Chapter 99: Mutant Spiritual Root
Li Yuan looked down at her hand, his lips curving into an almost imperceptible smile. He placed his hand on her palm and used it to lift himself up.
Ye Fei released Qing Li from the mental space. As soon as Qing Li appeared, she chirped at Li Yuan, "Master! This bad guy just hurt you! I'm going to avenge you!"
"I'm fine. He hurt me unintentionally."
Ye Fei caught Qing Li's small body in one hand, gently rubbed it, and then turned her gaze to Li Yuan: "I have made a contract with this Senluo Qing Li Kite, and I will call it Qing Li."
Li Yuan nodded: "I know."
Ye Fei looked around and asked, "Li, do you have a contracted beast? If not, why don't you look for one in the Firefly Forest?"
"I have a contracted beast." Li Yuan didn't hide it, his dark eyes sweeping over Ye Fei's face for a few seconds.
"I see..." Ye Fei pondered for a moment, then looked down at Qing Li, "Weren't you going to move Bai Xianlan into my mental space? Hurry up, we're leaving soon."
Qingli immediately flew towards the white fairy orchid, but turned back halfway, glaring fiercely at Li Yuan with her small, beady eyes: "I'm warning you, don't you dare bully my master! Otherwise, you'll regret it!"
Aside from spirit beasts of the sacred beast level that can speak human language freely, contracted beasts can only communicate with their contractors. Therefore, Li Yuan couldn't hear what the little bird in front of him was saying at all.
But Li Yuan possessed such intelligence that he could discern some clues from Qing Li's eyes.
Li Yuan raised an eyebrow; even a fledgling dared to threaten him…
He raised his hand, flicked his fingers, and sent Qingli flying to the ground with a snap.
"Ouch!" Qingli emerged from the sea of starflowers, her head spinning. "I'm so dizzy..."
Ye Fei coughed lightly, and Qing Li, receiving the hint, shook her head and quickly went to do something important.
Watching Qingli busily fiddling with the White Fairy Orchid, Li Yuan was surprised: "You just said you were going to put the White Fairy Orchid into your mental space? Can herbs be grown in a mental space?"
"Ahem, perhaps my mental space is rather peculiar..."
Ye Fei spread her hands, not knowing why a patch of black soil suitable for growing medicinal herbs had appeared in her mental space.
Li Yuan pondered for a moment: "Could it be that your wood spirit root is a mutated wood spirit root?"
"A mutated wood spirit root?" Ye Fei frowned.
"Generally speaking, when a cultivator is born, the spiritual root attribute formed in the lower abdomen inherits the strongest attribute from either the father or the mother. However, there are precedents where the spiritual root mutates during its formation due to certain reasons."
“There are only two outcomes for cultivators with this mutated spiritual root: either they become an unparalleled waste or an unparalleled genius, and you seem to be the latter.”
Ye Fei rubbed her lower abdomen and asked, "You mean, I can easily manipulate plants for my own use, and my mental space can grow herbs... all because my spiritual root has mutated?"
“That’s possible,” Li Yuan replied.
There are too many mysteries surrounding her, and he cannot draw any conclusions yet.
But at least one thing is certain: she will definitely become a powerful figure standing at the pinnacle in the future.
Ye Fei recalled that Ye Jingyao was a lightning-type spirit master, while her first activated spiritual root was a wood-type spiritual root, which didn't seem like she inherited from him at all...
Could it be that her wood spirit root was inherited from her mother, whom she had never met?
Thinking of this, Ye Fei felt somewhat relieved.
She would rather inherit her mother's abilities than that beast in human form.
