61: Spiritual root detection, found

"A tonic!"

"Stop at once!"

A moment later, Yang Zhantang's armor, token, and Storage Pouch all appeared in Xiao Qingyuan's hands.

Seeing this, Yang Zhantang actually breathed a sigh of relief.

He should have said so earlier, so it was a body search ~

"Name."

"Yang Liulang."

Slap—!

"Seven Wolves? Say it again!"

"I am Seven Wolves... No! It's Yang Zhantang, I am Yang Zhantang, Da Tangge!"

However, Xiao Qingyuan slapped him again and said, "Are we close? You call me Da Tangge."

Yang Zhantang: Wuwuwu ╥﹏╥... "Such a big man still crying, bah!"

"Speak, why did you sneak into my Xiao Family's ancestral land? You came to my backyard without a greeting, are you always this bold, kid?"

Before long, Xiao Qingyuan had questioned him thoroughly about his identity.

Yang Zhantang was only seventeen this year, even younger than him.

His cultivation had reached the seventh level of Qi Refinement, which was quite uncommon for someone with Five Spiritual Roots.

However, in the Yang Family, which could overshadow the Zhenwu Guard, he was quite unremarkable.

"So, you made my Xiao Family grow grain, but you never intended to pay from the start?"

Suddenly, Xiao Qingyuan's expression turned stern, and Killing Intent flashed.

No one could swindle him out of his money!

His entire Family, old and young, were all working, and you just want to get away with a light thank you?

Grandma!

"I'll pay, how could I dare not pay!" Yang Zhantang cried out in fright, quickly explaining, "Although the price for purchasing spirit rice is only half, it allows you to connect with my Yang Family. When your Xiao Clan Immortal Family becomes an appendage of my Yang Family,

we can give your Xiao Family at least one spot to join the Zhenwu Guard!"

As he spoke, he felt a little guilty; the military's money was only half by the time it reached his hands.

Actually, his original plan was not to pay at all.

At most, he would just say, 'I've got your Xiao Family covered.'

But now, he didn't dare to say that.

As for the Zhenwu Guard spot, he had added that on a whim.

He thought that with this temptation, Xiao Qingyuan wouldn't kill him, right?

Looking at Xiao Qingyuan, this person really dared to act ~

Pain!

Too painful!

However, Xiao Qingyuan was so angry he laughed.

He went up and gave him another big slap on the nose.

"Not only are you trying to get something for nothing, but you also want our Xiao Clan Immortal Family to submit to you? You're really dreaming, kid!"

"An appendage?"

"I'll make you my appendage, believe it or not!"

Crackle crackle—!

"Ah, I was wrong, Da Tangge."

Xiao Qingyuan picked up a wooden stick and beat Yang Zhantang until he had no temper left.

He just wanted to live a good life at home; he didn't want to leave his house unless absolutely necessary.

After all, he had only just gone to Jiujiang two days ago.

As a result, both he and his grandfather encountered danger.

Although they turned danger into safety and gained many benefits.

But he could take off at home, why would he go out looking for trouble?

Not to mention risking his life for a single sentence from you?

The most infuriating thing was that this kid still put on an air of condescension.

The more Xiao Qingyuan thought about it, the angrier he got. Damn, it was a huge loss!

"No, please spare me, boss, I'll call you boss."

"There are countless Opportunities in the Zhenwu Guard, endless Cultivation Techniques and Magic Treasures, and if you have enough merit, you can even obtain Foundation Establishment Pills."

"You... you don't know yet, do you? This time, someone from the Royal Family has come to lead a team into the mountains to acquire resources and refine Foundation Establishment Pills."

"This is truly my sincerity!"

There really are people from the Royal Family coming to Jiujiang?

Xiao Qingyuan muttered to himself, he wouldn't really be such a jinx, would he?

And Foundation Establishment Pills, he didn't need them himself, but Guanyin Nu and the other members of the Xiao Clan Immortal Family desperately needed them.

"You're making it up! There are such resources in the mountains? How come I, a local, don't know?"

Xiao Qingyuan menacingly tapped his stick and said:

"Don't tell me there's a Golden Core among those who came this time, and they're going to hunt Golden Core Demon Beasts!"

"It's true. There's no Golden Core, but there are Foundation Establishment Celestials, and they are at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment." Yang Zhantang was about to cry, and quickly blurted out the information: "Foundation Establishment Pills generally use three rare second-tier Spirit Medicine like wind, thunder, and ice as main ingredients.

Or top-tier Five Elements second-tier Spirit Medicine as the main ingredient, both methods can be used to refine them.

And the complete heart of a single-attribute Foundation Establishment Stage Demon Beast can also replace the corresponding attribute's second-tier medicinal material.

The Hall of Offerings has calculated the Heavenly Secrets and has already figured out that a Foundation Establishment Opportunity will appear here.

They specifically sent a second-tier Alchemy Great Master over.

So, I really didn't lie to you, Da Tangge."

Xiao Qingyuan's mind stirred upon hearing this.

There really are Foundation Establishment Pills?

After asking for some more details, he threw him into the woodshed.

This kid wasn't completely stupid either.

Before leaving, he quickly made a Heart Demon oath, stating that he would absolutely not harm Xiao Qingyuan or the Xiao Clan Immortal Family.

However, Xiao Qingyuan still didn't dare to release him.

But he temporarily extinguished the thought of killing him.

Just keep him locked up for now, feeding him a grain-abstinence pill every ten days.

As long as he doesn't starve to death, it's fine.

To be honest, with his Five Elements Escape Technique activated, he could either destroy bodies and erase traces or frame someone else.

But it was still the same saying.

Flowing water may not strive to be first, but it must strive to be endless.

Since the Imperial Family Guardians had means to calculate the Heavenly Secrets, it wasn't worth risking murder.

Moreover, Foundation Establishment Pills were too important to the Xiao Clan Immortal Family!

This kid's identity could also be used.

The scene shifts.

Xiao Qingyuan saw off his Da Tangge who had come to chat with him.

Da Tangge's wedding date was also not far off.

The two brothers talked about many things.

Xiao Qingyuan enthusiastically presented many wedding gifts, all of which were spoils he had plundered from Master Wu and the other two last time.

Things he didn't care for.

This made Da Tangge incredibly happy.

He patted his chest and declared that he would go to the Wang Clan and even the more distant Sun Clan territories again in the spring.

To carefully prepare a return gift for his good younger brother.

Xiao Qingyuan smiled and nodded in agreement.

He sincerely thanked him.

Don't say it.

Really, don't say it.

When his Da Tangge acted, his luck was truly excellent.

Not only did he find the Five Spiritual Roots girl Xiaoqing, who was not competitive, but he also managed to bring back Xiaobai, who had even better talent.

He was practically the Matchmaker himself.

As for the ice cones and palm print incident.

Thanks to the heavy snow, the damage caused by the ice cones was quickly buried by the snow.

It didn't attract too much attention from the Family.

They still didn't know that Xiao Qingyuan had quietly pulled off something big.

It was very easily handled properly by Xiao Qingyuan.

The Xiao Clan Immortal Family still seemed to be in a stable state.

However, because Yang Zhantang's matter had not been completely resolved, Xiao Qingyuan still felt a sense of urgency in his heart.

"It seems that the matter of the Heavenly Spiritual Root must be carried out as soon as possible..."

...A few days later, Xiao Qingyuan woke up in Zhao Guanyin's arms.

A flicker of disappointment passed through his eyes.

Half a month.

He had worked hard for half a month, exhausting Guanyin Nu.

But he still hadn't managed to conceive a third child.

He kissed Guanyin Nu's forehead, and Guanyin Nu seemed to sense it, murmuring softly, clearly still in a dazed state after exhaustion.

She didn't wake up.

Xiao Qingyuan tiptoed out of bed.

In a blink of an eye, the ice and water thawed.

Today was the day to test the Spiritual Roots of children aged six and above in the Xiao Clan Immortal Family.

Walking along, there were parents carrying children everywhere in the Xiao Clan Immortal Family.

Many of them were new faces.

There were even Jianghu knights from distant towns and wealthy families sending their children to be tested for Spiritual Roots.

They weren't necessarily all related to the Xiao Clan Immortal Family.

The scene was very much like parents sending their children to kindergarten on the first day of School in his previous life.

With his spirit eyes quietly activated, Xiao Qingyuan secretly shook his head.

Among these people, the probability of one in ten thousand having a Spiritual Root was the same across the entire cultivation world.

In reality, the Xiao Clan Immortal Family tested Spiritual Roots every year, but they couldn't find a single one for several years.

A quick glance showed that none of these people had any spiritual light on them.

However, just as Xiao Qingyuan was secretly shaking his head, preparing to quickly go through the motions of the test.

In a corner, an extremely strange light suddenly entered his vision, startling him...
