Surprise! After cultivating immortality, the divine beast came to the door with space
Chapter 3 Measuring Spiritual Roots
Not to mention that Lin Xia was shocked by the news, the entire capital was in an uproar because of the news of the arrival of the immortal.
It is indeed possible to cultivate immortality in this world.
The younger generation may not know this, but most of the older people have heard of it, and some have even seen it with their own eyes. Many years ago, an immortal came to the Dayan Dynasty to recruit disciples.
But as time passed, the immortals never came again, and gradually no one mentioned it anymore.
Occasionally, people heard the elders in their family talking about it, but they didn't take it seriously. Who knew that there really were immortals.
Lin Xia was shocked by the news, but she quickly recovered. After all, if she could travel through time, why couldn't she cultivate immortality in this world?!
Speaking of which, my original body had just turned eighteen, which also met the requirements. Maybe I could go and seek this immortal fate. I just didn't know if this body had any spiritual roots?
Perhaps the news of the immortal accepting a disciple was too bizarre, so no one in the mansion noticed Lin Xia.
Lin Xia even followed the aroma to the big kitchen and got herself a chicken leg, having a delicious meal. However, the original owner's body was too weak and she hadn't seen meat for a long time, so Lin Xia couldn't eat much.
In the backyard of the General Protector's Mansion, the three Lin siblings' expressions went from shock to joy in just a moment when they heard the news.
The youngest, Lin Qingze, even jumped up and said, "Dad, are there really immortals? Have you seen an immortal?"
Lin Beiye patted his youngest son's head and took a sip of tea. "His Majesty has already issued the decree, how could it be false? Dad has seen it, there really is an immortal."
Lin Fuqiu raised her eyebrows, her eyes full of joy, no longer showing the anger she had just felt when she heard that the birthday party could not be held on time.
Even Lin Qingyun, who was usually the calmest, could not hide his excitement at this moment. His face flushed and he lost his usual appearance.
And this situation is happening in many homes in the capital.
By evening, almost everyone in the capital knew the news that the immortal was accepting a disciple.
Who wouldn't be tempted by the chance to embark on a journey to immortality?!
Flying into the sky and hiding underground, living forever, what mortal wouldn't yearn for it?!
Everyone in the Lin Mansion was immersed in the good news that the immortal had accepted a disciple. The maids, servants, and even the old woman in charge of cleaning were discussing this matter, which allowed Lin Xia, who was among them, to hear a lot of information.
The immortal will only stay in the capital for two days and will leave the day after tomorrow.
His Majesty has issued a decree that tomorrow at 5 a.m., anyone in a family who meets the requirements can go to the square in the center of the capital to test their spiritual roots.
……
After receiving the most important news, Lin Xia stopped hanging around outside and returned to the small, shabby house in Beiyuan.
At night, lying on the simple little bed, Lin Xia was unable to fall asleep.
On a winter night, the howling cold wind made Lin Xia, who was in another world, feel a little melancholy, and also gave him a sense of reality about this strange world.
Since I couldn't sleep anyway, I simply put on my coat and went to the yard. The winter night was particularly dark, like a beast lurking in the shadows, full of unknown dangers; just like Lin Xia's current situation, full of uncertainty.
I’m not sure if I have spiritual roots, not sure what path to take next, or even if I can survive in this strange world.
The next day, when there was a noise in the front yard, Lin Xia had already packed herself up and quietly joined the Lin family group heading to the central square.
After leaving the mansion, the road was brightly lit.
At this time, it was still dark.
Lanterns from various houses illuminated the streets leading to the central square from all directions, guarding the central square like stars surrounding the moon, and even illuminated the sky red.
Lin Xia, mingling in the crowd, felt a wave of emotion as she watched this scene unfold, as if transported back to the days of preparing for the college entrance exam. Fate's gifts are never accidental; they arrive only when you've accumulated enough energy to bear their weight.
Along the way, more and more people joined the main street, and the team's pace slowed down, occasionally having to stop and wait. Lin Xia tightened her collar, shivering slightly from the cold.
Only when the eastern sky began to light up did Lin Xia, who was in the crowd, finally see the shadow of the central square. The square was bustling with people, with hopeful parents outside and young men and women inside filled with anticipation.
All this made Lin Xia seem so lonely and insignificant in the crowd.
From afar, under the dim light, a high platform stood in the middle of the square. Almost everyone immediately understood: this platform was the place to test spiritual roots.
There was no one on the platform, only a circle of imperial guards gathered below, each with a serious and murderous look on their face.
Lin Xia stood behind the crowd and looked forward. She saw that the young men and women standing in front of the team were all dressed in gorgeous clothes. It was obvious that they came from prominent families.
Yes, no matter where you are, there are class divisions. In this mortal world, it's the size of your official position that counts, but in the world of immortal cultivation, it's probably going to be based on your personal strength.
After waiting for a long time, until the sky was bright, a few figures appeared on the platform. Lin Xia, who was standing at the back, didn't even see clearly how these people appeared.
The crowd first let out a cry of surprise, then quickly quieted down, so quiet that Lin Xia could even hear her own heartbeat.
The immortals sat elegantly on the high platform without saying much. A young immortal in a green robe spoke loudly, "There are three spirit stones on the platform. Now line up and go up to the platform to test your spirit roots. Reach out and hold the spirit stones. Those who have spirit roots will have their spirit root attributes revealed."
After saying this, he stopped talking and stood out with two other immortals with tall figures and extraordinary temperament.
The immortal waved his hand, and three carved round platforms appeared in front of him, each with a jade plate on it. In between, three crystal clear gems with white light were displayed.
The crowd immediately understood that it was the spirit stone.
When the three young men in gorgeous clothes at the front of the line stepped onto the platform, almost everyone held their breath, staring intently at the three hands reaching out to the spirit stone. In an instant, or perhaps for a long time, when almost everyone was about to drown in this tense atmosphere, three voices were heard one after another, "No spiritual roots."
The crowd was awakened by the sound, as if a thunderclap resounded through their brains. Suddenly they understood that this was what it meant that one could not cultivate immortality without spiritual roots.
It was hard to say whether it was disappointment or something else, but everyone's heart was in turmoil.
The passion that had previously arisen because of the immortal's offer to accept a disciple seemed to be extinguished by a basin of cold water.
Yes, the prerequisite for cultivating immortals is to have spiritual roots, and these spiritual roots are so hard to come by!
Until mid-afternoon, no one's spiritual roots had been detected.
The crowd began to grow noisy, with occasional whispers breaking out. "Your Majesty's princes and princesses lack spiritual roots." "The Prince of Prince Duan's Mansion also lacks spiritual roots." "What exactly are these spiritual roots?" "How come no one has them? Is the spirit stone broken?" "Don't you dare say that!"
……
In the crowd, Lin Xia watched the young men and women who came on stage with hope, and then walked off the stage with frustrated faces. She couldn't help but feel a little nervous. This spiritual root was so rare!
It seems that the online novels I have read before were too exaggerated. The protagonists all have natural spiritual roots, and the supporting characters all have mutated spiritual roots. In the real world, it is really difficult to find a "root".
At this moment, three more people climbed onto the platform.
Lin Fuqiu, the eldest daughter of the General Protector's Mansion, who was standing in the audience, couldn't help but clench her fingers. It turned out that the girl in the middle of the three people was none other than the eldest princess's daughter, Princess Minghua, who was also Lin Fuqiu's close friend.
They were close friends, but how could they not secretly compete with each other? Moreover, Princess Minghua's status and position were far higher than Lin Fuqiu's, and it was always Lin Fuqiu who flattered Princess Minghua on a daily basis.
At this moment, Lin Fuqiu couldn't tell whether she hoped that Princess Minghua had spiritual roots or not.
On the high platform, Princess Minghua reached out her hand with hope to grasp the Spirit Testing Stone. Almost in the blink of an eye, the Spirit Testing Stone emitted a bright blue light. If you looked closely, you could even see a hint of green in it.
"Water and wood are dual spiritual roots, and the water spiritual root is stronger!" The immortal on the side said loudly.
The crowd erupted in an uproar. "She has spiritual roots! They're water spiritual roots." "Princess Minghua has a destiny to become an immortal." "Look, Princess Minghua has been left on the platform."
On the high platform, Princess Minghua's face flushed with excitement as she was called behind by a kind-looking female immortal.
The glimmer of hope when hope was shattered suddenly gave people unprecedented confidence, and for a moment, the atmosphere of the crowd began to rise again.
