Chapter 128 Testing Spiritual Roots
Guo Fuyun sighed, stopped fiddling with the prayer beads, and opened his eyes.
"Xiao Han, this is the first time I've called you that. Why are you so determined to enter this field? Do you know how extremely dangerous the path of cultivation is? If you're not careful, you could lose your life."
He Sihan's eyes were like cold pools, and Guo Fuyun couldn't fathom his thoughts at all. Wouldn't it be better to be the richest man?
"Just tell me whether you should or shouldn't."
The tone was threatening, and Guo Fuyun felt a chill run down his spine. Pointing at himself, he said, "President He, I am the abbot of Fuyun Temple. The abbot is someone that others don't know how to curry favor with, but you always do this, threatening me at the drop of a hat."
"threaten?"
"I've always been this way, so tell me if you're willing or not?"
"I....."
"Why!"
Guo Fuyun sighed, "It's not that I'm unwilling. My entry into the cultivation world was by chance. If you insist on cultivating, you will have to find a chance. As for where that chance is, no one knows."
It might be in the snow-capped Tianshan Mountains, or in the vast ocean, or even in the desolate desert. You'd have to search, perhaps traversing countless mountains and rivers, and you might find nothing. Would you still be willing to seek out this opportunity?
"I'm bored by myself, come with me."
Guo Fuyun: I... why am I always the one who gets hurt?
"What, you don't want to?"
Guo Fuyun: "I'm willing, a million times willing, okay!"
He Sihan raised an eyebrow. "Alright, let's set off now. I'm all packed!"
......
Two days later.
Gu Yunxi was currently in her own space, constantly experimenting. After wasting a lot of medicinal herbs, she finally refined a few Marrow Cleansing Pills. Although the pills were not very good-looking as they were her first time refining them, she could see that they contained a lot of spiritual energy.
Next, it's time for testing.
Looking at the bowl-sized spirit-testing stone in front of her, she felt both nervous and excited. She went out of the house and saw her brothers and mother under the pavilion. She walked over to them with trepidation.
"Yunxi, what's wrong?"
Liu Zheng waved to her and saw that her daughter looked worried. For the past two days, apart from eating, she had been staying in her room and had even stopped her live broadcasts. She wondered what she was up to.
I'm afraid that if something happens to her, she won't discuss it with her family and will have to bear it all alone.
The person who cares about me the most is indeed my dearest mother, but why do I have this bad feeling?
"Mom, it's okay. All my brothers are here. I have something to tell you."
Looking at his younger sister, Gu Yunzhou felt that she had changed a lot in recent days. He both hoped that she could change and that she could retain her innocence.
"Little sister, come here and sit next to your big brother."
Gu Yunlang became anxious, "I am my little sister's personal bodyguard, you should be sitting next to me."
Gu Yunxi sat down next to her mother. On her other side was her fifth brother, a big star she hadn't seen in a long time. He seemed to have a lot of free time lately and was preparing to go home to rest for a few days.
Without saying a word, he placed a stone the size of a bowl, with different patterns carved all over its surface, on the stone table.
The group looked at each other, bewildered, unable to hear any of her thoughts. They had no idea what she was up to and thought she had found some treasure.
However, this stone seems to have been handled for a long time. Although it has some cracks, it still cannot hide its value. My sister doesn't have much money. Could it be that she found this stone somewhere?
Have you all heard of spiritual practitioners?
“Cultivators, fantasy dramas aren’t often shown on TV. Fifth Brother has acted in a few of those dramas before, but mostly it was just to have some fun. If you want to go, little sister, I can take you there.”
Gu Xingbai touched her forehead. Although they were often apart, so what? It didn't affect their feelings for each other at all.
"wrong."
Gu Yunlang spoke up, "My sister brought this stone not just for us to see, could it be some kind of spirit-testing stone?"
"Third Brother understands me best. You've all heard of Master Fuyun, right? The abbot of Fuyun Temple?"
The group nodded.
"Actually, besides Huo Ziyu at home, I have another disciple, namely Master Fuyun."
"ah!"
The group knew how powerful the younger sister was, and never imagined she would take Master Fuyun as her disciple. But today, she was...
"Third Brother is right, this is indeed a spirit-testing stone. What I want to tell you is that there are actually some cultivators in this world, but not many. I am one of them. They are infiltrated into all walks of life, and most of them are protected by the country and cultivate in special places so that they can charge into battle in special times."
Of course, there are also some people with evil intentions. Master Lin, who set up the Liu family, was one of those people. He was highly skilled in cultivation, but he was morally corrupt, so he did not have a good end.
"This is a spirit-testing stone. Of course, I have my own selfish reasons. I've been separated from my family for eighteen years, and I want to spend more time with you all. So today, I want you to be tested to see if you have the aptitude for cultivation. Elder brother, you go first!"
The group was completely bewildered. It was all too incredible. Cultivation? Could they do it too? If they really could, could they live longer? But that wasn't important. What mattered was that they could spend more time with their families.
Gu Yunzhou remained expressionless, but he was extremely excited inside. The others were the same; they had never imagined that one day they would be able to step into that mysterious and unknown world.
Gu Yunzhou rubbed his hands together and placed them on the toilet spirit stone. The stone felt cool and smooth to the touch. The others held their breath and watched his hands nervously.
One second, two seconds, until half a minute later, the stone reacted, showing a faint green light, and Gu Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief.
"He's out! Big brother has a wood spirit root! That's wonderful! This wood spirit root symbolizes vitality. Once his cultivation level improves, he can control plants. If he has an epiphany, he can even heal injuries."
"Really? That's wonderful! Big Brother will definitely cultivate diligently from now on and protect everyone!"
Next up was the second brother. The second brother was quite quick to test; as soon as he placed his hand on it, a blue light appeared.
"Second brother has a water elemental root and can control water flow. If he cultivates well and masters water control and ice manipulation techniques, it will be quite useful for self-defense in the future."
The third brother was found to have an earth elemental root, and the fourth brother also has a wood elemental root. This makes them a better match in terms of career. If he masters healing arts, he is more likely to reach the pinnacle of academia in the future.
Fifth Brother was found to have a fire elemental root. I have to say, this family has amazing genes. I wonder who he inherited them from.
Overjoyed, the group turned their attention to Liu Zheng.
Liu Zheng slowly placed her hands on the spirit-testing stone. One minute, two minutes, three minutes passed, but the stone did not react at all.
She lowered her hands and sighed, "I'm already very content that you can all cultivate yourselves. Our family has produced six good children, and I'm overjoyed."
[That can't be right. They both have single-elemental spiritual roots. How could their mother be an ordinary person? Could it be that she inherited all of this from that scumbag father?]
"Mom, try again. Sometimes this thing isn't accurate."
Gu Yunxi comforted her, saying that if her mother truly lacked the aptitude for cultivation, then it could only be Gu Feng.
Seeing the expectant looks in their eyes, Liu Zheng knew they were still determined, so she placed her hands on the table, just to give it a try.
