Chapter 154: All of Them Are Very Tall

Since the sleeping schedule had been relaxed and she happened to be unable to sleep at the moment, she decided to get up first and visit the Spirit Beast Garden to check on Yuebai.

Not having seen Yuebai for five years, she had no idea how it was doing now, and the schedule for heading to the imperial capital this time was also very tight.

The other disciples in the sect would all travel together after half a month, while she was heading to Xuanxuan City in advance. Although Xuanxuan City was closer to the imperial capital than the Xuantian Sect, the time required to receive the heritage was entirely uncertain.

Reading more books could indeed help one understand many things. If it were in the past, according to her previous way of thinking, she would certainly have asked why the main branch of the Qi family would be willing to let someone with the surname Ji receive the heritage.

All heritages depended on the concentration of one's bloodline; upon heading to the Qi family, she would still need to test her bloodline, and whether she could receive the heritage depended entirely on herself.

What surname one had did not matter; what mattered was the bloodline. Bloodline was also something that could not be stripped away. Therefore, in this world, even among great aristocratic families, as long as one possessed their bloodline and met the requirements, everyone had a chance.

Besides, her maternal grandfather was a direct descendant of the Prince of Jingbei of the Qi family.

As the biological granddaughter of Qi Shuoyuan, there was completely no problem for her to receive the heritage.

"System, do you think the bloodline concentration on my Qi family side is higher, or the one on the Ji family side?"

The difference in concentration represented the extent to which she could receive the heritage on both sides.

"Is it possible that the concentrations on both sides are very high?"

The system's very calm reply made Ji Jiuxuan almost burst into laughter. "That's impossible, right?"

From her understanding during this period, bloodline heritages were always one high and one low; therefore, sometimes after receiving the heritage of one side, there might be no way to receive the other.

"It's impossible for others, but possible for you." The system explained, "Remember the three rewards you drew when you were born into this world?"

"I remember. The first was the Wood Spirit Origin, the second was the Dustless Spiritual Platform, and the third was the healthy growth protection setting. Does it have anything to do with this?"

Ji Jiuxuan thought for a moment. Back then, she had felt her luck was so terrible; apart from the first one being somewhat decent, the rest were either incomplete or came with too many restrictions.

Now, however, she was benefiting immensely from these very items.

"Based on the original aptitudes of Ji Minghuai and Qi Yanwei, if not for those settings, they would also have possessed extraordinary aptitudes upon birth. However, it would have been impossible to reach the ultimate limit."

The system was a system with a mouth; the good deeds it did would definitely be made known to the host.

"So as long as I made a choice from those initial options, you helped me improve my aptitude?" Ji Jiuxuan caught the meaning, yet felt something was still amiss. "I think that's not right. The options you gave me back then covered all five elements, and even included mutated spiritual roots."

She pondered in her mind, "The Ji family is dominated by fire-type spiritual roots, and the Qi family is divided into two systems: wood-type and fire-type. Even if my maternal grandfather favored his maternal family's metal-type, my maternal grandmother was wood-type, and my mother was wood-type, combining several families together still completely falls short of covering the five elements."

She then asked with a serious expression, "If I had chosen spiritual roots of other elements back then, would I have been unable to be born here?"

"Yes, it would have been a different life by then." However, certain events among them still would not have changed. "Reincarnation is a technical skill; your choice back then was quite good."

Ji Jiuxuan really wanted to roll her eyes. Among those choices back then, which one wasn't a darling of the heavens? They certainly wouldn't have fared poorly in the cultivation world either.

However, with a different life and different experiences, she wasn't curious about who she would have been born as if she had chosen other elements.

Since she had already chosen, she had no regrets, and would absolutely never regret it.

Chatting idly with the system, Ji Jiuxuan had already arrived at the Spirit Beast Garden.

The Spirit Beast Garden was generally not open to outsiders at night, but fortunately, He Lingsang had previously given her the right of passage, allowing her to visit the Moon White Rabbit at any time.

Upon entering, she happened to encounter the Divine Hurricane Eagle standing there watching her.

Ji Jiuxuan bowed to it with an extremely friendly attitude, "Senior."

She did not know the exact cultivation level of this Divine Hurricane Eagle, but its status within the sect was quite high, making it a truly respected existence. Moreover, her spirit beast was actually its child!

Although its appearance had grown out, its aura would never change. The Divine Hurricane Eagle recognized her at a glance and nodded. "Heading to the Moon White Rabbit Sanctuary?"

Ji Jiuxuan had been here a few times before, and the Divine Hurricane Eagle was already very familiar with her.

"Yes."

"Come up, I'll send you over." With that, it crouched down.

Ji Jiuxuan was somewhat flattered. Although she had encountered it every time she came previously, she had always been sent directly to the Moon White Rabbit Sanctuary by a formation.

"Thank you, Senior." Ji Jiuxuan did not stand on ceremony and directly leaped upward.

Now that she was in the Foundation Establishment stage, flying up was entirely feasible.

The feeling of being carried soaring through the skies was completely different from flying on her own spiritual sword, and both feelings were quite wonderful.

Lying on the back of the Divine Hurricane Eagle, Ji Jiuxuan asked, "Senior, according to records in books, the offspring of your Divine Hurricane Eagle clan hatch within roughly three years. The spirit beast egg I received from you back then still hasn't hatched to this day. I'd like to ask if there's anything special about it?"

Originally, she had planned to come tomorrow to look for Senior Uncle He for an inspection; since it hadn't hatched in five years, it was still best to let professional people take a look.

And it just so happened she ran into the Divine Hurricane Eagle itself this time.

Ji Jiuxuan's inquiry actually surprised the Divine Hurricane Eagle somewhat. "Still hasn't broken the shell?"

Hearing that the Divine Hurricane Eagle's tone did not carry any displeasure or worry, the anxiety in Ji Jiuxuan's heart settled down. "Yes, it has been kept in the spirit beast space for these past few years, and no signs of breaking the shell have been found."

The spirit beast space was beneficial to spirit pets that had already hatched, and equally beneficial to unhatched ones, serving a nurturing role.

Glancing at the surrounding environment, and realizing they were nearing the Moon White Rabbit Sanctuary, the Divine Hurricane Eagle didn't say anything immediately. It only spoke to Ji Jiuxuan after landing: "Let me take a look?"

Even though the spirit beast egg was its child, since it had already chosen to recognize Ji Jiuxuan as its master, the ownership belonged to her.

"Alright." Ji Jiuxuan hurriedly took out the spirit beast egg.

The entire Divine Hurricane Eagle spirit beast egg radiated a rich white glow, and the wind element was extremely pronounced.

Over the past five years, the aura of this spirit beast egg had been continuously strengthening, and now it had even reached the stage where white light floated visibly outside the eggshell.

The Divine Hurricane Eagle looked at the spirit beast egg before it in great astonishment.

It knew its own child best, and was all the more clear about what its aptitude had been back then. Now, looking like this, it completely surpassed the past.

"It is undergoing a breakthrough." Advancing while still inside the spirit beast egg was extremely rare, and such a situation also carried risks.

If the breakthrough succeeded, its strength upon hatching in the future would be even more formidable than that of its fellow clansmen; if the breakthrough failed, it might never be able to break the shell and would die directly.

Ji Jiuxuan knew this, and asked with some concern, "I wonder if Senior has any method to help it successfully break through?"

"I might need to take it away first, and return it to you tomorrow." The Divine Hurricane Eagle was very serious at this moment.

It felt that this child's ability to break through had a great deal to do with the young woman before it.

If it could successfully break through, it would become the most powerful member of their Divine Hurricane Eagle clan. Throughout history, those who had experienced such a situation had all become mighty figures on one side, renowned everywhere.

"Alright, I'll trouble Senior then." The spirit beast egg itself was the Divine Hurricane Eagle's child, and she had no worries about it being taken back.

The Divine Hurricane Eagle nodded toward her, wrapped the spirit beast egg in spiritual energy, and flew away.

Ji Jiuxuan could not perceive at all where it had specifically gone.
