Chi Miao’s fire elemental spiritual power surged, making her, who was already surrounded by flames, even more mysterious, as the vortex of energy unfolded.
Boom–!
The testing stone suddenly exploded in the tester’s hand, and at the same time, Chi Miao strangely felt that her strength was more than ten times that of before!
Everyone was in an uproar.
Just a moment ago, Chi Miao was merely an ordinary person with no spiritual power, but at this moment…
Her spiritual energy was exceptionally abundant and vigorous, like an inextinguishable flame.
“Spiritual energy surrounds him, early stage of Qi Refining? This…this is a breakthrough?!”
“No, what did she do to break through? Just testing her spiritual root?!”
“The crucial point is that the test stone exploded! What exactly is her root value?!”
Everyone was stunned and their hearts were filled with unease.
Throughout the entire history of cultivation, no one had ever been able to break through simply by testing their spiritual roots; that would be far too easy and casual!
Hearing these words, Chi Miao only had a vague understanding of her situation and looked at the tester with a blank expression.
The test stone just exploded, and the values had not been stable, so the results could not be determined.
“Brother, are you alright?”
The testing stone exploded in his hand. Even though he released it in time and was protected by spiritual energy, his hand was still covered in blood from the explosion.
Nothing? Nothing my ass!
But he represented the face of Jiujian Mountain now, can he say there’s something wrong?
Besides, the young girl didn’t do it on purpose; it would just make him, a grown man, seem so petty!
But he still wanted to cry out in pain.
“Shut up.” He was about to shout when suddenly a hand grabbed his lips.
Tester: “?”
Others: “Huh?”
Just like that, you grabbed someone’s mouth?
Upon closer inspection, everyone saw an old man with a messy beard and hair, and an overall fierce appearance. This old man… was one of the people who had been in the sky earlier!
“Elder Yan… Elder Yan!” The disciples of Jiujian Mountain were all shocked and quickly knelt down on one knee to pay their respects.
It was clear that the people of Jiujian Mountain were very afraid of him.
“Even an elder has been mobilized… Elder Yan, who oversees an entire sword mountain!”
“Chi Miao is truly blessed!”
“Um… if it’s Elder Yan, then it’s not a blessing, it’s bad luck.”
Elder Yan was no ordinary elder; he was one of the top combatants in the cultivation world, the punishment elder of Jiujian Mountain, and the master of the mountain.
His strength was on par with, or even better than, that of the Jiujian Mountain Sect Master. The reason he failed to become the Sect Master was simply because he had too explosive a temper!
Indeed, he didn’t look like a good person.
Chi Miao blinked, and Elder Yan strode over to her and handed her another testing stone.
“Retest.”
These three words were like an ironclad order, allowing no room for argument.
Chi Miao said “Oh” and then took the test again.
The result was the same: the root value slowly increased, and finally the test stone exploded.
Boom—
Like fireworks.
“…”
A deathly silence.
Once is an accident, but what about twice?
The problem isn’t with the testing stone, so there’s only one truth!
Elder Yan looked at Chi Miao, his eyes narrowing as if he wanted to see right through her.
Chi Miao immediately put on a shy, girlish expression: “Oh, Elder Yan, don’t look at me like that, I’m shy!”
“Bah! I have never seen such a shameless person!”
Elder Yan’s face turned red. He pointed at Chi Miao and cursed, then asked, “Your test score is definitely invalid. If you still want to join my Jiujian Mountain, you need me to examine your soul. Do you have any objections?”
“Soul exploration?!” Chi Miao exclaimed in astonishment.
“Absolutely not!” Jin Shengfei stepped forward, but Elder Yan pushed him away.
“What, are you scared?”
Elder Yan’s eyes were like those of an eagle, inspiring fear in all who beheld them.
Chi Miao wasn’t afraid that anything would happen to her…
The art of soul probing was a technique used by those with powerful souls to search the souls of the weak.
When someone was subjected to soul probing, the person would experience severe headaches and feel extremely weak all over, as if their entire body had been hollowed out; it was a form of mental torture.
Moreover, the other party will see your memories, leaving you with absolutely nothing to hide.
In the cultivation world, this was an extreme and offensive technique.
Although Chi Miao had not yet embarked on the path of immortality, she had read quite a few rumors and books on the subject, so she naturally understood the situation.
Her only worry was… whether the existence of the system would be discovered.
The Gou Shi system quickly answered the question: “No, even if they strip you naked and remove your internal organs, they won’t find me. I’m a professional!”
Chi Miao was relieved.
Her eyes turned resolute. “If you insist on soul-searching, then go ahead. If I’m going to join Jiujian Mountain, then I must earn everyone’s recognition honestly and squarely. I will not take any chances!”
The girl’s voice was loud, clear, and powerful, each word filled with conviction.
“Little Sister Chi Miao…” Jin Shengfei’s eyes were filled with turbulent emotions, as if there were tears in them.
He knew he had good taste, but he never imagined his taste was this good!
Chi Miao is truly a wonderful girl with flesh and blood, who dares to speak her mind and act on her convictions!
He was so touched!
No one else expected that Chi Miao would agree to the soul-searching.
They knew perfectly well that Chi Miao’s ability to make the test stone explode was not due to a lack of talent.
The truth was quite the opposite; her talent was simply too extraordinary!
Otherwise, who would break through directly after just one spiritual root test?
It’s all about taking things one step at a time!
Therefore, even if Chi Miao did not agree to Elder Yan’s request for soul searching, she would definitely be accepted and given important responsibilities by Jiujian Mountain.
But now, Chi Miao, for the sake of fairness and justice, and to gain everyone’s sincere approval, had agreed to Elder Yan’s presumptuous request.
This was really…
A heroine among women! Her story is truly moving!
Everyone present couldn’t help but feel a sense of goodwill towards Chi Miao.
Even Elder Yan’s expression improved somewhat.
Although this girl has a sharp tongue, she has a pretty good heart.
Based on his character, no matter what the final outcome, he wouldn’t make things difficult for this girl.
However, the matter of exploring the soul could not be skipped.
Because he was curious too!
What kind of insane talent could make the testing stone explode?!
“Now that you’re ready, relax. If you relax, it will be easier for me to get closer to you.”
Chi Miao closed her eyes without batting an eye and muttered to herself, “It sounds like you’re about to do something sinister.”
I’ll be your father!
Elder Yan was really going to be driven crazy by her.
However, he was still very careful when performing the soul probing, trying his best to minimize Chi Miao’s suffering.
Chi Miao only felt something cool rush to the top of her head, but didn’t feel much else.
Elder Yan was taken aback: “You’re not in pain?”
Chi Miao: “It doesn’t hurt.”
Elder Yan: “My soul power is strong, are you really not in pain?”
Chi Miao: “It really doesn’t hurt. If you keep talking nonsense, I’m going to scream that you are being a hooligan.”
The others also gave Elder Yan a strange look.
Obviously.
Elder Yan’s image in front of everyone had been completely shattered.
He gritted his teeth in anger and delved into Chi Miao’s soul.
Finally, he saw the image.
