Chapter 43 Testing Yu Lan's Spiritual Roots
"A spiritual root?!"

"Would you like me to have my spiritual root tested?"

Yu Lan jumped up excitedly from the ground, staring intently at Shen Baisu, his eyes seeming to shoot out a laser beam.

Shen Baisu took out the crystal flower. "Come on, put your hand on it."

If she had known that Yu Lan would guess her identity as a cultivator so easily, she should have tested his spiritual root before feeding him the Marrow Cleansing Pill.

In this way, she would know exactly how effective the Marrow Cleansing Pill would be after its medicinal effects were broken down.

“Sister Su, it…it’s not moving!” Yu Lan suddenly looked at Shen Baisu and spoke up. His tone was very uneasy, and he stammered, “Could it be that I don’t have a spiritual…spiritual root?”

Upon hearing this, Shen Baisu looked toward the crystal flower and saw that Yu Lan was holding her hand above the flower's core, at least five centimeters away from the hemisphere.

At this moment, he was looking at Shen Baisu with unease, without any doubt that there was something wrong with his operation.

"..." Shen Baisu paused for a moment, then asked speechlessly, "Is this all you understand about testing spiritual roots? Testing them remotely?"

Yu Lan said confidently, "I read a cultivation novel before, and that's exactly what it said."

Do you need me to explain the principle to you?

Shen Baisu: "..."

Who was it that spent time in the cultivation world, you or me?

Yu Lan: "Don't be fooled by the fact that I didn't touch the crystal flower. In fact, I have already made contact with it through my thoughts."

"I believe this detector has sensed my sincerity, and it will answer the questions in my heart."

He hasn't received any answer yet. Perhaps he lacks spiritual roots, or perhaps the flower hasn't yet sensed his sincerity.

"..." Shen Baisu took a deep breath silently, and then said to Yu Lan, word by word, "Put your hand on the hemisphere, now."

Yu Lan quickly placed her hand on the core of the crystal flower.

The moment his palm touched the flower's core, two colors appeared within the transparent, icy core.

Upon seeing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Shen Baisu's eyes.

Ordinary people do not understand the mysteries of cultivating immortality, nor do they know how to test their spiritual roots. Therefore, ordinary people cannot make the detector light up the moment they touch it.

However, those with a foundation in cultivation are different. They can actively channel spiritual energy into the crystal flower and establish a connection with it, thus making it easier to detect the type and grade of their spiritual roots.

But Yu Lan is an ordinary person. He has no cultivation foundation. Logically speaking, the Crystal Flower should take the initiative to establish contact with him, detect his spiritual root, and then the Crystal Flower should reflect the type and grade of his spiritual root.

“Red and gold…” Yu Lan murmured softly, looking at the colors displayed in the crystal flower.

After muttering to himself, he suddenly looked at Shen Baisu with bright eyes, "I know, I know! The red one is a fire spirit root, and the gold one is a metal spirit root, right?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Baisu gave him an approving look, "Not bad, all those years of reading novels weren't for nothing."

Upon hearing this, Yu Lan knew he had guessed correctly, and his eyes shone with undisguised joy. "So I have spiritual roots, right?"

After asking Shen Baisu, Yu Lan didn't wait for her answer, but instead began to ponder and mutter to herself, "Fire spiritual root and metal spiritual root..."

"Fire and metal are the best combination of spiritual roots for refining weapons, so besides cultivation, I can also become a weapon refiner, right?"

Upon hearing his words, Shen Baisu secretly clicked her tongue in admiration. She had to admit that Yu Lan's understanding of cultivation was truly exceptional.

It's a pity that his rank is a bit low; otherwise, he might have gone very far on the path of cultivation.

As Shen Baisu was pondering this, Yu Lan's question suddenly rang in her ears, "Sister Su, why isn't this crystal flower fully lit?"

"The red one only spread to five petals, and the gold one only spread to six petals."

As Yu Lan spoke, she began to ponder. Before Shen Baisu could speak, Yu Lan suddenly spoke again, "I understand, the number of petals corresponds to the grade of the spiritual root, right?"

"Fifth and sixth rank...that's quite good."

"Gao Di Neng could become a decent weapon refiner."

Looking at the cheerful and carefree Yu Lan, Shen Baisu was quite envious of his attitude. He was just lucky to be born on Earth, where cultivators were scarce. If he were on the cultivation continent, with his talent, if he entered a powerful sect, he might just be a menial disciple, or at most an outer disciple.

Unaware of Shen Baisu's thoughts, Yu Lan, having already finished his own explanation, looked at Shen Baisu and continued to ask, "Sister Su, can I become a weapon refiner?"

Shen Baisu did not answer his question immediately. Instead, she stared at him for a few seconds to make sure he would not answer his own question again before gently humming in agreement.

Yu Lan was overjoyed, and he began to cheer himself up again.

However, after a brief moment of cheerfulness, Yu Lan asked Shen Baisu again, "Sister Su, does your sect have any weapon refiners? Can I become their apprentice? Can you introduce me to them?"

Shen Baisu replied perfunctorily, "Okay."

If Fifth Senior Sister were to come to this world, she wouldn't mind introducing him to someone, as for becoming his disciple...

Forget it, Fifth Senior Sister wouldn't even look at Yu Lan's aptitude.

Yu Lan couldn't detect Shen Baisu's perfunctory attitude. He said with a touched expression, "Thank you, Sister Su. I knew you wouldn't forget your little brother."

Changyu, who stood by and witnessed the whole thing, didn't say a word. He just quietly watched Shen Baisu's perfunctory attitude towards Yu Lan.

**
There are both advantages and disadvantages to Yu Lan discovering his identity as a cultivator.

The advantage is that in the future, when asking him to test drugs, there will be no need to lie anymore. Yu Lan will buy it without hesitation. Even if he doesn't have the money, Shen Baisu believes that he will definitely find a way to raise enough.

The downside is that Yu Lan started shamelessly pestering Shen Baisu to teach him how to cultivate immortality.

Shen Baisu was so bothered by his pestering that she had no choice but to find a Fire Spiritual Power Cultivation Manual and a Metal Spiritual Power Cultivation Manual for him from the library, so that he could slowly comprehend them on his own.

Upon receiving the cultivation manual, Yu Lan was overjoyed and immediately began studying it.

He studied it for a long time, from morning till night.

In the middle of the night, Shen Baisu received a call from Lan, "Sister Su, I don't understand it at all, can you teach me yourself?"

Shen Baisu glanced at the time; it was 1:30 a.m.

"Are you crazy? What time is it?"

"Stop studying the book, just keep going. Staying up all night is also a form of cultivation."

After saying that, Shen Baisu was about to hang up the phone.

Yu Lan: "Don't hang up! Sister Su, don't hang up! Please teach me! I can pay for the tuition!"

Shen Baisu: "...Pay me any more tuition fees than I should. If you're so capable, give me back my 80 million first."

Fearing that Yu Lan would continue to pester her, Shen Baisu cut off his next words, "I don't have a fire spirit root, nor a metal spirit root, and I don't understand it either. You can continue to study it yourself. You'll eventually gain something after studying it a hundred times."

Yu Lan: "..."

I feel like you're just giving me the runaround, but I have no proof.

"It's getting late, I'm not going to say anything more, goodbye." Without waiting for Lan to speak, Shen Baisu hung up the phone.

After that, she blocked Yu Lan.

**
Shen Baisu did not forget her promise to Lin Xiaoran.

The following evening, at the agreed time, Shen Baisu arrived at the place where Lin Xiaoran had arranged to meet her.

When they arrived at the location, Shen Baisu realized that Lin Xiaoran had arranged to meet her near the Shen family manor.

It seems that Lin Xiaoran thought she was still living in the Shen family manor, so she chose this place to meet for her convenience.

"Junior Shen, you're here?"

Upon seeing Shen Baisu, Lin Xiaoran happily stood up and waved to her.
