The sword seller, dressed in red, deserves applause for the prankster.

There's a reason why Chi Miao was able to immediately say "there's a twist."

It wasn't because she was the closest.

Instead, she immediately sensed the change in her spiritual root.

The moment she transferred the spiritual energy from her spiritual root to Ying Wuhuo, her top-grade fire spiritual root underwent a change.

It changed completely from a golden-red color to gold.

Although her cultivation level did not improve, her actual combat strength... underwent a qualitative leap.

Most importantly, she was previously only sensitive to the fire element, but now she can clearly see the five elements in the air.

Although she didn't do anything, she could sense that she could use all five elements!

In that instant, she suddenly remembered what the elders had said about the "Yang Spiritual Root" being able to cultivate the Five Elements techniques, and thus concluded that she seemed to truly have the Yang Spiritual Root.

The Gou Shi system also provided her with a wave of solid evidence.

Gou Shi System: "I just searched my database again, and there is indeed such a thing as Yang Spiritual Root. It can mobilize the five elements, unlike mixed spiritual roots. The total amount of spiritual power it needs remains the same."

"However... the database describes the Yang Spiritual Root more as follows: the Yang Spiritual Root is the strongest spiritual root, but it is also the easiest to die from, and it is the kind that will definitely kill you."

"Even the most powerful holder of Yang Spiritual Root cannot live past the Golden Core stage."

Chi Miao: "Never mind the rest for now. Can you explain why what you sent me was clearly a top-grade fire spirit root, but now it's a yang spirit root?"

Gou Shi System: "I don't know either. I only have one top-grade spiritual root in my inventory."

Chi Miao: "Didn't they say it would be a random selection of top-tier spiritual roots?!"

If the history system had a face, it would surely be blushing with embarrassment.

"Oh, wasn't that just me putting on a show to appear great in front of you after you'd endured over ten years of hardship?"

Chi Miao fell silent.

She suddenly realized that she wasn't actually the most abstract person around her anymore.

"I'm going to die in ten minutes. Please investigate the cause of my death. I don't want to die with my eyes open."

Gou Shi System: "This is easy to explain. It is actually based on the theory of the five elements. Take mixed spiritual roots as an example. They do not mix in nature, but after a cultivator inhales them, they are trapped in the same space, which is the dantian."

"As we all know, molecules are in constant random motion. So, as the space shrinks and the concentration of the five elements increases, the originally incompatible five elements merge together."

"Humans cannot precisely control proportions, so if the proportions become unbalanced, won't it naturally explode?"

Chi Miao stroked his chin: "To put it simply, it means that forced relationships are never sweet?"

Gou Shi System: "???"

"That's a very abstract statement, but it makes a lot of sense."

"But there's nothing we can do about it. The five elements of spiritual energy have already started flowing into your body, so it's expected to explode in less than ten minutes."

"You're reopening again, are you surprised?"

I never expected that my own explosion would come even faster than the Yama Curse.

His host is really something, saving someone only to get himself into trouble.

Chi Miao pursed her lips, lost in thought.

"I see……"

Suddenly, she pulled out a massage chair and lay down on it.

The Gou Shi System was shocked: "Aren't you going to try to save it? This isn't like you at all!!"

Chi Miao took a deep breath and lay down peacefully.

"If you can't stop it from happening, then learn to be strong."

"I'll try to be strong."

Gou Shi System: "..."

She's gone mad! She's gone mad! How come her host has no will to live at all?!

"I don't care what you are, get off my host right now!"

But the Gou Shi system didn't see it, and Chi Miao's lips curled into a wicked smile.

She looked distressed, sickly, and pitiful. She gave a bitter smile as she looked at everyone.

They were also surprised.

Jin Shengfei: "Chi Miao, you... have you figured out the cause of your death?"

Chi Miao nodded. "Yes, I understand everything now. It's just that the five elements are out of balance and exploded."

"It's a pity I can't see the New Year's fireworks, nor can I see the blood splatter from my own explosion. I don't know which flower explodes bigger and more beautifully."

Jin Shengfei choked up and sighed, "Sigh."

Ying Wuhuo slowly walked over, his voice hoarse.

"I……"

Chi Miao did it to save him.

If it weren't for him, Chi Miao wouldn't have faced such a certain death situation.

He Wanban clenched his fists: "It's all my fault...it's all my fault for not investigating properly! We just assumed..."

They only thought that the Yang Spirit Root could cultivate the Five Elements techniques, meaning that one could freely choose one.

Unexpectedly, it violated the theory of the Five Elements, allowing the Five Elements to coexist.

Having both water and fire spiritual roots in the same person, which are opposing attributes, can easily lead to trouble if one is not careful.

Moreover, Chi Miao currently possesses the Five Elements Spiritual Roots.

There's no hope!

Chi Miao shook her head: "It's not your fault. May I have my last words?"

Chong Shuai: "Tell me, we'll do our best as long as we can."

Chi Miao smiled bitterly, then looked up at the sky.

"After I die, the Heavenly Sorrow Cave will inevitably be unable to open. At that time, there will definitely be blind people targeting Nine Swords Mountain. I only hope... that you will not blame me."

Good heavens!

For a moment, everyone was moved to tears.

They never imagined that Chi Miao was such a great person.

She is about to die trying to save people, but she is still worried that if the Heavenly Sorrow Cave cannot be opened, Nine Swords Mountain will become the target of everyone's criticism.

"You...you're so sensible, Miaomiao."

Sensible children are the ones who most easily evoke people's pity.

Jin Shengfei's face turned bright red.

"They won't blame you, they won't blame you... If anyone blames you, I'll kill them for you!"

His words were sharp and uncompromising, without the slightest falsehood.

Chi Miao smiled, but her beautiful eyes also held a hint of tears:

"I hope that after I die, I can still see you all giving me delicious food and fun things to do."

"If it's even better, could you burn some spirit artifact pills for me? What if there's nothing on them? It's always good to have more."

Chong Shuai said, "Alas, if you can live... we'll give you everything you want!"

Chi Miao smiled with relief, "Okay, okay."

She said a lot more.

Everyone assumed she was dying, so they spoiled her and indulged her every whim.

I agreed to everything.

She even verbally agreed to the absurd thing of having the ownership of Nine Swords Mountain named after her.

then.

Chong Shuai suddenly realized something.

"Why are these ten minutes taking so long?"

A quick calculation reveals the answer.

wrong!

"Twenty minutes have passed, how come you're still not dead??"

Chi Miao blinked innocently.

"Oh, twenty minutes already?"

Suddenly, her face contorted in pain, and she hugged herself tightly.

"I...I'm in so much pain! It hurts so much!"

Everyone: "..."

"Why do I suddenly have this feeling that I've been tricked?"

"Me too, and this feeling is getting stronger and stronger."

The group gradually realized that something was wrong.

Chonglu quickly stepped forward and grabbed Chi Miao's hand to sense the elemental state within her body.

It would be better if it didn't register.

Upon sensing it, he was dumbfounded.

"How...how could this be?!"
