Chapter 428: Activating the Spiritual Root 2
Ye Fei rubbed her eyes. This young man in front of her was... the dean of Lingfeng Academy?
The dean waved a leaf off his sleeve, looking completely unconcerned: "It's not a formal occasion, what's the point of maintaining that so-called sense of authority?"
Huang Rongyu bowed politely to the dean: "You look very energetic today, Dean."
The dean smiled, his eyes crinkling: "Easy, easy... Huh?"
He noticed the girl standing behind Huang Rongyu, her eyes shining with an alarming light. He quickly took a few steps forward and rushed to Ye Fei, scrutinizing her from head to toe: "You are Ye Fei?"
Ye Fei laughed and said, "I never expected that the Dean, who is so elusive, would be such a young man."
The dean patted his face smugly and chuckled, "You also think I'm very young, don't you? Then who's younger, me or Chenglan?"
Chenglan?
Ye Fei recalled for a moment, and realized that this seemed to be the name of the Seventh Elder.
After thinking for a moment, Ye Fei decided to treat everyone equally: "The Dean and my sister are both just as young."
The dean asked in surprise, "Sister? You've acknowledged Chenglan as your sister?"
"Yes." Ye Fei smiled kindly.
The dean clicked his tongue: "Chenglan actually took advantage of my seclusion to secretly acknowledge her relatives... How outrageous!"
Staring at the dean's unserious dean, his face as black as ink, he said, "Let's get down to business!"
"Oh, right! It's important!"
The dean immediately corrected his attitude, cleared his throat, and said, "I already finished refining the pills to activate the second spiritual root last time, and you have all taken them?"
Huang Rongyu replied, "Not yet. Rongyu hopes to activate the spiritual root together with Xiaofei."
"Then you two can absorb the pills right here now." The dean said, waving his sleeve, and a light green, invisible space quickly enveloped Ye Fei and Huang Rongyu. "Activating your spiritual roots is a major event, and I will not allow anyone to disturb you."
Ye Fei and Huang Rongyu exchanged a glance, then took out the small porcelain bottle containing the pills.
The luminous white pills emitted a faint glow and felt warm to the touch when held in the hand.
“Xiao Fei.” Huang Rongyu looked steadily at Ye Fei, her eyes shining brightly: “We will definitely succeed.”
Ye Fei patted his shoulder: "Of course, the Spirit Master Exchange Conference is still waiting for us in three months, so don't hold me back."
Huang Rongyu could easily tell that she was joking, and she smiled and replied, "Okay, I won't hold you back."
After speaking, he put the pill in his mouth, sat cross-legged, and slowly closed his eyes.
Seeing Huang Rongyu surrounded by gentle light-elemental spiritual energy, Ye Fei did not hesitate and immediately swallowed the pill.
The Dean and the Grand Elder stood outside the space. The Grand Elder stroked his white beard, pondered for a moment, and said, "How long does it take to activate a spiritual root?"
"It can take anywhere from half an hour to several days, depending mainly on their willpower."
After speaking, the dean sat on a stone bench by the courtyard path, crossed his legs, took out a bag of sunflower seeds from his storage ring, and started crunching on them.
Grand Elder: "..."
No, the students are at a critical moment, and you, the dean, are just sitting there eating sunflower seeds!
That's outrageous!
Before long, wood-elemental spiritual energy filled Ye Fei's body, and the dean keenly sensed the unusual movements coming from the plants throughout the courtyard.
The next moment, the dean noticed that the plants were rushing towards Ye Fei at an impatient speed. Although there was a layer of space separating them, the plants still climbed upwards along the space!
The Grand Elder was somewhat surprised: "This girl..."
