Chapter 14 – Joining Heavenly Lightning Peak
Silence fell as Li Guanqi picked his spirit root. Lu Kangnian had used an impressive technique to shroud him with an earth-yellow shield made of vital force.
The shield shut out the noisy surroundings and concealed him from the people outside.
Everyone was curious about which spirit root this inhuman prodigy would select.
The Heavenly Metal Peak’s elder, Meng Linhai, coughed and laughed. “Sect Leader, doesn’t the thing strapped to his back look like a large sword box? We are the Daxia Sword Sect, after all. In my opinion, the boy will surely choose the Metal Spirit Root.”
The other peak masters and elders exchanged glances but held their tongues. They couldn’t rebuke him even if they wanted to.
Lu Kangnian replied with an insincere smile, “You’re speaking like you can see what he’s doing now.”
“What if... Cough cough. What if he picks Earth?”
The Heavenly Lightning Peak’s second elder, Xu Zhengjie, pursed his lips and muttered, “Aiya~ There’s no way he’s going to pick Earth... If he picks Earth, I’m eating three jin of Renzhong Huang.[1]”
Lu Kangnian had sharp senses, so he heard Xu Zhengjie’s muttering. Staring directly at Xu Zhengjie with gritted teeth, he used voice transmission and said, “Good! Very good! You shall be responsible for finishing up all the Renzhong Huang in Heavenly Pillar Peak this month!”
Xu Zhengjie’s face fell in utter horror.
Suddenly, the wind howled and the clouds whirled. Thick storm clouds now obscured the once-colorful sky, and soon after, rain began to fall.
