Ye Wushuang walked along the path inside Tianxuan Academy with Luo Qingxian holding his hand, his expression somewhat unnatural.
To put it bluntly, in his previous life he was just an ordinary college student who had barely been in a few relationships. Suddenly being in contact with a woman as beautiful as a celestial being, he inevitably felt a bit constrained. Especially since Luo Qingxian's temperament was extremely aloof and her expression bland, remaining completely silent the entire way.
Still, he figured that through spending time together in the future, he would gradually get used to it.
Luo Qingxian walked very slowly, as if taking a stroll, though perhaps she only slowed her pace because she was holding his hand. However, why didn't she just take him flying? Well, this woman had a bit of an ethereal quality about her that was impossible to see through.
The interior of Tianxuan Academy was vast, and the two walked like this for a long time before finally arriving at the foot of a low mountain surrounded by woods.
Upon entering the woods, a ripple appeared before them, resembling the slight waves on the surface of a calm lake.
"Master, what is this?" Ye Wushuang looked up and asked curiously.
"This is an illusion array I set up to conceal our dwelling and prevent outsiders from disturbing us," Luo Qingxian explained patiently.
Ye Wushuang nodded. Hearing Luo Qingxian refer to herself as "Master" still felt a bit awkward.
After walking a short distance further, a wooden cabin came into Ye Wushuang's view. This must be where Luo Qingxian practiced in seclusion.
The two entered the wooden cabin. It was neither large nor small, without separate bedrooms or a living room. The decor was simple, consisting only of a bed, a table with chairs, and a few meditation cushions.
They sat facing each other on the cushions.
"Regarding your talent, Master needs to tell you the true situation."
Once seated, Luo Qingxian spoke first.
Ye Wushuang immediately straightened his posture. This was the matter he cared about most and felt most puzzled by. Earlier, when his Heaven-grade Top-tier Spiritual Vein was measured, although Luo Qingxian had been slightly surprised, she remained very calm. But after she checked his body, the shock in her eyes could not be concealed; she had clearly discovered something.
Ye Wushuang suddenly spoke up, interrupting her: "Master, can you please stop referring to yourself as 'Master'?"
"Oh?" Luo Qingxian's face showed confusion. "Why is that?"
With a headache-inducing expression, Ye Wushuang regretted speaking the moment the words left his mouth. What kind of bizarre move was this on his part? Fortunately, he was still just a child, so Luo Qingxian wouldn't overthink it. He put on an earnest expression and said, "Because Master is so young and beautiful, calling yourself 'Master' gives people a feeling of... well, being quite advanced in age."
Luo Qingxian gave a helpless smile. "Cultivators in the Three Days Realm and above can retain their youth forever. Appearance alone cannot be used to judge age. Besides, by your logic, since you call me Master, wouldn't that make me look even older?"
Luo Qingxian shook her head slightly, unbothered, and continued, "You should know that a person's spiritual vein aptitude is divided into four grades: Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Huang, with each grade further divided into upper, middle, and lower tiers, making a total of twelve ranks. However, for a 'person', there is actually an upper limit to natural talent. For instance, the Heaven-grade spiritual vein is a threshold. People whose aptitude can cross this threshold often possess traits different from ordinary people, inherently possessing a certain special talent, which can also be called possessing a certain special physique. Special physiques are often named after their abilities, such as the 'Water Spirit Body' or the 'Wind-Thunder Profound Body'."
To her disciple—a six-year-old child—Luo Qingxian explained things very meticulously.
Ye Wushuang nodded to show he understood. "Does Master think my talent is too high and that I possess some kind of special physique?"
Luo Qingxian nodded slightly. "That's right, so Master... I checked just now to see what kind of physique you have. As a result, it far exceeded my expectations..."
Ye Wushuang asked with some curiosity, "Is my physique very powerful?"
Judging by the shocked look Luo Qingxian had worn earlier, it was impossible for his physique to be weak, right?
"That's right, your physique is extremely powerful!" Luo Qingxian affirmed.
"Then what is my physique called? What special abilities does it have?" Ye Wushuang pursued the question with delight.
Instead of answering directly, Luo Qingxian continued her explanation, "I just told you about special physiques. While special physiques are extremely rare in any given place or era, the Tiangan Continent is vast and boundless, and its history is so ancient that it cannot be traced. Even if only a few types of special physiques appear in any single era, over the long river of time, the types of special physiques are as numerous as the stars. Among the numerous special physiques, there are a few that are the most powerful, even exceeding the scope of 'Heaven-grade Spiritual Veins'! The world calls them the 'Top Ten Sacred Bodies'! Of course, ten is a figurative number; how many sacred bodies there actually are is long lost to history. Perhaps there aren't ten, perhaps there are more than ten—either is possible."
At this point, Luo Qingxian paused, then looked at Ye Wushuang and said earnestly, "Yet your physique is one I have never heard of nor seen before. It is as pure as a newborn baby, like a blank sheet of paper. It seems to possess no special abilities at all, yet it also seems to possess the capacity to encompass all things; whatever painting you draw on this paper, it will acquire that corresponding ability. Moreover, I can be certain that your spiritual vein aptitude is definitely not just Heaven-grade Top-tier—it is even stronger than a Sacred Body. If I really had to describe it, I think a rather fitting term would be: Heaven-Bestowed Divine Body!"
Holy crap!
Wasn't this getting intensely exciting?!
Ye Wushuang's emotions surged and stirred, turning burning hot with joy. Who wouldn't want to be special, to be the protagonist? Of course Ye Wushuang had thought about it! Furthermore, he was a transmigrator to begin with! This was already something that couldn't be explained by ordinary logic!
After being excited for a good while, Ye Wushuang's mood finally calmed down gradually. He suddenly thought of something and asked, "Master, how are you certain that my physique is even more formidable than the Top Ten Sacred Bodies? Could it be that you've seen some kind of Sacred Body before?"
Luo Qingxian's expression remained calm as she answered indifferently, "Because my physique is one of the Top Ten Sacred Bodies—the Immortal Spirit Sacred Body."
Her tone was calm and waveless, as if she were stating a trivial, insignificant matter.
Hiss!
Ye Wushuang's heart skipped a beat. Didn't they say there were hardly any Sacred Bodies since antiquity? How did one pop up right in front of him the very next second?!
This was undoubtedly holding a script for the female lead of a grand epic!
No wonder she dared to take him on as her disciple!
Ye Wushuang actually wanted to ask how old Luo Qingxian was, but he didn't dare.
Luo Qingxian had no idea what was going through Ye Wushuang's mind. After explaining the matter of his physique, she gently waved her hand, and two jade slips enveloped in light floated into mid-air.
"There are two cultivation methods here. You will need to choose one for yourself."
