During these three days, the three of them became more and more anxious, and they couldn't even eat Ye Zhiling's favorite food. It was not until three days later, when the flow of spiritual energy became weak, that the three of them perked up.

After three days of practice, the spiritual energy in the body was completely opened up. After circulating through the whole body, it had reached the point of cleansing the meridians and marrow and leaving the mortal bones.

Lin Hao slowly opened his eyes, but before he could feel the changes in his body, Lin Jinxing and the other two rushed in anxiously.

Lin Hao: “…”

Is the sky falling outside? Why are you so anxious?

"Little disciple, are you..." feeling unwell somewhere?

The rest of the words got stuck in Zhang Ziqing's throat and he couldn't say them.

After seeing the scene inside the house, Ye Zhiling covered her eyes shyly.

Lin Jinxing was the calmest. He untied his outer robe and covered Lin Hao with it.

Lin Hao was full of questions, not understanding why they reacted like that. It was not until Lin Jinxing's outer robe covered his entire body that he looked at himself.

This sight made Lin Hao's face turn red.

Ahhh! Where are his clothes?

Lin Jinxing seemed to understand what he was thinking and said, "When you enter into meditation for the first time, your spiritual energy will wash away your meridians and marrow. Some impurities will be expelled from your body and stick to your clothes. They will fall off together after they dry. This is a normal phenomenon. We forgot this due to our negligence."

It was the first time that Lin Hao heard his senior brother speak such a long speech and he was a little surprised. At the same time, Lin Jinxing's words made him less shy.

He calmly took out a set of clothes and changed into them, then poked his head out from Lin Jinxing's outer robe.

Seeing that Lin Jinxing and others had their backs to Lin Hao, "Ahem!" Lin Hao coughed twice to indicate that he was dressed.

Lin Jinxing and Changziqing turned around, but Ye Zhiling was the slowest to react. Even though Changziqing forced him to turn around, he still covered his eyes with his hands.

"Your junior brother, put on your clothes and don't need to cover your eyes." Zhang Ziqing rubbed his temples with a headache.

Ye Zhiling is already eighteen years old, even though something went wrong back then and prevented her from growing up.

But if the body doesn’t grow, has the brain also stopped functioning?

Ye Zhiling had been deceived by Zhang Ziqing so many times that his credibility was almost zero in her mind, but she still tried to look through her fingers.

Only when he saw that Lin Hao had really put on his clothes did he put his hand down.

Chang Ziqing was not paying attention to Ye Zhiling. He took two steps forward and grabbed Lin Hao's wrist, injecting spiritual energy into Lin Hao's body to examine his body.

But the more he probed, the tighter Chang Ziqing's brows furrowed, even after he moved around in Lin Hao's body, his brows never relaxed.

"Strange, so strange."

Ye Zhiling was the first to get impatient and stepped forward to ask, "Junior brother, what's wrong with your health?"

"No problem." Chang Ziqing replied.

Hearing this answer, Ye Zhiling thought that her master was playing a trick on her again, "Master! What a time to joke!"

Unlike Ye Zhiling, Lin Jinxing frowned when he heard this answer and said, "Xiao Ling, Master is not joking. The biggest problem is not having a problem."

"What are these questions? Can you stop asking nonsense?" Ye Zhiling knew that her senior brother was different from her master and would not joke around. But this made her even more confused.

Even Lin Hao, who was being discussed, became confused. What was going on?

He felt more comfortable than ever after entering into a state of meditation, but why were they all so serious?

I won’t have any terminal illness, will I?

Before Lin Hao could ask, Zhang Ziqing asked first: "Are you feeling unwell?"

"I feel great. I can see farther and I seem to have more strength." Seeing that his usually casual master had become serious, Lin Hao hurriedly replied.

"This shouldn't be possible. He clearly has four spiritual roots, but this time he only absorbed fire spiritual energy, without any signs of going astray. How is this possible?" Zhang Ziqing muttered.

"Junior brother, please feel the changes in your body carefully, especially your spiritual power and spiritual roots." Lin Jinxing said.

Zhang Ziqing patted his forehead and said, "Yes, yes, yes! I was confused. You should feel it according to what Jinxing said."

Lin Hao followed Lin Jinxing's instructions and closed his eyes to feel it. After a while, he opened his eyes and said, "The fire spirit in my body is very strong, and there is nothing wrong with my fire spirit root. But in comparison, I can't use the spirit power of other spirit roots, and the other three spirit roots seem to be dry and flat, as if they have lost moisture."

The more Lin Jinxing and Zhang Ziqing listened, the more they frowned. Ye Zhiling, who was standing beside them, was completely confused. "What's going on? I don't understand. Junior brother obviously has four spiritual roots, why does he only have fire spiritual energy?"

This is also what Lin Jinxing and Zhang Ziqing are confused about.

Zhang Ziqing stepped forward, held Lin Hao's wrist again and said, "Use the spiritual energy in your body this time."

Lin Hao did as he was told.

After feeling Lin Hao's spiritual power, Zhang Ziqing's face became even more puzzled. "The meridians are running smoothly, and there is no sign of demonic possession."

Zhang Ziqing also noticed the change in Lin Hao's cultivation at this time, "Moreover, he has already reached the first level of Qi Refining in just three days?"

Ye Zhiling and Lin Jinxing, who were standing by, had just been concerned about Lin Hao's health. After being reminded, they also noticed that Lin Hao's cultivation had really reached the first level of Qi Refining!

Lin Hao didn't understand. A mere first level of Qi Refining shouldn't surprise them so much, right?

Ye Zhiling covered his mouth in shock, "Junior brother obviously has four spiritual roots, but his cultivation speed is comparable to that of my senior brother who has a heavenly grade mutant ice spiritual root? Could it be that the spiritual stone used to measure it was broken?"

"It's not broken. My little disciple does have four spiritual roots, but I still need to check this situation. Xiao Jinxing, Xiao Haohao will be in your care for the time being. If there is any problem, let me know immediately." Zhang Ziqing took out a storage ring and continued, "Here is the sword that I used to wear. You can practice with it first."

He left in a hurry, but came back a few breaths later. "I almost forgot."

Just when Lin Hao was wondering what he had forgotten, before he could ask, Chang Ziqing pointed his finger at his forehead, and a faint light lit up on Lin Hao's forehead.

The light dissipated, and Zhang Ziqing said, "Back then, Xiao Haohao comprehended the sword energy through the sword intent in your jade pendant, Xiao Jinxing. I knew he was going to participate in the disciple recruitment conference, and I was afraid that he would show off his edge and cause trouble like you, so I sealed it. I almost forgot about it just now. During the time I'm not here, Xiao Haohao, you should lay a good foundation first, and don't rush to comprehend the sword energy."

It turns out that even though Lin Hao had practiced hard before, he couldn't sense the sword energy anymore. It wasn't his problem; it was all because of his master!

Even though he knew that Zhang Ziqing was doing it for his own good, there was a hint of resentment in his eyes when he thought about how he had practiced sword skills desperately because he was ignorant of the inside story.

"Ahem! Don't look at me like that. I'm doing this for your own good." Chang Ziqing covered his mouth and coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment.

"Then you might as well tell me." Lin Hao's eyes did not leave Zhang Ziqing.

"I didn't tell you because you are too young and I was afraid I couldn't keep the secret. Besides, if I tell you, can I still seal your name?" The eldest son Qing felt guilty and turned his head away from looking at Lin Hao.

That must not happen. Lin Hao held the words in his throat and did not say them out.

Seeing that Lin Hao didn't answer, Zhang Ziqing quickly said: "I'll go check on your condition, you can practice with Xiao Jinxing without worry." When he finished speaking, the person had disappeared.

Only three disciples were left looking at each other in bewilderment. Ye Zhiling knew that there was little use in staying and so he stood up and left.

But before leaving, he did not forget to leave two pieces of peanut candies and a sympathetic look.

Lin Hao: “…” Is senior brother some kind of monster?

Soon Lin Hao realized that Lin Jinxing was not a terrible beast, but he was more terrifying than a terrible beast.
