Chapter 11: Favoring One over the Other

"You mean, I just used your power?"

The tower spirit nodded: "Although my spiritual power is less than one ten-thousandth of what it used to be, I can still deal with those spiritual masters with ease." He said seriously: "If I recover my strength, maybe I can help you find a way to reshape your spiritual roots." It looked at her dantian, and a trace of confusion flashed in its eyes. If others had no spiritual roots or their spiritual roots were damaged, it could tell one or two, but when she entered the space, it did not notice that there was any problem with her spiritual roots. Having said that, those who can be chosen by the Burning Dragon Tower will never be unknown people. How could she be an ordinary person without spiritual roots?

Could it be...

The tower spirit glared at the Burning Dragon Tower fiercely.

Could it be that this guy's criteria for contracting a master has changed from spiritual power to appearance?

The Burning Dragon Tower seemed to sense the angry gaze of the tower spirit. A burst of spiritual energy appeared in the tower for no reason and disappeared in an instant.

"I don't care about you. After all, we have already signed the contract. Life and death are determined by fate." It was quite self-destructive. It really didn't know when it could recover some strength. With the spiritual power it had now, if it was used a little, it would be less. If it was used too much, it would feel dizzy. It had just used up a lot of spiritual power to help her pass the silver needle through the water curtain. If it hadn't taken the low-level spiritual medicine, it would have fainted by now.

If I fall into sleep again, I don’t know when I will wake up.

"Are you sure the elixir can help you regain your strength?"

Hearing Ling Changge's voice, Ta Ling's drooping head instantly lifted up, his eyes lit up, and his little head couldn't stop nodding up and down: "Yes, yes, it's all right!"

Ling Changge gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! I'll go and empty the old man's family fortune tomorrow! Since you've followed me, I can't let you starve to death, right?"

The thoughts in Ta Ling's mind had entered her mind intactly.

When she thought about the little creature, which was no taller than three blocks of tofu, fainting from hunger, she felt a little sorry for it, but she couldn't help but want to see what it looked like when it fainted.

Ling Changge's gaze fell on the tower spirit. It swallowed and floated back: "What do you want to do?"

"Nothing." Ling Changge clapped her hands and whispered, "I'm just trying to think of a way to exchange the most spirit coins in the shortest possible time." She circled around the tower spirit and whispered, "What's the use of the fire that just came out of your fingertips?"

"What are you talking about?" Tower Spirit stretched out his finger, and a cluster of flames appeared on his fingertips. In an instant, the temperature around him rose.

"This is the Dragon Burning Tower's innate flame." Mentioning the Dragon Burning Tower, the tower spirit raised its chin again. "This flame is a rare fire rarely seen in the world. If I were to recover to my peak, the entire Jinling City would be engulfed in flames in a moment. But now, my spiritual power has been completely dissipated, and the Dragon Burning Tower has been sealed. This flame..." He lowered his voice considerably, "can be used for warmth."

Ling Changge's mouth twitched, and he looked at it speechlessly.

"Then when you took the elixir just now, you used this flame to refine it. What does that mean?"

Upon hearing this, the tower spirit shook his head and said, "It's useless. My flame can only extract the spiritual essence from the spiritual medicine, but it cannot fuse it. If it can't be fused, I can't refine the medicine."

"So, right now I have raised a Pixiu, which only knows how to eat elixirs but is of no use at all." Ling Changge rolled her eyes and sighed, "Forget it, I can't count on you anymore. I'd better think of a solution myself!" After she finished speaking, she moved her mind and left the space.

As soon as she left, the Burning Dragon Tower trembled, and the ball of light in the tower shrank into one place, as if it felt some powerful force. Not long after, a ball of light slowly emerged from the middle pillar, and golden power swept out. Seeing this, the tower spirit's pupils shrank sharply. Just as it was about to reach out and grab it, the ball of light seemed to have eyes and flew away quickly.

No matter how hard the tower spirit chased it, it could not catch it.

"You, you stinky thing, you bully!" It panted and pointed at the ball of light and said, "Just wait! When I regain my strength, I will be the first to deal with you!"

Feeling the familiar fluctuations from the ball of light, the tower spirit sniffed, his eyes slightly red. He turned around and floated outside the Burning Dragon Tower, muttering, "Hateful, bad guy, but what's wrong with my eyes? Why are they so sore?"

Early the next morning, Ling Changge came to Grandpa Ling's yard. This was the first time she had walked out of the yard since she traveled through time.

Along the way, the disciples of the Ling family avoided her when they saw her. Not only that, they looked at her with a hint of anger and contempt.

Ling Changge didn't care about this. After all, the things he had done in the past were not outrageous to both humans and gods, but they were pretty much the same!

She touched the tip of her nose and walked quickly towards Mr. Ling's yard.

At this time, in Grandpa Ling's yard, Ling Fanglin was looking at Grandpa Ling with anger on his face.

"Dad, my elder brother and I are both your sons. Why are you so partial to one and not the other?"

Hearing this, Mr. Ling glanced at him and said, "How can I be partial to one and not to the other?"

"Chang Ge and Ling'er are both your granddaughters. Chang Ge did something so outrageous, but not only did you not punish her, you indulged her in every way. And what about Ling'er? She was punished by kneeling in the ancestral temple for even the smallest mistake. She is a darling of heaven! Among the younger generation of our Ling family, Ling'er has the best talent and the highest spiritual power. How could you treat her like this?"

"A minor offense?" Old Master Ling slammed his teacup onto the table and angrily said, "Brotherhood is a minor offense? Then tell me, what is a major offense?"

"Of course it's like Ling Changge. Have you heard what people are saying outside? Our Ling family has lost face! You're still protecting her. Isn't that a big mistake?" Ling Fanglin said in a deep voice: "Now that my eldest brother and sister-in-law are gone, you feel sorry for her, which is understandable, but there should be a limit, right?"

"Shut up!" Old Master Ling slammed the table heavily. "What do you mean 'gone'? Enze has already gone to look for your brother, and he will definitely be able to find him. Now that you know your sister-in-law is no longer alive, you should feel more sorry for Chang Ge. You have forgotten how much kindness your sister-in-law has shown you over the years. You should repay the kindness you have received. If our Ling family didn't have her, I'm afraid we would have been swallowed up by other families long ago. How can you be so cruel to her orphan?"

"Dad, Chang Ge has no spiritual power. You can protect her temporarily, but can you protect her forever? If she doesn't get punished for such a big disaster, won't she cause chaos in the future? You really won't be able to protect her then." Ling Fanglin said in a deep voice: "I think we should send her to Yicheng, away from the protection of our family. Maybe she can make some progress."

Mentioning Yicheng, Old Master Ling's face suddenly darkened. "Ling Fanglin, you evil beast! You want Changge's life!" What kind of place is Yicheng? Magical beasts are rampant there. Not to mention ordinary people like her, even spiritualists and spiritual masters have to be cautious there. If Ling Changge went there, she might not survive even half a day.
