Chapter 12 This Spirit Source Beast

The town magistrate of Xuanhu Town.

Mu Yangchen passed away two years ago due to old age.

During the 359 years that Mu Yangchen served as the town's magistrate in Xuanhu Town, the townspeople lived in peace and prosperity. Regardless of their rank, cultivators respected each other, and incidents of the strong bullying the weak were rare.

In this chaotic world, Mu Yangchen governed and protected Xuanhu Town exceptionally well.

When Mu Yangchen passed away, the entire town mourned him and built a statue of the Great Immortal Yangchen in the town. People came to offer incense and worship him every day.

The new town magistrate of Xuanhu Town, Luo Jiaren, like Mu Yangchen, was appointed by the Chaohui Sect, an affiliated sect of the Zhenshen Sect stationed in Xianmu City, Rongzhou.

The Chaohui Sect, a mid-level sect, has shown signs of becoming a high-level sect in recent years.

After arriving in Xuanhu Town, Luo Jiaren went to worship the statue of Yangchen Daxian immediately, before even registering with the town's government office.

Luo Jiaren bowed three times and kowtowed nine times before the statue of Yangchen the Great Immortal, loudly praising Mu Yangchen's achievements. Towards the end of his praise, he wiped away tears and sobbed about the injustice of the world, saying that a cultivator like Yangchen the Great Immortal should live for another ten thousand years.

If Shen Yao had seen this scene, she would definitely have commented, "Tsk tsk, with such a performance, anyone who didn't know better would think that Immortal Yangchen died in vain."

The townspeople, being simple and honest, stopped to watch, and upon hearing this, they too began to sob and wail, eventually breaking down in tears and howling.

This can be considered a unique spectacle in the history of Xuanhu Town.

The second thing Luo Jiaren did was to visit the sect leader of the Lingcao Sect. The night before he went to the Lingcao Sect, Zhao Zhen took his two children and went on a long journey to seek medical treatment.

Luo Jiaren made a trip but didn't see the sect leader; he only met three elders.

The three elders led Luo Jiaren around the Lingcao Sect, showing him every corner of the place. Luo Jiaren inquired about many things within the sect.

As he left, he repeatedly thanked the three elders and praised and encouraged the disciples who came to see him off.

After praising him for a while, the conversation suddenly shifted, and he began to praise Zhao Zongzhu's father-in-law, who would surely be remembered for all time.

After praising him for a while, he began to lament that Yangchen the Great Immortal only had a short lifespan of five hundred years, and then he started sobbing and crying.

The three elders awkwardly tried to comfort him for a long time before he finally left after crying for an hour.

Fortunately, the sect leader has gone on a long journey with his two children. If the sect leader and Zhao Cheng and Zhao Xuan were still in the sect, Luo Zhensi would probably have cried all night longing for the immortals.

The former residence of the town head of Xuanhu Town, the Mu residence, has been replaced by the Luo residence.

At this moment, Luo Jiaren was in his study plotting with a handsome and noble immortal cultivator.

"Are you sure it's him?" The noble immortal cultivator sat at the head of the desk, toying with a jade cup.

Luo Jiaren sat on the fan-shaped stool on the left side of the desk and lowered his voice: "It's probably him. I've been in Xuanhu Town for two years, and every time I went to visit him, he was away traveling. He must be deliberately avoiding me."

Luo Jiaren continued, "If a cultivator with a sixth-grade spiritual root didn't have some unspeakable reason, why would they live in such a remote place for hundreds of years?"

"This place is really remote," Luo Jiaren said with disdain. "The spiritual energy isn't strong enough, and there aren't any rare or precious natural treasures."

"What you say makes sense." The noble immortal cultivator nodded in agreement.

Receiving confirmation, Luo Jiaren continued, "The one you're looking for has six spiritual roots: wind, qi, wood, water, ice, and soul, all of which are of the fifth grade. Although Zhao Zhen claims to have five spiritual roots of the sixth grade, they are wind, qi, wood, water, and ice. They are very similar and highly suspicious."

The aloof immortal cultivator sneered, "Hmph! Mu Yangchen did a good job keeping it a secret."

Knowing this man's temper, Luo Jiaren was afraid he would get angry, so he quickly comforted him: "Master, don't be angry. No matter how Mu Yangchen tried to hide it, he's already dead."

The noble immortal cultivator put down his cup: "Has Zhao Zhen reported the matter of the Demon Spirit Land to you?"

Luo Jiaren: "No contact has been made."

The noble immortal cultivator asked again, "It's been five days. Have any disciples from the Spirit Herb Sect come down the mountain?"

Luo Jiaren replied, "Not a single one has come down the mountain. Not only disciples, but even servants have not gone down the mountain."

A sinister smile, completely out of character for the noble immortal cultivator, appeared on his face: "Pack your things, we'll go meet this Spirit Herb Sect Master tonight."

The residence of the disciples of the Lingcao Sect.

Two days passed.

For two days, a full forty-four hours, Shen Yao was unable to circulate even a trace of spiritual power.

"Keep it up, keep it up!" the Purple Cloud Golden Beetle encouraged.

Shen Yao stared blankly and sighed, "Fine, I guess I really am a useless person."

Seeing her like this, the golden beetle felt bad too: "It's a pity that your body doesn't have a golden spiritual root, otherwise I could transfer some golden spiritual power to you, which might help you fuse with it."

"Can it also transfer spiritual power to help with fusion?" Shen Yao's hope was rekindled.

Golden Beetle: "No, it's that the Purple Cloud Golden Beetle itself has the ability to help fuse and enhance spiritual power."

"I see." Shen Yao sighed again, "I'm afraid I'll never be able to use the spiritual power of this world in my lifetime."

“No, that won’t happen.” The golden beetle said, “If you can’t use your spiritual power, I’ll go to Yunya for help.”

"Who is Yunya? Do you still have friends in this world?"

Golden Beetle: "Yunya is a water-elemental source beast, and the Purple Cloud Golden Beetle that I parasitize is a gold-elemental source beast. As both are source beasts, it will definitely help me."

Hearing the new term piqued Shen Yao's curiosity: "This spirit beast? Sounds pretty powerful."

"Keep praising me, Dad loves to hear it." The golden beetle's pair of bamboo-segmented antennae curled up again.

"The sect leader is mysterious and unpredictable, the best in the world!" When it comes to flattery, Shen Yao considers herself an expert: "Tell me quickly, what is this Spirit Source Beast?"

The golden beetle proudly declared, "This Spirit Source Beast is created from the condensation of natural spiritual energy in the world. It takes ten thousand years for each type of natural spiritual energy to condense into one Spirit Source Beast. This Spirit Source Beast can replenish and enhance a cultivator's spiritual energy, and can even help a cultivator advance in rank or even cross ranks!"

“I know about upgrading a spiritual root from low grade to high grade, but no matter how much you upgrade, you can only reach the high grade. What about crossing grades? Isn’t it only possible to cross grades when you awaken a new spiritual root?” Shen Yao was very interested in crossing grades.

The golden beetle's tone became even more arrogant: "That's right, it's about crossing levels. We are spirit source beasts, and we can help cultivators awaken new spiritual roots, regardless of level."

"Holy crap!" Shen Yao blurted out in her native Blue Star language, "This is incredible! If we can find all ten kinds of spirit source beasts, wouldn't we be able to awaken a first-class ten-spiritual root and even advance to the upper grade, ranking alongside a true god?!"

After saying that, Shen Yao covered her mouth, as if she had discovered some incredible truth.

Shen Yao covered her mouth and asked softly, "In the legends of the cultivation world, that true god raised ten spirit beasts. Could they be ten original spirit source beasts?"

The golden beetle mimicked her tone and whispered, "Yes, it's ten spirit beasts."

"Ah!" Shen Yao covered her mouth even tighter: "Then the True God wouldn't be using a Primal Spirit Beast..."

The golden beetle mimicked her tone: "Congratulations, you guessed right. There's no reward, oh dear."

The golden beetle whispered again, "This spirit source beast can also extract the spiritual power of cultivators and transfer it to other cultivators for fusion. That's why I said, if this body has a golden spiritual root, I can help you fuse with it."

Shen Yao felt that the news she heard today was more and more explosive than the last, so she immediately took out two large meat buns from her storage ring and started eating them.

The information is too amazing, I need to eat something to digest it.
