Chapter 6: Useless Magical Weapon
After hearing this, Patriarch Feng's eyes lit up and he said:

"That's good! You didn't come here just to talk about this, right?"

Feng Jiaqing immediately nodded and said:

"Ancestor, I tested Yun Xi's spiritual roots. She has three mutated, top-grade spiritual roots: wind, thunder, and ice."

After hearing this, Feng Feng flashed up to Feng Jiaqing and asked:
"Is the measurement accurate?"

"Naturally, the strange phenomenon caused by the spiritual roots was concealed by the formation of the Soul Lantern Hall."

"Good! Good! Good!"

Feng Feng said three good words in a row, and after turning around twice, he said:
"Yun Xi must stay at the Feng family to practice."

Feng Jiaqing certainly agreed, but he frowned and said:

"Ancestor, if the Wei family knew Yun Xi's talent was so good, they probably wouldn't give up on this girl."

After hearing this, Patriarch Feng nodded and said:
"Given the Wei family's unwavering nature, they will definitely not give up on such a promising young talent. Furthermore, they will likely ask our Feng family for resources because of Yun Xi's talent. Otherwise, the Wei family will not allow us to have any share of Yun Xi's future achievements."

Feng Jiaqing echoed:

"Just by looking at Wei Lingyue's eagerness to establish a concubine, we can tell that he doesn't have much affection for Yun Xi. When Du Ruolan becomes Madam Wei, Yun Xi will definitely be bullied again. She's still young and hasn't practiced cultivation yet. We can't let the child live in the Feng family permanently."

Patriarch Feng walked around his yard twice, as if he had thought of something. He then strode back to his room. A moment later, he returned to the yard with a small brocade box in his hand, and handed it to Feng Jiaqing, saying,

"Help Yun Xi refine this top-grade magic weapon, and then retest her spiritual roots after refining."

Feng Jiaqing reacted quickly. He raised his eyebrows and said:
"Ancestor, is this a magic weapon that conceals spiritual roots?"

Patriarch Feng nodded and said:
"Yes, this is a trophy I won a long time ago. I just put it away because it has defects, but it is very suitable for Yun Xi now."

Feng Jiaqing was not shy and opened the brocade box. He saw a plain silver ring inside the box. It had no patterns or spiritual fluctuations and looked exactly like an ordinary silver ring.

Feng Laozu continued to explain:
"After refining this magical instrument that conceals spiritual roots, it can make spiritual roots appear one level lower when testing them. However, it will lose its concealing effect during cultivation and fighting.

It’s like I have dual spiritual roots of fire and wood. After using this magic weapon, although the test shows that I still have dual spiritual roots, the value of the spiritual roots is only fifty, which greatly reduces my aptitude.

But Yun Xi is different. She hasn't started practicing yet. If you help her refine this magic weapon now, it won't lose its effect when she practices or fights in the future. When she's strong enough, she can remove it on her own. This should be enough to deal with the Wei family."

Feng Jiaqing curled his lips and smiled:

"Don't worry, Grandpa. I will explain the situation to Yunxi tomorrow. I believe this girl will understand our painstaking efforts."

Patriarch Feng continued:

"This matter requires Yun Xi's cooperation. However, even if her aptitude deteriorates, I guess the Wei family won't let her go for a while. After the Wei family has tested her spiritual roots and confirmed the young people to be sent to Haoran Sect for training, we will make our efforts.

Things need to be done step by step. Don't rush. If you rush, you will make mistakes, and if you make mistakes, the Wei family will easily notice."

"Don't worry, ancestor, Jiaqing understands."

The two of them talked in secret for a while before Feng Jiaqing left the old ancestor's yard.

After Feng Feng sent the others away, he waved his hand and opened the defensive formation of his courtyard. He sighed and said to himself, "Jia Yun, this is all the ancestor can do for you. I hope you can return safely."

On the second day, Wei Yunxi slept until noon as usual and only got out of bed when he was hungry.

The four maids had clear division of labor and were busy surrounding Wei Yunxi, helping her to dress, wash, comb her hair, and eat. By the end of the whole process, it was already noon.

Wei Yunxi stretched her short body and prepared to go meet her uncle. There were some things she wanted to ask more about.

Just as she and her maid reached the gate of the courtyard where they were staying temporarily, they ran into Feng Jiaqing who came to look for her.

Feng Jiaqing looked at the little girl who was obviously in better spirits than yesterday and asked with a smile:

"Yunxi, did you sleep well last night?"

Wei Yunxi politely bowed before speaking softly:

"Thank you for your concern, uncle. Yunxi slept well last night and got up late this morning. I was just about to go and pay my respects to uncle."

Feng Jiaqing waved his hand and said:

"Don't be so polite. We are monks, so there is no need for such formalities. However, I do have something to discuss with you privately today."

Wei Yunxi immediately nodded to indicate that it was no problem, and the group returned to the small courtyard. This time, the four maids were left outside. For safety reasons, Feng Jiaqing also opened a defensive array to isolate them from outsiders.

Feng Jiaqing then took out the brocade box from the storage ring, and explained the function of the silver ring, the purpose of helping her refine it, the effect after refining it, and even the chain reaction caused by the change of her spiritual roots.

Wei Yunxi pretended to listen with her eyes rolling around, but her brain was working at high speed. This was another plot that did not appear in the novel, but this happened because she came to the Feng family. The female supporting role Wei Yunxi in the novel did not come to the Feng family for a short stay, and her relationship with the Feng family was even average.

Now the Feng family has tested her spiritual roots in advance. After confirming that she has extraordinary talent, they plan to pull her into the Feng family's possession. That's why they took the trouble to plan for her, hoping to pull her into the Feng family camp without attracting the Wei family's attention.

Wei Yunxi analyzed the situation and felt that going to the Feng family would have more advantages than staying in the Wei family. Not to mention that the Wei family has the heroine Wei Yunqing. Even if she has extraordinary talent, as long as she doesn't grow up, she will be nothing. First of all, Du Ruolan will not allow her to grow up, otherwise the female supporting role in the novel would not have become the boy who brings wealth.

Wei Lingyue is a fence-sitter, he will stand on whichever side offers benefits. If he finds out that she is not qualified, he might even try to cheat her out of all the good things she has, and when she is no longer useful, he will let her fend for herself in the Wei family.

The Feng family is different. For Feng Jiayun's sake, they will take care of her. Especially after learning that she has such extraordinary talent, they are more willing to invest in her because she also has half Feng family blood flowing in her body.

After figuring this out, she pretended to be ignorant and said:

"Uncle, I understand some of what you said, but I don't understand some of it. But my mother said that I should listen to you. You won't harm me. I'll do whatever you tell me to do."

Feng Jiaqing patted Wei Yunxi's little head with satisfaction and said with a smile:

"Of course, uncle will definitely not harm you."

After saying that, the head of the Feng family pinched his fingers to take a drop of Wei Yunxi's heart blood, dripped the blood on the silver ring, and injected spiritual power into the silver ring, which turned red, and sent it into Wei Yunxi's spiritual root.

Wei Yunxi felt a little dizzy, as if a needle had pricked her chest, and her vision was a little blurry.

After Feng Jiaqing confirmed that the magic weapon that concealed the spiritual roots had successfully recognized its master, he stuffed a blood-replenishing pill into the pale-faced Wei Yunxi. After little Yunxi recovered, he took out the spirit-testing plate again.

This time, Wei Yunxi put his hand on it without him having to say anything.

Good morning, my dear children! I'm launching a new book, so please continue to support me and give me your support.
