Chapter 118: Wind Spiritual Roots, Amazing Aptitude (First Update)
Accompanied by Li Wei, Li Hu walked briskly to the spirit-testing platform.

Looking at this somewhat unfamiliar child, many tribesmen whispered to each other.

"Is this the child that the ancestor brought back from outside?"

"He looks no different from other kids. Why did he win the favor of the ancestor?"

"What do you think of his spiritual roots? Can he be of the middle grade?"

"If you don't have a middle-grade one, it will be fine if you can have one spiritual root and reach 20 marks."

"That's true. After all, we have the support of the ancestors. Those two girls will definitely be able to enter the clan territory, right?"

As a "cat boy" raised by a big white cat, Li Hu's hearing is no worse than that of ordinary monks. But he couldn't understand what others were saying, and only felt a faint sour taste.

He actually didn't quite understand what it meant to test spiritual roots.

But seeing that other children and family members took it so seriously, he couldn't help but look up at the figure on the platform that he was attached to and trusted: "Touch?"

Li Qing couldn't help but smile. Without saying anything, he used telepathy to communicate: "Well, just put your hand on it, that's it."

Li Hu seemed to be encouraged. Without hesitation, he followed the other children and placed his hand on the spirit-testing platform.

In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on the spirit-testing platform in the center.

The next moment, a light blue light rose up, brighter than ever before, causing the mortals who came with the children to cover their eyes.

"Huh? Green light, is this another wood spirit root?"

"This brilliance is quite dazzling! It has never been seen before."

"Could it be the legendary top-grade spiritual root?"

The other cultivators could not help but be amazed and no longer had any doubts about Li Qing's vision.

However, on the spirit-testing platform, the green light scattered and formed a mark that stunned everyone present.

They turned out to be whirlwind-shaped symbols, with colors so light that they were almost transparent.

"Wind, wind spiritual root?!" There was an uproar at the scene.

Only Li Qing was surprised but also took it for granted: "Feng Conghu! It's normal for the adopted son of the big white cat to have wind spiritual roots."

The whirlwind marks lit up one by one, and the mortals were still counting "one, two, three", but the monks could count them all with just a thought.

"Am I dreaming?" Li Wei nudged Li Lang with his elbow. "He actually has more than ninety marks?"

Li Lang remained silent.

The second elder, Li Fang, stood up and came to Li Qing: "Ah Qing, you have brought back a unicorn child for our Li family!"

Li Yao, Li Ye and Li Yu also expressed their congratulations.

Li Qing was very proud in his heart, but he just smiled lightly on his face: "No way! I took him in because I thought he had a kind heart and was filial. His spiritual root aptitude is a pleasant surprise."

Suddenly, the whirlwind mark suddenly collapsed and turned into starlight and dissipated.

Then, the leaf mark, the flame mark, the small sword mark, and the water drop mark flashed one after another until the yellow light spot disappeared, and the spirit test came to an end.

"He actually has four low-grade spiritual roots of wood, fire, metal and water?" Some tribesmen were filled with disbelief.

"There is only one of each, so there is not much difference between having it and not having it!" Most of the tribesmen only cared about his wind spiritual root.

Next to the spirit-testing platform, clan leader Li Hui took a deep breath and waved his hand to stop the clan member who was about to announce the result.

Although he had some selfish motives, the old man, who had worked hard for his family all his life, said in a trembling voice: "Xiao Huzi! Can you test it again?"

Li Hu was still a little confused: Why, it’s different from others?
Hearing Li Hui's request, he subconsciously looked up at Li Qing: "Ah?"

This time, Li Qing did not hide anything anymore. He walked down the platform openly and came to Li Hu through the gap made by the tribesmen.

"Grandpa didn't see it clearly just now. Let's try again!" Li Qing smiled and rubbed his head.

"Yes!" Li Hu nodded seriously, looked at Li Hui comfortingly, and then put his hand on the spirit-testing platform again. A green light rose, and the mark appeared.

This time, everyone was trying their best to count the number of whirlwind marks.

"Eighty-nine, ninety-one, ninety-three, ninety-five, ninety-six!"

If there are less than thirty of them, they are low-grade spiritual roots; if there are sixty of them, they are medium-grade spiritual roots; if there are ninety of them, they are high-grade spiritual roots.

The ninety-one to ninety-nine roots are earth spirit roots that are extremely rare in the world.

"Yes, it's ninety-six! This is the legendary earth spirit root!" Although the tribesman in charge of recording was a cultivator, his hands were still shaking as he recorded the number crookedly.

Li Hui has already reported on his behalf: "Li Hu, ninety-six marks, wind-type earth spirit roots..."

He almost announced the result directly, but he held back for a moment and continued: "One mark each, low-grade wood, fire, gold, and water spiritual roots..."

As a result, almost everyone's attention was focused on him. The front yard of the ancestral hall was so quiet that one could hear the sound of a pin drop to the ground.

"Passed!" Li Hui waved his hand vigorously.

Instantly, thunderous cheers rang out throughout the Li family's territory.

When Li Hu heard the word "passed", he knew he had passed.

Although he didn't understand what it was for, he still happily held Li Qing's hand and smiled so hard that his fangs were exposed.

"Like a little fool!" Li Qing pinched his cheeks. "But congratulations, Xiao Huzi, this talent is truly genius!"

After the tribesmen’s excitement came to an end, Li Qingcai pressed his hand down slightly: “Everyone, please be quiet!”

All the clan members then stopped and looked at the family's first great foundation-building cultivator.

"It is certainly a great joy that Li Hu has detected the wind-type earth spirit root. However, if a tree stands out in the forest, the wind will destroy it. This matter cannot be made public."

"After the soul-testing ceremony is over, all cultivators, except the clan leader and four elders, will sign a secret-keeping contract. As for the ordinary members of the clan, the clan leader will use the dream-making method to replace their memories."

Li Hui said hurriedly: "That's fine, but how do we determine Li Hu's qualifications?"

Li Qing took the registration booklet and flicked it with his hand, and the line of crooked small characters changed automatically.

"Li Hu, sixty-nine marks, wind-type top-grade spiritual root..."

"Just follow this record." He handed the book back, "My Li family can still protect the lower-quality spiritual roots!"

After saying that, he did not return to the podium. He waved to Li Wei, and took Li Hu and the family of four to the outside of the crowd.

"Greetings, Uncle Qing!" Li Wei's brother and sister-in-law, holding their two daughters, bowed respectfully to Li Qing. There was no trace of the smug look they had just had.

Li Qing looked at the young couple of his grandchildren and sighed, "You two, please stop being so petty."

"I refused to speak for you back then because the situation in the clan was unclear. Your aptitude is not of the middle level, and if you force yourself to practice, you will only be a pawn in the end."

"It's better to stay in the village and be a mortal in the secular world. Even if the Li family is defeated, the Zhang and Chen families will never dare to massacre mortals due to the laws of the Xuan Palace."

The couple remained silent.

Li Qing had no choice but to say, "This year, the clan has relaxed the quota, and Ling'er and Yue'er can both get in. You guys are making it seem like I'm following personal feelings."

The couple then showed joy on their faces and thanked in unison: "Thank you, Uncle Qing, for your kindness! In the future, Ling'er and Yue'er will practice in the clan land, and we will trouble you to take care of them."

Li Qing felt helpless but didn't show it on his face. He pointed at Li Wei and said, "We have their aunt here, so we won't suffer any loss!"

After that, Li Wei was left to take care of her brother and sister-in-law, while Li Qing took Li Hu and flew towards the family spiritual field, but he did not even watch the spirit-testing ceremony that followed.

"Today, there is one more important thing!"
