On the morning of the second day, the moment Yu Yan returned to the house, he was pestered by his stupid disciple.
“Master, I want to restore my human form, I want to restore my human form! Roar~~ ┗|`o′|┛”
Yu Yan lifted his hand, and made it convenient for his stupid disciple to crawl onto his shoulder.
“Your current situation is unclear, it’s inappropriate for you to restore your spiritual energy too quickly.”
“If I’m slow, it will be too late.” Zhu Yao glanced at him with an inconvenienced look. Who could be sure that he wouldn’t bring back a few more little junior-martial sisters, or little, little junior-martial sisters, or even little, little, little junior martial sisters.
“Actually, it’s possible for Lord to restore your spiritual energy now.” Sesame suddenly popped out, shrank itself to about Zhu Yao’s size, and looked at the dragon-formed Zhu Yao with sparkling eyes. With a single leap, it jumped onto the stone table. Then, it bounced about, as though it was trying to crawl onto Yu Yan’s shoulder as well, in order to approach Zhu Yao. However, with a single stare by Yu Yan, it was stopped from doing so.
“What do you mean?” Zhu Yao asked.
“Lord is of the dragon-race.” Sesame said with an envious look. “The bodies of dragons are innately strong and sturdy, and even if a problem were to occur during the advancement process, their bodies can completely endure it.”
So the dragon-race had such a benefit as well. Zhu Yao instantly looked at her master with sparkling eyes.
Help me, help me, help me!
Yu Yan sighed. After pondering for a moment, he agreed. Bringing his disciple back to the bottom of the cold training lake, he renewed the reinforcement of the formation under the lake, casually threw Sesame out, and then, took out a few purple lightning bolts.
“You can first try absorbing a part of the lightning spiritual energy. If you experience any anomaly, do not force yourself.”
Zhu Yao nodded, closed her eyes, and began sensing the lightning spiritual energy. The moment she willed it, she felt a warm streamflow passing through the depths of her heart. There was now an additional strand of familiar spiritual energy, however, the amount of spiritual energy was pitifully small. It had only stayed in the Dantian for a short while, before disappearing completely.
While that purple lightning bolt which her master had taken out, had already disappeared.
“Master, the spiritual energy, disappeared.” Zhu Yao a little stunned. Dumbfoundedly, she raised her head. This sort of situation had never happened before, in the past, when she absorbed spiritual energy, they would always stay inside her body. However, the moment she absorbed them this time, they actually disappeared in a flash.
Yu Yan frowned. “Your Dantian is unable to store spiritual energy?”
Zhu Yao nodded.
Yu Yan’s expression instantly turned exceptionally ugly. If her Dantian could not store spiritual energy, it was clearly a sign where her Spiritual Vein was destroyed. However, she could clearly still absorb the lightning spiritual energy, and her cultivation was at the Demigod-stage as well. So, why?
“Other than not being able to store spiritual energy, are there any anomalies with your body?”
Zhu Yao focused and sensed for a moment. “No!” Other than being a little hungry, there was no other problem she was aware of.
“Try again!” Yu Yan said.
Zhu Yao obediently closed her eyes again. The bolt of lightning outside, was instantly absorbed by her. However, just like before, the moment that strand of spiritual energy entered her body, it instantly disappeared without a trace. Zhu Yao felt like crying. Could it be that she had to be a finger-sized dragon her entire life?
“What to do?”
Yu Yan was unable to come up with the reason as well. In the beginning, he was worried that, since she had just entered the Demigod-stage, if she was unable to stop taking in spiritual energy, it might bring about a spiritual energy outbreak. It was better this way, she wasn’t even able to store her spiritual energy, let alone cause a spiritual energy outbreak.
“Let’s return first.” Yu Yan opened his palm, hinting her to crawl onto his own palm. “Your master will think of another way.”
Zhu Yao glanced at his palm, she didn’t why, but she once again recalled that little junior-martial sister she saw last night, and the depth of her heart was flooded with sorrow. Currently, she did not have a human form, and there wasn’t hope for her to restore her cultivation either. As expected, it would save some worry for her master if he were to look for another disciple.
She knew that she was partly the blame for it, but she just could not control herself. She needed to calm down for a while.
Hence, she did not climb onto his palm, instead, she turned her head away and moved her claws to the side, as she began to crawl back the route they came from on her own.
Yu Yan was startled for a moment. He did not say anything, and silently followed her at the back.
