Chapter 373: Chapter 373: Spirit Root!

"Fellow Daoist, what brings you here?"

Two Foundation Establishment cultivators stopped Lu Chen, yet they spoke with extreme politeness.

Just before, Lu Chen had also seen several cultivators dressed in completely different uniforms entering the place.

He did not rashly enter, naturally observing for a moment.

Every person was stopped and questioned, but there were no conflicts.

Lu Chen smiled and said, "I wish to learn the Art of Refinement, so..."

"So, fellow Daoist wishes to join our sect?"

One cultivator sized up Lu Chen and said, "Then, do you possess a Fire Spiritual Root?"

Spiritual Root?

Lu Chen had heard of this term more than once and knew that the Spirit Root was key to cultivating immortality, but he had never actually learned about his own Spirit Root.

His heart suddenly sank because he did not know whether he had one.

In fact, to join the Casting Gear Pavilion, he only needed to show his Spiritual Fire.

But at this moment, he saw the Pavilion had many visitors, including cultivators coming and going.

He even saw some Golden Core cultivators!

As a Loose Cultivator, not to mention being coveted by those cultivators, there was even a greater possibility that after joining the sect, he might be schemed against!

When he decided to join the Casting Gear Pavilion, Lu Chen had no intention of revealing his Spiritual Fire, using it only covertly while refining artifacts.

Yet, who knew that he would encounter such a problem.

Lu Chen certainly couldn’t admit that he lacked a Fire Spiritual Root, so after a quick thought, he said, "Fellow Daoist, as a Loose Cultivator, I unwittingly consumed a Spiritual Medicine and embarked on the Immortal Path, hence I do not know whether I have a Fire Spiritual Root or not! May I know what are the characteristics of a Fire Spiritual Root?"

While Lu Chen lingered there for a moment, many cultivators nearby took notice.

Seeing that he was unclear about his own Spirit Root, mocking laughter followed.

"Can someone like this even cultivate immortality?"

"I’m laughing to death, such a waste of Spiritual Medicine on him!"

"Indeed, doesn’t he think to inquire about his Spirit Root?"

"Not the least bit of brains, if not for Casting Gear Pavilion being different from other sects, with your kind of talk, I’m afraid you’d have been driven out long ago!"

"Lacking even the basic knowledge of cultivation, fellow Daoist, why don’t you go back and raise pigs instead!"

Lu Chen ignored these voices as if he hadn’t heard them; no matter what they said, it wouldn’t affect him in the slightest.

"A Fire Spiritual Root is particularly sensitive to fire element Spiritual Power," another Foundation Establishment cultivator was patient enough to explain to Lu Chen, "The primary requirement of our Casting Gear Pavilion disciples is to possess a Fire Spiritual Root! Besides not accepting disciples with Five Elements Spiritual Power, having four, three, two, or a single element—that is, as long as one has the Fire Spiritual Root, it’s acceptable!"

Lu Chen took note of this internally and listened as the cultivator continued.

"You harness your Spiritual Power for me to see, and I can tell whether or not you possess a Fire Spiritual Root."

Lu Chen had already guessed something, and with a concentrated heart, he transformed the Five Elements Spiritual Power into Fire Spiritual Power!

Just as he was about to condense it in his palm, he heard someone nearby mocking, "With this guy’s brain, Double or Triple Spiritual Roots are probably his limit! If he has a Dual Spiritual Root, I’ll wash my hair standing on my head!"

Lu Chen instantly understood the meaning of the so-called multiple Spirit Roots!

And moreover, he needed to conceal his abilities!

If he were to directly use this pure Fire Spiritual Power, he would certainly be recognized as having just a singular Fire Spiritual Root!

That would be too conspicuous!

With that thought, he quickly conjured both Metal and Earth Spiritual Power, mingling them together, and displayed them in his hand!

"Whoosh—"

The Spiritual Power suddenly manifested, and its formidable presence startled everyone, catching the attention of the two guards especially.

Simply because Lu Chen’s Spiritual Power far exceeded that of an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator!

"He has a Fire Spiritual Root, and it’s so pure! It’s a pity, though... it’s a Triple Spiritual Root!"

One Foundation Establishment cultivator whispered to his companion.

"Nevertheless, it’s sufficient. We should quickly inform the steward!"

The other Foundation Establishment cultivator also showed a hint of regret; they were both disciples with a Fire Spiritual Root, otherwise, they would not be staying at the Casting Gear Pavilion.

At the same time, they could sense that the fire element within Lu Chen’s Spiritual Power was even purer and richer than theirs.

He was a promising talent for Artifact Refining!

Amidst the astonishment of the ordinary cultivators, a Golden Core Cultivator came, floating in the air, his gaze landing on Lu Chen.

"A Triple Spiritual Root, eh?"

This Golden Core Cultivator extended his Spiritual Sense, instantly enveloping Lu Chen.

But the next moment...

His face suddenly changed, turning an ashen hue, "This is a Five Elements Spiritual Power waste, who among you wished to deceive this steward?"

A pressure bore down, simultaneously suppressing both the Foundation Establishment disciples and Lu Chen on the spot!
