Chapter 67 - Spiritual Root Snatching (1/2)

Since he was one of the best among the young generation attracting great attention, these people naturally knew that Senior Brother Duan Minghua was chasing Ji Yuewu, and it was said that the Chief Master allowed it as well. Yet Ji Yuewu seemed to be not interested at all as she didn’t care about him. And the way she treated Shiao Chen was pretty much like a harsh slapping on Duan Huaming’s face.

“Hmm, I have some matter to deal with as well, so please allow me to excuse myself.” Li Yuedu sneered secretly. The Chief Master had thought that Duan Huaming and Ji Yuewu could make a perfect match. Since he himself couldn’t join the competition, he would love to see Duan losing face at the moment.

After that, many people left for varied excuses and the way they looked at Duan Huaming showed quite some implication.

“Shiao Chen, on the day of the Sect ceremony, I will let you pay for what you did even if I will get the punishment!” When everyone left, Duan Huaming’s face went dark immediately and a shade of cruelty flashed through his eyes.

In the herbal garden of Elixir Valley.

Shiao Chen sat with his legs crossed. His face turned purple as the spiritual power was circulating crazily inside his body. It gradually besieged the sword qi remained inside of him, suppressed it and wrapped it to squeeze it out.

“Puff!”

Suddenly, a string of dark light appeared at the fingertip of Shiao Chen, and it left a deep hole as big as a thumb the moment when it hit to the ground.

Shiao Chen opened his eyes slowly as a piece of grey shade flashed across them. He sneered, “What a malicious trick. Had I not forced the sword qi out of my body, my Dantian would be broken and I would be totally destroyed.”

“Guan Zhong, for today’s humiliation, I will visit Purple Sky Sect and make you pay it back in the future!”

Shiao Chen stood up abruptly and a great power suddenly burst out from his body and swept across the air.

After a while, Shiao Chen calmed down and was lost in thoughts, “Although I’ve learned so much from this trip, I still haven’t found the method to foundation establishing. And this is the top priority for me now.” Shiao Chen believed that, as long as he could establish the foundation, he could make it at least to the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment with his profound spiritual power. Also, with his overwhelming ability of alchemy, he would improve quickly on his cultivation as well.

“Right, Yu Ji is so mysterious and maybe she knows about this.” Shiao Chen had a thought and dived into the sea of his consciousness with his divine sense, “Are you there, my Taoist friend?”

After a while, Shiao Chen was still very patient and Yu Ji’s lazy and seductive voice spoke up, “I was just napping. So, what do you want from me now, little brother?”

Shiao Chen looked quite serious as he didn’t care about Yu Ji’s flirting at all. He hesitated slightly and said, “I was wondering if you know any methods to let people with no spiritual root establish the foundation.”

“No spiritual root?” Yu Ji sounded quite confused, but on a second thought, raised her voice all of a sudden, “The one with no spiritual root is you, right? No wonder, your cultivation has achieved the 15th, oh, no, the 16th level of the Qi Refining stage. I thought you still haven’t started to establish the foundation because you wanted that reward of the heaven. Never did I expect that you don’t have a spiritual root!” Yu Ji sounded very surprised.
