"Spirit stones?!!!"
"Ushhh…!" Luna gestured him to lower his voice.
"Three spirit stones! Where did you get them?" Henry asked in a surprised tone.
Luna smiled before replying, "During our marriage, your grandfather, the old patriarch, gave me 30 spirit stones as a betrothal gift. My family took all of them. But my mother gave back these three for me and asked me to use them in case of any life-and-death situation."
"Then why are you giving them away for me now?" Henry asked.
"After seeing how everyone treated you… how helpless we are… I couldn't stand watching you in such a state. You are my husband… you should live more proudly. At first, I thought you would leave me after getting back your cultivation. But after seeing how you care about me… I couldn't stop myself," Luna replied with red eyes.
Henry felt warm inside his heart. He stared at her face emotionally.
"Luna… thank you," he said in a heavy tone.
Luna shook her head. "Please become strong again. I don't want you to suffer anymore. I want my husband to be a proud man."
Henry nodded his head firmly. "I won't let you down. I promise." He accepted the three spirit stones with serious determination.

After firmly locking the door, Henry sat cross-legged on the wooden floor. Luna stood outside guarding the door.
Henry closed his eyes and began remembering the scripture containing the 'DIVINE Sword Transformation of the Golden Body' Scripture.
It is the only divine scripture that can heal the spinal tree. He sent his consciousness deep into his body and froze at what he saw at the first glance.
Inside, every wizard has a spinal tree connected to the dantian, which is the foundation for storing the aura.
Henry's was in a pathetic state… the dantian was withered and cracked in many places… the spinal tree, which extended from base to the head, was dried out and lifeless.
The nine chakras, which were connected on the spinal tree, were disconnected.
"This poor boy… really suffered because of cultivation deterioration. I really wonder if these three pure spirit stones will be enough to heal this spinal tree?!"
Finally, Henry determined to rebuild his spinal tree.
"Today, I must revive you. The Golden Body Scripture can regenerate a shattered spinal tree. This withered spinal tree is not a big issue."
He focused and began controlling all the 64 meridians of the body.
According to the Divine Sword Transformation of the Golden Body, he closed the 31 outer meridians and opened the 33 primal meridians.
According to the Golden Body Scripture, he created the perfect path for the aura flow which would stimulate the revival of the spinal tree.
When everything was finally prepared, Henry opened his eyes and took a long look at the three moon-coloured spirit stones in his hand.
"I think these three first-class spirit stones will be enough. It's time…"
As he focused, the spirit stones burst out and aura flowed like a flood dragon.
The pure aura slammed into his meridians.
"Ughhh…!!!"
Beast-like pain flowed through Henry's body like molten metal flowing through fragile glass tubes. He gritted his teeth and endured the pain.
The aura finally reached the dantian base. The blue-coloured aura changed into golden colour and began healing the cracks on the dantian.
At first… nothing.
But then… slowly… the surface began healing in no time.
"Holy heavens… hahahaha…"
Henry controlled his flow and focused on changing the path of the aura along the spinal tree from the dantian. From the base of the stomach, it flowed along the spine.
"BOOM…"
The first chakra ignited… and then the second… and then the third…
Time passed slowly as the aura began sealing the cracks, burning the impurities, repairing the dead tissues, and interconnecting the chakras.
A small spark of golden light flashed from the base of the dantian to the final ninth chakra in the head.
Warm aura floated like a gentle spring and the skin of Henry shined with liveliness.
Henry's body glowed faintly in golden colour inside that dimly lit room. Soon the golden glow faded.
The three first-class spirit stones in Henry's palm also vaporised completely.
Finally, at the end, Henry was left with 'first-class disciple magus' cultivation.
"Hmmhhh… the three spirit stones were mostly used for reviving my spinal tree. Now I need to find more spirit stones to reach my previous cultivation stage. Anyway, now I am a wizard again."
Henry spoke to himself as he opened his eyes with great satisfaction.
But soon, a dirty smell filled his nose as his body was covered with greasy dark impurities.
"Not bad… most of my impurities were cleaned out in one go." Henry muttered as he stood up.
Before taking a bath, he opened the room door and invited Luna inside.
"Husband, what happened? Did something go wrong?" Luna asked with a worried face as she felt terrified by the smell and the sight of dark impurities over Henry's body.
"Don't worry… everything went well. These are all the impurities inside my body. I am a wizard again," Henry replied with a smile.
"What???!!! So fast!" Luna couldn't believe it as Henry took only one hour.
"Won't you believe me?" Henry snapped his fingers and a candle-like fire appeared at the edge of his finger.
"Wahhh…!!!" Luna's mouth went wide in surprise.
She almost took a step forward to hug him in happiness, but stopped suddenly.
"First, let me prepare the hot water for you. I can't stand watching you like this," Luna said as she moved toward the big wooden barrel in the corner.
Soon she prepared the hot water from the flowing stream connected to the backyard of the house and invited Henry.
Happiness was apparent on her face as a smile played on her lips constantly. Wearing a long bath towel, Henry directly jumped into the wooden barrel like a kid.
While both husband and wife were enjoying their fun time, the son of the Clark family patriarch… Philip… received the news about Henry walking again.
"What did you say?" Philip almost fell down from the chair after hearing the news from the spell master Jin.
