"Joy and... surprise?"
Fang Xi pondered, "Could the so-called joy be the discovery of a talented seedling?"
"Exactly!"
Feng Manlou slapped his thigh, "At this year's Spiritual Testing Convention, the Island Lord discovered a young girl with a top-grade fire spiritual root! Overjoyed, he accepted her as a disciple, giving her the surname 'Ruan' and the name 'Ruan Dan'!"
In the cultivation world, spiritual roots encompass all five elements, with the strongest one determining the grade.
Having a top-grade fire spiritual root qualification is sufficient even for entry into the Profound Heaven Sect!
Moreover, Ruan Xingling is also a weapon refiner, with her spiritual root leaning towards fire!
"Finding a successor, the Island Lord must be delighted."
Fang Xi leisurely sipped from a purple sand teacup, "And the surprise?"
"This surprise... among this batch of young talents, there is another person named 'Lu Guo,' who possesses a middle-grade wood spiritual root..."
Feng Manlou seemed to be somewhat troubled.
"Lu Guo?"
