Capítulo 220: Chapter 220
After the birthday feast, the weather became increasingly cold.
The climate in Xizhou is quite extreme; once winter arrives, it becomes deadly cold, and snowflakes fall as if they cost nothing.
The people from the salt field have all withdrawn.
This year, the village expanded by a full double, encompassing most of the west bank.
During the winter, everyone stayed in the village. Although the snowy days were cold, the village was livelier than usual.
After the birthday feast, the weather turned colder.
The climate in Xizhou is quite extreme; once winter arrives, it becomes deadly cold, and snowflakes fall as if they cost nothing.
The people from the salt field have all withdrawn.
This year, the village expanded by a full double, encompassing most of the west bank.
During the winter, everyone stayed in the village. Although the snowy days were cold, the village was livelier than usual.
Yu Su planned to take advantage of this opportunity for another round of spiritual root testing.
With the addition of many new people to the village this year, there should be some new seedlings.
Without hesitation, the next day, when the weather cleared, Yu Su summoned everyone to prepare for the spiritual root tests.
Yu Feng took out a booklet containing the names of those who had undergone the spiritual root test. Those who had already been tested didn't need to be tested again. The main focus was on those who hadn't been tested.
"What is a spiritual root test?" Those newly added to the Yu Village didn't understand.
They didn't yet know what they were about to face, but the people of Yu Village did.
"That's a good thing," an elderly person from Yu Village sighed. "Those with spiritual roots can cultivate the divine arts taught by Lord Mountain God. Those without spiritual roots can only be ordinary people."
The newcomers to Yu Village were stunned. Having spiritual roots meant being able to practice divine arts.
The elderly person from Yu Village, seeing the enthusiasm in their eyes, shook his head. "Lord Yu Su said not everyone has spiritual roots. Even among ten thousand people, it's not guaranteed that one person will possess spiritual roots when luck is bad."
The newfound excitement of the new Yu Village residents cooled slightly.
Then the elderly person from Yu Village continued, "However, Lord Yu Su also said our Yu Village has good Feng Shui, and the probability of producing spiritual roots is high."
The new Yu Village residents were puzzled. "Probability?"
The elderly person from Yu Village stared, "It means there are many people with spiritual roots. Can't you focus on what's important?"
The new Yu Village residents dared not speak and quickly nodded.
Although their emotions were tumultuous, the new Yu Village residents were still excited.
That was divine arts.
Who wouldn't want to have them?
"I thought I would never encounter divine arts in my lifetime. I didn't expect that we would have a chance."
"If it were another village, how could such things be casually taught? Only Yu Village treats us all equally."
"It's Lord Yu Su," said Xia Bai, who was walking in front. "It's Lord Yu Su who treats us all equally."
After spending half a year in Yu Village, Xia Bai already knew who had changed everything in Yu Village.
Everyone said all this was a gift from Lord Mountain God, but Xia Bai noticed that Lord Mountain God almost never came out of Deer God Mountain. Everything in Yu Village was managed by Lord Yu Su. He gave Yu Village many things they had never seen before.
He didn't have the deep-rooted belief in Lord Mountain God like the people of Yu Village.
Especially after experiencing the destruction of the village, being captured as a slave soldier, and almost dying on the battlefield, his faith in the gods had long wavered.
He now only believed in Lu Yan and Yu Su, who saved them, so he could see more.
"Xia Bai, do you think we will have spiritual roots?" asked a companion, nervous and expectant.
They trained every day in the warrior camp and knew how powerful the warriors of Yu Village were. But even so, they were not as powerful as the warriors of the Five Elements Warrior Camp because the Five Elements Warriors could use divine arts.
No one wanted to miss such an opportunity.
Xia Bai was also excited because of the excitement, and his voice was a bit hoarse, "I don't know."
"Hey, Xia Bai!" the person who spoke earlier gave him a nudge and pointed to another line, saying, "That person looks like your sister."
Xia Bai was stunned and quickly looked over.
The other line also consisted of new Yu Village residents, refugees who came from all directions to join Yu Village.
When they first arrived in Yu Village, Xia Bai and the others were eager to show their abilities, burying themselves in farming every day, with no time to interact with others. Later, they entered the warrior camp, busy with training every day, and had even fewer opportunities to interact with others.
So at this moment, Xia Bai saw the girl at the front of the other line, and his eyes instantly turned red.
It was Xia Qiu, truly his sister.
He wanted to go over, but his companion held him back.
"Wait, don't be impulsive. Wait until the spiritual root test is over before finding her." said the companion.
They were in a line now, and if he ran out and disrupted the formation, the captain would definitely reprimand them.
Xia Bai nodded, but his gaze still remained on the direction of Xia Qiu.
...
This time, nearly three thousand people were lined up on the square for the spiritual root test. Yu Su himself took a break, letting Lu Yan and Jian Yunchuan take turns infusing spiritual power into the artifacts to test the spiritual roots of those people. He leisurely sat on the side, openly taking a break.
Even so, it wasn't enough. Lu Yan was afraid he would get bored, so he had someone place a table in front of him with all sorts of food.
Yu Su: "..."
Is this appropriate?
He quickly ordered people to take it down; otherwise, it would damage his image as a superior.
Lu Yan, helpless, could only speed up the testing.
"Next."
A young girl stepped onto the testing platform, placed her hand on the artifact, and suddenly, two lights lit up.
Yu Su squinted.
Well, dual spiritual roots, and the roots are quite robust. This is a good seedling.
Recording on the side, Yu Feng quickly asked, "What's your name?"
The girl, pleasantly surprised, took a while to respond nervously, "I-I'm Xia Qiu."
Yu Feng nodded, "How old are you?"
The girl, "Sixteen."
Yu Feng nodded again, "Go stand over there."
She was the first one today to be tested with spiritual roots, and it was a double, a good start.
After Xia Qiu stood there, feeling uneasy, not knowing what to do.
Fish Clan, watching nearby, patted Yu Zhu's shoulder, signaling her to go talk to the girl.
Yu Zhu nodded and went over to chat with Xia Qiu, whispering, "Don't be nervous. Standing here means you can cultivate in the future; it's a good thing."
Xia Qiu quickly nodded, covering her pounding heart, "O-Okay."
The girl who came with Xia Qiu wasn't as fortunate; she didn't have spiritual roots and walked off the testing platform dejectedly.
"Next."
After testing over a hundred more people, a young man with three spiritual roots appeared.
Subsequently, there were individuals with three and four spiritual roots. Out of over a thousand people tested, a total of twenty-one had spiritual roots, but there were no more double spiritual roots, let alone single spiritual roots.
Yu Su wasn't disheartened; after all, single spiritual roots were rare. Around him, there were Lu Yan, Jian Yunchuan, and Yu Kui, all with single spiritual roots, which was already considered fortunate.
The probability of having spiritual roots among the over a thousand people was already quite high.
"It seems that it's not unique to Yu Village but rather the people of this era benefiting from the rich spiritual energy, resulting in a much higher probability of having spiritual roots compared to later generations," Yu Su silently communicated with the Full-Spectrum Spirit in his mind.
[Indeed.]
The lineup for testing spiritual roots was replaced by a new group, the warriors who recently joined the warrior camp.
Over ninety percent of them were former slave soldiers, and the rest were young, strong individuals with good conduct selected from the new refugees joining Yu Village.
Yu Su felt that the probability of having spiritual roots among this group might be higher than the previous one.
And Yu Su's intuition was correct. The first warrior to step onto the testing platform tested positive for double spiritual roots. Although one was bright, and the other was weak, not as remarkable as Xia Qiu, it was still a good sign.
The second person was Xia Bai.
When Xia Bai stepped onto the platform, Xia Qiu, who was nearby, was stunned, "Brother?"
Hmm?
Yu Su looked over.
Xia Qiu called out in excitement, "Brother, it's really you!"
She wanted to run up to the testing platform but was stopped.
Yu Su: "Let her come up."
The person blocking her let go, and Xia Qiu ran up to the testing platform.
"Brother!"
The siblings recognized each other on the testing platform.
After their emotions calmed down a bit, Yu Su asked, "Are you two blood siblings?"
Facing Yu Su with some nervousness, Xia Bai explained, "Yes, Lord Yu Su, Xia Qiu is my biological sister. When the village was destroyed, she and the people from the village escaped. I always thought she had died, never expected to see her again."
Standing behind Yu Su, Yu Meng slapped his shoulder, "Oh, I remember now. Back then, when I heard you were from Xia Village, I suspected you might know some of the refugees who came here, but then I forgot to mention it to you."
Xia Bai tightly held his sister's hand, "Lord Yu Su, we..."
Yu Su said, "This is a good thing. After the testing, you two can talk."
With Xia Bai leading, he respectfully bowed to Yu Su.
Xia Qiu also eased her mood and quickly left the testing platform.
When Xia Bai walked up to the testing artifact, he was extremely nervous.
His sister had spiritual roots, but he didn't know if he did.
"Put your hand up," said Lu Yan, holding the artifact.
Xia Bai nodded and placed his hand on it.
A bright white light shot into the sky.
Yu Su sat up straight, "Oh, single water spiritual root."
Others were also quite surprised.
Even Yu Meng widened his eyes, "This kid is quite lucky."
The crowd became restless.
Yu Feng, seeing the situation, immediately said to Xia Bai, "Alright, you can take your hand off now."
Xia Bai didn't understand what the bright light meant; he only knew it seemed to prove that he also had spiritual roots. His nervous mood relaxed.
"Brother! You also have spiritual roots!" After Xia Bai stepped down from the testing platform, Xia Qiu exclaimed in excitement.
Feeling that the atmosphere just now seemed a bit different, Xia Bai worried that there might be something wrong with his spiritual roots.
Yu Zhu reassured him, "Your spiritual roots are fine, quite the opposite. Your spiritual roots are excellent, a single spiritual root. Including you, currently, only five people in the entire village have spiritual roots."
Xia Bai was stunned, five people!
"Who are the other four?"
"Lord Yu Su, Leader Lu, Lord Yunchuan, and Yu Kui."
Currently, except for Lu Yan, no one knew that Yu Su had full spiritual roots; everyone thought he had a single spiritual root.
After hearing Yu Zhu's words, Xia Bai's breathing became heavier. He, like Leader Lu and Lord Yu Su?
Could he be as powerful as Leader Lu in the future?
Could he also stand by Lord Yu Su like Leader Lu?
Xia Bai suddenly clenched his fist, and a burst of light erupted from his eyes.
He glanced discreetly at Lu Yan and Yu Su, feeling incredibly excited.
