Chapter 95: Terrifying Talent, Wanting to Cry but No Tears
“Such a healing smile.”
Mo Ying was also snatching food, but her movements were clean and efficient, exuding the unique style and charm of a sword cultivator. Her gaze casually drifted and noticed Yan Ruyu’s smile, inexplicably finding her mood much improved.
“Ru Yu, aren’t you eating?” Jia Yulan had already eaten, so she didn’t snatch any food.
Yan Ruyu looked at her fellow disciples devouring their food and shook her head, pointing to a bowl of water on the table, “I just need to drink water.”
Long Tianxing immediately looked up, “Is she that easy to satisfy?”
Ye Feng gently slapped Long Tianxing on the head and said, “It must be water that contains spiritual energy, because Ru Yu has a special physique, which is quite different from the rest of you.”
“A special physique?”
The disciples’ food-scooping motions stiffened.
Ye Feng looked at everyone and felt that Yan Ruyu’s identity as a “nursing mother” could not be hidden. Moreover, the disciples all deserved to be trusted, so he said,
“Ru Yu’s physique is very special; she can cultivate spiritual medicine and heal injuries, needing only to replenish spiritual energy to be brimming with vitality, completely unlike you all.”
Hearing about the talent of “spirit medicine cultivation,” Jia Yulan immediately revealed a proud smile.
After all, Yan Ruyu was the talent she had discovered!
The other disciples’ focus was all on the “healing” ability, and when they looked at Yan Ruyu again, they found her even more appealing to the eye.
“A healing talent has great significance!”
“What should this type of cultivator be called?”
The disciples, no longer caring about their meals, started discussing among themselves.
Ye Feng coughed and said, “Cultivators like Ru Yu, who can heal and cultivate, we can call her… a nursing mother!”
“A nursing mother?”
The disciples looked at each other in bewilderment.
The naive-minded Yan Ruyu, seeing the expressions of the others, grew curious and blinked her eyes, asking, “Wasn’t I called Yan Ruyu? Why am I called a nursing mother now?”
“Nursing mother is your nickname. For example, my name is Ye Feng, and my nickname is the Sect Leader of Misty Sect, and I’m also your Sect Leader.” Ye Feng explained.
Through the System’s prompt, Ye Feng knew that Yan Ruyu’s mental maturity was temporarily akin to a child’s, but because she possessed a Life Spirit Body, she was very intelligent, had a strong ability to accept new things, and was growing rapidly.
“Oh!”
Yan Ruyu nodded her head, indicating she understood.
“Alright, continue with your meal.”
Ye Feng quickly dumped a whole plate of food into his bowl, instantly causing an “uproar” among the disciples, leading to a new round of the food-snatching battle.
After the meal, Ye Feng turned the guest room next to Ouyang Yu’s into Yan Ruyu’s room and brought her new clothes.
After bathing and changing clothes, Yan Ruyu looked even more gentle and tranquil, exuding an aura akin to the warmth of an early spring.
When Yan Ruyu went to the backyard, Brother Flathead immediately stood up, his eyes devoid of the passion for fighting. Instead, he sniffed her scent and started running around joyfully, as if expressing his happiness.
“This Blue Lotus is so beautiful!”
Yan Ruyu approached the Spiritual Spring, placed her hands on the Purifying Green Lotus, and released soft glows downwards.
The Purifying Green Lotus grew at a speed visible to the naked eye, quickly sprouting a thumb-sized flower bud at the top.
But Yan Ruyu also felt dizzy from the excessive consumption, and Jia Yulan immediately supported her, feeding her a lot of Spirit Spring Water until she recovered.
“Although Ru Yu is a Spiritual Body, she has not yet formally embarked on the path of cultivation and therefore has little Life Spirit Force in her body, which cannot withstand too much consumption.” Ye Feng came over and said, “Let her get used to this place, then she can formally start her cultivation journey.”
“Sect Master Uncle, how is Ru Yu’s root bone?” Jia Yulan asked curiously.
“Upper Grade root bone. Since she has a Spiritual Body, her cultivation speed will be enhanced, faster than any of you.” Ye Feng said.
The disciples, upon hearing this, all revealed looks of astonishment.
“It seems I too must diligently cultivate, or one day even the wet nurse will catch up to me.” Long Tianxing’s breath hitched, and he promptly sat cross-legged beside the Spiritual Spring, gradually entering the state of cultivation.
The other disciples did the same.
Watching them cultivate so earnestly, Ye Feng felt gratified.
Ever since the Misty Sect had its Spirit Vein, the concentration of Spiritual Energy around the Spiritual Spring was tenfold higher, and even without using Cultivation Qi Pills, the speed of cultivation would be much faster.
“Sect Leader, I want to cultivate too,” Yan Ruyu declared, noticing the disciples arranging themselves in a circle around the Spiritual Spring, kindling a strong interest within her.
“No hurry,” Ye Feng shook his head.
“But, I think cultivating is fun,” Yan Ruyu said, pointing at the others. “I see colorful clouds of light flowing into their bodies, like streams, and I want to try it too.”
“Fun?” Ye Feng almost toppled over.
He was not surprised that Yan Ruyu could see Spiritual Energy, after all, she was a Life Spirit Body, naturally close to Spiritual Energy.
Such people are what one might call geniuses.
“Alright then, I’ll teach you how to cultivate,” Ye Feng took out the Basic Cultivation Technique “Five Qi Dynasty Yuan”, preparing to explain it to Yan Ruyu.
“Oh, I think I know how to cultivate.”
Yan Ruyu merely glanced at the meridian circulation chart from “Five Qi Dynasty Yuan” and sat down cross-legged, maintaining a pose with her five hearts pointing to heaven, and immediately, Spiritual Energy began surging towards her, forming a vortex around her.
“This talent, is it cheating!”
When Ye Feng looked at her with Spirit Eyes, he saw that Yan Ruyu’s speed of absorbing Spiritual Energy was the sum of the other ten disciples’ speeds combined, and he was instantly amazed.
Before long, Yan Ruyu had broken through to the first layer of Qi Refinement.
She opened her eyes and joyfully said to Ye Feng, “Sect Leader, cultivating is really fun. I found that when those colorful clouds flow inside my body, I feel much lighter.”
“Awesome!”
Ye Feng wanted to cry but had no tears.
Why was it that every disciple he picked up was so strong, while he himself couldn’t cultivate at all due to the Dog System?
“Am I really to remain a mortal forever?” Ye Feng sighed, quietly standing to one side to protect the disciples while familiarizing himself with the power of Heroic Spirit.
The next morning, at dawn.
Ye Feng stood by the Spiritual Spring, having not slept all night.
He watched, wide-eyed, as Yan Ruyu went from the first level of Qi Refinement to the fifth, too astonished to sleep.
When the disciples finished their cultivation one after another, they were all dumbfounded to find that Yan Ruyu had already reached the fifth level of Qi Refinement and were at a loss for words.
In comparison, their cultivation speed was like that of a turtle!
“Perhaps that’s what a genius is!” The least skilled cultivators, Ouyang Yu and Ouyang Feng, wanted to cry without tears.
They had already been at the peak of the fourth layer of Qi Refinement, and with the help of the Spirit Eyes, they had just managed to break through to the fifth level this morning.
However, Yan Ruyu had caught up with them after just one night of cultivation!
“Cough cough, as the Sect Leader has said, Ru Yu is a Spiritual Body with an Upper Grade root bone; her cultivation speed is very fast. You’ll get used to it, and there’s no need for sorrow and sadness, to save you the trouble of feeling this way every day,” Ye Feng explained.
Xia He and Qiu Ju, whose cultivation levels were among the lowest, felt a bitter taste in their mouth upon hearing these words.
Seeing the disciples had finished their cultivation, Ye Feng looked at the rising sun and his expression suddenly turned solemn. He said:
“Today is the day our Misty Sect will add higher ranks. In a while, quite a few people should come over. After breakfast, get ready, and clean up the peak top thoroughly.”
“The disciples obey the command!”
Everyone quickly bowed with their fists and said so.
