Though this kind of energy is almost negligible, she is the only one who cultivates that energy. Hence its abundant for her. Plus that substance in her body planted by her enemy is helping her to absorb dark energy as much as possible.
And her cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds. She is now already at True Qi Realm 9, no longer considered a waste and is on par with her peers. But Lin family kept it a secret and outsiders do not know about it yet.
"Aunt Song, why did you personally visit to send the supplies this time?", Chujiu asked with a smiling face as if she did not discover anything.
Aunt Song showed a gentle smile and said, "I just had something to discuss with Madam Lin, so I came while brining in the supplies for this week. Also, we have brought special spices this time for Lin family. Recently our Ling'er went to Cloud Deep Forest to play, he discovered some spices in the deep mountain ranges and they seems to have good spiritual energy and adds good flavour to the dishes. We are going to be relatives in the future. So we have to share good things with you. "
Aunt Song is Song Qingyou who is sister of Head of the Song family Song Huai. Song Yin, the youngest daughter of Song Huai is engaged to Lin Qiang, son of the Head of the Lin family.
Ling'er that aunt song is talking about is the only son of the Song family's Head, Song Ling. He will be taking over Song family in the future, so he is being carefully nurtured. He is now at Stage 5 Spirit Realm. He is only 15 this year.
There is a contract given to Song family to get some supplies from one of their stores every week. All the spices for Lin family are supplied from their stores every week. Since there are hundreds of people in Lin manor, the consumption is huge and spices are key in the cooking.
Herbs, spices and other cooking ingredients with spiritual energy are expensive compared to normal ones. they help with cultivation and solidifying the foundation of spiritual energy, so all large families have a huge requirement but supply is limited making them expensive.
Song family has sources that collect and supply these expensive items on a large scale, plus they have large fields and mountains under their family where they grow these ingredients.
Aunt Song is incharge of the supply stores in the Capital. She has multiple stores under her management, she is a widow and lives in the Song Family. She do not have children.
Chujiu's heart pounded. The truth hit her like a ton of bricks. This wasn't some random enemy – the traitor was someone close to the family, someone they'd never suspected.
Chujiu knew they had to confront this enemy and whoever was behind this, but she needed a proof first. Solid proof to show everyone who the traitor was and keep her family safe.
Aunt song is taken to meet Madam Lin in her court yard.
Chujiu asked the song family servants to put down all the boxes in a separate room arranged for supplies. But she cleared one of those rooms before asking them to place the boxes.
There are 5 rooms where all weekly and monthly supplies for kitchen are placed. She had already checked the current supplies and there is no problem with them, but one of the boxes from the new ones today have an issue, so she asked her servants to vacate a room first.
After that, she asked Cai Wei and Cai Meying to keep an eye on the servants on the Song family store without them noticing and left to her grandfather's courtyard.
"Grandfather, what are you doing? Have you had your breakfast?"
Grandfather Lin who is having his tea in the hall looked up to his grand daughter and smiled.
"You are here, come sit and have some tea. I had breakfast already".
"Grandfather, have you received Snow Light Pearl?"
Dark element energy cannot be expelled from the human body by themselves, if not extracted its corrosive effect will harm the bodies. Snow Light Pearl is a nemesis to the Dark element energies if activated. A person with light element spiritual root can activate it and extract the dark element energy in to the pearl and destroy it or use it.
Chujiu has both elements and doesn't need to destroy that dark energy which is extracted and can consume them both. But the problem is her light element energy is currently dormant though it was present, it is not cultivated yet. So though Chujiu is not sure, she has to give it a try and see if she can activate the snow light pearl.
Grandfather Lin once saved a person from one of the higher continents. Though the person did not reveal his identity or from which continent he came from, he left 3 talismans which can be used to contact him and ask for help when needed.
Grandfather Lin can only ask for help 3 times from that person. He never had a need to ask but now he asked for the sake of his family.
"He said, the Snow Light Pearl can reach us in a week. He will send it through someone. He will also send a guide on how to activate it and cultivate Light element energy."
Chujiu is surprised, "Grandfather, did you tell him that I have light element spirit root?"
"I did not say anything but isn't it understandable. Snow Light Pearl can only be activated by a person who has light element and its only use is to extract dark element energies and destroy them."
He took a deep sigh and said, "I did not reveal the identity but only asked for the pearl, he won't know its you. He can only understand that we need to extract dark energy and there must be a person with light element spirit root with us."
"Our Divine Pheonix continent may not have produced a light spiritual root cultivator but other continents do have them. Don't worry about it."
Chujiu nodded that she understood and then explained about her findings among the Song family supplies.
