it seems fair and just!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But in reality, without sufficient resources, multi-elemental cultivators struggle to survive the early stages, and face more bottlenecks!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, hehehe…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tai Xu did not draw a direct conclusion, but merely chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before He Pingsheng could speak, he added: “There are still true heavenly prodigies!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“For example, that Xiao Xuan from the Ice Extreme Sect you fought earlier!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“His Void elemental root has enjoyed perfect heavenly timing, earthly advantage, and human harmony from start to finish—that is the true heavenly prodigy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng said: “But disciple believes the Void elemental root, though seemingly favored by heaven and earth, has a grave flaw!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh?” Tai Xu said: “Explain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng said: “The Void elemental root has no form or appearance, and cannot be detected by arrays—thus, ninety-nine percent of Void elemental root cultivators are mistaken for ordinary mortals with no elemental roots, and die in obscurity, never even stepping onto the Immortal Path—is that not tragic?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone like Xiao Xuan is rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tai Xu nodded: “That is true!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough with your reasoning, boy!” Tai Xu reached out, gestured behind his head, and said: “A Daoist nun has rushed to the front of the Tai Xu Hall—by my guess, it’s your former Master… Go quickly and bring her here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You must speak with her about your matter.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng was stunned: “Huh?

The Supreme Elder says he wishes to speak with you in the back.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good!” Yu Ning said: “I also need to speak with the Supreme Elder!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two passed through the hall and entered the back’s Spirit Plant Garden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tai Xu still lay on his chair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Disciple Yu Ning!” Yu Ning’s expression was grim; she knelt sharply before Tai Xu: “I kowtow to you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tai Xu said: “Stand up and speak!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Ning stood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then… under He Pingsheng’s astonished gaze, she drew her sword with a sharp clang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man lying on the recliner remained unperturbed; He Pingsheng was startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you doing?” Tai Xu said: “Are you challenging me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Ning wept: “I’ve just lost two disciples—I now have only seven out of nine.
