Once Scorned for My Mixed Spiritual Roots, Now They Weep at My Power! - Chapter 6 - Doesn't Seem That Hard

“The level of your Spiritual Roots only affects the speed at which you absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy. Even with Mixed Spiritual Roots, you can still draw in this energy to cleanse and refine your body.”

“When I first started, it took me half an hour to complete the first layer of the Qi Refining Realm, Drawing Qi into the Body.”

“Junior Brother, with Mixed Spiritual Roots, you might not be as sensitive to the Spiritual Energy.”

“But don’t be discouraged. As long as you follow the mantra I’ve taught you, stay calm and focused, you’ll definitely sense the Spiritual Energy around you.”

After imparting the mantra of the Azure Sea Tide Technique to Xiao Yun, Wen Qing patiently explained her insights.

Xiao Yun felt deeply moved. What a wonderful Senior Sister.

Where else could one find such a great Senior Sister?

He couldn’t let her down.

So what if he had Mixed Spiritual Roots? It just meant absorbing Spiritual Energy a bit slower.

He set a small goal for himself.

Complete Drawing Qi into the Body within ten days.

If he couldn’t, he’d wash Senior Sister’s clothes for a month!

With his mind made up, Xiao Yun silently recited the mantra for Drawing Qi into the Body from the Azure Sea Tide Technique.

Moments later, he felt a warm energy enveloping him.

It felt just like when the Xuantian Treasure Mirror had lifted him at the foot of the mountain!

Could this be the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy?

It didn’t seem as difficult as Senior Sister had said!

Following the guidance of the Azure Sea Tide Technique, Xiao Yun slowly absorbed the surrounding Spiritual Energy into his body.

Instantly, all 36,000 pores of his body opened.

Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy continuously seeped into his body through these pores.

The first layer, Qi entering the body, was achieved!

Xiao Yun opened his eyes in confusion and asked, “Senior Sister, did I just manage to draw Qi into my body?”

Wen Qing stared at Xiao Yun in disbelief.

She had clearly sensed the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy flowing into Xiao Yun’s body.

Wasn’t Junior Brother supposed to have Mixed Spiritual Roots? How did he absorb the energy so quickly?

It hadn’t even been the time it takes to drink a cup of tea!

She had taken a full half-hour back then.

Her Master had even praised her as a prodigy with exceptional talent.

She had been overjoyed at the time.

Now, it seemed she had been a bit narrow-minded!

“Senior Sister… Senior Sister? What are you daydreaming about? Did I manage to draw Qi into my body?”

Wen Qing snapped back to reality, a bit embarrassed. “I suppose… I suppose so. This is my first time teaching someone to draw Qi into the body, so I’m not entirely sure what counts as success.”

“Junior Brother, try to see if you can continuously guide the Spiritual Energy into your body. If you can, then that’s it.”

“Oh, let me try.”

Xiao Yun immediately closed his eyes and re-entered a state of cultivation.

The Azure Sea Tide Technique began to operate.

His body’s pores opened once more, and the Spiritual Energy from the surroundings continuously flowed into him.

This time, it was even easier, and the speed of the energy entering his body was noticeably faster.

Xiao Yun maintained this state for about ten minutes before slowly opening his eyes.

“Senior Sister, it seems I can keep it going!”

Wen Qing was now completely certain-Xiao Yun had indeed accomplished Drawing Qi into the Body.

Wasn’t it said that for those with Mixed Spiritual Roots, it would take at least half a year to achieve this?

How did Junior Brother manage it so quickly?

Though Wen Qing couldn’t quite figure it out, she was genuinely happy for Xiao Yun.

“Junior Brother, you’re truly impressive, being so sensitive to Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy. I noticed just now that your speed in absorbing spiritual energy is also quite fast.”

“At this rate, you’ll achieve Foundation Establishment in less than a year!”

“It took me a whole year to reach Foundation Establishment back then.”

“It’s all thanks to your excellent teaching, Senior Sister. Besides, how could I compare to you? I’d be content if I could achieve Foundation Establishment in ten years.”

Xiao Yun spoke modestly, but inside, he was overjoyed.

“From what Senior Sister said, it seems my cultivation speed is comparable to that of a Supreme Grade Ice Spiritual Root!”

“Awesome! I knew I wasn’t just a Mixed Spiritual Root! I must have the Invincible Five Elements Spiritual Root!”

After confirming Xiao Yun’s success in Drawing Qi into the Body, Wen Qing continued gently.

“Junior Brother, now that you’ve completed the first step of the Qi Refining Realm, Drawing Qi into the Body, you just need to guide the spiritual power to enhance your physical body.”

“I’ve already taught you the Qi Refining techniques of the Azure Sea Tide Technique. You should cultivate well in this Quiet Room while I step out for a bit.”

“Where are you going, Senior Sister?”

“Junior Brother, since you have Mixed Spiritual Roots, your physical body isn’t as pure as those with Single Spiritual Roots. Improving your body requires a large amount of spiritual power. I’m going to Qingmu Peak to get some Foundation Establishment Pills for you, which will help make your cultivation smoother.”

Xiao Yun was deeply moved by Wen Qing’s words.

Compared to those Chief Elders of the Seven Peaks, Wen Qing didn’t look down on him for having Mixed Spiritual Roots.

Instead, she patiently guided him and even offered to get pills for him.

This filled Xiao Yun’s heart with warmth.

If their genders were swapped, Xiao Yun could only think of offering his life in gratitude for such kindness.

“Senior Sister, you’re so good to me. I really don’t know how to repay you.”

“There are only the two of us disciples at Xiaozhu Peak. Who else would I be good to if not you?”

“Don’t overthink it, Junior Brother. Just focus on cultivating. One day, when you make a name for yourself and bring glory to Xiaozhu Peak and honor to our Master, that will be the best repayment for me.”

“Rest assured, Senior Sister. I will definitely work hard,” Xiao Yun promised immediately, making a silent vow in his heart.

He absolutely couldn’t let down Senior Sister’s expectations!

“Alright, Junior Brother, you cultivate well. I’ll be back soon.”

After Wen Qing left, Xiao Yun seized the moment, fueled by his enthusiasm, and focused on his cultivation.

Once outside the Quiet Room, Wen Qing stepped onto her Bamboo Sword and flew towards Qingmu Peak.

The Spirit Sword Sect’s Seven Peaks consisted of Longshou Peak, Shenjian Peak, Qingmu Peak, Shuiyue Peak, Lieyang Peak, Wuchen Peak, and Xiaozhu Peak.

Except for Longshou Peak and Xiaozhu Peak, the other five peaks recruited disciples based on the Five Elements-metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

The disciples of Qingmu Peak all had Wood Spiritual Roots.

Their cultivation techniques were also of the Wood Attribute, which meant many disciples there excelled in alchemy.

Disciples from various peaks would come to Qingmu Peak to purchase pills when needed.

Wen Qing landed outside the Hundred Pills Hall, the place for pill transactions at Qingmu Peak, stepping off her Bamboo Sword.

As soon as she put away her Bamboo Sword, a hearty laugh reached her ears.

“Well, if it isn’t Junior Sister Wen Qing! What brings you to our Hundred Pills Hall at Qingmu Peak today? Hit a bottleneck in your cultivation and need some pills?”

Wen Qing looked towards the voice and saw Yang Xuhao, the son of the Chief Elder of Qingmu Peak, approaching.

Yang Xuhao was handsome and graceful.

With a smile on his face, he walked towards Wen Qing.

Wen Qing returned the greeting, “Greetings, Senior Brother Yang.”

“No need for formalities, Junior Sister.”

“With your exceptional talent, Junior Sister, you never need pills for cultivation. Your visit to our Hundred Pills Hall today truly graces us with your presence.”
