A rustling sound came from inside the door. Qi Yu and the others waited outside, their feelings complicated.

It would be a lie to say she wasn't disappointed. In the books she had read before, transmigrators often had single spiritual roots, mutated spiritual roots, or top-grade spiritual roots. But she had five spiritual roots, which was a huge difference.

Now she's even broken someone else's spirit-testing stone and has been arrested and interrogated. Qi Yu looked at Mu Luo's hand holding her arm with a headache.

The little white bird that had been silent in his arms suddenly poked its head out, keenly noticed the extra hand on Qi Yu's body, and pecked the groping hand fiercely with a glint in its eyes.

The peck was quite forceful. Mu Luo let go with a hiss, a small cut appearing on the back of her hand. She looked at her in confusion.

Qi Yu hadn't noticed and had caused trouble again. She quickly stuffed Feng Xiao into her arms and apologized in a low voice, "I'm sorry, my pet is being unreasonable."

Having already ruined someone's spirit-testing stone, and then Feng Xiao bit someone's hand until it bled, Qi Yu, exasperated, took out a bottle of wound medicine from his system inventory and handed it to Mu Luo.

"Here's some medicine. Apply it to your wound, and it will heal very quickly."

Just as Mu Luo took the medicine, the door was suddenly opened.

A woman dressed in a light blue brocade robe with cloud patterns walked out. She was about thirty years old, with her black hair neatly tied into a ponytail and her face, free of makeup, exuding a heroic spirit.

She looked at Qi Yu and asked Mu Luo, "What's wrong with the spirit stone?"

Mu Luo grinned: "The moment this young lady placed her hand on it, the spirit-testing stone shattered."

The dean gave Qi Yu a deep look and said, "Come with me."

Qi Yu followed her nervously into the house and watched as she took out a delicate copper key and opened a box containing a stone much larger than the spirit-testing stone from before.

The dean placed his hand on Qi Yu's shoulder, indicating that she should have her spiritual root tested again, and said in a calm voice, "Control your power, and I will assist you."

Qi Yu tentatively touched the stone again. The familiar heat and strong suction made her sweat. Five colors gathered and surged wildly within the stone.

Just as she was about to reach her breaking point, a cool spiritual energy emanated from the dean's hand on her shoulder. Qi Yu's tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly, and she followed the guidance of that spiritual energy to find the spiritual meridians within her body.

The spirit-testing stone was continuously drawing power from her body, and Qi Yu tried her best to control the flow of that power within her, with beads of sweat sliding down her cheeks.

After half an incense stick's time, the spirit-testing stone finally calmed down and shone with a dazzling white light.

The dean looked at him with approval and withdrew his hand.

"I never expected that I would actually encounter a divine-grade chaotic spiritual root that is only found once in a thousand years."

A chaotic spiritual root? Qi Yu stared in shock at the spirit-testing stone that shone like a light bulb. "Aren't I a five-elemental root?"

The dean snorted coldly, "Who said that? Mu Luo? You're ignorant."

Mu Luo, an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire outside the door: ...

"Divine quality. It seems she hasn't lowered the overall level of transmigrators." Qi Yu couldn't help but smile and asked, "Then can I study at the Spirit Academy?"

"Of course." The dean pinched her cheek. "Our academy has never had a disciple with such good aptitude."

The dean sighed again, "It's a pity that after the Demon Clan's invasion, many of the Vermilion Bird Kingdom's predecessors passed away, and cultivation resources became scarce. The Spiritual Academy can only support your cultivation up to the Foundation Establishment stage. Chaotic spiritual roots are rare, and ordinary cultivation techniques may not be suitable for you. You will have to find suitable cultivation techniques yourself."

Qi Yu nodded, then, thinking of the cracked spirit-testing stone from before, asked somewhat embarrassedly, "I just broke a spirit-testing stone, how are you going to compensate me?"

Upon hearing this, the dean couldn't help but smile on his serious face and said, "You don't need to pay for it. It's worth it to exchange a broken spirit-testing stone for a disciple with exceptional talent."

She took out a jade pendant and placed it in Qi Yu's palm. "This is the symbol of a disciple of the Spirit Academy. You can use it to enter and exit the Spirit Academy. Have Mu Luo show you around and arrange a room for you."

The jade pendant is engraved with four large, square characters that read "Wucheng Lingyuan". It is warm to the touch and has a faint, calming fragrance, so it must have been very expensive.

Just as Qi Yu was about to leave, the dean suddenly stopped her, "Wait."

"Dean, what's wrong?" Qi Yu asked, puzzled.

The dean hesitated for a moment, then said, "It's best not to reveal that you have a Chaos Spiritual Root. The situation is chaotic right now, and I'm afraid I might attract uninvited guests."

Qi Yu pondered for a moment. The chaotic situation must refer to the fact that countless demons were mixed in with the Boundless Continent. If he exposed his talent when he was still weak, he might indeed be nipped in the bud.

“Okay, I understand.” She nodded solemnly.

A slight smile appeared on the dean's solemn face as he said, "Go ahead, I'll make sure Mu Luo keeps quiet."

As soon as they left the dean's room, Mu Luo was still waiting outside. Holding a bottle of wound medicine, he asked in surprise, "Where did you get this medicine? It's much more effective than Master Jin's, who specializes in alchemy in our academy."

Qi Yu noticed that the wound on his hand had almost completely healed and said, "I obtained this medicine by chance." Yes, it was given to me by the system.

Mu Luo handed the remaining wound medicine back to Qi Yu, waving her hand and saying, "Such a good thing, and you just casually give it to me to treat this tiny wound? It's such a waste."

Knowing that Mu Luo just didn't want to take advantage of her, and that the wound from Feng Xiao's peck had healed, Qi Yu took the opportunity to retrieve the medicine.

She's really poor now; it's not a good idea for her to pretend to be rich when she's not.

Seeing that she wasn't being coy, Mu Luo patted her shoulder cheerfully, "Then let's walk around and get acquainted, shall we?"

Qi Yu nodded in agreement.

Although the Spirit Academy appears to be just an ordinary little house from the outside, it is a world of its own inside. It not only has a main hall where cultivation masters explain cultivation techniques, but also a library, alchemy room, weapon forging room, martial arts training platform, and several medicinal fields.
