Chapter 78: The Little Girl Was Stunned
Soon, under He Tu Lingshan’s guidance, Li Xiaojun boarded a bus with her.
After an hour, they arrived at a village.
Upon entering the village, many people greeted He Tu Lingshan and inquired about Li Xiaojun’s purpose.
He Tu Lingshan would always explain that Li Xiaojun came to buy pears.
Finally, holding her little brother by the hand, He Tu Lingshan led Li Xiaojun to a dilapidated wooden house.
In front of the house stood a large pear tree, so big that two people would need to hug it together, and the tree rose over twenty meters tall.
The mountain pears sold by the little girl must be the ones picked from this tree.
On the trunk of this pear tree, several iron nails were nailed in, likely to assist with climbing the tree.
“Big brother Immortal Master, this is my home, and this pear tree belongs to my family. How many pears do you want? I can go pick them for you,” He Tu Lingshan said with a smile to Li Xiaojun.
“You’ll go pick? Where are your parents?” Li Xiaojun asked quickly upon hearing He Tu Lingshan’s words.
Upon hearing Li Xiaojun’s question, He Tu Lingshan’s face showed sadness; she shook her head and said, “My parents have passed away. Now, it’s just me and my little brother at home.”
Hearing He Tu Lingshan’s words, Li Xiaojun silently nodded.
He understood why He Tu Lingshan had to pick pears to sell—they were orphans.
“I’ll help you pick the pears. I want all the pears on this tree,” Li Xiaojun said to He Tu Lingshan.
Then he waved his hand, and an entire tree of mountain pears vanished.
After the pears disappeared, Li Xiaojun took out a stack of money.
“This is my payment for the pears; you keep it,” Li Xiaojun handed the money to He Tu Lingshan.
“Big brother, this is too much,” He Tu Lingshan said quickly, waving her hands upon seeing the large stack of money.
She knew how many pears her family had, and it would never amount to this much money.
“These pears are very delicious, so I chose to pay you a bit more,” Li Xiaojun said nonchalantly. “You keep this money; as an Immortal Master, this amount is nothing to me.”
Upon hearing Li Xiaojun say this, He Tu Lingshan immediately bowed in gratitude, “Thank you, big brother.”
“He Tu Lingshan, you are six years old this year, right? Have you gone to test your spirit root yet?” Li Xiaojun asked He Tu Lingshan.
Hearing Li Xiaojun’s question, He Tu Lingshan shook her head, “Not yet, but in six months I will be able to test my spirit root. I hope I can have a spirit root, so my little brother can have a better life with me.”
Hearing the little girl’s words, Li Xiaojun smiled.
“How about this, I’ll have someone help you test your spirit root, so you won’t have to wait six months.”
Having said that, Li Xiaojun waved his hand behind him.
Then, Ni Xiaotang, who was at the Great Ascension stage, appeared in their view.
He Tu Lingshan was startled to see another person suddenly appear, but she quickly realized this was another Immortal Master.
So, she hurriedly bowed to Ni Xiaotang.
“Hello, sister Immortal!”
“No need for courtesy.”
Li Xiaojun waved his hand and instructed Ni Xiaotang, “You can perform a spirit root test on her.”
Upon hearing Li Xiaojun’s command, Ni Xiaotang nodded. “Okay.”
In the next moment, she flipped her hand and a testing crystal appeared.
“Little girl, place your hand on this,” Ni Xiaotang said with a smile to He Tu Lingshan.
“Thank you, sister Immortal,” He Tu Lingshan quickly replied.
Though she was only six years old, she had seen the spirit root testing ceremony before, so she obediently stepped forward and placed her right hand on the crystal ball.
Ni Xiaotang cast a spell.
In the next moment, a dazzling green light shone brightly.
“Top-grade wood spirit root, your talent is quite good,” Ni Xiaotang said in surprise.
While Ni Xiaotang was amazed, Li Xiaojun was not surprised at all.
Because just before the spirit root test, he had used over a thousand years of his lifespan to enhance her spirit root to a top-grade spirit root.
“Wow! I have a top-grade spirit root.”
Meanwhile, upon realizing that she had a top-grade spirit root, He Tu Lingshan was so excited she could hardly contain herself.
Her face showed extreme joy, and she jumped around with her little brother in her arms, showcasing her excitement.
Even though she was just a six-year-old child, she understood what a top-grade spirit root meant.
It meant her destiny would change dramatically.
She had the chance to become someone extraordinary.
In such a situation, how could she not be thrilled?
After a moment of excitement, He Tu Lingshan managed to compose herself and quickly thanked Ni Xiaotang and Li Xiaojun.
“Thank you, big brother! Thank you, sister Immortal!” He Tu Lingshan bent deeply and expressed her gratitude.
“Not at all,” Li Xiaojun smiled and waved his hand.
Then he asked He Tu Lingshan, “Would you like to have your little brother tested for his spirit root too?”
“Thank you so much!” He Tu Lingshan immediately bowed again in thanks.
“Xiaotang, please test her little brother as well,” Li Xiaojun instructed Ni Xiaotang.
“Okay,” Ni Xiaotang nodded and retrieved the crystal ball again.
She squatted in front of the little boy.
Then He Tu Lingshan urged her brother to place his hand on the crystal ball.
Once the little boy placed his hand on the crystal ball, Ni Xiaotang cast another spell.
In the next moment, a blinding white light shone brightly.
Seeing the white light, Ni Xiaotang was stunned.
After a moment, she confirmed that the child before her actually possessed an Immortal spirit root.
Oh my!
At that moment, Ni Xiaotang could hardly believe it.
On the other side, witnessing her brother’s test also producing light, He Tu Lingshan became excited once again.
Though she didn’t understand what the white light meant, she knew her brother also had a spirit root.
This meant that their good days were coming!
“Sister Immortal, what kind of spirit root does my brother have?” He Tu Lingshan could no longer contain her curiosity and asked Ni Xiaotang.
Hearing He Tu Lingshan’s question, Ni Xiaotang swallowed hard and said in astonishment, “Your brother has an Immortal spirit root.”
Having said that, she took out a communicator and said to Li Xiaojun, “This child has an Immortal spirit root, I must report to the great emperor.”
“Mm,” Li Xiaojun nodded, saying nothing more.
Soon, Ni Xiaotang contacted Li Ziwei.
Upon learning that Ni Xiaotang had discovered an Immortal spirit root child, Li Ziwei immediately instructed her to bring the child to the Empress’s palace.
“You can come and pick them up; Xiaotang still needs to protect me,” Li Xiaojun said over the phone.
Hearing Li Xiaojun’s voice, Li Ziwei instructed Ni Xiaotang, “Keep an eye on that child; I’ll be there soon.”
While Ni Xiaotang was on the phone, He Tu Lingshan was stunned to learn her brother was an Immortal spirit root.
It wasn’t until Ni Xiaotang finished her call that she hesitantly asked, “Sister Immortal, is it true that my brother has an Immortal spirit root?”
Ni Xiaotang nodded, “It is true. I have already contacted the Ziwei Great Emperor, and soon he will come to take you and your brother. From now on, you both will be part of the Ziwei Imperial Palace.”
Upon hearing this, He Tu Lingshan found it hard to believe.
“Sister Immortal, you say you can contact the Ziwei Great Emperor?”
“Little girl, you don’t need to doubt; I am the top saint among the four great saints under the Ziwei Great Emperor. As a Great Ascension stage saint, I have no reason to deceive you.”
