Chapter 69: Birthday Celebration (6)

Sects would give anyone the opportunity to partic.i.p.ate in the sect a.s.sessment as long as they were recommended by a mighty figure. Mu Su’s position naturally meant he could recommend people, but if others found out he recommended a girl with no spirit root to enter a sect, it would become the biggest joke!
Indeed, Mu Su was taken aback for a while.
Did Ye Qingtang not have a spirit root?
Standing aside aloofly, Ye Qingtang watched as the Great Elder tried hard to destroy her everything once again and sneered deep down.
Then, the Great Elder reproached Ye Qingtang, “Qingtang, although Lord Mu Su is open-minded, you cannot act so absurdly just for your own selfish purposes. Given your condition, you would simply be unable to pa.s.s the sect a.s.sessment without a spirit root, and this will only embarra.s.s Lord Mu Su.”
A complicated expression was etched on Mu Su’s face. Looking at Ye Qingtang, he asked, “Did your spirit root really break? Are you able to show your spirit root?”
Showing the spirit root was a way of materializing one’s spirit root to show others by forming a replica of the spirit root in one’s palm. This was used to check the quality of the spirit root. If Ye Qingtang’s spirit root really was broken, she would definitely be unable to show her spirit root.
Glancing over the Great Elder, Ye Qingtang looked at Mu Su and replied, “It did break previously, but… I can try.”
Then, Ye Qingtang stepped forward and raised her right hand in front of everyone.
A faint light slowly gathered in Ye Qingtang’s palm.
“Show your spirit root!” cheered everyone.
Then, the lingering halo in Ye Qingtang’s palm gathered bit by bit, forming a tiny spirit root. Along with the formation of the spirit root was the s.h.i.+ning of brilliant and l.u.s.trous light.
The moment the spirit root was formed, it was enveloped in seven colors of light
The grade of a spirit root could be differentiated into seven types based on the color of its halo.
The seven colors of the rainbow are used as a standard.
Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet. A spirit root with a color further back on the spectrum would have a higher quality.
The spirit root which Ye You dug out from Ye Qingtang previously was, amongst the seven colors, a blue spirit root.
Although there were indigo and violet ones above it, those two were hard to come by even in thousands of years.
It could be said that a green spirit root was already extremely rare. Otherwise, Yunxiao Sect Sect Master would not have made an exception to accept Ye You as a disciple.
At that instant, everyone was taken aback when they saw a tiny spirit root form in Ye Qingtang’s palm.
A spirit root with a red glow quietly floated on Ye Qingtang’s palm. It was an extremely perfect spirit root with no traces of spoilage at all.
The Great Elder was instantly shocked when he saw the red spirit root in Ye Qingtang’s hand!
How could this be!
He clearly saw Ye Ye You personally digging out Ye Qingtang’s spirit root with his own eyes!
How could Ye Qingtang still have a spirit root?
“Didn’t you say that Tang Tang’s spirit root was broken…” The Second Elder looked at Ye Ling blankly. When Ye Qingtang’s spirit root broke, he was still in seclusion. Hence, he did not know about the incident.
Similarly, Ye Ling was confused. “Tang Tang’s spirit root did break. Her original spirit root was a blue spirit root, but the current one is only a red spirit root…”
The breaking of a spirit root was simultaneous to destroying all hopes of cultivating the spirit root. No one had ever heard of any saying that a spirit root would regrow after breaking.
Mu Su looked at the red spirit root in Ye Qingtang’s palm and asked, “Your spirit root really broke before?”
Ye Qingtang nodded.
Mu Su could not help but grow curious. If a spirit root broke, there was basically no possibility of rebuilding it. However, the spirit root that Ye Qingtang had shown no abnormality. Immediately remembering the real reason behind his visit today, Mu Su thought to himself and said inexplicably, “The rebuilding of lady Ye’s spirit root is indeed rare. If Lady Ye has the time, why not come with me? Although I cannot tell what happened to your spirit root, there is someone who may be able to. As for the recommendation, I will agree to your request.”
