Qi Yu's lips curled up as she looked at Liu Xing, who was diligently flipping through several cultivation manuals, and said softly, "Liu Xing, do you want to know why, no matter how hard you try, you haven't been able to draw Qi into your body for the past month or so?"
Meteor suddenly raised her head, her eyes trembling as she asked, "What do you mean by that, Senior Sister? Isn't it because I only have five spiritual roots?"
"Then tell me, am I a five-elemental-root?" Qi Yu asked leisurely.
Meteor hesitated, recalling Qi Yu's fierce performance in the manual.
Qi Yu gently stroked Liu Xing's head, tidying his stray hairs, and said, "If you trust your senior sister, I will help you guide your Qi into your body, and even help you become a cultivator like me. Are you willing to give it a try?"
If I could become someone like my senior sister, wouldn't that mean...?
Meteor's eyes flickered, and she asked in a low voice, "Why did you help me, Senior Sister?"
"I'm not helping you for nothing. I need you. Promise me one thing."
"What are the conditions?"
Qi Yu's pale lips parted slightly, and she spoke slowly and deliberately:
“Sign a master-servant contract with me.”
Meteor paused, and after a long while, he finally said, "Senior Sister..."
Qi Yu interrupted him and said, "Of course, after I help you guide your Qi into your body, we will sign a contract. The master-servant contract does not mean that I will definitely treat you as a servant. It just means that you need to listen to me at critical moments and do or not do certain things."
"Why does Senior Sister need a shooting star...?"
Qi Yu smiled and said, "Your senior sister has high hopes for you. I believe you will become a great person in the future, so this is an investment in advance."
Meteor hung his head, his mind filled with images of Senior Sister Yu slaughtering everyone and his parents being brutally murdered by the Blood Fiend Sect.
When Sister Yu was tidying his hair, the skin she touched was still slightly warm.
Meteor raised her eyes and said firmly, "Senior sister, I'm willing!"
Qi Yu nodded with satisfaction.
Feng Xiao concealed himself and sat on a chair next to the two, his crimson eyes gleaming with displeasure as he stared intently at the shooting star.
I wonder what Qi Yu saw in this kid.
Is he not good enough?!
Seemingly sensing that she was being watched by an unknown creature, Qi Yu glanced strangely in Feng Xiao's direction.
Feng Xiao witnessed the entire process of tricking the minor villain, which was somewhat embarrassing.
Qi Yu tried her best to ignore the intense gaze and said seriously to Liu Xing, "Now, your senior sister will help you guide your Qi into your body. You may find this method strange, but if you want to embark on the path of cultivation, this is an essential step."
Meteor looked intently at Qi Yu and said, "I believe in Senior Sister."
Qi Yu said, "If I'm not mistaken, the reason you can't draw qi into your body is not because you lack talent or comprehension, but because you're too good."
“How can five spiritual roots be considered good…” Meteor lowered his head in disappointment.
"The Flying Star Sect doesn't recognize a gem in a rough stone. They mistook you for a rock. Don't really think that way." Qi Yu smiled and shook his head. "Once I've figured you out properly, you'll know whether you're a rock or a beautiful gem."
Meteor was both moved and incredulous by Qi Yu's words.
Because of his five spiritual roots, he had been subjected to countless scornful looks for the past month, and he dared not believe that he was the unpolished jade that Senior Sister Yu had described.
Seeing that he still looked self-conscious, Qi Yu said nothing more.
She took out a bottle of her own refined Grade 7 Rejuvenation Pill from her storage ring, handed it to Liuxing, and said, "I will attack you with spiritual power later. Don't be afraid. I will control the intensity. If you can't take it, take the medicine, okay?"
Meteor took the Rejuvenation Pill, puzzled, but still, as he had said, wholeheartedly trusted Qi Yu.
Seeing that he was obedient, Qi Yu nodded in satisfaction. "Your spiritual root is special. You need to absorb enough spiritual energy attacks from others to activate your spiritual root. Activating all five spiritual roots in one day would be too much of a burden for you. Let's start with the fire spiritual root."
A red spiritual energy shone from Qi Yu's hand as he asked, "Are you ready?"
The meteor nodded.
Qi Yu then controlled her spiritual power and struck him.
She didn't use much force in that attack, but it was still difficult for a mortal to withstand.
Meteor let out a painful groan, and a trickle of blood instantly flowed from the corner of his mouth.
He quickly wiped the bloodstains away with his sleeve and said, "Senior sister, let's continue."
Without hesitation, Qi Yu swiftly unleashed two more bursts of spiritual energy.
Meteor swayed, then knelt on the ground, the porcelain bottle in her hand rolling away with a clatter.
Qi Yu frowned as she picked up the porcelain bottle, poured out a Rejuvenation Pill, and stuffed it into Liu Xing's mouth.
The blood from the corner of Meteor's mouth smeared onto Qi Yu's hand, leaving a noticeable red stain.
Unable to sit still any longer, Feng Xiao went over, took Qi Yu's hand, and used a handkerchief from his pocket to wipe away the bloodstains.
He did not appear, so to others it seemed that Qi Yu's hand was inexplicably raised, and the blood on his hand miraculously disappeared.
Meteor was too preoccupied with the immense pain she was enduring to notice this small detail.
Qi Yu looked down as the blood on the back of her hand was wiped clean, and subtly felt a strange emotion.
It's really strange. She hasn't done anything yet, so why is Feng Xiao acting like she's his possession and getting jealous on his own?
What gave him this illusion?
Her right hand was gently lowered, and Qi Yu casually helped Liu Xing up, asking, "Are you alright? Do you feel anything wrong?"
The Rejuvenation Pill took effect, and the pain in her body lessened somewhat. Meteor took a deep breath and said, "Senior Sister, let's continue."
Qi Yu then struck again, stuffing a Rejuvenation Pill into Liu Xing's mouth. This was repeated for about fifteen minutes. Liu Xing, still dazed, was struck again and finally coughed up a mouthful of blood, completely losing consciousness.
"hiss……"
Qi Yu helped Liu Xing onto the wooden bed and looked at him with a headache.
She estimated for a while how much spiritual energy she had been attacked to activate her spiritual root, and realized that Meteor was still far from fully activating a spiritual root.
Back then, she at least had a saintly aura, which greatly enhanced her physical recovery. However, Meteor was a genuine mortal, and the Rejuvenation Pill she concocted was not as effective as the miraculous pill that Venerable Canglang gave her. It was normal that Meteor couldn't withstand it.
Feng Xiao appeared beside Qi Yu with his arms crossed, and said coldly, "You won't die, so why waste time like this?"
Qi Yu rolled her eyes at him and said, "Who said he wouldn't die? And who can rise from the ashes like you? I still have a use for him."
Feng Xiao hesitated for a moment, then said, "What use is he? Am I not good enough for you?"
Qi Yu raised an eyebrow slightly, "You are different from him."
She doesn't know what role Feng Xiao plays in the book yet, so she'll leave that aside for now.
However, she was thinking that the two had different roles, but to Feng Xiao, it seemed to have an additional meaning.
Feng Xiao thought to herself: She said I was different from others, she probably likes me.
