I might have been playing a fake cultivation game.

As the white jade plate on the table emitted a bright light, Zhou Yunshen couldn't help but hold his breath.

In the real world, in an elegantly decorated bedroom, the lamp casts an orange glow. A handsome young man holds a mobile phone, staring at the light emanating from the screen, and can't help but hold his breath.

This young man was Chen Xin'an.

Under his gaze, the light emanating from the jade plate on the phone screen eventually condensed into nine pillars of light, floating above the jade plate.

One second later, one of the beams of light dimmed and went out, while the other eight beams of light became brighter.

The next second, another beam of light dimmed and went out, while the remaining seven beams of light became brighter.

Another second passed, and another beam of light dimmed and went out, while the remaining six beams of light became brighter.

At this moment, Zhou Yunshen also noticed something and said, "Brother, does the number of beams of light remaining on this disc at the end indicate my grade of spiritual root?"

"That's right." Chen Xin'an, who was standing to the side, nodded and gave him a definite answer.

As they spoke, another beam of light dimmed and went out, leaving only five beams of light floating on the white jade plate.

Immediately afterwards, one of the beams of light dimmed and went out, leaving only four beams remaining.

Standing to the side, Chen Xin'an said in a low voice, "He's already at the fourth rank. If he advances one more rank, he'll be the same as me."

He possesses a third-grade spiritual root.

Among cultivators in this world, a third-grade spiritual root is already quite good, belonging to the high-grade category.

Whether in a sect or a powerful family, those with superior spiritual roots are the focus of training.

As soon as Chen Xin'an finished speaking, another beam of light dimmed and went out, leaving only three beams of light.

This means that Zhou Yunshen is now guaranteed at least a third-grade spiritual root.

Zhou Yunshen held his breath and stared at the remaining three beams of light, feeling both nervous and expectant.

Under Zhou Yunshen's expectant gaze, one of the three pillars of light floating on the white jade plate dimmed and extinguished at a speed visible to the naked eye, while the remaining two pillars suddenly shone brightly.

Second rank!

At that moment, Zhou Yunshen's heart was pounding wildly, as if it were about to jump out of his chest.

He roared inwardly, "First-class! Give me first-class!"

As if hearing Zhou Yunshen's inner cry, one of the remaining two beams of light began to dim at a visible speed until it went out completely, while the remaining single beam of light shone brightly.

The light was so bright it was almost blinding.

One product!

When the test results came out, Zhou Yunshen let out a long sigh of relief, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.

That's great, the test results show it's a first-grade spiritual root.

It wasn't in vain that he added five points to his cultivation aptitude; those five points seem to have been quite effective.

Zhou Yunshen asked, "Brother, is this considered the test complete?"

No one answered his question.

Zhou Yun Shen turned to look at Chen Xin An standing next to him, and saw that Chen Xin An was staring at the only remaining dazzling pillar of light on the white jade plate, his expression somewhat blank.

Zhou Yunshen had no choice but to ask the same question again.

Chen Xin'an then realized what was happening and said, "Yes, the test is complete."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yunshen nodded and withdrew his hand from the white jade plate. Instantly, the pillar of light floating on the white jade plate dimmed and then disappeared.

Zhou Yunshen then asked, "Hey brother, is this magical artifact you use to test spiritual roots reliable? Could it have any errors or omissions?"

Chen Xin'an looked at him and said in a low voice, "I haven't heard of any problems with the Spirit Testing Platform. If you're not sure, you can test it again."

"Okay, then I'll test it again," Zhou Yunshen nodded and said.

As he spoke, he reached out and placed his hand on the spirit-testing platform.

However, this time he extended his right hand.

The test results were the same as before, both indicating a first-grade spiritual root.

Now, Zhou Yun Shen was finally completely relieved, his face beaming with joy, just like someone who had just won five million in the lottery.

No, he's happier now than if he'd won five million.

After all, this is a first-grade spiritual root. According to the information he has gathered from lurking in the forum recently, there are very few players who have a third-grade spiritual root, which is already worth posting to show off. He has only seen one second-grade spiritual root, and he has not seen a single first-grade spiritual root.

Of course, Tieba (forum) doesn't represent everything.

For example, even if he were to be diagnosed with a first-grade spiritual root, he would not post about it on the forum to show off. But it is undeniable that his first-grade spiritual root is extremely rare and uncommon among players.

After the test, Zhou Yunshen asked again, "Brother, do you think there are any more powerful spiritual roots than Grade One, such as Super Grade One spiritual roots?"

Chen Xin'an didn't seem inclined to speak at that moment, only saying, "I don't know."

Seeing that Chen Xin'an didn't seem very interested, Zhou Yunshen wisely refrained from saying anything more.

Put yourself in Chen Xin'an's shoes. If he only had a third-grade spiritual root and witnessed someone else being tested to have a first-grade spiritual root, he wouldn't be very excited either.

This is human nature.

Not long after, Chen Xin'an left the small courtyard where Zhou Yunshen was, and Zhou Yunshen saw Chen Xin'an to the door.

"Congratulations, Brother Zhou! With your talent for cultivation, your future path is definitely on a smooth road. Don't forget your brother when you become successful!" At this moment, Chen Xin'an had recovered and congratulated Zhou Yunshen with a smile.

Zhou Yunshen replied with a smile, "Young Master Chen, you saved my life. We've been through thick and thin together. How could I possibly forget you?"

Chen Xin'an nodded, took a delicate ring off his finger, handed it to Zhou Yunshen, and said, "Brother Zhou, consider this my congratulatory gift to you."

"What is this?" Zhou Yunshen asked after taking the exquisite ring.

"A storage ring," Chen Xin'an said in a low voice. "You can't use it now, but once you reach the first level of Qi Refining and develop spiritual power, you'll be able to use it."

It's a storage ring!

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yunshen's eyes lit up.

This is a really good thing; it's practically a standard feature in cultivation novels.

But in this world, it should be extremely precious and rare.

He didn't find this item on the body of the young master of the Qin family.

Zhou Yun Shen gently stroked the storage ring in his hand, and without any formalities, sincerely bowed and thanked him, saying, "Young Master Chen, thank you very much."

……

Chen Xin'an left in a horse-drawn carriage.

After returning to the courtyard, Zhou Yunshen said to Aunt Liu and Zhou Xiaoya who were standing there, "I need to study my martial arts in my room and can't be disturbed. Aunt Liu, Xiaoya, you don't need to call me when you eat later, just save me a portion."

"Yes, young master," Aunt Liu nodded in agreement, her face showing respect.

Zhou Xiaoya then asked, "Second Brother, how long will this... take?"

Zhou Yunshen said, "I don't know. Anyway, you can eat by yourselves. You don't need to call me."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the main house.

He couldn't wait to start cultivating his "Red Sun Burning Heaven Scripture".
