Chapter 426: Take the Ning family into your pocket and test their spiritual roots
At this moment, everyone in the Ning family looked at Xiao Ying expectantly, as if they were afraid that she would not agree.
As for the choice of head of the family, the younger generations naturally have no right to decide, let alone make suggestions.
It was entirely decided by Duke Ning, Prime Minister Ning, and Ning Leyan.
The head of the Ning family in this generation is Prime Minister Ning Lechao. Now that even he is willing to pass the throne to Xiao Ying, the others can only respect him.
"Grandpa, eldest uncle, second uncle, have you really decided?"
Xiao Ying looked serious.
Before coming, she had guessed that she might encounter this today, so she was mentally prepared.
Ning Leyan smiled and said, "Do you think we haven't made a decision yet?"
"Everyone is eager for Big Brother to give up his position to you."
Prime Minister Ning was serious, but he nodded in agreement.
"Yingying, we have already decided."
Duke Ningguo looked at her with even greater certainty, revealing a hint of anticipation.
Xiao Ying took a deep breath and then stood up.
"In that case, I solemnly declare here that I am willing to take over the position of head of the Ning family."
Everyone in the Ning family was immediately delighted, and Duke Ning also stood up and shouted "Good".
Next comes the succession ceremony.
Duke Ning took her to the Ning family ancestral hall, and Prime Minister Ning passed the position of head of the family to her in front of the ancestors.
Xiao Ying also swore an oath in front of the ancestors:
I will definitely lead the Ning family to become a family of immortal cultivation and will never let everyone down.
Everyone in the Ning family was so excited that their eyes were filled with tears.
This has been the biggest dream of their ancestors, and now, it is finally coming true!
"Meet the Patriarch!"
Duke Ningguo took the lead in bowing, his face solemn.
"Meet the Patriarch!"
The others also shouted in unison, their spirits lifted.
Chen Xinghai and the others felt their hearts surging, as if something was about to burst out of their chests, and their blood was boiling.
My mother actually became the head of the Ning family!
From now on, everything in the Ning family will be arranged by her, and everyone in the Ning family must respect her.
With the Ning family joining, the cultivation team will expand a lot at once, and it will look somewhat like an aristocratic family.
Xiao Ying said in a deep voice, "I know the reason why you appointed me as the head of the family is because you want the Ning family to embark on the path of cultivating immortals."
"Since I have taken over the position of head of the family, I must be responsible for the entire Ning family."
"If you are willing to trust me, I will not treat you unfairly."
"I don't know how much you know about cultivation, so I'll start by explaining the basics."
As he spoke, a palm-sized white stone suddenly appeared in his palm.
It is the spirit stone for testing.
She now has several of these things, so they are no longer particularly rare.
Everyone in the Ning family sat upright, listening to her story attentively, and they were all extremely excited.
Xiao Ying continued, "If you want to become a cultivator, you must first have spiritual roots."
"Although Grandpa said before that the Ning family has no spiritual roots, I still want to test it myself."
"This is called the Spiritual Detection Stone in my hand. Just press your palm on it and it will detect whether you have spiritual roots."
Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to the spirit stone in her hand.
Such a small thing can detect whether they have spiritual roots?
Everyone was curious and surprised.
It wasn’t so easy when the Yu family helped them with the test before. It took them a long time.
Afterwards, Xiao Ying gave a detailed explanation of the information about spiritual roots.
Everyone listened with great interest, including Duke Ningguo, who showed a look of sudden realization from time to time.
After the explanation, we gave them the formal test.
Chen Xinghai took the initiative to help, naturally starting with Duke Ningguo.
Duke Ningguo actually showed a rare hint of nervousness, his face tense.
"Then I'll try it first."
Although the Yu family detected that he had no spiritual roots many years ago, what if?
After all, Yingying's spirit stone seems to be much more reliable than those of the Yu family.
He pressed his hand gently on it, and the spirit stone immediately lit up.
He couldn't help but feel something in his heart. This treasure was shining. Could it be that he really had spiritual roots?
The others couldn't help but stretch their necks to look, looking even more nervous and excited than him.
But Chen Xinghai shook his head.
"Unfortunately, my great-grandfather has no spiritual roots. The highest root value of earth spiritual root is only 46."
The rest are basically around 40, which is the lowest root value Chen Xinghai has ever seen.
Considering that the degree of blockage of spiritual roots is related to age, it is not surprising that Duke Ningguo is over 70 years old and is so blocked.
"Alas... I am also crazy."
Duke Ningguo's nervousness disappeared instantly, and he shook his head and laughed.
"You're already old enough to be buried, what are you still looking forward to?"
Prime Minister Ning frowned and said, "I'm afraid my father and I are about the same."
Ning Leyan smacked his lips. He was not young anymore, so there was probably no hope for him.
Xiao Ying smiled and consoled them, "Spiritual roots can be cultivated in some way. Xinghai and the others didn't have any spiritual roots to begin with."
"So even if the test shows no positive results, there is no need to be disappointed."
Everyone's eyes suddenly lit up, their gazes filled with disbelief, and they all stared at Xiao Ying without blinking.
Duke Ningguo's beard trembled slightly, and it took him a while to regain his voice.
"Yingying, are you telling the truth? Can spiritual roots really be born after birth?"
Then don’t they have a chance too?
Prime Minister Ning, who has always been calm, also looked at him eagerly, wanting to hear Xiao Ying's answer in person.
Xiao Ying said, "Of course, otherwise how could I dare to boast about leading the Ning family to become a family of immortal cultivators?"
Many people took a deep breath, their expressions changing unpredictably, and finally settled on surprise and excitement.
Spiritual roots can actually be born after birth!
What kind of magical method is this?
They dared to say that the five major immortal cultivation families in Yue Kingdom definitely did not have such means, otherwise they would not have been their current scale.
And Yingying actually has this method.
This one item alone is better than the five major immortal cultivation families!
"Yingying, do we all have a chance?"
Duke Ningguo couldn't help asking, but quickly shook his head to deny it.
"Forget about me, an old man. I hope others will have a chance."
He would have made money by the time he reached this age.
I am already satisfied to see the Ning family embark on the path of cultivation before I die.
Xiao Ying smiled and said, "Grandpa, don't underestimate yourself. If you practice cultivation, you can live for at least another twenty years."
Even if he is only in the middle stage of Qi Refining, living to eighty or ninety is no problem.
Duke Ningguo's eyes brightened when he heard this. Who would want to die when they can live?
He couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, okay, then Grandpa will strive to live a few more years and experience the wonders of cultivating immortals."
On the other side, Chen Xinghai continued to test everyone.
Unfortunately, no one in the Ning family has spiritual roots.
The situation was best among children around ten years old, with the highest root value being 49.
If you soak some spiritual spring water in it and drink some, you will probably be able to grow pseudo spiritual roots soon.
"There really isn't even one." Duke Ningguo sighed and asked Xiao Ying, "Isn't this a waste of your resources?"
After all, there are nearly twenty people in total.
Xiao Ying casually took out a palm-sized emerald green jade bottle. Although the bottle was small, it contained a lot of secrets.
