Eternal Life as False Emperor
Chapter 283 - 248: Celestial Spirit Root
Cui Xiabing, Zhuang Yuheng, Yue Chan, Dongyun Jie, and Dongyun Yu acted simultaneously, their speed incredibly fast.
In less than three breaths, the testing was completed.
Their mothers, at this moment, also had their eyes wide open, gazing at their children.
Even Zhuu Wanwan, Lin Qing'er, and Rong Miao'er, the three female knights from the Martial World.
Years of court life had long washed away the Jianghu aura from them.
Previously, the three women often competed with each other in private, fantasizing about conquering Your Majesty with their own abilities.
However, as time passed, more beauties joined the harem, and Your Majesty's strength grew ever more powerful, the three women gave up their ambitions and settled into peaceful lives.
Only occasionally, in the presence of Qin Qingxuan, could they show off a bit.
After the testing was completed, the expressions on the five people's faces varied.
Cui Xiabing was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, Princess Guanghan does not have a Spirit Root."
Zheng Yi silently nodded, and within the harem, Miao Yuesheng, in her moon-white palace attire with her charming little face increasingly round, collapsed powerlessly onto the bench.
As the daughter of Miaoo Xiu, the Commander-in-Chief, she was very aware that without a Spirit Root, her daughter would only be an ordinary princess, unable to be favored by Your Majesty.
Her life would simply drift with the tide.
Suddenly, her mood turned somewhat gloomy and sorrowful.
Next was Zhuang Yuheng, who first glanced in the direction of Princess Consort Wan, Zhuu Wanwan, and nodded gently.
Zhuu Wanwan's expression shifted, and she instinctively sat up straight. Could it be...
"Congratulations Your Majesty, congratulations Your Majesty, the Princess Xiuyuan born to Princess Consort Wan has a Spirit Root!"
"What?!"
Everyone present exclaimed in surprise, instinctively looking towards Princess Xiuyuan, who stood timidly beside Zhuang Yuheng.
Seventh Princess, Zheng Yuyuan.
Just like her mother, she had a pair of enchanting peach blossom eyes and was very endearing from a young age.
Whether it was the Third Princess Zheng Yuhuan or the Eldest Princess Zheng Yuyao, they both loved to play with her.
The other sisters were the same.
At this moment, she wore a small pink princess dress, with a crimson floral mark on her forehead, her peach blossom eyes full of excitement, eagerly staring at Zheng Yi.
Spirit Root?
What is that?
No matter, Father is so happy, and Mother must be pleased too.
"Yuan'er!"
Zhuu Wanwan stood up excitedly, her expression full of joy.
And Zheng Yi also nodded at this moment and said, "Yuan'er, come here to Father."
"Father!"
Zheng Yuyuan obediently ran over, cautiously glancing at Zheng Yuhuan.
Zheng Yuhuan also moved aside with a smiling face, letting Zheng Yuyuan come to Zheng Yi's side.
Touching her cute little face, Zheng Yi praised, "Well done, Yuan'er, you must strive for cultivation alongside Sister Huan in the future."
Zheng Yuyuan nodded half-understandingly: "Yes, Father, Yuan'er will definitely work hard."
"Good, continue."
Lin Qing'er and Rong Miao'er both instinctively looked towards Yue Chan and Dongyun Jie.
Since Senior Sister's daughter has a Spirit Root, what about their daughters...
Yue Chan was the first to speak: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the Eighth Princess Lingbo does not have a Spirit Root."
"Sigh..."
Lin Qing'er collapsed onto the chair with eyes full of helplessness.
My daughter, no Spirit Root.
Beside her, Rong Miao'er quickly grabbed her hand: "Senior Sister, don't lose heart..."
"I..."
Dongyun Jie also stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the Ninth Princess Suzhen also lacks a Spirit Root."
The two women exchanged a bitter smile, reluctantly shaking their heads.
Soon after, they looked at Princess Consort Wan, Zhuu Wanwan, with eyes full of envy.
Zheng Yi also nodded, not very surprised by this situation.
After all, with odds of thousands to one, even his children couldn't all be exceptions.
At this moment, Dongyun Yu cheerfully stepped forward:
"Congratulations Your Majesty, congratulations Your Majesty, Sister Cui's Tenth Princess, Princess Lingxiao, indeed has a Spirit Root~!"
The Tenth Princess, Princess Lingxiao!
Dozens of pairs of eyes once again looked towards Zheng Yuxiao, filled with envy, jealousy, and some indescribable emotions.
Cui Xiabing let out a deep breath, relieved that her daughter had a Spirit Root.
Otherwise, she truly wouldn't know how to deal with it.
If her daughter didn't have a Spirit Root, decades later, the sorrow of a gray-haired person bidding farewell to a black-haired one was inevitable.
"The Seventh Princess and Tenth Princess both actually have a Spirit Root!"
"The Tenth Princess is understandable; after all, Noble Consort Cui is a cultivator, but the Seventh Princess's mother, Princess Consort Wan..."
"Shh, quiet! From now on, Princess Consort Wan's status will be different..."
The surrounding people whispered, but none of it escaped Zheng Yi's hearing.
Still, he didn't mind. Among his ten daughters, four possessed Spirit Roots, a forty percent probability.
Such odds, even among Cultivation Clans, would be considered miraculous; the probability is remarkably high!
Eldest Princess Zheng Yuyao, Third Princess Zheng Yuhuan, Seventh Princess Zheng Yuyuan, Tenth Princess Zheng Yuxiao!
Four princesses possessing Spirit Roots, this matter reverberated significantly throughout the entire Great Yu Court.
Zheng Yi immediately ordered that all the children possessing Spirit Roots from this Spirit Testing Ceremony be gathered together.
Four males: Shi Xiaofeng, Xu Fengxiong, Tong Tao, Zheng Chengwen.
Three females: Lu Qing'er, Xia Houling, Dai Shu.
And a month ago, Aunt Mei, Chen Hai, and Wang Anshi joined the count, for a total of fourteen possessing Spirit Roots from this ceremony.
Unfortunately, Wang Anshi refused to cultivate, ultimately leaving only thirteen.
Xu Fengxiong and others stepped forward one by one, kneeling down.
Zheng Yi said, "Ye who possess Spirit Roots, it is a gift from heaven and a blessing for our Great Yu."
"Three days hence, bid farewell to your family and come to Yuelong Palace to receive orders, to seek the Great Path together!"
"We obey the decree!"
Yuelong Palace, created by Zheng Yi beneath Celestial Longevity Mountain outside the Capital City, was a special palace.
The palace is located at the edge of the Profound Origin Spirit Gathering Array's core, abundant in Spiritual Qi, which is very favorable for cultivation.
As for the mentors, naturally, it would be Tianxingzi and Xuan Jizi.
Tianxingzi had already begun wholeheartedly assisting Zheng Yi and the Great Yu Dynasty, while Xuan Jizi adhered to her bet with Zheng Yi to become a teaching mentor.
"Noble Consort Cui."
"I am here, Your Majesty."
"Examine their Spirit Root attributes and have them all registered."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Once more, the women took action, sending Spirit Testing Talismans flying to land on the thirteen individuals.
Chen Hai and others had determined their possession of Spirit Roots a month prior, but Zheng Yi had yet to determine their attributes on that day.
Today's examination was aimed at gathering them together, akin to opening blind boxes.
The chance of obtaining a good item from a single opening is, of course, less thrilling than when there are a dozen.
This is the difference between a single draw and a tenfold draw.
Gazing at the ten or more beams of light, Zheng Yi pondered silently, "With a tenfold draw, I must get an SSR!"
"SSR, SSR..."
He murmured to himself as he fixed his gaze intently on the Central Square.
And at that moment, a golden light suddenly burst forth from the Spirit Testing Talisman atop one person's head.
Then, Cui Xiabing's voice rose with excitement.
"Celestial Spirit Root!!!"
