But she also has to be careful, otherwise she might capsize accidentally.

Given Kong Shuning's personality, it was impossible for her to follow Luo Jun obediently to complete the task, so when she arrived at the foot of the main peak, she just walked away.

Before leaving, she glanced at Qingbao, and then sent a message to Yichang, who was wrapped around his wrist: "Please take good care of Qingbao for me."

Just before entering the secret realm of Yao Chi, Yi Chang woke up.

Every time he sheds his skin, it is actually equivalent to an advancement, but his strength is suppressed outside, and he has no idea which level he has actually broken through to.

But after entering the secret realm, he clearly felt that he was now equivalent to a third-level monster! His strength was comparable to that of a Jindan-stage cultivator.

Yichang: "Don't worry, with me here, no one can hurt Qingbao."

Shen Yizhi looked at Luo Jun again and left worriedly.

Luo Jun brought Qing Bao all the way to Hefang Tower on the main peak, where the mission was handed over.

At Hefanglou, a man with white beard and beard but a baby-like face was sitting behind the counter. He was lying on the counter and fiddling with a palm-high puppet out of boredom.

There are many small parts scattered around.

It looks like it's trying to put the pieces together.

Luo Jun led Qing Bao over and knocked on the counter, "Uncle Qu, I'm here to hand in the task."

Qu Changle then raised his head, still holding the puppet in his hand, and said, "It's Brother Luo, give me the mission card."

The task card contains a detailed description of the task and the deadline for completion.

Luo Jun took out a white jade tablet and handed it over.

Qu Changle took it, probed inside with his spiritual sense, and exclaimed, "Didn't you go out to recruit disciples? How come you're back so soon? Where are your disciples?"

He took a quick look and didn't see if she had brought anyone back.

Luo Jun picked up Qing Bao and sat him on the counter. "His name is Shen Moqing, the disciple I brought back this time. He has a rare mixed root. I was afraid that something might happen, so I brought him back as soon as I found him. I didn't dare to stay outside for too long."

Hunyuan spiritual root?

Qu Changle was no longer calm. He stood up and looked at Qing Bao with burning eyes, as if he was looking at some rare treasure.

Qing Bao was a little frightened by his gaze and moved closer to Luo Jun.

Luo Jun hugged him and said, "Uncle Qu, should we notify the headmaster and the elders?"

"Yes, it's time to notify them." Qu Changle immediately sent a communication talisman to the headmaster and several elders.

Soon, the news that the disciple Luo Jun, who went abroad on a mission, brought back a child with extraordinary talent spread throughout the Shuiyue Sect's top leaders.

A moment later, Qing Bao stood in the sect's main hall, Shuiyue Hall, where the sect leader sat and five elders stood below. Originally, there were six elders, but the chief elder, Kong Shishi, was not there.

At this moment, everyone felt somewhat relieved.

Master Kong has always been overbearing. Fortunately, she is not here, otherwise how would others have the opportunity to accept her as a precious little disciple?

Qing Bao adhered to the character his mother had arranged for him, holding on to Luo Jun's skirt tightly and refusing to let go, looking shy.

It was the first time for Luo Jun to stand here. He felt a little complicated for a moment and kept his head down in silence.

"Child, come here." The head of the sect waved to Qing Bao gently.

The headmaster, Yuxiu, is a middle-aged woman with a beautiful face. She has completed the foundation of her cultivation. Perhaps due to her long-term practice of "Water Moon Kung Fu", she has a gentle and cold temperament.

Qing Bao looked towards Luo Jun, hesitating and not moving.

Luo Jun gently pushed him and said, "Don't be afraid, the master is very kind, go ahead."

Qing Bao then took a step forward and walked towards the sect leader.

Below the headmaster's position, there are two layers of nine steps. Each step is twenty to thirty centimeters high, which is not very friendly for someone with short legs like Qing Bao.

He couldn't climb the stairs directly, so he could only lie on the stairs, move his body up, and then stand up and climb up with a grunt. His movements were clumsy and adorable, and the adults in the hall couldn't help but smile lovingly and wanted to go forward to help him.

But he was stopped by the look of the leader.

She wanted to test the child.

Fortunately, he didn't cry or make a fuss the whole time. He climbed the stairs step by step and came to her.

Yuxiu touched his head and took out a spirit-testing plate, "Come, put your hand on it."

Qing Bao looked at it curiously, "What is this?"

"This is a spirit-testing plate. It can test whether you have spiritual roots." Yuxiu explained patiently.

"What are spiritual roots?"

Qingbao fully embodies what a curious baby is.

"Spiritual roots are... a person's aptitude for cultivating immortals. With spiritual roots, one can embark on the path of cultivating immortals."

Afraid that he would ask more questions, Yuxiu said, "Okay, someone will teach you these things in the future. Put your hand on the spirit-testing plate first, okay?"

Qing Bao did as he was told this time.

The spirit-testing plate is divided into an inner and outer circle. The inner circle is a Tai Chi circle, and the outer circle is divided into five equal-sized areas, representing the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth. The outer circle is divided into three equal parts, representing the three elements of wind, thunder and ice.

When Qing Bao put his hand on it, the entire spirit-testing plate lit up, and the brightness was frighteningly high.

This brightness represents the purity of the spiritual root. The purer the spiritual root, the higher the affinity to spiritual energy.

The current situation means that Qing Bao is indeed a mixed root spirit! The elders below were all shocked.

Although they had received the news in advance, it was still a little hard for them to believe when they actually confirmed it with their own eyes.

According to ancient records, the Hunyuan spiritual root was extremely rare even in the ancient heyday of immortal cultivation when golden elixirs were as numerous as dogs and Nascent Souls were everywhere. It was unexpected that one could still be found in this period when immortal cultivation has already declined.

If this child was born in ancient times, his achievements would definitely not be low, and he might even be able to achieve transcendence and become a saint or even a Hunyuan Golden Immortal. But now, he is destined to only cultivate to the Jindan stage.

For a moment, the mood of several people in the hall was very complicated, happy and melancholy.

And when Yuxiu asked Qingbao if he was willing to be her disciple, the others immediately realized that all their melancholy was false and the real purpose was to snatch this evil disciple away!

The headmaster and several elders spared no effort to show Qing Bao their advantages, hoping that he would choose them as his master.

Luo Jun couldn't help laughing when he saw these big brothers in the sect, who used to be so high-handed and reserved, now trying hard to promote themselves to Qing Bao.
