Chapter 35 A Hot Potato
"nonsense!"
Ye Luo's cheeks flushed red as she angrily retorted. The main reason, however, was a strange sense of shame. She didn't know how to face the situation, so she chose to run away like a coward.
Jun Yi's face brightened with a smile, and he scooped Ye Luo up and sat her on his lap. "Does it still hurt? Let me see."
"No, no, it's all done..."
Seeing his resistance, Jun Yi stopped insisting, kissed his temple and whispered, "If you don't like it, then I won't treat you like that again."
"Okay, it's a deal, no take-backs!"
"Hmm, then... let's try something else."
"???!"
*
To appease Jun Yi, Ye Luo could only cultivate in her cave, but this could be considered a blessing in disguise.
After receiving his careful guidance, Ye Luo not only made rapid progress in his cultivation, but also became much more proficient in talisman formations.
"Hahaha, I've cultivated my Great Divine Guidance Technique to the second level! Aren't I amazing?"
"Hmm, impressive." Jun Yi's eyes showed affection, and he added, "You made the right choice to cultivate a spiritual sense-based technique. Once you master it, you will be much stronger than other cultivators of the same level."
"Really?"
"Drawing talismans, controlling puppets, taming beasts, sword formations, etc., the stronger one's divine sense, the greater the power. Especially when it comes to setting up powerful formations, those with strong divine sense can complete the setup on their own, but unfortunately..."
Ye Luo was listening with great excitement, but seeing that he was keeping her in suspense, she asked impatiently, "What's the pity?"
"All formations require powerful attributes to unleash their divine power. Unfortunately, most cultivators today have Heavenly Spiritual Roots or True Spiritual Roots, which make it impossible for them to set up formations independently."
"So, this is why there are so few array masters?"
"Well, I guess so."
Seeing him deep in thought, Jun Yi continued, "Therefore, in the later stages of cultivation, many cultivators will encounter various bottlenecks. In order to break through the limits of themselves or their cultivation techniques, they will cultivate other missing spiritual roots in order to break through to a higher realm."
Ye Luo sat cross-legged on the rock, pondered for a moment, and then said, "So, to put it simply, array cultivators can only practice in groups in the early stages, and can only practice solo in the later stages?"
Upon hearing this, Jun Yi chuckled lightly, "Yes, that's one way to understand it."
"So, pseudo-spiritual roots are the most awesome! It's just a pity that the cultivation speed is too slow, and they are limited by lifespan and are worn down to death. Isn't that a vicious cycle?"
Pseudo-spiritual roots are very useful in the later stages, but they are useless in the early stages. However, major sects are unwilling to cultivate them, fearing that their financial and material resources will be wasted.
Ye Luo, realizing that he was a pseudo-spiritual root lacking the wood elemental root attribute, excitedly exclaimed, "If I could refine pills to extend lifespan, wouldn't I be able to become a god through sheer luck!"
"It's easier said than done. There's a limit to the number of pills one can consume for the same lifespan. You have to keep refining higher-grade pills, which are all rare materials. Some people haven't even collected all the necessary materials before their lifespan is about to end."
"Oh? Is that so?" Ye Luo's face fell. "If I can't advance quickly, won't I die long ago..."
Upon hearing this, Jun Yi's heart trembled slightly. He swam to the edge of the rock, squeezed his hand, and said, "Don't worry, I won't let you die."
Ye Luo met his concerned gaze and felt a strange sense of trust welling up inside her. "I'll show you something, and you can give me your opinion."
"Um?"
Ye Luo closed his eyes, his body radiating colorful light. With a thought, the ten-prism emerged from his body. In addition, he held an ancient array book in his hand.
Upon seeing this, Jun Yi's pupils dilated, and he asked, "Where did you come from?"
"Hmm... it was during the foundation-building stage in the forbidden area last time that I suddenly awakened."
"Could it be a legacy?" Jun Yi looked somewhat surprised, scrutinizing him from head to toe.
"Is there something wrong?" Ye Luo asked, puzzled.
"Do you know that all inheritances are sealed by certain races or powerful forces using secret methods?"
"Huh? Is that so?" Ye Luo fell into deep thought. It seemed that this part was not described in the original work. Could it be a plot point in the later part of the book?
Damn it!
He skipped through the first half of the book, and before he could even read the later parts of the plot, he was struck by lightning and transmigrated into the book!
"So... if I use this magical artifact as a clue, I can find my family?"
Jun Yi frowned as he examined the ten-prism, and said solemnly, "This is not a magic weapon, but an ancient treasure. You must not show it to others easily. Even powerful cultivators will covet it if they see it."
Holy crap! Does that mean he's carrying a bomb?
"Here, take it, I don't want it!"
"..."
Jun Yi looked at the ten-prism in his hand and suddenly felt a bit like laughing and crying at the same time.
It's an antique that people would fight tooth and nail for, so why does it seem like it's become so worthless in his eyes?
"My dragon bloodline inherently possesses powerful attributes; I have no need for this." Jun Yi returned the ancient treasure to him, his face stern as he instructed, "You are not allowed to give it to anyone else!"
"oh……"
Jun Yi recited an obscure incantation, his slender fingertips lightly tapping the decaprism, and said, "I added a restriction to prevent others from probing with their divine sense, so you don't need to worry too much."
"good."
“Since these ancient treasures and strategies are inherited, they must have some traces. I will try to help you find your family, so don’t rush things.”
"I'm not in a hurry." Ye Luo was indeed not in a hurry; he was just a little curious about the original owner's background.
Jun Yi didn't believe him. Thinking of his childhood of wandering and hardship, he felt a dull pain in his heart and tilted his head up to kiss his forehead.
Ye Luo was startled, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she looked at Jun Yi under the spring pool, "Why did you kiss me?"
"I want to kiss you."
"Stop fooling around, I have a lot of things to do." Ye Luo thought he wanted to get intimate again, so she hurriedly took out the ancient formation book and said, "I don't understand many of the symbols in this inherited ancient formation book. Can you explain it to me?"
"Hmm." Jun Yi used his strong arms to push off, leaping onto the rock and hugging him. "What don't you understand?"
A deep, magnetic voice rang in Ye Luo's ear, sending a shiver down his spine and making it hard for him to concentrate, "Don't get so close to me..."
"Focus."
Jun Yi looked at his reddened ear tips, his dry throat bobbing a few times, "Didn't you say you wanted to practice movement techniques and sword skills?"
"Um."
"Let's go to the back mountain later, and I'll teach you myself, okay?"
"OK!"
"So, are you still going to learn the ancient formation? If not, let's do something else..." Jun Yi said, pressing his high nose against the gland to sniff, and his hands began to wander.
"No, no, no, I love learning! Please teach me!"
Seeing Ye Luo's avoidance expression, Jun Yi sighed and could only give up, fearing that he would scare him away for several more days.
"Then concentrate on the lesson!"
