Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

This is also why the Twelve Great Houses and Thirty-Six Noble Clans of the Tianyuan Daoist Sect have been increasing in number without decrease, more and more over time.

If the Zhou Family had a fixed quota, then even ordinary dual Spirit Root talents like Zhou Yu Hong, Zhou Yu Sheng, and Zhou Yuqi would have a chance to enter the Tianyuan Daoist Sect for cultivation.

Mo Wanting smiled, ”Well, I can’t make that decision. After all, the Zhou Family’s contribution is insufficient, and they have only been in Zhongzhou for a short time, and haven’t cultivated more outstanding talents for the Daoist Sect, so issuing a fixed quota isn’t easy.”

”Contribution? Our ancestor of the Zhou Family contributed not little during the Great War in the North Sea. As for the so-called time issue, isn’t the Dao Palace no longer considering that, as you said earlier? And more outstanding talents?” Zhou Junxiao’s gaze fell on the few remaining individuals who hadn’t been tested yet, ”I wonder how many outstanding talents it takes to satisfy the Daoist Sect?”

Mo Wanting followed his gaze, also turning her attention to the young boys and girls there.

She covered her mouth and chuckled lightly: ”Just these few people, I’m afraid it’s still not enough.”

”Is that so?”

Zhou Junxiao felt a bit disappointed in his heart.

...

Time progressed from morning to afternoon.

The most poisonous sunlight had passed, but the people left were extremely restless.

”No Spirit Root, get down!”

”No Spirit Root, get down!”

Voices echoed from Zhou Haiye’s mouth, devoid of the earlier gentleness of a senior family member, leaving only coldness and impatience.

This had to do with his son Zhou Yuqi not being noticed by Mo Wanting and thus unable to enter the Tian Nan Dao Palace for cultivation.

He now just wanted the Spirit Testing Ceremony to end quickly!

Luckily, only two more people were left, and they were familiar ones.

”Zhou Qingyu!”

”Present!”

Zhou Qingyu took a deep breath, glanced at her brother Zhou Fuqiu, and stepped onto the high platform under his encouraging gaze.

The array light flowed around.

The girl’s heart was uneasy and expectant... quickly turning to despair!

In just a moment, the array light dissipated.

Such a quick pace, such a familiar scene, exactly like those of her peers without Spirit Roots.

Zhou Qingyu stiffly turned her head and looked at Zhou Haiye.

The other person calmly spoke four words.

”No Spirit Root.”

The girl walked down the high platform dazedly, a bit lost.

The gazes behind her were more scorching than the fiery sun above.

She knew, the owners of those gazes included her clansmen, Zhou Tuhao who called her ”Sister Mao Mao,” and her classmates who had played with her for the past six years.

But from today onwards, everything would change.

They could stay in the clan and continue cultivation, becoming lofty immortal cultivators.

While she would have to go to the mortal settlement of Coral Town to lead a mundane and mediocre life.

In her muddled state, a pair of slightly cold hands landed on her head and gave a fond ruffle.

”Don’t worry, I’m here.”

That hand left, brushing past her.

Zhou Qingyu stopped in her tracks, her eyes reddening.

”Brother.”

If that back was slender at that moment, it felt tall and towering, just like their father in the old days.

As he stepped onto the high platform, the array suddenly activated.

In just an instant!

A beam of azure blue light bypassed the other four colors and directly surged into the boy’s body.

The compass in Zhou Haiye’s hand spun crazily, trembling without pause.

This rapid reaction caught everyone off guard.

After all, even sensing Spirit Qi would usually take a long time for twelve-year-olds, requiring them to close their eyes, stabilize their soul, and calm their mind under the array’s aid to feel the Spirit Qi of the corresponding Spiritual Root attribute.

How could it be like Zhou Fuqiu, who reacted in just an instant?

Doesn’t this mean his affinity with Spirit Qi is extremely high?

Furthermore, there was only one color!

Could it be?

”Heavenly Spirit Root!”

”Water Type Heavenly Spirit Root!”

”Zhou Fuqiu actually has an innate Water Type Heavenly Spirit Root, so doesn’t this mean he is destined to become a Nascent Soul True Master in the future?”

”Our Zhou Family has hope for the future!”

Suddenly, the whole place was in an uproar, filled with exclamations.

In the vast Spirit Testing Square, all eyes were fixed on Zhou Fuqiu.

The envy and jealousy of his peers, the delight and exhilaration of family elders, and the shock and ecstasy of Golden Core Ascendant Masters.

Zhou Fuqiu lifted his head, meeting Zhou Haiye’s gaze.

On Seventh Uncle’s face, uncontrollable expressions of astonishment, shock, regret, and a fleeting trace of murderous intent appeared successively!

At the moment of eye contact, Zhou Fuqiu seemed unaware, looking toward the spectators’ seats.

The family head, Zhou Junxiao, wore a look of sudden realization.

The family heads of the Lin and Yin families were similar to the others, besides surprise, they also showed a hint of envy.

As for that woman?

Mo Wanting sat on the chair, raised her brows, and revealed a satisfied smile.

Compared to dual Spirit Root talent, the Heavenly Spirit Root was undoubtedly superior by a notch.

Even though Heavenly Spirit Root cultivators were said to have difficulty achieving Divine Transformation, for the current Tianyuan Daoist Sect, the mere potential for smooth advancement to the Nascent Soul Stage was enough to take Zhou Fuqiu seriously.

Currently, the Tianyuan Daoist Sect was in dire need of Nascent Soul True Masters; otherwise, they wouldn’t have allowed the former Guest Elder of Star Gate to join the Sect beyond the norm, nor would they have given Hui Yuanhong a place in the four halls of Tian Nan Dao Palace.

As long as Zhou Fuqiu was brought back, it would be equivalent to her bringing back a Nascent Soul True Master.

”Excellent! Is this child named Zhou Fuqiu?”

Zhou Junxiao exhaled a breath of turbid Qi and steadied his mind, ”Yes, he is also a fourth-generation member of the Zhou Family, and has been known as a prodigy since childhood...”

He still wanted to continue introducing Zhou Fuqiu’s achievements, but at that moment saw Mo Wanting stand up from her chair, losing her composure.
