Chapter 52: Mutant dual spirit roots? It's two mutant single spirit roots!

That Jinhua cat merely glanced casually at Ye Ruyan,

Just such a simple glance,

yet it made her delicate body tremble uncontrollably with anger.

How can there be such an infuriating cat in this world!

Ye Ruyan gritted her teeth and silently cursed in her heart.

Recalling what she had just experienced,

she suddenly realized,

it turned out all this was merely that hateful Jinhua cat toying with her!

For a moment, anger, humiliation, and unwillingness surged like a tide in her heart,

making her wish to tear that hateful cat before her into pieces, to slice it a thousand times!

You just wait for me!

Ye Ruyan forcibly suppressed the blazing anger in her heart,

and fiercely shouted these words at the Jinhua cat in her mind.

At this moment,

she had already made up her mind,

she would certainly make that ignorant cat pay a painful price!

Originally I wanted to use gentle means, slowly tame you, and make you loyal to me.

But now it seems these methods are useless.

Since I only need the final result, I don't need to worry about the process.

Once I find a Beast Taming Ring and fasten it securely on you, this beast,

then if I don't torment you horribly for a whole year, I, Ye Ruyan, will henceforth change my name to Ye Xiuxiu!

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes.

Liu Yuesong chuckled and said,

Since Xiuxiu is eating a peach,

then Ruyan, you go first to test your spirit root,

Testing the spirit root first is also a priority, beating Ye Xiuxiu by a head.

Thinking this, Liu Yuesong felt very pleased.

Ye Ruyan slightly calmed her emotions, nodded and replied:

Okay, Mother.

For now, it's still urgent to go check my spirit root.

As for that damned Jinhua cat, let it roam freely for a while longer.

Anyway, for now it's only being nice to Ye Xiuxiu and hasn't been truly tamed.

Just consider it her temporarily keeping this spirit beast for me.

Thinking this,

Ye Ruyan took a deep breath,

and turned to walk toward the place where spirit roots are tested.

Ye Xiuxiu leisurely bit into the fragrant Jinhua Peach in her hand,

and her gaze fixed firmly on Ye Ruyan as she steadily walked forward.

At this moment, her heart was filled with curiosity and anticipation,

she secretly wondered what kind of spirit root she would possess.

You see, for cultivators,

the attribute and quality of one's spirit root are crucial factors.

How wonderful it would be to have a single spirit root!

Ye Xiuxiu thought this,

and she couldn't help but fantasize:

If she were a bit luckier,

obtaining a mutant single spirit root would be even more perfect!

After all,

mutant single spirit roots are usually the strongest and rarest.

Mutant sword spirit root, unmatched in attack,

mutant ice spirit root, unmatched in technique,

mutant pure yang spirit root, the bane of evil spirits,

Only seeing Ye Ruyan step forward with light and resolute steps,

she stood before Ye Qingping.

Ye Qingping's face beamed with a kind and amiable smile,

and he softly said, "Ruyan, you just need to lightly place your hand on this crystal ball, and you'll know your spirit root condition."

Ye Ruyan extended her right hand without hesitation,

and lightly covered it onto the surface of that crystal ball emitting blue light.

In an instant, a dazzling blazing light like a lively serpent,

swiftly traveled along Ye Ruyan's arm to her whole body,

Then it rushed back into the crystal sphere at an extremely fast speed.

Finally,

The light converged at the exact center of the crystal sphere into a unique emblem that shone with dazzling golden radiance.

"It's a single spirit root, and it's a golden spirit root!"

After Ye Qingping witnessed the scene,

he couldn't help but shout aloud.

One should know that even when the Celestial Gate recruits disciples,

its minimum standard is merely a dual spirit root.

Yet the Ye Ruyan before them directly displayed such a top‑grade single spirit root!

Even Ye Qingping himself,

had only possessed the wood and gold spirit roots back then,

Back then, after enduring countless hardships, he managed to step into the Celestial Gate to cultivate,

and later, by a fortunate opportunity, he removed the golden spirit root portion.

Speaking of it, he is now also an elder of the Celestial Gate,

but he usually just stays at home.

Liu Yuesong, upon seeing that Ye Ruyan had a single spirit root, immediately shouted excitedly.

"Great, Ruyan!"

She trembled, clutching the hem of her robe with her fingertips,

gazing at the golden radiance blooming within the crystal sphere, tears shimmering in her eyes.

Ye Ruyan is a person of extraordinary innate talent,

possessing an enviable single spirit root.

However, compared with that,

Liu Yuesong's spirit root is far inferior,

being merely an ordinary triple spirit root.

Nevertheless, Liu Yuesong now has a beloved daughter who also possesses a single spirit root,

which truly makes her beam with joy!

Putting aside whether this daughter can be used to suppress Ye Xiuxiu,

at least it can be affirmed that Ye Xiuxiu trying to suppress Ruyan in return is almost impossible.

One should know that among these spirit roots,

the most outstanding and rare is the single spirit root,

at most it can only be on par.

At this moment, Ye Qingping, full of hope, shouted, "Xiuxiu, it's your turn!"

Ye Qingping's expectations for Ye Xiuxiu are even higher,

after all, Ye Xiuxiu possesses a companion cultivation method,

at worst it is still a single spirit root.

He stared intently at Ye Xiuxiu, his gaze full of expectation and encouragement toward her.

Ye Xiuxiu obediently nodded,

cradling a cute Jinhua cat,

and trotted forward with light, quick steps.

When she gently placed her delicate little hand on the object being tested,

she suddenly felt a warm, gentle force flowing within her like a trickling stream.

A thin mist suddenly spread inside the crystal sphere.

Within the steaming clouds, a phantom of an ancient book with a gilt cover first materialized,

its pages turning on their own without wind,

and beside the volume,

another figure of a fully gilt little person appeared.

When the crowd witnessed this strange sight,

each person's face showed astonishment and bewilderment,

because before this,

such a scene had never been seen,

there have been dual spirit roots, there have been mutated spirit roots,

but never a mutated dual spirit root,

At that moment, Liu Yuesong in the crowd was the first to regain his composure,

He stared ahead, his mouth corner gradually lifting,

showing a look of satisfied smile, cheerfully saying,

"Xiuxiu, so you turn out to be a rare mutated dual spirit root!"

His voice was full of surprise and admiration.

"Not bad, not bad. Though it is a bit inferior to Ruyan's single spirit root, yours is a mutated dual spirit root,"

"Its quality even surpasses ordinary dual spirit roots,"

After Ye Ruyan saw the mutated dual spirit root displayed by Ye Xiuxiu,

They also couldn't help but be slightly startled,

They secretly began to ponder:

"I never expected that in this life, Ye Xiuxiu's talent would be so outstanding, that a mutant dual spirit root would actually appear."

Her thoughts involuntarily drifted back to her previous life,

Back then, Ye Xiuxiu merely possessed an ordinary five spirit roots—metal, wood, water, fire, earth all present.

Thinking back to when she first learned she had five spirit roots,

Ye Xiuxiu, that innocent simpleton, simply burst into joy,

As if she had picked up a treasure.

But in reality, the more spirit roots one has,

the worse one's aptitude becomes.

After all, the more varied and complex the elements within one's body,

the greater the interference encountered during cultivation becomes.

"Not bad, Xiuxiu,"

Bai Qingxia encouraged.

But at this moment, Ye Qingping slightly furrowed their brow,

After pondering for a moment, they then slowly spoke,

"This is not a mutant dual spirit root,"

"but rather two mutant single spirit roots."
