"Sect Master Fang, where is this place...?"
"My secret realm. While the spiritual energy here is abundant, those of you who are injured should quickly meditate and recuperate, lest you die in my secret realm later."
After answering Yun Ni's question, Fang Ruotang immediately summoned Gu Yanjin and the other six people over.
She didn't know if these people would join her Tianyi Sect in the future, or if they would have the chance to come to her secret realm again. In any case, she didn't want them to know where her cave was, so the place where she stayed was a bit far away from the cave where Gu Yanjin and the others were staying.
Gu Yanjin and his group of six arrived as quickly as possible, accompanied by Fang Zhili and Tao Su, whom Fang Ruotang had simply left around them.
After all, Fang Ruotang didn't really trust their ability to survive on their own. If they died in her secret realm, that would be a real problem.
Although the secret realm was closely connected to her, she might not have been able to concentrate during the thrilling and dangerous situation outside.
Are you alright?
The eight people surrounded Fang Ruotang.
Originally, Fan and Da Mei, who were on par with the left and right protectors, were pushed aside.
The two glared angrily at the eight people, but when they finally met each other's eyes, they gave each other a dismissive snort and turned to look in the other direction.
"I'm fine! I'm perfectly alright! It's just that there were a lot of casualties outside." Fang Ruotang frowned. She didn't have time to drag all the people scattered on the ground to the secret realm.
By the time the tribulation lightning ends and they go out, those people will probably already be ashes.
"I'm so glad you're alright! You've done a great job saving so many people."
Gu Yanjin knew Fang Ruotang quite well, so when she frowned, she guessed most of what Fang Ruotang was thinking.
Fang Ruotang said with some sympathy, "Actually, those disciples lying outside are the most innocent cannon fodder. Their realm is too low, their cultivation is too weak, and they may not even know what happened to them. They just lost their lives for nothing."
“Everyone has their own destiny, and we can’t control that. You’ve already done a great job saving these hundred or so people today.”
Cui Shixu also joined in the persuasion, and the other four were not far behind. Even Fang Zhili and Tao Su chimed in.
Fang Ruotang interrupted them, both amused and exasperated.
"Alright! I didn't say anything wrong. Looking at all of you, do you think I'm stupid? How could I blame myself for those people's deaths?"
Within her capabilities, she will save as many as she can, but beyond those capabilities, she certainly won't interfere.
Just like now, the tribulation lightning came quickly and suddenly. She wouldn't be foolish enough to go head-to-head with the Heavenly Dao. In order to save the lives of so many people, she let Jin Huaixu successfully pass the tribulation.
She was just a normal person who felt a pang of sadness seeing so many people die. She wasn't some kind of demon, so how could she stand by and watch thousands of people die right under her nose without doing anything?
"What do we do now?"
Fang Ruotang was a little worried; she couldn't let all these people stay in her space.
It's unclear what these people are thinking, but with her two spirit beasts and one spirit pet watching them like this, they've all behaved themselves. Perhaps they're injured, which is why they're all sitting in meditation so obediently.
"What are your thoughts?" Gu Yanjin asked instead of answering.
Fang Ruotang picked at her fingers, then laughed awkwardly, "I wonder if the spiritual roots of those people from the Cloud Sword Sect will still be usable after being struck by lightning?"
"This..." Gu Yanjin was stumped.
He wanted to see what Fang Ruotang thought, and then they would offer their opinions and try to do things according to her wishes.
But after the tribulation lightning strikes during the tribulation stage, those ordinary cultivators probably won't even leave behind a handful of ashes, let alone any spiritual roots.
"This is all I need right now! I've been thinking about it, and I still think it's best to get all my relatives and friends around me into good spiritual roots as soon as possible so they can all cultivate quickly."
Fang Ruotang opened her clear, large eyes and spoke with utmost seriousness.
Gu Yanjin and the others nodded upon hearing this, indicating that they would definitely cooperate fully.
At this moment, Little Mirror let out a strange, loud cry.
My lord, my lord, there has been a discovery, a major discovery!
【What?】
As Fang Ruotang replied, she opened up her heart to Gu Yanjin and the other six.
I just looked up Jin Huaixu, and guess what I found?
Fang Ruotang rolled her eyes and gave the order in an annoyed tone.
Are you itching for a beating again? Tell me quickly.
It turns out that Jin Huaixu received the inheritance of an evil god, and within that inheritance lay a secret method for extracting spiritual roots.
"Can't I do that too?" Fang Ruotang didn't quite understand. What was so surprising about that?
No! It means, for example, your second brother has two spiritual roots. You can extract the extra one.
[What? After extraction, it becomes a single spiritual root?]
【yes!】
Fang Ruotang's emotions surged instantly, but Gu Yanjin and the other six sensed something was amiss.
If it's so powerful, why don't they use this secret technique? Why are they still eyeing their disciples' good spiritual roots?
Gu Yanjin's words calmed Fang Ruotang down.
Ye Wuxia then shared his guess.
[Is it a matter of upper limit? The reason why a single spiritual root is powerful is because its upper limit is high! All of a person's potential is focused on that one spiritual root. But if someone has two or more spiritual roots, then their potential is distributed. So even if someone with two spiritual roots extracts one to become a single spiritual root, they will only be faster at the beginning of their cultivation. Later on, they will likely find it difficult to break through, let alone catch up with someone with a true single spiritual root.]
"Is that so? Let me take a closer look." After hearing Ye Wuxia's analysis, the little mirror immediately went back to the Mirror of Recall.
He couldn't help but share this method of extracting spiritual roots with Fang Ruotang as soon as he saw it, without paying much attention to the other details.
While searching for answers in the small mirror, Fang Ruotang and Ye Wuxia, along with the other six, communicated.
That being said, if I had a way to raise the upper limit of my spiritual roots, wouldn't that perfectly solve the problem?
Cui Shixu chuckled softly, his gentle tone carrying a hint of coaxing a child.
If that were truly the case, why bother extracting extra spiritual roots? Wouldn't mastering two spells be stronger than mastering just one?
Fang Ruotang blushed from the laughter and glared at Cui Shixu reproachfully.
Considering that she can control any element, she really is even more impressive.
The same bucket of water with multiple colors will not contain as much water as a single color, which is why having multiple spiritual roots is not as good as having a single spiritual root.
I feel like I shouldn't have thought about changing my family members' spiritual roots. I should have thought about how to increase the upper limit of mixed spiritual roots, since that seems to make them stronger.
After Fang Ruotang expressed her thoughts, she looked at Cui Shixu and the other six with some anticipation, clearly hoping that they would agree with her.
But even though all six of them were intelligent, when they met Fang Ruotang's gaze, they could only smile helplessly, without showing the slightest sign of approval.
