Reborn As A Dragon Girl With A System-Novel

Chapter 594 - Testing For A Spirit Root

"Haha. I came here before the others. And got lucky on a few missions. So I was able to scrape together enough funds to get a few places in the city. Although I really had to skimp by in order to do it and the places I got were quite small. But they were for these guys so they could make their way to the city." Yi Tan explained.

"Senior Brother Yi worked very hard for our sake. At one point, we had to force him to eat because he was not even eating in order to provide for us." Mei Ling chimed in. This caused Yi Tan's cheeks and ears to redden.

Kana smiled and rubbed Mei Ling's head as she teased. "Then you need to make sure you grow up fast and marry him."

Mei Ling's face turned bright red. She lowered her head, taking bashful peeks at Yi Tan. Shi Yu and Liu Na both laughed, seeing the little girl's reaction. Yi Tan coughed dryly as he said: "We're here."

Towering gates stood before them. The stone gates were so tall that you could only see over them. At the side was a small hut where an old man sat sipping on tea. "You returned?"

"Elder Di." Yi Tan cupped his fist and bowed slightly. "We got revenge for our sect mates."

"MM… Good. You all can go in, but the girl here can not enter." The old man said as he looked at Kana. He was a little surprised to see a demonic beast race here. But he could tell the young woman was trash. Not even the slightest fluctuation of spiritual qi in her body. He did not say such things out loud, though, because he was not someone who looked down on others. It was just the academy's rules that stated outsiders could not enter.

"Ah! Yeah, I actually need to have Elder Ning come and check Kana's spiritual root. Is there any chance you can contact him?" Yi Tan asked. He knew this elder well and was easy to get along with compared to most.

"Oh? Checking her spiritual root?" Elder Di was slightly surprised he did not think the girl needed to be tested at her age. He was starting to wonder what family would not test their young. "One second, I will have Elder Ning bring down the testing stone."

"Thank you!" Yi tan once again cupped his fist and bowed.

Not long later, Elder Ning, a whited haired old man, landed in front of the group. In his hand was a black stone. "Little Tan, is she the one?" Elder Ning asked. He had a good relationship with Yi Tan and had been watching over him.

"Yes, Elder Ning." Yi Tan replied.

"Hmm…" Elder Ning walked over to Kana and scanned her up and down. Kana as if this old man was looking right through her. His gaze seemed to hold an unfathomable amount of power and wisdom. Kana knew right away if she were to ever fight with this old man that she would end up dying almost instantly. "You are very strange for a divine beast. No cultivation at all, not even a core. Very strange indeed. The only good thing about you, from what I can see, is your physique is very good."

Elder Ning nodded his head a few times before holding out the black stone. "Anyway, let's see if we can fix that and give you a chance to be able to make a name for yourself. Place your hand on this stone."

Kana nodded and did as she was told. As soon as she did, she felt a warm energy enter her body through her hand that flowed down her arm and into her chest before flowing all the way down to the pit of her stomach. As soon as that wave of energy reached her lower abdomen, the black stone began to shine as an image of what looked like two small vines intertwined with one another appeared. One was pure black, while the other was pure white. At its base were five more smaller vines growing up along the large black and white ones. They were of many different colors, red, blue, brown, yellow, and golden. Kana knew right away that they were her current elements.

But as the spiritual root appeared, it seemed everyone was looking at her strangely. "Ummm? Is something wrong?"

"Ahem… No… I was just stunned. Normally one would only have a single element, but here you are with seven in total. This is very surprising. You also have what is called the yin yang spiritual root, which is a rare spiritual root. Little girl you truly need to begin cultivating as soon as possible. I will give you the means to begin your cultivation. It's just you will need to hit the qi gathering realm in order to join our sect. If you do, I will pull some strings and bring out a proper cultivation method for you. The Moon Crest Academy will surely not treat you badly."

Kana smiled and internally sighed in relief. She was actually able to cultivate, which was her biggest hurdle. "Then I will need to thank Elder Ning for your kindness."

"Don't worry about it. As an elder of the Moon Crest Academy, I will not hesitate to help someone who has a bright future. As the sect has its own rules, I can not break them. But I can still assist. Little Tan, you have a few places in the city so let her stay there. I will also give you extra resources to give to this little girl here each month. I will also stop by every so often to offer guidance. Sadly I do not know how demonic beasts form their cores, so this is something I can not help with otherwise, you could dual cultivate. Which would make you twice as powerful." Elder Ning looked apologetic on his lack of knowledge.

"Elder Ning, I may be able to get this information." Elder Di spoke up… He was watching it all from the side.
