Chapter 19: Intermediate Spiritual Roots
Ran Zhi was greeting other guests at the moment. When he saw Fang Yun enter the courtyard, he immediately walked up to him with a smile.
"Brother Fang is here. Why are you still so polite? What gifts are you bringing? Hahaha!"
"I haven't congratulated Brother Ran on his baby yet. This is just a small token of my respect."
Fang Yun bowed and quickly handed over the wooden horse and spirit fish. Ran Zhi looked at the exquisitely crafted wooden horse toy in front of him, smiled knowingly, and took Fang Yun into the banquet.
Most of those who came here were Ran Zhi's acquaintances, such as Wang Ming and Widow Li. Fang Yun was more familiar with them, but most of them were neighbors who had only met a few times, and their cultivation was not high.
But the next moment, a man with a strong aura came out from the inner room. His cultivation was only the fifth level of Qi Refining, but he was muscular and tall, obviously a physical cultivator.
But he didn't seem to be from Donghu Island.
The man was followed by several mortals, who were surrounding Ran Zhi's wife at this time. They seemed to be Ran Dasao's family members.
Fang Yun sat on the arranged chair, not caring, and drank the wine silently.
He only went over to say hello when he met acquaintances like Wang Ming.
About an hour later, almost all the people came, and no one else came in and out of the formation.
Ran Zhi smiled and walked slowly into the yard, saying loudly: "Welcome everyone to come in and attend the full moon banquet of my son. Everyone present is my family's relatives and friends, so there is no need to say anything polite. I invited you here today to eat and drink well."
"Serve the dishes, and start the banquet!"
There were more than a dozen single tables and chairs in the yard, and all the people sitting there were cultivator friends like Fang Yun. Outside the yard was a buffet with eight people per table. There were mortals inside, and there were also several cultivators whose cultivation was only at the first level of Qi Refining, and Fang Yun didn't know them.
After Ran Zhi finished talking about the feast, several children carried plates and began to set up the banquet.
All of them were spiritual melons, vegetarian fruits, spiritual vegetables and delicacies. The main dish on each table was a fish dragon soup made from two green carps, a portion of spiritual rice, and a bottle of spiritual wine that was as sweet as honey.
Looking at the table full of delicacies, everyone swallowed their saliva, and then Ran Zhi raised his glass and invited: "Everyone, drink together."
"Congratulations, Brother Ran, on the birth of your precious son!"
Ran Zhi is worthy of the skills of a spiritual plant husband. The spiritual fruits he took care of were juicy and sweet, plump, and full of spiritual energy.
The spiritual wine was as sweet as honey and soft in the mouth. Once it entered the stomach, it immediately turned into a source of water, nourishing the mind and filling its magic power.
Seeing the Qi-refining monks eating the spiritual fruits and drinking the spiritual wine, they were silent and tried their best to digest it.
Fang Yun was no exception. With an iron stomach, his mana was rising again. However, breaking through in front of others was really eye-catching, so he tried his best to suppress it.
Helplessly, he was only one step away from breaking through the fifth level of Qi Refining. Today, with the help of these spiritual melons and spiritual wine, how could he suppress it?
Since he couldn't suppress it, Fang Yun's soul instantly escaped into the Immortal Mansion and escaped in an instant. In just this short moment, there were several half-mature spiritual heart grass in his mouth.
The ability of the Immortal Mansion space to take and store things is better than that of a storage bag. Taking out spiritual plants without anyone noticing and stuffing them into the mouth is also one of the wonderful uses he discovered after many studies.
With the understanding of the breakthrough, there is also the effect of the spiritual heart grass.
In one go, he entered the fifth level of Qi Refining, but Fang Yun did not stop. He turned to operate the breath-retaining technique to completely restrain his breath.
The proficiency of the breath-retaining technique increased a lot at once. His cultivation outside was still the fourth level of Qi Refining.
However, his behavior was still somewhat dangerous. In the eyes of cultivators with strong perception, his behavior was strange.
Whether it was the moment of daze when entering and exiting the space, or the changes in his cultivation level, it all seemed very strange.
"Fortunately, these are all low-level cultivators, and their talents are really hard to control. It seems that I have to pay attention to what I take in the future."
Fang Yun immediately thought that if he took some elixir to replenish spiritual energy when fighting with others, the iron stomach talent would enhance the effect all of a sudden, causing his cultivation level to rise and face a breakthrough. Wouldn't it be giving others a flaw out of thin air?
However, he also noticed that there was one person who could not hide the changes in himself, and that was Wang Ming.
Because his breath-retaining technique was taught by Wang Ming.
However, Wang Ming's eyes did not stay on him, but just ate and drank wine by himself.
"Dear relatives and friends, you have almost finished eating, please come and witness the spiritual awakening meeting I held for my son!"
"Hahaha, Brother Ran's son is very spiritual, he must be a unicorn child." A monk in the courtyard exclaimed loudly.
The spiritual awakening meeting is a custom that has been agreed upon. As the name suggests, monks test the spiritual roots of their children in public at the full moon banquet, and wish them good luck and hope for a bright future.
But this is generally a process. After all, whether your child has spiritual roots must have been tested at birth.
For example, if Ran Zhi's son did not have spiritual roots, he would not have mentioned this sentence at the full moon banquet, or he might not have held this full moon banquet.
If a monk gave birth to a mortal child, I am afraid he would not celebrate so loudly.
"Haha, thank you all for your good words."
Ran Zhi laughed, and a spiritual testing talisman was injected with magic power and pasted on his son's forehead.
After a while, bright golden and dark green colors emerged from the spirit-testing talisman, and the colors were thick.
"Oh, it turns out that he has two spiritual roots, gold and wood. And judging from the color of this spiritual talisman, he should have a middle-grade spiritual root. Congratulations, congratulations, Brother Ran."
"Congratulations, Brother Ran, you have a unicorn child."
Fang Yun also stood up and joined the congratulations.
"Hahaha, thank you all."
"Actually, I invited you all here this time, firstly to celebrate my son's full moon, and secondly because my son has found a good teacher. This time I am going to take my wife back to recognize my ancestors."
"Because I have settled in Donghu for five years, I have been deeply cared for by all the friends present. I will leave next month. This time, I came here specially to repay your friendship."
"I intend to hold a small trading meeting today, taking advantage of my son's banquet, to sell all the magic tools I can't use, the spiritual plants I can't take away, and some special things to you at a low price, and you can also take this opportunity to exchange what you have. What do you think?"
Wang Ming took the opportunity to come over. He seemed to be very familiar with the situation. He stood beside Fang Yun and talked freely: "Ran Xiaozi's wife "The son is from the Yue family. Yes, that's right, the Xiji Yue family."
"The three islands of Donghu, Xiji, and Nanwan are allied and confronted with each other, and the owner of Xiji Island is the Yue family. The Yue family is good at spiritual plant techniques. Ran Zhi somehow got the opportunity to marry a woman from the Yue family. Although she is just a mortal, she is indeed remarkable."
"Maybe this woman is a branch of the Yue family. I heard from Ran that his wife and the Yue family are not in harmony, so they have been settled on Donghu Island. But looking at their appearance this time, I am afraid that they will return to the Yue family with the spiritual root talent of their own children."
"Middle-grade spiritual roots! It's really rare!"
With such a talent, as long as it does not die halfway, it is almost inevitable to cultivate to the late stage of Qi Refining. If there is a certain opportunity, it is not impossible to reach the foundation building stage.
Ran Zhi returned to the Yue family with his wife and son. Even if it was only a side branch, it was also a foundation building family. At that time, the cultivation resources that his son could enjoy were far beyond what he, a lowly fish farmer, could give.
"But I remember that Brother Ran still has a work contract for half a year?" Fang Yun asked in confusion.
"It's just a work contract, not a slave contract. As long as you pay the spiritual stones for breach of contract, the Li family will not make it difficult with the Yue family standing behind you."
The three islands of Donghu, Xiji and Nanwan are all large islands radiating the entire inner bay of the Strait. Among them, Donghu has the best location. It is right in the center of the Strait Bay. It is easier to build a dock. It is rich in resources and the spiritual veins on the island are also the best.
Therefore, the Li family has the strongest power and has aroused jealousy.
The three families also have many conflicts, but no matter how much they conflict, they have not risen to the point of war.
This time, a genius with a middle-grade spiritual root was born on the island, and he was also a fish farmer of the Li family, but Ran Zhi had to return to the Yue family. Even if the Yue family is rich, I am afraid they will have to bleed a lot.
"Brother Ran is really lucky!"
Fang Yun sighed, and then laughed it off.
