Chapter 33: Earth and Fire Dual Spiritual Roots

The next day, after completing the training, he began to check the advancement of the Amethyst Scorpion and found that it had been fully advanced.

He let them all out of the spirit beast bag, took out the prepared monster meat and a portion of red flame crystal and fed them. The group of little guys gobbled it up ravenously and finished it all in a short while. Lin Changqing had to add some more monster meat to make sure they had enough.

It seems that the appetite has increased after the advancement! In this case, I guess one serving of Red Flame Crystal won't last a week, and I might need two or three servings.

Good boy, the cost has increased again! No wonder almost no casual cultivators become insect cultivators, the consumption is too much for ordinary cultivators to bear.

After eating, they all ran to the sunny place and stayed there motionless. Lin Changqing was moved. Could it be that they were basking in the sun?

Their full name is Big Sun Amethyst Scorpion. Could it be that basking in the sun is good for them? It seems that we should let them bask in the sun more in the future. Maybe it will be beneficial for their future advancement!
Let them bask in the sun and ignore them for now.

Summon Chuyi, let it recognize them clearly, and tell it not to eat these scorpions as food.

In fact, I have already given instructions on the first day of the new year, but now both parties have advanced, so I still have to explain it once, and I will have to explain it again when they come back on the fifth or sixth day of the new year.

These two groups are natural enemies. Don't let both of them get hurt, otherwise Lin Changqing will suffer the loss.

Fortunately, Chuyi was very smart and obedient. He understood what was said immediately and expressed his understanding through the contract. Only then did Lin Changqing feel relieved!

Time flies and it's the end of the year again.

My father and second uncle just came back from hunting monsters yesterday and returned home safely. Neither of them suffered any injuries. However, two of our tribesmen still died this time. Injuries happen every year.

Perhaps when each demon hunting team is equipped with a Garuda, there may be fewer casualties. The only good news is that this year's demon hunting team has a good harvest, much more than last year.

Now Lin Changqing is not so resistant to his father and second uncle going out to hunt monsters.

Maybe it was because I was at the fifth level of Qi Refining, and I had Chuyi and a group of purple crystal scorpions. I had gained some strength, so I wanted to go out and find a monster to test my power. Now I understood the feelings of my father and second uncle.

As soon as they came back, the house became much more lively, and they could help out in the Baicao Garden, and on the fifth and sixth days of the New Year, they could help catch insects, which was really great! It reduced Lin Changqing's workload.

After the Chinese New Year, Lin Changqing will be fourteen years old, and his sister Lin Ling will be eight years old. Soon it will be the day for the family to test their spiritual roots. Lin Changqing asked his sister if she was afraid.
She said she was not afraid! Even if she didn't have spiritual roots, Lin Changqing would still support her in the future.

After hearing this, Lin Changqing laughed and promised her that he would support her in the future regardless of whether she had spiritual roots or not.

Half a month passed in a flash.

Today is the ninth day of the first lunar month, the day for the family to test their spiritual roots together. The whole family is already queuing up!

Thinking back to six years ago, I was also here, distraught when I learned that I had five spiritual roots. Unknowingly, so much time has passed.

Now I have reached the fifth level of Qi Refining. Time flies so fast!
The team moved forward slowly. Some people in the front were happy while others were disappointed. Of course, the majority were disappointed, after all, those with spiritual roots were still a minority.

After waiting for a long time, it was finally Lin Ling's turn. The little girl went in by herself, and others had to wait outside.

Only the person testing and the person being tested know whether the spiritual roots are good or not. This is to prevent the emergence of particularly outstanding spiritual roots.

If it is accidentally leaked out, it will be destroyed by the enemy before it grows up. Such examples are everywhere in the world of immortal cultivation. After waiting for a while, seeing the little girl come out with a smile on her face, I know that the result should be good. The family did not stay in the square for too long.

It was not until she got home that Lin Ling announced that she had both earth and fire spiritual roots, and her fire spiritual root was 82 points. Everyone was stunned by the thunder that exploded, and they could not believe it.

This was such great news that the parents, second uncle, and Lin Changqing looked at each other, suspecting that Lin Ling was playing a joke on them.

It was not until Lin Ling became a little angry and repeated it twice that everyone believed it was true because of her angry look.

This is simply a guaranteed foundation, with the Purple Palace and Golden Elixir in sight. It can be said that this is the person with the best spiritual roots in the Lin family in the past few hundred years! With such qualifications, one can enter the Qingyun Sect as a true disciple.

This matter alarmed the clan leader, who secretly went to Lin Changqing's house that night and discussed with everyone, and decided to unanimously tell the public that it was the three spiritual roots of earth, wood and fire. This would protect Lin Ling from being targeted by the family's enemies.

In addition, when Lin Ling builds her foundation, the family will provide half of the contribution points for the foundation-building pills she needs. The remaining half of the contribution points can also be borrowed from the family first, and then slowly repaid after the foundation is built.

From now on, Lin Ling cannot leave the ancestral mountain unless she has something important to do. If she really has to go out for something, she must report to the clan leader and must be accompanied by at least a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage before she can travel.

This can be regarded as the family's key training and protection! Compared with Lin Changqing, there is a huge difference. Lin Changqing even doubted whether Lin Ling had already established the foundation while he was still wandering in the Qi Refining Stage.

I decided in my heart that I should practice harder and not let the little girl leave me behind, otherwise I would lose all my face.

The family celebrated it by themselves, but didn't make it public. Keeping a low profile is the way to go now. After the 15th day of the first lunar month, my sister will go to the family school. She will soon embark on the path of cultivation, so I should work harder.

While everyone was there, Lin Changqing gave everyone a Zhu Fruit, even his sister Lin Ling, and told her that it would be best to use it when she breaks through from the third level of Qi Refining to the fourth level.

I had thought of an excuse long ago, saying that it was something that Grandpa had left behind before he left. Everyone thought it was something Grandpa had prepared in advance, so they accepted it without giving it much thought.

It has been a year or two since my family last took Zhuguo, so they should have digested it. Now is the right time to take it again.

In this way, after refining the red fruit again, mother will be able to reach the eighth level of Qi Refining soon. If father and second uncle successfully break through to the ninth level of Qi Refining, they will have to start preparing for building the foundation.

Spend two years to polish the spiritual energy to the great perfection. You can have two or three chances to try to build the foundation before you are sixty years old. With the help of the earth soul fruit, I believe there is a great chance that you can succeed in building the foundation.

He was particularly excited when he thought of this. Lin Changqing felt extremely satisfied that he could pave the way for his family to build a foundation!
I don't know how grandpa and aunt are doing now! Is the journey smooth?
According to the time calculation, the foundation-building pill should have been obtained by now. My aunt will be preparing to build the foundation in the rented cave, and my grandfather will be guarding her by her side.

Aunt, you must succeed!
Now the family has begun to prepare for the Fourteenth Uncle's foundation-building celebration, and will send invitations to the other twelve foundation-building families in Pingyang Prefecture.

The family also has some close friends who will be invited to the stadium, and some of Uncle Fourteen’s own good friends will also be sent invitations.

At that time, there might be some independent cultivators coming to join in the fun. After all, there were very few Purple Mansion cultivators in Pingyang Prefecture, and the Foundation Building Celebration was also a grand event. With more people, there would be more business opportunities, and naturally, some people would set up stalls to do business or something.

Lin Changqing actually wanted to take on the task of delivering invitations, so that he could walk around and have a look. At least he could go to the gambling stone shop and see if he could earn some spiritual stones for Lin Changliu.

It was a pity that if he left, there would be no one to take care of the Aoyun Peak Spiritual Field and Baicao Garden. So he had to wait for his grandfather and aunt to come back before he could leave.

Now you should still practice hard. When your cultivation level is high, you can go anywhere you want!
