Chapter 192 Heavenly Spiritual Roots (Fake)
Fang Chen and his incarnation shared the same mind. Whatever one of them did, the other knew it very well. How could he not know what Lin Qingshan was talking about?
"The incarnation has to use the spirit stones to buy some mortal slaves to help develop Ghost Island. It just so happens that I have to come back, so he didn't explain it to you in detail."

After speaking to comfort Lin Qingshan, Fang Chen also explained the whole story.

Of course, after all, he was in front of the little girl, so he did not mention that his incarnation had seen strange souls in other people.

We can discuss this privately when the time comes.

"So that's how it is. But since the price of those ten boys and girls is not expensive, why doesn't the city lord buy them all?"

Lin Qingshan raised this question because he didn't understand the full picture of the matter.

"The incarnation has enough financial resources, but that would only make him a target of public criticism. Moreover, these boys and girls were bought by people from the righteous sects. Although they are not necessarily good people, these boys and girls should not be in danger of their lives in the short term."

Fang Chen had no choice but to find a reasonable excuse to prevaricate.

Lin Qingshan did not have any doubts. After understanding the whole story, he turned his attention to the mute girl.

This was also the first time he had observed her carefully.

Her messy, dishevelled hair looked a little dry and yellow due to lack of nutrition. A few strands of hair hung in front of her forehead. Through the gaps between her hair, one could see her clear eyes, which were now filled with anxiety and confusion.

The clothes were brand new, but they were obviously adult men's clothes and were very loose on the body.

There is no doubt that it must be the clothes carried by the incarnation.

"Since it's being auctioned at the market, why not buy her a suitable set of clothes? And there's no need to rush to send her back. You can wait until you've redeemed the mortal slaves before leaving the Magic Market."

Seeing her dressed like this, Lin Qingshan raised another question.

"I didn't think too much about it at the time. I just wanted to send her back as soon as possible. Now that things have come to this, there is no need to pursue these things. Let's have someone take her to wash up and change into new clothes."

With this mute girl here, Fang Chen couldn't explain many things, so he could only send her away first.

"Okay then, I'll call Lingyu over."

Lin Qingshan also thought it made sense and took out the jade slip to call for help.

"It is indeed more appropriate to let her come."

Fang Chen nodded. He also had an impression of this Lingyu. Her full name was Chu Lingyu. She was one of Lin Qingshan’s nine disciples and was considered his eldest senior sister.

There are differences between men and women, so it is most appropriate to let her take care of the mute girl.

After a while, Chu Lingyu came.

"Meet the city lord, Master."

After paying respect to the two of them, he noticed the mute girl hiding behind Lin Qingshan and asked, "Master, the girl you asked me to take care of is her, right?"

After seeing the two nod, she immediately squatted down and asked the mute girl, "Hello, I'm Chu Lingyu, just call me Sister Lingyu. Can you tell me your name, Sister Lingyu?"

"Ah-"

The mute girl opened her mouth and wanted to speak, but could only make humming sounds.

Chu Lingyu also immediately noticed that a large section of her tongue had been cut off.

"City Lord, Master, what's going on?"

Lin Qingshan did not explain these situations in the Zi Yu Jian, so Chu Lingyu asked directly.

Fang Chen briefly recounted the incident.

"So that's how it is. That group of demon cultivators is really hateful. City Lord, we must avenge this sister."

After hearing this, Chu Lingyu gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, wishing he could fight the demon cultivator for three hundred rounds right now.

"It's only a matter of time. She is one of the lucky ones. There are tens of millions of people who have died because of the demon cultivators. The Immortal Dynasty will seek justice for them sooner or later, but not now. Only when each of us grows up to be able to fight against the demon cultivators, can justice come. Otherwise, we can only become one of those tens of millions of people."

Fang Chen also wanted to do this, not only the evil cultivators, but also those righteous immortal sects that had nothing to do with human affairs.

The key is that we don’t have enough strength now, so we can only bide our time.

"I understand. I will work hard to practice."

Chu Lingyu didn't get angry either. She nodded heavily and left with the mute girl.

"Let's go, there are some things we can talk about in private."

After the two of them walked away, Fang Chen called Lin Qingshan to go to the top floor.

Seeing him like this, Lin Qingshan knew that the matter was serious, and followed him with a serious expression.

"So there is such a thing. Is Lingyu very dangerous?"

After listening to Fang Chen's story about his discovery at the auction, Lin Qingshan finally figured everything out and immediately became concerned about the safety of his disciple.

"That's not the case. I took the photo of her just to make sure she was normal. I suspect the demon cultivator has big plans, and the key to breaking the deadlock lies in this child."

Fang Chen shook his head. Even if his incarnation had made a mistake and there was indeed something wrong with this mute girl, he could not do anything to Chu Lingyu.

Lin Qingshan had already made improvements to the protective formation of Yuehua Fairy City. Anyone who possessed the Zi Yu Slip would be attacked by the protective formation even if they were attacked inside the formation.

Unless someone can destroy the entire formation with one strike.

If such an enemy really came to Yuehua Fairy City, there would be no need to worry about Chu Lingyu's safety, because no one could escape.

Lin Qingshan was the type who was too concerned and confused. When it came to his own disciples, he forgot about the security he had personally built in Yuehua Immortal City. "That's true."

After being comforted by Fang Chen, Lin Qingshan calmed down. Knowing that his disciples would be fine, he sighed again and said, "Alas, they are all poor people who were used by the demon cultivators."

When he said this, he also had some emotion about his past.

"I suspect that these boys and girls with natural spiritual roots were created by the Blood Demon Palace using the Blood Devouring Divine Art. Don't they have the means to plunder spiritual roots? It shouldn't be difficult to implant spiritual roots in them."

This was what Fang Chen wanted to talk to Lin Qingshan about. The other party once worked under a direct disciple of the Blood Demon Palace and knew something about the Blood Demon Palace.

Fang Chen wanted to hear his opinion.

"It is very likely that the true disciple often boasts that the Blood Demon Palace is at the forefront of the cultivation world in terms of spiritual roots research, and no cultivator can compare to them. Moreover, this is not as simple as just implanting spiritual roots, but at least includes the means of mass-cultivating natural spiritual roots."

Lin Qingshan expressed his strong agreement with Fang Chen's inference and added some details.

"Mass cultivation of spiritual roots?"

Fang Chen also muttered to himself. So far, he had only seen two kinds of spiritual roots.

The five elements spiritual roots and Ye Qingyang's wind spiritual roots.

Furthermore, even if new characteristics are bestowed, the name of the spiritual root does not change.

"Is the city lord capable of doing this?"

Lin Qingshan tested cautiously.

Although many people in Yuehua Fairy City could roughly guess Fang Chen's abilities, he was still not sure whether the other party would be willing to be mentioned by others.

Fortunately, Fang Chen didn't care. He just shook his head slightly as a response.

The ability of spiritual roots is not reflected in characteristics, which makes his abilities useless.

As Fang Chen fell silent, the entire top floor fell into an eerie silence.

Until a knock on the door woke up the two people inside.

"咚咚-"

"come in."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Lingyu walked in with the mute girl.

At this time, the mute girl changed into a new set of clothes. Although it still didn't fit her well, it was much better than the previous one. She also combed her hair into a single ponytail.

The uneasiness in his eyes disappeared, but the confusion was still there, but it had faded a lot.

From time to time, he glanced at Chu Lingyu, and could read a hint of attachment in her eyes.

"City Lord, Master, I have already prepared a bath for Sister Lingyu."

Bringing the mute girl in front of the two men, Chu Lingyu reported his mission.

"Sister Lingyu?"

Fang Chen and Lin Qingshan looked at each other, and Fang Chen asked the question.

"She couldn't tell her own name, so I took her in as my sister and named her Chu Lingyu, and she liked it."

While Chu Lingyu was speaking, Chu Lingyu was standing beside her, nodding her little head vigorously.

"Very good, then I will leave her to you to take care of her in the future, how about that? Of course, you will receive an additional contribution subsidy until she can live independently."

Seeing that the two of them got along so well, Fang Chen also made a decision.

"No problem, even if I can't contribute, I will take good care of her!"

Chu Lingyu agreed immediately.

"Well, Lingyu, come here for a moment, let me carefully examine your spiritual roots."

Nodding approvingly to Chu Lingyu, Fang Chen waved to her and asked her to come closer to him.

Perhaps because of her trust in her incarnation, Chu Lingyu had no resistance to Fang Chen and walked in front of him.

Fang Chen released his spiritual consciousness and probed into her body.

Her spiritual root is in her dantian.

The incarnation had already figured this out.

However, only the original body can obtain the information about the spiritual roots.
