a photographic memory, and had entered the “Immortal Sect” that ordinary practitioners could only dream of while still in his teens.

  In the Immortal Sect, the former Henry Spencer, besides cultivating the family’s “Dragon Snake Nine Transformations,” had also studied many other fields of knowledge.

  Very soon, within that mass of memories, Henry Spencer found a jade slip of the “Spiritual Flora Compendium.”

  This jade slip contained illustrations and information on many spiritual flowers and plants in the world.

  There were quite a few such jade slips recording cultivation knowledge in his memories from before age sixteen in his previous life.
