Amongst Cultivators, I Stand Above All

230 It Increased?

As soon as he finished speaking, Master Lingxu seemed to have discovered something extraordinary. He looked at Dong Xi in disbelief and said, “What do you mean by that?”

Dong Xi knew that her honored Master had already guessed something. Dong Xi sighed and said, “Master, it’s just as you’ve thought. Disciple’s spirit root value has increased.”

Master Lingxu was extremely shocked, and his expression instantly turned serious. He said, “It increased? How many points? When will you find out?”

“When we first arrived here, the spirit root value you tested for me was different from when we first entered the sect,” said Dong Xi immediately. “At that time, I thought that there was a problem with the spirit testing stone.”

When Master Lingxu heard this, he looked at Dong Xi nervously and excitedly. How many years had it been since he was so excited? “How many points did it increase by?”

Dong Xi said, “It’s not much. Every spirit root increased by one or two points. Later on, I became a disciple of the Sword Sect’s Master Yijian and tested my spirit root again. This time, it increased. The fire spirit root increased by five points. The others also increased by two or three points. I thought that it couldn’t be that every spirit testing stone had a problem, right? Only then did he remember it in his heart and thought of finding a spirit testing stone to test it again, but unexpectedly… I was busy waiting and forgot…”

When Master Lingxu heard Dong Xi’s words, he was furious. How could she have forgotten such an important matter? Of course, now was not the time to reprimand her. Master Lingxu immediately took out the spirit testing stone and handed it to Dong Xi. “Let’s test it now,”

Dong Xi knew that her Master was seeking confirmation. Thinking that there should not be any problems, she placed her hand on the spirit testing stone.

A few colors appeared. Dong Xi looked at the number on the spirit testing stone jumping and finally stopped…

After frowning and looking at it for a long time, Master Lingxu lightly coughed a few times and put away the spirit testing stone. He then looked at Dong Xi again and said, “Little Xi, what was your rank when you first entered? I’m old and can’t remember many things.”

Lingxu was extremely embarrassed, but Dong Xi did not mind. She directly told Lingxu the number when he first entered the sect, and said that he was more comfortable in refining pills now.

Master Lingxu began to ponder.

Master Lingxu had lived for a few hundred years, but this was the first time he had seen such a situation.

“Focus, I’ll check,” Master Lingxu said.

Dong Xi obediently did as she was told and felt her Master’s hands on her back.

After entering the sect for so long, this was the first time that her Master had inspected the condition of Dong Xi’s body. However, Dong Xi suddenly remembered that her Master might be able to discover the inner core of the giant snake in her Dantian.

Hmm? What to do? How should she explain this?

‘It’s over,’ Dong Xi thought quickly, her heart beating faster and faster.

Master Lingxu also noticed that Dong Xi was overly nervous. He retracted his hands and lowered his head to look at his nervous disciple. He then said in a soft voice, “Don’t be afraid. It’s a good thing that your spirit root value has increased. Many people can’t even get it even if they beg for it.”

Dong Xi realized that his Master did not seem to have discovered the inner core, but she was still a little worried. Dong Xi probed, “Master, am I alright?”

Master Lingxu shook his head and said with a frown, “It seems like there’s no problem. How’s your spiritual energy?”

Dong Xi stretched out her hand, and a ball of dark purple spirit Qi appeared in her palm.

Instantly, Master Lingxu’s eyes widened, and he said, “Little Xi, you… Your spiritual energy is like this?”

“That’s right,” Dong Xi nodded.

“Don’t you only have fire, wood, and earth spirit roots?” Master Lingxu asked curiously.

If the spiritual Qi in Dong Xi’s hand was one of the three colors, Lingxu would not be so surprised.

Dong Xi nodded again. She changed her mind, and the spiritual Qi in his palm also changed. It was like a colorful light, and in the end, it was still dark purple.

Master Lingxu was very emotional. He had thought that he had seen everything after living for hundreds of years.

He never thought that every time this little disciple of his would appear, making him feel like an ignorant child who had not seen much of the world. First, it was the spirit body, then the rise of the spirit root value, and… spiritual Qi that could be fused.

Just now, Master Lingxu had checked Dong Xi’s root bone and meridians. There were no problems, especially Dong Xi’s meridians, which were extremely wide and seemed to have been specially tempered.

This girl could cultivate so quickly while tempering her meridians?

Moreover, she had three spirit roots. If word of this got out, many people would be shocked.

Fortunately, at that time, Master Lingxu had taken a fancy to Dong Xi’s comprehension in alchemy and had accepted her as a disciple despite the objections of the masses. Otherwise, with Dong Xi’s aptitude, whether it was for cultivation or other things, this precious jade would be wasted!
