Chapter 109.1: Xiao Hei
“Waiting for me?” Xiao Hei didn’t recognize the Daoist in front of him but felt an inexplicable closeness.
“Yes, I'm here especially for you. What is your name?” The Daoist asked gently.
“My name is Xiao Hei, but my proper name is Cheng Nian.” Xiao Hei was a little embarrassed. He couldn’t help but feel that ‘Xiao Hei’ was a little substandard and shouldn’t let the Daoist hear it.
However, the Daoist smiled and recited it softly, “Cheng Nian.”
His voice sounded very pleasant and Xiao Hei relaxed subconsciously.
Then, the Daoist handed a translucent stone to Xiao Hei. “Hold this spiritual testing stone in your hand. I want to see the potential of your spiritual root.”
Xiao Hei resisted in his heart and wanted to give up on himself while saying ‘I’m the worst five-element spiritual root’, but he met the clear pupils of the Daoist and saw the kindness in them, so he stretched out his hands as if bewitched.
The testing stone was cool to the touch and Xiao Hei's heart suddenly softened as if it had been soothed.
After a while, he spread out his palms. The original transparent stone turned into five colors, and Xiao Hei lowered his head in embarrassment.
