I'll Take You Heavenly Spirit Roots On!

The Xinghai Continent has been mired in chaos for many years.

Through endless cultivation, evolution, and ascension, cultivators have cast aside too much in their pursuit of the ultimate path: desire, compassion, love and hate, life...

Now they're close to the gods, but far removed from humanity.

The things they can never reclaim have left permanent marks on their bloodlines, becoming irreparable flaws and sources of pain. The only way to ease them is to find uncontaminated flesh Tai Sui.

-- And then make it part of their bones, blood, and souls.

Lin Qi: "Um, what's flesh Tai Sui?"

"It's someone without a spiritual root who has never cultivated. Tch, what era are we even in? How could someone like that exist? If they did, they'd have been sucked dry long ago."

"Hahahaha, so I'm delicious."

Lin Qi, who had just transmigrated, laughed, then laughed until she cried.

Isn't there something wrong with making an ordinary person like her fight every cultivator on the continent?!

#What's wrong with being an ordinary person without a spiritual root?!

#I'm up against the whole world, so can't you cut me some slack?!

-- Living on with courage is the greatest medal of all --

Short scene:

Lin Qi had no idea what a Heavenly Spiritual Root was like, until the day she and someone shared a bed, and something wrapped around her leg.

"Wait! No, no, no!"

She raised a hand, rolled out of bed, and expertly backed away three meters. Staring at the smooth, unruffled blanket, she fell into thought.

"It felt like something inhuman just wrapped around me."

The person lying on the pillow looked over at her. Their face was flushed, their whole body ripe with desire. They pressed their lips together, still moist, their breathing uneven. Loose hair veiled their brows and eyes, revealing only a smile that grew wider and wider.

"That was me."

"That's what a Heavenly Yin Spiritual Root is like. Didn't you know?"

She didn't! How could nobody have written down something so important in a book?!

Only later did Lin Qi learn that people with Heavenly Spiritual Roots were all just a bunch of lunatics who were close to the gods but far removed from humanity.
