"Why? Is it because you don't like it?" Fang Ruotang asked, puzzled.
"No, the wood element is so good, you can give it to someone else in the future to take care of the spirit herb garden for you. If I take the wood element spirit root, it will be a waste. There are too many trivial matters in the sect, and I may not have time to go to the spirit herb garden."
Fang Ruotang was both amused and exasperated. "Didn't I say I wouldn't think about these things? I only care about what you like. Why are you thinking so much?"
Wuyou lowered her eyes, feeling embarrassed to say some things.
Fang Ruotang treats her sincerely, so she cannot take advantage of her kindness or repay her in kind. She must always consider Fang Ruotang's feelings and treat her affairs as her own to live up to her expectations.
"How about ice magic? I think ice magic is pretty good, and I see that Lu Ling is a magic cultivator, which seems to suit me quite well. Relatively speaking, it's not as tiring."
Fang Ruotang frowned and said disapprovingly, "Just pick one you like. Why are you weighing these options?"
"But I think they're all fine. I don't particularly like or dislike any of them. I just want to pick one that's more convenient."
"Really?" Fang Ruotang looked at Wuyou suspiciously.
Wuyou smiled and said, "Thinking about it, ice-type might be more powerful, and it seems better. I'll stick with ice-type!"
Fang Ruotang glanced at Wuyou and, seeing her expression, knew that she was speaking from the heart, so she went along with her wishes.
"Okay, ice-type it is."
It took Fang Ruotang and Du Zhong three days of combined efforts to save Wuyou.
When she changed her spiritual root, Du Zhong ran away immediately. In his words, he was afraid of being blamed, since he was not favored by the Heavenly Dao.
What if Heaven has some kind of target and, instead of splitting Fang Ruotang, sets its sights on him?
When Fang Ruotang was changing her spiritual root, Du Zhong didn't go far. He wanted to see if things were really calm. Then he discovered that on this day, the sky was clear and the sun was shining on the earth. It was just a little bit away from a rainbow appearing.
"Tsk! Damn it!"
Du Zhong cursed in protest, and a thunderbolt struck him directly, catching him completely off guard and burning him to a crisp.
"Cough, cough!"
"Okay, okay! I know you're still alive."
Du Zhong exhaled a puff of black smoke, feeling completely unwell. His legs trembled, and he struggled to stand.
After all, he was a fragile healer. Using his physical body to withstand a lightning strike without any defense wouldn't kill him, but it would definitely cause serious injury.
Du Zhong felt a burnt smell emanating from him, and he walked away unsteadily.
Fang Ruotang was completely unaware of the entire process.
She was watching intently as she mobilized her spiritual power, feeling the carefree joy of her new spiritual root.
"How are you? Is anything bothering you?"
"No, in fact, it's very good. This is the difference between good and bad spiritual roots, isn't it?"
Previously, when she mobilized her spiritual energy, the energy flowed through her body as fine as needles and threads. Now, it was noticeably thicker and flowed more smoothly.
"Yes, I think so!" Fang Ruotang had absolutely no experience to share in this regard.
"I'm giving you this top-grade Heaven-rank Jade Dew Frost Technique and Jade Dew Glazed Umbrella. It might not be suitable for you to learn these techniques right now. You can start from the easy ones and gradually move to the difficult ones. First, learn some basic techniques in the Scripture Pavilion. Once your cultivation level has improved, you can study these later. If you have any questions, you can spend more time with Lu Ling, since you two share the same attribute."
Fearing she might forget later, Fang Ruotang gave Wuyou this generous gift directly.
"As for this Jade Dew Glazed Umbrella, if you don't like its appearance, you can ask someone from the Weapon Refining Sect to help you redesign it."
Wuyou accepted it with delight, unable to believe that the umbrella she held in her hand, which looked like an ornament, was actually such a powerful weapon.
"No, I like it very much, but... really for me?"
"Here you go! We're good friends, and you've helped me so much, you don't need to be so polite with me."
"No, no, no, it wasn't me who helped you, but you who gave me the opportunity to serve you. You know I've always been grateful to you. If it weren't for you, I would be a pile of dust by now."
If it weren't for Fang Ruotang, her family would have been swallowed up long ago. Back then, in order to protect her family, she was sent to the capital like a piece of merchandise.
It was this move that led to her current success. She has always been grateful to Fang Ruotang. If Fang Ruotang hadn't been a little younger than her, she would have even wanted to treat Fang Ruotang like her second parents.
“Same as above, no difference!” Fang Ruotang laughed heartlessly.
Wuyou said somewhat emotionally, "I'm very happy. I will cultivate diligently in the future and try to stay with you for several hundred more years."
"Okay, it's settled then! I can't live without you, my head housekeeper! Without you, my life would be a complete mess."
Fang Ruotang's words were exaggerated, but Wuyou didn't believe them at all.
Her position was not as important or irreplaceable as Fang Ruotang claimed. It was only because Fang Ruotang gave her the opportunity that she seemed important.
In fact, whether it was Cao Yuedi, or later Cheng Xiaocheng and Wei Ruoyao, they could all replace her, after all, they all came from prominent families.
She was trained as a matriarch from a young age, and managing hundreds of people was no problem for her. Even if the number of people expanded to thousands or tens of thousands, it would not be difficult for her.
In fact, as long as Fang Ruotang is willing to give people a chance, there are plenty of people who would want to do things for her. She is just luckier than those people, but she will not be proud of it or fail to recognize her own position.
"Ah, I need to go to the secret realm and summon them all out, and tell them this good news. They must be very worried about you."
"I'll be with you."
"No need, no need. Take care of yourself."
As Fang Ruotang spoke, she entered the secret realm.
Inside the secret realm, Fang Shengtang and his group had already killed the giant snake. The three of them and the dragon no longer mingled together, mainly because Gu Yanjin didn't want to be caught in the middle of a couple.
Fang Shengtang and Yu Sheng took one path, Gu Yanjin took another, and Fan went to the forbidden area alone, hoping to contact his ancestor.
But the forbidden area didn't react at all. He walked out of that door but couldn't reach the realm of gods. Fan didn't really intend to leave. Seeing that he couldn't find the way he came, he stopped caring.
Sensing that Fang Ruotang had entered the secret realm, he immediately appeared beside her.
"Owner."
"Everything is alright!"
"Everything is fine. The giant serpent has been killed, and no one was seriously injured. They just need to take a Rejuvenation Pill to recover. Now everyone is going their separate ways to train."
“Okay!” Fang Ruotang could sense the location of everyone in the secret realm, and since this secret realm belonged to her, she could directly transmit her thoughts to everyone.
After consulting everyone's opinions, she took Fan out of the secret realm, while the others were left to stay in the secret realm until the day of the sect's grand competition.
