"The Human Clan cultivators' practice is divided into Qi Rushing Through the Eight Meridians, Spirit Sea Awakening, Embracing the Pill and Entering the Method, and the Fusion of Heart Movement. Qi Rushing Through the Eight Meridians is cleansing the marrow with Spiritual Energy, Spirit Sea Awakening is turning the dantian into a gathering place for Spiritual Power, known as the Spirit Sea, while Embracing the Pill and Entering the Method is about condensing the Spiritual Power into a Golden Core, in which thousands of methods are stored. As for me, I am a cultivator who has reached the Embracing the Pill and Entering the Method stage, and as for the later stage Fusion of Heart Movement, it is a realm that many people cannot glimpse even if they dedicate their entire lives to it."
On the sports field of White Bridge University, Mo Haosheng was sitting cross-legged on a flying sword, speaking while explaining the path of cultivation to the tens of thousands of people on the field.
The entire city had tens of millions of people, and although it had suffered heavy losses over the past few days, the number was still enormous, continuously converging toward White Bridge University.
The other disciples of the Luoshui Sect were assessing people's Spirit Roots. Everyone was queuing up honestly, not daring to make a racket. Looking at Mo Haosheng, who seemed like an immortal, most people had expressions of yearning on their faces. Those who were disheartened were the ones who had been eliminated and could not join the Luoshui Sect.
"Spirit Roots determine one's talent for cultivation. Everyone has a Spirit Root, which is usually categorized into the Five Elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Mixed Spiritual Roots have the worst talent as they possess all five elements, tantamount to having no prominent attributes. Then there are Four Spiritual Roots, Three Spiritual Roots, and reaching Three Spiritual Roots means you can already be considered a genius. Major sects will open their doors to you. The most monstrous are those with a Single Spiritual Root, incredibly pure, and cultivating techniques of the same attribute will progress at an amazing speed. Our Luoshui Sect also has only one person with a Single Spiritual Root."
"Besides the Five Elements Spirit Root, there are also other special types of Spirit Roots. When you venture into the world in the future, you may come across them."
Mo Haosheng spoke indifferently, utterly like a being of the immortal kind, neither joyful nor sorrowful, detached from worldly matters.
In the crowd, Nan Xiaopao listened with longing, and it wasn't just her—most of the people present were young men and women, all at an age of fantasy and feeling their blood surge with excitement.
Mo Haosheng swept his gaze over the crowd and said, "Among you, most will not be able to return to the Luoshui Sect with us. The fact that we can shelter those with potential is already a kindness from the Luoshui Sect. However, before we leave, I will bestow the Cultivation Method on you. In the future, it will all depend on your own creation."
Upon hearing this, everyone became excited and began to shout their thanks to the great immortal.
Although Mo Haosheng was arrogant, he was not foolish. He knew that some people, even without great talent, could still make a name for themselves. He was sowing the seeds of good karma for himself.
At that moment, he suddenly noticed Nan Xiaopao, his gaze fixed, and with a wave of his hand, he used his Spiritual Power to lift Nan Xiaopao to the front of the crowd.
Nan Xiaopao was panicked for a moment, but she soon landed on the ground.
"You possess the Strength of One Dragon, not simple at all. What is your background?"
Mo Haosheng stared at Nan Xiaopao and asked in a deep voice, drawing the attention of the other Luoshui Sect disciples.
Strength of One Dragon?
Impossible!
How could a commoner possess such power?
Even cultivators who have experienced Spirit Sea Awakening find it hard to possess the Strength of One Dragon!
Could this girl have an extraordinary background?
The Luoshui Sect disciples secretly marveled, continuously sizing up Nan Xiaopao.
The tens of thousands of people buzzed with commotion; the Strength of One Dragon sounded impressive.
The students of White Bridge University also recognized Nan Xiaopao. Wasn't she Su Yie's companion?
They recalled Su Yie's terrifying power from the other day and couldn't help but shudder.
"I am just an ordinary person. What about it? Do you have a problem with me?"
Nan Xiaopao gritted her teeth and retorted. She couldn't expose Su Yie. She understood the concept of incurring guilt by the possession of valuable items. A pill that could greatly increase her strength was definitely not ordinary and might provoke the greed of these Luoshui Sect disciples.
Mo Haosheng was taken aback for a moment, then smiled wryly.
He looked at Nan Xiaopao carefully. She was cute and sprightly, and compared to others, she dressed in a very eye-catching manner, which gave him a sudden desire to possess her.
"Be my personal maidservant, and I will take you back to the Luoshui Sect and lead you on the path to seeking immortality. How about it?"
Mo Haosheng asked with a smile. Many girls on the field looked at Nan Xiaopao with envy and jealousy. Mo Haosheng was handsome and possessed extensive divine skills. If they were in her shoes, they would have surely agreed without hesitation.
Who knew that without even giving it a thought, Nan Xiaopao would directly reject him, "I'd rather not. I'm already someone else's wife, and my mother said, a woman must observe the virtues of modesty."
After speaking, she turned and walked away.
Compared to the Luoshui Sect, she cared more for Su Yie.
Seeing this, some girls who considered themselves pretty rushed out.
"Immortal, I will be your maidservant!"
"Immortal, what do you think of me?"
"I can go with you!"
"I'm prettier than her, take me instead!"
A hint of gloom passed through Mo Haosheng's eyes, he ignored the girls below and did not pursue Nan Xiaopao.
Inside, he scoffed, "Dare to refuse me, wait until tonight, I'll make you obediently serve me!"
In front of so many people, he naturally didn't dare to forcefully take Nan Xiaopao, after all, Luoshui Sect is a renowned sect of the orthodox path.
The disciples of Luoshui Sect also started laughing, finding it curious that someone would dare to refuse Mo Haosheng.
Although Nan Xiaopao possessed the Strength of One Dragon, her body was devoid of any Spiritual Power, so while they were surprised, they did not fear her.
The Luoshui Golden Eagle cried long in the sky, as if mocking Mo Haosheng as well.
Nan Xiaopao, feeling indignant, returned to her dorm. At that moment, Su Yie had just finished swallowing another Dragon Strength Pill and asked without turning his head, "What's wrong?"
"It's that guy from Luoshui Sect, he actually wants to take me as his personal maid! It infuriates me. Just wait until I become stronger, I'll show him!"
Nan Xiaopao sat on her bed, arms crossed before her chest, humming continuously.
Upon hearing this, Su Yie's expression immediately darkened.
Nan Xiaopao was the person he liked, how could he let someone else touch her?
He did not speak, but he noted this issue, determined to teach that guy from Luoshui Sect a lesson once he had gathered the Strength of a Hundred Dragons.
In fact, his current power was already enough to sweep away those disciples of Luoshui Sect, but for the sake of safety, he was focused on fully absorbing the Dragon Strength Pill as soon as possible.
...
Boom Boom Boom—
Rolling Demon Clouds swept in from the horizon, enveloping the mountainous city streets; the tens of thousands of people within White Bridge University also looked up, thinking a storm was about to break.
"Such powerful Demon Qi... Be careful everyone! It must be Elder Lord Qi Yang!"
Mo Haosheng opened his eyes and shouted in a deep voice, immediately leaping up, his Flying Sword landing in his hands.
The other disciples of Luoshui Sect also drew their swords, preparing for battle.
This scene made the people on the field foresee disaster, all looking up at the sky in terror.
Only to see the dark clouds churning in the sky, Demon Qi soaring, blocking the sunlight from filtering down, and vaguely, they could see a figure standing above the clouds.
It was none other than Elder Lord Qi Yang!
Elder Lord Qi Yang looked down with an expressionless face, the murderous intent in his eyes causing sweat to break out on Mo Haosheng and the others' spines.
Mo Haosheng sensed trouble and quickly called out, "Elder Lord, what is the meaning of this?"
"Was it you who killed Crimson Blood?"
Elder Lord Qi Yang spoke, his voice booming like thunder across the entire White Bridge University.
Crimson Blood?
The thousands of students and faculty at White Bridge University thought of the Crimson Blood Serpent King, could this be the Snake Demon's backer?
With this in mind, their fear intensified, and no one dared to speak out.
"Crimson Blood?"
Mo Haosheng was stunned and quickly explained, "We have come to the Land of Qiling and have not killed a single Demon!"
The tens of thousands of people on the field were shocked to look at him, Mo Haosheng's words shattering their understanding of Cultivators.
Shouldn't cultivators be slaying demons and exorcising monsters?
Why did Mo Haosheng take such a low stance in front of a Monster?
