Chapter 13: For the Family
“Doesn’t your granddaughter have a partner?”
Upon hearing the middle-aged man’s words, another person immediately responded.
“What if my granddaughter has a partner? Does having a partner mean she can’t have children?”
“Well, if that’s the case, my daughter can too; she also has a middle-grade spirit root…”
“My granddaughter can too; she doesn’t have a partner yet, and she has a middle-grade spirit root…”
“Your granddaughter can’t; she isn’t part of our Yan family…”
“Enough arguing!”
The Fifth Elder, who was playing with the baby girl, became a bit annoyed and scolded them.
Hearing the Fifth Elder’s reprimand, the cave instantly fell silent.
“Grandpa, let me go instead; I have a top-grade spirit root, and who knows, I might even give birth to a child with Yin spirit roots.” Yan Ruyu said with a smile.
Having a daughter with Yin spirit roots left Yan Ruyu somewhat unsatisfied.
Upon hearing Yan Ruyu’s words, everyone turned their attention to her.
The Fifth Elder also looked up and, after thinking for a moment, nodded.
“Alright, then it will be hard work for you. If you can give the family another child with great talent, Grandpa will certainly reward you generously.”
“Yes, Grandpa, don’t worry; I promise to complete the task.” Yan Ruyu smiled and replied.
Upon hearing that the Fifth Elder had chosen the candidate, everyone fell silent.
In the Yan family, female members, especially Yan Ruyu, had the best spirit roots; it was undeniable.
“Grandpa, this child still doesn’t have a name; please give her one,” Yan Ruyu said to the Fifth Elder.
“Okay.” The Fifth Elder nodded, thought for a moment, and said, “This child is the future hope of our Yan family; let’s call her Yan Xi.”
As everyone was talking, suddenly, a young man who looked to be in his twenties rushed in.
“Ancestor, it’s bad! The Sect Master and the Elder are coming; they will be at the cave entrance soon!”
“What?”
“Great-grandfather, what should we do? The Sect Master and the Elder must be coming to see our child’s talent!”
“Yes, if the Sect Master and the Elder see it, we won’t be able to protect our little Xi’s talent!”
Upon hearing that the Sect Master and Elder were coming, everyone became anxious!
“Everyone, be quiet!” The Fifth Elder scolded, and the cave immediately fell silent.
“Follow me to greet the Sect Master and the Elder,” the Fifth Elder instructed everyone.
“What about the child?” someone asked.
“We might be able to hide this from others, but we can’t hide it from the Elder and the Sect Master,” the Fifth Elder shook his head.
As the ancestor of the Yan family, he was only late-stage Nascent Soul, while the Elder and the Sect Master were both great cultivators in the Divine Transformation stage.
If they wanted to know the talent of the Yan family’s child, the family had no way to conceal it.
Moreover, the more they tried to conceal it, the more suspicious it would appear!
Soon, a group of people followed the Fifth Elder out of Yan Ruyu’s cave and arrived outside.
At that moment, two streaks of light appeared and stopped outside the cave.
“We greet the Sect Master and the Elder.” The Fifth Elder hurriedly bowed to the two.
“No need for formalities,” the Sect Master waved his hand.
“The Elder and I heard that the Yan family’s miraculous child has been born, so we came to take a look.”
“That’s quite a coincidence; my little Xi just arrived,” the Fifth Elder said with a smile.
“Where is the child? Has her talent been tested?” The Elder asked the Fifth Elder.
“It has been tested,” the Fifth Elder nodded. “She has fire-type Yin spirit roots!”
“Fire spirit roots? What? Yin spirit roots?”
Shock appeared on the faces of the Sect Master and the Elder.
The Elder waved his hand, casting a restriction over everyone.
“Fifth Elder, are you sure it’s Yin spirit roots?” the Elder asked the Fifth Elder.
“Sect Master, Elder, I wouldn’t dare deceive you about something so significant,” the Fifth Elder shook his head.
“Take us to see the child,” the Sect Master ordered the Fifth Elder.
“Sect Master, Elder, please!”
Quickly, the group returned to Yan Ruyu’s cave.
This time, the Elder Li Wuji and Sect Master Luo Changqi accompanied them.
…
A few minutes later.
Elder Li Wuji and Sect Master Luo Changqi looked amazed.
“Old Yan, this matter must be kept secret; apart from me and the Elder and those outside, we cannot let anyone else know about this child’s talent!” Luo Changqi instructed the Fifth Elder.
“I understand, Sect Master,” the Fifth Elder nodded.
If it were not for the sudden arrival of Luo Changqi and Li Wuji, he wouldn’t have planned to let them know.
Yin spirit roots represent that the Yan family is destined to produce a Great Ascension stage saint, with a high chance of breaking through to the Late Tribulation stage great emperor realm.
After Luo Changqi and Li Wuji left, they quickly arrived at the Sect Grand Hall on Bixiao Peak.
“Elder, what do you think about this matter?” Luo Changqi asked Elder Li Wuji.
Hearing Luo Changqi’s words, Li Wuji thought for a moment and said, “My family also has a girl with a top-grade spirit root; I’m afraid I need to have a good talk with her.”
Upon hearing this, Luo Changqi’s mouth twitched.
“Sect Master, if there is nothing further, I will take my leave,” Li Wuji said, cupping his hands to Luo Changqi before leaving.
After Li Wuji left, Luo Changqi did not depart but directed a spell toward a token.
Soon, a middle-aged man appeared in the grand hall.
“Ancestor!”
The middle-aged man quickly bowed to Luo Changqi upon his arrival.
“Who is the highest spirit root talent among the women of our Luo family?” Luo Changqi asked the middle-aged man.
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man’s eyes lit up. “Ancestor, is it finally our turn?”
As the main contact for the Luo family and the ancestor, he was aware of the situation with Li Xiaojun.
He also knew that the Qin family and Luo family had produced children with top-grade spirit roots.
“Ancestor, our family has no women with partners who have the best spirit roots; that would be Luo Shuihan. She has a middle-grade water spirit root,” the middle-aged man said to Luo Changqi.
“The best woman in our family only has a middle-grade spirit root?”
Hearing this, Luo Changqi felt somewhat dissatisfied.
The Yan family, relying on the top-grade spirit root of Yan Ruyu, had already given birth to a child with Yin spirit roots.
He thought that the Luo family must at least be on par with the Yan family.
“What about those with partners? Who has the best spirit root?” Luo Changqi continued asking the middle-aged man.
“Ancestor, the best spirit root among women with partners is also only middle-grade,” the middle-aged man continued.
“Does our Luo family not have even one woman with a top-grade spirit root?” Luo Changqi asked lightly.
“Ancestor, top-grade spirit roots are not easily found. Our Luo family has over a hundred thousand people, and throughout these years, only one top-grade spirit root lady has emerged, but she has passed away.”
Hearing the middle-aged man’s words, Luo Changqi fell silent.
After a moment, he said lightly, “Wasn’t Yuan Ping’s partner a top-grade spirit root?”
Upon hearing Luo Changqi’s words, the middle-aged man was instantly taken aback.
“Ancestor, that’s not possible; how could that work…”
“For the family, what is not possible? If we can have a talented daughter, she could join our Luo family in the future, and she would be one of us…”
