Chapter 4 The Art of Drawing a Pie in the Sky



"Actually, it's nothing much, it just requires a little more resources to cultivate than ordinary top-grade spiritual roots."

Rong Zi: "..."

More resources are needed than for a top-grade spiritual root?

It's important to know that in the world of cultivation, top-grade spiritual roots are as rare as giant pandas.

Even the female lead, Yun Qin, only has a high-grade spiritual root.

Later, thanks to the golden finger of rebirth, she was able to finally evolve her spiritual root and cultivate it into an enviable top-grade spiritual root.

As a result, Yun Qin's status in the cultivation world has risen higher and higher.

For those prestigious and established sects, having even one disciple with a top-grade spiritual root is already considered quite remarkable.

In order to cultivate a disciple with an exceptional spiritual root, a sect often needs to devote immeasurable cultivation resources to him/her.

Even ordinary sects simply cannot afford to support a disciple with a top-grade spiritual root.

But now the little turtle tells her...

Her chaotic spiritual root requires even more resources to cultivate than that of a top-grade spiritual root.

This was for a penniless man with nothing to his name.

This is undoubtedly a fatal blow...

Seeing that Rong Zi's expression was not good, the little turtle raised its neck and said proudly, "Don't worry, our Rongling Sect is the number one sect in the cultivation world, and we have no shortage of cultivation resources."

Rong Zi glanced silently at the ruins beneath her, her lips twitching slightly. "Are you sure?"

"Uh..." The little turtle shook its head, its eyes darting around.

After a moment, it replied with a forced smile, "Even if we don't have many resources now, we can still earn them with our own hands. I believe that as the sect leader of Rongling Sect, you will definitely be able to make Rongling Sect flourish again and restore its glory and status from ten thousand years ago."

The little turtle's tone became more and more excited as it spoke.

His eyes were wide open, as if he could already see the day when Rongling Sect would flourish.

Rong Zi chuckled, "You really are a master of empty promises..."

Little turtle: "...??"

"However, you said ten thousand years ago? That means Rongling Sect has a history of over ten thousand years?" Rong Zi asked curiously.

The little turtle nodded vigorously, making a loud thud.

"Tens of thousands of years ago, the entire cultivation world revered our Rongling Sect as the leader. However, our sect gradually declined after the sudden disappearance of our founding ancestor."

Tens of thousands of years ago...

Rong Zi lingered on the little turtle for a few more moments, then clicked his tongue in amazement, "A thousand-year-old tortoise, a ten-thousand-year-old turtle—the ancients were right..."

This little thing looks tiny, but I never imagined it had lived for tens of thousands of years.

I wonder how many people have died from exhaustion.

Rong Zi suddenly thought of something, her eyes brightening slightly, "Since only those with Chaotic Spiritual Roots can serve as the sect leader of Rongling Sect, does that mean that Rongling Sect has a method for cultivating Chaotic Spiritual Roots?"

The little turtle swung its claws and suddenly got excited.

"Of course! No one understands the Chaos Spiritual Root better than our Rongling Sect. In fact, it's not just the Chaos Spiritual Root; the cultivation techniques and manuals collected by our Rongling Sect are the most powerful, authentic, and comprehensive in the entire cultivation world."

"Where?" Rong Zi rubbed his hands together and reached out his hand towards it.

The little turtle was taken aback. "Huh?"

"A cultivation manual."

After all, the cultivation world is a world where the strong are respected.

Moreover, before ascending to immortality, each person can only join one sect in their lifetime.

Now that she has signed a death pact with this Rongling Sect, her plan to join an ordinary sect and live a quiet, peaceful life is no longer feasible.

However, if she had a cultivation manual, she might actually be able to find a cultivation method suitable for her spiritual root in the future.

"Oh, the cultivation manual is here with me." The little turtle said, turning around and crawling towards a small patch of grass not far away. "Master, please wait a moment, I'll go find a place to pull them out for you."

Rong Zi: "Pull...pull it out?"

The little turtle blinked its adorable round eyes and explained to Rong Zi in a crisp voice.

"Before the sect's founding ancestor disappeared, he only left a restriction and a contract seal on the sect's plaque, and instructed me to patiently wait for the next sect leader to appear."

So I waited and waited and waited.

"Later, the sect's library collapsed due to the long passage of time. I had to dig all the books out of the ruins one by one and put them into a spatial ring left by the founding patriarch. But because I was worried about losing it, I simply hid the ring inside my stomach."

After saying that, the little turtle grinned at Rong Zi and said, "Don't worry, Master, I'll be able to pull you out soon."

Rong Zi: "..."

Taking a deep breath, Rong Zi gritted his teeth and asked with a forced smile.

"Couldn't you... have taken it out in a more civilized way?"

"Civilization?" The little turtle suddenly had a flash of inspiration and replied repeatedly, "No problem, no problem."

A moment later...

Little turtle: "Ugh... ugh..."

Shrinking its neck, it wiped its mouth with its front paws, looked at the small puddle on the ground with a strong, indescribable smell, and a white jade ring inside, and gave Rong Zi an awkward smile.

"Sorry, I had garlic-flavored small fish last time, and it still has a bit of a lingering taste."

Rong Zi's face contorted, "Ugh..."

...

Half an hour later.

"vomit……"
