Lu Feng's Spiritual Root

Fang Qi's gaze was devoid of emotion as he stood there. 

As a child, cultivating immortality and becoming a peerless genius cultivator had always been Fang Qi's dream.

He imagined himself as the savior of otherworldly beauties in distress, their hope in moments of despair. Ultimately becoming a central figure in his own harem.

Coming from a noble family, money posed no challenge for Fang Qi. He remembers who his parents were worried about his spiritual roots test when he was a child. Fang Qi now understood the reason behind their concern. 

It was only today that Fang Qi realized why his parents asked if he wanted another sibling. 

Despite his unwillingness to accept his destiny, reality proved cruel. 

Standing by his side, Lu Feng couldn't help but be happy. It was Fang Qi who had initially suggested collaborating with the acting sect master to discuss leaked questions, making Lu Feng, an ordinary mortal, his accomplice. 

Liu Ningyue maintained her composure, opting not to participate in the spiritual root test for the time being. 

Fang Qi stares at Lu Feng with an aggresive glare, hinting at him to test this spirutal root. Fang Qi must reciprocate the favor he had been extended.

Lu Feng, his demeanor as calm as water, had already accepted his fate. 

He was past the age of 17, ineligible to join the sect, and possessed only a vague understanding of his spiritual root.

Despite this, his mind was already churning, planning his return to the Star Moon city. 

He approached the spiritual testing stone, placing his hand upon its surface before turning away, ready to depart from the sect entrance exam. 

At first the testing stone remained unresponsive, then a sudden transformation began! From its base, a vibrant green hue spread upwards, engulfing the original blue color! 

Looking at this, Senior Meng Bu's initial calm shattered. He stared in horror as the stone's color changed.

"Huh? What's this? It looks like a spiritual root, but what's with the green healing root clasping it?" Senior Meng Bu was utterly confused.

This was the first time he had ever encountered a sword spiritual root accompanied by a green healing root, leaving him baffled and unable to decipher the meaning behind Lu Feng's unique spiritual root.

"Sword spiritual root?!" Fang Qi and the others stared at Lu Feng with horrified expressions, completely ignoring Senior Meng Bu's mention of the green healing root.

The tales of sword cultivators were well known, painting a picture of maniacal individuals who embraced killing with a chilling disregard for consequences.

Every single sword cultivator in the immortal world carried a bloody history, a testament to their ruthless nature.

However, thankfully, the heavens were merciful, and only a few cultivators with sword spiritual roots were borned into the immortal realm.

The emergence of a spiritual sword cultivator signaled the beginning of trouble for their sect or family, as well as the end for any future enemies.

Senior Meng Bu quickly recovered from his initial shock. He turned to Yun Yue, who stood away from the testing ground, asking for an explanation. He couldn't comprehend the origin of Lu Feng's spiritual root. 

"Lu Feng possesses a dual spiritual root of sword and healing," Yun Yue, the acting sect master of the White Moon sect, said in a calm voice that resonated through the crowd. 

She continued: "The healing spiritual root is incredibly rare. In fact, only one documented case of its existence is known in our world. It's understandable that you wouldn't be familiar with it, Meng Bu." 

"Legends say that those with a healing spiritual root live exceptionally long lives, capable of healing themselves and others from any wound or illness without even starting to cultivate, as mortals." Yun Yue explained. 

"However, it stands in contrast to the sword's spiritual root, which is designed for combat. It seems little Brother Lu Feng has a mutated dual spiritual root, creating a unique balance between the two roots." 

After making this observation, Yun Yue stared at Lu Feng in astonishment before leaving.

"A sword maniac with healing abilities?" Elder Meng Bu sighed inwardly, his heart heavy with concern for the future of the cultivation world. 

Elder Meng Bu bowed in gratitude to Yun Yue's departing figure. As he turned back, he noticed Lu Feng pausing before leaving the sect to gauge everyone's reactions. 

"After all. It doesn't hurt to be happy for a while." Lu Feng thought to himself.

Senior Meng Bu, unaware of Lu Feng's thought, announces his result with a twitching face:

"Lu Feng, age 15, with dual sword and healing spiritual roots, passed! "

The crowd gasped in astonishment. 

"A future sword cultivator with healing abilities? That's like adding wings to a tiger!"

"I suffer from an old injury. Can his spiritual roots heal me?" a fair maiden uttered with a wistful expression.

"My sister was injured while hunting a beast! Lu Feng, will you heal her? I'll do anything you request!" 

"Young man, I beg you to heal my daughter! She's sixteen and suffered a backlash during cultivation. If you can save her, our family will be eternally indebted to you!" An elder from a respectable family called out from the back. 

Suddenly, the crowd surged towards Lu Feng, clamoring for his healing services and offering him wealth, favors, and even their daughters' hands in marriage.

However, Lu Feng stood there stunned, unable to comprehend his results.

"Am I 15 years old? Was I not 25 years old in my next life? Didn't system reincarnate me with my original age?" 

That's right, even after spending two days in his new life, Lu Feng was unaware of his age.

"That awful system! How can it be that a fifteen-year-old child like myself is wandering the world and navigating treacherous disasters?" Lu Feng's anger towards the system flared.

After all, the journey to White Moon Sect was everything but easy. If he knew he was still a child, he would have asked that beautiful merchant lady to accompany him! What a missed opportunity!

Sure enough, without a system to guide you in reincarnated world, life is everything but easy!

Even Lui Ningyue looks at Lu Feng with intrigue. After all, it doesn't hurt to have a pocket healer as your friend when you go out on dangerous ventures!

"I must brefriend him!" thought Lui Ningyue with an innocent mind. Forgetting about her comment from earlier!

Fang Qi looks at Lu Feng with jealousy and regret.

He is jealous of the throng of beautiful women clamoring for Lu Feng's healing prowess, while he was destined to remain single until he attained immortality.

He regrets offending Lu Feng earlier, a bonafied future sword cutivator maniac!

Observing the waning crowd and the deserted spiritual testing stage, Liu Ningyue, the final untested candidate, approached the spiritual testing stone. She placed her hand upon its surface and closed her eyes.

Despite the initial lack of reaction, the spiritual stone soon exhibited visible signs of distress. 

Fractures spread across its surface, and within seconds, it crumbled into fine dust that dissipated into the atmosphere.

Senior Meng Bu, who was consumed by concerns for the immortal world's future due to Lu Feng's future actions, looks at Lui Ningyue with blank expression.

He asked her with an expressionless voice, as if his soul had left his body:

"Fragmented immortal body?"

"Yeap" replied Lui Lingyue cheerfully.

There is no hope for the future of the immortal world. Senior Meng Bu wishes to go back and sleep.
