36: May I ask you, senior, what exactly is a spiritual root?

"Either scram, or die!"

The yellow-robed Young Miss looked coldly at the two Yao Beasts and said in a chilling voice.

As she spoke, her Aura suddenly bloomed, proving to be even stronger than the two Yao Beasts.

The Black Python and Golden Eagle exchanged glances, temporarily abandoning their fight with each other, and together pounced towards the woman.

In an instant, three powerful Auras collided, and the valley once again descended into chaos.

Chu Yuan seized this opportunity to quickly distance himself from the battle, once again concealing his Aura and hiding.

He looked towards the battlefield, observing the yellow-robed Young Miss who was handling the situation with ease, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Judging by this Aura and combat power, she should be at the Late Stage of the Spirit Absorption Realm or above."

Chu Yuan muttered to himself.

But he felt that the Young Miss's strength should not exceed the Spirit Absorption Realm; otherwise, she could have walked through this group of Yao Beasts unchallenged and wouldn't need to play dirty.

Moreover, looking at her current state, while she handled the two injured Late Stage Second-Tier Demon Beasts with ease, she couldn't achieve an overwhelming victory instantly.

This point was very clear!

Chu Yuan watched for a while, and then, thinking of something, couldn't help but curl his lips into a slight smile.

He had noticed earlier that although those Second-Tier Demon Beasts were strong, he wasn't completely powerless against them.

Killing a Late Stage Second-Tier Demon Beast might be very difficult, but self-preservation was not an issue!

Now, seeing the yellow-robed Young Miss's combat power, this conjecture was further confirmed.

"It seems that, at this current stage, I am not weak!"

Chu Yuan chuckled softly, no longer continuing to observe the situation in the field.

He planned to do something... Chu Yuan had an idea and stealthily moved towards the periphery of the battlefield... As the sun set.

The yellow-robed Young Miss sent the Golden Eagle to its demise with a single sword, and the battle finally came to an end.

"It's all that little thief's fault, otherwise, how could this Young Miss have such a hard time?"

The Young Miss wiped her sword and said indignantly.

Just then, a voice, young yet with a hint of steadiness, rang out.

"Senior, if I had known you were here just now, I wouldn't have acted rashly!"

Hearing this familiar voice, the Young Miss suddenly turned around, only to see the departing youth slowly walking over.

"You didn't leave?"

The yellow-robed Young Miss's expression turned cold as she vigilantly watched Chu Yuan approach.

Before, he was a bit far away and didn't pay much attention, but now, upon closer inspection, Chu Yuan's eyes couldn't help but light up.

The Young Miss wore a long yellow dress; although it was stained with some blood and looked a bit disheveled, it did not lose its fresh and bright appearance.

The long dress was made of extraordinary material, soft and smooth, gently fluttering with her movements.

Her features were as exquisite as a painting, with a pair of watery big eyes beneath willow-leaf eyebrows; as her gaze shifted, it seemed both innocent and full of unspoken words.

Her skin was as fair as snow, like congealed fat, delicate and smooth, warm like mutton-fat jade.

Chu Yuan retracted his gaze and said with a smile, "Senior, there's no need to be so vigilant. My strength is not great; I can't pose any threat to you!"

However, upon hearing this, the Young Miss did not relax her guard.

Her spiritual energy was now running low, and her combat power was greatly reduced, so she dared not be careless.

She looked coldly at Chu Yuan, "Do you think I believe that? Also, why did you come back?"

"Whether you believe it or not is Senior's business!"

Chu Yuan said, stopping his steps and bowing slightly, "After seeing Senior's ability to overpower the two great Yao Beasts, I also didn't stand idle. I was hunting First-Order Demonic Beasts on the periphery!"

Hearing this, the yellow-robed Young Miss was half-believing, half-doubting, and frowned, "Now that the battle is over, you still haven't left. What do you want to do?"

Chu Yuan took a step back and bowed again, "I was born in the countryside and am truly ignorant. I wish to ask Senior a few things."

The Young Miss frowned, "What do you want to ask?"

Chu Yuan quickly said, "Senior, I saw that those Yao Beasts were eager for that fruit. Does Senior know what that fruit is for?"

Hearing this, the Young Miss couldn't help but frown, "You don't know, yet you still tried to snatch it?"

Chu Yuan shook his head with a smile, "I dare not conceal it from Senior, I dislike Yao Beasts, and my previous actions were also because I didn't want the Yao Beasts to get that fruit."

Chu Yuan's words were half-true, he indeed didn't want those Yao Beasts to get that fruit and experience a great increase in strength.

Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, the Young Miss raised her eyebrows slightly, noncommittally.

She raised the sword in her hand, her beautiful eyes assessing Chu Yuan, and said in a cool voice:

"It's fine to tell you, but since this item has fallen into this Young Miss's hands, if you still harbor ill intentions, be careful, or this Young Miss will cleave you!"

Chu Yuan quickly shook his head and said with a smile, "The Yao Beasts were dealt with by Senior, so the item naturally belongs to Senior. I naturally wouldn't think otherwise."

"Besides, Senior must have seen my strength; it's far inferior to Senior's, so how would I dare to harbor any wicked thoughts?"

"Hmph, at least you know your place!" The Young Miss snorted coldly and continued:

"That fruit is a third-grade spirit fruit, a spirit cleansing fruit. It can purify the Bloodline of Yao Beasts and enhance their talent; it can also cleanse Human Race Human-grade Spiritual Roots, and there's even a slight possibility of elevating them to an Earthly Spiritual Root."

At this point, she hesitated for a moment and continued, "Although it's a third-grade spirit fruit, legend says it contains a trace of the power of creation, with a slight chance of allowing those without Spiritual Roots to acquire them later in life."

"To be honest, I've only seen this spirit cleansing fruit in books. Although it is only a third-grade spirit fruit, it is priceless, and legend also says that only those with great Luck can obtain it."

Hearing the Young Miss's words, Chu Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, his heart filled with uncertainty and surprise.

This spirit cleansing fruit is that outrageous?

Wait!

"Spiritual Root?"

Chu Yuan quickly asked, "May I ask Senior, what is this Spiritual Root you speak of?"

Although he already knew about the existence of Spiritual Roots through the primal divine crystal, he didn't know there were classifications?

The Young Miss's eyes widened slightly, seemingly containing a hint of disbelief, "You don't even know about Spiritual Roots? Then how did you Cultivate?"

Chu Yuan scratched his head, not feeling embarrassed at all, "Senior, I have a Cultivation Technique at home that I Cultivate by following it."

With that, he took out a yellowed booklet from his embrace, which was the original copy of the Heavenly Revelation Basic Method he had previously duplicated and backed up.

"Senior, it's this one!"

"The elders in my family said that if one has Cultivation talent, one can draw Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi for Body Tempering. If there is no Cultivation talent, then one cannot Cultivate."

Chu Yuan said, deliberately opening the first page for her to see.

"Heavenly Revelation Basic Method?"

The Young Miss's eyes showed surprise, as if she recognized this Cultivation Technique. She looked at Chu Yuan with a complex expression.

"Little thief, your Spiritual Root might be very strong, otherwise, Cultivating this common basic method, it would be impossible to Cultivate this quickly."

Chu Yuan scratched his head and chuckled, pretending to be simple and honest, "Not really, the elders in my family said there's a Spirit Absorption Realm above the Spiritual Enlightenment Realm, but I just can't Break through!"

Hearing this, the Young Miss's eyelid twitched slightly, and she secretly mused: That's just a Cultivation Technique for the Spiritual Enlightenment Realm; it would be a miracle if you could Break through.

She didn't say it outright, but looked at Chu Yuan with astonishment, "How many years have you been Cultivating?"

"I started Cultivating three years ago!"

Chu Yuan began to spin a web of lies, "A year ago, I ate a very fragrant fruit in the mountains and then Broke through to my current Realm."

The Young Miss raised an eyebrow slightly. No wonder he was so fast; so he had an opportunity?

If so, then it was no longer strange.

With the aid of Spirit Medicine, it was quite easy to Break through to Spiritual Enlightenment Realm Perfection.

Of course, Cultivating with the Heavenly Revelation Basic Method, plus an unknown spirit fruit, made it difficult to judge the strength of the youth's Spiritual Root.

At this moment, Chu Yuan asked again, "May I ask Senior, what is this Spiritual Root you mentioned?"
