All beasts submit, and the peerless imperial princess is about to defy the heavens!

The pain lasted for about half an hour, and Feng Ning felt as if all the blood vessels in her body were about to burst.

At this moment, she could understand what it meant to have her bones and muscles broken.

She was drenched in sweat until all the pain subsided.

She got up from the ground, her face pale. "What else needs to be done?"

The man waved his hand, and a vortex of spiritual energy appeared beside Feng Ning, with her in the center of the vortex.

"You can try absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy."

Feng Ning didn't know how to absorb it either, so she just sat up cross-legged and let out a long breath.

She had intended to calm herself down first, but suddenly, she felt something rush into her body.

She opened her eyes in surprise, only to feel a continuous flow of energy gathering in her dantian.

Is this what they call absorbing spiritual energy?

It doesn't seem as complicated as she thought...

These spiritual energies seem to be quite obedient, drilling into her body on their own.

She immediately became happy, smiled, and looked up at him, saying, "Thank you."

The man paused for a moment, then quickly regained his previous languid and indifferent demeanor. "Why thank me? This is the condition for our exchange."

Feng Ning immediately looked away.

"Then I should thank you."

This person was the first to change her life, and she should thank her properly.

Even from a single transaction, I have benefited greatly.

She thought to herself that when he told her what she needed to do, she would do her best to do it.

The man flipped his wrist, and a very beautiful stone appeared in his hand.

He waved a white beam of light at her and said, "Stop for a moment and come over here to test your talent."

Feng Ning immediately felt the pain in her body disappear.

"What did you do? I think I don't feel pain anymore."

The man explained good-naturedly, "This is my innate ability: healing."

Feng Ning immediately became interested and quickly walked to the table, looking at the stone.

"What should I do?"

She also wanted to have that ability to regenerate indefinitely!

The man seemed to have read her thoughts. “There are about ten types of talents. There are the five basic elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. There are also some rare and mutated talents: wind, thunder, light, darkness, and ice. Talents are called talents because they are innate. You can’t just awaken whichever one you want.”

Feng Ning was speechless. So that's how he saw through her?

You could say the man was observant, or that she couldn't hide her own thoughts.

"Alright, alright, let's just let things take their course."

The man pushed the stone forward slightly. "This is a test stone for testing talent. Mobilize the spiritual power in your dantian and inject it into the test stone to find out which element you belong to."

Following his instructions, Feng Ning mobilized her spiritual power and placed her hand on the stone.

The stone quickly began to shine.

The man's expression changed, and with a wave of his hand, a protective shield instantly formed, isolating the commotion inside.

Feng Ning was startled by his action.

"What...what happened?"

She looked at the light shimmering on the stone with some trepidation; there were three small points of light, one white, one blue, and one black.

what does this mean?

She cast a questioning look in his direction.

The man laughed out loud, "I've never seen anyone like you before."

"Is this good or bad?" Feng Ning asked somewhat nervously.

She was also feeling uneasy.

But a voice in her head kept telling her, no, this should be good news.

The man replied, "Most people in this world can only awaken one type of talent, and some can't even awaken one type. Those with two types are already geniuses. People like you with three types are extremely rare. You are a genius among geniuses. You are lucky."

Feng Ning was overjoyed, "Does that mean my talent is very good?"

"Ice, wind, and dark elements are all extremely powerful; they're either rare or possess mutated talents. What do you think?"

Only now did he take a proper look at this ugly girl.

Such extraordinary talent.

He is indeed a rare talent.

If they could follow him, he would have one more great general under his command.

With that in mind, I couldn't help but make a few more plans.

"You have great talent, but it's not suitable for you to show it off."

Upon hearing his words, Feng Ning suddenly realized what he meant.

Isn’t it?

A tall tree catches the wind!

Since it's a talent that only geniuses among geniuses possess, she should just lie low!

Showing off one's talent too early will only bring trouble.

Just like the spiritual veins in her body, weren't they taken away because they were too good?

She can't very well test other people's desires, can she?

Having lost their spiritual veins, haven't they learned their lesson? Do they still want to rely on their talents now?

The thought of the lost spiritual vein and her current predicament dampened her joy somewhat.

He then asked, "Do you have any way to help me conceal my talent?"

The man smiled and casually tossed her a bracelet.

"This is a spatial bracelet that can conceal your talent and can also be used for storage, so I'm giving it to you."

Feng Ning gave him a grateful look. "Thank you."

At that moment, all she could do was thank you.

The man didn't have any other thoughts; he just felt that this person had good talent and it would be good if he could have him as his subordinate in the future.

Consider it as building up your talent pool.

Since we're building a talent pool, we can't skimp on the good stuff.

He then took out a whole bunch of things from his own space.

"Here are some spirit stones. You'll need them for your cultivation later. Take them and use them for now. As for weapons and cultivation techniques... what do you like?"

Feng Ning looked completely bewildered.

"Boss, are you trying to kill me with something amazing?"

The man smiled, "It's quite useful, isn't it?"

With so many good things being thrown at them, they've even started calling him "boss."

It seems that this clown girl also acknowledges him as her master.

He cheerfully took out a cultivation manual from his spatial storage. "You're an ice-type cultivator, so this manual should be quite suitable for you. Take it and use it. Also, this is a speed-type cultivation manual. You're a wind-type cultivator, so it's not bad either."

Feng Ning took the cultivation manual and saw that it was titled "Frost Technique" and "Illusion Technique".

She asked curiously, "What grade is this?"

"Saint-level!"

"Thank you so much, boss!" She wished she could become sworn brothers with him.

How can there be such a good partner?

They'll give you money and the cultivation method.

She really got a great deal.

The man was in a good mood. "Then you should cultivate diligently. When you reach the Golden Core stage, you can work for me."

Feng Ning nodded.

Unfortunately, the two of them meant completely different things.
