Chapter 1635: Chapter 1655: She Spent the Night There!_1

"Your answer moved me, how could I be angry?"

Gu Yuexi’s face turned bright red. She never expected that Lin Chen would be there while she was speaking.

She was dying of embarrassment.

At the same time, she felt a hint of happiness deep inside.

Wasn’t this her confession to her brother?

And he heard it!

Lin Chen didn’t tease her anymore, and laughed, "So, how’s your strength level now?"

Gu Yuexi answered, "Early True Immortal Stage!"

Lin Chen was pleasantly surprised and laughed, "Your strength is improving quite swiftly."

Gu Yuexi nodded, "As a wood spirit body and having practiced the core technique of the Divine Wood Palace, the Ten Thousand Divine Wood Sutra, coupled with the sect resources for cultivation, my strength level improved swiftly. Hence, I was chosen by the Palace Master to be a True Inheritance Disciple and nurtured carefully."

Lin Chen was relieved, "Seeing that both you and Jia Xue are important to the sect, I feel relieved."

Gu Yuexi nodded, "Unfortunately, we three are divided across three continents and can’t be together."

Lin Chen laughed, "Aren’t I here already? As disciples, you might be more bound by the rules of the sect, but I am senior. Even the Sect Master has to call me Junior Martial Uncle. Sect rules don’t apply to me. I can visit you and accompany you anytime."

Gu Yuexi’s eyes sparkled, "You’re always so remarkable, just like when you were in Nanyue Hengshan, and now in the White Crane Immortal Sect!"

Lin Chen laughed heartily, "I must be remarkable, or else wouldn’t I lose to the likes of Li Wentong?"

Gu Yuexi gave a sidelong glance to Lin Chen, "He is not a patch on you. He didn’t pursue me because I am pretty, but because I have a wood spirit body. If nothing unexpected happens, I will definitely surpass him."

Lin Chen winked, "This plot sounds familiar."

Yuexi smiled elegantly, "Didn’t my sister and I have similar experiences at Cang Mountain and Penglai? Now, it’s just a new cycle."

Lin Chen laughed, "Can you handle it?"

Gu Yuexi responded, "As a True Inheritance Disciple of the Palace Master, naturally no one can force me. Besides, aren’t you here, Brother?"

Though Gu Yuexi strived hard to keep from being a burden to Lin Chen like before, she never felt it was inappropriate to rely on him.

What’s wrong with relying on her own man?

In the evening, Lin Chen and Gu Yuexi came out of the room. A lavish dinner was prepared by Fang Wubing’s handmaid.

The three enjoyed their meal and the conversation turned towards the topic of special spirit roots.

Lin Chen asked, "There are so many special spirit roots in the Immortal Realm, but from what I know, there don’t seem to be that many. Why is that?"

Fang Wubing answered, "There are indeed many special spirit roots, but there are too many powerful forces. After everyone scrambles, it doesn’t seem to be many."

"Furthermore, having a special spirit root only indicates that they are more suited to certain attribute techniques on the cultivation path. It does not necessarily mean that they can reach high levels."

"Yuexi’s wood spirit body, although theoretically may not match some other special spirit roots, for the Divine Wood Palace, it’s the best fit. Practicing the Ten Thousand Divine Wood Sutra, others might be in the comprehension stage, but she might reach a higher level of mastery."

"In battle, when casting wood attribute spells, the power of her magic is possibly doubled compared to others, despite using the same amount of magical power. This is the advantage of the special spirit body and the reason why they can easily break through boundaries in battle."

Lin Chen looked back and asked, "Yue Yue, how many special spirit roots does your Divine Wood Palace have?"

Gu Yuexi replied, "Rumor has it that there are five. There are two wood spirit bodies, one is the Palace Master, and one is me. One elder has a Pure Yin real body, another Elder has a mutated dual spirit root of wood and water, and then there’s Li Wentong. He accidentally merged a trace of an ancient war soul, reluctantly considered as half an ancient battle body..."

Fang Wubing laughed, "Calling him half would be overestimating him. He can only be considered a pseudo-special spirit root. Compared with a real ancient battle body, it falls far short."

Pausing for a moment, Fang Wubing looked at Lin Chen, "You have Sword Bones. Formed artificially, it can only be considered a Pseudo-Sword Spirit Body. However, you constantly encounter extraordinary events. You kept tempering and enhancing the power of your sword bones to the point that now, it’s practically a real Sword Spirit Body."

Lin Chen laughed, "I don’t possess much talent. I just have better luck."

Fang Wubing snorted, "Your luck is more than just a little bit good. In fact, even the best talents can’t compete with someone who has good luck. When luck comes around, no one can stop it. The Son of Luck is the most formidable existence in the path of cultivation!"

The banquet ended in merriment for all three.

Naturally, Gu Yuexi didn’t leave and stayed in Lin Chen’s room.

Though it seemed like a normal occurrence, to some people watching in secret, it was anything but.

"Brother Li, Gu Yuexi entered the Guest Building where the Son of Duobao Daodao resided last night and remained there all night. She’s still there..."

Li Wentong’s face changed drastically. He abruptly stood up, "Let’s go!"
