Compared to Bai Di's grievance and resentment, Bai Yanfeng was even more agitated. He roared, "I knew it would end like this! That Bai Ying has always been stingy. She swore before that she would return the spiritual root to our Bai family, but in reality, she's just a petty person! How could she do such a thing? She doesn't want Xiao Di to use her spiritual root, but I'm going to make sure Xiao Di gets to use it!"
Bai Yanfeng's words made Bai Di's eyes light up instantly.
"Brother, is it really okay?"
"Of course," Bai Yanfeng said as if he had made up his mind. "If I give you half of my blood, won't you then possess the bloodline of the Bai family? Bai Ying never imagined that her spiritual root would ultimately belong to you. Xiao Di, you will definitely be as strong as Bai Ying in the future!"
Bai Di smiled and nodded, then looked at the elder who had become mentally impaired.
No one at the scene knew that she actually knew a technique that allowed her to take over someone else's cultivation level.
However, her aptitude was too poor before, so she was unable to use this kind of technique.
Now that she possesses Bai Ying's spiritual root, she is no longer restricted.
At this moment, she looked at the Grand Elder with a slight smile on her face.
In the future, she will not only be as strong as Bai Ying, but she will be even stronger than Bai Ying!
She will not only possess Bai Ying's spiritual root, but also the Grand Elder's power. She will become the most outstanding young generation in the entire Lingchuan Continent. She wants everyone to look up to her with reverence!

Within the psychedelic space, Bai Ying was completely isolated from the noise of the outside world, immersing herself entirely in cultivation.
She circulated her spiritual energy day and night, focusing on cultivation. Time flew by like a white horse galloping past a crack in the wall, and in the blink of an eye, a hundred years had passed.
When she opened her eyes and walked out of the psychedelic space, Qi Haoyuan and the others had been waiting for her for a long time.
Qi Haoyuan looked at Bai Ying and felt that her entire demeanor had changed a lot.
Now she is as composed as an ancient pine tree that has weathered a thousand years of wind and rain, and every gesture she makes exudes a mysterious charm that is hard to fathom.
After all, they only had a year in the outside world. But for Bai Ying, a century had passed.
"Bai Ying, you're finally out!" Qi Haoyuan strode forward, his face beaming with a warm smile. He used his divine sense to assess Bai Ying's cultivation level and said, "You've reached the late Nascent Soul stage."
Bai Ying nodded.
Qi Haoyuan couldn't help but admire her, "She truly lives up to her reputation as Bai Ying."
In just a hundred years, he cultivated from the mid-Nascent Soul stage to the late-Nascent Soul stage.
After all, every step forward after reaching the Nascent Soul stage is extremely difficult. It took him at least two hundred years to cultivate from the mid-Nascent Soul stage to the late stage. Bai Ying, on the other hand, only took a hundred years to achieve the same result.
Qi Haoyuan was unaware that Bai Ying's cultivation speed was more than ten times slower than theirs; otherwise, he would have been so shocked that his jaw would have dropped.
Bai Ying asked Qi Haoyuan, "Elder Qi, are there any places on the Lingchuan Continent where one can obtain abundant resources?"
In this psychedelic space, Bai Ying used up all her reserves.
She currently needs a great many spirit stones and herbs, and she urgently needs to find these materials in preparation for her breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage.
Qi Haoyuan quickly said to Bai Ying:
"I've been waiting for you to emerge from seclusion precisely because of this matter. A secret treasure recently appeared on our Lingchuan Continent, and I intend to invite you, along with elite disciples from our sect and our friendly sects, to go there together."
The secret treasure mentioned by Qi Haoyuan was born in Cangmang Mountain and is known to the world as the Cangmang Mountain Secret Treasure.
“This secret treasure should be the cultivation residence of a senior. It should contain a large number of spirit stones, spirit herbs, pills and various magic treasures left by this senior during his lifetime. However, only cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage can participate in this secret treasure, so I would like to invite you to bring our sect’s disciples.”
Upon hearing this, Bai Ying's eyes flashed with delight. This was undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for her to acquire a large amount of resources. If she could successfully find what she needed in the secret treasure, her chances of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage would be much greater.
"good!"
Upon hearing Bai Ying's reply, Qi Haoyuan's expression immediately relaxed.
He had initially worried that the secret treasure was dangerous and would cause heavy losses to the younger generation of his sect, but now that Bai Ying was leading the team, he immediately felt relieved.
Qi Haoyuan let Bai Ying rest for a while, and then immediately led her to a group of young cultivators.
Qi Haoyuan's expression was solemn as he slowly swept his gaze over the crowd. He said loudly, "This journey to the hidden treasure in Cangmang Mountain will be fraught with peril, and we may encounter many unpredictable dangers. You must work together to overcome these difficulties." His voice was deep and powerful, echoing in the open space and making everyone's hearts tighten.
Although most of the young cultivators of the Lingyin Sect had never met Bai Ying, they had long heard of her reputation and knew of her extraordinary strength. Therefore, they looked at Bai Ying with a hint of respect and nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
However, the disciples from other sects looked on with resentment.
Those chosen to participate in this secret journey are all outstanding figures in their respective sects, who consider themselves the chosen ones of heaven. How could they easily submit to a girl who looks no more than a teenager with a youthful face?
Out of respect for the authority of their masters, the disciples outwardly maintained impeccable manners and showed great deference. However, once they turned away, they began whispering and gossiping amongst themselves.
"I really don't understand what the masters are thinking. I was really looking forward to a powerful figure leading the team, but look at her, she's clearly just a little girl who hasn't been weaned yet. How much ability can she have? It's so disappointing."
"That's right. They didn't even pick a reliable and strong person to lead the team. I think Bai Ying might have gotten in through connections. Who knows what kind of shady dealings are going on behind the scenes."
At this moment, a well-informed disciple approached mysteriously and said:
"Have you heard? The Bai family in Qingyan Town has recently produced a super genius named Bai Di. In just one year, she has soared from the Foundation Establishment stage to the mid-Nascent Soul stage. Such talent is simply astonishing. Now, all the major sects are vying to take her as their disciple. In my opinion, only a monstrous talent like Bai Di is qualified to lead a team. This Bai Ying is not worth mentioning at all."
