Oh no, I accidentally cultivated three spiritual roots and became an empress!

Soon, Zhong Lingxin and Xuan Yuan happily gathered together to discuss where to go for training.

After much discussion, the topic turned to Zhong Lingxin's phoenix zither.

Zhong Ling thought for a moment and said, "Master, Uncle Xuanyuan, I want to go home for a visit."

Both Qingyang Venerable Saint and Xuanyuan looked at Zhong Lingxin.

Although Zhong Lingxin is mischievous, she is not someone who lacks sense of propriety.

They had clearly told her that her hometown was too far away, with vast mountains and rivers, and some sections of the road lacked teleportation arrays, requiring her to fly across. The road was teeming with countless demonic beasts, any one of which could easily take her life.

Even if she wanted to go home, she would need to be at least in the mid-to-late stages of Foundation Establishment.

Why are you in such a hurry to go home?

They knew that Zhong Lingxin had a younger brother.

Just as Zhong Lingxin went to the secret realm, the outer disciples who went to Pingchuan City to recruit disciples had already set off, and judging by the time, they should be back soon.

Zhong Lingxin slowly said, "Master, I always feel that the Phoenix Zither is missing something. It has been sleeping soundly. But I have a zither at home, and every time I play it, I feel a connection with it. So, I want to take it back."

A monk's intuition is always very accurate.

Although Zhong Lingxin had not yet cultivated at that time, she was still a person with spiritual roots.

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yuan became anxious and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, Qing Yang, you go ahead and do your thing. I'll take Xiao Xin'er home."

Qingyang Venerable Saint nodded: "Alright, but you are not allowed to be naughty along the way, and you must go and come back quickly."

I heard you say before that your mother has spiritual roots but can't activate them because the spiritual energy is insufficient.

When you go back this time, bring some spirit stones and a spirit-gathering array to help your mother activate it.

I've always heard you say that although your family is small, it is very united.

They would be better off moving to a place with more spiritual energy.

Go back and discuss it with them, ask them if they are willing to move.

If they move to a small town affiliated with the Qingyun Sect, their master's status will still be able to protect them.

After Master ascends to immortality, you'll have to work hard yourself.

Zhong Lingxin was overjoyed.

With her master's words in mind, she was determined to persuade her father and grandfather to move.

At the very least, one should move to a city with a teleportation system.

She misses her father and mother, and it's convenient for her to go home and visit them anytime.

Qingyang Venerable Saint gave Xuanyuan and Zhong Lingxin a few more instructions, telling them not to be naughty and to come back quickly, before letting the two go aside to prepare gifts for their return home.

It has been more than ten years since Zhong Lingxin left home.

I never dared to think about going home before, nor did I feel particularly homesick.

Now, once the thought of going home takes hold, the longing is like a flood bursting its banks, washing over Zhong Lingxin's heart with pain.

The next day, Zhong Lingxin went to the affairs hall to report that she had advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage, took on a training mission, and hurriedly set off on her way home with Uncle Xuanyuan.

Xuan Yuan understood Zhong Lingxin's eagerness to return home, so he used teleportation arrays whenever possible, and flew boats when teleportation arrays were unavailable.

Soon, the man and the beast arrived at Pingchuan City.

In Pingchuan City, the Qingyun Sect had just come to recruit disciples.

The people in the small town were still immersed in the joy of the immortal coming to take on a disciple.

During their conversation, they were still delighted that the small city of Pingchuan had produced more than a dozen cultivators.

During the conversation, Zhong Lingxin also heard someone mention the Zhong family.

It turns out that Zhong Lingxin's younger brother also tested positive for spiritual roots this time and was taken away by the Qingyun Sect cultivators.

Zhong Lingxin was overjoyed, and her steps became much lighter.

As long as my younger brother also goes to the Qingyun Sect, we will be able to meet soon.

I just don't know what kind of character my younger brother has. Judging from the experience of how my father and mother taught her, he shouldn't be too bad.

She thought lightly, even if he's a little short, it doesn't matter. Once he gets to the Qingyun Sect, she'll continue to teach him, and she'll make sure he gets a good beating.

Thinking of the scene of her older sister hitting her younger brother, Zhong Lingxin walked even more lightly.

You should discipline your younger brother as early as possible.

Zhong Lingxin led Uncle Xuanyuan to the front of the Zhong residence.

The Zhong residence before us is much more impressive than it was ten years ago when Zhong Lingxin lived there. Not only has the main gate been renovated and the courtyard wall been raised, but even the base of the courtyard wall is now made of stone.

Above the main gate, the gilded characters "Zhong Mansion" gleamed in the morning light.

It turns out that ever since Zhong Lingxin and Zhong Muyun were accepted as disciples by the Qingyun Sect ten years ago, the major families in Pingchuan City have been much more polite to the Zhong family.

The resources that the Zhong family had acquired were no longer subject to exploitation or plunder, and the transactions became much fairer.

This time, the Qingyun Sect came to recruit disciples again, saying that Zhong Lingxin had been accepted as a disciple by one of the sect's elders.

In addition, Zhong Lingxin's younger brother, Zhong Muyuan, was also found to have a spiritual root, which is also fire, wood, and metal.

The Zhong family's status was elevated once again.

The Qingyun Sect had taken in a good disciple, so naturally, they bestowed many rewards upon the Zhong family.

The Zhong family finally expanded their residence, raised the walls, and turned it into a grand mansion.

Xuan Yuan smelled the fresh paint on the Zhong family's gate and laughed, "Your Zhong family has struck it rich."

Seeing that the Zhong family was doing well, Zhong Lingxin was delighted and said with a smile, "I have to thank Master and Uncle Xuanyuan."

Just then, the Zhong family's gate opened, and a group of people came out, each carrying their tools for making a living.

Upon seeing people standing in front of the mansion gate, a burly middle-aged man at the head of the group smiled and cupped his hands in greeting: "Two immortal masters and immortal ladies, is there something you need?"

Xuan Yuan whispered to Zhong Lingxin, "Your Zhong family is quite nice, very polite, and doesn't have the ugly face of nouveau riche."

Zhong Lingxin looked at the Zhong family members in front of her and bowed: "Sixth Grandfather, Third Uncle... I am Lingxin."

The group looked at Zhong Lingxin, and for a moment they were all somewhat dazed.

Their memories are still of that little girl with two braids from ten years ago.

The beautiful young woman in front of them, smiling and bowing to them, made them think for a moment that they had misheard.

The boy was quick-witted. Ten years ago, he went with Sister Lingxin to participate in the spiritual root test, but he didn't get the result.

He squeezed forward, took a closer look at the young woman in front of him, and rubbed his eyes.

The young woman before me had features that overlapped with the image of her hand resting on the spirit-testing plate in my memory.

He shouted excitedly, "It's Sister Lingxin! Sister Lingxin is back!"

A loud shout startled everyone awake. Someone ran back to report the news, shouting, "Miss Lingxin is back! Miss Lingxin is back!"

The rest of the people all crowded around, vying to speak with Zhong Lingxin and leading her and Xuan Yuan into the mansion.

As they were walking, several people rushed over.

Zhong Lingxin recognized them as her grandparents, father, and mother.

She hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowed several times, and said in a choked voice, "Grandfather, Grandmother, Father, Mother, Lingxin has come back to see you."

Zhong Lingxin's grandfather and father, with tears in their eyes, were about to step forward to help Zhong Lingxin up.

Two figures rushed out from beside them, simultaneously supporting Zhong Lingxin and saying in choked voices, "Xin'er!"

They are Zhong Lingxin's grandmother and mother.

Zhong Lingxin's grandfather and father exchanged a glance, and then stood aside in tacit agreement, waiting for the mother and her two children to finish expressing their longing for each other before stepping forward.
