"What did you say?!" Patriarch Qin roared angrily, "You can't even handle this trivial matter, what use are you to me!" "Patriarch, even if the Li family knows it was us who made the move, they would not dare to confront the family..." Without mentioning it, it would have been fine, but as soon as Manager Qin opened his mouth, he completely set off Patriarch Qin, "You fool! Does it matter now whether the Li family will take action or not? After this incident, do you think Welcoming Immortals Inn will still have customers!"@@@@ Everybody knows that the Qin Family has a close relationship with the Yuanming Sect, but in this incident, it's the Li family who are the victims. If the Yuanming Sect forcibly intervenes, what would the other vassal clans think? Moreover, it's clear that the Li family is also aware of the Qin Family's relationship with the Yuanming Sect, and they don't plan to take action themselves, but this kind of heart-scouring tactic is even more terrifying! As for the Golden Core cultivator of the Yuanming Sect, the Qin Family is not willing to wear out their relationship over this affair. "You go to the marketplace right now, take down the signboard of the Welcoming Immortals Inn, then close it down until things have blown over, after which you can reopen under a new name!" Patriarch Qin looked at the worthless person before him and felt agitated. "And then what?" Manager Qin asked a very foolish question. Patriarch Qin used all his strength to suppress the rage in his heart, and just roared loudly, "Then you roll back here! Stay honestly at home within the family!" If it wasn't for the fact that the other person was his actual blood relative, he would have seriously considered chopping him down! But before the matter of Welcoming Immortals Inn was resolved, Patriarch Qin heard another piece of news, a very frightening piece of news! Zheng, Zhang, He, the three major families, had all lost a Foundation Establishment cultivator! "This..." Patriarch Qin immediately realized that these three Foundation Establishment cultivators likely died at the hands of the Li family. "Do you know what happened?" Elder Qin shook his head and said, "Unclear, the news is incomplete, and yet oddly, those three families haven't come forward to explain." "This is probably a message deliberately released by the Li family, aimed at deterring us and other forces targeting them," Patriarch Qin said. He couldn't help but sigh, "Enough is enough, the Li family is not someone we can provoke; let's just keep to ourselves." The hustle and bustle of the outside world did not disturb the peace and serenity on Da Rong Island — the Li family seemed unaffected, as if it were any other day. "In the past, the family only considered Da Rong Island as a place to continue the bloodline, mainly focusing their efforts on Bailang County." After all, who could have predicted that the White Jade Sect would suddenly give rise to a Nascent Soul cultivator, causing the Beast Taming Sect to collapse? "We'll take it slow, now everything in the family is developing in a good direction." Since the children to be tested had all arrived, Li Shiren stopped chatting with Li Zhirui and quickly walked to the Spirit Testing Array, ready to activate the formation and begin the testing. The Spirit Testing Array could test a hundred people at once, not like the Spirit Testing Stone which was more troublesome and had to be used one by one, slowly. But if it weren't for Li Shiren being a second-tier array master, they wouldn't have been able to use the Spirit Testing Array because it was a second-tier formation! "Enter the formation!" As Li Shiren spoke, a hundred bewildered children, under the expectant gaze of their parents, stepped into the formation. Li Shiren activated the formation, and instantly, eight different colors of spirit light emerged and then dispersed, each settling into the formation. As time passed, gradually, one of the children had three pillars of light rise above their head, representing the white light pillar of the Metal Spirit Root, the green light pillar of the Wood Spirit Root, and the yellow light pillar of the Earth Spirit Root. The Spirit Testing Array could only detect if there were any spiritual roots; as for the purity of the spiritual roots, a more accurate testing would be needed. But no matter what, this year the Li family was going to have a new clan member. "What a great start!" Li Zhihao said joyfully, "It looks like this Spirit Testing Conference is going to have a good outcome." "Indeed!" Li Zhirui was also very hopeful. Li Shiren shut down the formation, and then another elder took the child with spiritual roots to one side, waiting for the testing to end and then taking everyone to test for the purity of their spiritual roots. The other children, understanding what this meant, couldn't help but burst into tears, causing many others to start crying as well, and suddenly the place was full of crying and wailing. Watching this scene, Li Zhirui suddenly remembered the day thirteen years ago, when he stood within the Spirit Testing Array. At that time, he had just realized he had transversed to a world of cultivation and was full of hope for a good outcome! And when the result appeared, before Li Zhirui could react, he saw all the cultivators around him smiling broadly and gathering around him. At that moment, he couldn't help but think that he must have spiritual roots, and it seemed like his aptitude was quite good. Then, Li Zhirui was tested again, and although many showed disappointment after the results, he didn't mind. He only knew that he had spiritual roots and was qualified to enter the mysterious and unpredictable world of cultivation!
