After standing there for a while, he received a message from his master via flying sword, so he went to the cave of True Lord Mingchuan.

The master was sitting in meditation in the quiet room. When he saw A-Jiang, he didn't show anything on his face, but simply asked, "Is your cultivation going smoothly?"

"Reporting to Master, everything went smoothly."

"Hmm," True Monarch Mingchuan nodded, closed his eyes, and waited a while before saying, "I have already prepared a fire spirit root for you, but the process of planting the spirit root is extremely painful. Can you endure it?"

“Master, I have already embarked on the path of cultivation. No matter how painful it is to cultivate spiritual roots, I do not want to give up.”

"Okay, come with me."

Mingchuan Zhenjun led her to a huge stone chamber deep inside the cave.

The dome here is about ten zhang high, and there is a huge luminous object on the top of the cave. Ajiang does not know what it is, but the entire cave is illuminated in every detail.

Ajahn dared not look around, but noticed a huge medicine furnace, taller than a person, standing in the center.

"Sit down, let me explain the process to you first."

Upon hearing this, Ajahn respectfully sat down on a prayer mat to the side.

“There are many kinds of spiritual root cultivation. In your current situation, you need to be inoculated. First, use external force to refine the fire-type spiritual object, which is the fire-type spirit crow above your head. It has the bloodline of the Golden Crow, and its fire spiritual power is relatively pure, which is also suitable for the bloodline you have.”

"During the refining process, you mainly rely on this purple-gold cauldron and the magic array. You need to continuously input spiritual power until the refining is complete."

"After refining it, this spiritual plant will be placed in your dantian. At that time, your master will open up your meridians so that the fire spiritual power can enter your body and circulate smoothly. This is the most painful time, like being skinned and having your tendons pulled out."

A-Jiang was a little frightened when he heard this.

"Master, is there any medicine that can make you feel no pain after taking it?"

She was just a fragile summoner and never thought her will was extraordinary.

Moreover, since I already have a fire spiritual root, even though it's still very young, let's just say that all five elements of spiritual roots must be complete and have such high spiritual values.

But she dared not say more. Her master had worked so hard to capture the spirit crow, and the furnace was already lit. She could not back down.

"It's best to maintain your sanity during this kind of spiritual refinement." He paused, then added, "I'll prepare a pill to alleviate your pain."

"Thank you, Master!"

With everything prepared, Ajahn stopped thinking about anything else and simply followed the instructions of Mingchuan Zhenjun step by step.

During his most painful moments, Ah Jiang wished he could travel back in time and not suffer like this.

However, all the spirit beasts in the space sensed her pain and cheered her on, channeling their spiritual energy in reverse to speed up the process and shorten A-Jiang's suffering.

This scene was naturally observed by True Monarch Mingchuan. He was astonished by the immense spiritual power, but he didn't say anything more.

This spiritual root planting took more than three months. After it ended, A-Jiang recuperated for another six months before he was able to walk normally again.

She has already reached the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, but A-Jiang has not yet reached Foundation Establishment.

It's not that I'm unwilling, but that I can't.

Because of this, Mingchuan Zhenjun consulted countless ancient scrolls and thus had a vague guess.

"It's a cultivation method."

Half a month later, Mingchuan Zhenjun finally came to a conclusion:

"For some unknown reason, your body has undergone significant changes. The flow of spiritual energy in your meridians has changed, and even your life form has become different. These changes are difficult to describe."

He considered it for a moment and said, "Although you have the bloodline of Bai Ze, it should be so diluted that it is almost non-existent. However, your body is becoming more and more like that of a demon."

"Master, is this why we cannot cultivate human cultivation techniques or establish our foundation?"

True Monarch Mingchuan shook his head: "Rather than saying that one cannot establish a foundation, it would be more accurate to say that one does not need to establish a foundation."

He smiled and said, "With your current physique, living for a thousand years wouldn't be a problem, and your spiritual power might rival that of a Golden Core cultivator."

A-Jiang was shocked. So strong?

Suddenly it seems like I've gone from a complete novice to a powerful one!

What exactly happened?

She was still in a daze after leaving Mingchuan Zhenjun's cave, but she vaguely knew that it was the influence of the black and white beads on her forehead.

Gently revealing the two horns on his forehead, A-Jiang skipped happily back to his cave.

Just over ten days later, A-Jiang was suddenly summoned to the presence of True Lord Mingchuan.

"Pack your things and get ready to go down the mountain."

"Master, why do you suddenly want me to go down the mountain?"

Ah Jiang was filled with unease. Could it be that her half-demon identity had been discovered and the sect had decided to expel her from the sect?

A-Jiang knelt down with a thud: "Master, please don't send me away."

True Monarch Mingchuan shook his head helplessly and said, "The original plan was for you to undergo some training before you established your foundation. Now that your cultivation path is different, it is more suitable for you to train in the mortal world. If you just cultivate hard in the mountains, it will not be very effective."

Hearing this, A-Jiang realized she had been overthinking things. After calming down, she still didn't want to go down the mountain.

“Master, I come from the mortal world and have witnessed too much human joy and sorrow. I have already made up my mind to pursue the Dao. Why should I go to the mortal world for further training?”

"You're just a teenager, what are you talking about seeing all the world's troubles?"

Mingchuan Zhenjun found it amusing and then said, "And have you really forgotten your relatives and friends, forgotten the pleasures of the world, truly let go of everything in this mundane world, and never want to look at it again?"
