Chapter 15 - The Realm of the One Cloud Warrior

Xiang Yun looked at the expressions of the two maidservants and thought deeply for a moment. After he understood the reason, he pretended to be displeased and coldly spoke.

"Ah!"

Having lost their composure in front of Xiang Yun, how could the two of them dare to stay any longer than necessary. Nodding their heads and bowing, they carefully left the room, and the moment they closed the door behind them, the two young maidservants dashed out of the courtyard like a hundred meter race.

Seeing the two maidservants leave, Xiang Yun turned to look at the table made of gold silk and iron and pear wood. He gently caressed the table with his hands, feeling the cold and hard texture of the table.

"This is indeed good wood, this is probably even more expensive than gold!" Xiang Yun stroked the square table, sighing in his heart. Although he was already rich, Xiang Yun had been born into an ordinary family in his previous life after all. Looking at these good things right now, it was hard not to feel like a commoner living in a city.

"En!"

Xiang Yun's hand had been fumbling about on the wooden table's surface when he suddenly felt that his hand had actually touched a sunken place.

Xiang Yun looked somewhat curiously at the place where his palm had touched, the place with the grooves. He discovered that from his current position, he could not see the grooves on the table.

"En, here!"

Xiang Yun only needed a single glance to feel like his entire body had been struck by lightning. He was suddenly struck dumb on the spot!

Xiang Yun could not help but lower his body once more as he leaned towards the square table. Moving his open palm, he gently placed it on top of the table made of gold wire and iron and pear wood!

At this moment, a palm-print groove that just so happened to match Xiang Yun's palm had appeared on the table!

"Hiss!"

Seeing this palm imprint, Xiang Yun was once again stunned. He stared blankly at the surface of the table in front of him, staring blankly for over ten minutes, occasionally using his hands to feel the grooves of the palm imprint on the table.

For a time, an indescribable feeling rose up within Xiang Yun's heart. It was a complicated emotion, one that contained suppressed excitement and agitation, worry about gain and loss, and even a few hints of confusion and fantasy!

"Did I really absorb Yun Li's power and become a martial artist?" Xiang Yun looked at the palm in front of him, his heart asking himself carefully!

The maid had made it clear that the table in front of them was not made of ordinary wood. It was made of the hardest gold wire of the country of Lu Ban, iron and pear wood.

If he wanted to slap such a hard object, even if it was a palm print that was almost invisible, the strength required was not something that an ordinary person could achieve. How could he do it?

Unless he himself and his scripture became a martial artist!

Xiang Yun thought back to the golden ball that had appeared in his dantian. This thing had sprouted and grew in his dantian, actually giving birth to a vine that extended from his dantian all the way to the Divine Temple above. He was immediately able to absorb the s.p.a.ce's cloud energy.

Xiang Yun's heart stirred as the scene in his dantian suddenly appeared in his mind. He once again saw that golden vine standing upright in the middle of his torso, it was extremely eye-catching!

At this moment, the blue mist was circulating within the golden vine and was firmly sealed by the golden vine. As the threads of energy spread outwards, they fused into Xiang Yun's meridians, blood, and internal organs, bringing about a cool and refres.h.i.+ng feeling!

Xiang Yun stared blankly at this wondrous scene that had appeared in his mind. He subconsciously opened his mouth and said, "This item, could it be the legendary spirit root?"

The latter was shaped like a meridian, and seemed to be invisible. Even in the dantian, it could absorb cloud energy, and before the martial artist had even reached the seventh cloud, the cloud energy would be stored in the spirit root!

"How could I have spiritual roots? Weren't I born with zero spiritual roots!" Xiang Yun was completely shocked in his heart!

He stared at the light golden vine that had grown out of thin air.

After staring blankly for a long while, Xiang Yun finally announced in disbelief that he had truly obtained a spiritual root. Even though a spiritual root was a joke to a martial pract.i.tioner.

According to the cultivation manuals, a martial artist was born with spiritual roots, which was a gift from the heavens. A talented cultivator would have more spiritual roots than an ordinary person, and the number of people who had attained perfection in the world would be a hundred and eight. That is to say, a person could have a maximum of one hundred and eight spiritual roots.

However, no one in this world had ever heard of someone possessing 108 spiritual roots. It was likely that only a G.o.d would have all of these spiritual roots.

An ordinary martial artist having a dozen or so spiritual roots was already considered a good talent, they were seedlings worthy of being nurtured by a n.o.ble family, and to be able to reach the level of twenty or even thirty would already be considered outstanding and enviable. Above that would be the talent of a genius, a natural born outstanding martial artist!

On the other hand, those martial artists with only a single number of spiritual roots, although they had the ability to sense clouds and could increase their cultivation base through absorbing energy, their spiritual roots were scarce. This was the reason why their cultivation speed was slower than others, moreover, their future cultivation speed would be limited and reaching the peak of the seventh cloud would be their limit.

Not only that, there was another drawback to the scarcity of spiritual roots, and that was that if he fought more people at the same level as him, he would often lose. Because spiritual roots were scarce, the amount of spiritual energy stored in his body would not be much, and his circulation speed would also become slower, because it would affect his explosive strength and endurance, making him weaker in battle!

At this moment, even though a spirit vein had appeared within Xiang Yun's body, there was actually only a single, pitiful spirit vein. If this were known to others, they would not be surprised and would instead laugh heartily as they pointed at Xiang Yun's nose.

"Heavens! Everyone, look! There's a weirdo here with only one spirit root! Heavens, this is the first time I've seen such a small amount of spirit roots. It's better to not have one at all!"

However, to the current Xiang Yun, the significance of this spirit root was obviously extraordinary. It was almost the instant that Xiang Yun woke up from his daze.

Xiang Yun finally could not hold back the expression on his face. From the corner of his mouth moving slightly to a curve, the arc gradually grew larger, and immediately turned into a crescent moon. The crescent moon grew larger, and finally opened its mouth, revealing a mouthful of pure-white teeth.

"Ha hha hha hha ha, I, Xiang Yun, have finally become a martial artist, and a f * cking true martial artist at that!"

Xiang Yun was wild with joy at this moment, like a penniless beggar who had suddenly picked up a ticket worth five million yuan, his excited emotions were self-evident. If not for the thing hanging from his crotch, this fellow would probably have flown into the sky in excitement!

Xiang Yun's excited cries rang out like the wailing of ghosts and the howling of wolves. If it weren't for the crown prince's chamber having a good soundproofing effect and the fact that the two maidservants that were originally waiting in the courtyard had already been scared off, everyone might have thought that the crown prince was going crazy!

"Hehehehe!"

At this moment, Xiang Yun was in his room stepping on the Divine Path's Hundred Transformations Steps, both fists waving, shouting out loudly!

"Phew." Xiang Yun tossed and turned for more than ten minutes, feeling some perspiration trickle down his forehead. Only then did he slowly stop his ecstasy. He wiped away the perspiration on his forehead, his face still filled with uncontrollable excitement.

"Is this how a martial artist feels!" At this moment, he could clearly feel that his body's quality was several times stronger than before. He could even say without any exaggeration that he was able to fight against the him of ten years ago, and that he did not even need to expend too much effort!

The current Xiang Yun was like a child who had just stepped into a cultivation gate. He was surrounded by mountains, and he was at most just a protruding stone on the ground, nothing more impressive than that!

Even so, Xiang Yun was already secretly delighted in his heart. After all, he had no fate with martial pract.i.tioners in the first place. Now that he had the opportunity to set foot in a new landscape, how could he still complain?

After being overjoyed, Xiang Yun finally retracted his thoughts, beginning to ponder the causes and effects of this matter. A spiritual root had grown out of nowhere from within his body. This was clearly not a coincidence.

If it wasn't a coincidence, then the only thing that could cause all of this was the Karmic Creation Art!

Although Xiang Yun did not know what rank of cultivation technique this Karmic Creation Art was, or whether it was valuable like the cultivation techniques of the crown prince's estate or the royal family, he had never heard of a cultivation technique that could help a person grow spiritual roots out of thin air. Even if this Karmic Creation Art was not a top cultivation technique, it was definitely not some ordinary low level item.

Having made up his mind, Xiang Yun was in no hurry to deal with the sweat on his body. At this moment, he once again entered his mind and began searching.

Since the Divine Path was real and the Art of Creation was real, the Five Poison Wine would definitely exist as well.

Back then when Xiang Yun had been looking at this proud smile, he had already known that this Five Poison Wine was a rather miraculous thing, a great tonic for the body. Although he had been somewhat disgusted by things like snakes, worms, mice, and ants, he would not leave these miraculous things uneaten just because he was choking on food.

Xiang Yun looked at the Five Poison Wine in front of him, feeling slightly happy in his heart. However, he immediately felt troubled. How would he be able to drink this? Could it be that he could use his consciousness to drink the Five Poison Wine?
