Chapter 66: Tell Me The Truth

"Yin-Yang spiritual roots you say?" Elder Lin placed down the cup she was holding on the table before her and looked at Le Fang Ling who had come to meet her early in the morning.

"Yes, I tried searching the books in the library but I did not find anything that could give me idea about the so called yin-yang spiritual roots." Le Fang ling showed a dejected expression as she sat before Elder Lin.

"So, I want you to help me learn a few things about it, Elder Lin." Le Fang Ling placed both of her hands in front of her and gave a polite bow.

Elder Lin did not say anything as she silently continued to observe the girl in front of her.

'Clear skin than the last time I saw her, increased spiritual flow in the meridians and also a better presence over all.' Elder Lin was sure that after waking up, Le Fang Ling must have started to cultivate.

But such a visible result the very next day…Elder Lin was invested in this matter more than the question itself. Le Fang Ling had a unique body that made it impossible to properly cultivate.

There was also the matter regarding the pervert who lived inside her sea of consciousness, a different dimension.

'Cough..' Elder Lin secretly coughed when she thought about the perverse lady who was flirty and touchy with her all the time she was there.

"So girl, tell me. Did you try to cultivate?" Elder Lin asked her to confirm if what she speculated about the girl was true or not. She hoped her skills had not gone rusty after all this time, and with the infection that was spreading in her vessels.

"Yes, elder Lin. I have you to thank for this but there is a tiny problem I encountered when I was cultivating." Le fang ling sighed in dejection once again.

"I have broken through the first realm and am currently in the realm between the Qi absorption realm and Body enhancement realm." Le Fang ling started to tell about the root of her problem. She and Nagina tried to come with the solution for it but both lacked the proper knowledge about it.

So there she was, asking assistant from Elder Lin since she was the only one who was higher and senior enough for her to trust.

Nagina and her came to the conclusion that all of it had to do with the fact that her constitution was yin-yang constitution and spiritual roots was five elemental spiritual roots and of course, by every means it was bound to be hard to her.

Nevertheless, the fact that she broke through a single realm in one day was a great feat for someone who had never cultivated before.

"So tell me what seems to be the problem." Elder Lin had never gotten this kind of exciting case in the past so she was excited about listening to her problem.

In other words, she was simply a maniac doctor whose hands were itching to do something and she got the perfect case to solve.

"….", Le Fang Ling could clearly see the excitement in elder Lin's eyes even though she tried to hide it.

'I really hope she is not the typical mad scientist type of doctor.' Le Fang Ling tried to control her impulse to bail on Elder Lin.

"I think it has to do something with my spiritual roots and constitutions." Le Fang Ling decided to answer her question nevertheless.

"I think I understand that it comes from the fact my spiritual roots in five element based spiritual roots but as for the constituent I am not sure." Le Fang ling looked at Nagina who was silently sleeping on the cushion beside her.

"So you are saying the fact you cannot cultivate properly is due to your spiritual root huh?" She looked at Le Fang Ling with even an increased amount of interest.

Since, she had sealed away all of her spiritual energy the last time, they were unable to asses any of her talents and roots but now that everything was back to normal, and Elder Lin looked forward to knowing about it.

"Hmm there is one thing that I am curious about." Elder Lin narrowed her eyes as she looked at Le fang Ling.

"Y-Yes, please go ahead." Le Fang Ling agreed with her.

"Little girl, tell me this, why do you ask about yin-yang spiritual roots and why do you know about it?" Elder Lin was curious about the fact that she knew about yin-Yang spiritual roots.

"And one more question." She interrupted Le Fang ling since she could not hold her curiosity in anymore.

"How do you know your spiritual roots and body constituent when you did not even take the test in the afternoon last day?" Elder Lin pointed out the main mystery of the day.

"…..", Uh oh! Le Fang ling had the feeling that she just got out of the fire pan and in to the fire.

As if hearing what Elder Lin asked, Nagina who was sleeping soundly suddenly raised up her head and looked at Le Fang Ling's face and Elder Lin's face simultaneously.

'What are we gonna say to her? That I have a mysterious system that can help me have things done in time of pinch situation?' Le Fang ling asked the question telepathically to Nagina who also was lost in thought for a while.

They could not risk getting found out by anyone about their real identity. They were the rare imposters in this world of cultivation and they were going to have to take it to their grave for the rest of life.

"I think it's better to tell her the truth." Nagina answered after thinking for a while.

"No, wait, I have a better idea. Let me handle this host. You just stay behind and enjoy the show with me." Nagina wiggled her tail as she looked at the surprised face of Le Fang Ling.

'Alright, I leave it to you my little ancestor.' She took a deep breath and looked at Nagina with a cheer up expression on her face.

'I got your back, partner.' Nagina winked back at her with a slight hissing sound.

Elder Lin who could clearly see the secret interaction they were having: "…."

"Cough.." She cleared her throat and tried to get the attention of both smol and young people before her.

"I think it will be better if you come out clean altogether with me." Elder Lin decided to save them the trouble of having to wreck their brain with some kind of weird excuses.

She had seen the secret that lived in Le Fang Ling's sea on consciousness which she doubted even Le Fang Ling herself was unaware of.

Knowing the existence of Lilith, one of the oldest general who gave the sinister aura of the formless was probably the biggest secret she had learnt this year.

And truthfully, although she hated formless to the marrow of her bone, she did not feel that repulsed by the fact that she came in physical contact with a formless and also a human who carried half of the formless essence.

This was a greater finding for her so she was sure nothing could surprise her more than this. Plus, she already knew that Nagina was not a typical magical beast that could be found randomly on the courtyard of a house.

She felt different and her existence itself felt out of proportion in this world. As a being who had ascended to the upper realm of Nascent realm , she could sense the existence of anything in the world, be it a living being or any unanimated objects.

The serpent beast before her who claimed to be the pet of Le Fangling was a half living and half non living creature. That was the least she could find out about the strange duo.

"Speak what you have to say." Elder Lin urged both Nagina and Le Fang ling to come clean with her. Only that way, she could help her to her full potential.

Nagina and Le Fang Ling looked at each other with a concerned look on their face.

"Elder Lin, I will go first then." Nagina moved to the shoulder of Le Fang ling and made herself comfortable there.

"Now we can see each other as we talk." Nagina nodded in satisfaction as she looked in to the eyes of Elder Lin with confidence.

"As you already know, I am not just a low level beast." Nagina stared right at her without even showing a sign of hesitation.

"I know, so what does that got to do with you two knowing about the cultivation base?" Elder Lin bared out her question in front of her like a naked sword.

"That's because I have the ability to see the information of cultivation talent of people which gets more precise and accurate the more I use it."

"O.O" Elder Lin nodded her head when she heard the explanation for Nagina.

That more or less explained how they knew about it without taking the assessment test.

"So, you are the reason huh?" Elder Lin heaved out a sigh as she finally solved the mystery surrounding the little snake.

"Well, then tell me your real identity little snake girl. You are not something which just hatched out a snake egg, right?" Elder Lin gave a meaningful look to Nagina.

"About this Elder Lin, its' not the right time for us to tell you that." Le Fang ling added with a humble bow.

"Fine, I am not curious about it for the time being but.." Elder Lin pointed her fingers at her eyes and at them in a gesture which said, ' I am watching you two.'

"You are fine for now." She waved her hand in air and gave a listless look.

"I appreciate the understanding Elder Lin." Le Fang Ling thanked her happily as she was relieved to have gained approval from elder Lin.

"So.." Elder Lin pointed her paper fan at Le Fang ling and said with a suspicious look. They did all this talk only to forget the main agenda.

"By any chance do you have Yin-Yang constitution, huh?"
