âAnd who are you?â
âI am the minister of the Fire Country.â
âWhy are you still wearing the Fire Countryâs dragon robe?â âHeâs also the regent!â Chen Wushuang replied softly.
The corners of He Qinggeâs mouth curled up. Interesting.
âI wonder why youâve come this time, Exalted Immortals?â Chen Wushuang asked cautiously.â
âThe Fire Countryâs tax revenue this year didnât reach the standard. Why?â
Zheng Xiaoling asked coldly.â
All the forces under the rule of Tian Xuan Sect had to pay the full amount of taxes to Tian Xuan Sect.
The main purpose of their visit this time was to investigate the tax problem of the Fire Country.
Would immortal cultivators still need the resources of mortals?
Regardless of whether it was needed or not, the amount that should be paid must not be less.
Chen Wushuangâs forehead broke out in cold sweat.â Exalted Immortal, itâs not that we didnât want to hand it over on purpose. Thereâs a reason for this. âââ
âThere are rebels everywhere and natural and man-made disasters that have caused this yearâs taxes to be unable to be handed in on time.â
âThereâs really no way to pay so much. There was an accident this year, and a portion of the supplies were stolen. â
âThis matter is currently under arrest.â
âWho did this?â Zheng Xiaoling frowned.â
âWe havenât found out yet,â Chen Wushuang said awkwardly.â
At this moment, the spirit ship floating in the sky above the Imperial Palace attracted the attention of everyone in the Imperial City.
âIn other words, youâre the one in charge of the entire Fire Country, right?âHe
Qingge smiled.
âYes, Exalted Immortal.â Chen Wushuang replied nervously.
Zheng Xiaoling: â Where were the supplies looted? What kind of clues were left
behind? Whatâs the progress of the investigation?ââ
Chen Wushuangâs expression was solemn.â The supplies were robbed on the way to the Heavenly Xuan Sect. They were robbed when they left Thunder Fire Town. We are stepping up our investigation. âââ
He Qingge narrowed his eyes. The loot this time was fire elemental stones, which could be used to forge fire-attribute magic tools.
The Fire Nation was named the Fire Nation because of the Fire Elemental Stone.
Every year, the Heavenly Profound Sect would set a quota for them to excavate and deliver.
However, something went wrong this year. This was also their main purpose for coming here.
Find out where this batch of fire elemental stones went? What kind of problem had occurred?
There was actually someone who dared to plunder the resources of the Tian Xuan Sect.
Zheng Xiaoling asked many more questions.
Chen Wushuang also slowly calmed down.â Exalted Immortals, youâve traveled a long way. Iâll now order people to prepare a banquet. I sincerely request that
Exalted Immortal give me face.âââ
âLead the way!â Zheng Xiaoling was arrogant.
As soon as he arrived, He Qingge used the Listening System to monitor the entire palace.
The Prince Regent had dominated the entire palace, and he was no different from an emperor.
He Qingge suddenly turned around. A girl hiding behind a stone pillar in the distance, quietly observing them, was so frightened that she sat on the ground. She curled up and covered her mouth, afraid that she would be discovered.
He Qingge didnât look at her too much. She was just a little girl.
âWhy isnât there a new emperor?â he asked curiously.â
Chen Wushuang was helpless.â The late emperor died suddenly. The remaining princes and princesses are too young to inherit the throne.â
âI can only temporarily shoulder the responsibility entrusted to me by the previous emperor and barely manage to protect this country.â
Soon, they were led to the magnificent palace, and the palace dishes were slowly served.
Chen Wushuang did not dare to sit on the highest seat. He stood up and smiled.
Su Zimei commented, âThe taste is not bad. Unfortunately, itâs still a little lacking.âââ
These delicacies were still inferior to He Qinggeâs cooking.
Chen Wushuang smiled apologetically.â
He Qingge smiled.â You really know how to talk. When we were on the spaceship, I saw a crowd below. It seemed like they were selecting something.
What were they doing?â
âItâs used to select experts from the mortal world of martial artists to investigate material cases. âChen Wushuang replied immediately.
âA martial arts expert.â He Qingge said softly.
He also had a martial arts secret art, the Nine Dragons Air Manipulation Art, which could absorb dragon energy to strengthen his body.
He Qingge had already left the level of low-level martial arts. He Qingge vaguely felt that martial arts was not so shallow.
âInteresting. I want to go and meet him when we start.â
âAs long as Exalted Immortal likes it, you can do it anytime.â
He Qingge nodded in satisfaction and said, ââWhere are the princes and princesses?â
âThe princes and princesses are still too young. Their minds are still young, and they are afraid that they will offend the immortals.â
Zheng Xiaoling: â Itâs fine. Itâs not easy for me to come here. I have to meet him.â
âIâll send someone to invite them immediately.ââ
Soon, two young children appeared in front of them.
One of the boys was slightly taller, and his eyes were filled with fear. His hands were tightly clenched into fists as he pinched his sleeves.
One of the girls was the doll who had been peeking at He Qingge and the others from behind the stone pillar.
His eyes were also flashing with worry and fear.
The two of them were about five or six years old.
âHave you tested your spiritual roots? Howâs your cultivation talent?â Zheng
Xiaoling asked.â
Chen Wushuang: â We havenât tested them yet. Theyâre not even six years old yet. We canât detect them. We plan to test them when theyâre six years old.â
âI see! Then Iâll give them a test!âAs Zheng Xiaoling spoke, a transparent and dazzling crystal floated in her hand.
âAlright, you two put your hands on it.â
The two children looked at each other and then at Chen Wushuang.
Chen Wushuangâs eyelids twitched.â
The two siblings were silent. They walked toward the crystal in small steps and placed their hands on it.
âCrippled spirit root.â He Qingge said softly.
Extreme events were rare.
The moment the prince held the crystal in his hand, the flickering light showed that the purity of his spirit root was zero. It was a completely useless spirit root.
Chen Wushuang heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. Fortunately, he had a crippled spirit root.
Soon, another burst of light flashed across the entire palace. The princess had a Heaven Spiritual Root with a purity of 100.
Pure wasted spirit roots and heaven spirit roots appeared at the same time, and they also appeared on the siblings.
Such a rare chance might not be seen even in thousands of years.
âHeaven Spiritual Root.â
He Qingge, Su Zimei, and Zheng Xiaoling were all shocked.
Were geniuses really worthless now?
Chen Wushuangâs heart trembled. He clenched his fists and then released them.
âAre you willing to follow me to Tian Xuan Sect to cultivate?âZheng Xiaoling instantly smiled.
The princess was a little timid and did not know if she should agree.
âSince you donât want to answer, Iâll take it that youâve agreed. âHe Qingge said.
The Heaven Spiritual Root definitely could not be left outside to grow on its own. If it was taken away by the people of the Demon Sect, wouldnât it be an enemy with unparalleled potential?
âNo, I want to be with my brother. âThe princess looked at their expressions and her eyes turned.
Su Zimei frowned. Her eyes were empty, as if she had fallen into some kind of memory.
âHe has a crippled spirit root. Itâs not suitable for him to enter the sect.âZheng Xiaoling said.
Since the establishment of the Tian Xuan Sect, no one with crippled spiritual
roots had ever entered..
