   The first book features a lightning-based spiritual root and its mortal realm chapters seem to combine plot and leveling-up elements. The female lead is currently young, a soft and sweet child at home, but outwardly possessing a cool and decisive personality. It's a traditional cultivation story with no romantic pairing. The second book features a female lead whose true form is a divine beast, a white tiger. She extracted the male lead's spiritual root and used a secret technique to transform into a human. The female lead didn't transmigrate; she awakened memories of her past life, so she highly accepts her divine beast identity. She's both righteous and evil, with a somewhat aloof personality.

She has many hidden cards, and her beauty is unmatched. The author's writing is superb! You'll have to read it yourself to know how good it is. The second book meets your requirements. The female lead has a mutated ice spirit root, a cold personality, and is independent and strong. The structure of the story is similar to the first book, and it's also good. I'm too lazy to introduce the third book. Overall, it's a funny and enjoyable read, ranking first in this genre. All three books feature strong female leads. Words can't fully express how good they are; you have to experience them for yourself to know.

    Reader note

    ① Gu Ningyun's **top-grade wind spirit root** (mutated spirit root) and decisive, independent personality perfectly match your requirements. After transmigrating into the book, she avoids the original female lead's pursuit, joins the Xiaoyao Immortal Sect, and develops comprehensively from sound cultivation to sword cultivation, displaying a calm yet carefree spirit. The "Three Paths of Xiaoyao" setting in the book is also very interesting, possessing both the rigor of cultivation and the transcendence of worldly affairs. ② Li Shu awakens a **top-grade mutated ice spirit root** after rebirth, rising from a family outcast to a prodigy. Although the synopsis doesn't directly say "cold and aloof," the domineering aura of "silencing all the prodigies of the clan" and the growth trajectory supported by the system indicate that the female lead is the type who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. If you like face-slapping and satisfying stories, this book's pace will be very enjoyable. ③ Xuan Lingqing's image as a saintess "untainted by dust" directly points to her cold and aloof character. Although the book doesn't explicitly state her spirit root type, the setting of "talent surpassing all prodigies" is similar to the effect of a mutated spirit root. If you prefer aloof, unattainable heroines, this book's "charming and unromantic" plot will appeal to you. ④ Qu Weiqi's **top-tier ice spirit root** and her talent for dual cultivation of sound and sword are impressive. Although her personality leans towards the confidence of a genius, her calm and decisive side is revealed in the sect storyline's plot of "reversing the evil cultivator's conspiracy." The ensemble writing style without romantic pairings also allows the story to focus more on the heroine's growth.
