Bai Yanfei's family members all attach great importance to the results of Bai Yanfei's spiritual root test.

Since Bai Yanfei didn't contact them, they assumed she hadn't been tested yet.

Bai Yanfei's father only learned that his daughter had no spiritual roots when his colleague told him about it.

When he heard the news, he didn't believe it and even thought the other party was joking: "Don't joke around, how could Yan Fei not have spiritual roots?"

"Yanfei hasn't told you about this yet?" His colleague smiled and said, "But the fact that Yanfei isn't qualified has already become a trending topic. However, according to the news online, there are very few people with spiritual roots among those who took the test. Many people think that there is a problem with the testing equipment. Now all the testing sites have contacted the research institute, and we are just waiting for their reply."

Seeing that the other party's words did not seem to be false, Bai Yanfei's father's expression changed slightly.

He immediately contacted Bai Yanfei and went online to learn about the testing situation in other places.

When he learned that the research institute had responded that there was no problem with the testing equipment, his heart sank even further.

Soon, the rest of the Bai family also learned about this.

They all felt that the problem lay in the manufacturing of the instrument itself.

Bai Yanfei's grandfather sent her a message: "Now that this matter has blown up so much, Ling Luo will definitely need to respond. Let's ignore it for now and go home."

Bai Yanfei was basically certain that the tester itself was faulty. After seeing the message, she replied, "Okay."

Although many people online believe that the testing equipment itself is faulty, those who have already come to queue up still choose to continue with the testing.

After Bai Yanfei's two friends finished the test, one had a four-elemental-root aptitude and the other had a five-elemental-root aptitude.

Given their martial arts qualifications, they all thought they should have dual spiritual root qualifications.

Seeing that they only had this much talent, they were disappointed, but considering that most people, including Bai Yanfei, did not have spiritual roots, if the testing device was working properly, their talent results already surpassed those of 90% of the people.

Thinking about it that way, they actually felt a little happy.

Especially... they actually outshone Bai Yanfei.

Thinking of this, they restrained themselves before comforting Bai Yanfei, saying, "This... may not be the final result, Yanfei, don't worry."

"Yes, I know."

Bai Yanfei could see the joy in their eyes.

My dissatisfaction instantly reached its peak.

Their martial arts aptitude is two or three levels lower than hers, so how could their spiritual root aptitude be better than hers?

This is certainly not the final result.

Once the tester issue is resolved, she is confident that her qualifications are at least three levels higher than theirs!

After testing for more than half an hour, it was found that there were very, very few people with spiritual roots.

This news spread throughout the entire galaxy in an instant.

Although the research institute said that there was no problem with the tester.

However, many people online now believe that Lingluo may have made some mistakes during the production process, which led to this result.

Immediately, many people flocked to Lingluo, Yexingxue, Yefeng, and the research institute's official accounts to report the problem, urging them to contact Lingluo immediately, convey the issue to her, and have her check the instrument as soon as possible.

However, many rational netizens said: "The Crown Princess has developed so many physical fitness testing devices in the past without any problems, and I believe there will be no problems this time either."

"Yes, although I may also lack the aptitude for cultivation, to be honest, given the Crown Princess's style of doing things, I think it's highly unlikely that she would make a mistake on such an important matter..."

"Yes, that's why I feel really sad right now, because I really want to cultivate immortality, sob sob~"

Many people don't even have spiritual roots.

Among the test results, most of those with spiritual roots had five or four spiritual roots, with no more than five having three spiritual roots, and only one having two spiritual roots. As for mutated spiritual roots, single spiritual roots, and chaotic spiritual roots, there were none at all...

What are these proportions?

Many people are unwilling to accept this result.

There are just too many people reporting this problem.

Night Snow and Night Wind received the message quickly.

They never doubted Ling Luo's abilities in this area.

Upon receiving the news, they all knew that it couldn't possibly be that the test beads themselves were faulty.

However, they still told Ling Luo about the news.

Ling Luo looked at them and said, "In the past, a spiritual root was an existence that only appeared once in ten thousand or even tens of thousands of people. A single spiritual root was even rarer, appearing only once every few hundred or even a thousand years. As for my chaotic spiritual root, it is said that it might not appear even once every million or tens of millions of years—"

Perhaps it was precisely because her spiritual root was so rare that her master became greedy and tried to possess her body during her tribulation.

At this point, Ling Luo said, "I'll go up and respond."

Night Snow and Night Wind paused for a moment: "Even if you respond, they may not believe you."

Ling Luo didn't care and said, "Whether they believe it or not is their business. I don't owe them anything."

Ye Xingxue smiled and said, "Okay."

Ling Luo quickly responded online: "I know about the news online. But there's nothing wrong with the test bead. If there were any problems, I would have discovered them immediately during the refining process, so please rest assured. Regarding the proportion of people with spiritual roots, it used to be one in ten thousand, or even lower. But when I tested my father and the others, they all basically had spiritual roots. I thought that after seventy or eighty thousand years of evolution, the proportion of people with spiritual roots had increased, but now it seems to be about the same as before. The better the spiritual root, the rarer it is. Mutant spiritual roots are okay, but single spiritual roots are called celestial spiritual roots because people with single spiritual roots are considered the darlings of heaven, and perhaps only one appears every few hundred years. As for chaotic spiritual roots, they are even rarer, said to appear only once every million or even ten million years..."

Netizens were stunned by Ling Luo's replies.

"Holy crap, is that so?! It turns out that not only chaotic spiritual roots, but single spiritual roots are also this rare?!"

"So, the test results are fine? But... but I still can't accept it..."

"Me too! I really want to cultivate immortality too, sob sob~"

"You haven't tested it yet, have you? There's still a chance."

"Yeah yeah……"

Bai Yanfei has already taken the qualification test, and her family is closely monitoring the news online.

The Bai family simply did not believe Ling Luo's response.

"Hmph! How could the tester be without problems? In my opinion, Ling Luo is trying to keep something from us."

I think so too.

Bai Yanfei clenched her hands, still unable to believe, and unwilling to believe, that it was real.

But if Ling Luo wanted to keep something to herself, what could they do?

Just then, some screenshots were posted online.

It turns out that after the research institute uploaded cultivation-related knowledge to the app yesterday, someone learned that Ling Luo's cultivation system was cultivation. He remembered that he had once read a miscellaneous book in which the author said that his grandfather, who studied ancient Earth culture, said that they had found some clues related to ancient martial arts in two newly unearthed ancient artifacts.

The book says that this ancient martial art is called "Xiuzhen" (修真). According to records on cultural relics, Xiuzhen was probably a cultivation system developed by primitive people hundreds of thousands of years ago.

This cultivation system was incredibly powerful in very primitive and ancient times.

However, because people with the aptitude for cultivation are extremely rare, and those with exceptional aptitude might only be found once every few hundred years, much knowledge about cultivation gradually began to be lost. After a long period of evolution, before the arrival of the interstellar age, records related to cultivation on ancient Earth had almost become legends...

According to the book's author, his grandfather and his family believed that cultivation was just a type of ancient martial arts.

There was a significant cultural gap between their interstellar era and their primitive ancestors who lived on ancient Earth. They did not find any further relevant information, and since they were not particularly interested in ancient martial arts, they did not conduct any further research on this discovery.

This news quickly attracted the attention of many people.

People in the interstellar age place more emphasis on cultivation and the advancement of modern technology.

Many people don't pay much attention to ancient Earth cultures.

This event was in the news more than a thousand years ago.

However, at that time, everyone looked down on ancient martial arts, and this news did not attract much attention.

Even if someone notices it, they won't be interested.

Upon hearing this news, some people specifically searched for it and actually found the news from that time.

After reading the news, netizens were even more confused.

"So, what the Crown Princess said is true, spiritual roots really are such a rare existence..."

But some people don't believe it: "Perhaps the Crown Princess did this deliberately after reading the book or watching the video?"

"Yes, it's still possible, isn't it?"

However, some people disagreed: "The Crown Princess rarely goes online. Even for those of us who frequently use the internet, it would take a lot of effort to find such old videos. Besides, those books aren't famous at all. How could the Crown Princess have read them?"

"That's right, it's not your fault that you don't have spiritual roots, but your filthy and dark heart is your own problem."

At this point, some people disdained arguing and rationally said, "If cultivation were truly something that almost everyone could practice, like our martial arts system, how could it have been so easily lost? Why didn't our ancient Earth ancestors, who were close to the interstellar era, cultivate? Since no one has mentioned it for the past tens of thousands of years, there must be a reason."

"That seems to make sense. So, it's very likely that the skill was gradually lost because there were too few people with the aptitude for cultivation?"

"So, the reason the Crown Princess is able to cultivate must be because she has exceptional talent?"

"I think so?"

Thinking of this, many people went to Ling Luo's account to inquire about Ling Luo's qualifications.

Before Ling Luo could reply, someone sent a screenshot saying, "The reason why cultivation has been lost for tens of thousands of years is probably not only because there are very few people with spiritual roots, but also because the process of cultivation is extremely difficult and dangerous."

There are many kinds of books for beginners in cultivation.

There's a ton of content.

Moreover, many of the words combined are extremely obscure and difficult to understand in the eyes of interstellar humans.

Many people need to spend half an hour to roughly understand the meaning of half a page.

After only a short period of research, many people already found it very troublesome.

Therefore, even if many people do research, they might just flip through the pages randomly, but they won't look at them very carefully.

Now, seeing the pictures that person posted, they read the content of the pictures and found that it said that having four or five spiritual roots is actually a very poor aptitude. Most people can draw qi into their bodies, but the possibility of reaching the sixth level of the Qi Refining stage is not high. Moreover, the lifespan of the Qi Refining stage is only a little over a hundred years.

Those with three or two spiritual roots have a much higher chance of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage, but the proportion of those who can reach the Golden Core stage is extremely small.

The Foundation Establishment stage has a lifespan of only about two hundred years, while the Golden Core stage has a lifespan of about five hundred years.

Cultivation speed is extremely fast with a single spiritual root, and there are no bottlenecks in forming the core. One can form a nascent soul, but whether or not one can successfully form a nascent soul depends entirely on one's comprehension, effort, and opportunity.

As for mutated spiritual roots, their cultivation speed is similar to that of single spiritual roots, but there is a bottleneck period in Core Formation. Whether one can form a Nascent Soul still depends on individual comprehension, effort, and opportunity.

The Nascent Soul stage cultivators have a lifespan of about a thousand years.

Regarding the Chaos Spiritual Root, Ling Luo wrote in the book: "It is said that only one Chaos Spiritual Root appears every million or tens of millions of years. Apart from the fact that cultivating one type of spiritual root will increase the cultivation of other attributes, there are almost no other related records. However, based on personal experience, the lightning tribulation that a Chaos Spiritual Root has to endure when advancing to a higher realm is ten times, or even dozens of times, greater than that of other spiritual roots."

The person who posted the screenshot added, "According to the information I just found, it seems that cultivators have to endure a lightning tribulation when advancing in cultivation. This lightning tribulation is when, during the advancement process, multiple bolts of lightning (yes, you read that right, the kind of lightning we usually see in the sky) continuously strike the cultivator. If they can withstand the lightning attack, they successfully pass the tribulation; otherwise, they fail. Those who fail suffer at best severe injuries, or even a regression in cultivation, making the next advancement much more difficult, as it's said the lightning tribulation will be more severe the next time; in severe cases, they die. Therefore, every advancement for a cultivator is extremely risky!"

Upon seeing this information, netizens were completely stunned.

"Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! So the Crown Princess has a Chaos Spiritual Root?! Ahhhhh, that's awesome!!!!"

Knowing that there are so few people with spiritual roots, and that chaotic spiritual roots are so rare, how could everyone not be excited?!

"A Chaos Spiritual Root! My God, it truly is a miracle that only appears once every million or tens of millions of years. If it weren't for the Crown Princess's appearance, the cultivation world might never have known that there was such a powerful system in ancient martial arts, and many of us might not even exist today!"

"Yes, if it weren't for the Crown Princess having a Chaos Spiritual Root, I doubt anyone in our interstellar space would have survived the Zerg invasion more than half a month ago!"

"Holy crap, cultivators have to endure being struck directly by lightning from the sky to advance in cultivation?! Is this for real? Even iron couldn't withstand that, let alone a human?!"

"That's right, it's so difficult and dangerous for cultivators to advance in cultivation. Just looking at it is terrifying!"

"Yes, yes, yes, just imagining it makes me piss! But the Crown Princess already has a lifespan of about ten thousand years, which means she must have reached the Refinement of Void or Integration stage? My god, that's incredibly rare talent! This cultivation speed is amazing!!!"

"Damn it, I finally understand why the Crown Princess is so amazing. She's truly blessed with exceptional talent!"

"Me too, so even if we have spiritual roots, even if we have heavenly spiritual roots, reaching the Nascent Soul stage is not an easy thing? In that case, I suddenly realize that we martial artists are quite lucky."

"Yes, yes, I think so too. I suddenly felt relieved. Even if I had spiritual roots, I wouldn't dare to cultivate immortality."

"Yeah, I suddenly understand why the cultivation system was lost. Damn it, cultivators were probably all struck by lightning and died!"

But some people said, "Who knows if the Crown Princess is just deliberately spreading alarmist rumors?"

"That's right..."

Upon seeing these replies, someone commented, "Since you don't believe it, and if you happen to possess spiritual roots, then go and cultivate yourself. Nobody's stopping you. Even if you don't have spiritual roots, there are still quite a few people with them. In the future, a small number of people will definitely choose to cultivate after weighing their martial arts aptitude and cultivation aptitude. Whether what the Crown Princess said is true or not, we'll see in the future. After all, no matter how powerful the Crown Princess is, she can't cover up the entire interstellar space with one hand, right? Anyway, I think based on the Crown Princess's past behavior, she wouldn't be such a petty person."

"I agree. I suddenly find her even more amazing and mysterious now, and I like her even more. Moreover, it's said that the tribulation requires a cultivator's resilience and mindset to succeed. If one does bad things, it's easy to develop inner demons, leading to failure in the tribulation!"

"Holy crap, is this for real?"

"It's true. You'll see when you keep reading books about cultivation. I think even without spiritual roots, reading these books is quite interesting—mysterious and full of philosophy. If the Crown Princess wrote them all, then I think she's incredibly amazing, hahaha~"
