"If there's nothing else, Uncle-Master, I'll take my leave."
Dong Cheng, being a disciple of the sect leader, quickly took care of everything for A Jiang. A Jiang then officially moved to Lotus Peak and settled into a cave dwelling on the summit.
"Okay, I'm fine. Thank you for today."
After chatting for a few more minutes, Dong Cheng flew away on his magical artifact. A Jiang watched his retreating figure with great envy, wondering when she would be able to fly.
After expressing her feelings, she took out a communication talisman and said a few words, only to find that the other party was not within her sensing range, meaning they must have already set off.
She then stopped thinking about it and turned to look at her cave dwelling.
Dong Cheng showed her three cave dwellings nearby, and she finally chose this one.
But she was not satisfied. She didn't understand why she had to live in a cave when there were such beautiful pavilions and magnificent buildings available.
She wore a disgusted expression, and the image of the Black Wind Cave where Pigsy lived appeared in her mind, but this place was even more rudimentary. The entrance was not large, about ten feet high and six feet wide, with two stone doors and two copper rings on the stone doors. It didn't feel like a place for humans to live at all.
Thinking of possible reasons, the first is cultivation. Could it be that spiritual energy is more easily concentrated in mountain caves?
Moreover, not only Pigsy, but also Sun Wukong lived in the Water Curtain Cave, Patriarch Bodhi lived in the Crescent Moon and Three Stars Cave, and Red Boy lived in the Fire Cloud Cave. So there must be some reason for living in caves!
When Mingchuan Zhenjun returned, he saw his disciple pondering something at the door.
"Zhong Jiang" (a type of ginger).
A-Jiang turned around, quickly kowtowed, and welcomed his master into the cave.
Mingchuan Zhenjun smiled and then asked, "Tell me about your experiences and cultivation."
A-Jiang was a little nervous and said, "I come from the Bai family, a small cultivation family in Tianyu City. When I was six years old, I went to Zhaoxian Dao Academy to study and was exposed to cultivation and some simple spells. When I was fourteen, I entered Qinglian Sect and became a menial disciple. I just became an outer disciple a couple of days ago."
"I was initially a sorcerer's apprentice, skilled in some Five Elements magic. After joining the sect, I switched to Qi cultivation, focusing on the Lotus Treasure Record."
After listening, True Lord Mingchuan took out a five-colored crystal with a smooth surface and some golden runes, and handed it to her, saying, "Try injecting spiritual power into it."
This should be something used to test one's spiritual root aptitude.
When A-Jiang received the crystal and infused it with spiritual power, it emitted a five-colored light. Four of the rays grew brighter and brighter, making the round crystal shine like a small sun.
Mingchuan Zhenjun was surprised, and then said, "This..."
Even the rare Mingchuan Zhenjun was speechless with surprise. After a moment, he asked, "How long have you been in the sect?"
"Two years."
Seeing that Mingchuan Zhenjun remained silent for a long time, Ajiang began to get nervous again.
"Don't be afraid, I didn't mean anything by it. I was just thinking about how you should cultivate in the future. Your entry test record shows that you have four spiritual roots, so why do you suddenly have a fire spiritual root?"
True Monarch Mingchuan was quite confident in the entry test. There must have been some kind of extraordinary encounter for this child. Although people in the cultivation world generally don't pry into other people's secrets, this matter concerns his little disciple's future cultivation, so it's better to ask.
Ah Jiang hesitated, as he wasn't familiar with this master and revealing everything wasn't in his nature.
However, he came from the Bai family. Although this surname is not uncommon in the cultivation world, it still represents bloodline inheritance.
She didn't want to hide this from her master because it would be obvious later, so she used her spiritual power to slightly break her seal.
Mingchuan Zhenjun saw that a pair of small white antlers slowly grew on the forehead of the little girl in front of him.
"Bai Ze bloodline?"
Ah Jiang still kept a little secret, not revealing the black and white beads.
She nodded.
"There hasn't been a successor of the Bai Ze bloodline for over ten thousand years!" he exclaimed.
While this doesn't directly explain the reason for her extra fire elemental root, her actions do suggest she has encountered some extraordinary events and secrets, so Gu Luozhou didn't press further.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Although the fire spirit root is weak now, it is still considered to have all five elements. However, it still needs fire-type treasures to help the fire spirit root grow, and we need to carefully consider this before establishing our foundation."
