Chapter 150 Testing Spiritual Roots, Deception
A thought suddenly flashed through Xia Anhe's mind, making her eyes light up. She looked at Shen Baisu expectantly and asked, "Miss Shen, is it enough to cultivate if you have spiritual roots?"

"Can you test my spiritual roots? Could you test mine too?"

"If I had spiritual roots, could you teach me how to cultivate as well?"

After listening, Shen Baisu fell silent.

Testing spiritual roots is no problem, but teaching Xia Anhe cultivation...

If Xia Anhe had a wood-elemental root, she wouldn't mind teaching her. After all, she already had so many students, one more wouldn't matter.

The worst-case scenario is that Xia Anhe has a different spiritual root.

Different spiritual roots require different teaching methods, which is quite troublesome.

Seeing Shen Baisu hesitate, Xia Anhe felt a little uneasy, and then countless negative thoughts flashed through her mind.

Shen Baisu probably also went through a lot of trouble to become a cultivator, so why should she teach her with just a few words?
Moreover, they had only met for one day, so Shen Baisu had even less reason to teach her...

"Having spiritual roots means you can cultivate? Then I want to be tested too!" Elder Xia said, his eyes suddenly becoming devout as he looked at Shen Baisu expectantly, "Young friend Shen."

Being looked at like that by an old man nearing seventy was unbearable for Shen Baisu.

She took a deep breath and finally nodded to the two of them. "I can help you test your spiritual roots, but I can also think of ways to teach you."

If both of them happen to have wood spiritual roots, she will take them to the Imperial Capital Sect. If they have other spiritual roots, don't she have other fellow disciples?

At that time, we might be able to use their connections to find someone.

After figuring things out, Shen Baisu felt much better, and she took out the crystal flower used to test her spiritual roots.

Xia Anhe and Old Master Xia were overjoyed to see her agree, their eyes filled with delight.

Shen Baisu placed the crystal flowers in front of the two of them. "Put your hands here. Which of you will go first?"

"Of course I'll go first!" Old Xia said, reaching out to place it on the crystal flower.

Although Xia Anhe didn't say anything, she reacted much faster than Old Master Xia. As soon as Old Master Xia reached out his hand, she had already placed her hand on the crystal flower.

Upon seeing this, Old Master Xia's eyes widened. He glared at Xia Anhe and demanded, "Don't you understand the importance of respecting the elderly and caring for the young?"

Xia Anhe: "..."

After a moment of silence, she reluctantly removed her hand and said with a hint of helplessness, "Fine, you go first, sir."

Seeing this, Old Xia was satisfied and placed his hand on the crystal flower.

A moment later, the petals of the crystal flower began to change color, and within two minutes, a rich green and blue hue filled all the petals.

Upon seeing this, Shen Baisu's eyes flashed with surprise, "A top-grade water and wood spiritual root?"

When Shen Baisu said that, Elder Xia didn't react immediately and didn't quite understand, so he was a little confused. But Xia Anhe, who was next to him, understood and exclaimed in shock, "Is Elder Xia's talent that good?"

Mr. Xia:? !
Am I really that talented? That would be wonderful!
"So, I can cultivate now?"

Will this kind of good fortune finally come to an old man like me?

Old Xia stood there in a daze.

Seeing that he hadn't taken his hand down yet, Xia Anhe reached out to help him, saying, "It's my turn, I'll do it."

As she spoke, Xia Anhe directly removed Old Xia's hand from the crystal flower and eagerly placed her hand on it.

Half a minute later, the color of the crystal flower began to change.

Seeing this, Xia Anhe knew she was in the game, and her eyes lit up with joy. However, she still stared intently at the crystal flower, wanting to see just how high her talent really was.

When Shen Baisu tested Elder Xia's spiritual root just now, Xia Anhe understood that the type of spiritual root was determined by color, while the grade of the spiritual root should be determined by the number of petals that were dyed.

“Purple-red? Red should represent a fire elemental root, right? So, I have a ninth-grade fire elemental root, is that right?” Xia Anhe said, raising his eyes to look at Shen Baisu.

As she spoke, she tried to remove her hand from the crystal flower, but Shen Baisu stopped her, saying, "Don't move."

Upon hearing this, Xia Anhe continued to press her hand on the crystal flower. She looked down at it and noticed that while the red only stained nine petals, the purple filled the tenth petal. A flicker of confusion crossed Xia Anhe's eyes, but she quickly realized something. She blinked and looked expectantly at Shen Baisu, "Purple...does that represent a lightning spirit root?"

Under her expectant gaze, Shen Baisu nodded to her, "Ninth-grade fire spirit root, top-grade lightning spirit root."

Xia Anhe: !

Am I really that talented?! My luck is off the charts!
Xia Anhe was overjoyed, and Old Xia, who had belatedly realized his own great talent, was also very happy.

"Elder Xia, I also have a top-grade spiritual root! I can cultivate now!"

Old Xia: "Me too!"

The two shared the good news with each other face to face, but that still couldn't express their joy. In the end, the old man and the young man even held hands and started spinning around.

For a fleeting moment, a thought flashed through Shen Baisu's mind: It's so good to be young.

As the old man and the young man were circling around, they suddenly thought of something, so they stopped and turned to look at Shen Baisu.

Xia Anhe: "Miss Shen, I want to cultivate."

Elder Xia: "Young friend Shen, I'd like to too."

Xia Anhe: "I won't learn for nothing. I'm willing to become your apprentice. You can name your own apprenticeship gift and fee, or even tuition. You can name your own price. Please."

Old Xia: "Me too."

Shen Baisu: "..."

After a few seconds of silence, Shen Baisu said to the two of them, "Well, it's not impossible for you two to cultivate."

Upon hearing this, Xia Anhe and Old Master Xia's eyes lit up instantly. Xia Anhe reacted quickly and immediately called out to Shen Baisu, "Master!"

As he spoke, he was about to kneel down and kowtow.

Seeing this, Elder Xia followed suit, "Master..."

Xia Anhe's leg had only bent halfway, and he had only managed to utter the word "Master Xia" when Shen Baisu interrupted him.

"You're not becoming my apprentices, nor am I teaching you two."

Upon hearing this, Xia Anhe and Old Man Xia immediately suppressed their joy and began to look at Shen Baisu with trepidation and pity.

Shen Baisu calmly addressed the two, "I only teach those with wood elemental roots. You two, one with water-wood elemental roots and the other with thunder-fire elemental roots, are not suitable to follow me, but..."

Upon hearing the first part of the sentence, both Xia Lao and Xia Anhe were on edge. But when they heard the words "only two words," they knew that a turning point had arrived. Instantly, they focused their attention and stared intently at Shen Baisu.

“I have a senior uncle who has the spiritual root of water and wood. I can recommend you to be his disciple.” Shen Baisu said this to Elder Xia.

Upon hearing this, Elder Xia immediately became happy. "Really?" he exclaimed, then thanked her profusely, "Thank you, Senior Sister Shen."

Shen Baisu: "...?"

So this is what you call a senior sister?
"And me? Miss Shen, and me?" Xia Anhe asked impatiently from the side.

Shen Baisu: "I have a senior brother who has a thunder and fire spiritual root. I can introduce you to him."

Xia Anhe followed suit, saying in the same manner as Elder Xia, "Thank you, Uncle Shen."

Shen Baisu: "..."

She really has an amazing way of hitting the target.

However, in order to find her senior uncle and senior brother as soon as possible, she would temporarily accept these junior brothers and sisters as her disciples. Moreover, the two of them were indeed highly talented, and if she really took them as her disciples, her senior uncle and senior brother would not lose out.

"Well, before I introduce you, I need your help with something," Shen Baisu said seriously to the two of them.

Xia Anhe and Old Man Xia said in unison, "Please speak freely."

Shen Baisu: "I haven't seen my senior uncle and senior brother for a long time. I don't know where they are now, so you two will have to find them yourselves."

Mr. Xia, Xia Anhe: ?
