huà yīn wèi luò ， tā jiāng shén shí fàng chū ， zài què dìng yī xià ， lín xuān de xiū wèi zhǐ shì fēn shén chū qī ， zhè xiǎo zi de shí lì yuè dī ， yuè ràng tā gǎn jué gǔ guài shén mì 。 zhè yě shì tā xuǎn zé yǔ lín xuān wò shǒu yán hé de yuán yīn zhī yī 。
话音未落，他将神识放出，再确定一下，林轩的修为只是分神初期，这小子的实力越低，越让他感觉古怪神秘。这也是他选择与林轩握手言和的原因之一。
His words barely finished when he released his divine consciousness to confirm once more. Lin Xuan's cultivation was only at the Spirit Dividing Stage, and the lower his strength, the stranger and more mysterious he found it. This was one of the reasons why he chose to reconcile with Lin Xuan.
rán ér tiān zhī dào ， zhè yī kàn ， què fā xiàn le bù tuǒ ， ràng yuán běn yào huà gān gē wéi yù bó de liǎng rén ， chóng xīn zài shēng chū tiān dà de bō lán lái le 。
然而天知道，这一看，却发现了不妥，让原本要化干戈为玉帛的两人，重新再生出天大的bō澜来了。
However, heaven knew what happened next; this inspection revealed something amiss, causing the two who were about to turn swords into plowshares to stir up a huge storm again.
zhè yì wài biàn gù ， biàn shì lín xuān gāng cái ， yě shì wán quán méi yǒu xiǎng dào de 。
这意外变故，便是林轩刚才，也是完全没有想到的。
This unexpected change was exactly what Lin Xuan had not anticipated just now.
duì fāng shén shí sǎo guò ， qǐ chū ， lín xuān méi yǒu rú hé zài yì ， dàn hěn kuài ， tā jiù chá jué dào ， zhè shén shí yǔ yǐ wǎng de bù tóng ， lǐ miàn yùn hán yǒu yī sī shén mì lì liàng zài lǐ miàn de 。
对方神识扫过，起初，林轩没有如何在意，但很快，他就察觉到，这神识与以往的不同，里面蕴含有一丝神秘力量在里面的。
As his opponent's divine consciousness swept over him, at first, Lin Xuan didn't pay much attention. But soon, he sensed that this divine consciousness was different from usual; it contained a mysterious force within.
lín xuān méi tou yí zhòu ， suī rán méi gǎn jué dào zhè shén mì lì liàng néng duì zì jǐ zào chéng shāng hài shén me ， dàn yǐ tā jǐn shèn xiǎo xīn de xìng gé ， hái shì lì kè shī zhǎn shén tōng ， jiāng zhè dào guǐ yì de lì liàng gé kāi le 。
林轩眉头一皱，虽然没感觉到这神秘力量能对自己造成伤害什么，但以他谨慎小心的xìng格，还是立刻施展神通，将这道诡异的力量隔开了。
Lin Xuan frowned. Although he couldn't feel any harm from this mysterious power, his cautious nature immediately had him manifesting a technique to isolate the strange energy.
kě xī wéi shí yǐ wǎn 。
可惜为时已晚。
Unfortunately, it was too late.
duì fāng yòu jīng yòu xǐ de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr biān ：“ fán rén shèng tǐ ， nǐ jū rán yōng yǒu de shì fán rén shèng tǐ ， hā hā ， shàng tiān dài běn zūn hái zhēn shì bù báo ……”
对方又惊又喜的声音传入耳边：“凡人圣体，你居然拥有的是凡人圣体，哈哈，上天待本尊还真是不薄……”
His opponent's voice filled with surprise and joy echoed in his ears: "A mortal saint body! You actually possess a mortal saint body? Haha, heaven is indeed generous to me..."
huà yīn wèi luò ， tā de liǎn shàng lù chū jí wéi xiōng hàn zhī sè。
话音未落，他的脸上lù出极为凶悍之sè。
Before he could finish speaking, an extremely fierce expression appeared on his face.
bù ， xiōng hàn zhī zhōng ， gèng duō de shì tān lán ， fǎng fú lín xuān zài tā de yǎn zhōng ， yǐ huà shēn wèi yī jià zhí lián chéng de bǎo wù 。
不，凶悍之中，更多的是贪婪，仿佛林轩在他的眼中，已化身为一价值连城的宝物。
No, more than ferocity was greed. In Lin Xuan’s eyes, he had already transformed into a priceless treasure.
“ bù hǎo ！”
“不好！”
"Bad news!"
lín xuān dòu fǎ jīng yàn hé děng fēng fù ， lì kè bèi tā kàn chū le bù tuǒ ， zhè zhǒng yǎn shén ， lín xuān zhǐ zài jí shǎo shù xiū shì de yǎn zhōng kàn dào guò 。
林轩斗法经验何等丰富，立刻被他看出了不妥，这种眼神，林轩只在极少数修士的眼中看到过。
Lin Xuan's combat experience was so rich that he immediately sensed something amiss. He only saw such expressions in the eyes of a few rare cultivators.
nà shì yī zhǒng kuáng rè ， fán shì lù chū zhè zhǒng yǎn shén de xiū shì ， duì suǒ kàn zhòng de bǎo wù ， shì wú lùn rú hé bú huì fàng qì de 。
那是一种狂热，凡是lù出这种眼神的修士，对所看中的宝物，是无论如何不会放弃的。
That was a kind of madness; any cultivator who showed this would never give up on their target, no matter what.
lín xuān bù míng bái qián yī kè duì fāng míng míng hái dā yìng yán hé ， ér qiě yě bù xiàng xū yǔ wēi yí ， wèi hé jǐn jǐn guò le jǐ xī de gōng fu ， jiù mò míng qí miào de gǎi biàn le zhǔ yì 。 zhè zhōng jiān yí dìng shì yǒu yuán yīn dì 。
林轩不明白前一刻对方明明还答应言和，而且也不像虚与委蛇，为何仅仅过了几息的功夫，就莫名其妙的改变了主意。这中间一定是有原因地。
Lin Xuan didn't understand why his opponent had changed his mind just now after agreeing to reconcile and not acting like he was merely going through the motions. There must be reasons behind it, and they were likely related to the mortal saint body mentioned earlier.
ér qiě yǔ duì fāng gāng gāng suǒ shuō de fán rén shèng tǐ duō bàn yǒu guān xì 。
而且与对方刚刚所说的凡人圣体多半有关系。
But Lin Xuan had more pressing matters at hand; he couldn’t afford to ponder these things. He needed to find a way to resolve this crisis first. With that thought in mind, his entire body shone with brilliance as he shifted slightly to his left. This small movement made him vanish from sight and reappear a hundred feet away.
bù guò cǐ shí cǐ kè ， lín xuān nǎ yǒu xīn qíng chuǎi mó ， xiān xiǎng bàn fǎ ， huà jiě yǎn qián de wēi jī zài shuō ， xīn zhōng rú cǐ xiǎng zhe ， tā hún shēn jīng máng dà zuò ， jiān tóu wēi wēi yī dǒu ， xiàng zuǒ kuà chū yī bù ， jiù zhè me yí gè wēi xiǎo de dòng zuò ， kàn shàng qù háo bù qǐ yǎn ， rán ér lín xuān què cóng yuán dì xiāo shī bú jiàn ， zài chū xiàn shí hòu ， yǐ zài zuǒ cè bǎi zhàng zhī yuǎn 。
不过此时此刻，林轩哪有心情揣摩，先想办法，化解眼前的危机再说，心中如此想着，他浑身精芒大做，肩头微微一抖，向左跨出一步，就这么一个微小的动作，看上去毫不起眼，然而林轩却从原地消失不见，再出现时候，已在左侧百丈之远。
Whizzing sounds filled his ears; numerous black arrows had passed through the spot where Lin Xuan stood just now. If he had reacted even half a second slower, he would have been pierced like a sieve.
sōu sōu zhī shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， què shì shù yǐ bǎi jì de hēi sè nǔ jiàn cóng lín xuān gāng cái zhàn lì zhī dì huá guò ， rú guǒ tā fǎn yìng shāo màn yī bù ， rú jīn kǒng pà yǐ jīng biàn chéng shāi zi le 。
嗖嗖之声传入耳朵，却是数以百计的黑sè弩箭从林轩刚才站立之地划过，如果他反应稍慢一步，如今恐怕已经变成筛子了。
The demon’s face showed regret. This kid was indeed much more troublesome than expected, but that mattered little. Such a good opportunity lay before him; no matter how stubborn Lin Xuan might be, he wouldn't let this slip away.
nà tiān wài mó tóu de liǎn shàng lù chū kě xī zhī sè， zhè xiǎo zi guǒ rán bǐ xiǎng xiàng de nán chán dé duō ， bù guò nà yòu rú hé ， zhè me hǎo de jī yuán bǎi zài shēn cè ， wú lùn rú hé ， tā yě bú huì fàng qì de 。
那天外魔头的脸上lù出可惜之sè，这小子果然比想象的难缠得多，不过那又如何，这么好的机缘摆在身侧，无论如何，他也不会放弃的。
Even if Lin Xuan were ten times as difficult to deal with, he would still kill him here and now.
jiù suàn lín xuān zài nán chán shí bèi ， tā yě yào jiāng qí miè shā zài cǐ chù 。
就算林轩再难缠十倍，他也要将其灭杀在此处。
The mortal saint body was incredibly attractive to him.
fán rén shèng tǐ ， zhè duì tā lái shuō ， kě shì yōng yǒu wú qióng de xī yǐn lì 。
凡人圣体，这对他来说，可是拥有无穷的吸引力。
With greedy and violent eyes, Su Yunfeng waved his hands. Instantly, boundless demonic energy surged out of his body, indicating that this demon intended to use a powerful spell.
yǎn zhōng shǎn guò tān lán yǔ lì qì ， zhǐ jiàn sū yún fēng shuāng shǒu yī wǔ ， dùn shí ， wú biān de mó qì ， cóng tā de shēn tǐ lǐ fēng yōng ér chū ， xiǎn rán cǐ mó ， yào shǐ yòng shén me dà wēi lì de fǎ shù 。
眼中闪过贪婪与戾气，只见苏云峰双手一舞，顿时，无边的魔气，从他的身体里蜂拥而出，显然此魔，要使用什么大威力的法术。
Lin Xuan's pupils constricted, but he immediately shouted in shock: "Friend, what do you mean by this? You were just agreeing to reconcile; why are you suddenly going back on your word?"
lín xuān tóng kǒng wēi suō ， dàn jǐn jiē zhe què chēng mù dà hē ：“ dào yǒu zhè shì hé yì ， míng míng yào wò shǒu yán hé ， wèi shén me tū rán chū ěr fǎn ěr ne ？”
林轩瞳孔微缩，但紧接着却瞠目大喝：“道友这是何意，明明要握手言和，为什么突然出尔反尔呢？”
"Ha ha, we can still shake hands and make peace if you hand over your physical body. I will swear an oath that I'll let your essence soul leave safely without breaking my promise."
“ hēi hēi ， yào wò shǒu yán hé yě kě yǐ ， zhǐ yào nǐ jiāo chū ròu qū ， běn zūn kě yǐ fā xià dú shì ， fàng nǐ de yuán yīng píng ān lí qù ， jué bú huì shí yán dì 。”
“嘿嘿，要握手言和也可以，只要你交出肉躯，本尊可以发下毒誓，放你的元婴平安离去，绝不会食言地。”
Su Yunfeng's movements slowed down as he laughed coldly. However, his tone was surprisingly sincere.
sū yún fēng dòng zuò yī huǎn ， lěng xiào de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， rán ér yǔ qì jū rán chōng mǎn le chéng kěn zhī sè。
苏云峰动作一缓，冷笑的声音传入耳朵，然而语气居然充满了诚恳之sè。
Lin Xuan was taken aback.
lín xuān yǒu xiē è rán le 。
林轩有些愕然了。
A mortal saint body—was it really referring to me?
fán rén shèng tǐ ， zhēn shì zhǐ zì jǐ me ？
凡人圣体，真是指自己么？
Wasn't this a mistake?
yǒu méi yǒu gǎo cuò 。
有没有搞错。
He knew his situation best.
zì jǐ de qíng kuàng ， zì jǐ zuì qīng chǔ 。
自己的情况，自己最清楚。
If one were to solely consider his cultivation potential, Lin Xuan wasn’t anything special; he was simply an ordinary waste of space. When he first embarked on the path of cultivation, he didn't even have a spirit root. Later, in the Mo Yue Clan, he obtained secret treasures and refined a wooden nature spirit root.
lín xuān xīn zhōng yǒu shù ， ruò shì guāng lùn xiū xiān zī zhì dì huà ， zì jǐ nǎ shì shén me gǒu pì shèng tǐ le ， nǎi shì shí dǎ shí de fèi cái yí gè 。
林轩心中有数，若是光论修仙资质的话，自己哪是什么狗屁圣体了，乃是实打实的废材一个。
He had endured countless hardships and dangers, but the spirit root he extracted could only be considered mediocre at best; it was far inferior to mutated spirit roots, let alone saintly or divine spirit roots.
dāng chū tà shàng xiū xiān zhī lù de shí hòu ， lián líng gēn yě wú ， hòu lái zài mò yuè zú huò dé le mì chuán de bǎo wù ， jiāng mù shǔ xìng de líng gēn tí liàn chū 。
当初踏上修仙之路的时候，连灵根也无，后来在墨月族获得了秘传的宝物，将木属xìng的灵根提炼出。
Lin Xuan's cultivation potential never stood out. His achievements today were purely due to hard work and a bit of luck.
qí jiān fèi jǐn le xīn kǔ bō zhé ， wēi xiǎn gèng shì bù yòng yán shù ， rán ér píng xīn lái shuō ， tí liàn chū lái de líng gēn yě méi yǒu shén me liǎo de ， mǎn dǎ mǎn suàn yě bù guò zhōng děng shuǐ zhǔn bà le ， lián biàn yì líng gēn dōu yuǎn yuǎn bù rú ， gèng bú yào shuō pì měi shèng líng gēn ， shèn zhì chuán shuō zhōng xiān líng gēn de xiū shì le 。
其间费尽了辛苦bō折，危险更是不用言述，然而平心来说，提炼出来的灵根也没有什么了得，满打满算也不过中等水准罢了，连变异灵根都远远不如，更不要说媲美圣灵根，甚至传说中仙灵根的修士了。
His nature was incredibly resilient, and his pursuit of the Dao was no less than anyone else’s. Of course, the greatest credit went to the Blue Star Sea; without that stroke of luck, Lin Xuan might not have even reached the Foundation Establishment stage, let alone become a revered powerhouse today.
lín xuān de zī zhì ， xiàng lái méi yǒu shén me chū zhòng zhī chù ， néng yǒu jīn rì de chéng jiù chún shǔ nǔ lì jiā qiǎo hé 。
林轩的资质，向来没有什么出众之处，能有今日的成就纯属努力加巧合。
The Blue Star Sea had made an indelible contribution.
tā de xìng gé jiān yì wú bǐ ， xiàng dào zhī xīn gèng shì bù bǐ rèn hé rén xùn sè， dāng rán ， zuì dà de gōng chén mò guò yú lán sè xīng hǎi le ， ruò bú shì jī yuán qiǎo hé ， lín xuān dé dào le zhè kě yǐ tí chún dān yào de nì tiān zhī wù ， néng fǒu zhù jī dōu shì wèi zhī zhī shù ， gèng bú yào shuō ， rú jīn yǐ chéng wéi lìng rén jìng yǎng de dà néng xiū xiān zhě 。
他的xìng格坚毅无比，向道之心更是不比任何人逊sè，当然，最大的功臣莫过于蓝sè星海了，若不是机缘巧合，林轩得到了这可以提纯丹药的逆天之物，能否筑基都是未知之数，更不要说，如今已成为令人敬仰的大能修仙者。
But this had nothing to do with his cultivation potential. Lin Xuan knew he was a waste of space and would never believe it if someone claimed he possessed a saint body.
lán sè xīng hǎi gōng bù kě méi 。
蓝sè星海功不可没。
Had they mistaken him?
ér zhè zhōng jiān ， yǔ tā de zī zhì kě yǐ shuō guān xì quán wú ， lín xuān zì wèn shì fèi cái yí gè ， ruò shì zì jǐ yōng yǒu shén me shèng tǐ dǎ sǐ tā yě bú huì xiāng xìn de 。
而这中间，与他的资质可以说关系全无，林轩自问是废材一个，若是自己拥有什么圣体打死他也不会相信的。
If such a misunderstanding led to their deaths, that would be too costly.
duì fāng gāi bú huì rèn cuò le ？
对方该不会认错了？
Therefore, for both reason and emotion, Lin Xuan needed to clarify the situation. Although he wasn't afraid of fighting, there should be a reason for life or death.
ruò shì yīn wèi zhè yàng de wū lóng pīn gè nǐ sǐ wǒ huó ， nà shí zài shì tài bù huá suàn le 。
若是因为这样的乌龙拼个你死我活，那实在是太不划算了。
"Why do you want my physical body? You just took over his body and praised it highly earlier."
suǒ yǐ ， yú qíng yú lǐ ， lín xuān dōu yào wèn qīng chǔ ， tā suī rán bù wèi jù zhēng dòu ， dàn fēn qiáng ruò shēng sǐ zǒng yīng gāi yǒu yí gè lǐ yóu 。
所以，于情于理，林轩都要问清楚，他虽然不畏惧争斗，但分强弱生死总应该有一个理由。
Lin Xuan's frowning voice echoed in his ears; at this moment, he was genuinely curious.
“ gé xià yào lín mǒu de ròu qū zuò shén me ， nǐ bú shì yǐ jīng duó shě ， gāng cái hái jí lì chēng zàn bù cuò ？”
“阁下要林某的肉躯做什么，你不是已经夺舍，刚才还极力称赞不错？”
"Your words are correct," the demon from beyond the heavens didn't refute him. "This young fellow has become a heavenly dao martial artist despite being so young, and his physical condition is indeed excellent for me. However, there is always a comparison. Compared to your mortal saint body, he's nothing but trash."
lín xuān zhòu méi de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， tā xīn zhōng shì zhēn de chōng mǎn le hào qí zhī sè。
林轩皱眉的声音传入耳朵，此时此刻，他心中是真的充满了好奇之sè。
"Mortal saint body."
“ nǐ suǒ yán bù cuò 。”
“你所言不错。”
Lin Xuan revealed a bitter smile: "Are you mistaken? To be honest, my cultivation potential isn't particularly outstanding; it’s extremely ordinary."
nà tiān wài mó tóu jū rán bìng wèi fǎn bó ：“ zhè xiǎo jiā huo nián jì qīng qīng jiù néng chéng wéi tiān dào wǔ zhě ， ròu shēn de tiáo jiàn duì běn mó jūn lái shuō què rán jí wéi bù cuò ， rán ér fán shì dōu shì yǒu bǐ jiào de ， tā ruò shì yǔ nǐ yōng yǒu de fán rén shèng tǐ xiāng bǐ ， nà jiù gēn běn shì lā jī ， háo bù zú dào de 。”
那天外魔头居然并未反驳：“这小家伙年纪轻轻就能成为天道武者，肉身的条件对本魔君来说确然极为不错，然而凡事都是有比较的，他若是与你拥有的凡人圣体相比，那就根本是垃圾，毫不足道的。”
Lin Xuan didn’t want to fight this opponent to the death, so reluctantly, he revealed some of his secrets.
“ fán rén shèng tǐ 。”
“凡人圣体。”
But what followed was even more shocking. The demon's next words made Lin Xuan’s face turn a deep shade of gloom.
lín xuān zuǐ jiǎo biān lù chū jǐ fēn kǔ xiào zhī sè：“ gé xià shì bú shì gǎo cuò le ， shí bù xiāng mán ， lín mǒu xiū xiān de zī zhì kě méi yǒu shén me chū zhòng zhī chù ， shí zài shì pǔ tōng dào le jí diǎn 。”
林轩嘴角边lù出几分苦笑之sè：“阁下是不是搞错了，实不相瞒，林某修仙的资质可没有什么出众之处，实在是普通到了极点。”
"Hmph, ordinary? Don't put gold on your face; your original potential was worthless and you didn’t have any spirit root..."
lín xuān shí zài bù xiǎng yǔ zhè me yí gè duì shǒu shēng sǐ xiāng bó ， wú nài zhī xià yě tòu lù zì jǐ de yì diǎn mì mì le 。
林轩实在不想与这么一个对手生死相搏，无奈之下也透lù自己的一点秘密了。
"Uh... how do you know that?"
nǎ zhī dào duì fāng jiē xià lái de huà yǔ què ràng tā dà jīng shī sè：“ hēng ， pǔ pǔ tōng tōng ， bié zài zì jǐ de liǎn shàng tiē jīn le ， nǐ yuán xiān de zī zhì gēn běn jiù shì fèi wù ， lián líng gēn yě wú ……”
哪知道对方接下来的话语却让他大惊失sè：“哼，普普通通，别在自己的脸上贴金了，你原先的资质根本就是废物，连灵根也无……”
Lin Xuan was stunned, greatly shocked. His secret had been uncovered just by the demon's divine consciousness sweeping over him. Could it be possible to probe one’s spirit root potential through such a method?
“ è …… nǐ zěn me zhī dào de ？”
“呃……你怎么知道的？”
Such things were unheard of in the cultivation world; even old monsters at the Tribulation Transcending Stage couldn't claim to do so.
lín xuān chēng mù jié shé ， dà wèi zhèn jīng ， zì jǐ de mì mì jū rán huì bèi kàn pò ， duì fāng jǐn jǐn shì yòng shén shí sǎo guò ， jiù néng chá tàn chū zì jǐ de líng gēn zī zhì me ？
林轩瞠目结舌，大为震惊，自己的秘密居然会被看破，对方仅仅是用神识扫过，就能查探出自己的灵根资质么？
Lin Xuan’s mind raced, but before he could decide on his next move, the demon's voice echoed again.
zhè zhǒng shì qíng zài xiū xiān jiè shì wén suǒ wèi wén de ， jiù suàn shì dù jié qī lǎo guài wù ， yě jué méi yǒu néng gòu bàn dào yī shuō 。
这种事情在修仙界是闻所未闻的，就算是渡劫期老怪物，也绝没有能够办到一说。
And this time, what was said made Lin Xuan’s face turn an even deeper shade of gloom.
lín xuān nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou jí zhuǎn ， hái méi yǒu què dìng hǎo yīng gāi zěn me bàn ， duì fāng de shēng yīn ， yǐ jīng zài yí cì chuán rù le ěr biān 。
林轩脑海中念头急转，还没有确定好应该怎么办，对方的声音，已经再一次传入了耳边。
"When you first embarked on cultivation, your spirit root should have been completely nonexistent. However, your martial arts potential is quite good. Of course, that has no help in cultivation; originally, a person like you would find it very difficult to reach the Foundation Establishment stage. But for some reason, through sheer luck, you obtained a treasure and refined your spirit root. Well, spirit roots are innate things, and there aren’t many things that can generate them later on. Your luck is indeed good."!
His words barely finished when he released his divine consciousness to confirm once more. Lin Xuan's cultivation was only at the Spirit Dividing Stage, and the lower his strength, the stranger and more mysterious he found it. This was one of the reasons why he chose to reconcile with Lin Xuan.
However, heaven knew what happened next; this inspection revealed something amiss, causing the two who were about to turn swords into plowshares to stir up a huge storm again.
This unexpected change was exactly what Lin Xuan had not anticipated just now.
As his opponent's divine consciousness swept over him, at first, Lin Xuan didn't pay much attention. But soon, he sensed that this divine consciousness was different from usual; it contained a mysterious force within.

Unfortunately, it was too late.
His opponent's voice filled with surprise and joy echoed in his ears: "A mortal saint body! You actually possess a mortal saint body? Haha, heaven is indeed generous to me..."
Before he could finish speaking, an extremely fierce expression appeared on his face.
No, more than ferocity was greed. In Lin Xuan’s eyes, he had already transformed into a priceless treasure.

Lin Xuan's pupils constricted, but he immediately shouted in shock: "Friend, what do you mean by this? You were just agreeing to reconcile; why are you suddenly going back on your word?"
"Ha ha, we can still shake hands and make peace if you hand over your physical body. I will swear an oath that I'll let your essence soul leave safely without breaking my promise."
Su Yunfeng's movements slowed down as he laughed coldly. However, his tone was surprisingly sincere.
Lin Xuan was taken aback.

Such things were unheard of in the cultivation world; even old monsters at the Tribulation Transcending Stage couldn't claim to do so.
Lin Xuan’s mind raced, but before he could decide on his next move, the demon's voice echoed again.
And this time, what was said made Lin Xuan’s face turn an even deeper shade of gloom.
"When you first embarked on cultivation, your spirit root should have been completely nonexistent. However, your martial arts potential is quite good. Of course, that has no help in cultivation; originally, a person like you would find it very difficult to reach the Foundation Establishment stage. But for some reason, through sheer luck, you obtained a treasure and refined your spirit root. Well, spirit roots are innate things, and there aren’t many things that can generate them later on. Your luck is indeed good."!
