She looked down at her hands.
'What was that?'
She possessed Wood and Fire Dual Spirit Roots.
But she had never heard of any old Wood Spirit Root being able to make a tree instantly blossom.
In the book she wrote, that was an ability only monstrous cultivators who had reached the Great Grandmaster level could possess.
'Could it be because of the Spirit Stone?'
'No, that can't be it. The original Su Ye she wrote was just cannon fodder, meant only to provide the protagonist with the Spirit Stone.'
'She couldn't possibly have an ability like that.'
As she was lost in thought, a tremendous BANG suddenly echoed from the western forest.
The sound was so loud it made the ground tremble.
She heard the panicked voices of the servants and guards at the gate.
"What's going on?"
"What was that? What made that noise?"
Someone spoke dismissively.
"It's nothing. We've been hearing that noise on and off for years now."
"Relax, it's no big deal. Everyone, get back to your duties."
