True Lord Pinglan seemed to have noticed the little exchange below as well.
But remembering that Su Jiu had given that cultivation method to his youngest disciple, he could hardly shamelessly borrow it from her to study.
He merely smiled at Su Jiu. "Does your Azure Tide Sect have cultivation methods for every kind of spirit root?"
