Lin Ye shook his head, "Of course it is necessary. This stone tablet is no longer usable."
"How much?"
"Two hundred thousand mid-grade spirit stones."
"How many!?"
Two hundred thousand mid-grade spirit stones? That's twenty million low-grade spirit stones. Even if I sell myself, it wouldn't be enough. What a bad luck... It's better to have nothing happen.
She stared at the foot-long, needle-width crack for a long time, her eyes rolling slightly. "Do you have a stone the same color as this stele?"
"What do you want to do?" Helian Mo asked in confusion.
"Mend it, I know a way to repair it without leaving any trace."
Lin Ye's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Second Brother has some. How do you want to replenish it? How much do you need?"
"Just turn it into a powder, enough to fill this gap."
"That should be enough. I'll go find Second Brother to exchange one."
They hurried back and forth, and the three of them were puzzled looking at the hard stone.
Lin Ye lowered his head, "If it were Master, we could break it, but the three of us... let's just forget it."
Yun Dandan scratched his head. "Can the underground fire crack it?"
“I haven’t tried it, but maybe it works.”
The three of them did what they said. After putting the stone tablet into a special bag, they went to borrow the underground fire room and roasted it for a long time before a corner of it broke into pieces.
Yun Dandan stared at the stone in the furnace without blinking, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, if this was made into bricks, it would definitely be very strong, and could be used for sneak attacks without being damaged.
The burning continued until midnight, when the stone finally shattered to pieces at the touch.
"Ha~..., Third Brother, please put the stone tablet out. Remember to place it flat."
Yawning, he carefully filled the gap with the powder. It was soon full, but if you looked closely, there were still gaps.
Reluctantly, he took out a bottle of spiritual milk and mixed the remaining powder into a fine paste. He then began to apply it to the cracks, dried it with the heat of the earth fire, and painted it on top with burnt black charcoal, and finally melted it into one.
"It's done."
"Hmm? What's done?"
Helian Mo opened his hazy eyes and when he saw the brand new stone tablet on the ground, he reached out to touch the place where the crack had been before.
"don't want!"
"Don't touch it, or it will lose its color."
“…”
Lin Ye's brows relaxed and he put it into his bag. "Junior sister, I'll try to send it back. You guys go back first."
"I'll go too. If anything happens, I can help."
"Okay."
The three of them went to the sundry area, handed the bag to Elder Ma, and then waited.
Ma Wei glanced at the stones in the bag, then ticked "borrow" and wrote "return" on the paper.
"Okay, do you have anything else to do?"
"No more, thank you, Elder."
Lin Ye and the other man nervously pulled their junior sister away, and only breathed a sigh of relief after they had walked a long way.
"I was so scared. I didn't expect I could actually pass it."
Lin Ye patted his chest and said, "Junior sister, you are really amazing, otherwise we would have lost everything."
"It's nothing. I hope I won't need this stone tablet in the future."
Helian Mo's mouth twitched slightly, "That may not be possible as you wish. In three months, the sect will hold a competition for outer disciples to test their cultivation."
"Don't panic, brothers. I've already fixed it, and Elder Ma has already checked it out. He said it's fine, and it won't have anything to do with us."
The two of them seemed to agree with what he said, so they stopped talking about it and turned to talk about the test that had just taken place.
"Junior Sister, your spiritual root is not a water spiritual root."
"No? Then does Third Senior Brother know what spiritual roots they are?"
"It's a mutant ice spiritual root, and only this one is deep blue. Its light is so dazzling, and its roots are already full without even needing to be seen. This is an extremely powerful talent."
"Ice Spiritual Root? Then I can look for Ice Flame and then I can make pills."
Lin Ye scratched his head. "That's right, but the Ice Flame hasn't appeared for tens of thousands of years. I don't know where it is, so it's hard to find."
"No clue at all?"
"It's not that there aren't any clues. We need to look for them. We should be able to find clues in the libraries of the major sects, or we can look for them on the black market. However, the authenticity of the information can only be known after verification."
"That's better than nothing. Don't worry, Junior Sister. If I go to the library, I'll help you look up a few more books and check them out."
"Thank you, Fourth Brother."
"And I, too, will help you find out, little junior sister."
"Thank you, Third Brother. It's great to have you."
"Hehe, now that you are able to practice, you can go to the Kung Fu Pavilion to receive a Xuan-level Kung Fu, but if you want to hide it, you won't be able to receive it."
"Is there no other way?"
"Yes, you can buy it on the black market or at an auction house, but the price is... quite expensive."
Yun Dandan lowered her head, looking depressed. She didn't want others to know that her spiritual roots were restored because of the heroine. If she knew, she would definitely be concerned about her spiritual roots, even if they were destroyed now. After all, she had a way to restore her spiritual roots in the future.
It seems that I can only take this opportunity to say that my spiritual roots have recovered, but my spiritual roots are too low.
"Third Brother, there are still more than two months until the Fengyun Secret Realm, right?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"I want to follow you then."
"Well, Junior Sister, we Foundation Establishment disciples won't go."
"Why?"
"It would be too much of a bully if we went there. This is the tacit agreement of the major sects."
"But in the eyes of outsiders, I can't practice cultivation. In that case, I can only ask you to escort me. So you are not going by yourself, but accompanying me."
"Then I'll just say I had a fortuitous encounter in there, and my spiritual roots have recovered, but the root value is too low, so I can barely cultivate."
Helian Mo's eyes widened, "Ah? Is it possible? But you have full ice spirit roots."
'Snap'
Lin Ye slapped him on the head and said, "You are stupid. Junior Sister doesn't want to be exposed. Now others don't know that she is full of spiritual roots. Whatever we say is up to us."
The three of them returned to Ziyun Peak. Yun Dandan's eyes turned slightly and she looked at the two of them with a smile.
"Two senior brothers, it won't be a big deal if I can only use spiritual power to attack the secret realm. You have learned a lot of magic, can you teach me some? I will see if I can learn it, at least I will have some skills to save my life when the time comes."
Lin Ye said: "Junior sister, you have ice spirit roots, and we basically don't have any magic that suits you, but there are two you can learn, and that one doesn't require any attributes."
"Two? Two is fine, teach me quickly."
"OK."
…
At night, a figure was moving back and forth across Ziyun Peak, and it could be seen that it was a beautiful figure.
"This escape technique is quite practical. I like it."
It was not until the second half of the night that the figure walked towards the cave near the foot of the mountain.
Yun Dandan held her trembling legs with both hands and wailed silently. Using up all her spiritual energy was just like extreme running, and she was exhausted.
"Let's practice the spiritual shield tomorrow."
