Chapter 29 Chapter 29 Demonic Root

Mu Jiulin never thought that he was special, and he never thought that he would be the person predicted by Xuanzong.

He said, "I don't need to test it."

Ye Nanque looked very calm at this time, and insisted: "Since you are here, Junior Brother Mu, please take the test."

You're already here, right?

Mu Jiulin just wanted to take Ye Nanque back as soon as possible. Any longer he stayed would increase the risk of being discovered. He quickly cut his finger, and the blood mist in the center of the Moon Pearl transformed into a ball of plant roots.

Mu Jiulin smiled easily: "Senior Brother, I am also a single spirit..."

Before the word "root" was uttered, several new wisps of mist separated from the blood mist. They were not blood red but an extremely gorgeous purple. The changing purple mist swayed for a while and turned into a tiny spiritual root.

At the moment this unexpected spiritual root took shape, the Bright Moon Pearl radiated a radiant light, illuminating the sky above Ruoshui Palace like daylight. It was as if announcing the appearance of someone who would one day radiate fame throughout the Nine Provinces.

Damn, the special effects of the male lead are so good. When can we arrange such special effects for him?

A strange phenomenon suddenly occurred in Ruoshui Palace, and people from various sects rushed there.

Mu Jiulin was anxious and grabbed Ye Nanque's wrist: "Brother, let's go back and talk."

Ye Nanque didn't react at all, his eyes fixed on the image in the Moon Pearl, muttering to himself, "Why is it you?"

Mu Jiulin: "Time is urgent, come back with me, brother."

Of course Ye Nanque did not go back with him. He grabbed Mu Jiulin's wrist with his other hand and stared at him in a stalemate. Even though his voice sounded so gentle, it could not hide the complex emotions that surged out of him.

"Junior Brother Mu, why... that person is you? Why is it you? Haven't you... only been in the sect for a few months? How could it be you..."

Mu Jiulin was tripped by the confusion, bewilderment, and entanglement in Ye Nanque's eyes... as well as the unspeakable shame and jealousy.

In a panic, Mu Jiulin said hastily: "Brother, I don't care about these."

The scene fell silent for a moment. After a moment, Ye Nanque sneered, "Ah, so you don't care..."

He doesn't care at all, but can easily get what the original owner wants. No wonder the original owner is so jealous.

He realized that what he said was very harsh from Ye Nanque's perspective, but time was pressing and Mu Jiulin couldn't afford to make amends now. When they returned, when they had time, he would definitely explain it to Ye Nanque.

Without saying a word, he grabbed Ye Nanque's wrist and walked out, but his way was blocked by the elders from various sects who had rushed over.

The group of people blocked the two of them and made it impossible for them to escape.

Elder Xuanzong was not angry at all; he seemed rather overjoyed. He looked at the two of them and asked, "Which of you used the Bright Moon Pearl just now?"

Neither Ye Nanque nor Mu Jiulin said anything.

Thinking they were afraid of being punished, Elder Xuanzong said patiently, "At your age, it's normal for you to be playful. No one will punish you for this. Just tell me, who tested your spiritual roots just now?"

Hearing that he would not be punished, Mu Jiulin was obviously relieved. He turned his head to look at Ye Nanque. Ye Nanque still looked dazed, with empty eyes, and it seemed that he could not say anything at the moment.

Mu Jiulin stepped forward and said, "Senior, I'm sorry. We didn't mean tonight..."

Jiang Caiyu stepped into the palace under the moonlight, arriving late, her white clothes whiter than snow.

Ye Nanque's gaze fell on him, and for a moment he seemed a little at a loss, but it was only for a moment, like an illusion.

"We didn't mean to be abrupt tonight. We just wanted to relax..."

Mu Jiulin was still talking, but was interrupted by Ye Nanque who stood up in an instant: "It's me."

"It's me." Ye Nanque looked at Jiang Caiyu and emphasized: "The person who was diagnosed with dual spiritual roots tonight is me."

Mu Jiulin was stunned, turned his head stiffly and looked at him slowly.

Jiang Caiyu remained calm, showing no signs of joy or other emotions. From a distance, he simply looked at Ye Nanque with cold and calm eyes, as usual.

However, the others looked happy.

"It's Ye Nanque from the Yu Jian Sect." "Then I won the bet, right?" "Elder Fang, did you place your bet as well?" "Excuse me, excuse me."

Amidst the laughter and cheers, Wu Zong's leader, Pei Feng, stared at Ye Nanque and said, "Seeing is believing. To dispel everyone's doubts, why don't you test it again in public?"

Ye Nanque nodded hesitantly, pretending to be calm as he walked towards Mingyuezhu. When he passed by Mu Jiulin, he gently rubbed his hand with his fingertips and quickly took a drop of blood.

Mu Jiulin stood with his head down. He clearly felt what he had done but he didn't expose him in public.

Pei Feng spoke again: "Ye Nanque, what's on your fingertips?"

Ye Nanque's whole body stiffened and he stood still.

Pei Feng sneered: "It's just a trivial trick. Why don't I help you?"

A thread of poisonous insect flew out from his hand and rubbed against the side of Ye Nanque's face. Ye Nanque felt a pain on his face and when he touched it with his hand, he found that it was bleeding.

His blood bead followed the Gu thread forward and was sent into the Moon Pearl.

Just an ordinary single spiritual root.

Tsk, even though this is a face-slapping plot, there's no need to actually cut his face, right? He still wants to make a living by relying on his face.

Ye Nanque was very unhappy, and this unhappiness made him look even more angry and embarrassed.

Xuanzong Elder: "!!... Ye Nanque, didn't you just say that you had experienced the discovery of dual spiritual roots? How could this be? How dare you deliberately lie?"

The tone gradually became stern.

Pei Feng shifted his pace: "Throughout history, there have always been those who seek fame and glory, but I never thought that the Sword Controlling Sect would produce such a disciple."

System: [Lights up character tag: Seeking fame and reputation.]

Ye Nanque pointed at his finger: [That's very bad.]

System: [That's bad.]

The admiring looks from the people around him turned into contempt. Ye Nanque was filled with shame and anger, gritting his teeth.

Jiang Caiyu slowly spoke: "Master Pei, everyone has a wrong thought."

Pei Feng snorted and ignored Jiang Caiyu, turning his attention to Mu Jiulin: "So, the one with dual spiritual roots is you."

He used the same trick again, and the poisonous silk flew quickly towards Mu Jiulin, but Mu Jiulin suddenly raised his eyes and caught it in his palm. He looked straight at Pei Feng without any fear.

Pei Feng's face under the veil was full of excitement. He had to say that he liked Mu Jiulin's eyes: "Don't overestimate your own abilities."

The Gu thread went straight through the palm of Mu Jiulin's hand, and the Gu thread that came out of his palm turned from white to red, transporting Mu Jiulin's blood into the Mingyue Pearl.

The scene just now appeared again. Under the bright light rising into the sky, the shapes of two spiritual roots appeared in the Mingyue Pearl.

Elder Xuanzong exclaimed, "It's you! You are the one with the true dual spiritual roots!"

There is no need to emphasize the word "real"!

Everyone's eyes were focused on Mu Jiulin, even Jiang Caiyu was no exception.

Someone recognized Mu Jiulin.

"Oh, isn't this the young man who broke through the realm of Jun Luoheng last time?"

"No wonder, he is the only one in Jiuzhou Continent with dual spiritual roots. Only then can he surpass Luo Heng Zhenren at such a young age. He is indeed a young and promising person."

"Jiang Xianzun, your Yu Jian Sect is truly full of talented people."

Ye Nanque stood quietly aside, secretly complaining that this world of cultivation looked quite like a world of fame and fortune, where the stars at the center of the world of fame and fortune were held high, but once a new star appeared, those hands would quickly withdraw and move on to the new rising star.

He was the old star that was falling, while Mu Jiulin was the rising star. The setting of him and Mu Jiulin was really easy to be placed at opposite ends.

It’s not over yet.

Ye Nanque knew that tonight’s story was not over yet, and the real fun had just begun.

Sure enough, Pei Feng's eyes rolled and he raised his voice: "But why does this dual spiritual root look so strange?"

After his reminder, everyone turned their eyes to the Moon Pearl.

The weak spiritual root in the Moon Pearl emitted a faint purple light.

Purple spiritual roots are unique in the world and have never been recorded among the spiritual roots of cultivators.

Elder Xuanzong's expression changed and he thought of a possibility.

Demon, a demon spiritual root that has cultivated to the Tao.

The cultivation methods of demons and humans are different. Demons do not need spiritual roots and are naturally the carriers of cultivation. However, some demons try to practice the right way and cultivate the same spiritual roots as human cultivators.

This is the demon spirit root.

The reason why demon spiritual roots are rare is that great demons with such ideas, perseverance and talent are rare.

Elder Xuanzong was just hesitating whether to speak out when someone in the crowd shouted, "It's a demonic spirit root!"

Helplessly, the Xuanzong elder could only respond, "Yes, this is a demonic spirit root. Immortal friend Jiang, would you mind explaining the origins of this disciple of yours?"

Jiang Caiyu certainly knew Mu Jiulin's background, but he was absolutely unaware that Mu Jiulin had demonic roots. Otherwise, he would not have allowed Mu Jiulin to come to Fancheng and reveal his identity.

He said lightly, "I picked it up and took it in as my disciple because it seemed suitable for cultivation. Jiulin, Nanque, let's go back."

Pei Feng said with a simple move: "Demon spirit roots are not something that human cultivators can possess."

The crowd was agitated: "That's right, Jiang Xianzun, if that's the case, then isn't your disciple a demon?"

Others complained earnestly, "How could you be so careless in accepting a disciple? You actually accepted a demon."

The situation changed quickly, but Mu Jiulin understood what those people said. They said they were monsters.

He's a demon? How could he be a demon?

He looked at Ye Nanque blankly, as if expecting him to give him an answer.

But Ye Nanque was too far away from him. In the chaos just now, they were separated by the crowd. He tried hard to see through the many figures, but he could not see Ye Nanque's eyes clearly.

"So noisy." Jiang Caiyu finally frowned: "What does it have to do with you that I accept you as a disciple? If you are not convinced, come and fight."

...He knew it! He knew Jiang Caiyu only knew this trick.

But it really works. After Jiang Caiyu said this, the hall suddenly became quiet.

Pei Feng said, "It's not a question of fighting or not, it's just...Fellow Immortal Jiang, do you remember that one of the rules of your Yu Jian Sect is to only accept human cultivators? Does Sect Leader You know that you've accepted a disciple like this?"
