He knew that if he continued questioning, it would probably arouse Xia Chenqing's suspicion.
Jiang Deng had no choice but to suppress his doubts and retorted calmly, "Maybe the rules are wrong?"
Xia Chenqing pondered for a moment, "Being a sword cultivator is very hard."
Jiang Deng curled his lips and smiled, "What a coincidence, I just happen to like to endure hardships."
Xia Chenqing glanced at Lin Jun's corpse, and suddenly changed his mind. "If you have spiritual roots, I can reluctantly give you this opportunity."
As he spoke, Xia Chenqing took out a crystal clear ball from his storage bag and threw it towards Jiang Deng. "Put your consciousness into it, and it will be able to tell whether you have spiritual roots or not."
The qualifications of a cultivator are determined by his spiritual roots. This item is a spirit ball specifically used to test spiritual roots, and is a top-grade yellow-grade spiritual weapon.
After Jiang Deng took the spirit-testing ball, he immediately immersed his consciousness into it. In an instant, the ball was filled with colorful lights and was very lively.
"...Five spiritual roots, useless spiritual roots with the worst qualifications."
Xia Chenqing looked at Jiang Deng with a hint of pity in his eyes.
The properties of spiritual roots are divided into five elements.
The single spiritual root with the best quality is also known as the heavenly spiritual root. The slightly inferior ones are the special spiritual roots derived from the five elements. The next are double spiritual roots, triple spiritual roots, and quadruple spiritual roots. The last five spiritual roots are useless spiritual roots.
Without spiritual roots, it means that one can only be a mortal for the rest of his life.
Five spiritual roots is at best a little better than having no spiritual roots at all, but the benefit is very limited. I'm afraid I won't be able to enter the foundation-building stage in my lifetime. What a pity...
Jiang Deng couldn't help but shake the spirit ball. Is this thing broken?
In her previous life, she had the best natural spiritual roots, single golden spiritual roots! It doesn't make sense that her aptitude in this life is so poor, right?
Looking at Jiang Deng, who was doubting his life, Xia Chenqing comforted him, "Although your aptitude is too poor, I will definitely fulfill my promise to let you join my sect."
The next moment, Lin Jun's body was lifted up by spiritual power and floated in the air, heading towards Xia Chenqing.
"Put him down!"
Jiang Deng immediately recovered from the blow of having his spiritual roots destroyed, and hurried forward to snatch Lin Jun's body from Xia Chenqing.
Lin Jun still had her heavy lightsaber stuck in his forehead!
If she had not been concerned about this person's high level of cultivation and could not easily reveal that the Chongguang Sword was her natal sword, she would have put the Chongguang Sword back into her sea of consciousness long ago.
Xia Chenqing raised his hand to repel Jiang Deng, imprisoned Lin Jun's soul, which was about to dissipate, in his body, and then pulled out the heavy light sword.
It was covered in rust and had many cracks on the blade. It was just an ordinary dagger.
Xia Chenqing threw the heavy light sword towards Jiang Deng and said without any negotiation, "Lin Jun has a rare spiritual root in the world. He can draw energy into his body in three days. He is a rare cultivation genius. You can't let him be slaughtered. I will take him back to the sect for treatment. Whether he can be saved depends entirely on fate."
Jiang Deng caught the Chongguang Sword steadily and stared at Lin Jun's body with cold eyes.
Unfortunately, Xia Chenqing arrived too quickly, and she didn't have time to strangle Lin Jun's soul.
But it doesn't matter. Even if Lin Jun is alive again, just because Lin Jun might be the reincarnation of her eldest disciple, she will kill him as many times as he is resurrected!
Xia Chenqing activated a teleportation talisman, and under the light of the talisman, he and Lin Jun's bodies were instantly teleported away from this place, leaving only his gentle voice in the room.
"In a few days, I will come to Jiang Mansion again to take you back to Taichu Sword Sect. As for these things, I will leave them to you."
A jade slip was carried by spiritual power and brought to Jiang Deng.
Jiang Deng did not take it to check immediately, but thought about Xia Chenqing's words and pondered.
Taichu Sword Sect?
A thousand years ago, the Taichu Sword Sect existed. It ranked second among all the sword sects in the Ten Realms and was undoubtedly a large sect.
Strange... How could such a big sect condescend to do business with mortals?
Jiang Deng stroked her chin, remembering that the Jiang family's business, besides selling weapons they made, was also about mining. If she guessed correctly...
It is very likely that rare treasures are about to be unearthed in one of the Jiang family’s mines!
However, since Xia Chenqing dared to come back in a few days, it means that there is still some time before the treasures of heaven and earth are born, so there is no need to be too anxious.
Now it is more important to seize the time to improve her strength, otherwise even if the treasures of heaven and earth really come to the world, she will not be able to get them.
Jiang Deng first put the spirit-testing ball that Xia Chenqing had forgotten to take away into the storage bag, and then picked up the jade slip and looked at it carefully. The words "Five Elements Kung Fu" appeared on it.
Five Elements Kung Fu?
It is the lowest-level ordinary martial arts technique, and is very common in the Ten Realms. It can be bought in any shop that sells martial arts techniques, but not many people practice this technique.
One reason is that the practitioners of the Five Elements Kung Fu can only be the best losers with five spiritual roots. Another reason is that the popular Five Elements Kung Fu are all incomplete, with only chapters on perfection when practicing to the Foundation Establishment Realm, and this book is no exception.
Jiang Deng's sea of consciousness contained many heavenly-level techniques, but there was nothing suitable for the five spiritual roots. He had no choice but to practice this one as a last resort...
Jiang Deng did it right away. He calmed his mind and began to practice according to the "Five Elements Kung Fu".
Because she possessed a chaotic body, she absorbed spiritual energy at an incredibly fast speed. In an instant, she drained all the spiritual energy from the Jiang Mansion's territory. The speed at which she absorbed spiritual energy was even faster than in her previous life!
It seems that her chaotic body is very compatible with the Five Elements Kung Fu.
However... the spiritual energy passed through the meridians and just gathered in the dantian, it immediately drilled out through the hole in the dantian.
"Um?"
Jiang Deng looked inside her dantian and discovered that not only did she have a useless spiritual root, she also had a useless dantian!
