Chapter 2: Spiritual Root

The next day, Ye Qingxuan got up early.

Just as he stepped out, he found his parents already waiting in the courtyard early.

Ye Qingxuan was stunned and said:

"Father, Mother, why did you get up so early?"

Seeing his son stunned on the spot, Ye Fu stepped forward and slapped Ye Qingxuan on the head:

"Stinky brat, today is the day for you to test your spiritual root. Can your mother and I not get up early? Let's go! There are many people today!"

After speaking, he took Ye Mu beside him and walked out of the house first.

Although he said he didn't care if his son had a spiritual root, after all, it concerned his son's future, so how could Ye Fu not be serious?

Looking at his parents, Ye Qingxuan felt moved and hurriedly followed his parents' footsteps.

The Ye Shixian City's annual spiritual root testing assembly was a grand event for the entire Ye clan, so it was naturally very lively.

Now, the wide streets in the city were already crowded with people.

The Ye family had over ten million people, and the twelve-year-old clansmen testing spiritual roots every year basically exceeded one hundred thousand.

To improve efficiency, there naturally wouldn't be only one testing location.

In the entire Ye Shixian City, there were fully over a hundred testing locations.

For this reason, the Ye family directly transferred two hundred immortal clansmen, with two people responsible for each testing point.

When the test began, Ye Qingxuan had already lined up at one of the points.

And Ye Fu and Ye Mu were waiting outside the field!

He saw that on a huge square, a group of boys and girls lined up in a long queue, chattering non-stop, their faces flushed with excitement.

In front were two young men wearing Ye clan clothes, with green leaves embroidered on the collars of their clothes.

Ye Qingxuan was in the middle of the queue, listening to the noisy environment beside him, his brows slightly furrowed.

At this time, the two leading people in front, one of them said:

"Silence."

Immediately, the voice suppressed the discussions of everyone in the field.

Seeing the scene quiet down, the man continued:

"My name is Ye Yonglun. Today, I will test your spiritual roots. Come one by one, do not disrupt order; violators will be severely punished."

The final falling voice carried a stern look.

Everyone in the field shrank their heads, and sparse responses sounded.

Hearing Ye Yonglun's name, Ye Qingxuan understood in his heart:

"Yong generation? Clansmen of the previous generation?"

The Ye family had been passed down for ten thousand years, for the sake of orderly inheritance and convenient management.

It had always been arranged by the twelve characters: Yu, Wen, Huan, Jing, Rui, Yong, Qing, Zhao, Xi, Shi, Xu, Chang.

However, it wasn't arranged by seniority, just purely dividing a generation every hundred years.

Twelve characters, changing every hundred years, a cycle of twelve characters.

Ye Qingxuan and Ye Fu, Ye Mu, were all Qing generation clansmen, while the Ye Yonglun who just spoke was the previous generation, a clansman of the Yong generation.

While Ye Qingxuan was thinking, Ye Yonglun in front ignored the sparse responses in the field, took out a colorful bead, and spoke again:

"Spiritual root testing officially begins, the first one, come up."

Immediately, a little fatty walked up nimbly, looking at Ye Yonglun very nervously.

Seeing the nervous little fatty in front, Ye Yonglun's cold face was expressionless, and he said:

"Put your hand on this bead, just relax your body."

Hearing this, the little fatty carefully stretched out his hand and placed it on the bead in Ye Yonglun's hand.

But after a long time, this bead didn't have any reaction.

So, Ye Yonglun said:

"No spiritual root, next."

The little fatty was stunned, and the next moment he left the queue with a mournful face.

Time passed, the speed of the test was not slow, and soon a hundred people were tested, but so far, not a single person possessed a spiritual root.

Seeing this scene, the originally confident Ye Qingxuan couldn't help but feel unsettled at this moment.

"No spiritual root, next."

Ye Yonglun's cold voice sounded again, and the remaining boys and girls in the field were already starting to tremble.

One after another, just as it was about to be Ye Qingxuan's turn, a dazzling five-colored light suddenly radiated from the front.

Looking at the spiritual testing bead radiating five-colored light in his hand, Ye Yonglun's eyes showed excitement and surprise; he didn't expect such a harvest, the contribution points obtained this time were enough for him to cultivate peacefully for a long time.

Thinking of this, Ye Yonglun squeezed a smile on his stern face, looked at the uneasy boy in front of him with slight gentleness, and asked softly:

"Child, what is your name?"

The boy who just tested his spiritual root, hearing the question, hesitated for a moment, then whispered:

"My name is Ye Qingxiao."

Ye Yonglun nodded:

"Good, you stand beside me first."

After speaking, Ye Yonglun looked at everyone in the field and announced:

"Ye Qingxiao, Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth five-element upper-grade spiritual root. Next."

Once announced, those who hadn't tested their spiritual roots in the field instantly became excited:

"Wow! Five-element spiritual root! Awesome, let me rub some luck, maybe the next one is me."

"Yes! Envy, I don't have high requirements, just one three-element mid-grade spiritual root is enough."

"Hmph, stop dreaming, still three-element? It's good enough to have a spiritual root, and you're still choosing?"

Even Ye Qingxuan was surprised in his heart; he didn't expect that either there would be no spiritual root, or a five-element spiritual root would appear directly.

You must know, the spiritual roots of this world were not like those internet novels from Ye Qingxuan's previous life where the more spiritual roots, the worse the talent.

On the contrary, in the Di Xuan Realm, the more spiritual roots, the better the talent.

In the Di Xuan Realm, there were currently twelve types of spiritual roots: Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Thunder, Space, Yin, Yang, Light, Dark.

What is a spiritual root? The saying of spiritual root in the Di Xuan Realm is:

Only when the correspondence between the human body's inner universe and the elements between heaven and earth reaches 100% will a corresponding spiritual root be generated!

And what is spiritual energy?

Spiritual energy is a collection of all elemental particles in the world.

Except for some special regions, most of the spiritual energy between heaven and earth contains all the elements between heaven and earth,

Therefore, the more spiritual roots, the greater the traction force on heaven and earth spiritual energy, and the faster the cultivation speed naturally.

According to the division of the Di Xuan Realm:

1-2 elements are lower-grade spiritual roots, 2-4 elements are mid-grade spiritual roots, 5-6 elements are upper-grade spiritual roots, 7-8 elements are supreme-grade spiritual roots, 9-10 elements are earth-grade spiritual roots, 11-12 elements are heaven-grade spiritual roots.

For the Ye family, a five-element upper-grade spiritual root was already a rare genius.

After a five-element spiritual root Ye Qingxiao appeared, Ye Yonglun tested several more people in a row, but no one possessed a spiritual root.

This made everyone in the field instantly calm down as if they had been splashed with a basin of cold water.

Possessing a spiritual root was one in a thousand, and it wasn't so easy to appear.

"No spiritual root, next."

Soon, it was Ye Qingxuan's turn.

Ye Qingxuan took a deep breath, walked up slowly, and placed his hand on the spiritual testing bead.

After a while, in Ye Qingxuan's nervous gaze, the spiritual testing bead radiated a brown light.

Seeing this change, Ye Qingxuan felt relieved in his heart.

"What is your name?"

Hearing this, Ye Qingxuan looked up at Ye Yonglun and said respectfully:

"Returning to Clan Uncle, junior Ye Qingxuan."

Seeing this, Ye Yonglun nodded slightly:

"You also stand beside me."

Subsequently, Ye Yonglun announced:

"Ye Qingxuan, single-element lower-grade earth spiritual root. Next."

With Ye Qingxiao, the five-element spiritual root, as a precedent, Ye Qingxuan's single-element lower-grade earth spiritual root didn't cause much of a stir.

The test continued, but Ye Qingxuan no longer paid attention.

No matter how good others' were, it was theirs, not his.

Now that he had tested that he possessed a spiritual root, although it was only a lower-grade single-element earth spiritual root, at least he had obtained the ticket to step onto the path of immortal cultivation.

With his eternal lifespan, even if he used time to grind slowly, he had the confidence to break through one bottleneck after another and reach the peak of the immortal path.

"Spiritual root testing is over, you all disperse!"

A voice pulled Ye Qingxuan's thoughts back.

It turned out that the spiritual root testing assembly had ended, and after Ye Qingxuan, no one else tested a spiritual root.

There were over a thousand people who came to this testing point, but only Ye Qingxuan and Ye Qingxiao possessed spiritual roots.

After the test ended, Ye Yonglun took back the spiritual testing bead in his hand, looked at Ye Qingxuan and Ye Qingxiao, and said:

"I'll give you three days. Three days later, I'll wait for you here and take you to the main vein, Mount Yunwu, to cultivate."

Mount Yunwu was the spiritual mountain not far outside the Ye Shixian City, where the Ye family's true base was located.

Hearing Ye Yonglun's words, Ye Qingxuan and Ye Qingxiao looked at each other and bowed together:

"Yes, Clan Uncle." ===== CHAPTER 3 =====
