Chapter 348: Spirit Testing

Just as Li Mufeng turned to leave, he suddenly heard a secret voice transmission from the Golden Feather Demon Emperor.

"Don't ask about what happened here, fellow Daoist Li. I can make you a promise. As long as your Xiaoyao Sect does not cross the demon clan territory at will, the contract between Jinyu Mountain and your Xiaoyao Sect can continue to remain unchanged."

Hearing this unexpected voice transmission, Li Mufeng's face changed slightly, and his brows, which had been a little worried, also relaxed a little. He bowed to the Golden Feather Demon Emperor with a calm face and turned into a white light and quickly disappeared into the sky.

After leaving Jinyu Mountain, Li Mufeng did not stay too long nearby and went directly back to Guiyunfang.

This time he was a step late. The Yuanying Thunder Tribulation of Jinyu Mountain had ended, and Li Mufeng did not find more useful information.

Since the colorful glow after the thunder tribulation has appeared on Jinyu Mountain, it proves that there is indeed a demon king who has broken through the Nascent Soul Realm there. Having reached this point, the opponent has either successfully passed the tribulation or been killed by the thunder in the last thunder tribulation and turned into ashes.

With Jinyu, the famous demon king who has been famous for many years, protecting him with all his strength, Li Mufeng can also think that the possibility of this demon king passing the tribulation successfully is still very high.

Thinking of the last promise made by Jinyu Demon King to him, although Li Mufeng did not doubt that the demon king would go back on his word, he was still a little worried. He called Lu Boyang, who had been to Jinyu Mountain before, and asked him carefully about what he saw on Jinyu Mountain that day.

"Uncle Li, the phoenix I saw that day was indeed a little strange. We have been dealing with Jinyu Mountain for so many years, and we have recorded the magical powers of those famous demon kings in detail in the sect's books. I have never seen such magical powers."

After Lu Boyang came back that day, in order to find out which demon king was undergoing the tribulation, he specially found the Xiaoyao Sect's books that recorded the nearby third-level and above demon beasts and checked them carefully.

"So, this demon king who is undergoing the tribulation may not be from the vicinity of Jinyu Mountain. Could it be that he is a demon king who has just come to Jinyu Mountain from other places?"

Lü Boyang pondered for a moment and said, "In my opinion, this is indeed possible. And judging from the scene of the tribulation that day, this demon king's magical power is very powerful, and he does not look like a demon king of ordinary blood."

"Well! That's it. You should recover here. As for what you saw in Jinyu Mountain, I just know it. Don't tell anyone else. Now that we are weaker, we should try not to take the initiative to provoke Jinyu Mountain." After hearing Lu Boyang's analysis, Li Mufeng nodded slightly, and then spoke to him with a serious face.

Although the origin of this demon king who is striving for the Nascent Soul Realm is still unknown, anyway, Li Mufeng got the promise of the Golden Feather Demon Emperor to extend the contract after returning from Jinyu Mountain, which can be regarded as an unexpected gain.

One of the important reasons why Weiguo has been able to develop stably and become a great country near the Floating Cloud Mountains for so many years is also because of the contract signed by the modern ancestor of Xiaoyao Sect and the Golden Feather Demon King over the past thousand years.

Compared with other demon kings near the human territory, although the Golden Feather Demon King likes to fight with cultivators of the same level, he rarely encourages his demon beasts to invade the human territory. Since signing the contract with Xiaoyao Sect, it has never shown up even during the demon beast riots that occur once every hundred years.

After carefully explaining a few words to Lv Boyang, Li Mufeng took the teleportation array to leave Guiyunfang.

Seeing that his master Li was so afraid of the matter of Jinyu Mountain, Lv Boyang also vaguely guessed in his heart that the demon king who was undergoing the tribulation in Jinyu Mountain this time was not simple. Fortunately, he had not mentioned this matter to others after he came back, and he only needed to keep his mouth shut in the future.

——

At the foot of Funiu Mountain, in Mujiao Town.

Two cultivators of the new generation of the Song family went down the mountain early in the morning and came to a large house in the center of the town.

The two mortal servants at the gate of the courtyard saw the two immortal masters coming, and hurriedly stepped forward, invited the two into the courtyard, and brought them to the side of a one-armed old man.

"Junior Xintong, Xingui greets Fourth Uncle!"

"No need to be polite, why did you two go down the mountain for this year's spiritual test ceremony? Did Xinrui and the others slack off again?" Song Qingrui smiled and walked quickly with the two of them.

Although Song Qingrui is not young, he is in good spirits. He has been staying at the foot of the mountain as a guard for many years. He has already started a family early. Now one of his grandsons has married not long ago, and it is estimated that he will have a great-grandson in his arms in some time.

"Fifth brother was sent by the eldest uncle to help harvest the spiritual field, so Fourteenth Aunt sent the two of us here. Fourth Uncle, are you ready?" Song Xintong replied shyly.

Song Qingrui continued with a smile: "Well! I have been ready yesterday, just waiting for you to come. I haven't had a spiritual root for several years. I hope you will have better luck this year."

"Fourth uncle, don't worry, with Xintong and I, we can definitely find a spiritual root for you. When you meet the clan leader, don't forget to say good things for us." Song Xingui smiled and replied.

"You are a sly guy, I know you are not the one who will suffer losses. If you can really find a fairy seedling for me this time, I promise you will never let you suffer losses."

As they were talking, several people came to a spacious courtyard. There were already more than 30 children in their teens waiting here with their parents.

"Today is the side spirit ceremony of my Song family Mujiao Town. No matter whether it is the Song family or other children in the town, as long as they meet the test age, they can come here to test their spiritual roots. No matter who has a spiritual root and is sent to the mountain to practice immortal arts, they can become one of us.

The rest is still the old rules. Anyone who has a fairy child with spiritual roots in the family can get a reward of 200 taels of silver at a time. Well, I won't say more nonsense. I will call the number in my hand and ask them to come forward to accept the test, one by one."

Song Xintong turned sideways and nodded slightly to the elder Song Qingrui, and began to test the spiritual roots of each child who came here in order.

"Next, number 23."

More than 20 people were called in a row, but as expected, no spiritual root seedlings were seen. After testing more than half of them, there was still nothing. Song Qingrui's face began to look a little ugly.

The 23rd boy was a little boy who was a little afraid of strangers. After Song Xintong whispered several times, he reluctantly left his mother's arms and slowly moved to Song Xinggui's side.

With the help of Song Xinggui, the little boy put his hand on the spiritual disk for testing spiritual roots. Before he could withdraw his arm, two dazzling spiritual lights suddenly appeared on the spiritual disk, shocking everyone who had been silent.
