2: Spiritual root test

The regional channel was similar to the world channel, both displaying combinations of character avatars and names.

The only difference was probably the number of people.

Each regional channel had 10,000 people.

"Did you just hear someone speak? I’m so scared, I want to go home, I miss my mom and dad!"

"Are you also in a cave? Can anyone hear me? If you can, type 1."

"1"

"Cultivating in an Immortal Cave seems very interesting!"

...

After watching for a while, Mu Feng disappointedly closed the chat channel.

Most people were currently in a state of disarray.

The few calm ones like him were probably observing at the moment.

It was better to explore other functions first, and then inquire after everyone had calmed down.

Immediately, Mu Feng looked at [Trade] and [Auction House].

Trade was simple: it was about bartering.

You would post your item and then set what you wanted to trade for.

It was safe and fast via mail.

The Auction House, on the other hand, opened once a month.

Those who wanted to auction could post their items and set a reserve price.

A 10% handling fee was charged for each successful auction.

No handling fee was charged for unsold items.

The trading System was relatively simple.

After glancing at the rules, Mu Feng moved to the [Workshop].

The [Workshop] had three main functions.

[Alchemy], [Artifact Refining], and [Talisman Crafting].

Mu Feng casually clicked into [Alchemy], only to find it empty.

He clicked the remaining two and found the situation was similar.

It seemed he needed to learn the corresponding skills before he could use them.

This made Mu Feng a little disappointed.

Closing the [Workshop], Mu Feng clicked into [Immortal Cave].

The [Immortal Cave]'s function was very simple.

It had only one function: upgrading.

Current Immortal Cave: Initial Immortal Cave.

Next Level: Ordinary Immortal Cave.

Upgrade requirements: Stone x50, wood x20, breathing earth x30, Spirit Stone x100.

Upgrade effect: Immortal Cave Spiritual Qi density increases by 50%, opens Spiritual Fields for planting Spiritual Plants and Spiritual Trees.

Upgrading the Immortal Cave required four items: stone, wood, breathing earth, and Spirit Stones.

Mu Feng currently had none of these four items.

He couldn't do anything even if he wanted to.

Announcement: In one minute, everyone's Spiritual Root will be tested. There are five basic Spiritual Roots: Metal, wood, Water, Fire, and Earth!

The worst Spiritual Root is a Five Elements Spiritual Root, and the best is a One Element Spiritual Root, also known as a Heavenly Spiritual Root.

In addition to these five Spiritual Roots, there are also variant Spiritual Roots such as Wind, Lightning, and Ice. The purer the Spiritual Root, the faster the Cultivation speed. There will be no situation of having no Spiritual Root.

Heavenly Spiritual Root has no Bottleneck before Breakthrough to Nascent Soul.

As soon as this announcement came out, the chat channel exploded again.

"Holy cow, they're testing Spiritual Roots! I'm so excited, I wonder what my Spiritual Root is."

"Excited +1, I hope it's not too bad. Spiritual Root seems to be related to Cultivation speed."

"Grand Supreme Elder, Jade Emperor, Tathagata Buddha, please bless me with a Heavenly Spiritual Root, I beg you!"

"I'm willing to exchange ten years of my ex's life for a chance at a Heavenly Spiritual Root!"

"You guys are too ruthless. My demands aren't high, a variant Spiritual Root would be fine!"

"It's time to test our Luck! Someone as handsome as me must be the protagonist!"

"Now is fantasy time!"

...

Everyone was very excited, wanting to know their Spiritual Root Aptitude.

"I wonder what my Spiritual Root is?"

Mu Feng was also piqued by this announcement.

According to the announcement, the purity of a Spiritual Root was linked to Cultivation speed.

He didn't want his Aptitude to be too poor, as this was real Cultivation, not a game.

One wrong move could cost him his life.

Swish!

Just as Mu Feng was secretly wondering what his Spiritual Root was, a golden light descended from the sky and shone on him.

Immediately after, that cold voice sounded in his mind.

Spiritual Root test complete. The Spiritual Roots on your body are Water, wood, and Fire Three Elements Spiritual Root!

Name: Mu Feng

Realm: Qi Refinement Stage First Layer

Spiritual Root: Water, wood, Fire

Cultivation Technique: Five Elements Skill

Skills: None

As the voice ended, Mu Feng's personal panel automatically popped up.

The previously untested Spiritual Root column had changed to three icons: a blue water drop, a green tree, and a red flame.

These corresponded to the Water, wood, and Fire Spiritual Roots that the voice had just announced.

"Three Elements Spiritual Root..."

"Alright..."

To be honest, Mu Feng was still a little disappointed at this moment.

Everyone wanted their Spiritual Root to be better, after all, this concerned their future Cultivation speed.

"Forget it, a Three Elements Spiritual Root isn't bad."

Mu Feng was quite open-minded; after a brief disappointment, he returned to normal.

He wasn't as good as the best, but better than the worst.

Being ordinary was the norm for most.

Besides, the lifespan of a European Emperor was often very short.

"I wonder how everyone else is doing?"

After comforting himself, Mu Feng reopened the regional chat channel, wanting to see how others in the same area were doing.

"Hahaha, I'm a Metal, wood, Fire Three Elements Spiritual Root, so awesome!"

"Damn, I'm envious, I'm a Metal, wood, Fire, Earth Four Elements Spiritual Root. Looks like I didn't drink enough water normally!"

"That's not necessarily true. Maybe you drank too much water, causing the water to disappear!"

"I'm even worse, Five Elements Spiritual Root..."

"Speechless, me too..."

"Same here, I'm also a Five Elements Spiritual Root..."

...

In the chat channel, some rejoiced while others grieved.

From the replies, it seemed that most people's Spiritual Root Aptitude was quite average.

In that case, his Three Elements Spiritual Root wasn't bad.

Announcement: Spiritual Root testing in this region has concluded.

Number of Five Elements Spiritual Roots: 5256!

Number of Four Elements Spiritual Roots: 2563!

Number of Three Elements Spiritual Roots: 2129!

Number of Dual Elements Spiritual Roots: 50!

Number of Heavenly Spiritual Roots or variant Spiritual Roots: 2!

Indeed!

After hearing the announcement, Mu Feng nodded silently.

It was pretty much as he had thought.

Among the ten thousand people in the region, most had Three, Four, or Five Elements Spiritual Roots.

There were only 50 with Dual Elements Spiritual Roots or better.

And only two people had Heavenly Spiritual Roots or variant Spiritual Roots.

It seemed his Luck was indeed good.

He just didn't know who those two lucky individuals were.

Mu Feng curiously opened the chat channel, wanting to see if anyone would voluntarily reveal themselves.

"Wow! I didn't expect our region to have two Heavenly Spiritual Roots. One in ten thousand, yet we have two here. We're so lucky! I just wonder which two big shots they are. Can they show themselves so we can worship them!"

"That's true. I just checked the world channel, many regions don't have Heavenly Spiritual Roots, but we have two, which means our Luck is very strong!"

"666, envious of those two Heavenly Spiritual Root big shots. I, Wang Xiao, only have a Dual Elements Spiritual Root. I wonder if they can show themselves for everyone to see!"

"Holy cow, Wang Xiao, you're awesome, please carry me!"

"Big shot, please carry me!"

"Yeah, yeah, can the Heavenly Spiritual Root or variant Spiritual Root big shots say something? We're all in the same region, meeting is fate!"

Many people in the chat channel, like Mu Feng, were curious about who had the two Heavenly Spiritual Roots.

They all left messages asking the people to show their faces.
