If You Have the Ability, Become a Spiritual Alchemist

"Chloe Zhu, are you really a Celestial Five-Element Root?" The Empress Dowager stood up and asked.

"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager." Chloe Zhu cupped her fists. "I am indeed a Celestial Five-Element Root."

As soon as she said this, everyone gasped, "She really is a Celestial Five-Element Root!"

"Oh my! This is my first time seeing a Celestial Five-Element Root! The Elemental Crystal looks so dazzling and beautiful!"

"In my whole life, I never thought I'd witness a Celestial Five-Element Root! My life is complete!"

......

Chloe Zhu added, "My Spirit Root only just appeared. No one in my family knows. Even I only discovered it recently. So, Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, I hope you'll consider my special circumstances and not sentence me to exile."

"It just appeared?" The Empress Dowager asked in surprise. "You're already grown—how could your Spirit Root only now appear?"

"I don't know either," Chloe Zhu replied. "Maybe... the Celestial Five-Element Root is just different from ordinary Spirit Roots!"

The Empress Dowager nodded, exchanged a glance with Colin Gu, and said, "Wonderful! My Blue Moon Kingdom has produced a Celestial Five-Element Root spirit practitioner! Hahaha! Excellent! This is truly marvelous!"

"Prime Minister," Colin Gu suddenly called out.

"At your service, Your Majesty."

"Change the exile law. Special cases require special treatment. Handle it as the situation demands."

Edward Zhuo let out a sigh of relief. "As you command, Your Majesty."

Sophie Sun stood there, her face ashen, looking utterly defeated.

She knew this would happen the moment Chloe Zhu revealed her Celestial Five-Element Root.

The High Kingdom values its affiliated states based on their spirit practitioner resources.

Every five years, the High Kingdom organizes a grand exam for all its affiliated states.

The affiliated state that wins the grand exam receives a massive boost in resources from the High Kingdom for the next five years.

So, no royal family would ever exile a Celestial Five-Element Root spirit practitioner!

If that really happened, she'd probably be snatched away by another country the moment she arrived...

......

When Chloe Zhu left the palace, she was surrounded by a crowd, everyone escorting her out in style.

On the road, she occasionally lifted the carriage curtain, and spotted Sophie Sun again.

Sophie Sun was covered in blood, her eyes dull as she rode on horseback, looking thoroughly miserable.

"Sophie Sun," Chloe Zhu called out.

She turned her head, her gaze dark and cold as she looked at Chloe Zhu.

"At the Royal Hunting Grounds, your brother used a hidden blade on me just to force me to reveal my cultivation, then punish me for it, right?"

Sophie Sun said nothing.

"Too bad... tsk tsk tsk, you didn't expect I'd turn out to be a Celestial Five-Element Root! The Emperor and Empress Dowager changed the law just for me!"

"Hmph!" Sophie Sun snorted coldly. "Don't get cocky! So what if you're a Celestial Five-Element Root? If you've got the guts, become a Spiritual Alchemist!"

"A Spiritual Alchemist, huh..." Chloe Zhu smiled.

She really did need to keep improving!

To cure her mother's cold poison, even an Eighth-Tier Alchemist wouldn't be enough...

"Let me tell you, without family connections or a famous mentor, you're just a slightly more talented spirit practitioner! You'll never become a true Spiritual Alchemist! Without that, you'll never get high-level elixirs. And without those, your talent is useless!"

Chloe Zhu nodded, "Mm, thank you for the advice, Miss Sun! Looks like I really do need to hurry up and become a Spiritual Alchemist."

"Hmph! Fine! I'll be watching." Sophie Sun sneered and spurred her horse away.

You think becoming a Spiritual Alchemist is that easy?

Even with a Celestial Five-Element Root, it's not easy to find a good teacher.

After all, every Spiritual Alchemist is exceptionally gifted.
