Chapter 2244 - The Frog at the Bottom of the Well

Chapter 2244 The Frog at the Bottom of the Well

You did right.
Duan Ling Tian expressed his agreement with Ke’er’s thought.
No matter how heaven-defying his daughter’s innate talent was, he did not want his daughter to start cultivating at an age too young and lose her happy childhood. A person only had one childhood in their life. Once gone, it would never come back. With that said, he was still extremely shocked by his daughter’s Innate Spiritual Root.
I’ve been so curious about the next grade of Innate Spiritual Roots after the dark violet Innate Spiritual Roots, who knew the answer lay in my daughter’s body all along!’ It took a while for Duan Ling Tian to recover from his shock.
Previously, after he had successfully improved his Innate Spiritual Root to a dark violet one, he had always been curious about the next grade. He could not wait to improve his dark violet Innate Spiritual Root. Finally, his question was answered.
The next grade of Innate Spiritual Roots above dark violet ones were black ones. Black Innate Spiritual Roots were the highest grade of Innate Spiritual Roots.
Never in Duan Ling Tian’s wildest dreams would he think that the Innate Spiritual Root he had longed for night and day would be possessed by his daughter!


This revelation had opened a new door for Duan Ling Tian. He finally had a clear target.

Black Innate Spiritual Root… Black Innate Spiritual Root… I finally have a clear target!

Since Si Ling possessed the highest grade of Innate Spiritual Root which is the black one, it’s meaningless for me to improve her Innate Spiritual Root. For now, I’ll just help Gan Ru Yan improve her Innate Spiritual Root.’ As soon as Duan Ling Tian thought about this, he began to prepare to improve her Innate Spiritual Root.
Naturally, Duan Ling Tian would have to ask Gan Ru Yan first. After all, she was not like his daughter, Si Ling, who had yet to have a cultivation base. She had not developed her Divine Consciousness yet, so she would not feel anything even when he extended his Divine Consciousness into her.
Gan Ru Yan, on the other hand, was different. Her cultivation base was at least at the Saint Celestial Stage. If he abruptly extended his Divine Consciousness into her body, she would definitely put up a struggle.

I plan to improve your Innate Spiritual Root,
Duan Ling Tian said to Gan Ru Yan bluntly.

Improve my Innate Spiritual Root?
Gan Ru Yan was stunned when she heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. She was confused.
What do you mean? What do you mean by improving my Innate Spiritual Root? How can one improve one’s Innate Spiritual Root?


I heard that you possess an indigo Innate Spiritual Root. I’m confident I can improve your Innate Spiritual Root to a violet one within a month!

Duan Ling Tian was not surprised by Gan Ru Yan’s reaction. It was only natural for most people to react in such a way.
Gan Ru Yan was so baffled that she remained speechless for a while. He only needed a month to improve her Innate Spiritual Root to a violet one?


Duan Ling Tian’s words continued to resonate in Gan Ru Yan’s ears, shocking her. She could not help but feel skeptical.
Gan Ru Yan took a deep breath to calm herself down. She looked at Duan Ling Tian and asked skeptically,
You… Are you joking? Can you really improve Innate Spiritual Roots?

Although Gan Ru Yan thought it was impossible to improve her Innate Spiritual Root, when she saw the solemn expression on his face, she almost believed him. However, there was a slightly doubtful expression on her face.
Duan Ling Tian scoffed coldly when faced with Gan Ru Yan’s skepticism. He said,
You can forget it if you’re not interested.
If it was not for the fact that he felt Gan Ru Yan treated Ke’er and his daughter quite well, and that Ke’er had some affections toward her, he would not have offered to improve her Innate Spiritual Root! Now that she doubted him, it was only natural that he no longer felt like helping her.
You…Gan Ru Yan flew into a slight rage out embarrassment when she saw Duan Ling Tian’s attitude toward her. It was completely different from how he treated her sister.

Sister, Brother Tian won’t deceive you,
Ke’er chimed in at this moment.
Naturally, Gan Ru Yan did not doubt her sister’s words. For this reason, she believed Duan Ling Tian could really improve her Innate Spiritual Root. She began to feel waves of excitement.
H-he can really help people improve their Innate Spiritual Roots? Is he even human?’ Gan Ru Yan’s heart was in turmoil.
When Gan Ru Yan regained her senses, she looked at Duan Ling Tian anxiously,
Who said that I’m not interested? You said you’re going to improve my Innate Spiritual Root. Even Ke’er heard you. You can’t go back on your words.
Currently, she was afraid he would refuse. If he really refused, it would mean she had lost the chance to improve her Innate Spiritual Root.
Was there anyone who did not want a violet Innate Spiritual Root?



Brother Tian, help sister improve her Innate Spiritual Root, please,
Ke’er said to Duan Ling Tian.
Since Ke’er had personally made a request, Duan Ling Tian who had wanted to make things difficult for Gan Ru Yan dismissed that thought.
Since Ke’er has spoken, I won’t be calculative with you.


Thank you, Brother Tian!
Ke’er flashed a sweet smile upon hearing his words.
Upon seeing this, Gan Ru Yan looked at Ke’er with a look of gratitude in her eyes. At the same time, there was also a hint of envy and dejection in the depths of her eyes. She and her sister looked identical, but the man’s treatment of them was poles apart. Although she did not feel it was wrong for him to treat his sister so well, she could not help the envy and complicated emotion that assaulted her.
In the next few days, Duan Ling Tian kept his word and improved Gan Ru Yan’s Innate Spiritual Root. It completely dispersed her doubts, but she could not help but feel baffled. As it turned out, there was someone who could improve Innate Spiritual Roots. Although she had believed her sister’s words before this, now that she was personally witnessing it, she was shocked.

There’s actually such technique in this world?
It took a long time for Gan Ru Yan to return to her senses. After a while, she asked,
Can you also improve your own Innate Spiritual Root?


Yes,
Duan Ling Tian replied with a nod. He was neither cold nor friendly.
Upon hearing this, bitterness and dejection rose in Gan Ru Yan’s heart. At the same time, she dismissed her idea of asking more about this matter.
Since Gan Ru Yan already possessed an indigo Innate Spiritual Root, it was not difficult to improve it to violet Innate Spiritual Root.
In less than a month, Duan Ling Tian successfully improved Gan Ru Yan’s Innate Spiritual Root to a violet one.



How fast!
Now that Gan Ru Yan possessed a violet Innate Spiritual Root, she tried to sense and absorb the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy. She discovered the speed of her detecting and absorbing Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy were completely unlike before. It had gotten several times faster!
If I’m still in the Fire Worship Sect in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land, with my current innate talent, my cultivation would definitely progress at a tremendous speed!’ Gan Ru Yan thought to herself.

It can still be improved?
When Gan Ru Yan noticed that Duan Ling Tian continued to devour the Innate Spiritual Roots of Devils to improve her already violet Innate Spiritual Root, she was bewildered.
The violet Innate Spiritual Roots were not the limit?
Duan Ling Tian scoffed.
Even the violet Innate Spiritual Roots have several grades… Your violet Innate Spiritual Root is only light violet. It’s also the weakest violet Innate Spiritual Root,
Duan Ling Tian replied lazily.
For the next month or so, Gan Ru Yan felt as though she was a frog living at the bottom of a well! When her Innate Spiritual Root turned dark violet, she also discovered that her cultivation speed had been raised more than tenfolds compared to when her Innate Spiritual Root was only light violet.
What did this mean?

N-No wonder his cultivation speed is so heaven-defying!
At this time, Gan Ru Yan finally realized why Duan Ling Tian’s cultivation speed was so fast. With such an Innate Spiritual Root, how could it not be fast?
However, Gan Ru Yan was unaware that Duan Ling Tian’s cultivation speed was so fast when he was in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land was not completely due to his Innate Spiritual Root. It was because he had the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.
If Duan Ling Tian had a dark violet Innate Spiritual Root at that time, with the help of the time flow on the fourth floor of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, his cultivation base would have broken through to the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage if not the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.



If I’m still in the Fire Worship Sect in the Upper Province, apart from you and Ke’er, who else would be a match for me with this highest grade Innate Spiritual Root?
Gan Ru Yan mused excitedly.
The highest grade?
Upon hearing Gan Ru Yan’s words, Duan Ling Tian shook his head. However, he did not offer an explanation.

What do you mean? Don’t tell me the Innate Spiritual Root I currently possess is not the highest grade?
Gan Ru Yan asked with a frown.
