Chapter 348: Testing Spiritual Roots

Just as Li Mufeng turned to leave, a secret technique sound transmission from the Golden Feather Monster Emperor suddenly came to his ears.

"Don't ask about what happened here, Fellow Daoist Li. The old man can give you a promise. As long as your Carefree Sect does not cross the monster territory at will, the contract signed between Golden Feather Mountain and your Carefree Sect back then can continue to remain unchanged."

Hearing this unexpected sound transmission, Li Mufeng's face changed slightly, and his brow, which had been worried, also relaxed slightly. He arched his hands calmly to the Golden Feather Monster Emperor and turned into a white light, quickly disappearing into the sky.

After leaving Golden Feather Mountain, Li Mufeng didn't stay too long nearby and returned directly to Guiyun Market.

He was one step late this time, and the thunder tribulation at Golden Feather Mountain had already ended. Li Mufeng didn't investigate any useful news.

Since the colorful glow after the thunder tribulation had appeared on Golden Feather Mountain, this proved that there was indeed a monster king breaking through the Nascent Soul realm there. Having reached this step, either the other party had successfully crossed the tribulation, or they had been destroyed by the heavenly thunder in the last thunder tribulation and turned into ashes.

With the Golden Feather Monster Emperor, who had been famous for many years, protecting the way, Li Mufeng could also think that the possibility of this monster king successfully crossing the tribulation was still very high.

Thinking of the promise the Golden Feather Monster Emperor finally gave him, although Li Mufeng didn't doubt that the Monster Emperor would go back on his word, he was still a bit worried in his heart, so he summoned Lu Boyang, who had been to Golden Feather Mountain before, and carefully asked about the situation he saw at Golden Feather Mountain that day.

"Senior Uncle Li, the phoenix I saw that day was indeed a bit strange. We have dealt with Golden Feather Mountain for so many years, and the supernatural powers of those famous monster kings have been recorded in detail in the sect's classics. I have indeed never seen this kind of supernatural power."

After Lu Boyang returned that day, in order to find out which monster king was crossing the tribulation, he specially brought the classics recording monsters above the third grade near the sect to check carefully.

"In that case, it is possible that this monster king crossing the tribulation is not from near Golden Feather Mountain. Could it be a monster king who just came from other places to take refuge in Golden Feather Mountain?"

Lu Boyang thought for a moment and said: "In my opinion, it is indeed possible, and judging from the scene of crossing the tribulation that day, this monster king's supernatural powers are very powerful, unlike a monster king from an ordinary bloodline."

"Hmm! This matter ends here. You just cultivate your injuries well here. As for the things you saw at Golden Feather Mountain, I know it. Don't talk to others anymore. Now that we are weaker, it is better not to take the initiative to provoke Golden Feather Mountain." After hearing Lu Boyang's analysis, Li Mufeng nodded slightly and instructed him seriously again.

Although he didn't know the origin of this monster king who was impacting the Nascent Soul realm, in any case, Li Mufeng got the promise of the Golden Feather Monster Emperor to extend the contract on this trip to Golden Feather Mountain, which could be considered an unexpected gain.

One important reason why the Wei State had been able to develop stably into a big country near the Floating Cloud Mountain Range for so many years was also because of this contract signed by the modern ancestor of the Carefree Sect and the Golden Feather Monster Emperor.

Compared with other monster emperors near the human territory, although the Golden Feather Monster Emperor liked to fight with cultivators of the same rank, he rarely incited the monsters under his command to invade the human territory. Since signing the contract with the Carefree Sect, he had never appeared in the monster turmoil that occurred once every hundred years.

After carefully explaining a few words to Lu Boyang, Li Mufeng took the teleportation array and left Guiyun Market.

Seeing that his Senior Uncle Li was so afraid of the Golden Feather Mountain matter, Lu Boyang also vaguely guessed that the monster king who crossed the tribulation at Golden Feather Mountain this time was not very simple. Fortunately, he hadn't mentioned this matter to others after returning, and he just had to keep his mouth shut in the future.

——

Under Mount Funiu, in Wood Flood Town.

Two Song family 'Xin' generation cultivators came down the mountain early in the morning and arrived at a large mansion in the center of the town.

The two mortal servants at the gate of the courtyard saw the two immortal masters coming, hurriedly stepped forward, invited the two into the courtyard, and brought them to an old man with one arm.

"Junior Xintong, Xingui pay respects to Fourth Uncle!"

"No need for formalities, why did you two come down the mountain to replace the spiritual testing ceremony this year? Are Xinrui and the others lazy again?" Song Qirui smiled and took the two to walk quickly inside.

Although Song Qirui was not young, his spirit was still good. All these years, he had been staying down the mountain as a guardian, married early and had children. Now one of his grandsons had just gotten married not long ago, and it was estimated that in a few days he would be able to hold his great-grandson.

"Fifth Brother was sent by Eldest Uncle to help harvest spiritual fields, so Fourteenth Aunt sent us two here. Fourth Uncle, are you ready here?" Xintong, who was a bit shy, replied.

Song Qirui continued with a smile: "Hmm! I was ready yesterday, just waiting for you to come. I haven't produced a spiritual root here for several years. I hope you can have good luck this year."

"Fourth Uncle, don't worry, with me and Xintong taking action, I guarantee that we can test a spiritual root for you. When you see the Clan Leader, don't forget to say good things for us." Xingui took the opportunity to reply with a smile.

"You slippery head, I know you are not a person who suffers losses. If you can really test an immortal seedling for me this time, I promise you will definitely not suffer."

During the conversation, several people came to a wide courtyard, where more than thirty children of similar age were waiting with their parents.

"Today is the spiritual testing ceremony of our Song family in Wood Flood Town. Whether it is the Song family or other surnames, children in the town can come here to test their spiritual roots as long as they meet the testing age. Whoever tests the spiritual root and is sent to the mountain to practice immortal methods can become one of us.

Others are still the old rules. Anyone who has an immortal child with spiritual roots in their family can get a reward of two hundred taels of silver at a time. All right, no more nonsense, I will call the number in my hand to take the initiative to accept the test, one by one."

Xintong nodded slightly to the elder Song Qirui, and began to test the spiritual roots for every child who came here in order.

"Next, number twenty-three."

After calling more than twenty in a row, as expected, not a single spiritual root seedling was seen. After testing more than half, there was still nothing to gain. Song Qirui's face on the side began to look a bit ugly.

The twenty-third was a little boy who was a bit afraid of strangers. After Xintong called several times, he reluctantly left his mother's arms and slowly moved to Xingui's side step by step.

With the help of Xingui, the little boy put his hand on the spiritual disk for testing spiritual roots. Before he could retract his arm, two dazzling spiritual lights suddenly appeared on the spiritual disk, which shocked everyone who had been silent at the scene.
