Spiritual Root

Many decades ago, GongXin Sect was originally a small and weak Sect located in the east.

However, after Bai QiuRen took over as Sect Master, the small Sect rose up in rank and in just a couple of decades and has become one of the four major Sects in the cultivation world.

It was widely known that the greatest merit of building such a strong Sect was because of Sect Master Bai QiuRen. He was powerful, graceful, kind and loved by many.

In his previous life, although Bie Feng and his master, Tie Cheng, had never met Bai QiuRen before, they have a good impression of him as he was the master of one of Tie Cheng's sworn brothers.

"Qin Ji, you can try to join me in GongXin Sect when you turn 10…" Xiao Li saw the light in the child's eye and comforted him.

If his status, money and the minimum age requirement of 10 did not exist, Xiao Li would really consider bringing this child along with him. However, his current status now as the Hu Family's Servant was really inconvenient to protect the people he cared about.

"I have a spiritual root?" Bie Feng tilted his head and awkwardly asked.

"Aiya...your head injury really seems serious…"

"I promise I will see a doctor by tomorrow if it doesn't get better."

"..."

"So...what is my spiritual root?"

Bie Feng was so excited that his eyes turned into crescents and his pupils can no longer be seen.

"It...is a 2nd-grade ice spiritual root…"

"Wa wa wa wa… not bad at all!!! Not bad at all!!!! …. Ow! " Bie Feng stood up in shock, forgetting about his broken foot.

Those with 1st-grade spiritual roots regardless of its element can enrol into most major Sects for free. Rare spiritual roots such as ice, lightning etc regardless of grade, can also enrol for free. But 2nd and 3rd-grade common spiritual roots would have to pay the Sects, similar to paying school fees in a modern world.

Although Bie Feng's spiritual root is only 2nd grade, the ice spiritual root is considered a rare spiritual root. If he were to enrol into a Sect, most likely it would be free.

In his previous life, his master had a 1st-grade lightning spiritual root. Truly a male-god ah!

Bie Feng was really pleased with his spiritual root. Even though he still hasn't found out how to use it, he was grinning widely, forgetting the existence of Xiao Li.

"Ah-Qin…I've always treated you like a little brother, so I hope you can take care of yourself the next few years...Don't always get hurt like that anymore. It breaks my heart"

He paused for a while and took out a bag of copper coins from his pocket.

"Here, I hope you will stop working for Old Huang, this is not much... but it is all I have. Take it and try to find another job, alright?" Xiao Li gently spoke.

Bie Feng was embarrassed by receiving money from Xiao Li, but as a human child now, he might really need it now before he sorts out what is happening. His light brown eyes looked straight at Xiao Li before nodding in acknowledgement.

"I have to go now...I will send you my address once I settle down and you can write to me anytime."

Xiao Li stood up and walked towards Uncle Duan's room door.

"Uncle Duan, Xiao Li will take his leave to GongXin Sect tomorrow. I will not be back for the next few years. Xiao Li will always be grateful for your spiritual enlightenment in the past few years." He did not enter the room but prostrated in front of the door.

There was no response from Uncle Duan's room.

"He should be resting now. I will let him know when he wakes up." Bie Feng quickly said.

"I know. But I still have to say what I needed to say." Xiao Li made his way out of the house.

Bie Feng's heart was sad. He just met this nice person ah! Why does he have to go so soon?

"Take care, big brother Li." Bie Feng blurted out as he saw Xiao Li leaving.

"…?" Bie Feng was screaming in his head. Big brother????? Can't believe he called someone that.

It could be that the original body's memories are starting to return so he subconsciously said that.

Not knowing the commotion happening inside Bie Feng's head, Xiao Li turned around, gave a gentle smile, before disappearing into the distance.
