Bei Ming sneered inwardly.
He said, "How could a small cultivation family like the Su family be so lucky as to produce a genius with dual spiritual roots?"
“Three spiritual roots,” Bei Ming said. “Our Xuanling Sect is a major sect, and those with three spiritual roots probably won’t be able to enter the inner sect. However, it doesn’t matter. If you cultivate diligently outside, you will have a chance to enter the inner sect in the future.”
Bei Ming said this, but in his heart he sneered, "Three spiritual roots? Want to enter the inner sect? Dream on!"
Su Yingcheng was heartbroken; his spot as an inner disciple had been gone just like that.
However, he had been the head of the family for many years and knew how to make choices.
If we don't seize this opportunity, the Su family members may not be able to enter the outer sect of the Xuanling Sect in the future.
"It's alright, it's alright. My daughter is very hardworking, so even if she's an outer disciple, it doesn't matter. As for whether she can enter the inner sect, that depends on her own fate," Su Yingcheng quickly said.
"Someone, go and fetch Su Qing!" Su Yingcheng said.
A short while later, Su Qing walked in.
Su Qing's biological mother was a beauty chosen by the Su family. Although she was a mortal, she was stunningly beautiful, and Su Qing resembled her mother by seven or eight points.
At this moment, she was wearing a lotus-white dress. She was already tall and slender, and a yellow belt made her waist look extremely thin.
Her hair was styled in a simple, girlish way, with a simple water lily on her head, which accentuated her delicate little face.
Bei Ming recalled Su Ruoshan's sickly state a few days ago, and then looked at the girl in front of him with such energy and spirit, and felt that the Su family was not bad after all.
"Su Qing greets Martial Uncle Beiming." Su Qing bowed, her voice melodious and pleasant.
Beiming nodded slightly.
Although he only has the aptitude of three spiritual roots, his appearance suggests he is a promising talent.
"This is my daughter, Su Qing. She has three spiritual roots: wood, fire, and metal. Although she only has three spiritual roots, she is quick to understand and can endure hardship," Su Yingcheng said.
However, Bei Ming did not immediately believe Su Yingcheng's words.
He took out a crystal ball, and immediately yellow and purple colors appeared inside, shimmering and very beautiful.
This means that Bei Ming has the aptitude of having both fire and earth spiritual roots. It has to be said that the Xuanling Sect is that strong; eight or nine out of ten inner disciples have dual spiritual roots.
Bei Ming beckoned to Su Qing and said, "Su Qing, come here and hold this crystal ball."
Su Qing walked over, reached out her hand, and took it.
Soon, three colors appeared in the crystal ball: white, red, and green. The three colors intertwined and filled the entire crystal ball.
Bei Ming was quite satisfied.
Although he only has three spiritual roots, the wood, fire, and metal roots are all very pure. If he cultivates diligently, he can still achieve great things.
"Alright, ten days from now is the grand opening ceremony of our Xuanling Sect, and also the big day for us to accept disciples. Su Qing, just bring this, and someone will come out to guide you." Bei Ming said, tossing a wooden token to Su Qing. Clearly, this wooden token was the Xuanling Sect's token.
Su Yingcheng finally breathed a long sigh of relief after seeing Bei Ming off.
"Father, do you want me to join the Xuanling Sect?" Su Qing asked knowingly.
Su Yingcheng patted Su Qing on the shoulder and said, "Yes! Su Qing, now that you've entered the Xuanling Sect, you must cultivate diligently. This is an opportunity that only came about because your grandfather knew Elder Xiang of the Xuanling Sect, so you must cherish it. Alas, your elder sister is disappointing; she has such excellent talent, yet she has wasted it."
Su Qing scoffed inwardly, but on her face she showed a worried expression and said, "Father, I don't know how my elder sister's illness is."
At this moment, Su Ruoshan was lying in bed. Her face was still pale, but she was in good spirits.
Her experience as a demonic cultivator in her previous life came in handy now. She meticulously drew a talisman with her own blood essence—a talisman for serious illness.
If you stick a talisman for serious illness on your body, your body will naturally weaken, as if you are about to die.
What makes this talisman different from all the talismans of the major sects is that drawing this talisman does not require one's own spiritual power, but rather blood.
That's right, demonic cultivators don't cultivate spiritual power, but blood.
Therefore, demonic cultivators are sometimes also called blood demons.
Those with pure demonic blood are born to be great demon kings, while ordinary people who want to cultivate demonic power need to drink blood.
Absorbing the blood of demonic beasts, monsters, and even cultivators and demonic cultivators can enhance one's bloodline.
Su Ruoshan's cultivation was destroyed back then, and she gradually embarked on the path of demonic cultivation by sucking blood.
Drawing talismans requires wood-attribute spiritual power, while Su Ruoshan possesses metal and fire spiritual power, so naturally she cannot draw talismans.
But demonic cultivators have another method, which is to rely on blood.
Su Ruoshan currently only has ordinary blood and no talent for drawing talismans. Despite expending a large amount of her essence and blood, she has only managed to draw the most basic critical illness talisman, and this talisman is only effective for a short time, lasting only one day.
Su Ruoshan is still looking listless, which is simply a side effect of excessive blood loss.
Ling Wanrou was beaten black and blue, and Su Yingcheng later punched and kicked her.
If she hadn't been at the Qi Refining stage, she probably wouldn't have been able to withstand it.
Ling Wanrou looked at Su Ruoshan with heartache by the bedside, her eyes filled with tears.
"Ruoshan, your father has already made Su Qing join the Xuanling Sect. You have no way out now." Ling Wanrou said, crying. She never expected that her daughter would use such a method to refuse to join the Xuanling Sect.
Although she was somewhat swayed by Su Ruoshan's words, she still felt deep down that a large sect like Xuanling Sect was better.
“Mother, the Xuanling Sect is really nothing special. The Yunjian Sect is where I belong,” Su Ruoshan said. “I’ll have Father get the token from Su Qing. I want to go to the Yunjian Sect.”
Hearing the voices inside, Su Yingcheng was still furious and kicked the door open with a bang.
"You're utterly useless!" Su Yingcheng looked at Su Ruoshan. If it weren't for the fact that this daughter was the legitimate daughter and possessed such excellent aptitude as dual spiritual roots, he would have wanted to punch her to death.
"Father, I beg you, please let me join the Cloud Sword Sect! I'm sure I can achieve great things in the Cloud Sword Sect and won't bring shame to the Su family." Su Ruoshan sat up.
Alas, she has lost too much blood; she is still feeling dizzy.
Her blood was so bad that it took her five attempts to draw the most ordinary talisman successfully; she probably used up half of her blood on it.
Su Yingcheng snorted coldly and said, "Su Qing, give her the token!"
Su Qing hesitated and dawdled, unwilling to take out the token.
“Su Qing, you’re about to join the Xuanling Sect, so give her this token from the Yunjian Sect,” Su Yingcheng said.
Su Qing then took out the token, still looking reluctant.
The token given by Zhao Qingfan of the Cloud Sword Sect was a piece of jade, a warm and lustrous piece of Hetian jade.
The words "Cloud Sword Sect" were engraved on the smooth jade.
It's clearly carved with a sword, and you can faintly feel the sword intent within it.
As soon as Su Ruoshan saw the token, she tried to snatch it, but Su Qing took a step back and dodged it.
"What, you've already joined the Xuanling Sect, are you still going to cling to the Yunjian Sect's token?" Su Ruoshan asked, glaring at Su Qing.
Su Qing looked at Su Yingcheng and said, "Father, although I am only your illegitimate daughter, I am about to join the Xuanling Sect. Can you pass on the Su family's cultivation method to me?"
