Fifth Spirit Root Test in Azure Stone Village

Time flies, and the years can never be held back.

Two months have passed in the blink of an eye, and it's early December.

Winter is more than halfway over, and the weather has become even colder. Snowflakes fall incessantly from the sky, covering the ground with a thick, white coat.

During this cold winter, the villagers of Azure Stone Village all stayed indoors.

Even though he was over a hundred years old and a cultivator, Ling Rufan still had to brave the cold wind and snow, riding Immortal Spirit Crane, to travel around the various places in An Yang County occupied by his Lineage, to distribute offerings to the clansmen stationed in the low-level spiritual mountains within the territory, and to harvest the mature Spirit Plant in these spiritual mountains.

On this day, Ling Rufan arrived at Azure Stone Mountain.

He had just jumped off the back of the Immortal Spirit Crane when he spoke to Ling Pengyun, who had been waiting there.

"Peng Yun, after this year, once the Spirit Root of the children of suitable age in Azure Stone Village are tested in January next year, you can return home. At that time, your offerings will return to normal, and will not be doubled as when you were stationed at Azure Stone Mountain. After you return to the Clan Mountain, you will still need to go to the Lineage's Affairs Hall at the beginning of each month to collect your monthly offerings as usual, until you are sent out by the Lineage again. These four hundred Spirit Stone are this year's Mine Dividends's profits."

After saying this, Ling Rufan took out four hundred Spirit Stone from his Storage Bag and placed them on the ground.

"I understand, Ninth Great-Grandfather." Ling Pengyun nodded and put the Spirit Stone on the ground into his Storage Bag.

After exchanging a few polite words, Ling Pengyun and Ling Rufan took out farming tools from their Storage Bag and began harvesting this year's ripe Spirit Plant in the six acres of Spirit Field on Azure Stone Mountain.

Ling Pengyun kept one-tenth of the profits from the two acres of Yellow Jade Spirit Rice harvested this year, intending to use it to feed the seven little Songhua Spirit Chicken, instead of selling the one-tenth of the Spirit Rice to the Lineage as in previous years.

After the Spirit Plant here were harvested, Ling Rufan, the elder of the Lineage, took out three small bags of seeds from his Storage Bag and handed them to Ling Pengyun, saying...

"Peng Yun, these are the three kinds of Spirit Plant seeds that will be planted in these six acres of Spirit Field next year. There are still more than twenty days before the next clansman arrives to guard this place. It would be a pity to leave these six acres of Spirit Field empty during this time, so I can only trouble you to do it."

Ling Pengyun said, "Ninth Great-Grandfather is joking. Planting seeds is not difficult at all; it's just a small matter and not worth the trouble."

"I'm leaving." Ling Rufan was extremely satisfied with this reply. He nodded slightly, said goodbye, and then climbed over the back of Immortal Spirit Crane on the side of the mountain, riding the Immortal Spirit Crane away from the mountain.

After watching Ling Rufan leave, Ling Pengyun immediately set off and carefully planted the seeds of Yellow Jade Spirit Rice, Qi Training Grass, and Sword Star Grass in the soil using a "Spirit Hoe".

After planting the seeds, Ling Pengyun scanned the Spirit Soil in the six acres of Spirit Field with his Divine Sense. He discovered that the Spirit Soil in the two acres of Spirit Field the Yellow Jade Spirit Rice was planted had been upgraded to the highest grade, "Grade A". He was also delighted that the Grade B Spirit Soil in the one acre of fields where Qi Training Grass was planted was about to be upgraded to Grade A.

"In the last twenty days or so, the Grade B Spirit Soil planted with Grade B Qi Training Grass should be upgraded to Grade A with the help of the three Earth-Turning Earthworm. At that time, if the Lineage has spare Spirit Stone, they can spend less Spirit Stone to use the Soil Nurturing Technique to upgrade the three acres of Spirit Field containing Grade A Spirit Soil to the First Rank Middle Grade."

"Even if we don't upgrade the grade of those three acres of first-class Spirit Field Spirit Soil, it will still be of great help to the growth of First Rank Low Grade Spirit Plant planted on those three acres of Spirit Field in the future."

"This is a fitting tribute to the three Earth-Turning Earthworm that my Lineage gifted me."

High-quality Spirit Soil not only helps Spirit Plant grow, but also greatly helps in improving the grade of Spirit Field.

For example, the six acres of Spirit Field on the top of Azure Stone Mountain were developed from 99% of the Spiritual Qi in the mountain's Spirit Vein.

The Spirit Vein here are already insufficient to support these six acres of Spirit Field in being upgraded to a higher grade.

At this point, if the grade of the Spirit Field is to be improved, it can only rely on the Soil Nurturing Technique of the Spirit Planter, plus the Spiritual Qi within a large number of Spirit Stone.

This method of upgrading the grade of Spirit Field is similar in principle to the "Spirit Raising Array" used to upgrade the grade of Spirit Vein.

The grade of Spirit Field is also related to the grade of the Spirit Plant that can be planted. Spirit Field of the same grade can only grow Spirit Plant of the same grade.

Ling Pengyun muttered to himself for a moment, then came to his senses. He made hand Hand Seals and Cloud Rain Technique to summon a large cloud that rained down drops of Spirit Rain to nourish the newly planted Spirit Plant seeds and stimulate their growth.

Twenty days is but a fleeting moment for a hard-working cultivator like Ling Pengyun. In the blink of an eye, it was January 1st of the following year.

January 1st marks the beginning of a new year and is also a big day for Azure Stone Village.

On this day this year, just like in previous years, all the eight-year-old children in Azure Stone Village Azure Stone Village outside the Ancestral Hall in the center of the Azure Stone Village, led by their parents.

Like a door god, the Village Chief "Ling Dong" stood at the gate of the ancestral Ancestral Hall, glanced at the children in the crowd, and saw that all the children who had turned eight this year had arrived. He then looked up at the sky and saw that it was "Si Shi" (9-11 AM), and loudly announced to the villagers around him.

"The time has come. The children who are to be tested for their Spirit Root should line up and enter the Ancestral Hall one by one so that the immortals can test their destiny for Immortal Fate."

Upon hearing this, the villagers of Azure Stone Village who had brought their children specifically to test their Spirit Root quickly called their children to line up in front of the ancestral hall.

Seeing that all the children who Spirit Measurement Spirit this year had lined up, Ling Dong turned around, pushed open the Ancestral Hall door behind him, and called the children in one by one.

But without exception, these children would all emerge from the Ancestral Hall not long afterward.

This scene gradually diminished the anticipation in Village Chief Ling Dong's eyes, made the parents of children who tested negative for Immortal Fate feel regretful, and made the parents of children around them who had not yet been Spirit Measurement Spirit very nervous, praying in their hearts that their children would have Immortal Fate.

Inside the Ancestral Hall.

Sitting at a small table in the center of the Ancestral Hall, Ling Pengyun, who was presiding over the Spirit Testing Convention in Azure Stone Village, saw that the little girl in front of him, who was tightly holding the Spirit Root Testing Stone, had not caused any changes in the Spirit Root Testing Stone. With a worried look on her face, she took back the Spirit Root Testing Stone and waved her away.

He has been stationed at Azure Stone Mountain for five years, and this is the fifth time he has presided over the Spirit Testing Convention. He has tested nearly 1,500 children in Azure Stone Village to see if they have Spirit Root, but he has only found one person with Spirit Root, a child named "Ling Shan" from many years ago.

After five years of stationing, Ling Pengyun has only identified one person with Spirit Root, which is not enough for him.

The Ling Clan is currently not very large, so having another member with Spirit Root would be a great help to the Ling Clan.
