Chapter 57 - Su Qingyin, Earth and Wood Spirit Root
Chapter 57: Su Qingyin, Earth and Wood Spirit Root
After a while, in the end, Yu Xuelan could not absorb the four spirit clouds. White, black, and green colors appeared on her body, representing the three spirit roots of metal, water, and wood.
“It’s a pity.” Qi Ming said, “It’s only a third level three-attribute spirit root. It hasn’t reached the fourth level.”
“It’s already not bad.” Lü Qingyan and the others said, “As long as she obtains an ideal result in the next few assessments, she can at least directly become an inner sect disciple.
Qi Ming nodded and looked at the image in the vast Void Mirror above. His attention was immediately attracted, and a surprised expression could not help but appear on his face.
“Junior Brother, what’s wrong?”
Lü Qingyan sensed it and asked curiously. She followed Qi Ming’s gaze and looked at the Void Mirror. The scene that greeted her eyes shocked her again.
It was even more shocking.
“That is…”
“Four! She absorbed four spirit clouds!”
“Someone has absorbed four spirit clouds!”
“…”
They were shocked.
It was not only Qi Ming and Lü Qingyan. The inner sect elders of the other eleven peaks also saw the scene and image projected by the Void Mirror.
It was a petite girl dressed in the uniform of a maidservant. Because she had traveled a long distance in the forest, her clothes had many tears, revealing her snow-white skin. Her hair was also disheveled. If one did not look carefully, she looked quite inconspicuous and did not have much of a presence.
However, it was such a small and inconspicuous girl who had actually absorbed four spirit clouds!
One had to know, being able to absorb four spirit clouds in the Spirit Cloud Mystic Realm meant that her aptitude had surpassed Yu Xuelan’s and reached the fourth level dual-attribute spirit root.
With such potential, she already had the potential to become a legacy disciple.
“Junior Brother.” Lü Qingyan immediately said, “Hurry, use the Heaven Enlightenment Mirror Avatar to investigate the identity and background of this girl.”
“Okay.” Qi Ming nodded.
Buzz!
With the help of the Heaven Enlightenment Mirror Avatar, Qi Ming quickly learned the identity and background of this petite girl. It was very clear.
After all, she was only a mortal.
“Her name is Su Qingyin.”
Qi Ming said, “She’s just 16 years old this year. She’s the personal servant of the Ninth Princess, Yuan Feng, of the Yuan Sheng Empire which is under the jurisdiction of the Green Cloud Peak. She’s an ordinary farm girl who lived in the distant village of the Su Family.”
“Her parents are still alive.”
“It’s under the jurisdiction of the Green Cloud Peak again.”
Lü Qingyan said in surprise, “Yu Xuelan is from the Anshi Kingdom. This Su Qingyin is from the Yuan Sheng Empire. When did the Green Cloud Peak’s luck become so strong?”
“Junior Brother.” Lü Qingyan said, “Next, you have to pay more attention to Yu Xuelan and Su Qingyin.”
“Alright, Senior Sister.” Qi Ming nodded.
In the Spirit Cloud Mystic Realm.
“Four spirit clouds.”
Yu Xuelan also sensed a trace of abnormality and change. She looked into the distance and frowned slightly, “There’s really a True Dragon appearing in this Heaven Enlightenment Assembly?”
“Huff…”
Yu Xuelan took a deep breath. In the depths of her eyes, it was as if a red lotus flower phantom flashed past. She said in a low voice, “No matter what, I must join the Heaven Enlightenment Sect.”
Yu Xuelan was the Blood Lotus Demoness. With Fairy Feng Xi’s help, she destroyed her foundation and used the ninth-grade Heaven and Earth Red Lotus to reconstruct her body and foundation.
Moreover, with the help of the Myriad Demon Cave, she had infiltrated the Anshi Kingdom’s Duke Yu’s Residence and become his daughter. Now that the family was completely destroyed, her identity could not be questioned.
The Blood Lotus Demoness had completely abandoned her past identity. She was no longer the Blood Lotus Demoness, but the daughter of the Anshi Kingdom’s Duke Yu. Her background was innocent.
Buzz!
Immediately after, Yu Xuelan obtained information regarding the second assessment through the Heaven Enlightenment Seal. The second assessment would be carried out in the second mystic realm, the Spirit Enlightenment Mystic Realm.
Of course, all the participants had to head to the Spirit Enlightenment Mystic Realm on their own according to the information in the Heaven Enlightenment Seal. It was unknown what kind of danger they would encounter on the way.
They might die.
However, they might also obtain some opportunities.
In addition, the Spirit Enlightenment Mystic Realm was mainly used to test their physique.
“Let’s go.”
Buzz!
With a thought, Yu Xuelan teleported out of the Spirit Cloud Mystic Realm through the Heaven Enlightenment Seal. After confirming the direction, she used her movement technique to leave.
At this moment, in the Spirit Cloud Mystic Realm, Su Qingyin was surrounded by many participants.
They clearly saw that Su Qingyin had absorbed a total of four spirit clouds and were extremely shocked. Those participants who could not even absorb one spirit cloud meant that they did not have any spirit root and were not fated to cultivate.
“Qing… Qingyin, you… you…”
Yuan Feng covered her red lips with her hand, and her expression was filled with disbelief and shock. Her beautiful eyes flickered with light. Her clothes were gorgeous, and her appearance was even more extraordinary.
It could be said that Su Qingyin used to stand beside Yuan Feng as a maid.
However, now, it was completely different.
Su Qingyin had absorbed four spirit clouds. The spiritual qi around her body shook, and two types of light appeared. They were the black and green types, representing the dual earth and wood spirit root, reaching the fourth level.
It attracted the attention of many people.
She had already become the center of attention.
“Your… Your Highness, I… I…”
Su Qingyin was also very stunned. She did not know why it was like this at all. She was only a servant girl who had accompanied the Princess and was supposed to sacrifice herself in times of danger.
However, she revealed a talent that no one expected.
Dual-attribute earth and wood spirit roots.
Fourth level spirit root talent.
She could be called a legacy seed.
On the other hand, Yuan Feng only had a four-attribute spirit root of metal, wood, water, and earth, and was only a second level spirit root talent. Standing beside Su Qingyin, the glow of her spirit root was so unbearable.
There was no comparison at all.
“Qingyin.” Yuan Feng calmed down. Although she was envious and even a little jealous, she did not lose her rationality because of this. Instead, she smiled gently at Su Qingyin and said, “You entered the palace when you were five and grew up with me. Although you’re my maidservant, I’ve always treated you as my younger sister.”
“I really didn’t expect you to be so talented. As your elder sister, I’m really happy for you. Congratulations, Qingyin.”
“Your… Your Highness, I… I…”
Su Qingyin stuttered. She seemed to be at a loss for what to do, and her petite oval face was filled with an expression of not knowing what to do.
She had never experienced such a situation.
“Qingyin.” Yuan Feng said, “Don’t call me Princess anymore. Are you unwilling to acknowledge me as your elder sister? I’m no longer a princess. I’m only a participant in the Heaven Enlightenment Assembly. I’m the same as you.”
“You can call me Yuan Feng or Sister Yuan.”
“Sister… Sister Yuan.” Su Qingyin said weakly.
“Okay.” Yuan Feng smiled and said, “I’ve wanted to acknowledge you as my younger sister for a long time. It’s just that I never had the chance.”
“Sister Qingyin.” Yuan Feng continued, “Our current situation is not good. Your talent is very high, and you’ve already aroused the hatred of those participants who failed the Spirit Cloud Mystic Realm test.”
“These participants do not have spirit roots at all. They will never be able to cultivate in their lives. In a hundred years, they will turn into dust.”
“But now…”
“Among these eliminated participants, there will definitely be many who will hate you out of envy. They might even ambush and kill you. Among these people, there are many martial artists.”
“They are very dangerous.”
“But it’s fine. I’ll definitely protect you.”
“Sister Yuan, I… It’s all my fault…” Su Qingyin lowered her head slightly.
Swish!
Suddenly, in the crowd, a figure waved his right hand and a hidden weapon dart flew out. It was extremely fast and aimed at Su Qingyin’s head.
“Be careful.”
Clang!
Yuan Feng’s pupils were constricted. With a wave of her right hand, a dart flew out as well and blocked the other party’s dart.
“Who?”
“How dare you attack Her Highness.”
“You’re courting death!”
There were also young guards who followed Yuan Feng over. There were not many, only three, but every one of them was at the perfected Postnatal realm, only a step away from the Connate realm.
They were only the lowest-grade spirit root talents.
“Attack!”
“Die.”
“How dare you have such high talent?”
“Kill her!”
“…”
Many participants exploded. There were many of them, and at least a few dozen of them surrounded Su Qingyin, Yuan Feng, and the others.
Yuan Feng and the others had underestimated the jealousy and hatred of these participants.
In the absence of rules, they revealed their ferocious faces and fangs.
“Run!”
Yuan Feng grabbed Su Qingyin’s hand.
“!!!”
Su Qingyin gritted her teeth and fled.
With the help of the three guards, they safely rushed out of the encirclement.
“Ah!!!”
However, the three guards were heavily injured under the siege of these participants, and they let out miserable screams. However, many of the participants were directly chopped to death by the three guards.
“Hurry.” Yuan Feng shouted, “We’ll leave the Spirit Cloud Mystic Realm immediately.”
“Yes, okay.” Su Qingyin nodded quickly.
Buzz! Buzz!
They quickly communicated with the Heaven Enlightenment Seal. White light flashed on their bodies, and they were already sent out of the Spirit Cloud Mystic Realm. After returning to the outside, they quickly ran towards the second mystic realm, the Spirit Enlightenment Mystic Realm, according to the information they obtained.
“Her performance was not bad.” Lu Qingyan nodded and stared at Su Qingyin and Yuan Feng in the image. She said, “If they can support each other and walk down this path, their future is promising.”
“This Su Qingyin is indeed a true legacy disciple seed.”
Qi Ming said, “At the beginning, she was a little unaccustomed to sudden situations, but she quickly calmed down. Her reaction was indeed not bad. We can give her some preferential treatment.”
“Also, there’s that Yu Xuelan.” Tan Chengling said, “For now, only these two are worth mentioning.”
