“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.
