Chapter 709 Measuring Spiritual Roots

"Mom~ I'm back~"

The little girl skipped into a shabby yard, followed by a small black and yellow dog with its chubby belly.

As soon as the shabby courtyard door closed, a hoarse female voice came from inside the house, "You still remember to come back, what time is it now?"

"Hey, Mom, look, I picked up a lot of mushrooms today. Shall I make soup with them later?" The little girl smiled silly and moved closer to her mother.

"Brother, have you been good today? I picked a lot of mushrooms for you." The little girl said softly, touching her mother's slightly bulging belly.

Shi Shi was helpless and amused when she saw her daughter's look. She was completely soft-hearted. She shook her head helplessly and reached out her hand to touch the little girl's forehead. The little girl leaned her head back obediently, "Shi Xiaojia, you are so naughty!"

"Mom~ Jia Jia is very well behaved~" The little girl smiled and got away with it by being "cute"!

The little girl's name is Li Shijia. Her father's surname is Li and his given name is Hengshan. He is from Xiaohe Village. Her mother's surname is Shi and her given name is Xiu. She is from the next village. The family makes a living by fishing, farming, raising silkworms and reeling silk. They live a pretty good life.

The whole family is honest and hardworking. They never cause trouble and never like to trouble others, so they have no sense of presence in the village.

"Xiuniang, Jiajia, I'm back." Li Hengshan's loud voice came from outside the courtyard. Then the courtyard door opened and a dark, tall and strong man walked in.

"Daddy~" Li Shijia jumped into his father's arms.

"Ouch~ Daddy's good girl." Li Hengshan hurriedly hugged his daughter and staggered two steps before he stood firm. Two drops of sweat flowed down his forehead. Alas, his daughter's strength was getting stronger and stronger.

Shi Xiu was helpless, "Don't bother your father, Brother Shan, go wash your hands and deal with the mushrooms, your daughter wants to eat mushroom soup."

"There are mushrooms? That's great. I went to the city to help today, and the host gave me a piece of meat. I will cook soup with the mushrooms later. It will also nourish you." Li Hengshan's eyes lit up.

"Wow~ There's meat to eat." Li Shijia jumped up happily, and the little dog at her feet also wagged its tail happily.

Soon, the fresh aroma of mushrooms and meat filled the entire yard, attracting the neighbors next door to frequently look in.

The meal was particularly delicious. After the meal, the family sat in the yard to enjoy the cool air, accompanied by the sunset in the sky, which was quite comfortable.

"Xiuniang, I saw people from the Immortal Sect coming to town today. I heard that the test will start in three days. All children under the age of twelve and over the age of five can take the test." Li Hengshan looked at his wife.

Shi Xiu understood what he meant when he heard this. "It's just that our Jia Jia is only five years old. How about we wait a little longer? The cultivators from the Immortal Sect come here once every three years. It's still not too late to let Jia Jia try next time."

As a mother, Shi Xiu was naturally reluctant to let her five-year-old child leave her side.

Li Hengshan hesitated for a moment after hearing this, but still insisted on his own idea, "I heard that immortals pay attention to opportunities. Three years means missing a lot of opportunities for a cultivator."

"Besides, most of the children in our village are eight or nine years old. They definitely won't wait until the next time." Li Hengshan expressed his considerations, "If our Jia Jia is selected with them, we can ask them to take care of her a little bit."

"But..." Shi Xiu was still reluctant. Although what her husband said made sense, she still loved her daughter.

Li Shijia listened to his father and mother's discussion, tilting his head in confusion, "Dad, Mom, has the immortal come? Where is he? I want to go see him."

The five-year-old girl stared with her big black eyes and looked at her parents obediently. The puppy in her arms had the same expression. This scene was so touching.

Shi Xiu and Li Hengshan couldn't help but tear up when their daughter looked at them.

"Mom and Dad, your eyes are red!" The little girl stretched out her chubby little hand and touched the corner of Shixiu's eyes.

"No, nothing." Shi Xiu quickly wiped his eyes, turned his head and took a deep breath.

Li Hengshan wanted to give up his previous idea when he saw his daughter's well-behaved appearance. After thinking for a while, he said, "The immortal has arrived in the town. A spiritual root test will be held in three days. Does Jiajia want to take the spiritual root test?"

"Testing spiritual roots?" Li Shijia opened her mouth slightly, looking surprised. Although she was only five years old, she knew a lot about immortal sects and cultivators.

After all, the grandmothers in the village like to tell stories about the world of immortality to the children in the village. However, not many children in the village like to listen to them, and those who like to listen will be taken away by their parents.

Xiao Jia was very puzzled by this, because her mother-in-law told such interesting stories. She was always attracted by the fantastic and magnificent appearance of the world of immortal cultivation.

"Then can I become an immortal? Can I learn to fly? Can I learn magic?" Every time grandma told them stories, she would cast magic and transform them into various small animals. She had been itching to do so.

"Yes... yes you can." Li Hengshan couldn't help feeling sad when he saw his daughter's reaction.

"Jia Jia, do you want to practice Taoism?" Shi Xiu was not very willing.

Xiao Shijia nodded, "Yeah, I think so. After I become an immortal, I can fly."

Thinking of flying freely in the sky in the future, Xiao Jia couldn't help but be overjoyed. He held the puppy and turned around in the yard.

"Haha, Xiao Si, we are going to practice Taoism."

"Woof woof~" The puppy wagged its tail quickly.

The crisp laughter and the tender barking of dogs accompanied by the afterglow of the setting sun could be heard from far away, but soon the silver bell-like laughter was drowned out by the noise from each household.

Three days later, at the spiritual root test site.

"No spiritual roots, next one!"

"Five Spiritual Roots, go over there."

"none."

"next."

……

"We have arrived at our Xiaohe Village." The village chief of Xiaohe Village hurriedly waved to the villagers.

Over the past few decades, the process of recruiting new disciples in the immortal sect has been standardized, and testing is carried out in each village, and the good seedlings that are tested are also easy to manage.

Of course, if a village detects many children with spiritual roots, then this village will naturally become the focus of observation by the Immortal Sect.

The children of Xiaohe Village lined up in an orderly manner. Xiao Jia was the second to last, and Li Huaisheng was the last.

The first one was naturally the village chief's grandson, Li Huaimin, one of the boys who beat Li Huaisheng to death. The chubby Li Huaimin walked up to the testing table tremblingly, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, he pressed his hand on a smooth stone plate.

The stone plate is round, at least one foot wide, with a protrusion in the middle and intricate and beautiful patterns carved on the edges.

At this time, the protruding part of the stone tablet began to light up, the gray stone turned into a bright white, and the part that touched Li Huaimin's palm began to burst with color.

The cultivators who were originally careless became nervous and stared closely at the stone plate in Li Huaimin's hand.

Although Li Huaimin was used to being domineering in Xiaohe Village, he had never seen such a scene before. His heart trembled and he retracted his hand.

"Don't move!" The cultivator's voice was loud and intimidating.

Li Huaimin was so frightened that he was shaking all over, and the next moment, his feet became wet.

I was so scared... (End of this chapter)
