Yunmeng Mountain, 300 kilometers away from Anrong City.
There was a small, run-down Daoist temple on the mountain. It seemed that very few people came here. However, there were two Daoist priests, one young and one old, and one young girl in the main hall of the Daoist temple. They were sitting around a small square table. The small square table was covered in mist, and the whole room was filled with the fragrance of wild tea.
Although the tea was fragrant, the young Daoist priest's attention was on the young girl. He said without hesitation, "I say, young lady, you should think about it carefully. My master and I are both immortals. It is your fortune that I like you. In the future, if you become my dao companion, your martial arts will naturally improve by leaps and bounds. I wonder how many people will envy you."
"Sorry, I am not interested in you at all," the young girl said coldly. The young girl coldly said. If it wasn't for the fact that she knew that these two Daoist priests were too powerful, she would've cursed them.
"Young lady, don't be too harsh with your words."
The old Daoist priest said while drinking tea, "It is your fortune that my disciple has taken a liking to you. If you can become his dao companion, it is your fortune that you have cultivated for three lifetimes. In the secular world, your martial arts are not bad, but in the eyes of my generation, it is not even good enough. People of my generation eat wind and drink dew, absorb the essence of the sun and moon, and fly on swords. It is indeed the life of an immortal. It is indeed your fortune that my disciple has taken a liking to you. In the mortal world, there were trillions of living beings, but very few of them had the fortune to become immortals. If you become my disciple, you will immediately realize that your previous martial arts are not worth mentioning. "
After saying this, the old Daoist priest took a sip of tea leisurely and waited for the young girl to come to a realization and kowtow. After all, with his status, even in the Kunlun Realm, there were countless people who wanted to be his disciple's disciple. As long as he said the word, countless female cultivators would fight to be his dao companion. For the sake of strength, realm, and status, these female cultivators were willing to give up everything.
"Thank you for your kindness, senior, but I know that I do not have this fate, and I do not have this fortune. Just let me continue to suffer in the secular world," the young girl replied politely.
"You don't know how to appreciate favors!" The old Daoist was enraged. He slammed his palm and the tea cup on the table flew out, hitting the trunk of an ancient cypress tree in front of the temple. Then, the tea in the cup suddenly ignited and the raging flames burned the ancient cypress tree clean in an instant.
"Master, don't be angry!" The little Taoist hurriedly got up and pleaded, "This young lady was just momentarily confused. Young lady, please reconsider. My master has a bad temper. Once he gets angry, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
"I've thought it through very clearly." The young girl said indifferently, "You have your paths, and I have my own. I appreciate your good intentions, but I hope that you won't interfere and respect my own opinions."
"You really don't know how to appreciate favors!" The old Daoist flew into a rage. "If it weren't for the fact that you have the Thunder Spirit Root and that you are a good material, I wouldn't have been able to bear to see you waste away in the mortal world. Out of good intentions, I would have given you some pointers and betrothed you to my disciple as a Daoist companion. I didn't expect that you would refuse me over and over again. Do you think that I don't dare to cripple your Kung Fu?"
"Master, don't be angry!"
The little Daoist pleaded for the young girl again and then turned to persuade the young girl beside him. "Young lady, we are really doing this for your own good. Furthermore, I truly like you, which is why I want you to be my Daoist companion. Don't worry, I will treat you well. "
"So you're saying that I should be thanking you?" When the young girl saw that she couldn't compromise, she decided to go tit for tat. "You like me, so I should be your Daoist companion? Haven't you ever thought that I don't like you at all! That's right, with your background and cultivation, there might be many women who want to be your Daoist companion, but I'm not that kind of person. Furthermore, I already have someone I like! "
"Shameless!"
The old Daoist's entire body was brimming with killing intent. "Woman, you simply don't know what's good for you! I, Tian Xingzi, am famous throughout the universe, and all Daoist friends have to give me some face. I didn't expect that a woman like you would be so unappreciative and go against my request. If I don't cripple you, how will I, Tian Xingzi, have any face left! "
"Master — —"
The little Daoist begged again. "Master, please be lenient. This lady is only momentarily confused. If she knew our origins, she would definitely join our sect happily and become my Daoist companion. As for the fact that she likes another man, that's easy to deal with. As long as I crush him to death, this lady will naturally be mine. "
"Dream on!"
The young girl scoffed coldly, and her tone was filled with disdain. "Even if I die, I won't leave with you. Furthermore, compared to the person I like, you're still too far off! "
The little Daoist was so angry that his face turned ashen.
"You're courting death!"
The old Daoist roared angrily and grabbed at the top of the young girl's head. Instantly, the young girl let out a heart-wrenching scream. Then, a few rays of light peeled off from the young girl's body and were caught by the old Daoist's palm.
"Master … You … You actually stripped her of her spirit root?" The little Daoist stared at his own master in shock. He knew what stripping away one's spirit root meant. To a cultivator, the spirit root was the foundation of cultivation. Without the spirit root, it was impossible to continue cultivating. Furthermore, all of one's cultivation would instantly vanish into thin air. In the Kunlun Realm where he was from, stripping away one's spirit root was one of the cruelest punishments.
"That's right! I've already stripped her of her spirit root. What an ungrateful woman! "
The old Daoist snorted. Then, he called the little Daoist over and inserted a few rays of light from his palm into the little Daoist's body. "Xiao Xing, you must remember that the Great Dao is heartless. The path of cultivation is to seize the fortune of all living things in the world. As long as it is something in the world, no matter if it is a heavenly treasure, a demonic beast, or a human, as long as it can be used for my cultivation, I should seize its fortune without hesitation. I've already taken away this lady's lightning spirit root and injected its essence into your body. Although she didn't have the fortune to become your Daoist companion, she can only use this method to repay your favor. With her pure spirit root, it will be much easier for you to cultivate the Five Lightning Dao Technique. "
The few traces of pity on the little Daoist's face gradually disappeared. Then, he looked at the young girl on the ground like a child looking at an abandoned toy. "Master is right. Without her spirit root, she is no different from those vulgar beauties in the secular world. Master, let's go. It's really not worth wasting so much time here. However, the next time I return, I will definitely trample the man she likes to death! "
