Chapter 231 Water Spiritual Root?

"Does Senior Brother Luo also have a gold spiritual root?" Li Yirou heard that Ji Shiyan's master had a gold spiritual root, but he said, "No, it's a water spiritual root."

"Water spiritual roots?" Li Yirou didn't understand. Wouldn't a master usually accept a disciple with similar spiritual roots as himself?

"Yes, but Senior Brother... has a talent for divination, so according to Master, he insisted on taking him in as a disciple. When there were problems that could not be solved in cultivation, he would take Senior Brother to find other elders with water spiritual roots..."

Isn't this misleading? Li Yiru felt that Ji Shiyan would be unhappy to hear this, so she was embarrassed to say it out loud.

But Ji Shiyan probably understood what she meant, "It is a bit of a delay for you, but you are willing to do it."

"Can the disciple still make a choice?" Li Yirou always thought that it was the master who chose the disciple.

Ji Shiyan hummed uncomfortably, and Li Yiru realized then that perhaps only cultivators like her who seemed to have useless spiritual roots had no choice.

It was different for cultivators with only one spiritual root, especially those with 9th-grade spiritual roots like them...

"You don't have to explain it clearly. I understand. It's another question of qualifications." Li Yirou looked at the small village in the distance that was gradually disappearing from her sight. She still couldn't figure out who did it.

"Speaking of qualifications, how did you manage to build your foundation after four years of practice?" Ji Shiyan sighed, "Oh yes, there are still a few years left in the secret realm, but it's only six years! Who are you? Are you a fairy from heaven?"

Li Yirou was amused by his serious look, "Which fairy is so unlucky?"

She suddenly thought of the original owner's father, "Have you ever heard of a powerful cultivator named Li Xun?"

Could it be that after he came back, he found that someone had treated his daughter harshly, and he got angry and killed everyone? But why did he not even let Xifeng go, and even hated her more?

Ji Shiyan and she boarded the spiritual boat, recalled the past, and finally shook his head, "No. Moreover, many cultivators will give themselves a Taoist name after practicing. Their secular names become less and less used, and even forgotten by others later."

"For example, your master, others only respectfully address her as Ancestor Tiancun, and we don't even know what her previous name was." Upon hearing this, Li Yirou remembered that Taoist Minjing was also the same, and only said her Taoist name.

She couldn't think of any other way to punish Linxian Village. In this village, except for her in the past and Xifeng later, everyone else seemed to be living a good life.

"If they are demons, why do they attack mortals?" Li Yirou's mind jumped around, and she asked Ji Shiyan whatever she remembered. He had to explain it again, and now he returned to the main point.

“The demon race needs a mixture of spiritual energy and foul energy to practice. I am just guessing that maybe they came to the mortal world to practice on purpose and just happened to massacre a village.

Besides, immortal cultivators don’t want to kill mortals and get involved in karma. Monsters are not smart enough, so they won’t come to this place with little spiritual energy to kill people.”

Li Yirou thought about it and disagreed. "The bodies of the villagers in Linxian Village are intact. If they were demons, I think they would tear apart and abuse human bodies, and would not burn them clean like this."

"That makes sense." Ji Shiyan remembered that the demon clan's behavior was indeed as Li Yirou said, so the massacre remained a mystery for the time being.

"Let's just pretend we have never been here." Ji Shiyan had actually been thinking in his mind whether or not to report to the Immortal Alliance, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that apart from the harsh treatment of Li Yiru, the people in this village did not have any grudges with other cultivators.

If she directly told the Immortal Alliance that someone was slaughtering mortals, and Li Yiru came at this time, it might cause her trouble for no reason, and it might even expose her identity. She was not ready yet and had to explain it to her master.

It would be better if someone else discovered it and reported it, so they wouldn't be implicated.

Li Yirou was concerned about this. She thought about it and agreed, "Okay." But Xifeng...

When the Immortal Alliance finds out in the future, we will investigate who did it and then seek justice for Xifeng.

"You and her..." Ji Shiyan said half a sentence and stopped talking.

Li Yirou guessed why. It was probably because she saw her good friend pass away but she didn't feel sad at all.

She smiled and said, "We are indeed old friends, but after I started practicing, I felt that our relationship became less and less close. Sometimes, I even felt that my heart was cold."

Ji Shiyan looked back at her, "You are not a cold-hearted person. You are not like this to me, to Xiaomao, or even to your master."

Li Yirou thought about it and realized that it was true. "You, Taxue and Duobao are indeed different to me. But other people..."

There are also the spiritual creatures Jingfan and Cangyi that Ji Shiyan doesn't know about. She doesn't want to tell anyone about their existence, and doesn't want to betray this trust.

She didn’t go on to say that it was the first time she shared her secrets with someone, “Sometimes I feel like I just look like a nice person.”

"No, Yirou, there is a saying in the mortal world that when you are poor, you should be alone. Perhaps we have not reached that level." Ji Shiyan didn't want her to say that about him. "There are not many people I care about. I usually practice cultivation in silence. Most of my friends are those in the Qi Refining Stage."

So Li Yirou felt the same way. Maybe she had more time and richer emotions back then.

"Ayan, tell me, why were the bodies of Xifeng and others blown away by the wind, but not the bodies of others?" Li Yirou always had that picture in her mind, and she always felt it was unusual.

“I’m also thinking, maybe that’s where the fire started and it burned longer?”

After he finished speaking, Li Yirou fell into deep thought. Xifeng's house was the starting point of the fire, why...

After thinking of many possibilities and finding none of them sounded reliable, they started talking about other things.

After arriving at the Western Realm, Li Yirou and Ji Shiyan had to return to her residence because they missed the opening time of the teleportation array again. They spent day and night together, as if they had returned to the days of the Thousand Dao Sword Sect.

However, in order to improve their cultivation as quickly as possible, the two of them almost always practiced while sitting opposite each other.

Taxue was very happy and took turns resting between the two people's legs.

When practicing together, Ji Shiyan's gold-attributed spiritual energy suppressed the wood-attributed spiritual energy, but it also made her spiritual energy more active. The five elements are not only limited to the principle of mutual generation, the principle of mutual restraint can also promote the enhancement of spiritual power.

When Li Yirou returned to the sect, many questions had accumulated. She saw the wind chimes in the ancestral courtyard shaking, which meant that someone was inside.

She sorted herself out and went to ask the ancestor questions about cultivation.

The old man was flipping through a booklet. When he saw her come in, he asked her to wait for a moment.

There were more than 10 copies of the same booklet piled up next to the old ancestor. Li Yirou felt that her master was really busy. It was said that she spent a lot of time on handling the affairs of the Immortal Alliance on weekdays.

Even so, she was still able to practice. Now she had two more disciples, which made her even busier.

After answering the question, the old ancestor started chatting with her.

"Did your friend take it?" The old ancestor still cared a lot about friendship.

Li Yirou nodded, "Well, she wanted to learn swordsmanship, so I recommended her to Qingyun City."

After listening to her, the old ancestor asked her with a smile, "Why didn't you go to Qingyun City? The kid from the Ji family must have wanted you to go there, right?"
