Wu Qingguan's pupils suddenly contracted, and he instinctively released his divine sense to carefully examine, confirming beyond doubt, he couldn't help but clap his hands and laugh:

"Good! Good! My Wu Clan has successors!"

He quickly walked down the steps, approaching the boy with a gentle face:

"Child, what is your name, and who is your mother?"

But the boy protected his younger siblings behind him, cautiously looking at him:

"Who are you?"

"I am Wu Guang, and my mother is Wu Lingshuang."

Wu Qingguan's smile deepened, forming wrinkles at the corners of his eyes:

"Guang, vast and limitless, a good name! Since you are Shuang'Er's child, I am your great-grandfather."

Upon hearing, Wu Guang, along with his younger siblings, bowed: "Greetings, great-grandfather."

Wu Qingguan laughed heartily:

"All good children, all good children!"

Looking at the child before him, he was overjoyed beyond words.

——An Earth Grade Spiritual Root, as long as resources are not lacking, can easily cultivate to Foundation Establishment Perfection, even hopes of reaching Golden Core.

Unlike him, who had experienced countless life-and-death trials, only to barely reach Foundation Establishment Perfection, but with damaged foundation, no chance of progressing further.

The Testing Spirit Elder beside them was also dumbfounded, muttering:

"Six spirit tests, one Earth Grade, two High Grades, three Middle Grades... It's simply unimaginable!"

He had long heard these children's father had a unique physique, but had never witnessed it firsthand; now he was truly taken aback!

The inheritance of spiritual roots is never certain.

Even High Grade Spiritual Roots can have descendants with Lower Grade or even No Spiritual Root, unlike now, none are lacking!

Wu Qingshan quickly leaned close to Wu Qingguan's ear, quietly asking:

"Patriarch, how should we cultivate this child?"

Wu Qingguan pondered briefly, a decisive glimmer in his eyes:

"Send him to the Sect."

Wu Qingshan hesitated:

"Wouldn't that make him feel detached from the family? Moreover, his father is already in the Sect..."

Wu Qingguan waved his hand:

"What do you know."

"This region belongs to Qinghua; if our Wu Clan wishes to advance further, tying ourselves to the Sect is the only path."

He patted Wu Guang's little head:

"This child bears the Wu name, carries our clan's blood, that's enough."

"As for that Chen Zhenchuan?"

He sneered:

"You're worrying about nothing, once today's spirit test results spread, the threshold of his mansion will surely be trampled flat!"

Wu Qingshan hesitated even more:

"Shouldn't we seal the news?"

Wu Qingguan gave him a helpless look:

"Seal? Can you stop it?"

"You, ah, are too short-sighted."

"Quickly prepare several generous gifts, one to Pill Furnace Peak for Chen Zhenchuan, another for that girl Lingshuang, just congratulate her for having a good son."

...

Inside Hidden Dragon Cave Mansion.

Chen Sheng had just seen off the messenger sent by the Wu Clan, looking at the pile of gifts in the corner, couldn't help but marvel at the Wu Clan's generosity.

Among the dozen or so jade boxes, each contained various Tier Two Spiritual Objects needed for body refining.

A hundred-year-old Red Blood Vine, Qi Condensing Flower, and a fist-sized Flood Dragon Pearl Fruit... Together, worth no less than sixty to seventy thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones.

At this moment, the Communication Golden Order lit up; it was a message from Wu Lingshuang, filled with excitement:

"Husband! Guang'Er has tested for an Earth Grade Spiritual Root!"

Holding the Golden Order, Chen Sheng already knew the news from the Wu Clan's messenger.

Still, he couldn't suppress his excitement—he actually fathered a son with an Earth Grade Spiritual Root?

Not long after.

A familiar message came from the mansion's array.

Chen Sheng quickly stood to greet and said with a smile:

"Third Senior Brother, what brings you here?"

Li Yuan cupped his hands with a smile:

"Congratulations, Junior Brother, for giving birth to a Qilin Child!"

Chen Sheng was taken aback: "The news spread so quickly?"

Li Yuan teased:

"The Wu Clan didn't keep it under wraps at all; even the Elder Lin from Treasure Mist Peak knows."

"The Patriarch of the Nine Refinements Lin Clan doesn't know you, but knowing I am on duty at Pill Cloud Hall, they had me relay the message."

Chen Sheng suddenly understood.

For the Wu Clan to establish itself in Immortal City, a sect's backing was naturally necessary—the Elder Lin from Treasure Mist Peak, supposedly, an ancestor of the Wu Clan was his named disciple.

If nothing unexpected happens, Wu Guang will also be sent to Treasure Mist Peak for cultivation.

The Nine Refinements Lin Clan is the direct descendant of Elder Lin.

Chen Sheng smiled:

"What do they want from me?"

Li Yuan's eyes glinted with playfulness, looking at him with a faint smile:

"I don't know. I only came to deliver a message. But you see..."

He lowered his voice:

"The Lin Clan has had no outstanding offspring for years now."

"They hold several Tier Three Ore Veins; when negotiating terms, Junior Brother, don't be too humble, but don't ask for too much either."

With that, he handed over a Jade Scroll:

"This is for you from Master, for reference."

Chen Sheng took the Jade Scroll, and upon probing with his divine sense, he gasped.

Listed were various body refining spiritual objects, numerous and each precious, their value beyond estimation.

Combined, these resources were enough to support his cultivation to Body Refining Sixth Layer.

Only now did Chen Sheng realize he had underestimated the weight of an Earth Grade Spiritual Root. Thankfully, his master had sent the Jade Scroll in advance; otherwise, he might truly have sold himself short.

He hurriedly cupped his hands: "Thank you for the reminder, Senior Brother."

Li Yuan chuckled lightly:

"Alright then, Senior Brother is leaving now."

...

Inside Danxin Cave.

Dragon Void Daoist looked at his third disciple with a gentle smile and said:

"Did you deliver the goods to your junior brother?"

Li Yuan nodded:

"I did, and Junior Brother accepted them gladly."

Dragon Void Daoist stroked his beard, his eyes showing a hint of satisfaction:

"Your junior brother cultivates a resource-consuming Body Refining Technique; I've always worried about his cultivation resources."

"Now, it seems, your junior brother's physique is special, and he has some luck. I don't need to worry anymore."

Then he shifted his focus to Li Yuan:

"Why hasn't your family taken the opportunity to propose a collaboration?"

Li Yuan replied with a smile:

"I am currently focused on breaking through to Golden Core, and the family resources are tilted in my favor, leaving no energy for such endeavors."

"Besides, I can't offer as high a price as the Lin Clan; if I rashly propose, it would make things difficult for Junior Brother. Better to wait until I've formed a Core."

Dragon Void Daoist nodded approvingly:

"It's good that you can distinguish between short-term and long-term goals."

After seeing Li Yuan off, Dragon Void Daoist took out a Communication Order and sent several messages to old friends, all with similar content.

Mostly informing them about Chen Sheng's special physique and the birth of an Earth Grade Spiritual Root heir, inviting interested collaborators to discuss at Pill Furnace Peak.

He didn't shy away from this "leveraging for benefit" approach.

Cultivation on the Great Dao aims to utilize resources to the fullest; accumulating more resources for disciples' cultivation is a joy.

Dragon Void Daoist looked at the sea of clouds outside the cave, pondering:

"Body refining exhausts resources; if enough resources for Body Refining Sixth Layer Perfection are gathered at once, he can cultivate undistracted."

As for resources needed for Body Refining Seventh Layer or Core Formation...

Dragon Void Daoist didn't dare hope.

Such resources were scarce even for his own sect; no one would willingly part with them—those old cultivators wouldn't act without certain profit.

Suddenly, Dragon Void Daoist chuckled:

"Unless, this youngster manages to produce a Celestial Grade Spiritual Root offspring in the future!"
