My Farming-Style Cultivation Is Way Too Steady - Chapter 537
Chapter 536 Cultivating Immortality Cannot Be Judged by Common Sense!
Xu Changqing knew all the personal information of the eight people.
Two members of prominent families: Shen Jinghan and Su Yanzhi
Two wealthy businessmen: Gu Chengyu and Liu Mingyuan
Three civilians: Zhao Hu, Chen Nian, and Fang Xiaosheng
Lin Xiaoman, an impoverished individual
Among them, the two most noteworthy individuals are Zhao Hu, who possesses exceptional talent in martial arts, and Liu Mingyuan, who is highly sensitive to spiritual plants and talismans.
Zhao Hu came from a commoner background. His father was a middle-aged martial artist, so he began to learn about martial arts at a very young age and unexpectedly learned it very quickly.
Whether he has spiritual roots or not is unclear, but at least his innate qualities are not bad.
As for Liu Mingyuan, he came from a wealthy family and, by chance, came into contact with spirit talismans and spirit plants, and was able to sense the subtle changes within them.
As for the others, their first impressions were rather average.
Xu Changqing didn’t waste any words. He took out a spirit root stone from his ring and then said loudly, “Everyone, come forward in order and touch it with your right hand.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Jinghan, who was standing in the front row, was the first to walk out.
The outcome is unclear, but the scions of prominent families must not fall behind others.
Upon approaching, Shen Jinghan raised his hand and pressed it against the spirit root stone. The moment he touched it, he first felt a cool aura enter his body, then flow back and forth, as if searching for something.
Feeling the gazes of the people in front of him and behind him, he straightened his back.
However, her tightly clenched lips revealed that she was still very nervous inside.
Three breaths passed, and the spirit root stone remained as still as a stagnant pool, without even a glimmer of light.
Even the cool sensation that lingered within the body became increasingly faint over time.
Shen Jinghan’s expression changed slightly. He subconsciously gripped the spirit root stone tightly, his knuckles turning white rapidly, but there was still no change: “How…how could this be…”
He visibly panicked, finding the outcome unbelievable.
Xu Changqing said expressionlessly, “Next.”
Shen Jinghan was visibly panicked, his voice pleading, “Please let me try one more time.”
Before Xu Changqing could speak, Hu Bugui said first, “Spiritual roots don’t just appear by testing them a few more times. Go back.”
Shen Jinghan lifted his foot several times before finally turning around with difficulty and returning to his original position dejectedly.
Seeing his good friends acting this way, Su Yanzhi felt quite nervous.
However, he had been exposed to talismans since childhood. His father and grandfather said that this could increase the probability of developing spiritual roots. Although they didn’t know if it was true, it was still more likely than Shen Jinghan’s.
However, when Su Yanzhi placed his right hand on it, the spirit root stone still did not react at all, and the cool aura that entered his body disappeared even faster than a good friend.
Su Yan was startled and doubtful. He gripped a fragment of a talisman tightly in his other hand and prayed silently in his heart. Unfortunately, the result was the same, and the spirit root stone still did not react.
Xu Changqing said calmly, “Next.”
Su Yanzhi was momentarily distraught, then staggered and turned to walk back.
When their eyes met, they both saw the resentment in each other’s eyes.
Who would have thought that two scions of noble families who had been exposed to cultivation items since childhood would be the first to be eliminated?
“Is this all the scions of noble families have?”
Zhao Hu sneered from behind.
Suddenly, everyone looked at him.
Shen Jinghan’s face darkened: “You…”
Su Yanzhi grabbed her friend and advised, “Let’s wait for the results.”
Seeing everyone staring at him, Zhao Hu simply stepped forward. Because he had practiced martial arts since childhood, he was quite muscular. As he moved forward, he shouted, “My turn!”
His father was a martial artist, and he himself had exceptional talent in martial arts.
In his view, spiritual roots were nothing more than something he could easily acquire.
From now on, I will completely distance myself from my father and will not follow in his footsteps.
The moment his palm pressed heavily onto the spirit root stone, Zhao Hu vaguely heard various exclamations of surprise.
However, one second, two seconds, three seconds… the spirit root stone remained unchanged.
Xu Changqing announced the result directly: “You have no spiritual root.”
“impossible!”
Zhao Humeng instantly lost his composure, staring wide-eyed and questioning, “Is this broken stone damaged?”
My father said my innate talent is one in a hundred years, how could I not have spiritual roots!
Xu Changqing ignored his lapse in composure and urged, “Next.”
Zhao Hu completely lost his previous smugness. The calluses on his palms, which should have been a symbol of martial arts talent, now became irrefutable proof that he was destined to be an immortal.
Shen Jinghan chuckled coldly, his face darkening.
Zhao Hu lowered his head and remained silent.
Three consecutive failures left Gu Chengyu pale as he stepped forward.
I have never shown any talent since I was a child.
The only advantage is that the family is rich, with lots and lots of money.
He carefully placed his right palm on it, and unsurprisingly, the spirit root stone remained silent.
Despite feeling disappointed, I inexplicably felt a sense of relief.
She was in much better shape than the previous people; at least she didn’t cry.
Yes, someone cried.
Zhao Hu stood there, clenching his fists. His face flushed with shame and indignation. Then, thinking of the boast he had made and his father’s expectations, his eyes suddenly welled up with tears.
Now, not only have I failed to become a cultivator, but I’ve also offended some powerful families.
Once the spiritual root test is over, the result is self-evident.
However, nobody cared about this guy at all; after all, he brought it on himself.
Soon it was the fifth person’s turn, Liu Mingyuan.
The moment his fingertips lightly touched the spirit root stone, the cool energy that had entered his body seemed to have discovered something and converged at an extremely fast speed towards a certain location.
At the same time, the spirit root stone, which had been dormant for a long time, suddenly emitted a faint blue light.
“Water Spirit Root!”
My dear reader, there’s more to reading—even more exciting content awaits!
The boys and girls stared wide-eyed.
When Zhao Hu saw this, he cried even more bitterly.
Xu Changqing and the other two exchanged glances: “Finally, one.”
Hu Bugui nodded: “I thought we would come up empty-handed this time.”
Liu Mingyuan’s previous tension has now turned into ecstasy.
The trembling of the spiritual plants and the faint glow of the talismans, which were imperceptible to others, were ultimately not illusions.
I do indeed have a spiritual root, and it’s a water spiritual root.
Xu Changqing asked, “Liu Mingyuan, right?”
Liu Mingyuan nodded quickly: “Yes, it’s me!”
Xu Changqing pointed to the spot to the side: “Stand over there.”
Liu Mingyuan didn’t understand at first, but after walking over and facing Shen Jinghan, Su Yanzhi, Zhao Hu and the others, he suddenly understood what it meant.
It turns out that I am no longer on the same path as them.
Next, Chen Nian and Fang Xiaosheng stepped forward one after another, but unfortunately, neither of them reacted to the spirit root stone.
Chen Nian appeared calm, but her fingertips were twitching slightly.
Fang Xiaosheng shook his head with a wry smile, then stepped back and silently picked up the books.
Now, the scions of noble families, the sons of the wealthy, and the sons of commoners have all passed the test, and only one out of the seven has been found to have a spiritual root.
Now, only a girl born into extreme poverty remains, named Lin Xiaoman.
He was short and thin.
His skin was a bit sallow, and he looked malnourished.
Her faded white shirt stood out starkly against the backdrop of those around her.
Only when Xu Changqing’s gaze swept over her did she timidly step forward.
“Judging from her appearance, I doubt it.”
“Not necessarily, she was handpicked from among the poorest of the poor!”
“We’re living such a good life and no one has detected spiritual roots, how could she?”
Lin Xiaoman pretended not to hear what the outsiders were saying; this wasn’t the first time she’d experienced something like this.
She slowly raised her right hand, which had become increasingly rough from years of washing clothes. The moment her index finger touched the spirit root stone, it suddenly burst forth with dazzling golden light.
It was even more intense than Liu Mingyuan’s blue light, and even the sound of the wind in the courtyard seemed to freeze for a moment.
Xu Changqing exclaimed in surprise: “It’s actually a Golden Spiritual Root!”
In recent years, the water elemental energy in the mortal world has become increasingly abundant, and more and more people have awakened water and wood elemental roots, while metal elemental roots have become a scarce commodity.
It’s unbelievable that a girl from extremely poor circumstances would be born.
Lin Xiaoman stared blankly at the spirit root stone emitting golden light in her palm, somewhat at a loss.
She had never even seen talismans or spiritual plants; the only reason she stood out was because she was poor enough.
For a moment, everyone who had been discussing things fell silent.
Xu Changqing exclaimed, “Indeed, the path to immortality cannot be judged by ordinary standards!”
