Chapter 3: Yet Another Talent

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“That’s right, it’s you! You actually possess a first-grade Earth Spirit Root attribute! You’re one in a hundred! Come and be my last disciple!”

Just at this moment, a voice was heard. Then, there was a great sense of oppression and a person descended from the sky. It was the Sect Master of the Rampant Sect, You Yuntian.

“Isn’t this the Sect Master of the Rampant Sect? Even the Sect Master has personally come to take in a disciple. It seems that this person has great talent!”

“With such a lucky coincidence, will this person become the next Xu Tian?”

“That’s impossible. Even if he has the attribute of a first-grade Earth Spirit Root, he can’t reach Xu Tian’s level. However, as long as he doesn’t choose to condense the foundation of the Heavenly Dao like Xu Tian, he might be better than Xu Tian.”

Everyone looked at the fine-looking young man with envy.

The appearance of the Sect Master of the Rampant Sect caused quite a stir. However, a portion of the people had already been eliminated and there were no longer as many disciples in front of the Rampant Sect.

“That’s just great. Father always said that girls should behave like girls. He told me to be educated and reasonable, so I didn’t have the chance to touch cultivation. I also don’t know what kind of spiritual roots I should have.”

When Ying Zhuxia thought of this, she even thought of the possibility that she was not made for cultivation. It would be a lie to say that she wasn’t envious at all when she saw someone with such great talent.

Therefore, at the thought of being imprisoned by her family, Ying Zhuxia felt that she did not have any freedom at all. Furthermore, her status at home wasn’t high. After all, Ying Zhuxia was the daughter of a concubine of the Ying Family. Based on her status, she did not have a single chance at cultivation.

At this moment, it was finally Ying Zhuxia’s turn. She took a step forward and in front of her was a Marrow Stone that could detect Spirit Roots. This Marrow Stone could reflect a person’s hidden Spirit Root.

Ying Zhuxia placed her hand on the Marrow Stone and kept praying in her heart. She hoped that she would have a Spirit Root, even if it was a third-grade one!

All she had to do was escape the imprisonment of the Ying Family and make sure she does not marry that rich playboy.

Otherwise, she would have to spend the rest of her life in vain. Perhaps even the Heavens had heard Ying Zhuxia’s prayers. At first, the Marrow Stone only emitted a faint glow. Then, it began to emit rays of light bit by bit. This light beam grew bigger and bigger bit by bit before bursting out with an extremely strong light.

This beam of light made everyone present unable to open their eyes. They used their hands to cover their eyes.

The elder who was holding onto the jade walking stick was also dumbfounded. If the elegant youth from earlier was a first-grade Earth Spirit Root, then the current Ying Zhuxia was actually a Heaven Spirit Root!

Heaven Spirit Roots were the best Spirit Roots, second only to Earth Spirit Roots. As long as this Spirit Root appeared, there was no need to split it into first-grade or second-grade. Even third-grade Heaven Spirit Roots were better than any other first-grade Spiritual Root.

“In the past 200 years, Xu Tian was the only one in Ling Zhou with a Heaven Spirit Root. I didn’t expect this young lady to have a Heaven Spirit Root as well. Moreover, both of them are from the Rampant Sect!”

Everyone was discussing animatedly, unable to believe that the young woman before them possessed such a formidable Spirit Root.

“If this young girl is nurtured well, she might be able to achieve Inedia in ten years, right? Just don’t learn from Xu Tian and try to condense a Heavenly Dao foundation.”

Heaven Spirit Roots represented supreme abilities and talent. Ordinary disciples’ cultivation speed could not be compared to those with Heaven Spirit Roots like Xu Tian. It would be easier for them to break through the bottleneck.

Ying Zhuxia was even more shocked than them. After stuttering for a long time, she blinked her eyes and said, “I-I-I am really a Heaven Spirit Root?”

Even an outsider like Ying Zhuxia had heard of Spirit Roots. Only Heaven and Earth Spirit Roots were the rarest. She did not expect herself to be the legendary Heaven Spirit Root that was rarely seen in a hundred years.

She was already suspecting if there was something wrong with the Marrow Stone or if there was a mistake.

It was also at this moment that You Yuntian rushed in front of Ying Zhuxia like an arrow, and he couldn’t conceal the excitement on his face. “Girl, let me take a look at your pulse!”

You Yuntian was very excited. He didn’t suspect that there was anything wrong with the Marrow Stone. After all, a Heaven Spirit Root was too rare. Moreover, it was a girl who didn’t have any cultivation fruits.

On the other hand, there were cultivators with Heaven Spirit Roots. Without exception, they were all talented cultivators. In the entire Lingzhou, there were less than three people with Heaven Spirit Roots.

You Yuntian held Ying Zhuxia’s pulse. Then, his excited expression became more and more serious.

Everyone thought that Ying Zhuxia might be accepted as a disciple by the Sect Master, but Yun Tian only sighed and showed a face of extreme regret. He shook his head at Ying Zhuxia and said, “It’s really a pity. Although you have a Heaven Spirit Root, your Life Providence isn’t good. It’s very difficult to cultivate. In other words, it’s basically impossible for you to cultivate to achieve anything in this lifetime.”

Even though having aptitude was good, cultivators all based on Life Providence as their foundation. If their Life Providence was not good, then no matter how much one cultivated, it would be futile.

“If the problem really lies with the Life Providence, then it’s not impossible. As long as you use the Spirit Herb as the catalyst and slightly push the Life Providence, it’ll be fine.”

“Don’t even think about it. Do you think that Spirit Herbs are so easy to obtain? In the entire Kingdom of the Nine States, only a radius of ten feet has Spirit Herbs. They only grow saplings after a hundred years, and can only take shape after three hundred years. No one even knows where they grow.”

“But this girl looks pretty good. Perhaps she can be a maid in the Rampant Sect?”

“Are you blind? Look at the way this girl is dressed. One look and you can tell that she’s from a wealthy family. Who would give up their wealth and come here to be a maid?”

In the beginning, everyone was envious of Ying Zhuxia’s aptitude. Now that they heard from the Sect Master that Ying Zhuxia’s Life Providence was not good, they felt great pity for her.

Ying Zhuxia lowered her head and felt extremely uncomfortable. “Could it be that I really cannot become a cultivator?”

Maybe it was because she was too happy just now, but now she was very disappointed. Her mental state seemed to be very poor. Perhaps it was because the sun was too hot, now she was worried about personal gains and losses. She felt a little weak and swayed unsteadily.

“Ah, I also feel that it’s a pity for you. Although your aptitude is very good, things like Life Providence can’t be reversed. So, you should give up. Go back home and be a good young miss.” You Yuntian sighed.
