For the six immortal sects, once they recruit a Celestial Spirit Root, even the Golden Core Zhenren will scramble to have them.
What’s more, Wen Linger is now suspected to be an Abnormal Spirit Root.
So, most Foundation Establishnt cultivators are unaware of this, and if Ji Yuan wants to inquire, he has to go to Wan You Island.
When he arrived, Hua Yaoyue, dressed in a pink long skirt, leaned drunkenly on the mountaintop, gazing at the Boundless Marsh dazedly.
It was unclear whether she was comprehending the Dao or rely daydreaming.
This pink long dress, which is challenging for any woman to manage, looked surprisingly fitting on Hua Yaoyue. It didn’t appear enchanting; instead, it added a touch of feminine beauty.
After all, Hua Yaoyue’s figure... is indeed quite tall.
Even compared to many male cultivators, she’s taller.
If she were to encounter so demon cultivators, they might even feel like calling her "mother" upon eting.
As usual, Ji Yuan, upon arriving, first offered dozens of flasks of Heart’s Desire Wine, then softly said, "Master, your disciple has a question."
"What is it?"
Hearing Ji Yuan had other matters, Hua Yaoyue withdrew her gaze, but without getting up or making any visible motion, she turned around in the blink of an eye.
Directly facing her closed-door disciple.
Although Ji Yuan frequently faced Hua Yaoyue, at the mont, seeing her slightly drunken appearance still made him a bit nervous.
"Disciple heard that a few years ago, our sect recruited a disciple with an Abnormal Spirit Root."
"Abnormal Spirit Root?"
Hua Yaoyue heard this and furrowed her brows slightly, seeming to recall for a mont, then said, "I only recall that a few years ago, we recruited a Celestial Spirit Root individual, who was eventually accepted as a disciple by Xuanxiao."
Xuanxiao is the third elder who has always contended with the Great Elder.
The Great Elder is known as Cloud Abyss Zhenren.
The third elder is known as Master Xuanxiao.
"This disciple knows about this."
Being taken as a disciple by Master Xuanxiao, it’s highly likely this refers to the boy from Zengtou City in Cloud Rain Marsh.
Thinking of this matter, Ji Yuan cannot help but feel a certain way.
The feng shui of Zengtou City seems indeed quite favorable... A true Spirit Root, an Abnormal Spirit Root, plus produced both himself and Han Feiyu as Foundation Establishnt cultivators.
Moreover, after so interactions, Ji Yuan believes Dong Qian’s Foundation Establishnt shouldn’t be an issue either.
Though he’s unaware of her opportunities or thods, just judging by how she always seems to have a large number of Spirit Stones... it’s likely her ans are not simple.
As such, tiny Zengtou City has produced three Foundation Establishnt cultivators.
"Abnormal Spirit Root... What specific Spirit Root is it?"
"Eight out of ten, it’s a Wind Spirit Root."
"Alright, I’ll find so ti to investigate. As long as they are within the sect, I’ll most probably find out."
Hua Yaoyue knows the disposition of her closed-door disciple; since he’s co to ask, he’s probably about ninety percent sure.
It’s quite interesting to Hua Yaoyue that the sect actually recruited a disciple with an Abnormal Spirit Root.
"Please keep this confidential, Master."
Ji Yuan thought for a mont and still felt the need to remind her.
Hua Yaoyue looked at this cautious disciple of hers, who didn’t seem entirely at ease even with her, and had no choice but to agree helplessly.
"Rest assured."
After speaking, she sized up Ji Yuan once more, and for once, offered a rare complint, "Not bad, the first sword embryo has finally been condensed."
"It’s all thanks to Master’s excellent guidance."
Ji Yuan blurted out.
"Hehe, off you go."
Clearly, Hua Yaoyue is not one of those cultivators who enjoys such flattery, so Ji Yuan’s praise didn’t evoke much reaction from her.
"Yes."
Not having found out news about Wen Linger, Ji Yuan said goodbye and returned to Mist Island.
He continued to comprehend and cultivate.
The situation on Mist Island no longer required much of his attention.
Since Tu Yue’s breakthrough to the Peak of Qi Refining, even her intelligence seed to have improved a bit.
The things Ji Yuan had instructed, she could now categorize and handle on her own.
No need for repeated instructions, nor would she chanically follow Ji Yuan’s words to the letter.
In other words, it’s like her "intelligence level" has increased.
Ji Yuan was pleased with this.
He could then focus on cultivating with peace of mind.
But this ti, less than half a month into his cultivation, he received a ssage.
This ti, the ssage ca from Sect Leader Master Xuan Shui.
"Nephew Ji, are you there? If you are within the sect, co to Water Dragon Island for a chat."
Sect Leader?
Why is he looking for ?
As Ji Yuan pondered, he couldn’t think of any ties with him, unable to understand the purpose of the sect leader’s summons, but since it was the sect leader’s call, as a disciple, he certainly had to go and see.
So, two days later, Ji Yuan arrived at Water Dragon Island, where he t Sect Leader Master Xuan Shui.
"Greetings, Sect Leader Martial Uncle."
Upon entering the great hall, Ji Yuan cupped his hands and saluted.
Master Xuan Shui, as if just noticing him, raised his head with a faint smile and said, "So it’s Nephew Ji who has arrived. Please, Nephew, have a seat."
"Thank you, Martial Uncle."
Ji Yuan sat down beside him, placing his hands on his thighs, sitting with an upright and cautious posture.
Master Xuan Shui put down the jade scroll in his hand and asked with a smile, "Nephew, how have you been lately? Have you encountered any problems within the sect? If you have, feel free to speak."
"Thank you for your concern, Martial Uncle. Your disciple is well in all aspects."
These were just formal pleasantries, and Ji Yuan did not take them seriously.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Master Xuan Shui spoke cautiously, "It’s been over a year since Nephew Ji opened Wuyou Island, hasn’t it?"
"Indeed."
Upon hearing this, Ji Yuan understood Master Xuan Shui’s intention.
It turns out that there’s so task to be assigned to .
As Ji Yuan understood, within the Water Dragon Sect, typically, after establishing a Foundation on an island, there is a year of leisure, which can be used for networking or consolidating cultivation.
During this year, the sect does not assign any tasks.
But once the year has passed, the sect appropriately assigns so tasks.
