With his gold element spiritual root, an offensive type, if he cultivated diligently, he would surely catch up to Huang Ying’s pace soon, or even surpass her. By then…
Seeing Lu Taobao grinning foolishly, everyone found themselves speechless and simply ignored him.
“Then let me get tested.”
Yue Qingxin stood up and walked quickly to Yizixie, extending her right hand.
Yizixie said nothing more and performed the same steps as before. After a while, everyone knew that Yue Qingxin had a water element spiritual root.
Next was Sima Han. Sima Han had a fire element spiritual root.
The two were husband and wife, yet one was water and the other fire. It was unclear whether to call it a match made in heaven, complementing each other, or…
After them came Zheng Wei.
Zheng Wei was a little worried. What if he didn't have a spiritual root…
Despite this worry, Zheng Wei still stood up gracefully and walked to Yizixie.
Yizixie wasted no time. Knowing that Zheng Wei, outwardly calm, must be under some pressure internally, he decided it would not be wise to tease him at this moment.
After a swift test, Yizixie’s heart almost relaxed at the same time as Zheng Wei’s.
Looking at the shimmering light on the demon spirit orb, Yizixie thought, no matter what kind of spiritual root it was, at least he should have one.
However, the result was indeed beyond Yizixie’s expectations.
Seeing the shocked expression on Yizixie’s face, Zheng Wei’s heart tightened again, and his voice grew colder, “What is it?”
Perhaps sensing Zheng Wei’s displeasure, Yizixie suppressed the shock on his face, clicked his tongue enviously, and then said, “Congratulations, you are the one with the best spiritual root among all of you.”
“What is it?” Zheng Wei’s eyes deepened, flashing with a dangerous glint.
He knew very well that Zheng Wei was impatient now, yet he was still so hesitant. It seemed Yizixie didn't want an easy life in the future.
“It’s the lightning element spiritual root,” Nammuchang said enviously from the side.
“Lightning element spiritual root? Isn’t it gold, wood, water, fire, and earth?” Lu Taobao, who was still happily grinning, asked curiously upon hearing this.
“This is why I say congratulations. Normally, spiritual roots are gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. However, some people are favored by heaven and are deeply blessed. Their spiritual roots mutate, making them much stronger, or many times stronger, than ordinary people,” Yizixie paused as he spoke, then looked at Zheng Wei enviously, “Just like Zheng Wei’s lightning element spiritual root, it is the most powerful in terms of attack among all spiritual roots.”
After listening to Yizixie’s explanation, everyone in the room looked at Zheng Wei with envy. They never expected him to be a favorite of heaven.
“Then let me test it too,” Shen Xiaoyan said, walking forward.
Yizixie nodded and, without continuing his previous topic, began to test Shen Xiaoyan.
However, when Shen Xiaoyan’s blood dripped onto the demon spirit orb, it fell directly off, instead of merging into the orb like others.
“What’s going on?”
Before Shen Xiaoyan could speak, Zheng Wei blurted out in disbelief.
Shen Xiaoyan was also a little confused. What was happening?
Did it mean she had no spiritual root?
Yizixie really wanted to answer directly that she had no spiritual root, but seeing the murderous look in Zheng Wei’s eyes, he swallowed his words.
“Let’s test it again,” Nammuchang said with uncertainty.
“Okay.” Yizixie was also a little disbelieving. He had seen Shen Xiaoyan’s strength just now. With such formidable abilities, she couldn’t possibly be just an ordinary person?
Yet, the fact was that after three more tests, Shen Xiaoyan’s blood still wouldn’t merge into the demon spirit orb.
Zheng Wei looked at Shen Xiaoyan with a complex gaze. Could it be that Mimi really had no spiritual root? Although Mimi was already very powerful without a spiritual root, he still wished she could be even more powerful. Only then, if he wasn't by her side in the future, could she protect herself and their children.
Shen Xiaoyan also felt a sense of loss. She really wanted to cultivate. Thinking about flying in the sky, it was so cool.
Unfortunately, it was definitely out of her reach now.
“Big sister, I’m back. What are you all doing?”
As everyone in the room was in silence, Shen Xiaoming’s voice was heard.
As Shen Xiaoming spoke, he had already walked into the room. He saw the palm of Shen Xiaoyan’s right hand bleeding and immediately ran forward, taking Shen Xiaoyan’s hand to examine it carefully, saying, “What’s wrong? How did sister get injured?”
“Xiaoming is your younger brother. Why don’t you ask him to test it and see if he has one too? If he doesn’t, then it proves… If he does, it might be because your spiritual root is special and can’t be detected,” Nammuchang suggested. She had already felt the atmosphere in the room was a bit awkward and didn’t know what to do. It was just timely that Shen Xiaoming returned.
If Shen Xiaoming also had no spiritual root, then at least Shen Xiaoyan would have a companion.
If Shen Xiaoming did have a spiritual root, then as she said, perhaps Shen Xiaoyan’s spiritual root was special and this demon spirit orb couldn’t detect it.
This situation was not unheard of. After all, this was just an ordinary demon spirit orb.
There were much more advanced ones used for testing spiritual roots.
“What spiritual root? What are you talking about? Brother-in-law, why aren’t you bandaging sister’s hand?” Shen Xiaoming said accusingly to Zheng Wei.
“Xiaoming, sister is fine. First, let Yizixie test you. I’ll explain later, okay?”
Hearing Shen Xiaoyan say so, Shen Xiaoming could only nod, though his expression remained a little angry. His sister didn’t take care of herself enough.
Yizixie quickly tested Shen Xiaoming. As Shen Xiaoming’s blood came into contact with the demon spirit orb, the orb emitted a dazzling green light.
“It’s a wood element spiritual root.”
Yizixie’s voice held a hint of indescribable emotion.
Shen Xiaoming had a spiritual root, and it was a wood element spiritual root. This was originally a good thing.
But why couldn't his own sister, Shen Xiaoyan, be tested?
“Xiaoming is really amazing,” Shen Xiaoyan said, patting Shen Xiaoming’s shoulder comfortingly.
“What is this?” Shen Xiaoming asked blankly.
He had been startled when the demon spirit orb emitted light just now, and now Shen Xiaoyan was saying he was amazing, which made him even more confused.
Shen Xiaoyan explained what Yizixie had said earlier to him, and then said, “Xiaoming is truly amazing. If you cultivate diligently in the future, you can protect sister.”
When Shen Xiaoyan finished speaking, Shen Xiaoming, knowing that he could be very powerful in the future, showed a look of ecstasy on his face.
However, he looked at Shen Xiaoyan worriedly, pursed his lips, and said, “Then why doesn’t sister have one?”
Shen Xiaoyan smiled at him gently, “Because sister is already very powerful and doesn’t need a spiritual root.”
Shen Xiaoming was half-believing Shen Xiaoyan’s words and then looked at the others.
The others had already seen Shen Xiaoyan’s warning gaze, so they all chimed in, saying that Shen Xiaoyan was already very powerful now and would remain so even without a spiritual root.
Hearing everyone say this, Shen Xiaoming’s heart finally relaxed. He then clenched his fist and vowed, “I will definitely cultivate well. The safety of sister and my nephew will be left to me.”
“Alright, then sister will wait for you to protect us,” Shen Xiaoyan also smiled happily.
Although Zheng Wei was a little worried that Shen Xiaoyan might be unhappy internally, seeing the sincere smile on her face, he didn’t say anything, only thinking that they would talk properly later that evening.
“The spiritual roots have been tested. What about our cultivation techniques?” Lu Taobao continued to ask.
Yizixie put away the demon spirit orb, and with a flip of his wrist, a small booklet appeared in his hand.
