Chapter 143: Chapter 93: Dad, Can’t I Cultivate Without a Spiritual Root?_1
After leaving the Nine Dragons Market, Lu Changsheng did not ride the Iron Feather Eagle.

Instead, he took out a flying artifact he had once acquired from a Robber Cultivator from his storage bag.

Now that he had broken through to the Energy Refinement Late Stage, he was also able to maneuver the flying artifact to travel.

Of course, Lu Changsheng had no intention of flying back to Qingzhu Mountain on the artifact.

That would be unrealistic.

He simply thought that since he had disguised himself, he might as well make the disguise convincing.

And to experience the flying artifact as well.

This flying artifact was shaped like a circular wheel.

Lu Changsheng channeled his spiritual power into it and threw it into the air before jumping onto it.

With a slight movement of his mental spirit and maintaining it with his spiritual power, the wheel began to fly.

The base speed of this flying artifact was not very fast.

It was only a bit faster than a spirit-steed.

But compared to a flying sword artifact, it consumed very little spiritual power.

If one wanted to increase speed for escaping or such, the consumption of spiritual power would increase exponentially.

After flying about ten kilometers, Lu Changsheng felt that one-tenth of his spiritual power was depleted.

“Such a flying artifact consumes quite a lot and is not suitable for long-distance travel,”

“For long-distance flight during the Qi Refinement Realm, one still needs to rely on flying mounts or flying boats that fly using spirit stones,” Lu Changsheng shook his head and said.

He then descended from the flying artifact, took out the Iron Feather Eagle from the spiritual pet bag, and mounted it.

“Flap! Flap!”

The Iron Feather Eagle spread its wings and soared into the sky, speeding towards Qingzhu Mountain.

Two days later.

Qingzhu Mountain.

Lu Changsheng, handsome and tall, dressed in a blue silk robe embroidered with bamboo leaves, dismounted from the Iron Feather Eagle.

The journey had been very smooth, with no incidents.

But now, with a cultivation level in the late stage of Qi Refinement, more than a hundred Superior Grade Talismans, about fifty Supreme Talismans, and a Talisman Treasure, Lu Changsheng also felt a sense of security in his heart.

It was not as worrisome as before during the trip.

After Lu Changsheng returned home, his wives and children were naturally overjoyed.

While chatting with Lu Miaoyun, he also learned that the testing for Spiritual Roots would begin in five days.

He also found out that during his last three days at home, one of his wives had conceived.

Meaning that the maid he had impregnated at the Nine Dragons Market was carrying his fiftieth child.

After spending some time at home with his wives and daughters, Lu Changsheng went to pay his respects to the Fourth Elder.

After all, having returned, he had to pay a visit.

Knowing that Lu Changsheng had come back for his children’s Spiritual Root testing, the Fourth Elder did not say much.

He inquired about Lu Changsheng’s past three months and checked his Talisman skills.

Five days later, the Lu Family’s testing for Spiritual Roots began.

Lu Changsheng, accompanied by Lu Lanshu, Lu Qing’er, Lu Zi’er, and Lu Lian’er, along with their four children, arrived at a square at Qingzhu Villa.

The ceremony for testing spiritual roots was held here.

There, Lu Changsheng saw many Lu Family Disciples.

He also saw the immortal seedlings that had come with him to the Lu Family.

All were there with their children to participate in the testing ceremony.

But although it was called a grand ceremony, there were not many people.

The number of children was around forty.

“Everyone, line up!”

The testing was presided over by an elder of the Lu Family.

Uncle Fu and several Lu Family Disciples maintained order.

Lu Changsheng also had his four little ones line up to wait for their spiritual roots to be tested.

The artifact used for testing spiritual roots was a crystal column about a meter long.

The children stepped forward, dropped a drop of blood on it, then touched it with both hands and waited for thirty seconds.

If they possessed spiritual roots, the crystal column would react.

“Now, the testing for Spiritual Roots begins!”

Seeing that the time was right, the Lu Family elder started and allowed the first child to step forward.

“Husband…”

All four of Lu Lanshu’s children looked tense and full of hope and expectation.

This moment would determine the fate of their children.

If they were without Spiritual Roots, they would only be able to become ordinary mortals.

Although with the support of the Lu Family and Lu Changsheng, their children could lead a life of wealth and ease in the secular world, as mothers, they naturally hoped their children would have Spiritual Roots and be able to cultivate.

To become exalted cultivators.

Seeing their nervous faces, Lu Changsheng sighed softly without saying a word.

He simply gently patted their hands, signaling them not to be too nervous.

“Next!”

“Next!”

“Next!”

One by one, the children stepped forward to be tested.

But the crystal column remained unresponsive.

Meaning they did not possess spiritual roots.

Seeing this scene, not only did the surrounding parents and elders feel nervous and disappointed,

the children in line also became tense.

Having grown up in the environment of Qingzhu Mountain, they were well aware that this moment concerned their future destiny.

Just then, a child placed their palm on the crystal column.

It revealed three layers of light with a faint red hue.

“Not bad, a Seventh Grade Spiritual Root, with a propensity for fire!”

The elder responsible for testing Spiritual Roots saw this and smiled.

“Ah! Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!”

“My son has Spiritual Roots, Seventh Grade Spiritual Roots!”

A young man not far away cried out excitedly after seeing this.

Lu Changsheng remembered him.

He was one of the immortal seedlings who had come to the Lu Family with him.

Unexpectedly, the man’s first child had Spiritual Roots, and they were Seventh Grade.

That was indeed fortunate.

“No loud noises,” Uncle Fu reminded in a low voice.

But he did not blame the man.

The testing continued and found another child with Eighth Grade Spiritual Roots.

It was the child of a direct descendant of the Lu Family.

And now, it was Lu Ping’an’s turn.
