Chapter 6 Spirit Roots

• After all, the place was now desolate. Other than the two Shao's mutilated limbs, and Su Mei who appeared to be unconscious, the atmosphere was a hideous place with blood and splattered limbs.
• while the figure that killed them both now also suddenly changed, and indeed, it was Jian Chen.
• That god-like figure in black clothes, fluttering white hair and that terrifying white sword had now disappeared, all that was left was Jian Chen as before.
• but unlike before, his legs and arms that had been broken had now returned to normal.
• Only, when Jian Chen's eyes saw the scene in front of him, he also appeared confused and didn't understand what had happened.
• "Is there anything to help me?" in confusion, Jian Chen looked towards the surroundings.
• "Who's that?"
• After some searching and calling, Jian Chen found no one, not even the sound of a frog being heard.
• Looking back at the two Shao's, Jian Chen suddenly shuddered.
• "It's like a movie from the past. It's terrible... who could do this.."
• "Cutting human bodies like vegetables, leaving only two heads with eyes still open."
• "Terrifying!"
• even though in his previous life Jian Chen had killed someone, he had never done such heinous things. Now, it couldn't help but make him feel nauseous.
• however, when he saw the two black pouches in the piles of the two Shao's bodies, it aroused Jian Chen's soul of curiosity and immediately picked them up.
• Not waiting to check it out, Jian Chen's gaze shifted towards Su Mei's body which now had only a few clothes left on her body.
• just like the two Shao's, when he saw Su Mei's body, Jian Chen couldn't help but fall a bit complacent. But it does not last long.
• After confirming that it was Su Mei, Jian Chen immediately covered her up as she was, and immediately carried her away into the forest.
• In the forest.
• Jian Chen didn't know where to go, only when he found a hole in the trunk of a tree, he immediately entered with Su Mei's body in his arms.
• However, before Jian Chen sat down, he took one look at Su Mei's body, and muttered, "Those two Shao thugs are indeed not wrong. this body is indeed very beautiful.”
• "Apart from being spotlessly white like the model in the past, she also has a strange scent on her body. Tch, if it was in the past, maybe I would have done the same with those two thugs."
• like a confused person, sometimes Jian Chen smiled strangely, and sometimes shook his head.
• However, in the end Jian Chen put Su Mei's body out of his embrace, and immediately covered her body to keep from being blown away by the cold night wind.
• Remembering the voice before he fainted, that of a woman constantly watching him, and not leaving after all that had happened, Jian Chen shook off all the evil thoughts in his mind.
• This woman, although odd with 180 degree difference in facial and body appearance, she is a good woman. and the good woman in Jian Chen's heart must be protected and rewarded with kindness.
• So, Jian Chen chose to let it slide, and checked what had previously happened.
• Sitting on the ground, Jian Chen frowned trying to remember everything that had happened, but after thinking for a long time, what he remembered was when he fainted, as well as Su Mei's last words.
• "Tch, forget it maybe it was luck or a strong person who was passing by and saved us.” Jian Chen shook his head, and tried not to think more.
• However, when he looked back at his feet and hands, Jian Chen couldn't help but think out loud once again. but still, he doesn't remember anything.
• In the end, Jian Chen gave up and screamed in his heart.
• "Aaaahh... Damn it. Stupid, who cares. Whether it's Humans, Animals, Ghosts or Demons, anyway I thank you for saving me."
• "Forget it, forget it, first of all, let's see what we found just now."
• This time Jian Chen completely forgot everything, and turned his mind elsewhere, and took the two cloths that were previously taken from Shao's two corpses.
• After looking at it for a while, it turned out to be like a storage area, and after opening it, Jian Chen's eyes immediately flashed with blue.
• "Hahaha... It's not in vain. A large number of spiritual stones. I'm rich..."
• Jian Chen wanted to laugh heartily, but he thought of something else, and immediately stopped.
• Within that pouch did indeed have a precious treasure, namely a large amount of spiritual stones. A stone with special energy for cultivating the body, and strengthening practitioners.
• if before this incident, perhaps Jian Chen would still be laughing heartily with hundreds of spiritual stones in his hand, but now. No matter how many spiritual stones he had, he no longer had a dantian.
• not having a dantian, Jian Chen had nowhere to store his spiritual energy, if it absorbed it, it would just come, and just go.
• "Hmm, wait!"
• While Jian Chen was feeling down, he suddenly discovered something in his stomach.
• "What's that? wood... isn't it... it's like black iron?"
• Jian Chen frowned, and tried to look deeper into his dantian.
• "Wait! How can I see my body? What's with all this? What happened, how did this happen?"
• It should be noted, as body tempering practitioners, they do not have the ability to see their bodies, because they are still humans after all.
• different from practitioners who had practiced up to qi training, they had already ascended a level, and had senses much better than ordinary humans. They can see ants crawling on the ground far away, or hear sounds that ordinary humans can barely hear.
• as for Jian Chen himself, he was still at the initial level of body tempering. It was absolutely impossible for him to see it, even if he could, he could only feel the existence of his dantian, and it would be impossible to see it.
• however that was not the point, what Jian Chen cared about the most was something within his dantian.
• "The dantian that was previously destroyed has indeed been destroyed, but it looks like another dantian which is white in color, and looks stronger..."
• "Other than the dantian that suddenly appeared out of nowhere, inside was also a sheath..."
• "Yeah...it's just a black sword scabbard without the contents."
• "According to the story, if one manages to awaken one's spirit root, there will be a manifestation of that spirit root within one's dantian..."
• “That means that the scabbard is my awakened spirit root?”
• thinking everything up to this point, Jian Chen was suddenly shocked and could hardly believe it.
• A spirit root, that was a special requirement to become a strong practitioner, who according to legend could fly in the sky, and could overturn mountains and move clouds.
• before this, Jian Chen had never awakened his spirit roots, which caused him to be unable to quickly absorb the aura of heaven and earth.
• If that continued, then Jian Chen's training would proceed like a snail. it wasn't impossible that he would also remain at the body tempering stage, and couldn't go any further.
• The awakening of his spirit roots was something that Jian Chen had been looking forward to. However, a sword scabbard was not what he expected.
• “There are several levels of spirit roots, the lowest is tier 1 and the highest is tier 9.”
• “Of the many spirit roots in this world, most are beasts, or weapons, and there are also some rare spirit roots that are oddly shaped. As for this Sword Sheath, what category are you?”
