Chapter 69: Birthday Banquet (6)
A candidate would usually be allowed to take the entrance examination, if he was referred by a powerful person, like Mu Su. But if the character were to refer to someone without spirit root, it would definitely turn into the greatest joke of all time!
Even Mu Su faltered for a moment.
Ye Qingtang doesn't have spirit roots?
Ye Qingtang stood firmly at the side, while he faced the loathsome Great Elder, who seemed intent on destroying his life once more, with a grin on his mind.
The Great Elder reprimanded him at the next moment: “Qingtang, you are overreacting! You can't just take advantage of His Majesty's generosity for your own selfish desires! You know very well that it is impossible for you to pass the entrance exam given your condition. You will only get His Majesty into a lot of trouble! ”
Mu Su had a complicated expression on his face as he peeked at Ye Qingtang and asked: "Has your spirit root really been destroyed? Can You Still Express Your Roots?”
Reveal Thy Root is a method of projecting one's inner spirit root through making its replica in the palm of the hand, usually used for root quality examination. If Ye Qingtang did not have spirit roots, then he would not be able to do this.
Ye Qingtang glanced towards the Great Elder before focusing on Mu Su and replied: "It was destroyed earlier, but .... I can try it.”
Ye Qingtang stepped forward in the next moment, with his right palm open in the open.
A faint light started to accumulate in his palm.
"Work!" Everyone was shocked.
Sure enough, as soon as the radiance flashed into a dazzling light, it began to take the form of a young tree, before finally growing into a whole spirit root.
Once the shape stabilizes, the replica begins to change color.
The quality of the spirit root can be determined by the respective color bands in the visible spectrum.
And it includes seven colors of rainbows.
And what was once the spirit root of Ye Qingtang, but was robbed by Ye You, was known as blue.
Although there are still better ones like indigo or purple, but both are considered rare findings that may only happen once in a millennium.
That said, the blue one was thus considered a good invention in this day and age, otherwise, the cloud-breaking ruler would never have recruited Ye You as a disciple.
At this moment, everyone was fixated on the replica in Ye Qingtang's hands, and they were dumbfounded.
A replica of the spirit root that was emitting a reddish glow, floated on his palm. The shape is perfect, with no signs of blemishes.
The Great Elder got a shock in his life when he saw that in his hand.
How is this possible?!
Ye Qingtang's spirit root must have been gouged out by Ye You right before his eyes!
How could he still have it?!
"Didn't you claim that his spirit root was destroyed?" The Second Elder had a puzzled expression on his face as he directed his question to Ye Ling. When Ye Qingtang destroyed his spirit root, the Second Elder was still in the midst of his exiled training, so he did not know the details.
Ye Ling looked at him blankly, “Her spirit root was indeed destroyed, and the original was blue, but now, it was a red one…. ”
A broken spirit root was equivalent to losing all hope of developing one's prowess, and time never said to cultivate it again after destroying it.
Mu Su observed the replica in Ye Qingtang's hand and asked, "Has your spirit root really been destroyed?"
Ye Qingtang nodded explicitly.
This must have piqued Mu Su's curiosity. If Ye Qingtang had really destroyed his spirit root before, it would have been impossible for him to have one now that showed no abnormality. With this thought in mind, Mu Su was immediately reminded of his actual travel destination, he pondered over the matter before he spoke in an enigmatic manner: “Your case is truly amazing, Miss Ye. If you have time, may I invite you to come with me. Although I cannot unravel the mystery behind it, others might be able to. And in regards to giving you my reference, I will be happy to help. ”
