"Today's math class ends here. Tomorrow is the day when the Immortal Sect will come to our town to test the spiritual roots. The teacher hopes that all of you will have spiritual roots."

...

In a simple classroom, a middle-aged man who appears to be in his forties or fifties is teaching a group of five or six-year-old children.

This man who looks like a middle-aged man is called Li Xiaojun and is 25 years old this year.

Twenty-five years ago, Li Xiaojun crossed over to this world and became a baby, awakening the Tadpole Strengthening System.

The Strengthening System sounds impressive, but it's actually useless.

It consumes 10 years of lifespan to strengthen a small tadpole.

As a transmigrator, Li Xiaojun thought he would be the protagonist and have all sorts of incredible abilities.

However, when he was six years old, he encountered the biggest setback in his life: the Immortal Sect test. He didn't have the spiritual roots for cultivation.

In the world of cultivation, not having spiritual roots means that he can only be an ordinary person for the rest of his life.

Although he has a system, the system is too useless.

In this situation, Li Xiaojun gave up. He chose to be an ordinary and mediocre person.

He went to school at six, took the child scholar examination at sixteen, got married at eighteen, and had a daughter at nineteen.

At the age of twenty, he passed the county-level examination, but then failed the imperial examination twice.

At the age of twenty-one, his wife gave birth to another daughter.

These two daughters consumed twenty years of his lifespan.

When he was twenty-four, his weak and sickly wife passed away, which was a great blow to him.

At twenty-five, he gave up on the imperial examination, transformed a room in his home into a classroom, and became a private tutor.

Previously, Li Xiaojun thought that as a transmigrator, it should be easy for him to pass the imperial examination. However, reality slapped him hard in the face.

Now, he has chosen to lie low. He plans to raise his two daughters and live a plain life.

"Daddy, Daddy, I'm hungry."

Just after school, when all the students had left, the little daughter called out that she was hungry.

"Feifei, Daddy will cook for you right away!"

Upon hearing the call from the little cotton-padded jacket, Li Xiaojun's face showed a warm smile.

"Daddy, I'll help you with the fire."

At this moment, the elder daughter came forward with a sweet smile to help.

"Tingting is such a good girl." Li Xiaojun smiled and patted the head of his elder daughter.

Li Xiaojun's two daughters are Li Yuting, the elder daughter, who is six years old this year, and Li Yufei, the younger daughter, who is four years old this year.

Both daughters have been very intelligent since they were young, especially Li Yuting. At the age of two, she started reading and recognizing characters with Li Xiaojun. By the age of six, she had completed the knowledge of six years of elementary school on Earth, and she had even finished studying middle school-level mathematics.

Truly worthy of being children born after Li Xiaojun used ten years of lifespan to strengthen a small tadpole.

Although the younger daughter cannot compare to her older sister, she also started reading and recognizing characters at the age of two and has just finished fourth grade of elementary school.

...

The next day, the entire Red River Town was decorated with lanterns and decorations.

Today is not a festival, but rather the day when the Immortal Sect tests the spiritual roots and accepts disciples.

Every year on the 6th of June, the Immortal Sect sends people to various towns to test the spiritual roots of six-year-old children and accept those with spiritual roots as disciples.

On this day, Red River Town is always decorated with lanterns and decorations, waiting for the arrival of the Immortal Masters.

This year is no exception. Red River Town started preparing two days in advance.

Because today is the day for testing spiritual roots, Li Xiaojun gave all his students the day off.

Early in the morning, Li Xiaojun woke up and started cooking while his two daughters were still asleep.

After preparing the meals, he called his daughters to eat, helped the younger daughter get dressed, and so on.

After a busy morning, the family finally finished breakfast.

Li Yuting, the elder daughter, is already six years old this year, so she will participate in this year's spiritual root test.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Li Xiaojun dressed both of his daughters in beautiful dresses, carried the younger daughter on his back, and held the hand of the elder daughter as they arrived at the town center square.

"Mr. Li."

"Hello, Mr. Li."

At this moment, many children and their parents had already arrived at the town center square.

In addition, there were many onlookers.

Li Xiaojun is a scholar and a teacher in the town, so when he arrived at the square, many people warmly greeted him.

"The immortal master has arrived."

At ten o'clock in the morning, accompanied by a streak of light, something resembling a flying boat landed in the center square of Red River Town.

On the flying boat stood several young men and women who appeared to be in their twenties, as well as some children aged five or six.

These children should be the ones with spiritual roots that the immortal masters have collected from elsewhere.

"Children of the appropriate age, come forward for the spiritual root examination. Hurry up, we still need to rush to the next place after the examination."

A young man quickly jumped off the flying boat and gave instructions to everyone.

Everyone was familiar with the process of the spiritual root examination, as they would go through this ceremony every year.

Red River Town had already organized everything, and the children who needed to be tested for their spiritual roots were already in line. As soon as the immortal masters arrived, the examination could begin.

After the young man jumped off the flying boat, the examination quickly began.

The crystal ball used to test talent was the size of a basketball.

The children only needed to place their hands on the crystal ball, and then the immortal masters would cast a spell to determine what talent the children possessed.

"You don't have a spiritual root! Next!"

"You also don't have a spiritual root!"

"You also don't have..."

Today, there were over a hundred children from Red River Town participating in the spiritual root examination.

One after another, the children placed their hands on the crystal ball, only to be met with the cold words of the immortal masters.

Some children burst into tears upon hearing that they didn't have a spiritual root.

However, they were quickly silenced and carried away by their parents, afraid of causing displeasure to the immortal masters.

The speed of the spiritual root examination was very fast, and soon, the examination of dozens of children was completed.

Several dozen children were tested in a row, and none of them had a spiritual root, which made many people's faces turn unpleasant.

It wasn't until the 56th child that the crystal ball used for testing spiritual roots finally emitted a faint yellow light.

"Earth-type Inferior Spirit Root, come over here."

Seeing that a spiritual root had finally been detected, the expression of the immortal master also eased a bit.

It was a little boy who heard that he had a spiritual root, and he immediately smiled widely.

His parents were also filled with joy.

"Next."

After pulling the little boy to stand behind him, the immortal master continued to test the next child.

"No spiritual root, next..."

"Still no spiritual root, next!"

"Next..."

"Next..."

The examination continued, and in the blink of an eye, over ninety children were tested.

Except for the child with the Earth-type Inferior Spirit Root, none of the other children had a spiritual root.

In this situation, the parents of the children who were not detected with a spiritual root were all disappointed.

The parents of the children who were yet to be tested for their spiritual roots were extremely anxious.

Among these anxious parents was Li Xiaojun!

As time passed, it was soon Li Xiaojun's daughter, Li Yuting's turn to be tested for her spiritual root, causing Li Xiaojun's heart to race.

"Next."

With the call of the immortal master, it was finally Li Xiaojun's daughter, Li Yuting's turn to be tested.

Li Yuting, feeling a bit nervous, approached the immortal master and obediently placed her hand on the crystal ball, just like the previous children.

The immortal master cast a spell into the crystal ball.

In the next moment, the crystal ball emitted a green light.

At first, the green light was faint, but soon it grew brighter and brighter. After a few seconds, the green light had become extremely dazzling.

Seeing this, the onlookers around were already stunned.

The immortal master conducting the talent examination showed a look of surprise.

The other immortal masters on the flying boat also showed expressions of surprise when they saw this.

In the next moment, several immortal masters jumped off the flying boat simultaneously.

"Extraordinary Wood Spirit Root, excellent!"
