Chapter 419: Tushan Qing’s Generous Gift

"Spiritual Root? A Terrestrial Spiritual Root. Why?" Tushan Qing asked in confusion.

Huh? What was a Terrestrial Spiritual Root?

The original story had never mentioned it.

It had never even explained Tushan Qing’s specific Spiritual Root. Every time he appeared, the story only talked about his sexual preferences, abnormal personality, immense strength, and how terribly he tormented Xiao Ran.

Xiao Shou rubbed his head in confusion. "What exactly is a Terrestrial Spiritual Root? I only know about Spiritual Roots such as metal, wood, water, fire, earth, ice, wind, thunder, and other special Spiritual Roots. I’ve never heard of a Terrestrial Spiritual Root."

"Heh... The classification and terminology of the Tushan Clan’s Spiritual Roots are different from those of your Heaven Origin Realm."

"AnTerrestrial Spiritual Root is a Spiritual Root that contains all the attributes found upon the earth, including metal, wood, water, fire, earth, and even the attribute of time beneath the earth. It encompasses them all."

"A Celestial Spiritual Root, on the other hand, contains all the attributes of the sky. Celestial Spiritual Roots and Terrestrial Spiritual Roots are exclusive to the Tushan Clan or rather, there is only one such person in the entire Immortal Realm and the Three Thousand Worlds. Since you have never heard of it, there is no need to worry about it. It is simply an exception."

After hearing this, Tushan Qing smiled and explained through a voice transmission to Xiao Shou. What he did not mention was that before awakening and inheriting the bloodline of the Terrestrial Fox, he had only possessed the same Metal, Earth, and Wood Three Spiritual Roots as Xiao Shou.

Wow!

Thinking about it carefully, weren’t the attributes of a Terrestrial Spiritual Root quite similar to the physical aptitude Fu Young would have after completing the Ninety Nine Calamities Cycles Art?

No wonder Xiao Ran could never do anything against Tushan Qing. This aptitude was simply too incredible. It was practically the configuration of a top tier protagonist or the final great villain, the ultimate boss.

Sigh!

This was probably also why Tushan Qing could provoke Xiao Ran and still live freely until the very end.

However, because of this, Xiao Shou could no longer offer the reward he had originally intended to give.

After thinking about it, he simply took out the jade slips containing the Hidden Spirit Returning Soul Art and the Vitality Art. While presenting them to Tushan Qing, he said, "Thank you, Grandfather, for taking care of me so many times. These are my heartfelt gifts. Please accept them."

"Master really has a good mentality."

Seeing Xiao Shou exchange a glance with Tushan Qing before actually giving him the Hidden Spirit Returning Soul Art as well, Fu Young sighed and thought silently.

Forget it. Since Master did not give away the Ninety Nine Calamities Cycles Art, at least he had still kept some restraint.

He did not know that Xiao Shou had not deliberately held anything back because he did not want to give more.

In reality, Xiao Shou had wanted to give Tushan Qing something useful for him. But after discovering that Tushan Qing’s aptitude was already astonishing enough even without cultivating the Ninety Nine Calamities Cycles Art, and that Xiao Shou did not possess any cultivation technique specifically suited to a Terrestrial Spiritual Root, he could only abandon that idea.

He decided to find another way to repay the favor in the future.

For now, he gave Tushan Qing the Hidden Spirit Returning Soul Art and the Vitality Art.

Tushan Qing gave Fu Young a sympathetic look inwardly. He thought that for his precious grandson, whose personality was not particularly well suited to the cultivation world, to have survived safely until now, he must have received a great deal of help from the clever young man beside him.

Thinking this, he found Fu Young somewhat less irritating to look at.

As he thought, Tushan Qing accepted the jade slips and casually sensed their contents. A flash of surprise appeared in his eyes.

As expected of the next successor of the Terrestrial Fox lineage. His creativity was truly remarkable. He raised an eyebrow and said without the slightest hesitation, "These two cultivation techniques are very useful to me, so I’ll accept them. However, I’m even more interested in the sword technique you created yourself."

"Oh! Then I’ll show it to you." Xiao Shou then obediently offered up the sword technique he had created himself once again.

Sigh! He had already made it so obvious. There was no way Master could refuse to take it out.

It’s not Master’s fault that he has no ulterior motives.

Fu Young silently consoled himself.

Tushan Qing accepted the sword technique, then somehow produced another storage ring and casually tossed it to Xiao Shou.

"Take it for your spending money. Tell me when you run out!"

"Ah! Huh?!" Xiao Shou frantically caught it.

Now wasn’t this just making things worse? He had not even repaid his previous debt, and now he had already incurred another one.

He hurriedly tried to return the storage ring, but when he looked up, there was no sign of Tushan Qing anywhere.

He could not help turning toward Fu Young and asking, "Where did he go?"

"He threw down the ring and ran away," Fu Young said unhappily.

"No, he threw down the storage ring and left me behind too. I still wanted him to give me some guidance. Sigh~!" Yao Ming flew dejectedly over to Fu Young’s side.

Xiao Shou was speechless.

He then sensed the contents of the storage ring and was immediately shocked.

He had thought the gifts Tushan Qing had given him when they first met were already astonishing enough.

Who would have thought those had only been small gifts?

This one was truly outrageous.

It was actually a mid grade storage ring, and more than half of its space was packed with resources.

There were spirit jades of various grades, pills, metals, ores, materials of different attributes, spirit plants, and countless other items, all casually thrown inside without any particular order.
