Tie Wuqing's Opportunity

"Senior, how do we enter the stone gate for the trial?"

Ye Xiaofan heard the hint of jealousy in the mini-dragon's tone and didn't ask about spiritual roots anymore.

"I don't know."

The mini-dragon snorted coldly and ignored Ye Xiaofan, fiercely gnawing on the Blood Qi Pill in its hand.

It was as if they had a deep-seated hatred.

Ye Xiaofan awkwardly touched his nose. He could tell this mini-dragon wasn't very old, around eight or nine years old.

But its cultivation had at least reached the Ninth Level Body Refinement with two Blood Replacements, possibly even three.

"Gang Leader Tie, you try it too."

Ye Xiaofan turned to look at Tie Wuqing and said. Since the mini-dragon was unwilling to speak, they would have to find another way after Tie Wuqing finished her test.

No one could refuse the inheritance of an Immortal Emperor; he absolutely had to get a piece of the pie.

"Alright!"

Tie Wuqing nodded and placed her hand on the stone tablet, channeling her blood qi.

Instantly, the stone tablet glowed again, though the light was very faint, merely covering the tablet.

Compared to Ye Xiaofan's, it was like a firefly next to the bright moon.

After the light dissipated, four blue spots appeared on the tablet's surface.

The mini-dragon glanced over subtly before continuing to eat its Blood Qi Pill.

Tie Wuqing raised an eyebrow. Although she didn't know how spiritual root grades were classified, she could roughly guess from the intensity of the stone tablet's glow and the number of spots that a brighter glow indicated a higher spiritual root grade.

I wonder what level my spiritual root grade is. But compared to Xiaofan, it's like a firefly next to the bright moon. No wonder his cultivation speed is so fast.

Tie Wuqing sighed inwardly and turned around, ready to ask Ye Xiaofan what to do next.

She hadn't even realized that she had unconsciously started treating Ye Xiaofan as the pillar of support.

At this moment, Ye Xiaofan was hugging his chest, tilting his head and staring at the mini-dragon, contemplating how to get information out of it.

An Immortal Emperor's cultivation technique wouldn't be lower than top-grade. As long as he got his hands on it, he wouldn't have to worry about cultivation techniques anymore and could focus solely on making money.

Tie Wuqing had just turned around and before she could speak, the great hall underwent another change.

Golden light shot out from the three stone gates on the wall, enveloping Ye Xiaofan.

Then, Ye Xiaofan's figure disappeared from the hall, and the golden light also vanished.

Tie Wuqing quickly looked at the three stone gates, her eyes filled with anticipation.

She also yearned for the Immortal Emperor's inheritance.

However, after waiting for a long time, the three stone gates showed no further signs.

"Stop looking. Your spiritual root is too trashy; you don't even have the qualifications to participate in the trial."

A milky voice came from behind her.

"My spiritual root grade isn't enough?"

It was like a basin of ice water poured over her head.

An Immortal Emperor!

Just hearing it, they were clearly beings at the pinnacle of the world.

Yet, she didn't even have the qualifications to participate in the trial for such a powerful being's inheritance.

Tie Wuqing's eyes dimmed. The initial excitement and fervor were ruthlessly extinguished.

If I could obtain the Immortal Emperor's inheritance, I could avenge my mother. I'm not reconciled.

Tie Wuqing subconsciously picked up the wine gourd hanging from her waist and took a swig.

Immediately, a fragrance of wine filled the air.

"Hey, little girl, what's that so fragrant? Hurry and let this grandpa have a taste."

The mini-dragon, appearing from who knows where, hung on the spiritual root testing stone tablet, staring curiously at the wine gourd in Tie Wuqing's hand.

It kept swallowing its saliva.

Looking at the mini-dragon, which was as thick as a finger, Tie Wuqing's eyes flickered, and she immediately had an idea.

She then smiled and, imitating Ye Xiaofan, said, "Senior, this is wine. It's very delicious. Would you like some?"

"Hurry and let this grandpa have a taste."

The mini-dragon nodded frantically.

Tie Wuqing didn't delay, letting a drop of wine fall into the mini-dragon's mouth.

The mini-dragon smacked its lips, and its shiny black eyes instantly shot out two beams of divine light.

"Whoosh~"

Tie Wuqing felt a blur before his eyes, a lightness in his hand, and the wine gourd was gone.

He quickly turned to look and saw the mini-dragon holding the wine gourd, which was more than ten times larger than itself, tilting it towards its mouth.

There wasn't much wine left in the gourd, and the mini-dragon drank it all in one go.

As the last drop of wine entered its mouth, the mini-dragon let out a burp, narrowed its eyes, and patted its belly with satisfaction.

"Little lady, I don't take things for free. Tell me, what are your demands?"

Tie Wuqing was secretly amazed, watching the mini-dragon, no thicker than a finger, drink so much wine without its belly showing any change. Just then, he unexpectedly heard the mini-dragon speak.

His disappointment and unwillingness reignited with renewed fervor.

"Senior, do you have a way for me to participate in the trial?"

"No, this trial was set up by that annoying old man. Your Spiritual Root grade isn't high enough, so you can't enter."

Tie Wuqing was disappointed again. He turned to look at the three stone gates on the stone wall, his eyes filled with unwillingness.

"Sigh, what's so great about some broken inheritance? That annoying old man left behind hundreds of millions of such inheritances. They're not good stuff. How about I give you a cultivation technique?"

The mini-dragon dangled from the Spiritual Root testing stone tablet again, examining Tie Wuqing as it spoke dismissively.

"Really?"

Tie Wuqing had already given up all hope, but upon hearing the mini-dragon's words, he asked with surprise and joy.

"Your Spiritual Root is too trashy, it's hard to find a suitable one. Let me think carefully about what cultivation technique to give you."

The mini-dragon regretted its promise to give Tie Wuqing a cultivation technique as soon as it made it. Its inheritance memories did indeed contain some top-grade human cultivation techniques.

But Tie Wuqing's Spiritual Root was only grade four. Giving her a top-grade technique would harm her.

Tie Wuqing's face darkened at first, then he stared excitedly and expectantly at the frowning mini-dragon.

Trading a bit of worthless wine for a cultivation technique was no different from a pie falling from the sky.

"Got it!"

After a moment, The mini-dragon's brows relaxed, and its eyes lit up. It searched its unsealed inheritance memories and found a very niche top-grade cultivation technique.

The Heaven Mending Art!

This cultivation technique was rumored to be a fragment created by a supreme being who surpassed Immortal Emperors.

Cultivating it to the Perfection Realm could raise a creature's innate talent to grade seven. The Dragon Clan ancestors found it interesting and included it in their inheritance memories.

"Your Spiritual Root is only grade four. I don't have a cultivation technique suitable for you to cultivate, but I have one that can raise your Spiritual Root to grade seven. Do you want it?"

"Yes!"

Tie Wuqing nodded quickly. She had already guessed that Spiritual Root was a person's talent.

A higher Spiritual Root grade meant one could cultivate higher-grade techniques and cultivate faster.

Such a technique that could defy fate was practically an immortal technique.

After the mini-dragon transmitted the Heaven Mending Art to Tie Wuqing, it began to gnaw on the Blood Qi Pills with relish, muttering, "If only there was some wine."

Meanwhile, Tie Wuqing stood stunned in place.

The Heaven Mending Art could indeed raise Spiritual Roots below grade seven to grade seven, and it wasn't difficult to cultivate.

As long as one had the corresponding heavenly materials and earthly treasures, one could smoothly cultivate it to the Perfection Realm.

However, many of the heavenly materials and earthly treasures mentioned within were things she had never even heard of.

They were things she had no ability to obtain at all.

She felt like she had been toyed with by the mini-dragon.

On the other side, "Spatial Teleportation."

After a feeling of weightlessness.

Ye Xiaofan opened his eyes again and found himself standing on a plaza paved with white jade slabs.

In front of him stood a mountain that soared into the clouds. At the foot of the mountain, a stone staircase extended upwards, disappearing into the clouds.

To the left of the stone staircase stood a stone tablet.

The stone tablet read: Ascend to the mountain peak to obtain my inheritance!

Ye Xiaofan walked around his surroundings and found that he could only move within a radius of ten feet. The only way to leave this place was that stone staircase.

Ye Xiaofan hesitated no longer and stepped onto the first stone step.
