Chapter 344 Three Children with Spiritual Roots
Xiao Han repeated it dutifully, "Of the five spiritual roots, the purity of the gold, wood, and earth spiritual roots is above average, while the purity of the water and fire spiritual roots is below average."
Although Wu Lin was very disappointed, he felt that something was better than nothing, so he thanked Xiao Han on behalf of his daughter.
Xiao Han waved her hand and asked the little girl to move aside, and she continued to test the child behind her.
Even if she could test one person in half a minute and a hundred people in an hour, it would take more than three or two days to test all the eligible children in the city.
With the assistance of the City Lord's Mansion steward, the children who have completed the test will be taken away immediately, and the process is quite fast.
However, at the end of the day, apart from Wu Lin's daughter, no other child was found to have spiritual roots.
The testing continued until dark, and Xiao Han ended the test for today and asked the children who had not been tested to line up again the next day.
After returning to the guest room, Xiao Han didn't care about the pitifully thin spiritual energy here, and began to meditate and practice to restore his energy.
After all, it is very tiring to keep testing all day long.
The next day, there was another mechanical test.
After working for half a day, Xiao Han was just about to ask Wu Lin to test it so that he could take a break, but the spirit-testing disk reacted again.
A golden light, a green light, and a crimson light, three colors of light rose from the spirit-testing plate.
The onlookers now knew that only when the disc lit up did it indicate spiritual roots. But the disc never lit up again, and everyone was growing bored. Then, the spirit-testing disc suddenly responded.
Xiao Han looked at the spirit-testing plate and said, "The three spirit roots of gold, wood, and fire, the purity of the spirit roots are all above average, which is very good."
The one with the three spiritual roots was a ten-year-old boy from a commoner family. His parents were extremely excited and rushed over to thank Xiao Han incoherently.
The people around were all talking in low voices, their eyes filled with envy.
Xiao Han had already thought about this. If a mortal child was found to have spiritual roots and was willing to follow her, she would keep him by her side first, and then bring him back to the headquarters of the Loose Cultivator Alliance after the trip was over.
No matter what, these children wouldn't starve to death. When they grew up a little and gained some skills, they could support themselves by running errands or doing odd jobs.
Xiao Han continued to test the spiritual roots of other children. Beside her, Wu Lin was also worried about the future of this child. He wondered what he would do if Xiao Han only focused on testing and didn't care about the future of these children with spiritual roots?
Should I ignore it and let it fend for itself, or should I do it as a favor and personally send the child to the fairy mountain?
In short, there was no way he would let such a child stay in Lingyun City.
He is already ninety years old this year. In the remaining twenty to thirty years, he will devote himself to training his daughter Wu Yue to become the next lord of Lingyun City.
If this child stayed in the mortal world, it would be a huge hidden danger to his daughter.
Among the cultivators who have entered the fairy mountain and still miss the mortal world, those who want to become local emperors like him are extremely rare.
Xiao Han decided to rest for half an hour at noon before continuing the test.
The little boy's family had been standing by, waiting. Just like Xiao Han back then, after the excitement, they were left with a state of confusion.
Because they don’t know where their children should go to practice or who to teach them.
Everyone in Lingyun City knows that there are many immortal cultivators in the fairy mountain. The problem is that they don’t know how to let their children enter the fairy mountain and integrate into it.
When Xiao Han stopped the test and prepared to take a rest, Wu Lin was even more anxious than the other family and couldn't wait to ask Xiao Han about his arrangements for the boy.
Xiao Han told the boy his plan. The boy's father was overjoyed and held the boy's head down, saying, "Nie Yong, kowtow to the fairy and become her disciple."
Xiao Han waved his sleeves and used his spiritual power to stop the little boy Nie Yong from kneeling.
She said to Nie Yong's father, "You're mistaken. Although I will teach him the most basic methods of drawing Qi into the body and help him embark on the path of cultivation, I will not accept any disciples. He can call me senior, but he cannot call me master."
Xiao Han had no intention of accepting a disciple, no matter how good his spiritual roots were. She didn't have enough energy to discipline a disciple, nor did she want to take advantage of him.
Nie Yong's father was very disappointed, but the other party also said that he would help his son practice, so he felt relieved.
Xiao Han would have to stay in Lingyun City for several days, so she asked Nie Yong to go home and stay with his family for a few days, and then take him with her when she left.
She and Wu Lin took turns to do the remaining tests, and finally they could feel a little more relaxed.
Thinking about her own plan, with so many children in the mortal kingdom, wouldn't it be too much work for her to go and test them alone?
Fortunately, Xiao Han made a decision immediately. As for the tests in other counties, he would take things as they come.
Even with Wu Lin's help in the testing, he was busy from dawn to dusk every day, and it took more than ten days to test all the eligible children in Lingyun City.
In addition to Nie Yong, another child with mixed spiritual roots of the five elements was detected.
The child's parents were reluctant to let him go away, and the family had quite a bit of assets, so they tentatively asked Wu Lin if he was willing to take the child as his apprentice.
Wu Lin actually agreed very readily.
He did not choose Nie Yong, who had three spiritual roots, but chose this child instead. Naturally, he had his considerations.
Once Nie Yong successfully draws Qi into his body and learns the method of cultivation, even with his favoritism and support, his daughter's progress will definitely not be comparable to the other party's. What if, after his lifespan runs out and Nie Yong develops evil intentions and wants to seize Lingyun City, how can his daughter resist?
But this child with five spiritual roots was different. Even if he accepted him as his disciple, his cultivation resources would definitely be given priority to his daughter Wu Yue.
Both of them have mixed spiritual roots, and the other will always be a knife in the hands of his daughter, and will not have the power to betray her.
As an old father, Wu Lin is very concerned about his daughter and has considered every aspect of her life.
Xiao Han naturally had no objection to the child's family's choice.
After working in Lingyun City for more than ten days, we finally managed to roughly screen all the children of school age here.
In such a city, only two children with spiritual roots were found. It must be said that there are very few children with spiritual roots among mortals.
As for Wu Yue, she has spiritual roots, most likely because her father is a cultivator, so she is able to have spiritual roots.
After the spirit test was completed, Xiao Han was about to take Nie Yong away from Lingyun City.
Before leaving, Xiao Han took out two defensive talismans used by foundation-building cultivators and several attack talismans with the attack power of foundation-building cultivators, and gave them to Wu Yue.
She hoped that the future female lord of Lingyun City would be able to rule Lingyun City smoothly and ensure that Lingyun City would have peace for at least a hundred years.
It doesn’t matter who becomes the mayor of Lingyun City. What’s important is that there is no drastic change of regime in Lingyun City so that the people of the city can live and work in peace.
