Join the ServerElder Wang immediately glared. “What do you mean ‘grabbed’? That Yun Conghe… fellow… was so impressed by me that he gave it to me as a gift!”
Nangong Hehe couldn’t help shrinking her neck, but she was still muttering under her breath.
“The elder from the Flying Immortal Pavilion is still outside cursing you out. How could he have been impressed by you?”
“Say that again, and I’ll slap you!” Elder Wang’s gaze swept over the unrelated people, taking out his anger on them one by one. “And you lot, instead of cultivating every day, what are you doing crowding around here? Go on, get out!”
Nangong Hehe and the others immediately turned tail and ran far away.
Song Zhiyou: “…”
Great. She had praised him too soon. She had boarded a pirate ship.
Song Qingyao felt as if the technique jade slip in her hand had suddenly become a hot potato.
She almost didn’t know whether it was better to accept it or return it.
Seeing Song Qingyao’s hesitation, Elder Wang’s expression softened.
“I give it to you, so you keep it. I’m on good terms with that elder of the Flying Immortal Pavilion; it was just a sparring match. Don’t worry.”
Song Qingyao had her doubts.
“Thank you, Elder! You’re the best elder in the world!” Song Zhiyou quickly helped Song Qingyao put away the technique jade slip and gave her several meaningful glances.
Song Qingyao understood immediately.
It was acceptable to keep it.
She then repeatedly thanked Elder Wang, praising him until his usually furrowed brow relaxed.
Elder Wang laughed heartily and waved his hand.
“It’s nothing, just some cultivation techniques. By the way, before you start cultivating, come with me to retest your spiritual roots.”
Elder Wei snorted coldly. “Exactly, little girl. It’s just a technique. No need to dwell on it.”
He took out two storage pouches and handed them to Song Qingyao.
“These are what I promised you earlier. Once you enter the Xuantian Sect, you’ll receive even more resources. Just cultivate and grow into towering trees.”
Testing spiritual roots required a special artifact, which was only available at the Fengling Daoist Field connected to it.
The two elders led the three to the Fengling Daoist Field.
Unlike the bustling scene during the test, the field now had only a few scattered people.
Song Qingyao took a deep breath and placed her palm on the testing stele.
In an instant, an ice-blue pillar of light shot into the sky, illuminating the already dim sky completely.
Countless nearby cultivators couldn’t help looking up toward the center of the Fengling Daoist Field.
They didn’t know what had happened, but when they saw that pillar of light, they knew another peerless genius had appeared.
Countless people converged toward the center of the Fengling Daoist Field, but were held back by the overwhelmingly powerful pressure, not daring to approach.
Elder Wang stared blankly at the soaring pillar of light. After a long time, he murmured.
“Top-grade… mutated ice spiritual root!”
Song Zhiyou’s Second Uncle stood frozen in place, lost in thought for a long time.
Only at this moment did he fully realize that the path Song Zhiyou had set for Song Qingyao was a path to the heavens.
Snapping back to reality, the two elders burst into laughter.
Even the stern Elder Wang couldn’t suppress the smile at the corner of his mouth.
Picking up two top-grade spiritual roots in one go was something rarely seen even in normal assessments.
“Excellent, excellent!” Elder Wang exclaimed repeatedly, unable to resist patting Song Qingyao on the shoulder. The loving look in his eyes was something the many disciples of the Xuantian Sect had never seen before.
Just then, the two elders seemed to sense something, and their expressions turned serious.
“Quick, let’s go!”
“I’ll hold them off. Old Wei, take the two children and leave!”
Seeing the elders’ grave expressions, Song Zhiyou became alert.
What could make even these two elders so wary? Had the evil cultivators attacked again?
But that shouldn’t be possible!
Just as Song Zhiyou was thinking this, she saw the elders recruiting for other sects flying toward them.
They were so fast that Song Zhiyou had only seen such speed when Elder Wei had saved her life.
What was so urgent?
Oh, it was about her little Seventh.
Before Song Zhiyou could finish the thought, someone grabbed her by the collar.
At the same time, Song Xiaoqi was also lifted.
Elder Wei didn’t hesitate at all. Picking them up, he turned and ran.
By the time Song Zhiyou’s vision blurred and she came to her senses, she was already far from the center of the field.
It wasn’t until they were safely back in the inn that Elder Wei let out a long sigh of relief.
He set Song Zhiyou and Song Qingyao down.
The next second, the two of them started retching in turns.
Elder Wei coughed. “You two, rest well. There’s no rush to cultivate.”
“Remember,” his face turned serious, “if anyone comes to bother you, don’t open the door under any circumstances. Just activate this token and leave it to me.”
With that, Elder Wei grabbed a handful of tokens and stuffed them into their hands.
Then, stroking his beard, he left in peace.
Even after he had walked far away, Song Zhiyou could still occasionally hear Elder Wei’s hearty laughter.
“Song Xiao Liu, here.”
Song Qingyao’s voice came, and at the same time, Song Zhiyou’s hand suddenly felt heavy.
Song Zhiyou turned around and saw that Song Qingyao had handed her the two storage pouches Elder Wei had given her earlier.
Song Zhiyou was puzzled. “These…”
Song Qingyao said awkwardly, “Keep them for me. You used up a lot of artifacts and spirit stones earlier. Use these to replenish.”
Song Zhiyou suddenly felt that the two lists she had written earlier were truly too much.
She patted Song Qingyao’s hand and returned one storage pouch to her.
“Silly Xiao Qi, this one contains the sect’s cultivation supplies, including the sect uniform, token, and such. Keep it safe. Just give me this pouch of spirit stones.”
Saying this, Song Zhiyou eagerly opened the storage pouch.
She had asked for twenty thousand spirit stones. She wondered what grade this pouch was, to hold twenty thousand…
Opening it, Song Zhiyou couldn’t help gasping.
The pouch was still the same small pouch.
Items with spatial attributes seemed to be a scarce resource in this world, and even the elders didn’t seem to have higher-grade pouches.
Inside this pouch, there were at least a hundred medium-grade spirit stones!
Song Zhiyou took one and compared it with the one she had gotten from Xie Yue’s pouch. They were exactly the same.
She handed one to Song Qingyao.
“Try absorbing the spiritual energy from this stone to cultivate. See if it’s any different?”
Besides serving as currency, spirit stones also provided spiritual energy to aid cultivation.
Song Qingyao agreed. Song Zhiyou also picked up a medium-grade spirit stone and began to absorb it for cultivation.
However, Song Zhiyou felt like she was forgetting something.
But after thinking hard, she still couldn’t remember. It probably wasn’t important, so she let it go.
At the center of the Daoist field, Song Zhiyou’s Second Uncle was surrounded by a group of elders, looking up at the sky in disappointment.
