Quick Transmigration: The Supporting Character Just Wants to Die a Natural Death
Chapter 619 The Immortal's Orphan 3
Not long after, Granny Hua suddenly arrived, her face quite excited: "Xiao Ran, come with me quickly."
"Grandma Hua, my rice is just cooked, and I haven't eaten anything yet."
"Whatever you eat, great things are coming."
"What good news?"
"The man your Aunt Wen saved must be a wealthy man from a fallen family. He said he would give us one or two taels of silver if each of us came to be tested."
Yao Feiran had already sensed that something was amiss.
"Test? Test what?"
"It feels like touching a round ball made of glass."
She shook her head: "Grandma Hua, I'm not going."
"Why not go? You have a tael or two of silver."
"Grandma Hua, it might not be a good thing that someone is willing to spend so much money. I think I'd better not go."
Granny Hua looked somewhat surprised. What Yao Feiran said made sense, but they were blinded by money. In particular, Xiaoran's father was a heartless man back then, so the person they were saving might not be a good person.
"Fine, you don't have to go. Grandma won't live much longer anyway, so she's not afraid of anything."
Yao Feiran nodded and watched Granny Hua leave.
She guessed that the demonic cultivator was testing her spiritual roots.
Why test for spiritual roots? The only possibility is possession.
Reversal of Fate Pearl: "Let him possess another body. With his soul strength, can he really succeed? He might even get a cultivation technique."
"....."
Yao Feiran slapped her forehead. Damn it, she had forgotten that although she had a premonition of danger, every cloud has a silver lining, and it wasn't necessarily all bad news.
Yao Feiran chased after her and grabbed Granny Hua: "Granny Hua, I'd better go. It's just touching the glass ball, it won't hurt."
"You're such a capricious child, but you'll be the last one to try. You can only try if everyone else is fine."
"it is good."
Yao Feiran followed Granny Hua to Granny Wen's house, where she also got a clear look at the demonic cultivator.
He looked to be in his forties, with gray hair and a listless demeanor, indicating he was terminally ill.
He was holding a glass ball the size of a fist.
It really is something to verify spiritual roots.
Almost everyone in the village had arrived, and several people had already touched the glass ball, but there was no reaction. The man's eyes grew increasingly disappointed. His meridians were shattered, his dantian had collapsed, and his spiritual power was constantly dissipating. If he could not find a suitable body to possess, his physical body would die, and his nascent soul would slowly dissipate without the nourishment of spiritual power.
It wasn't until Chen Ertie walked over and touched the glass ball that a faint light emanated from it, displaying four different colors. The man's eyes lit up with excitement, and the crowd stirred.
"Why is this glass light up?!"
"Don't be afraid. If you can make this ball light up, I will give you an extra ten taels of silver and teach him to read and write, as well as martial arts."
Upon hearing that it was ten taels of silver, many people's eyes lit up with fervor. Ten taels of silver could sustain them for several years, plus the opportunity to learn to read and write—wasn't that like becoming an apprentice? This man looked like he came from a wealthy family; if they were accepted as his apprentices, wouldn't they be climbing the social ladder?
Soon it was Yao Feiran's turn. As soon as Yao Feiran placed her hand on it, the glass ball instantly burst out with a dazzling white light.
The man murmured, "It's actually a top-grade Heavenly Spiritual Root."
He suddenly grabbed Yao Feiran's hand: "Would you like to be my apprentice?"
Yao Feiran smiled broadly: "Master."
"Okay, okay!"
He never expected that such a remote village would have two spiritual root practitioners. Could it be because they were at the boundary between the two levels?
Yao Feiran and Chen Ertie became the man's apprentices. Yao Feiran also learned that the man's name was Lu Chen. He taught the two a kind of skill called Blood Nourishing Skill.
Yao Feiran quickly grasped the basics. She discovered that this cultivation method was for nourishing the physical body and strengthening qi and blood, but the progress was extremely slow. Chen Ertie hadn't even grasped the basics yet. He scratched his head in confusion: "Sister Ran, what does it feel like to grasp the basics? I don't feel anything at all."
"I'm more qualified than you; you're still a long way from mastering the basics."
Chen Ertie looked disappointed. Yao Feiran thought to herself that Lu Chen was just using Chen Ertie as a backup plan, and that poor aptitude was the only way to survive.
Lu Chen suddenly rushed out, grabbed Yao Feiran's arm, and examined her.
"Excellent! You've mastered the basics so quickly; you truly possess a celestial spiritual root."
His eyes were filled with surprise, mixed with an almost imperceptible greed and malice: "Hurry up and cultivate to the second level so that I can teach you spells. Use these spirit stones to cultivate."
Lu Chen handed over a bag of spirit stones, and Yao Feiran felt the air around her become much fresher as she took it.
It is a low-grade spirit stone.
While cultivating, Chen Ertie felt a pang of envy: "Can these spirit stones speed up cultivation? Can I have one? I want to start cultivating."
"Entry level is related to aptitude; no amount of spirit stones can speed up the process."
"I see."
Chen Ertie didn't suspect anything, but he was a little downcast. The next second, Lu Chen rushed out, his face icy cold: "Who told you to ask her for spirit stones? You're a piece of trash yourself, and you still want to delay her progress?"
"Master, I'm sorry, I... I just wanted to try it out, I didn't mean to delay Senior Sister's progress."
"If this happens again, you'll put me in solitary confinement."
"Yes."
Chen Ertie was so frightened by Lu Chen's gaze that he trembled all over and sat slumped on the ground for a long time without moving.
After Lu Chen left, Chen Ertie was still shaken. He wiped his sweat and said, "I'm sorry."
"It's okay."
Yao Feiran channeled her spiritual energy into his back, and Chen Ertie's trembling gradually stopped.
With the spirit stones, Yao Feiran broke through to the second level in less than a few days. She instantly felt that she had already reached the first level of Qi Refining, and her five senses were greatly enhanced.
Lu Chen also received the news quickly. His eyes were filled with complex emotions, even a hint of jealousy. Back then, he had fallen into the demonic path because of his poor aptitude.
However, this body would soon belong to him.
Not long after, Lu Chen said, "Come here alone tonight, and I will teach you a new technique."
That evening, Yao Feiran went over alone. Lu Chen's pupils were blood red as he stared intently at her.
"Feiran, I am truly gratified. With your talent, you would be a prodigy even if you went to the Huaheng Realm."
"Master, didn't you say you were going to teach me a new spell?"
Lu Chen was somewhat puzzled, as the other party hadn't asked anything at all.
"Don't worry, I'll teach you soon."
His voice was deep and urgent. Lu Chen stretched out his withered hand, and Yao Feiran felt her whole body being restrained. Then, a nascent soul jumped out from Lu Chen's head and directly into her sea of consciousness.
Lu Chen's expression changed drastically as he looked at the vast ocean of his consciousness.
Oh no, it's an old monster pretending to be young.
Then, the golden sea of consciousness gradually enveloped him, slowly dragging him into its depths, before returning to calm.
Reversal of Fate Beads: "His soul is truly mottled."
As the other party's consciousness disappeared, Yao Feiran also learned about the other party's memories.
The other party was an elder of the Demonic Sect's Ten Thousand Kills Sect, a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. While being hunted down by the righteous path, he accidentally stumbled into Crescent Moon Village in the mortal realm while trapped in the Forgotten Dust Forest, where he was saved by someone.
