Half a year later.
This day.
In the realm of immortality in the boundless sea, in the "Turtle Spirit Island" that covers an area of tens of thousands of miles and is shaped like a turtle in the Muyuan Sea, there is a courtyard halfway up the Han clan mountain that was only rebuilt in the past ten years. within.
There was a family of three sitting at a small table in the courtyard having breakfast.
However, at this time, the three members of the family seemed to have something on their minds, their faces were a little heavy, and there was even a hint of nervousness.
After a while, the youngest child, who had a childish look on his face, but also had an air of poise that was not consistent with his age, hesitated for a while, and finally became a little uneasy. Holding his breath, he asked his parents who were sitting at the small table.
"Father, mother...if the child does not have spiritual roots, will you send the child to the mortal world like other elders in the clan?"
His parents heard this. , all frowned.
The two couples looked at each other. The father, who looked extremely majestic and had white hair on his head, but had a middle-aged face, said helplessly.
"Shi'er, immortals and mortals...are different."
"If you really have no spiritual roots, it is...normal to go to the mortal world."
"Although my father is the wife of the Han family, The elder has the right to keep you in the mountain, but if your father takes the lead, the rest of the clan will follow suit, and then the Han clan mountain will be in chaos."
"Besides...you haven't tested your spiritual roots yet. Everything is undecided. Why do you want to do so much? Eat well. After eating, your mother and I will take you to the Han Ancestral Temple to test your spiritual roots with the rest of your peers." "
When the young and mature child heard this, his eyes dimmed slightly, and the nervousness on his face became a little more intense.
He grew up with his parents since he was a child. Once he loses his spiritual roots and is sent to the mortal world, it will be difficult for him to meet his parents who are monks in the future.
What's more, he grew up in the Han Clan Mountain since he was a child. He was used to seeing monks who could fly to the sky and escape from the earth and master various magical spells. Therefore, he yearned for cultivating a way.
If he had no spiritual roots, his wish to be a knight with a sword and enter the world of immortality as recorded in the travel notes written by his predecessors in the world of immortality would be directly turned into ashes.
With so many thoughts on his mind, the child was no longer in the mood to eat.
And his father, who seemed to be very open-minded, middle-aged and with white hair, also had a sad face at this time. Obviously, he was not as open-minded as he said.
"I hope that my ancestors of the Ling family can bless my son Ling Shi to have spiritual roots, even...five spiritual roots!"
"Otherwise, with my remaining life span...even if it is still But if I have a child with my wife, I’m afraid it will be difficult for me to watch the other child’s spiritual root being tested.”
"And if so, the other child has no spiritual roots, and my lineage...may be cut off."
This white-haired middle-aged father is the turtle spirit sent by the Ling family. "Lingpengshan" who established a branch on the island, the sad and beautiful woman sitting next to him is his wife "Liu Mengting".
Back then, Liu Mengting followed Lingpeng Mountain not long after she came to Guiling Island because her heart belonged to Lingpeng Mountain.
In the second year after the Guiling Island branch was established, she also achieved positive results with Ling Pengshan.
The young and mature child was their only child "Ling Shi".
In the early years, in order to give birth to Ling Shi, Ling Pengshan and Liu Mengting spent a lot of effort and took a lot of supplements. After five years, Liu Mengting became pregnant. Eight years ago, she gave birth to Got the child Ling Shi.
Ling Pengshan has been sent to Guiling Island by his family for fifteen years. His lifespan is now running out, with only thirteen or fourteen years left.
With such longevity, it is unclear whether a monk can conceive a child, and the hope of conceiving a child with spiritual roots is even slimmer.
Therefore, Ling Pengshan, an old man who was dying and wanted to leave a bloodline of monks, also placed all his hopes on the child Ling Shi.
If this child's spiritual roots are not detected, it will be very difficult for his lineage to resume the path in the future.
Even for a mortal with the blood of a monk, the chance of giving birth to a child with spiritual roots is extremely small.
After thinking so much, Ling Pengshan, the usually unsmiling elder in charge of the Han family in Turtle Island, turned as pale as a bitter gourd.
He looked at his only son Lingshi and wanted to take out the spirit test stone right now to test whether he had spiritual roots. However, he had never been afraid of anything, but now he was afraid.
He thought that he was stalling for some time, so that he would be disappointed later...
Looking at the sun hanging in the sky, seeing that it was almost time to test the spiritual roots this year, he also lost his temper and said something.
"Go to the ancestral temple."
After saying that, he stood up, took the sad beautiful woman and the nervous child beside him, left the courtyard, and walked to the Han clan Outside the Han family's ancestral temple halfway up the mountain.
At this moment, three children and a tall and thin middle-aged man wearing Han's Taoist robes had gathered outside the Han family's ancestral temple, with eyes like snakes. When the middle-aged man saw Ling Pengshan's family of three arriving, he immediately respectfully addressed Ling Pengshan as "Master."
Then, the man pointed to the three children beside him and introduced them.
“Master, these three children are the ones that the monks in the clan found among the more than 30,000 mortals in the clan who can activate the spiritual stone.”
Ling Pengshan heard this. , nodded lightly and replied. "Xiao Feng, let me test Shi'er's spiritual roots first, and then I will test the spiritual roots of these children."
After saying that, he turned around and took Ling Shi and his wife Liu Mengting into the Han Ancestral Temple. within.
And the middle-aged man wearing Han's Taoist robe also followed.
This middle-aged man is the current leader of the Han family, "Han Feng".
After Ling Pengshan used Han Feng to rebuild the Han family fifteen years ago, Ling Pengshan became his master and began to teach Han Feng how to practice. He has always been good at cultivating him, and the relationship between the two is also very good. .
Han Feng is also a person who repays kindness and has always been very polite to Ling Pengshan.
……
at the same time.
Inside the Han Ancestral Temple.
The young and mature Ling Shi, who had just turned eight years old, was standing inside the five jade pillars.
Following that, Ling Pengshan, who was standing outside the jade pillar, pinched his fingers and muttered a sentence.
“Array up!”
Hundreds of sparkling formations of spiritual light suddenly spread out from the five jade pillars and poured into Ling Shi's body.
The next moment, two of the five jade pillars suddenly shone with gold and yellow luster.
Ling Pengshan, Liu Mengting, and Han Feng who were outside the spirit detection array were all stunned when they saw this, and then their faces turned into ecstasy.
"Two spiritual roots of gold and earth!"
"My son is a great talent! Hahaha!"
Ling Pengshan said with great joy.
Han Feng was also happy for Ling Shi, who had watched him grow up since childhood.
The same night.
Ling Pengshan’s family was at home, celebrating Ling Shi’s happy event of testing his spiritual roots during the day.
However, two black shadows did not disturb the mountain guarding formation of Han Clan Mountain, and entered the courtyard of a family in Lingpeng Mountain without anyone noticing.
Their figures also appeared.
These two people are Ling Pengyun and Yan Siyi.
Because Muyuan Immortal Sect’s thirty-year auction in Muyuan Sea Area has not yet started, and they happened to go to Canglan Blue Sea Secret Realm first, the two of them stopped by Guiling Island, thinking Look at the current situation of the Ling branch, which is covered by Han's skin.
"Brother Pengshan and sister-in-law Mengting, what a happy event is this today? Just now I was outside the courtyard and heard the laughter of your family."
"Hey, Who is this child?”
Ling Pengyun asked Ling Pengshan and Liu Mengting, his eyes fixed on Ling Shi who looked somewhat similar to Ling Pengshan, his expression moved slightly, and he asked.
The Guiling Island in the boundless sea is far away from the Yan Kingdom in the Northern Wilderness Cultivation World, and it takes a long time to go back and forth.
In addition, the Han family on Guiling Island is a branch of the Ling family hidden in secret. The Ling family has never sent anyone to this place to prevent the Guiling Island from being noticed by interested people.
Only ten years ago, Ling Pengyun came here once when he came to the boundless sea area to buy some spiritual objects.
Therefore, Ling Pengshan did not know Ling Shi’s identity.
