154: Chapter 154 The First Heavenly Spiritual Root

Chen Changqing arrived home, where little Lingxi was together with her mother, Li Chenghui.

As soon as he arrived, he first greeted his mother before beginning the Spiritual Root test.

"Little Lingxi, come over." Chen Changqing beckoned.

"Daddy, I want a hug." When Chen Lingxi caught sight of Chen Changqing, her face beamed with a happy smile.

"Little girl." Chen Changqing patted her head.

"Come, reach out your hand."

"Mm, Daddy, when can I go see Mother?" Chen Lingxi hadn't seen her mother for a long time; the last time they met was two years ago.

"Once your Spiritual Root is tested and you Cultivate hard, you will be able to often go to the Yuxu Sect to see Mother in the future." Chen Changqing explained with a smile.

"Then Daddy, are we starting now?" Chen Lingxi asked.

"Mm, reach out your hand." Chen Changqing gently held her hand, pinching one side of the Spiritual Testing Paper while he pinched the other side.

As Chen Changqing's magic power was input into the Spiritual Testing Paper, a dazzling blue light emanated from it.

"This is?!" Chen Changqing and Li Chenghui stood to the side, staring at the Spiritual Testing Paper in shock.

"This is a single-attribute Water Spiritual Root! Little Lingxi, you actually have a Water Spiritual Root?!" Li Chenghui said in shock.

She wanted to continue speaking, but at this moment, seemingly guided by Chen Changqing's magic power, a faint Spiritual Qi of Water began to radiate around Chen Lingxi. Or rather, all the surrounding Spiritual Qi of Water gathered toward Chen Lingxi.

Li Chenghui was a bit confused at this moment; she didn't know what this phenomenon represented.

This is?!

"Water Physique!" Even with Chen Changqing's extensive experience, he couldn't help exclaiming out loud now.

Standing to the side and hearing Chen Changqing's words, the shock in Li Chenghui's eyes grew even more intense. How could she not know what a Water Physique was? It was a special Physique innate to Cultivators, and some such Physiques were far rarer than a Heavenly Spiritual Root. As one of the five major Physiques, this Water Physique was born with extreme affinity for the Spiritual Qi of Water.

If paired with a Water Spiritual Root, perhaps even Chen Changqing would be left far behind in the Family.

For a moment, the two of them were both speechless.

"Changqing, this matter must absolutely not be let known to anyone." Li Chenghui reminded him with a solemn expression.

"I understand, Mother. I will also conceal it from the Family side, only saying it's a Water Spiritual Root, and to the outside of the Family, I'll say it's Three Spiritual Roots." It was no wonder the two of them were so cautious.

It was simply because the Chen Lingxi before them was far too Heaven-Defying. With such Aptitude, even Golden Core factions would probably not dare claim they could protect her, let alone their Chen Family.

In fact, at the very beginning, Chen Changqing only hoped that Chen Lingxi could possess Dual Spiritual Roots, but he hadn't expected reality to play such a huge joke on him.

"Sigh, having too high a talent for a little girl is not necessarily a good thing!" Chen Changqing smiled bitterly.

Hearing this, Li Chenghui also unconsciously nodded.

Not to mention a hundred percent chance of reaching the Golden Core Realm, for a Heavenly Spiritual Root, a Purple Palace Cultivator was simply not a difficult task at all. This was also one of the reasons why Heavenly Spiritual Root Cultivators were valued by various Sect factions; as long as a Sect had one Heavenly Spiritual Root, it meant the Sect would inevitably gain a Purple Mansion in the future.

And right now, the Chen Lingxi before them also had a Water Physique; in the future, even the Golden Core Realm might not be a difficult task.

Now, for Chen Changqing, achieving the Purple Mansion was not much of a problem, yet he still dared not boldly claim he could achieve the Golden Core.

"Daddy, Grandmother, did Lingxi do something wrong?" Seeing the slightly solemn expressions of the two people before her, Chen Lingxi thought she had done something to displease her grandmother and father.

"Little dummy, it's not that you did something wrong, but that you did too well." Chen Changqing crouched down and patted her head.

Li Chenghui also smiled and said, "Grandmother will make something delicious for you." Then she winked at Chen Changqing.

Chen Changqing nodded.

"Yay! Yay! Lingxi likes Grandmother's cooked lotus flower soup the most." Chen Lingxi said happily.

Watching the two walk into the kitchen, Chen Changqing headed toward the Family ancestral hall. Chen Xuanyi and the others were still waiting for news about Chen Lingxi, so he had to inform them quickly to avoid keeping them waiting for too long.

As soon as he arrived at the Family ancestral hall, Chen Xuanyi and the others stood up.

"Changqing, how is it?" Chen Xuanyi spoke up.

With a solemn expression, Chen Changqing scanned everyone present and waved his hand, setting up a soundproofing barrier.

"Little Lingxi has a Water Spiritual Root."

"Water Spiritual Root?" Chen Changjie was a bit puzzled; she had not yet figured out the joints in this matter, or rather, she had never imagined that the Family could produce a Heavenly Spiritual Root Cultivator.

"You mean she awakened a Heavenly Spiritual Root?!" Hearing Chen Changqing's implication, Chen Xuanyi was completely dumbfounded.

As soon as these words came out, whether it was Chen Changjie, Chen Yuanzhan, or the others, all of them unconsciously widened their eyes.

Following Chen Changqing's nod, the few of them finally became convinced that Chen Lingxi truly possessed the legendary Heavenly Spiritual Root, and their hearts were filled with shock.

"I didn't expect that little girl to be even more Heaven-Defying than the two of you." Chen Yuanzhan exclaimed in amazement.

Anyone who understood Chen Changqing and Li Qingling knew just how terrifying their talents were.

Not to mention Chen Changqing, who could defeat a Foundation Establishment ninth-layer Perfection just with the fifth layer of Foundation Establishment, and now had even reached the seventh layer of Foundation Establishment. Even if he didn't dare claim he could deal with a Purple Mansion Master, among Foundation Establishment Cultivators, probably no one would dare say they could win against Chen Changqing at this Realm.

As for Li Qingling, her talent was slightly inferior, but even so, besides being a Tier 2 Top-grade Alchemist, she herself was also a Foundation Establishment fifth-layer Cultivator, and definitely a Cultivator who could challenge opponents of a higher Realm.

Chen Lingxi, born from the combination of these two people, actually possessed a Heavenly Spiritual Root. But it was also normal; even in Yan Country, a third person might not be found with talents like theirs, and not every Heavenly Spiritual Root Cultivator possessed such strength during the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Aside from the fact that they had already reached the Purple Mansion, the two of them might not necessarily surpass Chen Changqing and Li Qingling in other aspects.

"Since it's a Heavenly Spiritual Root, we cannot waste this talent. In the future, as long as it concerns Lingxi, whether it's resources or other Legacies, completely open them up to her." Chen Xuanyi put forward his opinion.

"Changqing, what Cultivation Technique do you plan to let that little girl Lingxi Cultivate?" Chen Yuanzhan asked.

"I've already thought of the Cultivation Technique. Let her Cultivate the one I obtained from the Wanta Sect Secret Realm, named the Taiyin Profound Water Technique."

"Although this Cultivation Technique requires retaining one's maidenhood, it can out of nowhere increase the chance of Foundation Establishment and opening up the Purple Mansion by ten percent, and there is also a ten percent chance to elevate the quality of the Dao Foundation and Purple Mansion. Furthermore, it has a certain helpful effect on the Divine Soul."

"It just happens that this Cultivation Technique suits her cultivation; after all, this Cultivation Technique itself requires a female and must have a Water Spiritual Root." After Chen Changqing finished explaining, everyone felt it was feasible.

As long as Chen Lingxi cultivated this Cultivation Technique, the Chen Family would definitely have a Purple Mansion Master overseeing it in the future.

Moreover, this Cultivation Technique also belonged to an extremely powerful existence in combat. According to the Wanta Sect's description, there was once a Cultivator who, after practicing this Cultivation Technique, could take on existences at the fifth or sixth layers of Foundation Establishment with just the first layer of Foundation Establishment.

Although Chen Changqing himself had once fought against the seventh layer of Foundation Establishment with the first layer of Foundation Establishment, it just couldn't serve as a reference, because he himself also practiced Body Refining and Spirit Refining.
