In a daze, a long-lost memory floated to the forefront of Ji Yuan's mind.
It was the scene when the original owner participated in the spirit root detection back then, a similar scenario. He still remembered the indifferent glance from that Water Dragon Sect cultivator who was missing a left ear, who then expressionlessly said:
"Ji Yuan, gold, wood, water, and fire four-spirit roots, not selected."
Now, the same scene was unfolding with someone else.
The boy named Zhang Tie, upon hearing he had four spirit roots, didn't feel dejected. Instead, he happily threw himself into the arms of a woman, exclaiming joyfully, "Mom, I also have a spirit root, I also have a spirit root!"
Having a spirit root means being able to become a cultivator.
No matter what happens afterwards.
People without spirit roots really can't become cultivators.
Like the four or five children that followed, who didn't even have a spirit root.
