It was only through Xu Dongmei's account that Xu Qingman's family learned the truth.

More than a decade later, Liao Donggen accidentally dug up two ginseng roots that could glow on the mountain. His son-in-law, who was from a family in his village, discovered them by chance and wanted to buy them for 10,000 yuan.

Although the Liao family has no cultivators, they have heard about cultivation in the many years since the spiritual energy revival began.

They had already suspected that these two ginseng roots were unusual, and when someone came to buy them, they became even more certain that they were not ordinary items.

After the practice of cultivating immortality was accepted by the world, someone in the town opened a shop that specialized in buying spiritual herbs.

The Liao family had long heard that someone had found a medicinal herb and sold it for over a million yuan.

This person only offered 10,000 yuan to buy their family's elixir; the Liao family would definitely not agree.

Unexpectedly, because of this, the man came to their door and tried to steal the medicine. Liao Donggen was beaten to death by the man in a fit of anger because he refused.

If it weren't for the cultivator's in-laws desperately trying to stop him, more than just one member of the Liao family would have died that day.

Unfortunately, the person in question was a cultivator, and the Liao family had no way to appeal to them. A life was lost in vain.

So when they heard that their uncle's family, who had gone out to cultivate immortality, had returned home and asked their family to come and meet them, Liao Qiuping and his brother rushed over with their family before the appointed time had arrived.

They didn't ask their uncle to avenge their father; they only asked him to check if any of their children possessed spiritual roots.

If possible, we'll see if we can help the child find a sect.

Because of what happened more than a decade ago, although that person did not attack the Liao family again, in order to prevent the Liao family from taking revenge, he also blocked their family's path to testing their spiritual roots.

Whenever a cultivation sect came to their town to recruit disciples, that person would always send people to guard the Liao family and prevent them from leaving.

Seeing that although the Liao family still liked to take advantage of others, they still had some bottom line and did not make any excessive demands.

Xu Qingman didn't make things difficult for him. Before the old man could speak, she took out a spirit-testing stone from her storage ring amidst the Liao family's surprised and delighted gazes.

Xu Dongmei gave birth to two sons, and each of her sons gave birth to two sons.

The children of Xu Qingman's two cousins, as well as their grandchildren, were the ones whose spiritual roots were being tested this time.

They were quite lucky; all six children possessed spiritual roots. Although they weren't particularly outstanding, with four or five spiritual roots, they still had a chance to cultivate to the Golden Core or Nascent Soul stage if they were diligent enough.

"Will the children gradually develop spiritual roots?"

Seeing that each child's spirit-testing stone flashed with spiritual light after pressing it, Xu Dongmei felt reassured, but she still asked to confirm.

Xu Qingman nodded, "Yes, it's not great, but it does have all of them. However, no one else tested positive."

"It's alright, it's alright. We're all so old, even if we could, we wouldn't be able to achieve anything significant."

Before Xu Dongmei could speak, her eldest grandson immediately responded.

While the Liao family was having lunch, Xu Qingman discussed with them that she and her husband would personally take the four children to the Cloud Mist Sect later.

As for the adults, at Xu Qingman's suggestion, they also decided to go with the children to find something to do near the Cloud Mist Sect.

Xu Qingman was mainly worried that after her family left, that person would find out that these children had joined the sect and would then target the Liao family.

As for whether Xu Qingman's family should help resolve the issue, the Liao family didn't mention it, and even if they did, the Xu family wouldn't do it.

If you act rashly in matters that are not your own, you can easily get entangled in karma, which is detrimental to your cultivation. It's best to leave the matter of revenge to the younger generation of the Liao family.

That afternoon, Xu Qingman and her husband personally escorted Xu Dongmei's family back to the village to pack their things, and then took them to a small town near Yunwuzong.

After dropping the adults off in town and waiting for them to find a place to stay, the couple gave them the remaining cash of over 100,000 yuan. Then, they took the children directly to Yunwu Sect.

As for how my aunt's family will make a living in the future, that's not something we should worry about. Besides, they're all adults, and we've already helped them enough.

When the couple brought their six children to the entrance of the Ten Thousand Mountains, Lei Zhensheng was already waiting there.

As soon as Yu Jinchen stepped off his flying sword, he smiled and stepped forward to give him a cupped-hand salute, "Fellow Daoist Lei, how have you been? I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Lei Zhensheng smiled and cupped his hands in greeting, "Fellow Daoist Yu, Fellow Daoist Xu, it's been many years since we last met. Apart from your cultivation levels, you two haven't changed at all."

After exchanging greetings, the group followed Lei Zhensheng to the Cloud Mist Sect.

The two had already arranged with Lei Zhensheng to send these children into the sect. As soon as they entered the sect, a Foundation Establishment cultivator took them away, and they directly became outer disciples of the Cloud Mist Sect.

Yu Jinchen refused Lei Zhensheng's offer to make them inner disciples, saying he would only accept what he was capable of.

Given their mixed spiritual roots, the fact that they were able to enter a major sect like the Cloud Mist Sect already made them luckier than others.

How far they go in the future depends on their own abilities.

However, before they left, Xu Qingman, out of respect for her grandfather, slipped some low-grade pills and a few low-grade life-saving talismans to each child.

Anyway, these things are useless to my family, so I might as well help them one last time.

"Big brother, my aunt is so good to us. I heard from a friend that even the cheapest one of these pills is worth tens of thousands of yuan."

"Yes, that's good to know. You must remember that we are where we are today because of your aunt and uncle. You must repay them when you have the chance."

The little ones nodded firmly, "Yes, yes, we've got it."

Xu Qingman and her husband stayed at the Cloud Mist Sect for most of the day, chatting with Lei Zhensheng about their experiences since they parted ways.

They could tell that Lei Zhensheng still longed for the outside world. They just didn't know what his concerns were, which was why he wouldn't mention traveling with them next time.

Before leaving the Cloud Mist Sect, upon learning that Ancestor Lei Ling was in seclusion attempting to break through to the Integration stage, Xu Qingman and her companion took out a few ounces of Enlightenment Tea and asked Lei Zhensheng to deliver it to Ancestor Lei Ling on their behalf.

"Well, I won't say thank you too much. This is indeed a good thing that my Lei family doesn't have. I won't be polite. Anyway, this isn't the first time I've received good things from you."

"From now on, if you ever need anything from the Lei family, just let us know, and we will absolutely not refuse."

Lei Zhensheng was deeply moved by the help Xu Qingman and her husband had given to his family. His great-grandfather had given the last batch of Tianyuan Fruit to his grandfather.

Lei Zhensheng's grandfather had poor spiritual roots. He was over a thousand years old and his cultivation had been stuck at the late Nascent Soul stage for decades without any progress.

It was precisely because of this that Ancestor Lei Ling was afraid that he would never see his son again after his seclusion, which is why he repeatedly postponed his seclusion to attempt the Fusion stage.

After his grandfather ate the Heavenly Origin Fruit, perhaps no longer worrying about his lifespan ending, he unexpectedly faced the tribulation of the Nascent Soul stage just a few months later.

Therefore, Ancestor Lei Ling was able to settle down and go into seclusion with peace of mind.

"Fellow Daoist Lei, we still have matters to attend to at home, so we won't disturb you any longer today. You are welcome to visit Nanfeng City when you have time."

“Alright, I will escort you two out of the mountain. Please follow…”

Before Lei Zhensheng could finish speaking, he suddenly looked up at the summit and his expression changed. "I'm sorry, gentlemen, you may not be able to leave today."
