Chapter 1244: The Hidden Spirit Root Appears

ruitment tasks when they received a video call from other teachers. They said there was a genius student who bypassed their testing stage and went straight to challenge an advanced placement test, and...Last night, Lian Xi was cultivating within the gathering spirit formation he was drawing. When he was in the killing formation earlier, he felt a jolt in his heart and sensed danger. Instinctively, he threw out a life-saving explosive talisman. It's not like he wasn't heartbroken about it.

But now, feeling my cultivation dangerously unstable and on the verge of collapse, I am also grateful that I acted quickly. Otherwise, if my cultivation had fallen to the middle stage of the Golden Core, it would have been even more troublesome.

First of all, these fellow disciples who came out with him would no longer listen to his arrangements. Secondly, the plan to pursue Eileen would also be ruined, after all, no one wants to date someone with a lower cultivation level than themselves.

So after secretly rejoicing, he began diligently absorbing the cave's spiritual energy, so that he could stabilize his cultivation as quickly as possible and avoid being kicked out of the current team.

Ripples could be felt, as a massive amount of spiritual energy flowed toward the cave dwelling beside her. It must be Lian Yexi cultivating, she thought. She released her divine sense and after a moment, suddenly opened her eyes.

"Tsk, what a heaven's darling. To actually have a thunder attribute hidden spiritual root, no wonder their talisman abilities are so powerful."

"Master, even on the evening there is a trace of spiritual root!"

Dodo exclaimed immediately.

"Well, I guess he didn't even realize it himself, otherwise a cultivator with three spiritual roots of Fire, Wood, and Earth wouldn't have advanced so quickly."

Ripple said with certainty.

This matter was originally unknown to the person involved, and according to Ripples' guess, Lian Ye should have discovered it after advancing to the Yuan Ying stage himself.

Last lifetime, at this time, the original owner had already been coaxed by Lian Yexi to complete several sect missions together. After returning to the sect, he went into seclusion and directly broke through from the late stage of foundation establishment to the early stage of Nascent Soul without even participating in the sect competition.

After Lian Xi Ye consolidated his cultivation following the benefits he received on that night, he took a mission from the sect to meet with the original body and prepare to continue exploiting him. When Lian Xi Ye advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, he realized the original body's identity, which led to a series of events afterwards.

It seems that Lian Xiye had been concealing something from the original owner even in their previous life. This life, because of her appearance, butterfly wings have caused many things to change. Therefore, Lian Xiye's cultivation level has yet to break through to the Yuanying period, and she hasn't discovered that she has a thunder attribute hidden spiritual root.

Now it seems that Dodo's actions were a bit rash, but the result was good. Even Ye Xie's cultivation should not be broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, or before that, find a way to remove the other party's hidden spirit root.

Liàn Yī rubbed her fingers together and instructed Dǒu Dǒu:

"Duo Duo, you can't directly absorb Lian Xi Ye's spiritual energy, but you can absorb the spiritual qi flowing into his cave. The more you absorb, the less he has to refine."

"Don't worry, Master. Doudou knows what to do."

The flower disc shook, and she immediately darted out to intercept the spiritual energy.

At this moment, Lian Xiye, who was cultivating, suddenly opened his eyes. He always felt that someone was watching him in the dark. He got up and checked the restrictions inside the cave again before returning to the gathering spirit formation to continue his cultivation.

For five consecutive days and nights, he did not leave his cave abode. Unfortunately, the spiritual energy he could absorb through the Gathering Spirit Array seemed to be decreasing. He went to find the innkeeper who rented him the cave, and the other party said impatiently:

"Fellow Daoist, the dwelling you're renting is of low grade, so the spiritual energy within it certainly won't be abundant. If you desire plentiful spiritual energy, you'll have to be willing to spend a good amount of spirit stones."

"But, why is the spiritual energy around my cave dwelling becoming increasingly thin"

"That's normal, some people absorb energy intensely and might temporarily deplete the surrounding spiritual energy. It will recover in a day or two. Just wait."

The shopkeeper's answer was very superficial. A cultivator at the Golden Core stage wasn't impressive to him here.

That evening, he was embarrassed to have such a difficult situation. Helplessly, after his wounds healed, he had no choice but to retreat from his cave and prepare to go to Moshang City to sell his Nascent Soul Fruit. Once the spirit fruit was sold for Spirit Stones, he planned to rent a better cave dwelling.

Lian Yi was chatting with Du Yan, exchanging information about the latest defensive hairpins. Both of them planned to get one for themselves after obtaining spirit stones. Just then, Lian Xiye walked over with a sullen face.

These days everyone has left in turn, only Lian Xiye lingered until the very end. Ye Qing was already getting impatient.

"Senior Brother Lian, how are you recovering When are we leaving for Moshang City"

"My injuries have recovered, and I can set off today."

At dusk, Lian Xi glanced at several people, her eyes flashed, and then she said with a smile.

"That's good, we were all worried about you."

Mu Sheng smiled and added a polite remark to ease the tension.

After exchanging a few words, several people prepared to go to Moshang City. However, this time, for safety reasons, everyone decided to take the teleportation array to Moshang City. As it was a short-distance transmission, each person only needed one hundred mid-grade spirit stones.

Everyone agreed, but even Xi Ye felt a little embarrassed. He only had low-grade spirit stones, and even medium-grade spirit stones weren't enough.

Ripple saw Lian Xi Ye's predicament and generously offered to lend him money first, easing his immediate financial burden. The five of them successfully stepped onto the teleportation array, and after a flash of white light, they disappeared from view.

When a few people walked down the teleportation array, they had already arrived at Moshang City. This city was much more prosperous than Yunguang City before. The cultivators passing by were all at the Golden Core stage, and one or two Nascent Soul cultivators could also be encountered.

Time waits for no man, let's head to the auction house first.

To prevent the night from being long and dreams from being numerous, he immediately proposed.

"Good!"

Everyone agreed to get their hands on the spirit stones first, so they hired a Qi Refining stage guide and headed straight for the largest auction house in Moshang City.

The shop they went to was called "Qiwu Pavilion," which means that the things bought and sold there were the most complete, and if you bought something, you could sell it there too. Qiwu Pavilion also received some treasures and held auctions periodically.

Because the auctions are irregular, anyone who happens to know about them can participate. The Qi Wu Pavilion doesn't intentionally publicize it, but those in the know will still find out. Therefore, the Qi Wu Pavilion's auctions have never lacked customers. The prices they offer for items are fair, and most cultivators seeking stability generally choose this place.

They had good luck that evening. There was an auction in three days, so they quickly sent the Yuan Ying fruit to Qi Wu Pavilion for consignment. With the nameplate from the other party, the five of them finally felt like going shopping around.

Du Yan rolled her eyes and immediately pulled Lian'er towards the Artifact Pavilion for a stroll:

"Eileen, friend, let's go take a look at the defensive hairpins first. You can make a reservation in advance, and once you have the spirit stones, you can pick them up directly."

"Sounds good! Let's take a look then."

Ripples nodded in agreement, then the five people, men and women, separated and went to places that interested them.

As ripples and Du Yan agreed on a hairpin, when they went to meet Lian Xiye and the others, they saw that the three of them were having a lively conversation with a Qiang Ji Men cultivator.

Du Yan glanced at the male cultivator in the black robe with dark patterns, then asked with a smile:

"Senior Brother, who is this Daoist friend"

"Shijie Du, Dao You Eileen, this is Dao You Mo Shang Chen from Qianji Men. We met him at the Scattered Cultivator Market just now. We hit it off immediately and invited Dao You Mo Shang to have tea with us."

In the evening, Shen Cai was radiant and lively, a stark contrast to his previous despondency.

Ripple's eyes narrowed slightly, smiling as she greeted Mo Shangchen. Du Yan beside her became even more attentive.

When Mo Shangchen saw the ripples, he was visibly startled, and then his hand in his sleeve quickly started calculating.m sorry, but I took a little while to get you that self-defense weapon."Yuan Chongming speaks the truth.The ripples skimmed his empty hand, saying "So, where's your weapon""Let me take Jiayao first, t...
