CHAPTER 209: CHAPTER 209: DETECTING SPIRIT ROOT

After spending 200 Reputation Points to exchange for [Three-Star - Positive Sect Style], Lu Ping immediately triggered the effect, applying it to all sect members.

Now, there are only 369 Reputation Points left.

Opening the system map, Lu Ping exchanged for five items of [Doorway Affairs] and began exploring on the map.

The results of the five explorations came quickly.

...

These are the five items of Doorway Affairs that were explored. Lu Ping remembered them one by one, and immediately communicated them to Lu Changfeng, instructing him to carefully note them down.

After memorizing the five Doorway Affairs, Lu Changfeng went to the Merit Hall that same day and published these five matters as sect missions.

It is worth mentioning that after Lu Ping used the sect’s positive sect style, on the same day, the disciples were extremely enthusiastic and came to the Merit Hall to take on tasks.

By the second day, three of the five tasks had already been accepted, and disciples would be heading out to execute them shortly.

Just need to be patient for a while.

Now, not only waiting for the disciples to complete the sect missions but also for Distant Mountain and Zhiwei to come out of secluded cultivation, which is estimated to take some time.

Lu Ping frequently wandered around Cyan Lotus Mountain during these days.

While paying attention to the secluded cultivation status of Lu Zhiwei and Lu Yuanshan, checking for any anomalies, he also assisted Lu Changfeng in managing sect affairs.

Recently, many buildings within the sect have been repaired, presenting a brand-new appearance, exuding grandeur.

The cultivation cave mansion still being constructed by the system in the forbidden area and the Spirit Testing Array did not take too long, and soon the time came for their completion.

The Spirit Testing Array was completed first, followed by a system notification of the cultivation cave mansion’s completion.

Now, the Cyan Mountain Sect has a Spirit Testing Array, which can test the spirit root talent of sect disciples. This will also be necessary for recruiting disciples in the future.

This Spirit Testing Array is very important.

Upon learning of the Spirit Testing Array’s completion, on the third day, Li Weixiao and Li Weimiao sought out Lu Changfeng, expressing their desire to test their spirit root talent to know the specific level.

Although they have been on the cultivation path for years, practicing cultivation techniques and entering the Qi Cultivation Stage,

they were still unclear about the specific manifestation of their spirit roots, with only a vague concept in mind.

For instance, Li Weimiao knew she had an Ice Spirit Root, but was unsure if there were other spirit root attributes mixed in.

Li Weixiao was uncertain whether he had Dual Spirit Root or Three Spirit Roots.

If not for Lu Ping’s presence, who could see the siblings’ spirit root talents through the system at a glance, guiding them on the correct cultivation path,

they might have spent another three to four years exploring how to cultivate and which attribute cultivation technique to practice, not achieving the current success.

"Testing the spirit roots is good."

Upon learning of the siblings’ request, Lu Changfeng laughed heartily.

"I am also curious about your spirit root talents. Over these years, your progress is great, especially yours, Li Weimiao, your cultivation speed amazes even me."

"Now, are you about to step into the Fourth-Layer Qi Cultivation?"

Lu Changfeng looked at Li Weimiao with appreciation, very fond of this little girl.

Not only obedient and quiet, but she also diligently cultivates without causing trouble.

Also, she is Lu Zhiwei’s favorite apprentice.

In daily life, Lu Zhiwei taught her cultivation a lot, avoiding many detours, everything going smoothly.

"In another half year, I’ll be able to break through to the Fourth-Layer Qi Cultivation!"

Li Weimiao smiled faintly, her expression joyful: "Uncle Changfeng, can we use the Spirit Testing Array?"

Li Weixiao was also full of hope.

"Yes, yes, certainly."

Lu Changfeng nodded repeatedly.

With the two youngsters, Lu Changfeng led them to the location of the Spirit Testing Array.

The Spirit Testing Array was established around the Sect Hall, in a small square.

The entire Spirit Testing Array is about the size of a stone pavilion, accommodating at most three people for simultaneous spirit root detection.

The Cyan Mountain Sect used to have several large Spirit Testing Arrays. Lu Changfeng, being no layman, knew how to use it, letting Li Weixiao proceed first to take the spirit root test.

The result came quickly.

There were two rays of light, blue and yellow, rising in the Spirit Testing Array, surroundinging Li Weixiao.

"Water and Earth Dual Spirit Roots!"

Seeing Li Weixiao’s aptitude, Lu Changfeng nodded with satisfaction; very good indeed.

Knowing his spirit root aptitude, Li Weixiao was very happy, never expecting to be Water and Earth Dual Spirit Roots, always thinking himself as having Three Spirit Roots.

Having tested Li Weixiao, next was Li Weimiao.

The little girl stepped into the Spirit Testing Array, her expression both nervous and expectant.
