Dual Spirit Root Ling Wanchuan

On the other side.

Halfway up Clan Mountain, a large number of people were gathered outside the ancestral hall.

Most of these people were children. Ling Pengshan, the current Clan Head of the Ling Clan, was also there, standing in the main seat among the children.

His gaze swept over the eleven seven- or eight-year-old children before him, his eyes gleaming with a sharp light, and a hint of joy appeared on his face.

This was all because the eleven children in front of him were all those whose Spirit Root had been measured and brought into the Clan Mountain by the Lineage from the towns and villages under its jurisdiction this year.

The number of people born with Spirit Root among mortals this year is more than double that of previous years.

"The Lineage's more than 500,000 mortals have finally put their strength to use."

"The current shortage of manpower in the Lineage will definitely be filled within the next thirty years."

"Now, it all depends on whether the Eighth Brother can take over the Muddy Swamp Territory occupied by the Golden Core Demon Beast Swamp Giant Crocodile Clan."

"If this matter succeeds, it will formally solidify our clan's foundation, and our clan will also have some ability to independently cultivate Golden Core cultivators, becoming a true Golden Core Family."

Normally, Golden Core Family can only be called Golden Core Family if it has a Golden Core True Person in charge and a Third Rank Spirit Vein.

However, since Golden Core Force are rare in the Northern Wilderness Cultivation World, a force can generally be called Golden Core Force as long as it has a Golden Core True Person in charge.

After all, even without Third Rank Spirit Vein, a force with Golden Core True Person cultivator in charge is considered a top-tier force in the Northern Wilderness Cultivation World.

After regaining his senses, Ling Pengshan led the eleven children one by one into the ancestral hall to test their Spirit Root using the second-order Spirit Measurement Array inside.

Before long, the Spirit Root of five children were tested and revealed.

However, without exception, all five children had poor aptitude, possessing only the aptitude of four or Five Spirit Root.

However, things took a turn for the better when a little boy named Ling Chuan, with yellowish skin, bright eyes, dressed in hemp clothing, and from a small village in the Ling Clan Territory, entered the Spirit Root Testing Array inside the ancestral hall.

At the core of the Spirit Root Testing Array, two of the five jade pillars, each a foot long and arranged according to the five elements, emitted spiritual light from their bases, one green and the other blue.

Before long, the bluish-green light rose to eight inches above the stone pillar.

Although the light blue aura was relatively weak, it still rose to about six inches above the stone pillar.

Upon seeing this, Ling Pengshan, who was in charge of the Spirit Root Testing Array, immediately broke into a wide smile.

"Eight inches of wood Spirit Root aptitude, six inches of Spirit Root aptitude... dual Wood-Water Dual Spirit Root. With this aptitude, as long as the Lineage focuses on nurturing him, this child will definitely be able to enter the Late-Stage Foundation Establishment, and even the Consummation Realm is not impossible. In the future, this person can also become a pillar of the Lineage. He is truly a talent."

"Moreover, with such Spirit Root configuration, this child is an excellent candidate for Spirit Planter. If the Lineage successfully expands that vast Muddy Swamp Territory, there will definitely be a shortage of Spirit Planter. The appearance of this child is just the right time to prepare for the future."

"This is truly a joyous and happy occasion!"

As Ling Pengshan pondered this, he couldn't help but chuckle twice.

"Ha ha ha ha!!"

The little "Ling Chuan" in the Spirit Root Testing Array saw Ling Pengshan's eyes shining and looking at him with a happy expression, and guessed that his immortal roots might be better.

For a moment, a hint of joy appeared on Xiao Ling Chuan's face.

To confirm this, he immediately inquired.

"Immortal Elder, is my immortal root considered to be of a relatively high quality?"

Ling Pengshan only came to his senses when he heard the question.

He didn't hide anything and kindly explained to Xiao Ling Chuan, "From now on, don't call me Immortal Elder anymore. You belong to the Wan Generation among the five generations of the Ling Clan: Yun, Xiao, Peng, Cheng, and Wan. From now on, your name will be Ling Wanchuan. According to the order, you are the fifty-fourth in the Wan Generation..."

"My name is Ling Pengshan. According to seniority, I am your great -Ancestor. From now on, you can call me Grandfather Peng Shan."

"As for your cultivation level, it is indeed quite good. You have Dual Spirit Root of wood and water. Among the more than two hundred members of my Ling Clan, your aptitude would rank you close to the top ten."

"However, you must not become arrogant because of this, and slack off on your path of cultivation in the future."

"Talent is important, but without diligent practice, it is difficult to reach a higher level."

"As for the benefits brought by the realm, there are many, but for us cultivators, the most important thing is lifespan."

"Qi Refining can live for at least 120 years, Foundation Establishment can live for at least 200 years, and Golden Core True Person can live for as long as 500 years."

"Wan Chuan, do you want to live a long life? Or do you want your parents to live a long life?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ling Wanchuan's face immediately lit up with excitement.

His mother, who lived a simple life, had suffered from a chronic illness for many years.

Even though his unfortunate mother was rewarded by the Ling Clan because he was found to have Spirit Root, she was given a "Immortal Pill" that cured her incurable illness.

However, that stubborn illness had ravaged his mother's body for many years, so although the illness was cured, his mother's lifespan was also greatly reduced as a result.

According to the Ling clan Ling Clan Qi Refining cultivator who discovered his Spirit Root, his mother had at most twenty years left to live.

His mother is thirty years old now and will probably only live to be fifty.

In the Cultivation World, mortals can live to around eighty years old on average.

Even though Ling Wanchuan was young, he still had a sense of what it meant to die young—a lifespan of thirty years.

He didn't want his mother, who had suffered from chronic illness in the first half of her life, to only enjoy thirty years of this wonderful world before leaving in haste.

His honest father, who had spent his entire life working in the fields, spent all the money he earned on his mother's chronic illness and never enjoyed any of it.

Immediately, Xiao Ling Wanchuan made up his mind, and a determined look appeared on his slightly immature face as he solemnly said.

"Grandfather Peng Shan, I want to live a long life. I want my parents to enjoy the world's splendor and live to be a hundred years old."

Seeing that his intentions had been achieved, Ling Pengshan's smile widened. He patted Ling Wanchuan on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Good lad, you have ideas. Cultivate diligently in the future. Whether your ideas can come true depends on yourself."

"Alright, you can leave the ancestral hall now. Let the next child enter the ancestral hall to test their Spirit Root."

Xiao Ling Wanchuan's expression hardened, he nodded slightly, and silently took some heavy steps, slowly walking towards the ancestral hall gate.

Ling Pengshan, still inside the ancestral hall, watched Xiao Ling Wanchuan's departing figure with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

"He's a good kid, and he has a good character."

"Although this child is not from Lineage cultivators, given his temperament, there should be no problem placing him in the Lineage's core."

"However, we cannot rush this matter. We need to observe the child's behavior first. If the child's character changes in the future... then he will no longer be worth the Lineage's focus on cultivating."

Soon, Xiao Ling Wanchuan's figure disappeared from the ancestral hall, and in his place, a seven or eight-year-old girl entered the ancestral hall.

As usual, Ling Pengshan guided the spirit to the Spirit Root Testing Array and used it to test the Spirit Root Testing Array Spirit Root of the spirit.

After five such tests, all the children in the mortal realm who possessed Spirit Root this year had their Spirit Root attributes accurately determined.

Most of them had the aptitude of four or Five Spirit Root, but only Xiao Ling Wanchuan, who had the Dual Spirit Root of "wood and water," had a relatively good aptitude.

However, Ling Pengshan was quite satisfied with the result.

After all, these eleven children were all of ordinary background.

Children born into ordinary families are generally less gifted.

Among this group of people, Ling Pengshan was already satisfied with the fact that Xiao Ling Wanchuan, who was born with Dual Spirit Root.

After testing the Spirit Root of these eleven children, Ling Pengshan, whose lifespan was nearing its end and who had no heart for cultivation, personally settled these eleven members of the Wan Generation in Lingxiao Mountain.
