Chapter 76 – Growing Spiritual Roots (Seventh Shift Requesting Subscriptions)
“Is there another new disciple coming?”

“I wonder how qualified the new disciples are this time.”

On Cangwu Mountain, some of the disciples saw the flying boat flying in from afar and instantly talked about it.

In the past, many of them, too, had come to Cangwu Mountain on this flying boat.

Unexpectedly, a few years had passed and they had become old disciples.

“Senior Brother Xu.”

After the flying boat landed, just as Xu Shida led Chen Fan and the others down from the flying boat, several old disciples, immediately greeted them.

“Senior Brother Yang.”

Xu Shida nodded at one of the disciples in the lead, then he took out a pamphlet and handed it over to this disciple, “My task is done, I’ll leave the rest to you.”

“Senior brother rest assured.”

The Yang disciple nodded seriously.

“Also, there is a disciple named Chen Fan who is rather special, I need to bring him to see the Sect Leader, and the arrangements for him may need to be decided by the Sect Leader.” Xu Shida transmitted his voice to the disciple surnamed Yang.

“Special?”

“Could it be that it’s a top-grade spiritual root?”

The Yang disciple’s eyes suddenly lit up.

Immortal cultivators with top-grade spiritual roots were exceptionally rare.

It had been three years since they, Cangwu Mountain, had recruited a disciple with a top-grade spiritual root.

However, among the five major immortal sects in the southern part of the Heaven Intercepting Mountain Range, they weren’t the worst off.

The most miserable was the Red Sun Sect.

It was heard that it hadn’t recruited a genius with a top-grade spirit root for five whole years.

“It’s not easy to say yet.”

Xu Shida shook his head.

Regarding Chen Fan’s spiritual root, it was he who was unsure.

He had also only read a little record in the ancient books.

But whether it was true or not, it still needed to be determined by the Sect Leader himself.

“Chen Fan, you come with me first.”

With that, he greeted Chen Fan.

Chen Fan was stunned and even walked over.

Because just now, the conversation between Xu Shida and the disciple surnamed Yang was all said through voice transmission, so he didn’t know what had happened yet.

In the arena, the others saw this scene and also revealed a look of curiosity.

It was unknown what was going on with Chen Fan.

However, Xu Shida did not say anything more.

After calling Chen Fan to his side, he waved his sleeve, conjuring up a clear wind, taking Chen Fan with him, and flying straight to the top of Cangwu Mountain.

“Senior Brother Xu, I don’t know what we are ……”

Chen Fan opened his mouth and asked.

Previously, when he had just detected his spiritual root, Xu Shida had expressed his good feelings towards him.

But at that time, he only thought that it was because he had awakened the five elemental attribute spirit roots.

But later, after he boarded the flying boat, Xu Shida actually still treated him like that.

He even realized something was wrong when he acted better towards him than he did towards a few geniuses with middle-grade spirit root qualifications.

Knowing that there was likely something going on that he wasn’t aware of.

After all, his five elemental attribute spirit root was just as good as it was, but it was still just a five-star lower grade, how could it possibly compare to someone else’s middle grade spirit root?

“Your spiritual root is somewhat special.”

Xu Shida opened his mouth and said:
“I suspect that the quality of your spiritual root is not a five-star lower grade, but rather an extremely rare and special spiritual root recorded in the ancient books.”

“Special Spiritual Root?”

Chen Fan’s heart thumped.

It was not that he craved for any special inspiration for himself, but he was worried that later on, Xu Shida might still test his spiritual root.

But ……

After he had tested his spiritual roots that day, he had used several small wishes in succession to enhance his spiritual roots.

In this situation, once he performed abnormally in the next test, I’m afraid it wouldn’t be that good.

“Whoosh!”

Just as Chen Fan was uneasy in his heart, Xu Shida performed the Wind Sentry Technique and quickly brought him to the front of the Sect Master’s Hall at the top of the mountain.

If it was a normal day, Chen Fan would have marveled at the magic of the spells.

But at this moment, he was filled with uneasiness and no longer had a bit of extra mood.

“Senior Brother Xu is meeting the Sect Leader?”

In front of the Sect Master’s hall, a child saw Xu Shida and opened his mouth to inquire.

“Little Stone, please notify the Sect Leader’s uncle and say that I have something to see.”

Seeing this child, Xu Shida smiled and opened his mouth.

“The Sect Master has gone to the Ten Thousand Carp Lake.”

“If senior brother is not in a hurry, he can come in and wait.”

The child named Little Stone said with a clear voice.

“The Sect Leader has gone to the Ten Thousand Carp Lake?”

Xu Shida frowned.

“That big carp at the Ten Thousand Carp Lake might be transforming into a scaly fish, the Sect Leader and a few of his senior uncles went there, and even Elder Voidwood went over there.”

The child said one by one.

“You mean that carp ancestor is going to transform into a scaly pearl?”

Xu Shida’s eyes lit up, “Little Stone, I’m looking for Master Sect Leader, mainly because this Senior Brother’s qualifications are somewhat special.”

“In that case, why don’t you see to it that you first have him wait in the side hall? I’ll go to the Ten Thousand Carp Lake to look for Master Sect Leader Uncle now!”

That was a Carp Ancestor!

He had grown up hearing the legend of the Carp Ancestor when he was a child.

Therefore he was not at all worried that it would fail to transform into a scaly pearl.

This guy’s creation was too deep.

And once Carp Ancestor transformed into a jiao, it would be a Jindan stage demon.

At the same time, there will definitely be a heavenly tribulation.

If there is a heavenly tribulation the carp ancestor will bleed and shed its scales ……

“Good.” Little Stone nodded, “But you remember to go to the Ten Thousand Carp Lake and catch me a pure blood carp back to eat, I want to eat one that’s the same color as the Carp Ancestor, preferably born by the Carp Ancestor itself.”

“Small matter!”

Xu Shida waved his hand and was about to turn around and leave.

“Wait.”

Just at this moment, Chen Fan suddenly called out to Xu Shida and inquired, “Senior Brother Xu, can you tell me what is the condition of my spiritual root?”

In normal times, he would definitely be curious when he heard the words Carp Transformation Jiao.

But right now, he was only concerned about his spirit root.

“Your spiritual root ……”

Xu Shida pondered for a moment and said, “I once read in an ancient book that the Immortal Cultivation Realm has an extremely rare type of spiritual root known as the Growth Spiritual Root.”

“This kind of spiritual root, possesses the characteristic of constant growth.”

“Perhaps at first, this kind of spiritual root manifests itself as just a one-star lower grade, but as it grows, its possible for it to grow into a middle grade spiritual root, an upper grade spiritual root, or even an extremely high grade spiritual root!”

“The kind of vision you displayed when you tested your spiritual root before was very much like the description I saw in the ancient books.”

“That’s why I’m guessing that your spiritual root is most likely the legendary growing spiritual root.”

Chen Fan opened his mouth when he heard this.

This kind of special spirit root was simply tailor-made for him!
“Of course.”

Xu Shida continued, “And you shouldn’t think that awakening a growth spirit root is all about benefits.”

“It is recorded in the ancient books that some of those Growth Spiritual Roots awakened in the Immortal Cultivation Realm can only grow from a one-star lower grade, to a two-star lower grade at most.”

“If it’s this kind of growth-type spirit root, it won’t be of much use.”

“Moreover, growth-type spirit roots, until they are fully grown, will have a great impact on an Immortal Cultivator’s cultivation.”

“This kind of impact could be positive or negative.”

“A positive influence may cause an Immortal Cultivator who currently presents a one-star lower-grade Spiritual Root to exhibit the cultivation speed of a one-star middle-grade Spiritual Root, or even a one-star upper-grade Spiritual Root, for a period of time.”

“But the negative influence may also make it possible for an Immortal Cultivator with a Upper Grade Spiritual Root to only have the cultivation speed of a one-star Lower Grade Spiritual Root for a period of time.”

“……”

Hearing this, Chen Fan no longer knew what to say.

These descriptions were simply completely fitting of himself.

It instantly restored most of his mood, which was still apprehensive before.

“Of course, this is just my guess, whether it is or not, we still have to make sure after the Sect Leader returns.”

Xu Shida explained.

“I understand, thank you senior brother for clearing up the confusion.”

Chen Fan said with thanks.

“Alright, in that case, I will leave first.”

Xu Shida nodded.

He then reached out and with a wave, he conjured up a flying sword and quickly swept into the distance.

“Is this flying with a flying sword?”

Chen Fan, whose mood had completely turned around, looked at Xu Shida’s departing back and was envious for a moment.

“Does the Immortal Cultivation Realm still have such odd spiritual roots as Growth Spiritual Roots?”

On the side, Little Stone touched his head.

He wasn’t very old, but he still knew something about spirit roots.

But he really hadn’t heard that there was such a thing as a growth spirit root in this world.

“If Senior Brother Xu says there is, then there definitely is!”

Chen Fan looked certain.

“Alright.”

The little stone nodded, “I will first take you to the side hall, the side hall is rich in spiritual qi, you can first cultivate in there.”

With that, he led Chen Fan towards the side of the side hall.

In fact, under normal circumstances, ordinary disciples were not capable of arranging Chen Fan in the remote hall here.

But Xu Shida was somewhat different.

“Cultivating here?”

Chen Fan followed the little stone and soon entered the side hall.

According to the little stone, he detected how dense the aura was here with a careful sensing.

Whether it was the Immortal Ascension City or the Flying Boat Cultivation Room he came from, it was far from being comparable to this place.

“Alright, you can wait here next, just remember not to run around.”

Little Stone walked out after arranging Chen Fan.

“Growing Spiritual Root ……”

After Little Stone left, Chen Fan took a deep breath.

“I make a wish that my Spiritual Root Qualification will be permanently enhanced to the greatest extent possible!”

“I make a wish ……”

In an instant, he used up his small wish for today, as well as the last small wish he had saved up from before, and chose to use it to enhance his Spiritual Root Qualification.

“Buzz!”

Just suddenly, right after Chen Fan finished these two wishes, he abruptly felt his body change.

Like in an instant, he broke the divide between himself and heaven and earth.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that his sense of aura had grown by a large margin.

“This is …… shouldn’t be a breakthrough in my Spiritual Root Qualification, from five-star lower grade, to middle grade, right?”

Chen Fan looked stunned.

Under normal circumstances, just two small wishes would never be able to do this.

He guessed that this was most likely because, his own Spiritual Root Qualification was just a little bit away from the middle grade before.

That was why he had ushered in this breakthrough after making two small wishes one after another.

Of course, it was definitely not without the wish he had made a few days ago.

“Growing Spiritual Root!”

“Regardless of whether or not this world has growth-type spirit roots, I am a growth-type spirit root!”

“No one is good enough!”

Chen Fan looked uplifted.
