Immortal Clan: I have a Tree of Creation

The Zhou family residence.

Zhou Chengnan and his wife stood guard in front of their son.

Four-year-old Zhou Yuanqing blinked her big eyes. Although she didn't know what her parents were doing, she was happy.

"Let's begin..."

Zhou Chengnan took out a pale yellow talisman.

He bit his fingertip, and the vibrant blood stained the talisman paper.

Basic spirit talismans like the spirit-testing talisman can be activated using a martial artist's essence and blood.

The blood spread rapidly... Suddenly, as if it had reached its limit, the talisman spontaneously combusted.

As the talisman burned, a beam of white light emanated from it.

"Now!"

Fu Guang aimed at Zhou Yuanqing and swept his gaze from top to bottom.

Its small body suddenly became somewhat ethereal, and a phantom sapling suddenly appeared.

Five branches, representing the five elements and five colors.

Four of them were only about an inch long.

However, the green branch representing the "wood spirit root" stands out alone.

The wood spirit root was a full two inches and nine-tenths inches long, shining brightly.

"As expected, my son has a low-grade wood spirit root..." Zhou Chengnan knew in his heart that he had expected it, but he still couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

He and his wife looked at each other, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.

One inch of spiritual root is the threshold for low-grade spiritual root. Most ordinary mortals possess some mixed spiritual roots, but very few can reach the level of one inch.

But now, his third son, Zhou Yuanqing, is not just a low-grade wood spirit root.

The spiritual root is two inches and nine-tenths inches tall, which is almost the limit of a low-grade spiritual root, and only a hair's breadth away from a mid-grade spiritual root.

Even Wang Shuzhen, who was not skilled in cultivation, could realize what this meant.

—Qing'er possesses an exceptional talent for cultivating immortality, one in ten thousand!

As the talismanic light gradually subsided, a thought struck Zhou Chengnan.

Taking advantage of the last moments before the talisman burned out, he aimed the talisman's light at himself.

The five-colored radiance flashed by in an instant and was not clearly visible.

But... he vaguely saw a green spiritual root about an inch long standing in the middle!

"Just as I thought..."

"Qing'er's wood spirit root gave birth to the Creation Tree, and I obtained a partial, incomplete wood spirit root."

Zhou Chengnan remained calm and did not tell his wife about it.

The idea of ​​spiritual roots growing out of thin air is simply too incredible.

If this information were to be leaked accidentally, it could very well lead to a fatal disaster, and no one in the family should know about it for the time being.

Wang Shuzhen picked up Zhou Yuanqing, feeling both expectant and apprehensive.

"Cheng Nan, Qing'er has spiritual roots, should we send him there...?"

Zhou Chengnan understood immediately; he knew what his wife meant.

A spiritual root is merely a qualification for cultivating immortality. Even having a low-grade spiritual root does not mean that one can rest easy from now on.

Anshan County is located south of Liang State, and the nearest cultivation sect is more than 100,000 miles away.

The third brother, Zhou Yuanqing, wanted to embark on the path of cultivation, but there were actually only two paths.

They could either be sent to a powerful cultivation clan in the county town, in exchange for their future freedom, in exchange for cultivation techniques, resources, and the training provided by the cultivation family.

But the cost would be too high, and those powerful families wouldn't do a losing proposition.

Even if a cultivator from another family grows up, he still needs to serve his family.

However, if one does not choose a family of cultivators, the only path left is to become a rogue cultivator.

The Liang Kingdom government does not establish cultivation academies. Without connections or influence, it is impossible to obtain cultivation resources from the government.

That's just how the world is; the path to advancement is already crowded with people.

Want to transcend social classes? A low-grade spiritual root alone... isn't enough!

"No rush." ​​Zhou Chengnan pondered for a moment.

"Qing'er is still young, it's not appropriate to make this public, let's talk about it later."

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

The third child, Zhou Yuanqing, is only four years old this year, just old enough to start school.

According to the information Zhou Chengnan had gathered, starting cultivation before the age of sixteen would not affect a cultivator's path to immortality.

In other words, there are still twelve years to take things slowly.

However, the information may not be entirely accurate.

Zhou Chengnan set himself a ten-year deadline; he had to find a path to immortality for Qing'er within ten years.

The best choice is to join a Taoist sect, as this is the best way to receive the best inheritance.

A distance of over 100,000 li means crossing mountains and rivers, leaving Anshan County, and even leaving Pingjiang Prefecture.

For ordinary people, the long journey itself is somewhat unattainable.

Without resources or strength, they couldn't even reach the gates of the Immortal Sect.

"Ten years..." Zhou Chengnan clenched his fist.

For the sake of his son's future, and for the sake of the Zhou family's future.

Zhou Yuanqing's possession of spiritual roots was not publicized.

Even the eldest and second eldest sons were unaware of it.

It's not necessarily a good thing when a genius comes from an ordinary family.

Zhou Chengnan worked even harder, and the fourth realm of martial arts, the Bone Refining Realm, brought about a greater increase in strength.

He alone is almost equivalent to five ordinary strong men.

Once I rent fifteen acres of land from Old Sun's family next year, I can finally unleash my full potential.

Farming is just the beginning; with twenty-five acres of fertile land, one has the capital to get started.

Everything is developing in a good direction.

Several months later, one day.

School is over.

As soon as Zhou Yuanshan got home, he changed his clothes and prepared to go to the fields to help his father with the work.

The younger brother, Zhou Yuanqing, was very sensible and helped his older brother by handing him clothes and carrying a bamboo basket.

"Xiaoqing, you stay home and wait for your brother, don't come out."

"it is good."

With a creak, the door opened gently.

But the second son, Zhou Yuanyu, had also come home from school.

She skipped and hopped all the way, looking very happy.

Zhou Yuanshan found it strange that his sister was smiling so brightly today.

"Brother, look!"

"What......."

Zhou Yuanyu stretched out her arm, on which two small silver bracelets dangled, quite exquisite. "Aren't they pretty?"

"It's beautiful! But..." Zhou Yuanshan hesitated for a moment, "Sis, this bracelet doesn't seem to belong to our family."

"Yes."

Zhou Yuanyu's eyes crinkled with pride.

"I traded three grains of malt sugar with Wan'er for this."

Little Zhou Yuanqing was very curious and ran to his older sister's side, carefully touching her new bracelet.

"Little Qing, here's one for you."

Zhou Yuanshan watched from the side, scratching the back of his head, somewhat at a loss.

Around noon, a startled cry from Wang Shuzhen, the mother, drew Zhou Chengnan's attention.

The couple watched their daughter proudly showing off her silver bracelet, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Yu'er, this belongs to someone else, how can you accept it?"

"Mother, I traded three grains of malt sugar for it." Zhou Yuanyu realized something and looked somewhat aggrieved.

Zhou Chengnan rubbed his temples, trying to calm himself down.

"Yu'er, silver bracelets are the most precious things in other people's homes, but you only have this one pair. However, your mother makes you some wheat candy every day."

"You can't change it next time, you hear me?"

"But......"

After a long lecture from the couple, Zhou Yuanyu was on the verge of tears and reluctantly handed the bracelet to her parents.

Zhou Chengnan personally led Zhou Yuanyu to Chen Xiaowan's home in the same village to apologize.
