: Preparations to Enter Seclusion
“Grandpa supports you.” Leng Qingtian was actually very happy and pleased to see his precious
granddaughter working so hard. One must know that while the Leng family only had a few people, they
had never been weak. He was just a tiny bit reluctant, as it had been a long time since he saw his
granddaughter.
“Xue’er, this is for you.” Leng Qingtian took out a storage ring and gave it to his granddaughter.
“There are medicinal herbs from when I robbed the palace this time, as well as various spiritual skills
collected by Grandpa over the years. However, other than the fire and wind elements, the others are
only at the elementary and intermediate levels.”
Alas, he didn’t expect their Leng family would have a little monster who had all the spiritual power
attributes. He was shocked when he tested Xue’er with the test crystal yesterday because her talent
was really too abnormal. Not only did she possess all the spiritual power attributes, but her affinity with
spiritual power was above the superior grade, and even her mental strength was above the superior
grade. He was dumbfounded at that time because it meant that the Leng family would have an
anomaly with all the important professions of spiritualist, alchemist, artificer, and beast trainer.
The Ling Feng Continent had a long history, but there had never been anyone with all four professions.
Perhaps it was because you could not have your cake and eat it too that spiritualists might not become
artificers, alchemists, or beast trainers, but these professions had to become spiritualists first.
Artificers and alchemists required fire-attribute spiritual power, while beast trainers required both affinity
with spirit beasts and mental strength to be at least at the superior grade. For a spiritualist, high mental
strength was undoubtedly beneficial, but the most important thing for a spiritualist was not mental
strength but spiritual power affinity.
The higher the affinity, the greater the future achievements. That was to say, even for a fire-attribute
spiritualist, if they did not have superior-grade spiritual power affinity and mental strength, it was
impossible for them to become an alchemist or artificer. And an alchemist or artificer with superior-
grade mental strength but not superior-grade spiritual power affinity could not become a powerful
spiritualist.
For anomalies with fire-attribute spiritual power and superior-grade affinity and mental strength, unless
they belonged to or were sheltered by certain top forces, the major forces would never allow them to
mature. After considering the situation, he immediately told Xue’er not to let anyone know her talent
before she had absolute strength.
Leng Ruoxue took the storage ring from her grandfather, which recognized her as its owner. Then she
made some preparations before entering seclusion. Before going into seclusion, she looked at Baby,
who was reluctant to part, a little helplessly.
“Baby, Big Sister is going into seclusion. You have to be obedient, okay?”
“Big Sister… you have to come out quickly. Baby will miss you!” Baby said with tears in his eyes.
“Ok, Grandpa, I’m going.”
“Xue’er, Grandpa will miss you too!” Leng Qingtian said quickly. How can a little beast steal the
attention of my darling granddaughter?
Leng Ruoxue didn’t expect her grandfather to actually compete with a little spirit beast. She couldn’t
help finding it a little funny, lessening the sadness of the brief separation a lot. After bidding farewell,
she walked toward the secret room.
Leng Ruoxue walked into the secret room and looked around. The room was very spacious and bright.
There were large night-illuminating pearls hanging on the walls and a spirit jade bed with a round
cushion on it placed against the middle of the back wall.
There was also an exquisite sandalwood table and a bookshelf on the left side of the bed filled with
books, most of which were related to cultivation. In each of the four corners of the room, there was a
stone pillar inlaid with spirit crystals of various colors, which were for gathering spiritual energy.
Grandpa said that an ancestor of the Leng family built this secret room. The spiritual energy inside is at
least twice as strong as outside. Such a room is one of the best even among top forces.
Leng Ruoxue sat cross-legged on the spirit jade bed. Spirit jade had the effect of gathering spiritual
energy, so she felt the abundance of spiritual energy as soon as she sat on the bed. But she didn’t
intend to start absorbing the spiritual energy immediately. Instead, she started reading first, and then
she took out the spiritual skills that her grandfather gave her and started cultivating.
Spiritual power attributes were divided into seven types: fire, wind, water, earth, wood, light, and
darkness. The spiritual power of each attribute had its own spiritual skills.
The levels of spiritual skills were divided into elementary, intermediate, advanced, and heavenly.
Spiritual Practitioners could cultivate elementary spiritual skills, and Spiritualists and Great Spiritualists
could cultivate intermediate spiritual skills. Only at the Spiritual Monarch stage could you cultivate
advanced spiritual skills.
Moreover, if you wanted to cultivate advanced spiritual skills of a certain attribute, you first had to
cultivate the elementary and intermediate levels of these spiritual skills. In addition, you had to cultivate
spiritual skills according to your own level step by step, from the elementary to the advanced level
without skipping.
For spiritualists, the importance of spiritual skills was self-evident. But elementary skills were not
difficult to learn. If someone awakened as a spiritualist, they only needed to go to the Spiritualist Guild
to obtain elementary skills for free.
If they wanted to learn intermediate spiritual skills, they could either buy them or go to an academy to
learn. But if they wanted to learn advanced spiritual skills, it was best to go to an academy. It was very
rare for them to be available on the market. Even if they were to buy one, it might not be suitable for
their attributes. As for heavenly spiritual skills, they were probably only available in the hands of the top
families and powerful spiritualists. They were absolutely priceless, and there was no market for them.
Her grandfather had given her elementary and intermediate spiritual skills of every element, and the fire
and wind elements had advanced and heavenly spiritual skills. It could be seen from this that the Leng
family’s background was very strong.
After Leng Ruoxue learned all the elementary spiritual skills, she started on the intermediate ones.
When she was tired, she would read and spend the rest of her time meditating and absorbing spiritual
energy.
Among all the elementary and intermediate spiritual skills, Leng Ruoxue’s favorites were the fire-
element Explosive Flames Art and the wood-element Restraint Technique.
Although they were only intermediate spiritual skills, they were very useful in combat. Explosive Flames
Art was an attack-type skill, while the Restraint Technique was an auxiliary skill. If she were to add on
the wind-element Quick Wind Art and used all three skills in battle, it would probably be bullying.
But she was likely the only one who thought this way because not everyone had all the spiritual power
attributes like her. Moreover, people with wood-attribute spiritual power were very rare, so the
possibility of someone using all three spiritual powers was really too low.
Leng Qingtian was sitting on a stone bench not far from the secret room. The stone table in front of him
was full of delicious food that he was enjoying with tea. But his eyes were on the little beast lying
motionlessly outside of the secret room. His precious granddaughter had given him a task, so he had to
protect this little thing related to his granddaughter’s life.
He didn’t want to place his granddaughter in any danger because of his negligence, so he didn’t dare to
let this little thing out of his sight. But there was one thing he could not understand. Since his
granddaughter was afraid that this little beast would be in danger, and this little beast refused to be too
far from Xue’er, why didn’t he enter the spirit beast space? Could it be that these two novices did not
know there was such a space? The more he thought about it, the more possible he felt his guess was.
