Chapter 105: Tenant-Farmers
“Joy and… surprise?” Fang Xi pondered for a moment. “Could this joyous event refer to discovering a promising talent?”
“Precisely!” Feng Manlou slapped his thigh with excitement. “At the recent Spirit Evaluation Congress, the Island Lord found a young girl possessing a high-grade fire elemental spiritual root! Overjoyed, he immediately accepted her as his disciple, bestowing upon her the surname ‘Ruan’ and naming her ‘Ruan Dan’!”
Cultivators possess spiritual roots encompassing all five elements, categorized by their strongest attribute.
With a high-grade fire elemental spiritual root, she would even qualify for admission into the prestigious Profound Sky Sect!
Notably, Ruan Xingling herself was also an artificer, with her own spiritual roots heavily inclined towards fire.
“Finding a successor must indeed bring great joy to the Island Lord,” Fang Xi murmured while fidgeting with his purple clay teacup. “And what about the surprise?”
“The surprise, well… among these young talents, there’s another child named ‘Lu Guo’, who possesses a mid-grade wood elemental spiritual root…” Feng Manlou spoke as if it pained him deeply.
“Lu Guo?” Fang Xi suddenly recalled the night of the island conquest, standing before the grisly memorial mound, where he had seen a fair-skinned infant swaddled tightly. Considering the age now, six or seven years seemed just right for testing spiritual roots. “I didn’t expect it to be him! Although, given that his father was a cultivator, the likelihood of having spiritual roots is naturally higher than for ordinary mortals.”
“Ah, it all comes down to his father,” Feng Manlou sighed repeatedly. “Others might not know, but surely you do - his father was a Lu Clan cultivator!”
