At the beginning, I cleaned the Sutra Library and completed the incomplete skills.

Huangni Town was just an ordinary small town in the mundane world.

Ordinary days flowed by slowly like a gentle stream.

However, on this day,

the town was no longer peaceful.

From afar, one could hear the stirring sounds of gongs and drums, like a bugle call.

The gong sounds were crisp and loud, deafening.

The drumbeats were muffled like thunder.

Intermingled within was the melodious and soaring sound of the suona.

Huangni Town was decorated with lanterns and streamers everywhere, filled with a festive atmosphere.

Looking down from above,

all the official roads and small paths were filled with an endless stream of people.

They surged towards Huangni Town as if ants returning to their nest.

Li Lan, having emerged from the deep mountains and old forests, and left his cave abode, originally hadn't planned to join in the fun.

After all,

no matter how worthy of celebration an event might be in the eyes of mortals,

it was all insignificant to cultivators.

However.

After hearing the casual conversation of travelers passing by,

he immediately changed his mind.

"The display that Huang Erdan's family has put on today is truly something!"

"That's right, I heard that on the day his wife went into labor, auspicious omens descended from the sky.

Guo Banxian, the fortune teller at the south end of town, said that this child has a connection to immortals and will definitely become an immortal in the future!

Erdan's family has produced such a great figure, how could they not be happy?

It is said that even the town chief brought half a pig to congratulate him today."

"Wow! Huang Erdan's ancestral grave must be emitting green smoke, right?

He actually managed to get involved with the immortals who fly around in the sky?"

"No way, can the words of a fortune teller be trusted?"

"Hey, other fortune tellers are hard to say, but this Guo Banxian has great skills.

Turning stones into gold, breathing fire and breaking blades, he is proficient in everything.

It is said that he was also an immortal in the heavens, but he got tired of staying there and came down to the mortal world.

None of his words have ever failed to come true; he is simply always correct."

"Ah? In that case, Erdan's son will inevitably become an immortal when he grows up, without a doubt?"

"Hey, why wait until he grows up? Guo Banxian said to let this kid go to Xunning Immortal Mountain alone at the age of fourteen to try his luck.

If he's late, the immortals won't accept him."

"Oh, the immortals' requirements are really high."

"That's right, otherwise, do you think anyone can become an immortal?"

Listening to these trivial gossips,

Li Lan suddenly became interested.

The reason was simple.

It was because he and Tie Niu had encountered a similar situation in Qinglan Village back then.

The fortune teller had also said that he had a connection to immortals,

so Li Lan and Tie Niu climbed all the mountains together,

and grasped this immortal opportunity.

After joining the Guangji Temple,

Li Lan discovered that they both actually had spiritual roots and could cultivate immortality.

He was young and didn't understand before,

but now it seems quite mystical.

You should know that,

in a situation where both parents are mortals,

although it's not impossible for spiritual roots to appear in their offspring, the probability is extremely low.

Furthermore,

spiritual roots can generally only be detected after a cultivator's bones have matured.

How could this fortune teller know whether the child could cultivate immortality when he was just born?

Is it purely based on guessing, or is there some other special method?

Li Lan was also very curious about this.

Therefore,

he also followed the crowd and came to this Huangni Town.

Big red lanterns hung all over the doorways and all the white poplar trees in the town.

The entire town was bustling with people,

which reminded Li Lan of the feeling he had at the Feixue River market last time.

After waiting for a long time,

Li Lan finally squeezed into Huang Erdan's house.

In the small courtyard, rows of tables and chairs were arranged neatly.

The tables were filled with delicacies, including fresh fish and shrimp, seasonal fruits, and various exquisite pastries.

Li Lan had no interest in these.

His gaze was fixed on the bald man at the doorway.

This person was Huang Erdan.

This guy was usually a good-for-nothing, idle and lazy.

Today, he seemed like a different person, wearing a brand-new outfit, and his hair was not as messy as usual, but combed very neatly.

His face was flushed with happiness as he welcomed guests from all directions.

Li Lan scanned the other party with his divine sense twice but didn't find anything unusual.

This guy was just an ordinary mortal, without any magical power on him.

As for whether he had spiritual roots or not, it was unknown.

He shifted his gaze slightly and looked at the woman holding the child in the house.

As his divine sense swept over,

Li Lan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.

The woman, who was obviously Huang Erdan's wife, didn't seem to have any abnormalities.

There was no magical power in her body, and she was also an ordinary person.

But Li Lan found something unusual about that one-month-old baby.

Although this child was still swaddled,

the intensity of his divine sense was already quite significant.

Its depth, even Li Lan couldn't help but look at him with slight surprise.

Leaving aside whether he had spiritual roots or not,

just this thick divine sense alone was enough to easily break through the first level of Qi Refining.

Both parents are mortals, but they gave birth to a child with such an extraordinary divine sense,

is this a coincidence, or is there another reason?

Li Lan pondered for a moment but didn't come to an answer.

At this moment,

there was a commotion outside the courtyard.

Someone shouted.

"Guo Banxian is here!"

Looking over,

he saw that the originally crowded people automatically separated to make way.

An old man with a white beard, a hunched figure, and wearing a tattered Taoist robe,

slowly walked into the courtyard from outside.

When Huang Erdan saw this,

he quickly stepped forward with a smiling face to greet him.

"Guo Banxian, you're here, please come in, please come in."

Guo Banxian's beard trembled, and he said with a smile:

"Hehe, this old man has to come and see this future little immortal and share the joy."

Li Lan's divine sense fell on the other party and scanned him twice,

but the result made him raise his eyebrows slightly.

Although this Guo Banxian also had magical power in his body,

judging from the depth,

there was still a considerable gap before breaking through to the first level of Qi Refining.

In addition,

his divine sense was not outstanding, even not as strong as that of the one-month-old baby.

Such a half-baked cultivator, who hasn't even figured out his own cultivation,

how could he tell that this child, who is still swaddled, will definitely be able to cultivate?

A trace of doubt arose in Li Lan's heart,

but he wasn't in a hurry to find out the answer.

Instead, he quietly waited for the banquet to end, and when the night was deep,

he quietly followed behind Guo Banxian and came to his house.

When there were no other outsiders around,

Li Lan cast the spell of Scattering Beans into Soldiers, throwing out a spirit bean soldier wrapped in a black robe.

A black shadow streaked across the air.

Guo Banxian only felt a blur in front of his eyes, and a black-robed man appeared in front of him.

He was immediately shocked,

turned around and was about to rush out the door and escape from this place.

But the black-robed man's hoarse voice came out, causing his body to stiffen and stop in place.

"Fellow Daoist, don't panic, this venerable one just wants to inquire about some things, and has no interest in your little life.

But if Fellow Daoist is not sensible and attracts trouble, then don't blame this venerable one for being ruthless."
