Elven cultivators

Behind the long table, Anton's face showed an expression of "I knew it."

He had previously speculated that Evie possessed a spirit.

Among the several possibilities he envisioned, the Taiyin spirit was one of them.

Eleanor had also come to her senses by this time, and her gaze toward Ivy was filled with a hint of amazement.

The Taiyin body ranks at the top among Yin-Yang spiritual bodies, naturally possessing an affinity for Yin and Water-related spiritual energies.

Those who possess this spiritual body can absorb and refine spiritual energy at a speed far exceeding that of ordinary people, and when cultivating related cultivation techniques, their efficiency is dozens of times that of ordinary cultivators.

It should be noted that the Haoyang True Body is an extremely rare spiritual body, standing out among the nearly one thousand disciples in Taichu City.

However, the Taiyin Body is even rarer than the Haoyang True Body.

In the genealogy of spirits, only one or two other spirits, such as the Pure Yang Body, can be ranked alongside it.

The clan patriarch went out and casually brought back a person with a Yin constitution; his luck was a bit too good.

Ivy opened her eyes, her gaze falling on the silvery-gray halo on the jade plate, a look of bewilderment appearing in her eyes.

She didn't know what the light meant, but she felt that the atmosphere around her seemed to have changed subtly.

Eleanor, observing this, chuckled and said, "Don't be nervous, this is a aptitude test. Your talent is outstanding."

Ivy breathed a sigh of relief and felt a surge of joy. She couldn't help but look up at Anton.

With a flick of his wrist, the latter produced a scroll of ancient texts that floated into the air and landed in front of Ivy.

The half-elf girl instinctively caught it, and when she looked down, four large characters inlaid with silver thread on the cover immediately caught her eye.

The True Explanation of the Taiyin.

"This cultivation technique is most suitable for the Taiyin Body. Take it and study it. If you have any questions, you can ask Eleanor," Anton said.

"The True Explanation of Taiyin" is a top-tier inheritance specially tailored for those with the Taiyin constitution. It encompasses a variety of killing techniques and supernatural methods, and is a top-level cultivation method that points directly to the Great Dao.

Similarly, only those with a Yin constitution can cultivate this technique.

Ivy held the scroll in both hands, her palms slightly warm.

By this point, she was fully aware that her life was about to change once again.

Just recently, she was talking to Morric about her goal of becoming a disciple of the Primordial City.

But in the blink of an eye, this goal became a reality.

In just over a month, her fate changed twice.

And the source of all this is the figure sitting behind the long table right now.

Evie's throat tightened slightly, her eyes welled up with tears, and she looked at Anton with reverence and gratitude.

"Thank you... thank you, Lord Anton."

"Practice diligently," Anton said calmly. "I look forward to your future performance."

He gave Eleanor a wink.

Elinor understood, summoned Flora, and gave her a few instructions.

Flora nodded, walked to Ivy's side, and smiled gently: "Come with me, Junior Sister Ivy."

Ivy quickly agreed, then secretly glanced at Anton before turning around and following Flor out of the palace gate.

The moment she stepped out of the Nine Heavens Tower, the warm twilight fell on Ivy's shoulder, causing her to squint instinctively.

She glanced down at the scroll of books in her arms, but felt as if she were walking on clouds, experiencing a kind of unreal, dreamlike sensation.

Flora walked ahead, glancing sideways at the half-elf girl behind her, and couldn't help but sigh softly in her heart.

A disciple in Taichu City who possesses a spiritual body is now recognized by all the disciples as the senior disciple, with unparalleled strength.

And this half-elf girl in front of us possesses the Taiyin Body, which is even better than Haoyang's True Body. Where will she go in the future?

……

The Tianyuan Hall fell silent once more.

"I never expected such a promising talent to emerge from among the half-elves," Eleanor exclaimed.

Anton smiled slightly: "Spiritual beings are rare and hard to come by; the probability of their birth is extremely low. When the probability drops to a certain level, it actually has little to do with race; it all depends on luck."

The odds of one in ten thousand and two in ten thousand are not much different for the Silvermoon Clan now.

Unless the clan population experiences a qualitative leap in the future, resulting in a significant increase in the number of disciples, this probability will not have any real significance.

"Please take good care of Evie."

"I'll keep an eye on it." Eleanor nodded, then changed the subject, saying, "There's been a new development over in Crimson Blood Fertile Land. They suddenly withdrew their troops from the border area yesterday and retreated back to the Fertile Land region."

Anton was not surprised and said with a sneer, "They've been scared by the ghost soldiers and plan to move the battlefield to an open area."

Eleanor smiled slightly: "They probably don't realize that engaging in direct combat in open terrain is actually more advantageous for us."

Anton smiled more broadly: "It looks like the war will be over soon."

……

In the Primordial Spirit Realm, Anton's every move is under intense scrutiny.

The news that he had made a special meeting with a half-elf had already spread like wildfire throughout the entire Primordial Spirit Realm.

Countless people speculated about the reasons behind Anton's move.

Therefore, the moment Ivy stepped out of the Nine Heavens Tower, the news that she possessed the Taiyin Body, had been personally taught cultivation techniques by the clan leader, and had been promoted to a disciple of the Primordial City spread throughout the entire clan at an astonishing speed, causing a huge uproar.

If it were merely a member of a vassal race who were promoted to a disciple of the Primordial City, it would certainly be surprising, but not enough to cause a great sensation.

After all, there have been several precedents.

But this time it involves an extremely rare spiritual entity.

The last disciple to possess a spirit body was Ryan.

The latter is the leading figure of the younger generation of the Silvermoon Clan.

He's already at the Gold rank before he's even a hundred years old, so achieving legendary status in the future is practically a certainty.

With such a vivid example before them, everyone had no doubt about Evie's bright future.

A new, dazzling star is about to rise in the clan.

……

Inner city, in the courtyard.

Hearing the words coming from the communication talisman, Una's eyes widened in surprise.

Spirit!

It is also an extremely rare Taiyin body!

That's just...so enviable!

Una sighed and scratched her ear.

She originally thought that her progress in cultivating the Eight Desolations Suppressing Prison Scripture was quite good, and her teacher had also praised her for her talent, so she was quite proud of herself.

But now, when I compare it to this, I suddenly realize that my progress doesn't seem like much at all.

After a moment of stunned silence, Una strode toward the quiet room.

No, she needs to cultivate even harder.

We are all vassal races, and all newly recruited disciples. We absolutely cannot lose to that half-elf named Ivy!

...At least we can't fall too far behind.

……

Nine Netherworld City, frontline camp.

"A Yin-type body?!"

Mia heard about Ivy from Flora and her eyes widened in surprise.

It's one thing for a half-elf to be detected as a spirit, but to be the most outstanding Taiyin Body is even more surprising!

This is so unexpected.

Ryan and Lucius, who were standing nearby, also looked surprised.

But the two quickly returned to normal.

Ryan was a kind-hearted man; he merely sighed at the situation without feeling the slightest bit of jealousy.

Lucius, on the other hand, was completely indifferent.

He had confidence in his sword.

His sword is no less powerful than any spirit's.

"The Yin Body... its cultivation speed must be astonishingly fast." Mia said with a bitter face, "It seems I have to work harder on my cultivation, otherwise it would be too embarrassing to be overtaken by the new junior sister."

Ryan chuckled and said, "In that case, Junior Sister Ivy's appearance is a good thing. It's a good opportunity to change your lazy nature. You've become quite lax since you successfully established your foundation."

Lucius didn't speak, but simply nodded, acknowledging Ryan's words.

"What... I just slacked off a bit lately." Mia muttered to herself, then declared confidently, "Once this war is over, I'll start training hard again."

……

It was evening.

Morrick ran home excitedly, his steps much lighter than usual.

As soon as I pushed open the gate, I saw my parents standing in the yard chatting.

"Father, Mother," Morric greeted with a smile.

Orlu turned his head and saw his son's undisguised joy. His eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "What? Did you find out your spiritual root?"

"Of course, your son is so outstanding, he must have a spiritual root." Morrick couldn't help but grin, "A gold spiritual root."

"well!"

Orlu was overjoyed and said "good" twice.

Having a spiritual root basically puts you on the verge of becoming a disciple of the Primordial City.

All that's needed is to achieve enough merit.

Although he has only been a member of the Silvermoon Clan for a short time, Oru has already deeply understood the status and prospects of the disciples of the Primordial City within the Silvermoon Clan.

If my son could become a disciple of Taichu City, that would be an incredible stroke of luck.

Morrick's mother was overjoyed, her smile spreading across her face.

After a moment of joy, Morrick suddenly remembered something and asked, "Father, Mother, what were you talking about just now?"

Orlu's smile paused slightly before he said, "You know about the clan chief summoning Ivy, right?"

Morrick paused slightly, then nodded and said, "I know, I happened to be there. What's up?"

"Evie was found to possess a spiritual body, and the clan leader immediately taught her cultivation techniques. She is now a disciple of Taichu City."

Morric froze on the spot, his eyes wide with disbelief.

Having always aimed to become a disciple of Taichu City, he had certainly heard of spirits and knew what they meant.

That's why he was so shocked by the news that he was completely stunned.

"Ivy... is she a spirit?"

"That's right." Oru's expression was complicated. "It's said that he's an even more powerful spirit than Lord Ryan."

Morrick's mouth dropped open.

Doesn't that mean that Evie is likely to become a big figure on par with Lord Ryan in the future, or even surpass him?

Morric was deeply shocked, and at the same time, he felt an indescribable sense of loss.

When his spiritual root was tested, he was still looking forward to becoming a disciple of the Primordial City together with Ivy in the future.

Who would have thought that Evie had already achieved her goal before him?

Moreover, it is foreseeable that the gap between him and Evie will only widen in the future, and they will drift further and further apart...

Seeing his son's blank expression, Orlu sighed inwardly.

He had long noticed his son's affection for the half-elf girl.

He hadn't objected at first, but now he'd changed his mind.

With her spiritual essence, Ivy is destined for a bright future.

Even if their son becomes a disciple of Taichu City in the future, they will inevitably be from two different worlds.

It's better to give up now than to be disappointed later.

"Everyone has their own path. It's already a good thing that you were able to detect the Golden Spiritual Root." Oru patted his son on the shoulder. "Don't compare yourself to others. Walking your own path well is more important than anything else."

"...I know," Morrick said in a muffled voice.

He knew his father was right, but for a moment, the suffocating feeling, as if something was gripping his heart, just wouldn't go away.
