Chapter 403: Chapter 403 Home

The black stele was covered in rosy light, and a beam of light shot up into the sky. The crowd stared in utter shock, their hearts trembling with the scene before them.

Jiang Lichun was equally astounded. He had thought that, with Li Xiaoyao’s talent for cultivation, possessing a Fifth or Sixth Rank Spirit Root should be normal. But now, the reaction of the stele clearly surpassed that grade.

He had tested hundreds of disciples before, and the ones with the best Spirit Roots were only Seventh Rank. He had never encountered such a situation.

After a moment of silence, the crowd began to murmur,

“What Rank is that Spirit Root?”

“I think it must be at least Eighth Rank.”

“Good heavens, an Eighth Rank Spirit Root? How terrifying is that kid!”

“I remember the strongest Spirit Root in the Xuan Sect belongs to Sister Ye Yisheng, right? When the Sect Leader tested her Spirit Root, it reached the Seventh Rank.”

“At that time, the Sect Leader was so excited, saying Sister Ye Yisheng was a peerless genius that the Xuan Sect hadn’t seen in a hundred years. Could it be that this kid is even more formidable than Sister Ye?”

A flicker of emotion appeared on the stunning face of Ye Qingcheng as her beautiful eyes, now filled with astonishment, looked towards Li Xiaoyao.

“Master, what Rank is his Spirit Root?” Ye Yisheng asked in a shocked whisper, looking at the stele enveloped by the colorful rosy light.

Ye Qingcheng shook her head and said, “The testing stele can only detect up to a Ninth Rank Spirit Root. If it’s beyond that level, it cannot be measured.”

“Does that mean his Spirit Root has surpassed the limit that the testing stele can measure?” Ye Yisheng asked incredulously. “Is there really such a genius in this world?”

Standing beside Li Xiaoyao, Jiang Lichun’s weathered face nearly bloomed into a chrysanthemum with his smile.

He struck gold, truly struck gold this time. He thought his estimation of Li Xiaoyao was already high enough, but this scene still caught Jiang Lichun by surprise.

This kid was truly beyond all expectations, with at least a Ninth Rank Spirit Root, as even the testing stele couldn’t determine it.

Jiang Lichun remembered that in the Cultivator circles, any Cultivator with a Ninth Rank Spirit Root was an awe-inspiring presence.

Even if Li Xiaoyao was not yet as powerful as they were, at least he had proven he possessed the potential to become a peerless powerhouse.

Gazing at the stele shrouded in the colorful rosy light, Li Xiaoyao felt somewhat bewildered.

What was going on? Just what Rank was his Spirit Root?

“Li Xiaoyao, beyond Ninth Rank Spirit Root.” Jiang Lichun’s voice floated over the altar, and upon hearing this result, the crowd’s jaws dropped in unison.

“Holy shit, that’s awesome, beyond Ninth Rank Spirit Root!”

“That must be the strongest Spirit Root, right!”

“No wonder he can hold the position of honorary elder at such a young age, he really has some skills.”

And in the midst of this chorus of agreement, there were always a few dissenting voices.

“What good is a strong Spirit Root if the cultivation level isn’t there?”

“People with strong Spirit Roots don’t necessarily have powerful cultivation levels. On the path of cultivation, the most important things are mentality and perseverance. This is a point proven by countless Cultivators.”

“Indeed, that’s true.”

Jiang Lichun walked to another stele and announced, “Next, we test the cultivation level.”

Li Xiaoyao lifted his hand once more and gently placed it on the stele, as the gaze of the crowd converged on him again.

As pairs of eyes turned to the stele, it remained silent for a few seconds before, suddenly, five large characters emerged.

“Spirit Cultivation Realm, First Rank.”

An eerie silence fell over the vast altar, the crowd’s faces stiff, their expressions frozen in place.

Yuan Li felt sure he was dreaming, as this man of a similar age not only possessed a Spirit Root beyond ordinary people but also had a cultivation level that was simply unbelievable.

Under thirty years of age and already at the First Rank of the Spirit Cultivation Realm—such a pace of progress was unattainable even by the eldest senior brother.

Jiang Lichun let out a long breath as he saw the cultivation level displayed on the stele with his own eyes.@@novelbin@@

The test of the Spirit Root and cultivation level this time was nothing short of perfect.

With absolute strength, Li Xiaoyao made everyone present accept his superiority.

“The test is complete,” announced Jiang Lichun, and with his words, the ceremony of the altar’s seal award officially came to an end.

The disciples dispersed, their chatter never ceased, and Yuan Li still could not believe what had transpired. The impact on him was immensely profound.

He had regarded himself as one of the few at Xuan Sect whose cultivation level surpassed his own. In terms of potential, he was confident he was the foremost. Yet the sudden emergence of Li Xiaoyao was like a heavy hammer blow to his head, shattering his beautiful dreams with a single strike.

After returning from the altar, Jiang Lichun hosted a dinner with only a few attendees.

Jiang Lichun was there with his third disciple, Yuan Li, and Ye Qingcheng with his disciple, Ye Yisheng, along with Li Xiaoyao and Nie Xiaoqian.

“This is Yuan Li, my third disciple. He will also go to the Human Realm this time,” said Jiang Lichun, picking up a piece of demon beast meat.

Yuan Li had already met Li Xiaoyao, so when he heard this, Li Xiaoyao just glanced at him.

Ye Qingcheng said, “This is my disciple, Ye Yisheng. He will be going to the Human Realm this time, and I hope Elder Li can take good care of him.”

Ye Yisheng, who had been silent until now, called out with a faint air on his master’s cue, “Uncle-Master Li.”

Having witnessed Li Xiaoyao’s strength, Ye Qingcheng had no more doubts about this young honorary elder. Entrusting Ye Yisheng temporarily into his care was a matter he could feel secure about.

Suddenly, Yuan Li frowned and asked, “Is he also going to the Human Realm?”

“Mm, your Uncle-Master Li will act as the leader this time, guiding you into the Human Realm,” Jiang Lichun said softly, seemingly oblivious to his discontent.

Yuan Li fell silent, realizing that some matters were not for him to decide, nor could he choose otherwise. Given this, keeping his mouth shut might indeed be the best approach.

Early the next morning, Li Xiaoyao left Xuan Sect. Before leaving, he had spoken to Jiang Lichun about Medicine God Valley. Jiang Lichun was exceedingly astonished when he heard about it.

While Jiang Lichun felt apprehensive about Li Xiaoyao’s bold action, the result was still very tempting to him.

Though Jiang Lichun had some connections with Medicine God Valley, if he wanted some medicinal materials on a normal day, he still had to offer something of equal value in exchange. But now that the entire Medicine God Valley belonged to Li Xiaoyao, he could just take whatever he wanted.

As for politeness, Jiang Lichun didn’t really know how to apply it this time.

After leaving Xuan Sect, Li Xiaoyao and Nie Xiaoqian headed south. Midway, Nie Xiaoqian suddenly said, “Master, Xiaoqian is homesick.”

Li Xiaoyao was taken aback, then remembered that he had once promised her he would surely take her home for a visit. They had known each other for several months now, yet that promise had not yet been fulfilled.

With some free time these days, although Cheng Dongliang had also arranged to meet with him at the military by the weekend, clearly, Xiaoqian’s concern was of much greater importance.
