Silence reign over the group, still waiting to come up and be healed.
Gong points out into the group. My eyes land on the choice.
It’s the young boy’s sister, who we were discussing earlier. Worry shows in her reptilian eyes as she slowly walks forward. It appears that she is actually the older sister, likely to be around 15.
Behind her, the brother’s hands are clenched, anxiously awaiting the result.
In the initial attack, the sister hadn’t gotten injured and was successfully protected. From what I can gather, one of the reasons why she stayed to join the group was because she appreciated our actions and helping everyone.
However, a brief look in her eyes reveals far more than the innocent looking exterior she initially showed. Her eyes briefly seem hard, cold even, as she stares at the chair.
Her eyes soften for a moment before she takes a very quick glance back at her brother, clearly worried. Even with his clearly tense demeanor, he still gives her a nod, encouraging her to go along with the procedure.
She gives a nod back before taking the seat. With the new patient now in the chair, I immediately begin healing her while scanning for any issues.
Despite all the buildup, she seems to be just a normal 16-year-old demi human girl, with an above average constitution. There seem to be quite a few scars, but compared to the majority of demi humans I’ve seen around, she has less than most.
Which is a little unsurprising, considering that I’m pretty sure she doesn’t run with her brother, doing information trading. It makes me curious to what she does do, since she appears relatively healthy, not having the same injuries that most prostitutes have.
Now comes the real question. What will she do once she gets healed of the demi human curse?
Will she immediately think of betraying us, or will she try to convince her brother?
The last vestiges of my energy courses through her, now unlocking and removing the demi human curse, which was holding back her natural ability to cultivate.
Once the healing completes, I’m able to see what her true status is.
Oh my. This could be a blessing… or a curse.
From what I can tell, she is actually far above anyone else I’ve seen, in terms of her spiritual root, standing at 5 Orchid Heaven. Placing her as a powerful and rare genius. Her cultivation speed would be 10,000x the speed of an average cultivator.
What is important to note is that most cultivators usually fall within 5 Rose Man. Most of the demi human cultivators, on the other hand, appear to be typically falling within 1 Peony Earth. Which a quick scan reveals to be the average that could be normally be expected.
Comparatively, Gong actually has a weaker spirit root than the average, standing at 8 Rose Man.
Since the spiritual root corresponds to the overall constitution of a person, this normally means that they are extremely intelligent and have a strong body.
My scan reveals, as I’ve been healing all these people, that demi humans naturally get a tremendous bonus to cultivating speeds, because of their ability to use both spirit beast and human cultivation methods. Since they can use both without restriction, it boosts how fast they can use either. The effects are multiplicative.
So, with above average spiritual roots and multiple cultivation methods, there was a reason why they were feared enough to have a curse placed upon the entire race.
They are basically monsters of cultivation.
Which means that within a race of monster cultivators, this young girl is simply far beyond anything we could imagine.
Not only that, but she seems to have Undead Resonance constitution, allowing her to cultivate 10 times faster and have stronger effects when using undead cultivation methods. Which basically means she’s a Necromancer. A monster necromancer.
My eyes glance over to Gong, As I suddenly pull a string attached to my clothes, a signal that we have someone that is spiritual root monster. Something that we were both hoping for and fearing.
We need to make sure that she stays with us… or doesn’t.
Gong seems to freeze, before releasing a small sigh, seemingly resigned.
My eyes returned to this young girl, apparently named Da Xia, as I watch carefully to see her response.
Unlike many of the other Demi humans, who I healed, she actually freezes in place. Her eyes appear wide and scared, muscles tense and fists clenched.
She appears scared to even take a look back at me, to confirm what she feels. With everyone staring at her, though, she eventually steps out of the chair.
She then turns around to face me, her head almost completely bowed.
She completely prostrates herself, never looking up at me in the eyes. My eyes help can’t help but glance at her brother, who seems frozen in shock.
Her voice seems to echo, in a strange way.
“Thank you for this gift, we will wholeheartedly work to make this group even more prosperous and truly appreciate the extreme risk you are taking on us.”
Mutters seem to erupt from the group that hasn’t yet gotten healed, remarking on what the gift could be.
Her brother seems to be in a state of shock, staring at his sister intently. He opens his mouth, but somehow Da Xia quickly turns to stare at him, stopping him before he can even utter a word.
While it appears that the spirit root doesn’t reveal a person’s final capability, it does come from a baseline talent level and starting point. If you are naturally strong and/or a genius, then you have a high spiritual root.
It looks like this young girl is no exception to that and is much more than she appears.
Her eyes turn back to me, clearly hoping her brother can be next. I turn my eyes over to Gong, and Da Xia, catching the meaning behind my action, look at her instead.
Gong meets her eyes with a measured stare, before sighing and pointing to her brother. Almost immediately, the girl’s eyes turn soft again. As she moves over to our side, she positions herself the closest she possibly can to the chair that her brother will be sitting in.
Which is also extremely close to where I will be standing. Something that is slightly uncomfortable to me, considering she’s going to be a budding necromancer.
Nonetheless, the boy walks over to the chair, sharing a look with his sister, before sitting down. Treating this like any other healing, I begin by sending my energies through him. First thing I discover is that his name is Cheng. I then find other aspects about him that is interesting.
It appears that unlike his sister, he’s relatively normal. Makes me wonder what type of relationship they have. He seems to respect her, yet also be extremely protective of her.
As the last of my energies flow through him, like many of the other demi humans, he glances behind him in shock.
Unlike the others, the first person he stares at is his sister, rather than me. His sister levels a look at him, showing something that I can’t seem to discern. Giving a gulp, he then looks to me and bows his head, deferentially.
He then repeats the same words his sister had said. Albeit, in a less refined way.
From there, surprisingly, the rest of the healings goes very similarly to the initial ones. From what I can tell, the lion man had a big part to do with that, besides the way that the kids had reacted.
Not one death or paralysis happened.
Leaving me to wonder when the next ball will drop.
