Chapter 90: All Four Children Are Five Spirit Roots

"No wonder!" sighed the Su Clan Head with a sigh of emotion. "I heard that even in the current Wood Witch Tribe, there are only a few direct-line descendants who can hatch a companion Witch Spirit at such a young age."

"The current environment is becoming increasingly unfriendly to the Witch Tribe. It is already good enough that their direct-line bloodline descendants can still hatch a companion Witch Spirit," said Su Changying.

Hearing this, the Su Clan Head gave Su Changying an annoyed glare.

"Your eldest granddaughter is named Su Jin, right? I already know she hatched a Blood Xue Chiluo. You don't need to emphasize it again."

"Hehe, I was just afraid you, Clan Head Uncle, would forget her," Su Changying said very obsequiously.

"Her Blood Xue Chiluo even ate a female worm; how could I possibly forget her?" the Su Clan Head said speechlessly.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem." Su Changying quickly coughed twice.

"Did you catch that female worm? Then fed it to the Blood Xue Chiluo?" the Su Clan Head asked.

Su Changying quickly shook his head and said, "That female worm was picked up by Su Jin on her way home from school. After catching the worm, she thought it looked fat and plump, so it should be quite tasty. So she brought it home to feed the Blood Xue Chiluo."

Do not look at the insect swarm as powerful and terrifying, but the female worm actually has no attack power; any child like Su Jin can catch it easily.

"The Blood Xue Chiluo eats worms? Oh, oh, I remember now, the Blood Xue Chiluo, this kind of companion Witch Spirit, indeed eats worms," the Su Clan Head said helplessly. "It's over; I still have to clean up your mess later."

"Ah?" Su Changying looked at the Clan Head Uncle in surprise.

"Do you think only our Su family is searching for the female worm? The entire Eastern City must be searched thoroughly, even more than once. This is something that cannot be changed."

Otherwise, the Blood Xue Chiluo will be completely exposed to the enemy's eyes," the Su Clan Head said with an annoyed tone. "In a moment, I still have to go find the Xiancheng City Lord Xu Chengzhu to clean up your mess. I hope City Lord Xu, in view of our past friendship, will deduct fewer resources from our Su family."

"Still deduct resources from the Su family?" Su Changying was surprised.

"How is it possible not to deduct? Do you know how much manpower and material resources the city-wide search and the Eastern City District search require? For your family's Blood Xue Chiluo, we still have to put on a show and search several more times. We also have to arrange people to impersonate members of hostile forces and take a fake female worm out of the city!"

Doing these jobs, doesn't it all require Spirit Stones?" the Su Clan Head complained with an annoyed tone; in his plan, he thought he would need to spend many more Spirit Stones to settle the matter.

"Then the family is just raising one more Blood Xue Chiluo," Su Changying said embarrassedly.

"It is just raising one more Blood Xue Chiluo; even if many resources are deducted, it is worth it. Otherwise, do you think I am willing to go clean up your mess?" the Su Clan Head roared.

"Thank you, Clan Head Uncle."

"In the future, remember to notify your Uncle in advance if something happens!" the Su Clan Head said with an annoyed tone. "I cannot withstand you giving me a big surprise whenever something happens or doesn't happen."

Su Changying thought to himself: I don't want to either; they gave me a big surprise, I had no choice, so I had to surprise you too.

"By the way, your daughter-in-law Lin Linghua gave birth to four children; how are the cultivation aptitudes of these four children?" the Su Clan Head asked hurriedly.

"All are Five Spirit Roots," Su Changying said.

The Su Clan Head was stunned.

"How was it measured? Should the family arrange it again and measure it again?"

"I have measured it back and forth many times; all are Five Spirit Roots. Lin Linghua herself even has a single Wood Spirit Root. But all the kids are Five Spirit Roots. However, I plan to let them all go to the family school to study the Wood-element Technique."

"Then how is Su Jin's performance in the family school?"

"Always in the top three in the class, cultivating three techniques simultaneously, and hatched a Blood Xue Chiluo." Su Changying's mouth involuntarily split open.

He was smiling so happily and proudly.

"It's over; when she advances to the Nascent Soul Realm, our sect will have another big shot who plays with broken Five Spirit Roots," the Su Clan Head said directly.

Ahem, ahem, ahem. Su Changying almost choked on his lungs upon hearing this.

"Alright, I also know the situation with Su Jin. Now you quickly go back to your cave dwelling and hide; I am going to the City Lord's Mansion."

"Clan Head Uncle, this is my cave dwelling," Su Changying said speechlessly.

"Ahem, then I'm leaving. Is that okay?" The Su Clan Head gave him an annoyed glare, flashed away, and left.

Su Chengzong quickly ran to the Xiancheng City Lord's Mansion.

City Lord Xu Shichang looked at the Su Clan Head, who had come to find him late at night without cultivating, with confusion.

"You must have something to do if you run to find me at this time, right?"

The Su Clan Head immediately nodded.

Then he told him that a junior of his had hatched a Blood Xue Chiluo, and that this Blood Xue Chiluo had eaten a female worm.

Xu Shichang had not even finished listening before he almost spat out a mouthful of fresh tea.

"Did that Blood Xue Chiluo just hatch not long ago?"

The Su Clan Head nodded.

"You are crazy; feeding it a female worm right now, won't it later treat female worms as rations?" Xu Shichang looked at him speechlessly. He thought to himself: Where will you go to catch so many female worms then?

"The child is young, doesn't understand, and didn't know about the existence of female worms; she found the female worm on her way home from school, saw that the female worm looked fat and plump, so she took it back to feed the Blood Xue Chiluo!" the Su Clan Head was also very helpless, okay?

"This is truly..." Xu Shichang sighed helplessly. "But it is also good; at least, that female worm was not allowed to escape. However, the subsequent city-wide search still needs to be done, and it must be done several more times. Also, I have received news about several other female worms."

Just take advantage of these few city-wide searches to catch them as well."

However, your family cannot go unpunished."

After all, that female worm was eaten."

Can a female worm that has been eaten into the stomach be dug out?"

"Mm, mm, we accept the punishment," the Su Clan Head immediately nodded.

"Catching female worms is a mission issued by our Xiancheng; it is impossible for a female worm to have no whereabouts. Here is the plan: say that you led the team to catch the female worm, and because you used magic power too fiercely, you directly incinerated both the female worm and the enemies."

So I will fine you five thousand Spirit Stones."

You figure out how to forge it yourself; you must leave behind an image of the female worm being incinerated," Xu Shichang suggested to him.

"I understand; I will make one when I get back," the Su Clan Head breathed a sigh of relief. Not having too many resources deducted, only five thousand Spirit Stones; City Lord Xu really considered the friendship. Moreover, City Lord Xu's idea had fewer aftereffects than the one he had thought of before.

"What is the name of the child in your family who hatched the Blood Xue Chiluo, and how old is he?" Xu Shichang asked again.

"She is named Su Jin, six years old this year. She is a girl," the Su Clan Head said.

"Is she studying in your Su family school?" Xu Shichang asked.

"Yes."

"Do you need to transfer her to a Dao Academy? You can choose freely among the four family Dao Academies," Xu Shichang said.

The Su clan leader was immediately put in a difficult position. "By rights, my Su family should send the child to the Dao Academy for training—after all, the Dao Academy's resources are far beyond what my Su family can match. But if we do that, the Blood Xue Chiluo won't be able to stay hidden."

Xu Shichang, hearing this, realized it was indeed the case. "Then keep him here at your Su clan school."
