Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster - Chapter 2789 - 1032:

…

Six years later.

Bailu Marsh, Zhou Family.

On this day, the crowd was bustling, with flags fluttering.

After another six years of recuperation, the Zhou Family’s vitality grew more magnificent.

In six years, more clan members achieved Foundation Establishment, even a Golden Core Cultivator appeared.

This development is a remarkable feat not just around Bailu Marsh, but across the Tian Nan Continent.

A while ago, the Zhou Family had just produced two new Golden Core cultivators, thanks to the direct guidance of their ancestor.

This time, Zhou Haiye achieved the Golden Core period through his own independent cultivation.

Moreover, he’s a third-generation clan member, not one of the well-established second-generation ones.

Many say Bailu Marsh is a Blessed Land and will be the Zhou Family’s future Dragon Raising Land, comparable to their former clan base, Coral Sea.

However, today’s excitement isn’t due to Zhou Haiye’s achievement, but because it’s time for the annual Spirit Root Testing of clan members.

Normally, testing Spirit Roots doesn’t require a special day.

Once the children reach the right age, the elder can test them.

But this time, the situation is somewhat special.

It’s because thirteen years ago, the ancestor issued a command encouraging clan members to have children, from Foundation Establishment True Cultivators to mortals without Spirit Roots, everyone was urged to have children.

As a result, twelve years ago, the Zhou Family welcomed a large number of children.

The thirty children on the clan’s regular training grounds are only part of them; in Coral Town, where mortals reside, there are dozens more.

Today, they are all conveniently arranged together for testing.

Moreover, it’s said that even the allied Qingtong Lin Family and Cold River Valley Yin Family will send strong members to observe, to see the quality of the Zhou Family’s next generation.

So the Zhou Family is grandly organizing the Spirit Testing Ceremony.

Choosing an appropriate day, selecting a spacious area, arranging the corresponding arrays and magic items, even the seats for the guests are specially arranged.

Inside Green Water Pavilion.

Two figures walked out, followed by an elderly granny with white hair waving shakily.

“Young master, young lady, come back later, okay!”

Graceful and slender, Zhou Qingyu smiled and said, “Granny, others always wish for their kids to come home early, why do you want us to return late?”

The young man beside her calmly replied, “Because only those who test positive for Spirit Root will stay with the clan. Those without are promptly sent home. Granny hopes we return late, naturally wishing we have Spirit Roots.”

“Hmph, I know that already, brother!” Zhou Qingyu scrunched her little nose and said.

The one she called ’brother’ was Zhou Fuqiu.

Zhou Fuqiu, now twelve, though still thin, was about 1.7 meters tall, nearly resembling an adult. His sister Zhou Qingyu stood beside him, a full head shorter.

Especially with his fair face, exceptionally handsome, evoking a sense of “beauty.”

The yin and gentle aura further enhanced this sense of beauty.

He calmly observed the young girl before him, without smiling, but the corners of his mouth slightly curved upwards.

In six years, after nourishing with many herbs, his sister finally wasn’t so frail.

Coupled with regular training, her weak constitution significantly improved.

Compared to ordinary people, one can hardly see any trace of his sister’s childhood frailness.

“Mao Mao, let’s go! We must arrive at the Spirit Testing Ceremony before the dignitaries arrive to avoid disrespect.”

“Alright, I understand. Also, brother, you’re not allowed to call me Mao Mao anymore.”

“Okay, Mao Mao.”

“Ah, bad brother, this nickname sounds terrible. People even call us caterpillar siblings, you can’t use it anymore.”

“Who said that?” The young man’s voice turned colder.

“Don’t be angry, they were just joking, and Zhou Yu Hao helped me teach them a lesson, so don’t worry.”

Under the morning light, the two figures calmly headed towards the Spirit Testing Ceremony venue.

Along the way, silver bell-like laughter occasionally echoed.
