Chapter 1: The Dual Unique Spirit Roots!

Yan Family Fortress.

The annual Spirit Root Testing Ceremony was held as scheduled.

Unlike previous years, the only Core Formation ancestor of the Yan Family personally attended this year's Spirit Root Testing Ceremony.

The reason for this was that the current family head's only daughter, Yan Ruyan, had tested positive for a Heavenly Spirit Root.

A Heavenly Spirit Root, as long as it doesn't wither halfway, is a surefire path to Core Formation.

The Yan Family's old ancestor looked at Yan Ruyan in front of him, his eyes filled with joy.

"Continue the spirit root testing!"

Following the old ancestor's words, the remaining six Yan Family disciples lined up and walked up to the stage for testing.

Yan Yun, looking at the young girl on the stage who was just over ten years old, was filled with envy.

As a pitiful transmigrator, he had only received the identity of a Yan Family orphan, with no special advantages.

"Yan Yun!"

The middle-aged cultivator on the stage called out, looking at the book in his hand.

This was the last Yan Family disciple to be tested this year.

Yan Yun did not dare to delay, and quickly walked up to the stage.

He placed his right hand on the Spirit Root Testing Pearl.

It would display different colors based on the five elements: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.

Yan Yun was nervous; this would determine whether he could enter the world of cultivation.

Placing his right hand on the Spirit Root Testing Pearl, Yan Yun felt a cool sensation in his palm, followed by a stream of green light flowing over the pearl.

Seeing this, Yan Yun felt a surge of joy.

He knew he had a spirit root.

The Yan Family's old ancestor, sitting in his seat, raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Unique Spirit Root?"

A Unique Spirit Root is different from the five-element spirit roots, being a fusion of two spirit roots.

Its cultivation speed is not as fast as a Heavenly Spirit Root, but it far surpasses a True Spirit Root.

Moreover, the power of the spells cultivated with a Unique Spirit Root is much stronger than those of the five-element spirit roots.

"Wind Spirit Root!"

The Yan Family head's face lit up with joy, and he turned to the old ancestor, bowing: "Truly, the heavens favor our Yan Family Fortress. I never expected to gain another Unique Spirit Root today!"

"Excellent, excellent!"

The Yan Family's old ancestor's face was filled with joy. He slowly stood up and looked at the group of Yan Family disciples below.

"Yan Yun, Yan Ruyan, come here!"

The old ancestor gently waved his hand.

Seeing this, Yan Yun did not dare to delay, and quickly walked to the old ancestor, bowing respectfully:

"Junior Yan Yun, pays respects to the old ancestor!"

Compared to the nervous Yan Yun, Yan Ruyan was much calmer. She walked forward slowly and said with a smile:

"Ruyan pays respects to the old ancestor!"

The old ancestor waved his sleeve, and two storage bags flew out, hovering in front of the two.

"You are the future of the Yan Family!"

"These are my gifts to you. I hope you do not disappoint my expectations!"

With that,

A stream of light wrapped around the old ancestor, transforming into a beam of light that disappeared from the spot.

Seeing the old ancestor leave, everyone present bowed:

"Send off the old ancestor!"

As the old ancestor left, the Yan Family head turned to the remaining Yan Family disciples and said, "After you leave, be sure to cultivate diligently and do not disappoint the old ancestor!"

"Yan Yun, from now on, you will cultivate with Ruyan!"

"I will send someone to teach you both!"

Hearing this, Yan Yun felt a surge of joy. He had been in this world for ten years.

Finally, he could cultivate.

"Thank you, family head!"

Yan Yun bowed respectfully, his face filled with gratitude.

"Father, why do I have to cultivate with him?"

Yan Ruyan glanced at Yan Yun, a hint of disdain in her eyes.

Yan Ruyan was the only daughter of the Yan Family head and had a Heavenly Spirit Root. Although Yan Yun had a Unique Spirit Root,

he was an orphan. Why should he be allowed to cultivate with her?

The Yan Family head gently patted Yan Ruyan's hair and smiled, "You are about the same age. Cultivating together can help you motivate each other!"

Soon, Yan Yun moved out of his cramped and dilapidated room and into a spacious courtyard.

There were even two Qi Practitioners patrolling the entrance.

These were Yan Family disciples with poorer aptitudes, who had only cultivated to the early Qi Practitioner stage and were assigned to patrol and guard duties within the clan.

From this, Yan Yun could see that the Yan Family head valued him.

Although a Unique Spirit Root was not as good as a Heavenly Spirit Root, it was still a highly sought-after existence in the seven major sects.

Closing the door,

Yan Yun looked at the storage bag in his hand, his eyes filled with joy.

Gently shaking the storage bag, several items spilled onto the table.

This storage bag had a special restriction; once opened, all the items inside would fall out.

This made it convenient for the two.

There were several low-grade spirit stones, a cultivation manual for the Qi Practitioner stage, and several porcelain bottles emitting a medicinal fragrance.

The porcelain bottles contained auxiliary cultivation pills, the Golden Marrow Pills that Han Li had once refined.

As for the cultivation manual, it was called the "Swift Wind Technique."

It was a cultivation method for the Wind Spirit Root, from the Qi Practitioner stage to the Foundation Establishment stage, and included three wind-based techniques:

Swift Wind Spell, Wind Blade Technique, and Wind Ball Technique.

Yan Yun sat cross-legged and followed the cultivation method of the Swift Wind Technique, forming the hand seals.

He absorbed the spiritual energy from the air.

It must be said that the aptitude of a Unique Spirit Root was excellent. Without taking any pills, in just half a day,

Yan Yun could already feel a thin stream of spiritual energy flowing in his dantian.

Cultivation has no set time, and soon a day passed.

There were already two streams of spiritual energy in his dantian.

"Daily settlement system activated!"

[Completed one day of cultivation, gained two streams of spiritual energy.]

Hearing the system prompt in his ear, Yan Yun was slightly stunned.

In his dantian, two additional streams of spiritual energy appeared out of nowhere.

To advance from the first level of Qi Practitioner to the second level, he only needed one hundred streams of spiritual energy.

In other words, he could break through in less than a month?

At the same time, a status bar visible only to him appeared before his eyes.

[Yan Yun]

[Spirit Roots: Wind, Thunder Spirit Root]

[Cultivation: First Level Qi Practitioner]

[Cultivation Manual: Swift Wind Technique]

[Spells: None]

[Abilities: None]

Looking at the status bar, Yan Yun's eyes widened.

Wasn't he a Wind Spirit Root? How did he have a Thunder Spirit Root?

Could it be that he had a special constitution, possessing both Wind and Thunder Spirit Roots?

But why didn't it show up during the test today?

Although he had many doubts, the most important thing now was cultivation.

He was already eleven years old, without Han Li's green bottle or Yan Ruyan's strong background.

He could only rely on the daily settlement system and cultivate diligently.

Time flowed, and five days later.

Yan Yun, who was immersed in cultivation, was forced to interrupt his practice.

The Yan Family head had found a transmission elder to teach Yan Ruyan, and he would also teach Yan Yun.

In the Yan Family head's view, cultivating an orphan like Yan Yun was the simplest.

With a little investment of resources, he could gain his loyalty.

Moreover, this was a Unique Spirit Root. With proper cultivation, even if he couldn't break through to the Core Formation stage, achieving the Foundation Establishment stage was almost certain.

And with the powerful combat abilities of a Unique Spirit Root, he would surely become Yan Ruyan's right-hand man in the future.

Led by a maid, Yan Yun arrived at a garden with dense spiritual energy.

Yan Ruyan, dressed in a pink robe, was drenched in sweat.
