Er Ya didn't understand this, and continued to press on the remaining three light spheres, but still none of them lit up.
"Er Ya, check again."
Lu Xuanji said, perhaps the light sphere malfunctioned.
Er Ya tested again, and still only one light sphere lit up.
Seemingly not assured, she checked continuously five more times, and it was still the same.
Celestial Spirit Root.
It was thoroughly confirmed.
This wasn't an issue with the light sphere; it was indeed true.
Lu Xuanji was dumbfounded.
It felt like thunder was about to be struck, felt like it was going to explode.
Celestial Spirit Root, equivalent to the Innate Full Soul Power in the Douluo World, the Chaos Body in the Heaven-Covering World.
In the Douluo World, as long as one with Innate Full Soul Power doesn't fall halfway, the worst future is becoming a Soul Fighter, and with a bit of effort, a Sealed Title Douluo.
In the Heaven-Covering World, as long as one with a Chaos Body doesn't fall halfway, they are destined to become a Great Emperor.
As for a certain Celestial Emperor saying there's no invincible physique, only invincible strong ones, the strongest Mortal Body, it's just motivational nonsense used for self-hypnosis for a spirit victory, anyone who takes it seriously is a fool.
In the Cultivation World, Spirit Roots are very important.
Especially the Celestial Spirit Root, akin to being heaven's favored child.
The Celestial Spirit Root is terrifying; it only needs one to two hundred years for a Celestial Spirit Root to become a Golden Core Cultivator; other cultivators face various bottlenecks on their cultivation path, needing Foundation Establishment Pills, Purple Sun Jade, Li Fire Jade, Golden Core Pills, and other elixirs to break through bottlenecks, but Celestial Spirit Root cultivators face no bottlenecks before the Nascent Soul.
Other cultivators need to consume a vast amount of resources to become a Golden Core; but a Celestial Spirit Root, only needs half to a third of the resources of cultivators in the same realm to enter the Golden Core Realm.
Celestial Spirit Root, has features like fast cultivation speed, no bottlenecks before the Nascent Soul, and low resource consumption.
As long as the Celestial Spirit Root doesn't fall, it is almost certain to become a Golden Core Cultivator.
However, it is precisely because of this that almost half of Celestial Spirit Root cultivators fall halfway, killed by strong enemies.
Many hostile forces are trying to find ways to eliminate Celestial Spirit Roots.
If the news of Er Ya having a Celestial Spirit Root leaks, there might be a strong enemy coming to annihilate the clan tomorrow.
Lu Family paid tribute to the Dan Yang Sect, and Dan Yang Sect would also protect the Lu Family.
But all this is based on the premise of not having significant conflicts of interest; once there's a big conflict of interest, there are still forces that will bypass the rules of the Dan Yang Sect and attack the Lu Family.
"This is a big trouble."
Lu Xuanji's mind was in chaos, a bit panicky, a bit at a loss of what to do.
She opened the certificate, which wrote that Er Ya had Fire, Wood, and Earth Three Spirit Roots.
Handing over the certificate, Lu Xuanji said, "Er Ya, remember, you have Three Spirit Roots."
"Yes."
Er Ya nodded.
"What's the name of your parents?" Lu Xuanji asked.
"They sold me to someone else when I was young, I don't have any parents," the little girl said resentfully.
Lu Xuanji was silent, unsure of what to say.
The little girl still had some scars on her body, all inflicted by her grandmother.
Resentment towards her grandmother's family, but also a trace of gratitude.
Hate them for often beating her;
Yet also grateful, after all, her grandmother's family raised her.
As for her parents, she had long forgotten them and didn't want to deal with them.
Suppressing the restlessness in his heart, Lu Xuanji continued traveling around various places testing children's Spirit Roots, everything as usual, as if nothing had happened, using such behavior to cover up the appearance of the Celestial Spirit Root.
About a month later, Spirit Root testing ended, and two more children were detected.
With these seven children, Lu Xuanji returned to Purple Sun Mountain.
"Not bad, not bad, today there are seven, five children with Five Spirit Roots, one with Four Spirit Roots, one with Three Spirit Roots." The Grand Elder smiled: "Including the other counties, there are about thirty-two children with Spirit Roots. Not bad, not bad, this year's harvest is good, in the worst years of the past, there were only three or five."
"You will be their teacher, teaching them to read, write, identify acupoints and meridians, Washing Marrow and Shaving Hair, etc..."
The Grand Elder arranged the plan.
On one hand, they could use the three-year compulsory education to cultivate the children's loyalty to the clan; on the other hand, it could also allow Lu Xuanji to bond with these children, relying on each other in the years to come.
"Grand Elder, I have an important matter to report."
Lu Xuanji was speaking, "Please close the Cave Mansion and activate the array."
"An important matter."
The Grand Elder was slightly surprised, but still closed the Cave Mansion and activated the array to isolate everything, "Go ahead, what's happened, could it be someone was killed outside, needing me to clean up the aftermath."
"Grand Elder, during this Spirit Root test, I discovered a girl with a Celestial Spirit Root, it's a Fire Spirit Root. It's Er Ya."
Lu Xuanji said.
"Celestial Spirit Root, Er Ya."
"Oh my god."
The Grand Elder was shocked, directly throwing the cup on the ground, shattering it on the spot.
Whew whew.
The Grand Elder disregarded everything else, breathing heavily: "Is it true?"
"It's true, I tested several times."
Lu Xuanji said.
"Then test again." The Grand Elder directly decided.
Soon, Er Ya came in.
The Grand Elder took out eight crystal balls, testing again, and the result was indisputable, Fire Element Celestial Spirit Root.
"I'll summon the Patriarch."
The Grand Elder said.
Saying this, the Grand Elder disappeared.
A moment later, the Clan Leader appeared.
"Is she the one with the Celestial Spirit Root?" Clan Leader Lu Tianming asked.
"Yes."
The Grand Elder said.
The Clan Leader Lu Tianming stepped forward to check, sighing after a long time: "What a pity, she doesn't have our Lu Family bloodline."
"Er Ya, Xuanji, you may leave."
The Grand Elder said.
"No, Er Ya leave, Xuanji stays." The Clan Leader said.
Thus Er Ya left.
In the Cave Mansion, there were only three people left.
"Eldest Brother, this is a great creation." The Grand Elder Lu Tianyi said excitedly, "Eldest Brother is already Ninth-Layer Foundation Establishment, with only a ten percent probability of advancing to the Purple Mansion Realm, but if we offer the Celestial Spirit Root child to the Dan Yang Sect, we will certainly receive two pieces of Purple Sun Jade. Each piece of Purple Sun Jade has at least a thirty percent chance. Two pieces mean sixty percent. With two pieces of Purple Sun Jade, Eldest Brother can achieve the Purple Mansion Realm. Even if the Ancestor passes away, the Lu Family will still be secure and without worry."
The Clan Leader Lu Tianming was silent.
Celestial Spirit Roots are highly sought after everywhere.
Giving her to the Dan Yang Sect for two pieces of Purple Sun Jade is not a problem.
With two pieces of Purple Sun Jade, there's a high probability of achieving Purple Mansion.
Currently, he is Ninth-Layer Foundation Establishment, already one hundred ninety years old, at most in thirty years he will pass away.
But after achieving Purple Mansion, the lifespan increases to four hundred eighty years, and he can live at least two hundred more years.
Sending Er Ya to the Dan Yang Sect is very good for the clan, very good for him, it can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
But Lu Tianming hesitated.
"Seventh Brother, what's the use of me achieving the Purple Mansion? My aptitude is limited, and the maximum would be Purple Mansion Fourth Layer at best, not even as good as Lu Fuming Ancestor." Lu Tianming said calmly, "Why not keep Er Ya in the Lu Family, with Lu Family resources and Er Ya's talent, she can reach Golden Core in two hundred years, and our Lu Family will be a Golden Core Family."
"By then, with Er Ya helping, Xuanji will also have a great chance of entering the Golden Core Realm. At that time, the clan may give birth to dozens of Foundation Establishment Cultivators, five or six Purple Mansion Cultivators, and two Golden Core Ancestors, and the Lu Family will truly enter its glory days. Even the Dan Yang Sect will have to look at the Lu Family differently."
"This is much more long-term than a one-off trade."
