Chapter 1254 Dull Pain

Li Meng was extremely surprised. She clearly didn't have any spiritual roots when her family tested her spiritual roots before. How come she had them now, and they were thunder spiritual roots? Although she was young, she still knew the common sense of cultivation.

"Don't worry. Your mother and I are both cultivators. It's impossible for you to not have spiritual roots. So I checked your spiritual roots again and found that you do have spiritual roots. It's just that they are hidden spiritual roots, so they were not detected in your family before."

Mo Shangwei naturally would not tell his daughter that her spiritual roots were taken from someone else, so he borrowed the excuse of hidden spiritual roots, which was also more convincing.

The hidden spiritual roots will not appear unless you cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage. The prerequisite is that you must start practicing.

“Because hidden spiritual roots must be cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage before they can appear, and because your spiritual roots were not detected before, your family would not allow you to cultivate. If you don’t cultivate your hidden spiritual roots, they will never be discovered in your lifetime.

I just use a secret technique to make your hidden spiritual roots appear in advance, and then with the exercises that are suitable for your spiritual roots, you will be able to practice naturally. "

Following Mo Shangwei's explanation, Li Meng finally smiled. After being happy, she became sad again. Tears fell down in big drops, and she said with a sob:

"Mother, if she could hold on for a while longer, she might know that I can practice cultivation, and that I am not the calamity star of the Long family, and I did not kill her. Wow!"

Li Meng is a child after all. The grievances she suffered before were partly due to her mother giving birth to a daughter out of wedlock, and partly because she had no spiritual roots and could not practice. After that, her mother died of illness. She was disliked by her family members, targeted and bullied everywhere, and sent to live with a strange father. This series of changes made her afraid, worried, and sad.

But she knew that she had no right to cry, she could only accept it silently. She knew that she could not control her own destiny. But now her father told her that she could practice and that she could control her own path in the future. All her grievances burst out.

After crying her heart out, Li Meng finally let go of the heavy weight on her heart. She wiped away her tears, got off the bed, knelt in front of Mo Shangwei, kowtowed and said:

"Father, please accept your daughter's greeting. Thank you for not giving up on me! I will work hard in my cultivation in the future to make the Long family regret it and make father proud!"

"Good girl, get up! You are my daughter, and it is my fault that you are suffering.

Your mother and I have always been in love with each other. I gave your mother the token of my love and promised to propose to the Long family later and become a Taoist couple with your mother. At that time, I didn't know that your mother was pregnant with you.

But when I returned to Moshang City, it was besieged by a tide of beasts and the city was almost broken. I couldn't ignore the lives of the people in the city because of my personal feelings. They also have parents, brothers and children.

Moreover, I was seriously injured after the battle to defend the city. In order to prevent someone from taking advantage of me, I announced to the public that I had gained something from the battle with a high-level monster and was going to retreat to advance. In fact, I was retreating to recover from my injuries, and I have been retreating until now."

Mo Shangwei didn't know if a seven-year-old girl could understand, but because his daughter seemed very precocious due to the bad experiences she had in the Long family, he still explained with a mixture of truth and lies why he didn't go to find her mother, so as to prevent his daughter from resenting him.

Li Meng had indeed resented her father whom she had never met before, but now her father was using a secret method to make her hidden spiritual roots appear in order to allow her to practice, which showed that he still valued her as a daughter.

So Li Meng's resentment was relieved a lot. The most important thing was that it was the Long family who treated her badly, not her father. Even before she met her father, the housekeeper in the mansion took good care of her and no one bullied her.

"Li Meng, now that you have spiritual roots, you can start practicing. However, the environment of the City Lord's Mansion is not suitable for you to practice. I have more than one child. To prevent you from getting hurt again, I want to send you to a sect to practice and find a good master for you. Do you think it's okay?"

"Li Meng obeys her father's arrangements in everything."

Li Meng nodded sensibly. She had seen in the Long family that children of the same age would do anything to snatch resources for cultivation. Moreover, she had heard from Aunt Ding before that she had two older sisters and two older brothers, and their cultivation was not bad at all.

She only has spiritual roots now, and has not even started practicing. If her half-siblings knew that she had a mutant spiritual root of the thunder type, one can imagine what she will face, so it is best for her to listen to her father's arrangements.

"Li Meng, don't be afraid. The main reason is that your father does not have a lightning spiritual root, so he cannot guide you in cultivation. That is why I want to introduce you to the Xuanjian Sect. Whether your spiritual roots allow you to cultivate in the form of magic or sword, you will definitely go further than your father in the future."

Mo Shangwei said sincerely that he wanted to compensate his daughter. His beloved woman suffered so much injustice when he was in seclusion, and finally died. He also blamed himself.

Moreover, a child with a single thunder spiritual root is still worthy of his investment. His attitude towards children has always been to give priority to those who are capable, not just those who are older.

"My daughter understands that I have caused my father trouble."

Li Meng said with her little face raised.

"You take a rest for a while. I will send you there after I have negotiated with my friends from Xuanjian Sect. During this period, you'd better not leave this courtyard or meet outsiders."

Mo Shangwei still gave instructions, for he was afraid that the child might be unstable and want to go out and show off.

"Yes, my daughter has made a note of it."

After the father and daughter bonded for a while, Mo Shangwei hurriedly left his younger daughter's residence as he had a lot of things to do.

On the other side, Lian Xiye meditated and practiced for two more days after returning to his residence, but he always felt something was not right, especially in the area of his dantian, where he always felt a dull pain.

Lian Xiye touched the location of his dantian and looked inward with his spiritual consciousness. The three spiritual roots of fire, wood and earth deep in his dantian were still shining, but no matter how he looked at them, he felt that his spiritual roots were a little wilted, as if they had suffered a serious blow.

"Strange, my Dantian was not struck when I was undergoing the tribulation before!"

Lian Xiye muttered to himself.

Looking at his Nascent Soul again, it was a smaller version of himself and had not changed at all. It was floating in the center of his Dantian with its eyes closed, breathing in and out spiritual energy. There had been no major changes.

Lian Xiye couldn't figure out anything and couldn't concentrate on practicing, so he just walked around his yard, checked the spirit gathering formation, and went to find the housekeeper to ask about Mo Shangchen's situation.

After learning that the City Lord of Moshang had advanced to the realm of spiritual separation and came out of seclusion, Moshangchen also went into seclusion. He wanted to find Elaine to get closer to her, but he saw a "Seclusion" sign hanging at the door of Elaine's courtyard, so he had to return to his own courtyard to continue practicing.

After Du Yan, Ye Qing and Mu Sheng successively advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, more than four years had passed. Mo Shangchen also came out of seclusion after stabilizing his cultivation at the middle Nascent Soul stage. There was no effect in practicing further, so they also had to prepare to set off.

“Hey, Fellow Daoist Yilian is the first one to advance to the Nascent Soul stage, why hasn’t he come out of retreat yet?”
