Chapter 1252: Extracting the Spirit Roots

n a row before hanging up.Guo Huai held his phone, sighed, and said to his son:"Zhao'er, help me to the study.""Father, what are you going to do Your injuries aren't fully healed yet. You can't contro..."Good!"

On the road, Wei Ying said, "As long as he can withstand the lightning tribulation, his youngest daughter will be able to cultivate."

"Lord Mayor, if I may be so bold, to allow Li Meng to grow stronger, it would be best to send her away from the City Lord's Mansion after she develops a spiritual root."

Ripple kindly reminded.

I understand.

On the steps, Wei He wore a dark expression as he bowed. His own children, he knew them well, each one domineering. The only son with a mild temperament was the third, but because he valued him, he wasn't spared from friction with his other siblings.

Since the deal had been made, both Lian Ri and Mo Shang Wei understood each other implicitly. Their divine senses constantly enveloped the courtyard of Lian Xi Ye.

Thus, another year passed. Without DuoDuo's mischief, even XiYe finally broke through the barrier and successfully advanced to become a Yuan Ying. Just as the tribulation thunder was forming, LianRi made her move.

She sacrificed her own demon pill, the golden-patterned demon pill of Huantian Fox glimmering with an eerie light, covering the courtyard where Lian Yexi was located. The tribulation lightning above seemed to lose its target and actually began to disperse slowly.

"Lord of the City of Strangers, why don't you make a move"

Ripples, face cold, reminded.

She activated her own demonic core, unleashing a talent skill that masked Lian Xiye's presence completely. At the same time, she made it seem to him as though he was diligently striving to break through the Nascent Soul barrier during his tribulation. This was all while his hidden spiritual root had already manifested itself.

Mo Shangwei looked at the demon pill, his expression faltered for a moment. He gave Lianyi a deep look, and finally flashed before Lianxiye's side. He raised his hand and reached into the other's dantian, grabbed the purple heteroling root, and then pinched the spell to pull it out.

Things happened very quickly, just a few breaths. The connection between Xi Ye and Lei Linggen was severed, his face turned pale, blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, but there wasn't a single scratch on his body.

"Lord, I will remove the Concealing Art."

After Lianyi finished speaking, she flicked her sleeves and retracted her demon pill into her body.

The next moment, a bolt of tribulation thunder coalesced in the air once more, locking onto Lian Xiye.

Mo Shang Wei and Lian Yi are now both safe.

"Lord Mayor, do not waste time, otherwise it is unclear whether this spiritual root will belong to your daughter."

On the path, Wei raised his head to look at the sky, feeling the immense pressure of heaven. In the next instant, he vanished.

Ripple was gone, and Lian Xiye had no more thoughts of crossing the tribulation. She turned and returned to her own courtyard. If she had persisted for just another moment, her demon pill would have cracked.

Back to safety, after the ripples fell and the ban was lifted, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Master, are you alright"

Dodo asked somewhat anxiously.

"This time, I was the one who suffered the backlash."

Ripple curled her lips into a smile, wiping away the bloodstains from the corner of her mouth. She cast a purification spell on herself before sitting cross-legged on a cushion. From the space around her, she pulled out a soul-binding herb, crushed it, and swallowed it whole.

Then, he began to use his powerful physique to absorb the medicinal properties of the spirit herbs, stabilizing his injuries.

On the other side, Mo Shang Wei had already planted a spiritual root into Li Meng. In the next instant, a bolt of tribulation lightning struck Li Meng who was still unconscious, but Mo Shang Wei blocked it with a golden bell.

Three consecutive thunderbolts fell, shattering the golden bell. In the end, the thunderbolt's essence still merged with Li Meng's body.

Mo Shang Wei let out a sigh of relief at this moment, and a spirit-detecting disc appeared in his hand. He placed Li Meng's hand, who was still asleep, in the center of the spirit-detecting disc. After a while, the square showing the Lei Linggen lit up.

"Success!"

Mo Shangwei muttered to himself, then retracted the spirit-measuring disk and glanced at his youngest daughter before leaving the secluded courtyard after placing a prohibition.

When Lian Xi was struck by the first bolt of heavenly tribulation, he still felt a sense of daze. He always felt like he had lost something, but before he could ponder it, the second bolt of lightning fell. He could only restrain his mind and begin to focus on facing the tribulation thunder.

The last three thunder tribulations were one worse than the previous, forcing him to summon his magical artifact for defense. Although the artifact could only hold out for a limited time, it still bought him some breathing room.

Even though he had weathered the Nine Thunder Tribulations of the evening, as the spiritual rain fell, his cultivation rapidly ascended, finally stabilizing at the early stage of Nascent Soul.

Even after the repairs were stable, Lian Xi Ye's heart felt no joy. He always felt something was missing.

"Congratulations, fellow cultivator, on your ascension to the Nascent Soul realm."

The sound of ripples reached his ears in the twilight, breaking his train of thought.

"Congratulations! I still can't compare to Eileen Daoist. I was a year late in advancing my cultivation than you."

At dusk, Xi humbly said.

“Fellow Daoist is too humble. I couldn’t bear the tedium of meditating and cultivating, so I took two Yuan Ying Pills to successfully advance my cultivation level. My cultivation base is somewhat superficial. Even after advancing, I have been in seclusion to stabilize it.”

"Today I came out to congratulate Lian Dao You on successfully overcoming his tribulation."

Ripples said deprecatingly.

That evening, after hearing this, Lian Xi felt very encouraged. At least it proved that he still had talent. Although he couldn't compare to disciples from prominent families, he relied on himself entirely, so his confidence rose even higher.

"Eileen, you are too humble."

After a while of mutual boasting about their business dealings, the two parted ways.

This time, Ripples has truly gone into seclusion. She won't be coming out for a while, otherwise she'll find it hard to leave Moshang City later on. Mo Shangwei already knows her identity.

"Ripple, you've been rather adventurous this time."

The stone mill spoke before the ripples settled.

"There's no other way. If Lian Xiye were to discover my Lei Ling root, he would become even more difficult to deal with. I'm striking first to gain the upper hand."

"Tut tut, you're only able to do this because your karmic debts are thick enough. If it were anyone else, they would have been struck by lightning long ago."

The stone mortar said helplessly.

"I only concealed the heavenly secrets for a moment, and the spiritual roots are not something I drew. How could I be blamed for this"

"I'm letting you off easy. You should be grateful I didn't strike you down with lightning. Don't get so cocky."

"Alright, I need to recover. We'll talk again when I leave this place."

Ripples severed her connection with the mortar and pestle, starting to repair the internal injuries caused by the backlash.

On the other side, when Li Meng woke up, she saw her father sitting by her bed. She was a little confused and rubbed her eyes. After making sure she wasn't mistaken, she immediately sat up and prepared to pay respects to her father.

"Lìmèng, do you want to cultivate"

On the road, Wei asked.

Li Meng heard this, a flicker of desolation flashed in her eyes. If she could cultivate, she wouldn't have been driven out. Even if she recognized her father, she wouldn't live in such a remote courtyard. However, she still honestly replied:

"Father, Li Meng dreams of cultivating, but Li Meng has no spiritual roots and cannot cultivate."

Wei, at this moment, flipped his wrist and took out the spirit-measuring disc. He said to Li Meng:

Place your hand here.

Limen knew what this was. She had been tested by her family when she was five, and that's when she realized she was an ordinary person with no spiritual roots and therefore unable to cultivate.

"Come on, don't be afraid."

Mo Shangwei saw that his little daughter wasn't reaching out, and said another sentence.

Li Meng finally reached out her hand. The next moment, her face was enveloped by a wave of purple light. Surprise filled her eyes as she looked up and asked Mo Shang Wei:

"Father, what's going on"ome, beginning a new life of their own.After Zhang's family had settled in Qian Shui Village, he sent all his children to Huang Fengcheng's private school. He didn't expect them to become top scholars...
