Su Jingwen saw Ye Moâs worried look and quickly said, "Donât worry, Yimo should be fine. When the four of us came to the small world, we asked around for you. Many people knew you and due to you, no one dared to be rude to us. However, everyone guessed that you went to Xin Jia Mountainâs teleportation formation so we went there too and were brought here."
Seeing Ye Mo calm down, Su Jingwen took a deep breath and continued, "I was a little scared on the teleportation formation and was worried about Yimo, so I held her hand. But when the teleportation formation stopped, we found that we didnât end up at the same place as sister Yuehua and Wanqing. We had been split up."
Ye Mo nodded, he expected this.
"Howâs Yimo?" Ye Mo asked worriedy.
"We were teleported to an ordinary town about 600 km from Jiang Chuan city. We went to that town and Yimoâs storage ring had a lot of things, so we didnât need to worry about living."
"We were planning to spend some time until I reached chi gathering middle stage and then go look for you and sister Yuehua, but I was stuck around level two. One day, we were cultivating outside when Yimo cultivated out lightning sparks. Just when we were happy, a cultivator saw us two."
"What happened?" Ye Mo began to worry. Yimo was only in chi gathering. They had no means of resistance against an ill willed cultivator.
Su Jingwen grabbed Ye Moâs hand and said, "That cultivator stopped and said, âShe has lightning spirit root, great, great...â then he asked if Yimo wanted to be his disciple. Yimo didnât want to of course, and she said she wanted to find her dad, her dad was stronger than everyone. That man saw this and didnât force her, he raised his hand and sent his palm towards a distance mountain peak. That mountain was about a few kilometers away from us, but it was completely pulverized by him. Then, that person asked, âIs your dad as strong as me?â "
"How did Yimo reply?" Ye Mo knew that someone that could do that was at least body condensation state or above. It was far from something he could compare to.
Su Jingwen moved closer to Ye Mo and said, "We were both very shocked, he was like an immortal. Although Yimo admitted that person was strong she still said her dad was stronger. That person smiled and didnât argue. He said that you canât find your dad now. Although you have a lightning spirit root, you donât have a lightning cultivation method. Even if you cultivate for a hundred years, you wonât be able to achieve anything.
Then, he said that the North Far State we were in was billions of kilometers long. Even if we reached his level, we might not be able to find an individual, much less now. If Yimo wanted to find you, she had to become his disciple and improve her power."
Ye Mo knew Yimo had agreed of course, but he still asked, "Did Yimo agree?"
Su Jingwen nodded. "She thought about it and agreed, but Yimo said that I had to go as well. I was very happy thinking that I might be able to cultivate if I had a master. That person tested Yimoâs spirit root and was very happy.
"But he looked at me and sighed after a long while. He told me that I had no spirit root and would never be able to cultivate. He told me that I should never let someone test my spirit root or I would die."
Su Jingwen said, "Although Yimo asked me to go with her, that person said she could only come out at least ten years later. Yimo didnât agree but that person said if she didnât become his disciple, she wouldnât be able to find you in 100 years. Yimo could only agree but I didnât want to stay there alone for ten years so I came out to test my luck and see if I could find you..."
Su Jingwen said shakily, "After that person took Yimo away, I learned to masquerade and left the town. I roamed around and half a year later, I came to Fu Mo city, but I didnât stay there for long and the city was destroyed by two powerful cultivators. I followed the asylum seekers to Jiang Chuan city and my bracelet was taken on the way. Now that I think about it, I should thank that person, or I might never have seen you again."
Su Jingwen couldnât help but start crying again.
Ye Mo grabbed her hand tightly knowing that she needed to vent out her emotions.
Su Jingwen continued after a while, "Later I knew that cultivators had longer lifespans than ordinary people, and I was getting lost. After I came to Jiang Chuan city, I didnât dare to go work for a house, fearing that they would see through my disguise, so I could only roam the streets. That day, there was a lot of snow and I thought I would have no future. I just wanted to walk around in the city and find a peaceful place to leave the world, but the heavens pitied me and let me meet you..."
Ye Mo looked at her and knew Yimo didnât give the storage ring to her, she probably hadnât thought about it since she was just a child.
Although Ye Mo was still a little worried, he could breath easy that Yimo was taken away by a qian bei who approved of her talent.
"Can I really cultivate?" Su Jingwen asked again worriedy.
Ye Mo nodded. "Of course, donât worry."
Suddenly, Ye Mo thought of something and looked at her, "Wait, you said youâve been at chi gathering level two, but how come I donât sense any cultivation chi on you?"
Su Jingwen said dejectedly, "At the start, I was cultivating even faster than Wanqing, but after stage 2 chi gathering, I wasnât about to progress. Yimoâs master said I had no talent and I wouldnât be able to cultivate no matter how hard I worked. In my despair, I gave up cultivation and my cultivation chi gradually dissipated.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Thinking about what Yimoâs master said, he took out a spirit root testing machine and said, "Put your hand inside, Iâll test for you."
He found that none of the beads lit up indeed. She really didnât have a spirit root, but Su Jingwen said, "Yimoâs master tested for me last time too, but he had one white bead that lit up and dimmed down repeatedly."
"Are you a hidden spirit root?" Ye Mo blurted out. His testing machine was too low quality and couldnât test it out.
People who had hidden spirit roots like her would have their cultivation chi dissipate if they didnât cultivate for a while.
This was a leaking body, also called leaking spirit root. If she was really a hidden spirit root, it was rather amazing she could reach chi gathering level two.
But if the hidden spirit root could be activated, it would be the fastest spirit root. Yimoâs master said she had no spirit root because he knew that hidden spirit roots couldnât be activated at all.
It needed the 9 coloured lotus to activate, and that was something of the legends. Who would have it? Even if they did, they would use it to refine their own spirit root and not use it to activate a hidden spirit root.
Ye Mo was sure there was another way to activate it, and that was possession. That was why he told her not to let other people test her spirit root.
At this moment, Ye Mo finally felt safe about Yimo. The hidden spirit root was the easiest spirit root to possess. Once it was possessed, it would be activated immediately. But Yimoâs master didnât say this and warned her instead, meaning that he was indeed a respectable qian bei.
Ye Mo didnât have the 9 colour lotus, but he knew that there was another way to do it.
It was to make the rainbow spirit pill with a lotus with more than 5 colors and the 10000 year stalagmite marrow.
He just happened to have it and two 5 colour lotuses.
She was a hidden spirit root and the white bead lit up. This meant that after activation, she might be a mutant ice spirit root, a pure one too. A pure ice spirit root activated with hidden spirit root would be the best spirit root Ye Mo had ever seen.
"Jingwen, come to my room. Iâll help you concoct the rainbow spirit pill. Your talent might be the best amongst us." Even Ye Mo was desperate to know how fast she could cultivate once activated.
