Starting with a daily divination to build an immortal clan

Chapter 63 Spiritual Root
The divination results have been updated!

[Today's Divination - Auspicious]: You plan to plant spiritual seeds in the Blackwater Pool. The Blackwater Pool contains a faint but powerful force of heaven and earth, and is rich in spiritual energy. The cultivation of spiritual fruits and medicines will be very successful and will greatly benefit the development of your family.

New hexagram characters appeared on the white jade tortoise shell in Shen Yuan's sea of ​​consciousness, which made Shen Yuan very happy.

He suddenly realized that the white jade tortoise shell seemed to possess a certain characteristic.

Once you decide to do something that will have an impact on your family in the short term, the divination will most likely provide a corresponding indication.

It seems like the same thing happened when I decided to exchange my property for a house in Heilongtan and build a new one.

Therefore, when making certain decisions in the future, I should wait a few days and consult the divination to see if it is auspicious or inauspicious.

Since the divination has given specific hints, it means that planting the spiritual seed in the Blackwater Pool was the right decision.

After the test tomorrow, we can have the eldest brother buy some spirit seeds to take back and study with Uncle Ya, so that we can grow them as soon as possible.

The next morning.

The family of four got up early.

After eating a simple meal, they followed Shen Wenxing toward the Ascension Pavilion.

When they arrived, a long queue had already formed at the entrance of the Ascension Pavilion.

Left Clerk Gongyang He, along with twenty guards, was standing at the entrance, maintaining order.

"Don't push, don't make noise!"

"Anyone who doesn't follow the rules will be disqualified from the test!"

"Everyone, take out your household registration certificate, pay the two taels of silver test fee each, and line up!"

Gongyang River shouted at the top of his lungs.

The common people in front of the Ascension Pavilion waited anxiously.

"Deacon, you've arrived?"

On the first floor of the pavilion, Fang Qing, the Right Clerk, respectfully stepped forward, glancing at Shen Yuan and the other two behind him.

“Clerk Fang, these two are my younger brother and sister. Let’s test them first.”

As Shen Wenxing spoke, he took out four taels of silver from his pocket.

Upon hearing this, Fang Qing smiled obsequiously and said, "We're all family members of the master, so let's waive the money."

Shen Wenxing shoved the silver into his hand and said, "No! No!"

"Letting them cut in line is already an act of favoritism. Immortals are all-powerful, and we should have a sense of awe for them."

"The money should still be given."

Fang Qinglian agreed and, after accepting the money, registered Shen Wen'an and Shen Wenping's names.

"Who will go first, you two?"

Shen Wenxing looked at his younger brother and sister and spoke.

"I'll go first!"

Shen Wenping stepped forward nonchalantly. She didn't like cultivating immortality anyway, and she didn't care much about the test results.

"Miss Shen, this way."

A servant from the Ascension Pavilion respectfully stepped forward and led Shen Wenping to the blue stone array plate.

Everyone present stared intently at the two crystal stones in front of the array plate.

After a few breaths, the first of the two crystal stones slowly lit up, flashing with four colors of light, while the fifth color of light was slightly dim.

The second crystal did not light up until the light on the first crystal slowly faded.

Shen Yuan frowned upon seeing this.

He didn't know what that meant.

Fang Qing, who was standing to the side, quickly explained, "Miss has a mixed spiritual root of four elements. The color black represents water, and the dimness of the water element means that she has a little bit of the water element spiritual root."

"However, the second crystal did not light up, which means... it means that Miss's water-based spiritual root does not meet the requirements for cultivating immortal techniques."

These were clearly trained by Li Heshan and his team.

Upon hearing this, both Shen Yuan and Shen Wenxing showed a hint of disappointment on their faces.

"Wen'an, it's your turn."

Shen Wenping's test results were not ideal, so it was Shen Wenan's turn next.

The father and son had high hopes for him.

Shen Wen'an remained silent and slowly walked onto the battle platform.

A few more breaths passed, and the first crystal lit up with four-colored light!
Immediately afterwards, the second crystal slowly emitted a dazzling yellow light! "It's lit up!"

"The second crystal has lit up!"

It was Fang Qing who was the first to speak excitedly!
Because Li Heshan had told them that if someone could make the second crystal light up, it meant that person had the aptitude for cultivating immortality.

The brighter the light, the greater the potential.

Yellow represents the metal element of the Five Elements, and its bright light indicates that Shen Wen'an on the array plate possesses excellent aptitude for cultivation.

Upon seeing this, both Shen Yuan and Shen Wenxing smiled.

As the light faded, Shen Wen'an stepped down from the array plate.

Fang Qing has already registered the details of his test.

"Steward, you'd better report this matter to the Royal City's Welcoming Immortal Garden as soon as possible. The immortals will surely be very happy if they know about it."

Shen Wenxing nodded and said, "There's no rush."

He pulled out another bulging money bag from his pocket and handed it to Fang Qing, saying, "Here is sixty taels of silver. Have someone go to the stone storehouse and fetch the seeds of twenty spirit fruits."

Fang Qing was stunned upon hearing this, then whispered, "Steward, that spirit fruit is extremely difficult to cultivate. Would you like to reconsider?"

Shen Wenxing smiled faintly: "I know, but my father likes planting fruit trees, so let him give it a try."

"Sixty taels of silver isn't a lot of money. If it works out, I believe we can recoup our investment quickly."

Seeing his insistence, Fang Qing didn't try to persuade him any further and directly sent a servant to the stone storehouse to select twenty seeds of spirit fruit.

Handing the bag of spirit seeds to Shen Wenxing, Fang Qing then had someone bring over a thin book, saying:
"Among the many spiritual seeds left by the immortals, the Purple Star Fruit is not the most valuable, but it has the best survival rate."

"This book is also a cultivation guide left by an immortal. After the county government prints it in batches, it will be sold for five taels of silver per book."

"This was copied by me in private, and I'm giving it to you as a gift, sir."

Shen Wenxing glanced at him with a faint smile, but didn't say anything more.

"In that case, thank you very much, Clerk Fang."

He handed the book and the spirit seed to Shen Yuan and said, "Father, you and your younger brother and sister should go back first. I will go back after I have dealt with things here."

"If there is any news from Yingxian Garden, I will send someone to inform you."

Shen Yuan nodded.

He had been observing his son's way of handling things from the sidelines, and it was better than he had imagined.

This way, he felt relieved.

Now that spring has arrived, we must take advantage of this and bring the Purple Star Fruit back as soon as possible to study it with Uncle Ya and see if we can cultivate it.

After seeing off his father, younger brother, and younger sister, it was already Chen Shi (7-9 AM).

"That's about enough, let's open the pavilion."

With his command, the gates of the Ascension Pavilion slowly opened.

One by one, ordinary people handed over their silver and sent their children in with high hopes.

But the vast majority of children left disappointed.

Those with spiritual roots are extremely rare, one in ten thousand among ordinary people. Yu Kingdom is a place with scarce spiritual energy, so naturally, there are very few people who can possess spiritual roots.

Throughout the entire day, the Shengxian Pavilion in Anyang County tested nearly three thousand people, and apart from Shen Wen'an, not a single person managed to make the second crystal light up.

That evening, Shen Wenxing arranged for Gongyanghe and Fang Qing to carefully check the test list and the money collected. Only after ensuring that everything was correct did he have someone send the collected money into the treasury.

These funds belong to the immortals; they wouldn't dare to embezzle a single tael.

Time flies, three days have passed.

The entire Anyang County has a population of 300,000, but not many of the eligible age are willing to take the test.

Over three days, the Ascension Pavilion received more than 10,000 testers.

Once the process was familiarized, the relevant matters no longer required Shen Wenxing, the steward, to personally oversee them.

That day, he was cultivating on the second floor when he suddenly heard a rapid knocking on the door.

"Deacon! Spiritual Root!"

"Another person with spiritual roots has appeared!"

The servant hurriedly reported from outside the door.

Shen Wenxing opened the door and curiously followed them downstairs.
