Zi Mo waved his hand, and a crystal ball floated in the air. It was the ball used to test Spirit Veins.
"Baby, come, put your hand on it." Zi Mo said to his daughter with a smile. Although a child's Spirit Vein could be seen at the age of one, if the child was too young, the test sphere that was filled with spiritual energy would instead be disadvantageous to the child. Usually, the child would only be tested at the age of five. Therefore, he didn't know what kind of spiritual root his daughter had. However, he was very confident.
For a moment, the whole place quietened down, and all eyes turned to the little girl in the middle.
Probably because it was her first time facing so many people, the little girl was a little nervous. She glanced at her parents, and then weakly turned her head to look at Zhu Yao. Only when she saw Zhu Yao nodding her head, did she finally feel at ease and pressed her little paws onto the ground.
All eyes were fixed on the ball.
Starting from the child's palm, a little blue light seeped out and slowly spread into the ball. In a short while, it had already occupied half of the sphere.
Good. Zi Mo silently praised in the depths of his heart. Usually, the purer a Spirit Vein was, the larger the area the color occupied in the sphere. Occupying half of the sphere was already considered a very good Spirit Vein. As long as another type of Spirit Root appeared, even if it was a Tri Spirit Root, his cultivation would still be greatly improved.
However … as everyone held their breaths and waited, the blue color spread to the entire surface of the crystal ball bit by bit until it covered the entire ball, turning the crystal ball into a blue ball.
Zi Mo's heart which was still cheering earlier, instantly fell to the bottom of the valley.
Gasps could be heard from the crowd.
"No, this is impossible!" Zi Mo's expression instantly turned as pale as snow. Pulling his daughter's hand, he waited for the color in the crystal to disappear. He pressed on it again, but the result was the same as before. There was only a single blue color. A single color represented a single Spirit Root, and blue was …
"Oh my god. It's a Water Heaven Spiritual Root. "
"This is the Pure Yin Body!"
"Pure Yin Body, isn't that a cauldron …"
"And it's the best …"
All sorts of discussions could be heard from the scene. The people from their own sect looked at the little girl in the middle with pity, but the people from other sects who were invited to participate had no qualms at all. He began to size up the child who wasn't even five years old. His eyes were filled with undisguised lust and greed.
Zi Mo's face was already pale to the point where not a single strand of blood could be seen, and he looked as though he was unable to react to such a huge blow.
The child, who was being held tightly by him, also began to panic. Children were the most sensitive, and coupled with the malicious gazes around, she was even more afraid. She wanted to hide, but she was still caught by her father. Her eyes were already misty.
"Sect Master Zi Mo, this humble one has a son as well. He has just built his Foundation, and he's rather compatible with your esteemed daughter." Finally, a Nascent Soul cultivator couldn't help but speak up. He was the Sect Master of Lingxiao Sect, and he thought that the Sect Master was very compatible with the Sect Master's children. That was a Pure Yin Body that could only be found once every few hundred thousand years, an excellent cauldron. No matter how bad one's spirit root was, they would still be able to reach the Nascent Soul stage.
His words seemed to have broken the awkwardness of the audience. The Nascent Soul elders, sect leaders, and legacy disciples of the various sects also asked for her hand in marriage.
Zi Mo was so furious that he nearly puked out blood. However, there was nothing he could do. The daughter he had longed for for so many years … It was a water-type Heaven Spiritual Root. An elemental mystic art could not even protect herself, which meant that she was destined to be a cauldron for the rest of her life. But that was his daughter, the pearl in his palm. How could he bear to part with her?
Little radish was already frightened by this scene. As though she had faintly understood the current situation, she bit her lips, and tears began to drip down.
The others were still arguing over the matter of who would be the one to perform the [Dual Cultivation] with a child.
Zhu Yao frowned, and the pressure from her entire body was instantly released. Everyone present, other than the three Sovereigns, as well as Zi Mo and little radish whom she had intentionally avoided, fell onto the ground with a thud.
There were even a few Azoth-stage disciples who had already puked out blood.
For a moment, the great hall was strangely silent.
Zhu Yao walked down from the seat of honor. She did not intentionally avoid the people lying on the ground, and simply imbued her feet with a wind-type mystic art. Hence, with every step she took, it was as though she was sweeping the floor, sweeping the people who were blocking her path to the two sides.
She walked straight in front of Zi Mo, and lowered her head to look at the little radish who still had tears in her eyes.
With a cold voice, she said. "Kneel, and acknowledge me as your master!"
"Little martial aunt!" Zi Mo instantly widened his eyes. Before he could even be shocked that she was actually a Demigod-stage practitioner, he was already moved by her light words. His pair of old eyes could not help but tear up.
However, Zhu Yao did not even give him a glance. She continued to stare at little radish, and once again said. "Kneel."
Zi Mo seemed to have only just regained his senses, as he hurriedly pulled his daughter, and had her perform the ritual of acknowledging him as her master.
Little radish's tears had yet to dry, yet, she understood the current situation a little. She heavily kowtowed to her three times, and was no longer as lively as before, as she looked at her with a hint of grievance.
"Mn." Zhu Yao nodded, and signaled for her to stand up. Focusing her attention, she tapped on her little forehead, and a blood-colored cloud-like mark appeared on her forehead.
The mark of a personal succeeding disciple. This time, Zi Mo really cried. He hurriedly wiped away his tears, and for the first time, he solemnly bowed to her with cupped fists. "Thank you, little martial aunt."
Zhu Yao coldly glanced at him, and still maintained her cold and aloof demeanor. Don't be infatuated with big sis, big sis is just a legend.
Turning around slightly, she once again strengthened her pressure, especially towards those Nascent Soul practitioners who had once proposed marriage to Zi Mo. Only when she saw the faint traces of blood at the corner of their lips, did she finally stop.
"She's this Sovereign's disciple now. If you wish for a marriage, come look for me at Jade Forest Mountain!"
After saying that, she carried her own disciple, and disappeared from the spot. This lady here is just that domineering, cool, and awesome. Come bite me then.
Only then did the practitioners who were still lying on the ground, finally regained their senses. That person earlier was actually a Sovereign of Jade Forest Mountain. Heavens, that place that specialized in producing perverted practitioners. Didn't they say that Sovereign Yu Yan had already ascended a month ago? Why was there a Demigod Sovereign here, and that terrifying pressure earlier …
Only then did the crowd begin to wipe off their cold sweat, as they regretted their suicidal actions earlier. Although the Pure Yin Physique was very alluring, offending a Demigod practitioner was still very terrifying, alright? Especially when that person was even from Jade Forest Mountain.
The fame of Jade Forest Mountain, was not simply because of the number one practitioner in the cultivation world, Yu Yan, who had just ascended, but because of their terrifying strength. Almost every single successor of Jade Forest Mountain was someone who did not play by the rules, and they were especially famous for being — — protective.
The reason why they dared to publicly propose marriage to Zi Mo, was because they were certain that as a Sect Master, he would not do anything out of line. Adding that the majority of the people who proposed marriage were Nascent Soul practitioners like him, for the sake of the Sect's reputation, he did not dare to openly oppose them.
However, Jade Forest Mountain was different. That place was filled with perverts, and if they were unhappy, they would definitely annihilate your entire family. The Nascent Soul Reverends who had opened their mouths to propose earlier, could not help but panic in their hearts, as they hurriedly bid farewell and returned home. They hoped that person on Jade Forest Mountain would not remember them, and settle the score later.
Zhu Yao brought the frightened little radish back to Jade Forest Mountain, and the moment they landed, she immediately began to bawl loudly. Zhu Yao had always been helpless towards little radishes, and could only pat on her head to console her. However, she was unable to stop little radish's sadness from flowing like a river.
Just when she was at a loss, little radish stopped crying on her own. As she sniffled, she asked pitifully. "Master, what's a Pure Yin Physique?"
"Uh …" Zhu Yao was instantly caught by the question, and she was in a dilemma. How should she explain it? The explanation of this term was simply too inappropriate for children.
"Is it very, very bad?" Little radish raised her tear-filled face, and her eyes faintly looked as though they were about to overflow with tears again.
"Not really." Zhu Yao hesitantly explained, as she stroked her little head.
Little radish fiercely pounced into her embrace, and her tone carried an extremely pitiful tone. "Then why doesn't everyone like Bao Bao? Bao Bao clearly didn't do anything wrong, right? Why doesn't everyone like Bao Bao? "
Zhu Yao sighed. She did not know where to start explaining, and had no choice but to hug her a little tighter. "Don't worry, master is here."
She actually took in a disciple, so in the future, it would be her responsibility. She faintly had a premonition that the bug on her face, might be related to her Spirit Vein. Or perhaps, it was because her Pure Yin Physique was coveted by others, which caused her personality to become distorted, and then, thoughts of destroying the world were born in her mind.
However, with her here this time, she definitely would not let her have the chance to go astray. When she thought of this, Zhu Yao pulled out the little person in her embrace, and seriously began to teach her.
"Bao Bao, no! I should call you Xia Lewei. In the future, you will be the only disciple of my Jade Forest Mountain. Remember, Jade Forest Mountain will never accept a cowardly disciple. No matter how your Spirit Vein is, before you become strong, master will be able to protect you. However, this definitely cannot become the reason for you to be weak, understand? "
Little radish was startled, as she nodded her head as though she understood. After hesitating for a moment, she weakly asked. "Then … If I become strong, will everyone like me?"
"I can't guarantee if everyone will like you or not." Zhu Yao said honestly. "However, I can guarantee that no one will dare to bully you."
Little radish frowned, she was still a little confused. However, there was no rush, she could slowly teach her.
After telling her in detail about studying hard, and improving every day, Zhu Yao then arranged for her to stay in the little straw cottage that she used to live in. Although she did have the urge to take out her master's few jeweled houses to show off, only adversity would spur people to grow, so she forcefully endured it.
As for herself, naturally, she would be sleeping in her previous master's house.
Zhu Yao looked at the familiar tables and chairs in the house, and sat on the only bed. The entire house was filled with her master's scent. This was not the first time she stayed in her master's room. When she was version 2.0, in order to take care of her more conveniently, her master had always slept together with her. However, only this time, did she feel that the house was a little frighteningly cold.
