“Host, your Five Elemental Heavenly Root is a perfect combination of the five elements of heaven and earth. These are the main energies that make up this world, so all other energies are derived from these five. As long as she can create a balance between these five main elemental energies, she will be able to control the various other types of energies inside of her.”
Lin Fan couldn’t help being surprised since this was his first time receiving such a long explanation from the system.
But at the same time, he was surprised that the system would suddenly give him an answer.
After all, the system would usually remain quiet until he needed it for something.
It almost never took the initiative to talk to him.
Still, he didn’t doubt the explanation that the system gave him since he knew that the system was much more powerful than he could imagine.
Since the system said that this was possible, it was most likely possible.
The only problem was that the system hadn’t told him how he could use his Five Elemental Heavenly Root to solve ‘Bi Qing’s’ problem.
As he was about to ask, Lin Fan couldn’t help feeling a bad premonition that made him stop.
He didn’t know what it was, but it felt like something bad was going to happen if he asked the system how he could help her…
But in the end, he had no choice but to ask since this was something that concerned their lives.
He didn’t know how long ‘Bi Qing’ was willing to wait, but he could tell that the protectors around her were getting impatient.
“So how do I help her?” Lin Fan asked in a slow voice.
The answer that the system gave him…made his chin drop and he was frozen there in shock.
It was as if he couldn’t believe the answer that he had just received, so he asked, “Are you sure about this?”
The system just replied with a simple, “Yes.”
The way that the system said this, it was as if it brokered no argument and there was no other choice.
But Lin Fan wouldn’t give up as he asked again, “Are you absolutely sure?” There was even a trace of desperation in his voice when he asked this because he really didn’t want to say what the system wanted him to say…
However, the system didn’t give him a choice in this matter as it continued telling him that there was no other way.
There were many different expressions that came to his face, but in the end, all he could do was reveal a bitter smile.
So in the end, Lin Fan had no choice but to take a deep breath before saying, “I have a way to solve it.”
Hearing this, ‘Bi Qing’ and her protectors all looked surprised. He couldn’t see the appearance of the protectors, but he could easily tell from their body language that they were also surprised.
‘Bi Qing’ paused for a moment before asking, “How?”
As she said this, the cloaked protectors all looked at Lin Fan with attentive appearances, as if they were waiting eagerly to hear what he had to say.
Lin Fan just revealed a bitter smile as he hesitated to speak.
He felt like the moment that he said this, it would result in his death…
But behind him, he could feel two hands that were holding onto his cloak. They weren’t pinching him like they had done before, but were gently holding his cloak, as if they were trying to give him encouragement.
With these two holding onto his cloak, Lin Fan took a deep breath again before saying, “I have something called the Five Elemental Heavenly Root and it’s something that allows me to control energy from the five major elements.”
After he said this, he waited to see what reaction ‘Bi Qing’ and her group had.
When they heard this, ‘Bi Qing’ looked at him with narrowed eyes as if she was checking something. But in addition to this, Lin Fan could also feel several gazes that were on him.
They should be the gazes of the cloaked protectors.
After they stared at him for a bit, they seemed to nod as if they were agreeing to this.
At least this meant that they knew what he was talking about, they knew what the Five Elemental Heavenly Root was.
Seeing this, Lin Fan continued, “This allows me to create a balance between the five major elemental energies and if I were to give someone those energies, helping them make that balance, they will be able to control any mass of energy they want.”
When ‘Bi Qing’ heard this, she once again gave a nod of agreement along with her protectors.
After hearing this, ‘Bi Qing’ said, “The problem is, how are you planning on giving me this energy?” Then she revealed a teasing smile and said, “Unless you’re saying that you’re willing to take out this root and give it to me?”
Lin Fan shuddered when he heard this.
He wasn’t certain, but he could hear a trace of what seemed to be seriousness in her voice. It was as if she wasn’t joking about this and she would actually do it if it seemed viable.
But he knew that if that were to happen, that would mean…his death.
That was if it was serious and if it wasn’t, he would still lose his cultivation from losing his spiritual root that was the base of his cultivation. Without the spiritual root, there was no doubt that the cultivation that he had worked so hard to build would scatter without a trace.
So giving her this spiritual root wasn’t even an option.
Hearing her say this, the protectors even took a step forward towards Lin Fan which made him shudder again.
But then Lin Fan said, “No, there’s a way for me to give you the energy directly.”
This time, ‘Bi Qing’ revealed a confused look since she had never heard of this kind of technique before. She had been taught many things, but this was definitely something that she had never been taught before.
So she couldn’t help asking, “How?”
Lin Fan couldn’t help hesitating once more when he reached this point. After all, this was the one thing that he had been hesitating about the entire time.
This was the one thing that he didn’t want to tell her because…he knew that she would get angry the moment that she heard it.
Seeing that he was hesitating and that he wasn’t willing to say a thing, ‘Bi Qing’ narrowed her eyes to pressure him before saying, “I’m asking you, how?”
Lin Fan just stood there with the same bitter smile on his face, but facing this pressure…he had no choice but to speak in the end.
“Dual cultivation.” Lin Fan said in a deadpan voice.
The moment that he said this, there was a silence that followed.
Then everyone suddenly said, “Huh?”
That was the only thing that they could think of the moment that they heard what Lin Fan said. Not a single one of them could understand the words that he said even though they knew what the words meant individually.
But when he put them together like this, it was like he was speaking in an alien language.
Still, their brains eventually processed what they had heard and everyone reacted in different manners.
Lin Fan first felt two hands pinching his sides coming from behind him.
Then he felt the pressure coming from ‘Bi Qing’ as she stood there glaring at him.
Finally, he felt a lot of pressure coming from the cloaked protectors as they suddenly exploded with rage.
He didn’t blame them since from any perspective that one looked at this, it would seem like sexual harassment. If he was the one that was watching instead of being the one that said this, he would have punished him too as a sexual harasser.
But he was the one that was caught in the middle of this, so he had no choice but to endure everything.
As the cloaked protectors were about to jump him, ‘Bi Qing’ suddenly raised her hand to stop them. However, this time, they weren’t as willing to cooperate as before.
“Young miss, this man is clearly making a fool of you and harassing you at the same time!”
“That’s right! Young miss, let us punish this piece of dirt for you!”
The protectors all agreed on this one point.
Lin Fan could even feel the gazes coming from behind him agreeing to this which made the bitter smile on his face become even wider.
But ‘Bi Qing’ said in the end, “Wait and let him explain first.”
Then she turned to him and looked at him as if she was waiting for him to explain.
Lin Fan let out a sigh of relief when he saw this.
He had been afraid that he would be beaten up right away, but now it seemed that she was at least willing to hear him out.
So he said, “It’s the Love Sect special dual cultivation technique. It allows both sides to share what they have with each other, making both sides stronger. So if we use this technique, I will be able to share the five major elemental energies from my spiritual root with you.”
Hearing that he was still insisting on going through with this plan, the protectors looked like they were frenzied dogs that wanted to rip him to pieces.
But Bi Qing raised her hand again to stop them before saying, “Alright, that sounds reasonable. Let’s try it out then.”
