Chapter 74 Jiang Li actually has a top-grade spiritual root!
At the same time, Feng Jingxuan also noticed Ye Li's gaze.
Following her gaze, he instantly jumped up and down, "That damned brute! He actually tried to kill me!"
Was it Chu Wei who injured him?
Sure enough, the clothes on his shoulders were torn by the sword energy.
What a coincidence.
Both sect leaders are high-ranking and powerful people. Is it really worth fighting so fiercely over such a trivial matter?
Ye Li belatedly realized that since she knew to use wounds to test the Ghost Face, he also knew that having wounds on his body would give him away!
Therefore, one of them must have deliberately attacked the other.
That way, she couldn't figure out how the injury came about.
Therefore, it seems that one of Chu Wei and Feng Jingxuan must be Ghost Face!
Ye Li remained calm and said, "It is this disciple who has implicated Sect Master Feng."
Feng Jingxuan was very magnanimous, saying, "It's alright, it's alright."
After saying that, he raised an eyebrow at Ye Li with his charming eyes, "But what are you doing secretly following that martial artist? Could it be... that you've taken a liking to him?"
Just as Ye Li was about to deny it, A Jin interjected, "Mother, that's a good excuse, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to find any other reason."
She suppressed her shame and said, "I hope Elder Feng will keep this a secret."
Feng Jingxuan was surprised for a few seconds, then laughed so hard he almost fell over. "Good, good, good! It's been a long time since we've had such a bold disciple. I support you, take down that old iron tree!"
Ye Li nodded symbolically, "If there's nothing else, this disciple will take my leave now."
"Hey, wait a minute."
Feng Jingxuan called her name but didn't speak, instead circling around her once.
He clicked his tongue in amazement, "The last time I saw you sparring with Chu Wei, you hadn't even started to cultivate Qi yet. You've already reached the Qi Refining stage so quickly. Weren't your spiritual roots in conflict?"
Ye Li's brow twitched slightly. "How do you know my spiritual roots clash?"
"We all know that. After your sword duel with Chu Wei, several of us sect leaders thought you were a promising talent and wanted to recruit you into the inner sect."
He looked regretful. "It's just that your spiritual roots are too weak. It's bad enough that they are mixed spiritual roots, but they all clash with each other, so you can't cultivate at all, and that's why it's all over."
A mere outer disciple who hasn't even reached the Qi Refining stage is able to fight against Chu Wei, who possesses innate sword bones, and even last for dozens of moves. His future is limitless.
If Ye Li's spiritual root weren't so weak, she would have long been coveted by various sects.
Ye Li was unaware of this, and after a pause, she said, "I've undergone marrow cleansing, and now I have a water spirit root."
She didn't reveal that she had a top-grade spiritual root; after all, she wasn't the real Jiang Li, and it wasn't appropriate for her to be too ostentatious.
Upon hearing this, Feng Jingxuan was overjoyed. "Do you know the grade?"
"I don't know."
Disciples must go to the spirit pillar of the Heavenly Gate Sect to inquire about their spiritual roots before they can test their spiritual roots. Ye Li exists as a soul, which is why she can see it.
Upon hearing that Ye Li had washed away her mixed spiritual roots, Feng Jingxuan clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Your swordsmanship is already so superb; having spiritual roots would be the icing on the cake! Come on! I'll take you to have your spiritual roots tested right now!"
He didn't give Ye Li a chance to refuse, and grabbed her wrist to head towards the Hall of Inquiry.
"Elder Feng! Wait a minute!"
"..."
-
As the sect leader, Feng Jingxuan of the Golden Cloud Sect was traveling swiftly with Jiang Li, an outer disciple.
Wherever he went, the disciples discussed it animatedly.
"Hey, isn't that Sect Master Feng? He's holding Jiang Li, isn't he?"
"Yeah, where are they going?"
"It seems they're heading towards the Hall of Spirit Inquiry. Didn't Jiang Li have her spiritual roots tested? Why is she going there again?"
"I don't know, let's go check."
A group of disciples who had come to watch the spectacle followed closely behind, including Jiang Mengyao, who had rushed over upon hearing the news.
Upon hearing that Jiang Li was going to test her spiritual roots again, she immediately burst out laughing.
"Haha, retest her spiritual root? She thinks that retesting her spiritual root will make it not a useless mixed spiritual root? She's dreaming."
A disciple who shared her sentiments chimed in, "That's right, how can Jiang Li compare to Senior Sister Mengyao? She even dared to seduce Senior Brother Wen, she's really overestimating herself. If you ask me, Senior Brother Wen and you are a match made in heaven."
"Of course, how could a vixen like her, born of a concubine, be worthy of Senior Brother Wen?"
Jiang Mengyao felt flattered by the praise. "Let's go see what kind of trouble this good-for-nothing can cause."
It was lunchtime, and the line grew larger and larger. Before long, the entrance to the Hall of Inquiry was crowded with people.
Ye Li felt somewhat resistant to this display of force. "Elder Feng, why don't we reschedule the test for another day?"
"Oh, since we're already here, let's get tested."
Feng Jingxuan urged, "It will be quick. My technique for testing spiritual roots is excellent. It won't hurt you. Come on, come on."
A sneer came from the crowd.
"Elder Feng, I think she's not afraid of pain, but afraid of losing face."
Standing at the front, Jiang Mengyao crossed her arms and looked at her with disdain. "Jiang Li, you good-for-nothing who got into the outer sect by luck should just keep your head down. You even dared to pester Elder Feng to test your spiritual root. As your older sister, I'm kindly advising you to leave now, so you'll still have some dignity. Don't worry about all these people seeing you get a mixed spiritual root and knowing you're a good-for-nothing."
Upon hearing this, Ye Li, who originally didn't want to be too conspicuous, stopped in her tracks.
She looked at Jiang Mengyao, the woman who was clearly Jiang Li's older sister, yet harbored great malice towards her.
Ye Li retorted, "You call me trash, then what are you, who lost to me in the assessment? You're not even as good as trash?"
"you!"
Jiang Mengyao choked up.
She was furious. "Who knows what underhanded tricks you used!"
"So it is clear that the mixed spiritual roots you mentioned are not useless; only arrogant and incompetent people are."
"Shut up!"
Jiang Mengyao was about to get angry when she suddenly remembered something and became smug again. "All that talk is just because you have a mixed spiritual root, and you're trying to save face! A piece of trash is a piece of trash, and there's no use in deceiving yourself!"
"Is that so?"
Ye Li looked at Feng Jingxuan, "Then I'll trouble Elder Feng to help me test my spiritual root."
Feng Jingxuan laughed, "You've finally figured it out. Come on, put your hand out."
Feng Jingxuan drew a talisman in the void, pointed it at Ye Li's palm, and the talisman flowed into her palm.
"The spiritual source is activated, the five elements gather, manifest!"
Ye Li's hand was drawn to the towering spirit pillar in the hall.
In an instant, everyone's eyes were drawn to the crystalline spirit pillar.
The spirit pillar changes among the five elements and five colors, finally transforming into a clear, watery color.
The pure white light, free of impurities, symbolizes the purity of one's spiritual roots.
Single-element water elemental root!
Jiang Mengyao couldn't believe it. "How is this possible? She clearly has mixed spiritual roots!"
"Look!"
A disciple pointed at the spirit pillar and exclaimed, "It's a top-grade spiritual root!"
There are five lamps around the spirit pillar. If it is a mixed spirit root, only one lamp is lit; if it is a low-grade spirit root, two lamps are lit; and so on. If it is a top-grade spirit root, then all five lamps are lit.
The Tianmen Sect has been established for over a thousand years, and the number of times these five lamps have been lit can be counted on one hand.
One by one, the lights came on, and in the blink of an eye, four lights were on, and the surroundings became noisy.
"Junior Sister Jiang Li actually has a high-grade spiritual root!"
As they were still in shock, someone pointed at the last lamp, their mouth trembling with desire, and exclaimed, "No! It's not top-grade!"
