"What is Lingyuan?"
Ning Fan had a premonition that this term had something to do with Baby Hai's disappearance.
"Not everyone in this world can cultivate. Besides the mental method, the most important thing needed is..."
Ning Fan blurted out, "Spirit Root."
"Yes, exactly. Spirit Root."
Chen Min nodded, then continued, "We refer to people on Earth with Spirit Roots as Lingyuan."
Ning Fan was surprised and said, "Doesn't that mean Baby Hai is a Spirit Root possessor?"
"Fellow Daoist Ning, who is this Baby Hai you're speaking of?"
"Baby Hai is my friend."
Saying this, Ning Fan explained the situation.
"So that's how it is."
"Sorry."
Ning Fan apologized, "I really had no choice. I could only come here to find you."
Chen Min's eyes shifted, meaningfully saying, "Are you suspicious that I took your friend away?"
"That's not it."
"Then why?"
Chen Min asked with interest, unusually persistent in pursuing the question today despite her usual reticence.
"Well..."
