Longevity Reward Redemption: The Immortal Clan Starts with Farmers

”No need, I’ll find the County Magistrate myself!”

Chuanwu waved his hand, handed the horse to the gatekeeper, and strode into the yamen.

In the hall of the yamen, County Magistrate Lin and Immortal Official Baili sat opposite each other, both looking at the burly man before them with curiosity.

”County Magistrate Lin, Immortal Official Baili, this is the military merit token!”

Chen Chuanwu handed his first-class military merit token to the two of them.

When County Magistrate Lin opened the military merit token, he couldn’t help but gasp. The Foundation Establishment aura on the token made him tremble with fear!

To think County Magistrate Lin had Cultivated in Longwei County his whole life and was only at the Seventh Layer of Qi Refining. A Foundation Establishment Grand Cultivator was a big figure he would only occasionally see when going to the Prefecture City to report on his duties.

This kid from a farming background had actually gained the appreciation of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator. He truly had heaven-sent luck!

”Haha, Nephew Chuanwu is indeed extraordinarily brave. This first-class military merit token is not easy to get. I completely agree with a warrior like you taking over the position of our county’s Military Official!”

”What suggestions does Immortal Official Baili have?”

Baili Xi was even worse than County Magistrate Lin; he was only at the Third Layer of Qi Refining. This Foundation Establishment aura made his heart tremble. He hadn’t expected Chen Chuanwu’s background to be so solid, and for a moment, he was both shocked and delighted!

”Brother Chuanwu, your father and I are old friends. We’ll be working together from now on. If there’s anything you don’t understand, feel free to ask me!”

Compared to County Magistrate Lin, Baili Xi’s attempt to curry favor was even stronger. Chen Chuanwu was not ignorant of the ways of the world and quickly showered County Magistrate Lin and Baili Xi with praise!

This meeting to decide the third most important person in the county ended in a cheerful atmosphere.

”Lord Baili?”

After the meeting, Chen Chuanwu found Baili Xi. After all, he was the Immortal Official in charge of all immortal cultivation matters in the county. Testing Spiritual Roots had to be reported to him!

”Oh, don’t be so formal. Just call me Brother Baili!”

Baili Xi said enthusiastically. After all, this guy was recommended by a Foundation Establishment Grand Cultivator. He couldn’t easily offend him. What if his backer really was a Foundation Establishment Grand Cultivator?

”Then I won’t be formal. Brother Baili, I wonder where in the county I can test my Spiritual Root? I’d like to give it a try!”

Chen Chuanwu spoke plainly. Baili Xi waved his hand and said with a smile:

”A small matter. I’ll take Brother Chuanwu to the spirit root testing stone right now!”

Baili Xi led Chen Chuanwu to the warehouse of the yamen. There was a secret door in the warehouse, which Baili Xi opened with a specially made key.

”Let’s go, the spirit root testing stone is inside!”

Baili Xi said softly, then led Chen Chuanwu to a small room. There was a stone platform inside, on which sat a five-colored crystal ball.

”Brother Chuanwu, just place your hand on the spirit root testing stone, and it will naturally detect which Spiritual Root you possess!”

Baili Xi pointed at the crystal ball. Chen Chuanwu took a deep breath. Whether his Family’s Cultivation Technique could truly be Heaven-Defying and change his fate would be seen today!

Chen Chuanwu carefully placed his hand on the five-colored crystal. A moment later, a five-colored pillar of light appeared on the crystal ball.

”Sigh, a five-element spiritual root. Metal element is the best, Water element is the worst!”

Baili Xi’s gaze toward Chen Chuanwu was somewhat complex. He had once hoped Chuanwu had no Spiritual Root so he could better control the Chen Family.

But Chuanwu happened to have a five-element spiritual root. He could Cultivate, but his Aptitude was the worst. Baili Xi pondered what attitude he should take toward him!

”A five-element spiritual root... my talent really isn’t good!”

Chuanwu appeared unhappy on the surface, but inside, his heart was racing. He knew he didn’t have a Spiritual Root before!

Now, because of a set of Cultivation Techniques, he had actually cultivated a Spiritual Root!
