C30 His Aptitude Was Very Strong, Ancient Talisman Paper
Elder Chiu Yue and Su Wuyou were left utterly astonished!
For tens of thousands of years, no one in the entire Cultivation World had been discovered with a Celestial Spiritual Root, leading everyone to assume that such a formidable spiritual root would never emerge again.
The Celestial Spiritual Root is the most extraordinary spiritual root in existence. Throughout the history of the Cultivation World, those blessed with it were considered titans and prodigies, all of whom ultimately achieved Ascension.
A cultivator with a Celestial Spiritual Root requires a thousandfold more spiritual energy than their peers! That explains why Spirit Gathering Lake was completely drained by Jiang Su!
With his remarkable spiritual root and striking looks, he's a true standout!
Following the Female Ruler, the Devil Domain can now take pride in another exceptional individual!
What fantastic news!
"Disciple, I feel compelled to kneel before you; otherwise, I'll be troubled by the thought of taking you as my apprentice. I am merely a Nascent Infant Sword Cultivator. Having you as my disciple seems almost unfair to you!"
Elder Chiu Yue was so overwhelmed with emotion, he was on the verge of tears.
He was incredibly fortunate to have taken such a genius under his wing!
Jiang Su quickly steadied Elder Chiu Yue.
"Master, there's no need for such gestures. As a figure of great power, how could you kneel before me?"
Once Su Wuyou had regained her composure, she made a solemn proposal: "Female Ruler, it's a blessing for the Devil Sect to have such a distinguished disciple. Jiang Hee possesses the Celestial Spiritual Root, enabling him to pursue the paths of Sword, Talisman, Medical, Armament, Body, and Pill Cultivation. I recommend that you call upon all the eminent beings of the Devil Domain to devote their knowledge to his cultivation."
Even Su Wuyou, who normally enjoyed teasing Jiang Su, adopted a grave demeanor upon learning of his Celestial Spiritual Root.
Jiang Su was momentarily taken aback. He hadn't expected such a suggestion from Su Wuyou.
There was no need to rally all the luminaries of the Devil Domain for his training. His system was sufficient. Besides, his progression was slow, and he feared he might not meet the high expectations of these formidable beings.
Moreover, with numerous masters overseeing his training, he wouldn't be able to travel freely to check in at various places.
Tears streamed down Elder Chiu Yue's face. Jiang Su steadied him into a seat, noticing his hands still quivering.
It was remarkable to see a Nascent Infant Stage Expert so visibly moved.
Despite his excitement, Elder Chiu Yue's intellect remained sharp. Su Wuyou's suggestion initially struck him as quite reasonable. A prodigy like Jiang Su deserved the utmost cultivation from the Ten Devil Domains, yet Jiang Su's consent was essential.
"Wuyou, you should get Jiang Hee's thoughts on this first."
Elder Chiu Yue was about to express this when Murong Yan preempted him.
He was taken aback. He had assumed the Female Ruler would not overly involve herself in the matter, or that she might simply concur with Su Wuyou.
Yet here she was, the Empress of the Devil Sect, who tirelessly worked for the growth of the Ten Devil Domains, considering Jiang Su's personal wishes in a domain-wide issue.
Jiang Su paused, momentarily caught off guard. He wasn't opposed to the plan; it was just that it promised to complicate his life, something he preferred to avoid if possible.
Was her comment a response to his reluctance?
Sitting next to Elder Chiu Yue, Jiang Su glanced at Murong Yan in the seat of honor. Her demeanor was serene, suggesting her words were merely an offhand remark.
Perhaps he was overanalyzing the situation.
He spoke up: "Currently, even though the Immortal Domain and the Devil Domain have coexisted peacefully for years, underlying tensions persist. Acting on Elder Wuyou's advice would surely raise the Immortal Domain's suspicions."
Elder Chiu Yue, hearing his disciple's perspective, furrowed his brow and added, "I believe we should keep my disciple's situation under wraps and cultivate him in secret. He has drawn the sword of Sword Immortal Chen Pingsheng. Should the First Immortal Sect catch wind of this, they'd undoubtedly attempt to claim him. Moreover, the sudden emergence of a young man with a Celestial Spiritual Root in the Devil Sect would create a stir throughout the Lower Realm. While it might appear as a badge of honor, it could ultimately work against us."
Su Wuyou bowed her head, pondering deeply. Elder Chiu Yue was correct.
It was fortunate that Bai Yih currently despised handsome male cultivators, so he hadn't accompanied them. Otherwise, if he discovered that Jiang Su possessed a Celestial Spiritual Root, his jealousy would surely provoke him to act rashly.
"Let's proceed as Elder Chiu Yue suggested. We'll have Lin Tian seal off any information regarding today's anomaly at Sword Wing Peak. The fact that Jiang Hee is a bearer of the Celestial Spiritual Root must remain confidential."
Murong Yan seemed to hesitate, unaccustomed to Jiang Su's alias.
Truth be told, Jiang Su himself hadn't gotten used to his assumed name.
He couldn't fathom why his wife hadn't called him out today, even going so far as to assist him.
Unable to make sense of it, he decided to let it go and plan his next steps based on the current situation.
At the very least, his wife's perception of his abilities would surely shift after today.
"I'm weary; I'll take my leave now."
Upon the Female Ruler's words, the trio promptly rose from their seats.
"Farewell, Female Ruler."
The white-clad figure departed from their midst.
"Host, congratulations on acquiring three ancient talisman papers! They'll be of use once you advance to a Talisman Cultivator."
When had he obtained three ancient talisman papers? Hadn't he completed his covert mission for the day?
These must have been a gift from the Female Ruler.
Jiang Su paused, feeling the talisman papers at his waist, but he refrained from examining them.
His wife had slipped them to him on the sly.
When had she managed that? Truly, she lived up to her reputation as a master of Tribulation Crossing.
He looked out, but the white robe had already vanished.
A surge of warmth blossomed in his heart.
His wife's regard for him wasn't as dismissive as he had imagined.
She was truly endearing.
"Disciple, are you hungry? You've put in a great effort today. I'll have the chef prepare a meal for you immediately. Invite Wang Tian to join."
Elder Chiu Yue's eyes sparkled with enthusiasm as he spoke.
If that gleam turned green, Jiang Su vowed to keep his distance.
Su Wuyou expressed her discontent: "Senior Brother Chiu Yue, why not include me in the invitation? Am I unworthy?"
"Then we'll go together!"
Upon mentioning Wang Tian, Jiang Su gave Elder Chiu Yue a respectful bow. The elder was startled by the gesture, fearing his disciple might be plotting to leave. Elder Chiu Yue quickly steadied him, asking, "What's the matter?"
"I come with a request. Wang Tian, the brother who accompanied me, has always been a Body Cultivator with a Single Spiritual Root, his element being earth. Master, I'm asking you to find a formidable Body Cultivator to guide him."
Elder Chiu Yue and Su Wuyou were taken aback once more!
Jiang Su possessed a top-tier Celestial Spiritual Root, yet his close friend had only a Single Spiritual Root!
His fortune was astonishingly great.
Before Elder Chiu Yue could respond, Su Wuyou interjected, "How many friends do you have? Would you introduce them to me?"
Jiang Su and Wang Tian had already chosen to follow Senior Brother Chiu Yue. With that decision made, her best bet was to persuade Jiang Su's other friends to become her disciples.
With a sense of resignation, Jiang Su admitted, "I have many brothers, but only this one has such exceptional potential."
His implication was clear: Su Wuyou's plan was impractical. After all, while she was a Sword Cultivator, most in the kitchen were Body Cultivators.
Yet, the thought of the three ancient talisman papers sparked a realization in him—it was time to delve into the knowledge of Talisman Cultivation.
