Initially, Lucian had 10 low-grade spirit stones.
He used 8 of them to advance to the Blood Purification stage, but when attempted to break through the next stage with one, he didn't succeed. So he could only stop his attempts, for now.
The assassin also had 3 low-grade spirit stones, which Lucian claimed after killing him, bringing his current counts to 4.
Ever since they departed from the capital city, he had been teaching Isabella and Celine everything he understood about Cultivation so far. He even gave each of them a low-grade spirit stone.
Isabella also had a Purple Innate Fate related to her physique, but unlike Celine, hers wasn't in a dormant state.
So Lucian didn't think she couldn't handle the energy from the stone. And he was right.
...
Seeing Isabella now cultivating, Lucian turned to face his mother, Celine, whose face was flushed with a mixture of lust and trepidation.
