Copying a Dual Spirit Root!

At this moment, everyone from Courtyard 32 followed over as well.

Yu Ji immediately noticed Jiang Han from Courtyard 32.

"Is this Junior Brother Jiang Han from the same courtyard as Junior Brother Su?"

Jiang Han had just been singled out and praised by an Inner Sect Elder, so Yu Ji naturally had a deep impression of him.

Spell Talent and cultivation Spirit Roots were two different things. In a certain sense, Spell Talent was even rarer.

But on the path of cultivation, cultivation was the foundation. No matter how strong one's Spell Talent was, if one could not even break through Qi Refining Stage Four, one would be unable to display any Combat Power.

Thus, sects generally placed greater importance on Spirit Root Talent.

Those with poor Spirit Root Talent but possessing Spell Talent would only receive increased investment from the sect after cultivating to a certain realm, when their Combat Power underwent a qualitative transformation.

Su Bai took the opportunity to introduce the disciples from both courtyards to one another.

Yu Ji and Wu Tian's side was Courtyard 98, where a total of five newly admitted Outer Disciples lived.

Their Housekeeping Disciple had advanced into the Inner Sect last month, and Yu Ji was now managing the residence in his stead.

Yu Ji was soon surprised to discover that all five Outer Disciples of Courtyard 32 had actually advanced to Qi Refining Stage Three.

With a spell genius like Jiang Han among them, this courtyard did not seem simple either. The desire to befriend them rose in his heart.

After advancing into the Inner Sect in the future, they would need suitable teammates to carry out all sorts of dangerous Inner Sect missions.

Naturally, Courtyard 32 did not reject Yu Ji, a Dual Spirit Root genius, either.

With Su Bai secretly fanning the flames, the disciples of the two courtyards were only one step away from forming an alliance.

They agreed to find time later to discuss the Dao together.

Su Bai had initially drawn closer to Yu Ji, making preparations in advance for the copying three months later.

After the Outer Sect assessment ended, Su Bai returned to the Ring Mountain Spiritual Fields.

Cultivation Sects had no custom of celebrating the mortal New Year.

As Su Bai irrigated the Spiritual Fields, he unknowingly stepped into his seventeenth year.

During this time, Su Bai received a letter from this body's parents, Emperor Yan and Consort Ling.

Even for a mortal imperial family, sending a letter to a Cultivation Sect must have cost them quite a price.

Su Bai was not utterly heartless, so he sent back a brief reply.

The contents of the letter did not matter. The delivery of the reply proved that Su Bai was indeed within the Jade Mist Sect.

That was enough.

Presumably, that was what Emperor Yan wanted as well.

After replying to the letter, Su Bai farmed while engaging in Secluded Cultivation.

With his daily unceasing diligence,

the Spiritual Power in Su Bai's Dantian grew increasingly dense.

By March First, the Spiritual Power within Su Bai's body had already doubled compared to before.

But he was still quite far from the peak of Qi Refining Stage Three.

Most importantly, however, a notification finally sounded in Su Bai's mind: Immortal Talent Reflection had refreshed.

Name: Su Bai

Spirit Root Talent: Three-Attribute Spirit Root (Water, Fire, Wood)

Immortal Talent Reflection: Survey 1/1, Copy 1/1.

"As long as I copy a Dual Attribute Spirit Root."

"I'll basically have the Outer Court reward for the top three who advance to Qi Refining Stage Four in the bag. I hear there's even a magic artifact to claim!"

"Yu Ji, here I come..."

That day, after informing the old steward,

Su Bai headed for the Outer Court.

He first went to Steward Su's place to collect this month's nine Essence Replenishing Pills.

Outer Disciples at Qi Refining Stage Three received three Essence Replenishing Pills per month, plus six Essence Replenishing Pills as a reward for tending two mu of Spiritual Field.

Having entered the sect for a full year, Su Bai was already extremely familiar with the entire process of collecting Materials.

By the way, Su Bai also confirmed with Steward Su that among this batch of Outer Disciples, aside from Yu Ji and Jin Qingjian, no third person had advanced to Qi Refining Stage Four.

Afterward, Su Bai headed to Courtyard 98 to complete his main purpose for coming to the Outer Court today—copying a Spirit Root!

Using the Jade Talisman to contact them,

the formation of Courtyard 98 opened, allowing Su Bai to push open the door and enter.

"Junior Brother Su." Yu Ji was waiting for Su Bai in the courtyard.

Su Bai had arranged to meet Yu Ji in advance through the Jade Talisman, using some cultivation questions as his excuse.

Although Su Bai's request was somewhat presumptuous, Yu Ji, who had interacted with him several times before, did not refuse.

Over the past three months, Su Bai had also organized one discussion of the Dao between the two courtyards.

The disciples of both courtyards had benefited greatly.

As a Fire-Wood Dual Spirit Root cultivator, Yu Ji had also gained quite a few insights into cultivating Fire Attribute Spells from Jiang Han, reaping considerable rewards.

Naturally, his favorable impression of Su Bai had greatly increased as well.

When Su Bai invited Yu Ji this time, Yu Ji happened to be coming to the Outer Hall Steward's Office on March First to collect his spirit pills.

Thus, they arranged to meet in the courtyard today.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Yu, for being willing to offer me guidance," Su Bai said gratefully.

Su Bai quietly activated the survey function of Immortal Talent Reflection and obtained Yu Ji's Spirit Root attributes.

Survey successful!

Name: Yu Ji

Spirit Root Talent: Dual Attribute Spirit Root (Fire, Wood)

Just as the rumors said, Yu Ji possessed a Fire-Wood Dual Attribute Spirit Root.

Originally, since Yu Ji's Spirit Root had undergone the sect's double examination, Su Bai could have saved a use of Survey for something else. But his path of cultivation had only just begun, so it was better to be cautious in all things.

"It's nothing. As fellow disciples of the same sect, it is only right that we support each other," Yu Ji replied courteously.

"I wrote down some problems I encountered during cultivation in this booklet. I ask Senior Brother Yu to take a look."

"Senior Brother Yu broke through to Qi Refining Stage Three not long ago. Compared to Senior Brother Zhou from my courtyard, you should remember these issues more clearly." Having finished surveying and confirmed that everything was correct, the next step was copying.

Su Bai moved closer to Yu Ji and handed him the thin booklet.

Yu Ji noticed nothing amiss. When he reached out to accept it, their fingertips brushed lightly.

Su Bai activated Immortal Talent Reflection.

Copy successful. Copied target talent: Dual Spirit Root (Fire, Wood).

This Dual Spirit Root is incompatible with the host's original Three-Attribute Spirit Root. Please select the Spirit Root to discard.

Without the slightest hesitation, Su Bai chose to discard the Three Spirit Root.

Buzz.

Su Bai felt a gentle warmth vanish from his spine. At the same time, an even stronger warmth surged upward.

In the blink of an eye, Su Bai felt the speed at which the Spiritual Energy around him entered his body increase by more than threefold.

"With this speed of absorbing Spiritual Energy, no wonder those with Dual Spirit Root Talent cultivate so quickly!"

"Fortunately, I'm a Dual Spirit Root cultivator now too..."

While Su Bai was taking the chance to experience his new Spirit Root, Yu Ji had already finished reading the few cultivation problems Su Bai had recorded in the booklet.

Yu Ji quickly offered his insights.

Not only was his Spirit Root Talent outstanding, his comprehension was excellent as well.

After his explanation, Su Bai's questions were indeed resolved.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Yu," Su Bai said.

Yu Ji waved his hand. "No need to be polite."

After leaving Courtyard 98, Su Bai was in quite a good mood.

A Dual Spirit Root would be enough to support Su Bai's cultivation for several years.

At the very least, Su Bai had yet to encounter anyone with aptitude greater than a Dual Spirit Root.
