Chapter 198 False Alarm

What?!

Just having a Void Spiritual Root, even if you're a martial arts trash, is enough to become a true disciple of a major sect?!

Fang Yue was astonished.

He had a new understanding of the Void Spiritual Root.

So, this thing is explosively strong!

"Lord Ni Dongmei, what exactly is the use of the Void Spiritual Root? Why is it so popular?"

Normally, Ni Dongmei wouldn't bother answering such questions.

But she saw Tail also curiously perking up her ears and looking at her. Ni Dongmei then slowly said, "The Void Spiritual Root can contain things that ordinary people cannot. The [soul] is one of them!"

"Soul? Are you talking about... a Soul-Entrusting Jade Pendant?"

"It seems you're not completely ignorant. Correct, it's the Soul-Entrusting Jade Pendant. Integrating the Soul-Entrusting Jade Pendant, which houses a soul, into the body of the Void Spiritual Root holder. At that time, the Void Spiritual Root can awaken the sleeping soul within the Soul-Entrusting Jade Pendant, thereby unleashing the power of that soul!"

Because there was a real example that had just happened before their eyes, Fang Yue and Tail easily understood.

"What about me? Do I have any spiritual roots?"

"No."

Fang Yue's body stiffened.

So I'm trash?!

"But you don't need to be discouraged. A long time ago, spiritual roots were almost extinct within the Qing Country. As far as I know, the situation in the surrounding countries is similar. Tail is an exception."

"Perhaps it's because of her unique status as a refugee. The aptitude contained within her body, combined with the unique techniques of my Jibing Sect, can stimulate her potential. Finally, with the supreme Soul-Entrusting Jade Pendant of Lord Qi Ba Jiu, her Void Spiritual Root was truly activated."

Ni Dongmei pondered for a moment, a complex look flashing in her eyes.

Then she suddenly looked up and asked strangely, "Wait! Did you just say your friend took the Xiongyuan Pill?"

"Yes!"

"That settles it then! What do you think the Xiongyuan Pill is made of? The Xiongyuan Pill you took was definitely not made according to the standard recipe, resulting in too much of the same strange material being added to the ingredients. The [Strange Content] was too high, and the final effect presented a strange result. It's normal for it to temporarily transform people into strange beings."

Ah, this?

Fang Yue was dumbfounded.

So he was overthinking it, and the truth was so simple?

Damn it!

Coming back to his senses, Fang Yue's face was unsightly. He was thinking that he was about to activate his spiritual roots and take off, but it was all just his own wild thoughts!

Fang Yue immediately became dejected.

Ni Dongmei patted him on the shoulder: "Condolences!"

"No! That's just a friend! It has nothing to do with me!" Fang Yue slapped her hand away, stubbornly saying.

"Oh! Then condolences anyway. By the way, Tail and I are now preparing to set off and return to the Jibing Sect, so let's say goodbye here. The great gift I mentioned earlier, I've put it in the Ink Village Inn, under the pillow in my room. You can go and get it when you have time."

As she said this, Ni Dongmei was about to leave with Tail.

Fang Yue and Tail were both stunned for a moment, then one immediately struggled, and the other quickly reached out and grabbed Tail's hand.

"I don't want to leave yet!"

"Wait!"

The two spoke almost simultaneously, and Ni Dongmei stopped.

"Is there anything else?"

Ni Dongmei could disregard Fang Yue, but she still had to respect Tail's opinion.

After all, in a sense, Tail was the representative of Lord Qi Ba Jiu.

"I... I want to go back to Ink Village and say goodbye to my friends, and then go back to the Jibing Sect with you... Also, is there really no way to let Ye Ge join the Jibing Sect as well?"

"No. From the moment he learned the Liehuo Sect's inner cultivation method, it was destined that the current Jibing Sect couldn't accommodate him. Unless Lord Qi Ba Jiu personally speaks, but with that lord's personality, even if you ask, she wouldn't interfere with the sect's affairs."

The *current* Jibing Sect?

So the *past* Jibing Sect could accommodate those who had learned the Liehuo Sect's martial arts?

What kind of changes occurred that made the two sects so hostile?
