The Fallen Consort

In a blink of an eye, Yi Ling bit her finger and dashed towards the center. A bit of blood was flowing out from her finger, so she dab that finger into Haoran's forehead. Yi Ling had to crouch, since they were still lying down and seems frozen.

Xiang He was frozen as well. He didn't see when Elder Minzhe got their masks off. As soon as he kicked Haoran, both of them didn't have their masks. Is Elder Minzhe that powerful? And what was Master doing? Blood Contract? Don't tell me?! Elder Haoran is not a human?!!! One after the other, His Master keeps giving him a heart attack. Will he last long beside him, if his Master keeps doing my this?

Minzhe had released a powerful force to get their Masks off just before they crashed to each other. He didn't tell them to removed it themselves, fearing that they will get an idea of what's going to happen. Spiritual Spirits tend to get defensive pretty quick.

As soon as the contract was done, Yi Ling waved her wrist as she stuffed Haoran to the Ring. She didn't have time to talk to him right now, She was sure that the Viridis will get mad.

"Mu Xin, I'll let you handle him for me. hehe." Yi Ling scratch her head.

"En". Mu Xin smiled. He was the one who taught Minzhe about all the things he needed to learn. Being the ruler of Huaxia, Minzhe would encounter any Spiritual Spirits sooner or later. To subdue them, you have to target their feeble hearts.

"Now that Haoran is contracted. I won't have to worry about him anymore." Yi Ling got up and looked at Linyu. He was still lying down, looking at the ceiling. Poor guy, his first kiss was robbed.

"Mother, Linyu will be fine." Minzhe was now back to his young self. Yi Ling nodded.

Only Yi Ling and Tefei was wearing their masks. Xiang He already saw Tefei before, but he was shocked to see Elder Minzhe's real face when he kicked Haoran earlier.

"Tefei, help him up." Yi Ling ordered. Tefei got up from his chair and helped Linyu back to his own chair. The whole time, Linyu was in a daze.

"Master, just give him a couple of minutes to digest. He'll be fine." Tefei chuckled.

Yi Ling shake her head and looked at Xiang He. His jaws were slight ajar.

"As you can see, Haoran is not human. As well as Linyu and Tefei. Tefei is a spiritual beast while Haoran and Linyu are Spiritual Spirits." Yi Ling explained to Xiang He.

"Spiritual Spirits? You mean master, they are herbs?!!!" Xiang He's eyes went wide. He had heard of them before, but they had an extremely volatile personality. They will never form a contract to any humans! And yet, his Master have two! There is also Tefei, a Spiritual Beast! How terrifying is his Master? With his mask on, he could never perceive his Master's real strength.

"En. Only I and Minzhe are human. I am sharing this information to you because I trust you. Never betray my trust or I will personally exterminate your whole Kingdom." Yi Ling glared at Xiang He.

Xiang He could feel an extreme pressure coming out from Elder Minzhe. He fell to his knees instantly. "Yes Master! I will never ever betray Master!"

"Good. Stand up Xiang He." Yi Ling went back to sit on her chair with Minzhe in tow. They sat back together. Xiang He got up and looked at his master.

"Mu Xin? how do you go about this?" Yi Ling ask Mu Xin, she didn't really have any idea about Elements.

"Repeat what I'll said. So that he too can understand." Mu Xin replied. Yi Ling nodded.

"You had your breakthrough to Emergent Stage, all thanks to my concoction. In a way, I didn't expect that the concoction that the results would be this magnificent. I guess I can say that it's also because of your luck. To put it simple. Aside from having a breakthrough, you also unlocked your Inner Element.". Yi Ling conveyed Mu Xin's words.

"Inner Element?" Xiang He's brows furrowed. He had never heard of this term before.

"Yes, Inner Element. God's had a different name for it, It was once called the Heavenly Elements. Only the Great God's are able to conjure it. Unfortunately, something happened so many years ago. That resulted for the God's to die out. Along with it, was the knowledge of the Heavenly Elements. The Inner Element is the very first Element that a person can activate. What kind of element it is, depends on a person's latent talent. The highest number of Elements ever known was the creator of the heaven. He had at least 4 Elements. He could control the air, water, fire and earth.

Activating one's element is extremely hard. As I've said, only the Great God's are able to do it. This is a stage far beyond Sainthood. Even in heaven at the moment, There isn't any Great God left. You, being able to activate it. Is a good indication that we can bring the Heavenly Elements back again. Now, without the Great God's requirement."

Everyone stared at Yi Ling. Not even Minzhe knew about this. He knew that his father had a hand on this information. Elements? how come he never had one? And the madman had four of them?! No wonder he was extremely strong!

"Master? You mean I have one?" Xiang He looked at his hands, he was excited about this news! He couldn't fathom how knowledgeable his master was!
