Beehive: Lv. 1 (Monthly Votes Requested)

For the six great immortal sects, any Heavenly Spirit Root recruit would have Golden Core True Persons clamoring to take them as a disciple.

And now Wen Ling'er was suspected of having a Variant Spiritual Root, too.

Most Foundation Establishment Cultivators probably knew nothing about it. If Ji Yuan wanted answers, he would have to visit Carefree Island.

When he arrived, Hua Yaoyue was lounging drunkenly on a hilltop in a long pink dress, gazing dreamily across the Boundless Marsh.

Whether she was contemplating the Dao or simply daydreaming, he could not tell.

That pink dress would have been hard for almost any woman to pull off, yet it suited Hua Yaoyue remarkably well. Rather than looking gaudy, she looked all the more beautiful.

After all, Hua Yaoyue was rather tall.

Taller, in fact, than quite a few male cultivators.

If she ran into certain Demonic Cultivators, they might take one look at her and call out, "Mother!"

As before, Ji Yuan first handed over several dozen jugs of Wishful Wine. Only then did he say quietly, "Master, this disciple has something to ask."

"What is it?"

Hearing that Ji Yuan had another matter to discuss, Hua Yaoyue finally withdrew her gaze. She did not rise, nor did he see her move, but in the blink of an eye she had turned around.

She looked straight at her final disciple.

Ji Yuan faced Hua Yaoyue often enough, yet the sight of her hazy, drunken eyes still made his heart flutter.

"This disciple heard that the sect recruited someone with a Variant Spiritual Root a few years ago."

"A Variant Spiritual Root?"

Hua Yaoyue frowned faintly at his words. After a moment's recollection, she said, "I only know that we recruited someone with a Heavenly Spirit Root a few years ago.
