3 Xiao Lan (1/2)

Zhu Yinbing waiting for her husband to speak. This heavy air of her husband give her a bad feeling.

”Another Head of court spirit scholar just gone insane after study Shang'er basket rune”

”Again?”

She ask with worried look. Because this is the 4 time in the last 10 years that anyone who try to study that unholy rune will go insane just before they're going to make sense of the rune on how it's worked. If not because of this rune has the ability to instantly destroy those horrific creature that have the battle power equal to the Ascension realm. No one'd like to make this repeated mistake.

But unknown to her of the fact that her adopted son is the one who unconsciously use his power to destroy those horrific creature instead of those strange looking unholy rune.

Her husband nod before continue.

”But this time. He actually record something before he's going insane”

”What did he record!?” She immediately ask.

Zhu Songtian heavily sigh before answer.

”[I hereby declare a highest warning to anyone who wish to study this accursed knowledge. This knowledge is not for any lesser-being mind. It's beyond our reach. Tell his majesty to forever seal it, and never let it be study again.] It's what he wrote on the ground by using his entire blood essence and spirits qi before he dies, and it cannot be wash, or delete by any means unless we dug up the entire patch of ground.”

”This….”

Zhu Yinbing stutter in disbelief. This is the gravest warning she ever heard from the court spirit scholar that usually study the unknown and dangerous discovered knowledge. Whether it from the ancient rune or some of the primal ancient lost city. They study these dangerous thing on a daily basis, but never give out such a gravest warning such as this.

Fear start creeping to her unwavering heart. What was her adopted son origin? But this fear does not frome her son. It's from the great unknown of his origin.

Because no matter how big or what his origin really is. She didn't care at all. Her adopted son will always be her and her beloved son.

Thinking back to the first time she met her adopted son. At first they decide to adopted this son due to the life saving gratitude from the mysterious rune that came with their adopted son basket. But after all these years, It's not anymore. Now their love of their son come from their heart. It's not from the sense of gratitude anymore.

”That's right dear. What about the elixir that'll help our son with his spirits root problem.” She ask her husband.

That's right their beloved son has a one major defect. Despise his heaven defying comprehension and intelligence that led her son to master the cooking rival to the greatest spirit chef of the world in just 2-3 try, out of his curiosity.

Their beloved son don't have any trace of spirits root in his body. And this might be the major reason that their beloved son has been abandoned by his original family.

Because if we look into the reality of this world. Most of the powerful clan has a very low sense of kinship in their family. Each of their clan member that eat from their money, or cultivate from their resources. They think as investment. And investment don't tolerate the goods that does not return their funding.

One might ask that their son have heaven defying comprehension. Why not let him be the spirit scholar to research or invent some new things. But one must not forget that all things in this world is based on cultivation. Even the most useless commoner have their spirit roots. Everyone have their spirits root, and almost everything use spirit to control. In other word. It's like someone want to be a scientist while they can't do the basic math.

Zhu Songtian shook his head with frustration in his eye.

”This time, I have a fortune to meet with the old patriarch of Medicine dao sect. But… He said [It's possible to heal even the crippled spirits root. But it's impossible to create a spirit root to people that don't have it from the start.]”

Both husband and wife feel it's very hard to swallow this cold hard truth. But they already guess that for the living being that didn't have spirit root. It's impossible to create one from scratch.

Zhu Songtian look at his wife worried face before trying to console her. But before he can speak anything, his wife has speak up.

”It's ok dear. If even the old patriarch of spirit dao sect can't do anything. Then it's fate. Even our son can't use spirit qi his entire life. We still have ability to provide for him. And no matter what happen in the future. He'll be our son forever.
