"Indeed, I am."
Lin Ke nodded politely.
"I see. Your mulberry tree must have awakened into a spirit." The disciple nodded slightly, then stepped out from behind the desk. "Understood. Come with me."
The mulberry tree had awakened into a spirit?
He could guess even that?
But considering that he was fairly well known, and that the name "Green Mulberry Garden" was part of that reputation, it made sense.
"When a green mulberry awakens into a spirit, there may be a chance of its bloodline reverting to its ancestors. You could look into that." The short disciple spoke as he walked. "The harder the conditions are to fulfill, the rarer the bloodline."
Ancestral reversion?
"Is ancestral reversion necessarily beneficial?" Lin Ke asked.

Some animals continually evolved over time.
If some so-called "ancestors" had gone extinct, the most likely reason was that they had failed to adapt to their environment.
So ancestral reversion was not necessarily a good thing.
It was the same with cultivation methods.
Much of what he had read in his previous life claimed that ancient methods were stronger than modern ones.
But reality was not like that.

The senior brother led him to a shelf lined with jade slips.
"Take a look for yourself. These
