Chapter 38: Parasitic Item (1/2)

”This… this is an Immortal Opportunity Stone?”

The Immortal Opportunity Stone could be said to be something that had changed their lives. Even after several months, everyone still remembered this type of crystal that was not that beautiful.

”Yes, this is an Immortal Opportunity Stone.”

This was precisely the Immortal Opportunity Stone that Jiang Li had asked Yan Hong to buy from the Immortal Ascension Pavilion. When he went out on the mission, he felt that it might be useful, so he took it out with him.

”The Skill Imparting Elder once said that for those with spiritual roots, even if they did not embark on the path of cultivation, their bodies would automatically absorb the spiritual qi of Heaven and Earth, and they would also have stronger bodies and longer lives than ordinary people.”

”That's why I suspected that this young man has a spiritual root.”

Jiang Li found a reason to express his guess. However, in reality, those with spiritual roots and latent talent were slightly better than ordinary people, but it was rather limited. His theory was actually rather far-fetched.

Jiang Li had such suspicions and even took out the Immortal Opportunity Stone to verify it. The most important reason was that his 'Zombie Puppet Technique' had been expelled!

Before the youth was injured by Zheng Yuan, the ”seed” planted in his body was expelled from his body by a certain force.

If he had been able to resist Jiang Li's spell technique, it could be said that his willpower and talent were exceptional. However, to be able to achieve such a feat by himself was definitely not something a mortal could do.

Jiang Li guessed that there was indeed something in the children's bodies.

Those things were lodged in the bodies of these children, causing them to fall asleep. However, they could protect their lives when they were heavily injured and expel foreign objects when they were invaded. They could even bestow a host with a spiritual root!

”However, even if he has a spiritual root, this doesn't mean anything. Perhaps he didn't participate in the spiritual root test and was overlooked by the people from the Immortal Ascension Pavilion.”

”The outer sect mission requires us to treat them and solve the problem of the Southern Seal Kingdom. If not, we will find out the reason and return.”

”But what does an unconscious child have to do with our mission?”

They were still very confused as to why Jiang Li was saying all this.

”What if I say that the 2,000 youths in the square outside all have spiritual roots!”

Jiang Li's words were shocking without doubt.

”More than two thousand people? Do all of them have spiritual roots? That's impossible!”

Yu Banxia and the rest subconsciously denied Jiang Li's guess.

Even if spiritual root aptitude was not one in ten thousand, it was basically only one in a thousand people.

In the Great Mountain Region, there were hundreds of kingdoms, and each time the Immortal Ascension Assembly selected a soon-to-be disciple, they were less than 1-in-10,000.

The Southern Seal Kingdom was only a small country and they were in the capital. There were not many children between eight to fourteen years old.

If what Jiang Li said was true, then the ratio of children with spiritual roots and latent talent would far surpass 1-in-10. Then the Southern Seal Kingdom would truly become the land blessed by heaven.

If this was true, then the coma was no longer the issue.

”I can't believe it either. However, the world is huge, and there are all kinds of strange things. We should test a few more children first, and everything will be clear.”

The reason why Jiang Li dared to say this was naturally because he had already tried it before.

After the monk left, he immediately used the Immortal Opportunity Stone to test dozens of children. All of them had positive reactions.

Spiritual roots were not radishes that could be found all over the streets. It was impossible for such a large number of spiritual roots to appear at the same time without any external influence.

He took back the Immortal Opportunity Stone and went to another room with everyone. There were many unconscious children lying inside.

They waved for the palace maids and nannies who were feeding the children to leave.

In order to avoid arousing suspicion, Jiang Li handed the Immortal Opportunity Stone to Lu Qianqian and asked her to test them one by one.

They blew out the lights, and the faint fog-like fluorescent light lit up the dim room.
