Chapter 47: Relaying to the Sect (1/2)
”Kid from the Five Elements Peak, why are you here?”
Jiang Li and Yin Qiu pulled the boat along. After paddling for a long time, they saw a white robe on the surface of the water holding a stack of Yin-Yang Bamboos and stabbing them into the water.
As he slowed down and approached, he realized that it was a wooden puppet with a frown on its face.
When it saw them arrive, the wooden puppet very humanely wiped away the nonexistent sweat on its face and spoke to them.
Jiang Li was delighted to see the familiar puppet and hear a familiar voice. He had met someone familiar.
”Elder Weng Sanqi, I am disciple Jiang Li, Senior Brother Yin Qiu helped to bring me here.”
The wooden puppet scratched its head in bewilderment, ”Jiang Li… I seem to have heard this name before…”
Jiang Li: …Turns out our relationship wasn't mutual.
”Elder, I have a dual-attribute spiritual root. You've given me pointers before.” Jiang Li reminded him at the right time.
”Oh, right, right, right. I remember now. There really is such a Jiang Li. Did you take the mission alone? Didn't an elder lead the team?”
Elder Weng Sanqi might have drank too much wine while hugging the wine jar, and his mind was not looking too clear.
”Forget it, forget it. I'm short-handed right now. Hurry up and come over.”
”Yin Qiu, you've worked hard to take care of the disciple of my Scripture Storage Valley. I'll praise you the next time I see your Uncle-Master.”
The puppet waved his hand and politely gestured for them to leave.
Yin Qiu naturally saw through his intention and did not show any displeasure.
”Elder Weng, you're too polite. Yin Qiu will take his leave.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Yin Qiu tossed the bamboo pole to Jiang Li, and then the flying sword, Red Sky Sword, on his back was unsheathed. The elegant white-clothed sword cultivator stepped on the flying sword and stood with his hands behind his back as he flew along the surface of the water, leaving behind only a single sentence.
”Junior Brother Jiang Li, let's fight another day~”
Standing with that graceful posture…
As the longsword pierced through the wind, its sharpness reached the peak!
This was truly Immortal Cultivation!
On the other hand, without Yin Qiu to maintain his balance on the small ship, Jiang Li immediately started to lean left and right. A thick and thin bamboo pole was swung around by him like a balance beam.
If not for Elder Weng Sanqi who controlled the wooden puppet to step on the small boat, Jiang Li would probably have fallen into the water to enjoy the fish bites again.
”Speak. Now that he's gone, what did you want to tell me earlier with that subtle expression?”
Who said that Elder Weng Sanqi was drunk? Wasn't he very perceptive and meticulous?
”Elder, we've discovered something!” Jiang Li said seriously.
He tried his best to use simple and clear words to talk about the two thousand children with spiritual root aptitude.
”You're saying that there are more than two thousand children who had been tested positive for their spiritual root aptitude?” Elder Weng Sanqi also became serious.
More than two thousand people with spiritual root aptitude were equivalent to the number of disciples recruited in three or four Immortal Ascension Assemblies.
It could directly increase the number of outer sect disciples by a quarter.
To the Scripture Storage Valley, which had less than 300 years of history, it was already quite a good harvest.
But that was not the point.
The main point was, why did this group of children all have spiritual root aptitude?
Was this related to their coma?
Was it some special method that could allow mortals to have spiritual roots?
