Chapter 128

Although they were different from the traditional materials of the cultivation world, their effects were similar.

Spatial equipment, defensive Dharma treasures, and so on.

Perhaps he could refine some of these now.

Jiang Yan's divine sense wove through the materials, marking down good items whenever he saw them.

Alice's arrival had truly filled Shushan's inventory with quite a lot of precious resources.

After counting for a long time, Jiang Yan finally deposited these materials and supplies into the sect's treasury.

At this moment, Zhongli had also roughly finished explaining some of Shushan's rules to the group.

Jiang Yan turned his gaze back to Venti and the others.

It was evident that after learning this information from Zhongli, the group was experiencing an indescribable shock.

Even Alice, who had read through many cultivation novels, felt that true cultivation was far more powerful than she had imagined.

"It seems you all have some understanding of cultivation now. Since that is the case, we need not waste any more time."

"Let us test your spirit root aptitudes and formally step into the world of cultivation."

As he spoke, Jiang Yan waved his hand, and a profound grand array immediately appeared before them.

This was the array Jiang Yan had previously devised for testing spirit root aptitudes.

He had originally intended to use it for batch testing when the sect gates were opened wide in the future.

But using it now was not a problem either.

"Everyone, step into the array."

Jiang Yan reminded them in a gentle voice. The group exchanged glances and stepped into the array together.

Immediately, pillars of light shot into the sky from above Venti and Alice's heads.

Jiang Yan was unfazed; he turned his head to look at Zhongli and said with a hint of amusement:

"I said it before: Teyvat is full of geniuses, and here are two more with Heavenly Spirit Roots."

Zhongli nodded with a light smile; he did not feel surprised by the results for Venti and Alice.

One of them was a spirit of the thousand winds, and the other was a spirit herself.

Alice's own origins were mysterious, and even Zhongli couldn't say for sure.

It was perfectly normal for them to have Heavenly Spirit Roots.

"Venti, Wind-type Heavenly Spirit Root."

"Alice, Fire-type Heavenly Spirit Root."

"Congratulations to you both."

Hearing Jiang Yan's words, Venti and Alice were clearly very happy.

Zhongli had just explained the specific situation regarding spirit roots to them earlier.

A Heavenly Spirit Root was an incredibly formidable talent.

As long as one cultivated, they would surely advance by leaps and bounds; one only had to look at how easily Zhongli had mastered the Sword Art and the Clear Origin Divine Incantation not long after he began cultivating to know this.

"Lisa, High-grade Lightning Spirit Root."

Jiang Yan turned to look at Lisa and said, and the latter felt a bit regretful.

She hadn't really expected her talent to be comparable to Alice and the others.

But…

Still, a High-grade Spirit Root was also in the ranks of geniuses, and Lisa was satisfied.

Seeming to notice that Lisa looked a bit dejected, Jiang Yan comforted her in a soft voice:

"Lisa, you need not be sad. In the world of cultivation, a High-grade Single Spirit Root is already a very powerful talent."

"Most of Shushan's inner sect disciples do not possess such talent."

"Moreover, if I am not mistaken, you also have a special constitution that has yet to be awakened."

"I do not know what this unawakened special constitution is, but as long as it is a special constitution, one is a cultivation genius."

"In the future, perhaps by some stroke of luck, you will be able to activate your special constitution."

At this, Lisa no longer felt sad.

She bowed with a smile.

"Thank you for your comfort, Sect Master."

Jiang Yan's gaze turned to Keli, who was holding Alice's hand and looking at him with curiosity.

This time, the real treasure was hidden right here.

"Keli… Fire Spirit Body."

"Congratulations, Alice. Keli's talent can be called the strongest among all the disciples currently in Shushan."

Zhongli's heart stirred, and he asked curiously:

"The Fire Spirit Body—how does it compare to the Sword Body and the Pure Yin Body?"

Alice also looked at Jiang Yan with anticipation; this concerned Keli's future.

However, Jiang Yan's very first sentence made Alice feel a bit disappointed.

"The Fire Spirit Body is a basic Fire-type constitution."

Alice rubbed Keli's head and forced a smile:

"A basic constitution, huh! It doesn't matter. As long as little Keli has talent, that's fine. Even if she didn't, I would still love her, and I will always protect Keli well."

As a mother, how could she not hope for her child to be exceptionally gifted?

However, Alice would never use such thoughts to suppress Keli.

Not to mention that Keli had a constitution; even if she didn't, Alice would still think Keli was wonderful.

A Fire Spirit Body, even if it were a basic constitution, was still many times superior to that of an ordinary person!

Her precious daughter was still a genius!

Thinking this, Alice happily kissed Keli.

"I have said it before: Keli's talent will be the best among all Shushan disciples. This statement is not to comfort you."

Jiang Yan shook his head with a smile and said softly:

"Admittedly, Keli's current constitution cannot compare to the Pure Yin Body or the Sword Body, but as I also said, Keli's Fire Spirit Body is a basic constitution. Whenever a Fire Spirit Body is born in the cultivation world, it triggers competition among many sects. A Fire Spirit Body that grows up is known as a peerless prodigy of the cultivation world."

"They are existences that can rank at the very top of the cultivation world's Prodigy Rankings, and are monstrous talents that appear only once in ten thousand years."

"Every word of this is true."

This was not Jiang Yan trying to fool them.

On that jade talisman, Jiang Yan had caught a glimpse of a Fire Spirit Body genius who had reached the top ten of the Prodigy Rankings.

And that was among all the geniuses in the vast cultivation world—to be able to rank in the top ten!

In fact, according to the records on the jade talisman, Shushan also had such a genius…

"Sect Master, are you intentionally teasing us?"

Alice looked at Jiang Yan with resentment. The latter laughed in spite of himself, shook his head, and looked at Zhongli, saying softly:

"Sect Leader Zhongli, you have already stayed on Dragon Head Peak for two days; I imagine you have seen the records regarding the former Shushan Ancestor Xuanxi."

Zhongli nodded slightly and said solemnly:

"Ancestor Xuanxi was the grand-master of my master, Mo Yixi, and she also held the position of head of the Law Enforcement Hall back then."

"She was known as the number one female cultivator throughout the ages, breaking through to ascend within a thousand years, and even achieving the status of a Heavenly Immortal."

Jiang Yan's smile became even more meaningful.

"Do you still remember what Ancestor Xuanxi's constitution was?"

Zhongli naturally blurted out the answer to this.

"Ancestor Xuanxi possessed the rare female Red Emperor Burning Heaven Body."

As his voice fell, Zhongli turned his head to look at Keli in disbelief.

"The Fire Spirit Body… can evolve into the Red Emperor Burning Heaven Body?!"

82. The first personal disciple of the Sect Master, Keli!

Seeing that Zhongli had finally figured it out, Jiang Yan nodded and said:

"That's right. The Fire Spirit Body is the constitution that precedes the evolution into the Red Emperor Burning Heaven Body."

"It can also be said that only the Fire Spirit Body has the qualifications to evolve into the Red Emperor Burning Heaven Body."

Zhongli pursed his lips with complex emotions, and the look he gave Keli was as if he had seen some kind of monstrous talent.
