Chapter 281: Spirit Testing Square
For the next period of time, Xu Feng stayed in the shop to accompany his Taoist partner and children, except for occasionally visiting some Taoist friends.
One morning, he walked out of the gate of Tongxin Pavilion with his newly dressed son.
"Husband, today is Qi'er's important day, why don't we go together,"
Luo Xinran and Xu Tinglan stood side by side, looking at Xu Liqi who stood obediently beside Xu Feng, asking for his opinion.
"No, you two should stay to take care of Feng'er and Lin'er. They are still young. Wan'er and I can go with him."
Xu Feng shook his head slightly and refused the two women's request to go together.
"Well, husband, you go early and come back early."
"Well, you go back!"
After giving instructions, Xu Feng and Liang Wan'er held Xu Liqi's hands on the left and right, and slowly disappeared in the endless stream of people on the street.
"Xinran, do you think Qi'er will be able to detect his spiritual roots?"
The two daughters of Xu Tinglan watched the three people go away, but did not return immediately as they were told. Instead, they stood at the door of Tongxin Pavilion, looking at the direction where Xu Feng and others left and talking, feeling anxious and worried.
"It's hard to say. Although both parents are cultivators, the possibility of the child having spiritual roots is very high, basically reaching a probability of 70%, but..."
Luo Xinran not only hopes that Xu Liqi has spiritual roots, but also hopes that Xu Lifeng, born to her, and Xu Lilin, born to Xu Tinglan, have spiritual roots. However, as she said, no one dares to guarantee this, because spiritual roots are innate.
Hearing that Luo Xinran was about to say the bad news, Xu Tinglan grabbed her hand and stopped her from saying anything more, saying in a firm tone:
"No, there will be no accidents. Qi'er will definitely have spiritual roots. He is so smart and spiritual."
Hearing this, Luo Xinran did not say much, but just accompanied her and stood there quietly.
"Shopkeeper, is your pavilion open for business today?"
A cultivator who was missing one ear in the early stage of foundation building was about to pass Tongxin Pavilion when he saw the two women standing at the door. He suddenly stopped and asked with a big sword.
"Yes, we are officially open for business today. Please come in, fellow Daoist."
Xu Tinglan calmed down, suppressed her worries in her heart, and said with a smile.
"Okay, that's good. I came here a few days ago. It was fellow Daoist Xu who received me at that time. I asked him to reserve a bottle of top-grade quality elixir, and he asked me to pick it up in two days.
I came here once the day before yesterday and found a sign saying "Closed for Business" hanging at your door, so I didn't dare to disturb you.
Since you are open today, I will take it away so that I don't have to make another trip."
The visitor had a loud voice and spoke very generously.
"Something happened in our store a few days ago, so we closed the door to customers."
The two women led the one-eared cultivator and explained as they walked.
The due dates of the two girls were very close, all five days ago. After Luo Xinran gave birth, Xu Feng decided to close the shop for five days. Xu Tinglan gave birth the next day.
Monks are different from ordinary people. After a few days of recuperation, the two girls have recovered like ordinary people, so Tongxin Pavilion opened today.
"Father, where are we going?"
Xu Liqi was walking on the busy street. He was originally shopping with his parents and was quite happy, but when he found that his parents looked worried, he couldn't help but feel confused and shook his father's hand and asked.
Xu Feng heard his son's question, lowered his head and looked at him, then answered gently:
"Qi'er, let's go to the spiritual root test square now, because you are already six years old, it's time to test your spiritual roots."
"After testing my spiritual roots, can I practice immortal arts and become an immortal like my father, my two aunts, and Aunt Lingdie?"
"Yes, Qi'er is really smart. You can practice immortal arts after your spiritual roots are tested."
Xu Feng's answer was somewhat insincere. At this moment, his heart was completely occupied by worry, fearing that his son's spiritual roots could not be tested and he was a mortal.
Liang Wan'er, who was walking on the other side of Xu Liqi, was also in a complicated mood at the moment, with uneasiness, worry, and expectation.
The family of three finally came to a square located at the easternmost part of Shanyangfang. It covers an area of about two acres and is paved with bluestone. At this moment, many cultivators have gathered.
These monks were old and young, male and female, and none of them came alone. They all brought one or two children of five or six years old. They were gathered in front of a wooden house in the center of the square, anxiously waiting for the soul test to begin.
"Let's go!"
Standing at the edge of the square, Xu Feng stopped and looked around, then squeezed his son's hand, his eyes gradually became firm, and he said in a firm voice.
Soul testing is not only very important to these children in the square, but also to the Jiugong Sect. Most of their disciples were recruited through the soul testing conference.
Therefore, they attach great importance to the soul testing ceremony. It is held four times a year, and each time they will send about six foundation-building monks to come to support the formation to ensure the smooth progress of the conference.
Xu Feng and Liang Wan'er, two foundation-building monks, stood in the crowd, like a crane standing out among chickens. The surrounding Qi-refining monks sensed their approach and did not dare to neglect them. They retreated to both sides, leaving a passage for their family of three to pass.
He walked to the front of the team and looked around. There were four or five foundation-building monks standing here, but Xu Feng did not find any familiar faces.
"Mother, is the spirit test about to start?"
Although Xu Liqi was smart, he still had the heart of a child. After standing in front of the wooden house for a while, he felt it was boring. He raised his head and asked Liang Wan'er.
"Qi'er, be good, wait a moment, it should start soon."
Liang Waner explained patiently.
"Coming!"
Xu Feng's expression suddenly froze, and then he raised his head and looked toward the northwest sky. He saw six figures approaching rapidly, and the swords under their feet were glowing and colorful.
After the flying sword landed, Xu Feng glanced around and found that one of the monks sent to host the spirit detection conference this time actually knew him. When he looked at the other person, the other person also noticed him and gave him a friendly look. , and nodded slightly at the same time.
The leader of the six monks, Xu Feng, had never seen him before. He was at the eighth level of cultivation. He stood in front of the wooden house and glanced at everyone in front of him with a calm expression, showing no emotion at all.
"My name is Yao Yuan. I was appointed by the sect to host this spirit testing conference. Now I announce that this spirit testing conference has officially begun."
After he finished speaking, he ignored everyone's reaction, turned around, took out a token, and poured a burst of mana into it. Then he saw that the door of the wooden house that was originally closed was opened.
"Now please form three teams and enter the three rooms 'A', 'B' and 'C' respectively to conduct the spiritual root test."
After the eighth-level foundation-building monk entered the wooden house, a third-level foundation-building monk gave instructions to everyone.
