The Leisurely Life of a Young Man in the World of Cultivation

However, after the golden-feathered chicken incident, far fewer people cut in line, which made things much easier for Lu Changfeng.

When it was the Golden Chicken's turn to have its spiritual roots tested, the inner disciple in charge of the tests was quite angry to see that the guy had a bruised and swollen face. After all, it was too much to take action on the day of the Spiritual Root Testing Conference.

However, after scanning his surroundings with his divine sense, he felt that the beating was still too lenient.

However, he didn't show any outward reaction, only speaking coldly.

"Put your hand on it!"

Hearing this tone, the golden-haired chicken couldn't help but shrink its neck.

"Okay. Okay!"

During the time he was waiting in line, he gradually learned about the current situation from other people.

He didn't understand why the butler made him kneel down and kowtow, even though the boy beat him up and he didn't react at all.

But now he understood that even speaking ill of the emperor in private back in his hometown was a capital offense, let alone against a super strong person.

Now it's just being beaten and forced to kneel and kowtow, nothing to worry about. He's a golden-haired chicken, and Li Mingfei is flexible and adaptable. He'll kneel if he wants.

As soon as he touched the spirit-testing stone, it began to emit a faint glow. The inner disciple in front of him glanced at it and spoke in front of everyone.

"Li Mingfei, low-grade spiritual root!"

Upon hearing that he truly possessed spiritual roots, the golden-haired chicken was filled with excitement.

But upon hearing that it was only a low-grade spiritual root, his face immediately fell.

Seeing this, Lu Changfeng couldn't help but sigh.

"It seems this kid's cultivation journey is going to be tough from now on!"

If he has a superior spiritual root, that's fine. He's still a genius before the golden age of immortality has arrived, and his earlier offense to the sect leader can be considered childish and innocent.

Even with a mid-grade spiritual root, there's still hope for Foundation Establishment. Those previous comments were at most just private gossip.

Even without spiritual roots, he can go home and continue being the son of the King of Jin, continuing to be arrogant and domineering.

But right now, he only has a low-grade spiritual root. When he joins a sect, he will be under their control and have no future. It's normal for him to be targeted.

After all, the outer sect of the Tianxing Sect hardly distributes any resources; everything depends on hard work. Under such circumstances, it's easy for someone to manipulate things behind the scenes.

However, there are ways to break the deadlock. Joining the Luoyun Chamber of Commerce is a good option. It offers high salaries and you won't be targeted too much by sect disciples. As long as you have spirit stones, you can freely purchase cultivation techniques, spells, and resources.

However, he had no obligation to remind this guy, and since they had no connection, he couldn't be bothered with him.

As he continued to organize people to line up, a sudden gasp arose from the crowd.

Upon hearing the sound, Lu Changfeng quickly went to the front of the crowd and asked an acquaintance.

"Brother Liming, what happened?"

That's right, this familiar face is Li Ming. Ever since he tested his superior body refining talent and reached the mid-stage of Qi refining, he joined the sect and happened to be working alongside me at this year's Spirit Testing Conference as free laborers.

Upon seeing that it was Lu Changfeng, Li Ming immediately began to explain.

"It's Changfeng! Look, a top-grade spiritual root has appeared on that spirit-testing platform over there, and it's even fire-attribute!"

Upon learning of this, Lu Changfeng also gasped in shock.

"Wow, a top-grade spiritual root! It's been years since we've seen one like that! And it's fire-type too."

Li Ming nodded, a look of emotion creeping onto his face.

"Yes, I remember it's been five or six years. The last person with a top-grade spiritual root was from the previous year, and this person with a top-grade fire spiritual root is the first one in this year!"

Don't be fooled by the fact that Tianxing Sect is a Nascent Soul sect. It doesn't mean that top-grade spiritual roots are abundant. Basically, only one or two such individuals appear every ten years or so. Most of the geniuses people usually talk about have high-grade spiritual roots, or at most, some additional attributes.

The spiritual roots that this world talks about, as long as they don't mention specific attributes, are attributeless. Such spiritual roots have neither advantages nor disadvantages.

The fire-type spiritual root in front of us means that using fire-attribute techniques and spells will be enhanced, but it may even weaken or backfire on water-attribute spells.

As he continued working, a notification suddenly appeared.

[Ding! You have discovered a special offer on the Spirit Root Gift Pack!]

"Holy crap, it shipped?"

Upon seeing this, Lu Changfeng immediately found a quiet place before opening the gift bag to see what was inside.

[Special Offer Spirit Root Pack: Superior Spirit Root Upgrade Card, 358 Mid-Grade Spirit Stones. Price: 328 In-Game Points.]

[Superior Spiritual Root Upgrade Card: After use, your spiritual root will be directly upgraded to a superior spiritual root!]

hiss!

It was actually the spirit root gift pack I'd been waiting for!

Wuhu!

He now possesses the Azure Lotus Longevity Body, ensuring his lifespan is secure. He has also purchased the Supreme Youth Magic Gift Pack, so his combat power is not an issue. Furthermore, he has two auto-play slots, making cultivation a breeze.

The only thing he lacks now is a spiritual root. With this, his cultivation will improve rapidly. Although it's not a top-grade spiritual root, it's much better than his low-grade spiritual root.

As for the spirit stones given as a gift, they were nothing more than fly legs, not worth mentioning.

[Ding! You have purchased a special offer Spirit Root Gift Pack, consuming 328 in-game currency points. Your Spirit Root has been upgraded to Superior grade. The Spirit Stones have been stored in the system space and cannot be deposited again after being withdrawn!]

Almost the instant the purchase was completed, Lu Changfeng felt the spiritual power in his dantian increase at a visible speed.

If this pace continues, I will reach the peak of Qi Refining by the end of the year.

After reaching this conclusion, Lu Changfeng gasped. He knew that a high-grade spiritual root would typically reach the late stage of Qi Refining in two years and the Qi Refining Perfection in about four years.

And he only needed half a year to advance from the second level of Qi Refining to the peak of Qi Refining. What an terrifying cultivation speed!

However, it makes sense when you think about it. The auto-play bar increases cultivation speed and runs all day, and the Innate Five Elements Daoist Technique also increases cultivation speed. With these two bonuses, it's normal for cultivation speed to be a little bit faster.

Three days have passed in the blink of an eye. The Spirit Testing Conference has finally come to an end, and the renovation of Luoyun Shopping Mall has finally been completed.

He left home on his little motorcycle early in the morning, while it was still barely light.

There was no other way; Xie Zhixing had informed us last night that we needed to go over early today to organize the shelves, otherwise it would be too late once the store opened.

He also heard that he had been assigned to the dairy products counter, which was said to be milk produced by spirit beasts specially bred by the Beast Taming Sect, and was extremely good for children's development.

There's even a type of milk called "Spirit-Enhancing Milk," which is said to increase the probability of a child awakening a spiritual root.

Although I don't know if it's true or not, I can foresee that my time to slack off will definitely decrease significantly in the future.

Gan!

However, when he rode his little motorcycle to his assigned counter at the store, he was immediately stunned by what he saw.

The original opaque wooden cabinet was replaced with a transparent glass cabinet, which contained empty glass bottles.

The large vat that originally held the spirit grain has now been replaced with four enormous milk jars that can reach the ceiling.

Seeing that Lu Changfeng was still in a daze, Xie Zhixing poked his head out from behind the counter and urged him on.

"What are you waiting for? See these empty bottles? Our task is to fill them up according to the labels!"
