Chapter 1094: Chapter 431: Senior Martial Sister (Vote for Monthly Tickets!)
The crisp sound of footsteps echoed through the narrow corridor.
A cultivator should not make such obvious noise.
Moreover, the comer’s realm was so high that even Luo Chen’s spirit consciousness could not detect it.
Thus, the deliberate nature of the sound served as a signal to Luo Chen, who was inside, that she had arrived.
Politeness! Respect!
Luo Chen opened his eyes and slipped the jade thumb ring onto his left thumb.
He then waited quietly for the visitor to appear.
Before long, a graceful figure appeared before him.
Even though he had seen her no less than ten times over the past three years,
every time he saw her peerless beauty, Luo Chen couldn’t help but marvel that such a beauty existed in the world.
She was like the cold essence of ice, to be admired from afar but not to be profaned.
Yet the faint smile on her face was like a sprite in the snow, intuitively drawing one closer.
The contradictory feeling always made one unable to help but indulge in that stunning visage.
But!
Her actual late-stage golden core realm, like a bucket of cold water, doused Luo Chen’s heart, preventing him from harboring any improper thoughts.
"Junior Luo Chen pays respects to Ascendant Master Cang Long!"
"No need for such formalities. You are an elder of Ice Castle, just like Jueqing and Bo Shuang. You can just call me senior sister,"
Cang Long said with a slight smile.
Under her smiling face, the chilling Ice Prison seemed to rise a few degrees in temperature.
"This..."
Luo Chen hesitated for a moment.
The intention to ingratiate in her words was all too blatant.
By addressing him as an elder of Ice Castle, omitting the ’guest’, it’s as if he is one of the family.
And by leaping across realms and generations, inviting him to call her "senior sister" sounded even more intimate.
If he really took to calling her that, then Luo Chen’s relationship with Ice Castle would be bound even more deeply, nearly as if he were born from its lineage.
In the face of that gentle gaze,
Luo Chen’s moment of hesitation quickly dissipated.
"Senior Sister Cang Long!" he said.
"Good! Very good!"
Cang Long laughed even more freely.
Before Luo Chen, she took a serious look at him, particularly lingering on his gray hair for a while.
After a pause, she nodded slowly.
"Not bad, it seems you have made significant gains this time."
Luo Chen bitterly smiled, "The gains are great, but the losses are just as great!"
In this battle, he had lost his diligently cultivated Fierce Fire Miasma, the powerful Lei Xian Bead capable of threatening Golden Core cultivators, and even a hundred years of his lifespan.
Such losses were indeed the most severe he had faced since he started his cultivation.
What he gained was successful vengeance, fame, the Prosperity and Decline Fire, and the legacy of a middle-stage golden core cultivator.
The first two were elusive, the Prosperity and Decline Fire had only just been refined and its functions remained unexplored, and the legacy was something he could see but not yet utilize.
However!
Cang Long spoke calmly, "What’s lost is mere material possession, yet you’ve broken through your demonic obstruction and fulfilled your heart’s desire for revenge. With this, your thoughts have become clear. Before forming your core, you shall face no more mental obstructions. The way of the golden pill has already opened its doors wide to you!"
Luo Chen was taken aback.
Clear thoughts?
Was there really such a thing?
But considering the mental obstructions she mentioned, Luo Chen felt he was beginning to grasp something.
Seeing his confusion,
Senior Sister Cang Long explained softly, "When I was healing you before, I had the chance to assess your talent."
Luo Chen blurted out, "It’s poor, isn’t it?"
However, Cang Long immediately shook her head in denial.
"Not poor, in fact, quite good!"
Luo Chen was astonished and asked instinctively, "Could it be that the Five Element Spirit Root of the Five Elements Divine Sect is also considered a sign of genius?"
Cang Long looked at him in surprise.
"I didn’t expect you to know about these secrets. Yes, it does have something to do with that."
Luo Chen was puzzled, "How can a Five Elements Spirit Root, with its cultivation speed so slow, not just three to five times slower than other spirit roots, but ten or twenty times slower, be considered talented?"
In fact,
this was a matter that many rogue cultivators in the Immortal Cultivation World were extremely puzzled about.
Even for the Five Elements Divine Sect, which had rumors of this sort for many years, it seemed that no exceptionally strong cultivators with Five Spirit Root talent had been cultivated lately.
It was only rumored that the founder of their sect was a Five Spirit Roots cultivator with similar secret techniques to cultivate this talent.
In the face of Luo Chen’s puzzlement, Cang Long shook her head with a smile.
"Actually, sometimes, being slow can be a good thing."
Seeing his continued perplexity,
Cang Long pondered for a moment and then said, "Let me give you an analogy!"
"This junior is all ears," Luo Chen focused, determined not to miss any detail in her words.
He had been cultivating alone for all these years.
Even with someone like Wang Yuan, who was both a teacher and a friend, he could only receive guidance in the realm of body refining.
As for the way of Qi Refining, he could only figure it out by himself.
That’s the plight of a rogue cultivator without the backing of a sect family.
Lacking guidance from those with rich experience and foresight.
Under Luo Chen’s watchful gaze, the tall and strikingly beautiful Ascendant Master Cang Long began to explain.
"Spirit Root is the most fundamental difference between us cultivators and mortals; one needs a spirit root to step onto the path of cultivation."
"And those who possess only a single spirit root, the Heavenly Spirit Root practitioners, are like solitary peaks piercing the clouds, touching the sky. Favored by the heavens, their cultivation naturally progresses smoothly, facing almost no obstacles before divine transformation."
Luo Chen nodded slightly.
This aligned well with his stereotype of Heavenly Spirit Root cultivators.
Ten years for foundation establishment, a hundred for core formation, two hundred for nascent soul formation, and five hundred for divine transformation.
Swift, yet not so swift.
But considering that throughout this journey, Heavenly Spirit Root cultivators hardly need to consume any elixirs or external substances.
