"Exactly, but it's just a mere talent, not as good as alchemy." Mu Qianyu's answer was still honest.
Ji Tianming was embarrassed to point it out. It seemed that only masters could be called attainments, while people at the bottom like them could only be called meager in strength.
Then the two of them began to line up. This was a relatively flat mountainous area. It was supposed to be a lush forest, but now there was only a dry mountain left. It seemed that they were all roasted to death by the Golden Crow Essence Fire.
Because Ji Tianming always wanted to maintain a straight face, he did not take the initiative to chat with Mu Qianyu this time, but pretended to look in all directions casually.
At this time, summer has just passed, and it is the time of autumn. The weather is already hot, and it gets even hotter when it is roasted by the fire. It is obviously difficult to queue up at this time.
Fortunately, they arrived late. Many people had already signed up before, so it looked like it would only take about half an hour.
Mu Qianyu was shaking the folding fan in her hand, listening to the two people in front of her chatting to pass the time.
"By the way, brother, have you heard the recent rumors about the Empress of Zhou Dynasty?" One of the middle-aged men with a beard suddenly said.
Mu Qianyu was already drowsy due to the adverse effects of the hot weather and not sleeping well in the morning. Hearing this, he couldn't help but move his eyebrows, becoming a little interested.
After all, she didn't expect to hear her own gossip so far away. She had heard a lot of gossip before, most of which revolved around her private life.
Of course, the most discussed thing is the speculation about the child's biological father. Of course, there are also many rumors.
As her position gets higher and higher, such rumors become more common, but I don't know what version it has turned into now.
"I haven't heard that the child's biological father has been found?" Another man immediately expressed interest.
Even Ji Tianming, who was watching the excitement, turned around and listened carefully through Mu Qianyu.
"It's not that, there are rumors that she has a super spiritual root." The bearded man said in a serious tone.
"Super-grade spiritual roots?"
As soon as these words came out, people from almost a few kilometers around looked over. As monks, these people have extremely sensitive ears.
The Super Spiritual Root is so legendary that no matter what the people around you were thinking or talking about just now, their thoughts were immediately captured when they heard these words.
Super-grade spiritual root? The spiritual root that was suppressed by heaven because it was too heaven-defying?
"No wonder her fighting power is so terrifying, but doesn't the super-grade spiritual root not live past the age of eighteen?" the bearded man opposite asked.
"Logically speaking, I can't survive. I'm able to survive probably because of some secret technique." The bearded man continued.
"But how can the secret technique compete with God?" Ji Tianming said: "If you put it this way, wouldn't it mean that Emperor Zhou is covered in wounds and won't live long?"
Mu Qianyu touched her nose. At this moment, the meridians in her body were expanding at a speed that she could perceive, like branches spreading.
A main crack is branching forward step by step, and its spreading speed is dozens of times faster than when the crack first appeared.
As she got older, the moths in her body became more and more violent, but fortunately, the countless luck in her body was still enough to fill the gap.
She didn't care much about it, she just wondered who had spread the news?
She was used to rumors and rumors, but when people discussed the facts, she was caught off guard.
"Is this true?" People around were still discussing.
"Of course, I also heard that Mu Qianyu was a useless person who couldn't practice before he was seventeen years old. When he was seventeen years old, he suddenly started practicing and grew up so fast. What else could he be if he wasn't a super-grade spiritual root?"
"I have long suspected that her fighting power is too strong. She can fight across realms with ease. Only a pervert with super spiritual roots can do this."
"It's true, but the super-grade spiritual roots are suppressed by heaven, so how can we fight against heaven."
"Yeah, how can we survive this fight?"
"In this way, the Emperor of Zhou will lose his deterrent effect on the surrounding countries. How can an emperor who does not know when he will die become an overlord?"
"Yes, if the rumors are confirmed, the emperors of the surrounding dynasties will no longer be afraid of her, and the world will soon be in chaos again."
"It should have been like this a long time ago. How can a woman rule our first dynasty in Dongzhou?" A middle-aged man said angrily.
"What are you talking about? What's wrong with women? If you don't accept it, go ahead and challenge me." A female alchemist in the crowd said unjustly.
Hearing this, the man said in a cold voice: "Competition, I can't be afraid of a woman. She didn't come today. If she came, I would definitely compete with her in making elixirs in public."
"Competing with an emperor in making alchemy, how can you, a grown man, be so shameless?" the other women said in dissatisfaction.
"Who stipulates that the competition is about cultivation." The man raised his chin and said: "It's just about alchemy. Ten of her can't be my opponent if they compete together."
"Shameless..." There were constant mutterings and eye rolls from women in the crowd.
Mu Qianyu was standing not far behind the man, but it was impossible for her to care about such a trivial matter in a place like this, and she was now more thinking about the consequences of this matter being spread.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that no one will pay attention to super spiritual roots, because sooner or later they will die.
This should be the purpose of the person who spread the news, first to make all countries unconvinced and despised, and then to achieve the purpose of unified attack on her.
She needs to find out the culprit and get rid of him first before things escalate.
While she was planning, another quarrel broke out ahead.
She looked up, and it turned out that the man who had previously said in public that he wanted to compete with her in alchemy had come to the registration table and was quarreling with the girl in charge of filling out the registration form.
"You are a person who looks down on women, so what if I just roll my eyes at you?" The girl who filled out the booklet was pretty, and when faced with the man's questioning, she looked cold and spoke righteously.
"Little girl, you really don't know how high the sky is. What does it have to do with you if I scold the Empress of Zhou?" The man looked naughty and didn't plan to sign up. It looked like he was going to keep messing around.
The woman still said coldly: "You slander women, so what if I don't like you?"
"Little girl, let's fight if you don't accept it." The man rolled up his sleeves and said, "How dare you look down on me even if you just fill out the registration form? I don't think I'll give you a good look today."
The woman raised her head and said, "I am a disciple of Bailu Academy, how dare you?"
There were several scholars from White Deer Academy beside him. When they saw this situation, they immediately rushed forward and protected the woman behind them.
"Don't be so arrogant in the important place of the academy!" One of the young and handsome scholars sternly stopped him.
"I'm so bold today!" The man said and rushed forward.
