"Second Uncle, don't worry, I'm very content. I'm already extremely satisfied that I can Cultivate!"
Wang Lin said with a face full of appreciation, "Good, good, it's best that you think this way!"
After speaking, Wang Lin looked up at the outside of the house and said, "It's already night. Pack your things. After the Xu Family finishes recruiting disciples, you'll directly follow me back to the Xu Family."
"Okay!" Wang Baoling nodded.
There wasn't much to pack at home; he simply took some dry rations and clothes, preparing to leave.
A moment later, Wang Lin led Wang Baoling out of the Wang Family house, looking back and sighing, "Alas, this time, when the two of us, uncle and nephew, leave, I wonder when we will return home."
Wang Baoling wasn't that sentimental. He had only been in this world for a few months at most, so he couldn't claim to have deep feelings for the Wang Family ancestral home.
"Let's go!"
Wang Baoling followed his Second Uncle to the village entrance.
Although it was still dimly lit at this time, many people were already lining up.
"Immortal Master Wang, you've come so early!"
Wang Baoling turned his head and saw a beautiful woman dressed in a daoist robe and wearing a purple cloud hairpin.
"Young Miss Xu Lu, this is my nephew, Wang Baoling. He has a Five Elements Spiritual Root and can Cultivate!" Wang Lin proactively introduced.
Xu Lu looked at Wang Baoling with curiosity, then smiled and introduced herself, "My name is Xu Lu, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
"It's also a pleasure to meet you, Fairy!" Wang Baoling said with a smile.
As they spoke, a handsome man with a stern face walked over.
"Junior Martial Uncle Wang, almost everyone has arrived. We can begin the Spiritual Root test now!"
After speaking, the young man quietly glanced at Wang Baoling, his expression slightly warning.
Wang Lin seemed to have noticed the man's warning and introduced, "Junior Martial Nephew Xie Chen, this is my own nephew, Wang Baoling!"
Xie Chen quickly put away the threatening look on his face and said to Wang Baoling with a smile, "Xie Chen, please guide me more!"
Wang Baoling looked at Xie Chen, then at Xu Lu, and a look of understanding appeared on his face.
Huang Fan and Sun Changfeng in the distance saw Wang Baoling standing with the Immortal Master and quickly walked over to inquire, "Brother Wang, are you—"
"That's right, the Immortal Master responsible for recruiting disciples is my Second Uncle!"
"Second Uncle?" The two were stunned for a moment, then a look of envy appeared on their faces.
"As long as you have a Spiritual Root, you can also Cultivate!" Wang Lin said to the two.
"Good, good, good, we'll go line up!" The two stood at the back of the long line, their faces filled with excitement.
"Those over 60 years old, leave the line. Those who have participated in the Spiritual Root test before, leave the line!" Wang Lin said coldly to the chaotic crowd in line.
"Whoosh!" The number of people in line instantly halved.
Wang Lin nodded and said to Xu Lu and Xie Chen, "Let's start quickly!"
Xu Lu, Xie Chen, and Wang Lin split into three groups and began testing everyone's Spiritual Root.
"Put your hand on the Spiritual Root testing stone, you don't need to do anything else!" Wang Lin said to the crowd.
After several rounds of continuous testing, not a single person passed. The originally noisy scene became somewhat dull and oppressive.
Wang Lin didn't feel surprised or disappointed. Xie Chen and Xu Lu next to him also seemed to have gotten used to it.
Half a day quickly passed, and so far, there wasn't a single person with a Spiritual Root.
Soon, it was Sun Changfeng and Huang Fan's turn to test their Spiritual Roots.
The two excitedly glanced at Wang Baoling, then Huang Fan placed his hand on the Spiritual Root testing stone.
However, there was no reaction from the Spiritual Root testing stone.
"Try again!" Wang Lin said to Huang Fan.
The pale-faced Huang Fan extended his hand to the Spiritual Root testing stone again, but there was still no reaction from it.
"You don't have a Spiritual Root!" Wang Lin said expressionlessly.
Huang Fan walked to the side, looking utterly dejected. Sun Changfeng walked directly towards the Spiritual Root testing stone.
The Spiritual Root testing stone still showed no reaction.
"You still have two chances!" Wang Lin said with a smile.
Sun Changfeng didn't hesitate and placed his hand on the Spiritual Root testing stone again.
Half a day passed, and the Spiritual Root testing stone still showed no reaction.
"Hahaha, it seems I also don't have the Aptitude to Cultivate!" Sun Changfeng said with a bitter smile.
"From now on, let's focus on achieving official titles, marrying, and having children!" Huang Fan said with a bitter expression.
After speaking, the two looked at Wang Baoling and said, "Brother Wang, we wish you a smooth journey and a long life on the immortal path!"
"Thank you!" Wang Baoling clasped his hands in thanks.
Half a day later, everyone in the entire village had completed their tests.
Xu Lu said helplessly, "There really isn't a single person who can Cultivate!"
"xu lu, this trip wasn't in vain. At the very least, Junior Martial Uncle Wang's nephew can Cultivate!" Xie Chen said with a smile.
"Young Miss Xu Lu, Junior Martial Nephew, we will take our nephew back to the Xu Family first. You two can go test the remaining villages!" Wang Lin said.
"Good, good!" Xie Chen immediately agreed, seeing an opportunity to be alone with Xu Lu.
Xu Lu glanced at Xie Chen, then said, "Okay!"
Wang Lin nodded, then raised his hand and took out a carriage from his Storage Bag.
"Baoling, let's go!"
Wang Baoling curiously stepped onto the carriage, seeing four meditation cushion inside the carriage, which was also adorned with densely packed mysterious runes.
Wang Lin took out two Spirit Stones and pressed them onto the carriage.
The carriage quickly flew towards the sky.
Seeing this scene, Wang Baoling also showed a look of surprise.
"Alright, I'll now tell you about the situation of the Xu Family." Wang Lin said.
"Okay, Second Uncle!"
"Qingzhou has a total of four great Families: the Li Family, the Xu Family, the Chen Family, and the Feng Family!"
"Among them, the Xu Family and the Feng Family are the weakest, with only two Foundation Establishment Cultivators."
"However, the Xu Family has a Late Foundation Establishment Stage Old Ancestor, so they are not at the bottom."
"Besides that, the strongest forces in Qingzhou are the Taiji Immortal Sect and the Wanfu Sect. It is said that the Taiji Immortal Sect has a Golden Core Ancestor overseeing it, and the Wanfu Sect also has more than ten Foundation Establishment Cultivators."
"Apart from these, Qingzhou also has some other Families, but they either have no Foundation Establishment Cultivators or only one, making them not worth mentioning."
"The Xu Family is divided into three branches. The First Branch is Xu Guohui, who is also the Xu Family Clan Chief, with a Late Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation."
"The Xu Family Second Branch is Xu Jinghui, an Early Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator. That Xu Lu just now is his Granddaughter!"
"The Xu Family Third Branch is Xu Yuhui, at the Thirteenth Level of Qi Refining. Second Uncle, I belong to this branch."
Wang Baoling nodded. Since his Second Uncle said this, there must be conflicts among the three branches of the Xu Family.
"The Third Branch only has one son, Xu Fei, who is responsible for all affairs of the Third Branch. Xu Yuhui basically doesn't manage the Third Branch's matters!"
"Xu Fei and I are both Qi Refining Level Six Cultivators. He is a bit older than you, so you should befriend him!" Wang Lin instructed.
"Don't worry, Second Uncle!" Wang Baoling nodded.
Then, Second Uncle reiterated the important matters concerning the Xu Family's First Branch and Second Branch that needed attention.
