"How could I possibly know someone like that?"

Gu Shiya was stunned for a moment, but still shook her head. Was her performance a little too exaggerated?

"I have been living in seclusion here for nearly twenty years. I have never returned to the Taoist sect, nor have I had any contact with it again." Gu Shiya smiled embarrassedly.

He didn't take Jiang Bei's impolite question too seriously.

"Jiang Bei, I also have a question for you." Gu Shiya restrained her smile and asked in a serious tone.

"Senior Suzaku, just ask." Jiang Bei nodded slightly.

"You are also a cultivator. In your opinion, what kind of strength among the Taoist practitioners can be compared with the old masters in the ancient martial arts world that Miss Rumu mentioned?" Gu Shiya asked.

"this……"

This question really stumped Jiang Bei.

Although he is a cultivator, he is not the kind of Taoist cultivator that Gu Shiya mentioned!

He didn't know how to answer.

"The Qi Hai will do." Xing Yifu on the side took over the conversation and answered directly.

"Qi Hai?" Gu Shiya was a little surprised.

"Yes, and he is just a cultivator who has just entered the Qi Hai stage, but he can be compared with those old masters." Xing Yifu answered without hesitation.

His voice also became deeper, and he obviously realized what Gu Shiya was thinking.

As for Jiangbei's strength.

There is also a Grandmaster in the prison, although he is half useless...

When Jiang Bei was still in the second stage, at the peak of the Tongluo period, he was already able to compete with Grandpa Sun. Of course... when the other old men in the prison did not abide by the ethics of martial arts and chose to fight in a group, Jiang Bei had no choice but to give in.

However, this problem was completely changed after Jiang Bei broke through the Qi Sea!

What followed was a year-long “revenge” by Jiangbei.

Of course, this is the case when Mr. Xing does not take any action, otherwise whatever Jiang Bei says today will ruin Mr. Xing’s good fortune!

"I roughly understand." Gu Shiya nodded slightly.

She paused before continuing, "If we infer from this, the entire Mu family fell to one person, and this person's strength must at least have reached the end of the Qi Sea stage, or even the Transformation stage."

Mu Yi nodded blankly.

She still didn't understand what these realms Gu Shiya was talking about... although she also knew that they were all cultivators.

She turned her gaze to Gu Lingshuang and Gu Xiaoshuang again, and couldn't help but look at Jiang Bei beside her.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: There are so many immortal cultivators in this world...

"And do you know what the function of the ice crystal leaf is?" Gu Shiya asked again.

Mu Yi nodded and Jiang Bei shook his head.

The scene was awkward for a moment, and the two looked at each other... Jiang Bei nodded and Mu Yi shook his head.

Seeing this, Gu Shiya couldn't help but sigh secretly.

"Before... before I went to the Mountain City Prison..."

"Cough!" Old Master Xing coughed heavily and interrupted Mu Yi's words, "Girl, stop talking nonsense!"

It's embarrassing to have been in jail...

Mu Yi nodded as if she understood, and actually skipped over it. This made Xing Yifu nod secretly in his heart. Sure enough, this girl's heart was not as simple as she appeared.

"When I left Shanghai, my first stop was Hangzhou... to pay homage to my parents." Mu Yi explained.

She thought for a moment and continued, "Then Jiang Bei and I went to the Zhao family in Hangzhou. When my family was exterminated...it was the Zhao family who helped collect the bodies of my parents, grandfather, and family members."

Mentioning this, Mu Yi couldn't help but feel sad for a moment.

"And it was Grandpa Zhao who told me about this ice crystal leaf... He also told me the function of this ice crystal leaf, saying that it can give birth to spiritual roots in people."

"That's right!" Gu Shiya responded immediately.

"Jiang Bei, do you know what spiritual roots are?" She looked at Jiang Bei again and asked.

Jiang Bei shook his head.

He was an authentic self-taught cultivator... He knew nothing at all and had never understood what spiritual roots were.

"Ten thousand years ago, everyone had the potential to be born with spiritual roots, but in this world today... at least for the past ten thousand years, no one has ever heard of a cultivator with spiritual roots being born."

“That’s why no cultivator has ascended to immortal realm in the past ten thousand years.” Gu Shiya sighed secretly.

"Once you have spiritual roots, even if the current Taoist practice is already broken, the speed of cultivating immortals will be very fast! But unfortunately... it is also because of this that even if you have spiritual roots, it is almost impossible to ascend to heaven."

Jiang Bei nodded slightly.

He couldn't help but look inward again...but still couldn't find where the spiritual root was.

Maybe he also has no spiritual roots?

Old Master Xing on the side gave him a soothing look and said, "It's not a big problem. Your master is already thinking about how to cultivate ice crystal leaves."

What do you think he was doing in prison all these years?

This old guy doesn't want to die himself!

But at this age, if you still want to cultivate immortality... then you can only use the ice crystal leaves to create spiritual roots first and then cultivate immortality.

"But what you said is not wrong." Gu Shiya said at this time.

"If that person was from the Dao Sect, he would definitely cause some disturbances after returning to the Dao Sect, even though it has been five years..."

"Today, it must be a hot topic, because after he has spiritual roots, his cultivation path will be smooth and he will not be suppressed at all!"

"The speed of cultivation is also several times faster than that of ordinary people."

Jiang Bei's expression froze.

"Senior Suzaku...what you mean is..." Jiang Bei's voice became much more serious.

"Yes." Gu Shiya nodded slightly. "It would be fine if that person was at the Qi Hai stage. After all, there is a difference of half a major realm between Qi Hai and Hua Jing."

"But if the thief was at the Transformation Realm back then... and had acquired spiritual roots, his strength would surely soar to the sky!"

"The Mingshen cannot be restricted at all. It is very likely that he has entered the last stage of the Tongshen period... the extreme way."

“Even if this thief is extremely talented and has five years of experience, and is a person with spiritual roots… it wouldn’t be difficult for him to directly advance from the transformation realm to the innate realm.”

As these words came out of Gu Shiya's mouth, Jiang Bei's expression became completely gloomy.

It's a bit exaggerated, really.

How could a mere spiritual root be so strong?

Could it be that... Gu Shiya wanted to stop him from taking revenge? Was she trying to scare him on purpose?

A cultivator with spiritual roots and the possibility of ascending to heaven in the future can appear through this door, so he must be protected... How can we treat him like this just because of the revenge for annihilating a hidden family?

Even a simple warning would not be given...

This kind of person can be said to be the hope of the entire Taoist community!

They need this kind of person to step forward and complete the broken cultivation method!

If Jiang Bei is willing to be an enemy of that person, wouldn't that be equivalent to being an enemy of the entire Taoist sect?

And the person guarding the Vermillion Bird came from the Taoist sect... Doesn't she want to see the scene in the future where the cultivation techniques for immortals are completed and countless people ascend to heaven?

Just ask, who doesn’t want to live forever?

"Jiang Bei, don't get me wrong... No matter who the other party is, this kind of hatred can never be let go, even if it means becoming an enemy of the entire Taoist sect." Gu Shiya said in a deep voice at this moment.

"I don't mean to scare you, but I want to tell you... since you have decided to take revenge, you must act quickly before the other party grows up!"
