Chapter 627: Actually, I Too Have a Spiritual Root

Back then, few people in Dan Valley knew the truth; they were basically the older senior officials of the valley.

These seniors are now divided into two factions: one is the active faction close to the Valley Master, the other is the passive faction that secretly supports Ling Xianliu and now chooses to keep a low profile.

"Ye Qingran's matter must not be known to those Elders of the passive faction!"

At the mention of Ling Xianliu, Valley Master Ling Tian's expression darkened.

Originally, he expended great effort to drive Ling Xianliu away and took the position of Lord of Dan Valley.

Now, there are signs that Ling Xianliu may return to kill, and he will absolutely not allow it!

Dan Valley belongs to him, Ling Tian, and cannot be returned to Ling Xianliu!

Ling Tian gritted his teeth fiercely.

Had he known it would be like this, he should have exterminated Ling Xianliu from the start!

The other Elders, upon hearing this, all nodded.

If this matter becomes known to those Elders of the passive faction, they will inevitably go to Shenzhou Academy to look for Ye Qingran.

After all, Ye Qingran's place is highly likely to have information about Ling Xianliu.

The old obstinates of the passive faction are all loyal followers of Ling Xianliu; once they learn Ling Xianliu is still alive, they will surely rebel, welcome him back to Dan Valley, and let him retake the Valley Master seat!

"Looks like I, the Lord, must go personally!"

Ling Tian stared toward the direction of Shenzhou Academy, clenched his fist, and the veins on the back of his hand bulged!

Having emerged from the ancient battlefield ruins, Ye Qingran fell into a deep sleep.

Comprehending the true meaning of the Spiritual Root and actually possessing a body with a Spiritual Root are two different matters.

Ye Qingran's Spiritual Root is herself.

However, for this body to evolve into a Spiritual Root spirit form, it also requires a process.

Three days later, Ye Qingran finally woke up.

The room was empty, but familiar voices came from outside.

"Dad, you're being unfair!"

"You stinky brat, lower your voice!"

"Oh oh~"

The sound of a dutiful father and filial son made Ye Qingran show a gentle smile.

During this period, she often reflected that being able to come to this world was her blessing.

She will cherish this hard-won life.

She sensed her Spiritual Root and found that her senses seemed to have evolved.

Especially her perception of the world's spiritual energy, which had increased by an incalculable multiple!

"Is this the power of the Spiritual Root?" Even Ye Qingran couldn't help but feel shocked.

It should be noted that before this, she had no Spiritual Root at all; now that she has one, she feels the difference is truly huge.

"If I continue cultivating in this state, won't I soon catch up to Fu Hanxiu?"

Ye Qingran's eyes flickered with crystalline light.

"By the way, Chaos Qing Lian Seed!"

Remembering she still had a Chaos Qing Lian Seed, she took it out and placed it in her palm.

Because most of its life force had been consumed by her, the Chaos Qing Lian Seed now looked lifeless, indistinguishable from an ordinary seed.

Ye Qingran examined it, shook her head, and said, "I have no idea when you'll sprout?"

Because dealing with the undead drained too much life force from the Chaos Qing Lian Seed, it fell into dormancy.

Compared to its normal state, a dormant Qing Lian Seed is even harder to sprout, let alone bloom!

The undead were only temporarily repelled; they will quickly recover and return.

Given the undead's current strength, the Seal of the ancient battlefield ruins cannot contain it; once it emerges from the ruins, it will become a nightmare for all academy people and even the entire Beimingzhou.

Ye Qingran couldn't help but grasp the Chaos Qing Lian Seed.

"Mother, are you awake?"

Seeing Ye Qingran push the door open, the adult and the two children looked over in unison.

The eyes of the three—father and two sons—shone with starlight, softening Ye Qingran's heart.

These are her husband and children!

"Come let mother hold you; mother misses you so much!"

When the voice fell, the playful Xiaohu Xiaocheng instantly abandoned his father and ran toward mother.

Ye Qingran cradled them tightly, inhaling their milky scent, and blissfully closed her eyes.

Seeing this scene, Fu Hanxiu felt both moved and jealous.

This woman, upon waking, didn't look for him first, but for her son!

In her mind, is her son more important than him?

The Emperor Sovereign's jealousy radiated sourness for ten miles!

He could only glare at the two stinky brats to vent his anger.

Ye Qingran, from afar, smelled the sourness and couldn't help but roll her eyes.

How can this man be so petty, getting jealous over his own child's affection?

"Your father is jealous; mother, could you go soothe him?"

Ye Qingran whispered softly into Xiaohu Xiaocheng's ear.

However, she intentionally let Fu Hanxiu hear.

"Fine. How is dad acting like a child? Still getting jealous?"

"You're always fighting us for mother, truly disrespectful to the elders!"

Fu Hanxiu: "......"

Is this his child?

They're only in their twenties, how can they look old?

But Ye Qingran quickly came to their side, and they were instantly soothed.

"Is anything uncomfortable?"

"No!"

"Fu Hanxiu, I was thinking earlier that the three of you—father and son—are all Imperial Spiritual Root. If I weren't an Imperial Spiritual Root, wouldn't I be holding you back? I didn't expect…"

Ye Qingran winked at Fu Hanxiu.

Fu Hanxiu gave a helpless smile, "Look at you, so smug!"

"Let me tell you a secret: I'm actually an Immortal Root."

"What?" Ye Qingran gasped, "You're clearly an Imperial Spiritual Root!"

"Immortal Root isn't very useful; I deliberately let the Immortal Root take the form of an Imperial Spiritual Root."

"......"

Alright!

Ye Qingran was too exhausted to keep complaining.

Indeed, you're still the big boss!

But…

"Our child…"

Ye Qingran suddenly became a bit worried about Xiaohu Xiaocheng.

"What are you thinking?" Fu Hanxiu tapped Ye Qingran's forehead, "Did you think everyone, like you, a little pervert, can grow an Immortal Root on the first try?"

Ye Qingran realized, "You mean your Immortal Root also appeared later?"

"Mm."

Ye Qingran exhaled, "You scared me; I thought our child had regressed…"

Xiaohu Xiaocheng: "???"

Mother, are you being polite?

Yet on second thought, Ye Qingran also understood.

She probably didn't grow an Immortal Root the first time either.

After all, she had her Holy Spiritual Root removed by Ye Huanhuan, which allowed her to grow a Spiritual Root in one go.

Does this count as a blessing in disguise?

At that moment, hurried footsteps came from outside the gate; an Academy disciple arrived with news that Lu Yunfeng was about to collapse!
