Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming-Chapter 476 - 251: Young Xu Fu, High-Grade Spiritual Root【Subscription Request】_2
According to Mo Renyi, he was originally a mortal doctor from a family of physicians. Because his father had lived next door to an old loose cultivator for many years and had formed a close relationship with him, he was helped by the old cultivator to embark on the path of cultivation.
However, after mixing around in the cultivation world for more than twenty years, Mo Renyi grew tired of the life of a loose cultivator and simply gave up on cultivating and returned to the mortal world. He took over the family’s medical clinic, specializing in treating people’s ailments and dispensing medicine.

As for the young Xu Fu, he was a person with Spirit Root Aptitude whom Mo Renyi discovered while practicing medicine. As Xu Fu was suffering from a strange illness that Mo Renyi could not cure with many methods, he had no choice but to teach Xu Fu the Breathing Technique of cultivation, hoping that he could strengthen his body and rid himself of the illness through self-cultivation and the building of mana.
After following him and cultivating for a few years, the young Xu Fu indeed managed to rid himself of the strange illness with the method of cultivation.
"Wait, you’re saying this kid only followed you for three years? And during that time, he never went to an individual cultivator stronghold or a family sect to cultivate?"
All of a sudden, Zhou Chun seemed to find something intriguing and looked at Mo Renyi with a surprised face, expressing his doubt.
Upon hearing this, Mo Renyi misunderstood him and sighed with a wry smile on his face, "The junior is aware that doing so would cause him to accumulate Evil Qi, but at the time I didn’t really think of bringing him into the cultivation world. I just wanted him to try and see if he could cure the strange illness. Now it seems like the junior has harmed him instead!"
"That’s not what I mean. What I mean is, have you tested his Spirit Root Aptitude?"
Zhou Chun shook his head repeatedly, and spoke again to clarify his true intentions.
This made Mo Renyi pause for a moment, and then he shook his head and replied, "No, with my cultivation level only at the sixth layer of the Qi Refinement Realm, I don’t possess the ability to test his Spirit Root Aptitude. It was just that at that time, I felt a sense of spiritual nature in him and thought that he might possibly have Spirit Root Aptitude!"
As he said this, he seemed to realize something and looked at Zhou Chun tentatively, "Senior means to say that Xu Fu, this kid, has excellent Spirit Root Aptitude?"
"We will know whether it’s good or not just by testing it."
Zhou Chun said and turned his gaze to the young Xu Fu, "Zhou is now going to test your Spirit Root Aptitude. Do not resist at all and do not reject your body’s reaction."
"Yes, junior obeys," Xu Fu replied respectfully, standing aside and waiting earnestly for Zhou Chun to cast the spell.
Seeing this, Zhou Chun immediately formed a hand seal and cast the "Spirit Testing Technique."
The moment the white Dharma Sphere formed by the "Spirit Testing Technique" entered his body, Xu Fu instantly felt an ant-biting heartache, itchy and painful all at once.
But remembering Zhou Chun’s instruction, he dared not use his weak mana to alleviate the pain and instead relied on his own willpower to endure it firmly.
Fortunately, that pain only lasted for a short few breaths before it passed.
Soon, a white light tinged with blue shot out from the top of his head, only stopping when it was more than eight feet above his head.
"The light ascends eight feet high, this is the aptitude of a top-grade Spiritual Root! This kid actually has a top-grade Spiritual Root!"
Watching this scene, Mo Renyi immediately widened his eyes, his face showing shock as he exclaimed in disbelief.
They say that even if you haven’t eaten pork, you’ve seen a pig walk.
Although Mo Renyi, due to his own cultivation level, couldn’t cast such a mana-consuming first-grade superior spell like the "Spirit Testing Technique," he had nonetheless mixed in the cultivation world for over twenty years. Naturally, he knew the criteria for judging Spirit Root Aptitude with the "Spirit Testing Technique."
The moment the spiritual light phenomenon appeared above the young Xu Fu’s head, he checked it against what he knew, and immediately had an idea of Xu Fu’s Spirit Root Aptitude.
And of course, he understood how precious a top-grade Spirit Root Aptitude was!
With such Spirit Root Aptitude, no matter which one of the three major sects in Jingguo Country he went to, he would be eagerly taken in as a disciple by some Purple Mansion Phase Cultivator, and he wouldn’t have to worry about Foundation Establishment Pills in the future.
"Indeed, it is a top-grade Spirit Root Aptitude, and what’s rare is that it is actually a Wind Spirit Root attribute!"
Zhou Chun also looked at the young Xu Fu with surprise in his eyes, astonished by the latter’s aptitude.
The Spiritual Root attributes of Cultivators are generally one of the Five Elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and the majority contain several elements. For instance, Zhou Chun is of metal, earth, and wood attributes.
However, beyond the Five Elements, there are special attributes such as wind, thunder, ice, and darkness.

When compared to the more common Five Elements, these special attributes are undoubtedly much rarer and harder to come by.
It’s not to say that these special attributes are necessarily better than the Five Elements. In fact, in terms of the speed of cultivation, there’s no difference between the two under the same conditions.
It’s just that Cultivators with special attributes, once they have cultivated corresponding techniques, possess spells with the power of wind, thunder, ice, and darkness which will be greatly enhanced, making it difficult for ordinary Five Elements Cultivators to counter them.
In short, Cultivators with special attributes generally have stronger combat abilities in spell battles than those with Five Elements attributes at the same cultivation levels.
Xu Fu himself has a top-grade Spirit Root Aptitude and cultivates faster than most Cultivators. Moreover, he has a Wind Attribute Spiritual Root—such an aptitude is exceedingly rare.
At this moment, seeing Zhou Chun confirm his suspicions, Mo Renyi’s face turned pale, filled with regret he couldn’t help saying, "In that case, when I treated him and taught him cultivation back then, didn’t I actually harm him?"
He was thinking that if he hadn’t taught Xu Fu to cultivate, Xu Fu wouldn’t have been constantly absorbing nature’s spiritual energy tainted with Evil Qi.
Remembering that a cultivation genius with such a promising future might be buried because of him, Mo Renyi’s heart was filled with remorse.
Zhou Chun understood Mo Renyi’s feelings and promptly consoled him, "Friend Mo speaks too seriously. If you hadn’t taught him to cultivate, not to mention his strange illness would remain unsolved, but also his brilliant talent would’ve remained buried somewhere unknown!"
The young Xu Fu also hurriedly joined in, "Yes, yes, if it hadn’t been for my master’s help, I would have died long ago. I can never fully repay my master for saving my life and giving me a second chance. What does it matter if I’m tainted with a bit of Evil Qi!"
Despite this, Mo Renyi still felt very uncomfortable, thinking he had buried Xu Fu’s talent.
He looked at Xu Fu and then at Zhou Chun who was beside him.
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, his eyes filled with hope and he asked Zhou Chun cautiously, "Senior Zhou, I previously heard that the Evil Qi is not completely incurable. Some major families and sects seem to have ways to expel the Evil Qi from a cultivator’s body, is that true?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he nodded gently, "That’s true, and my Zhou Family has two such treasures that can remove the Evil Qi from cultivators’ bodies!"
Without waiting for Mo Renyi, whose face showed delight upon hearing his words, to speak, Zhou Chun added indifferently, "However, whether it is the Spirit Spice of the Fragrant Musk Deer or the Soul Washing Spirit Water of the Soul Washing Water Monster, both are treasures worth a thousand Spirit Coins and are priceless."
The implication was clear: he did not believe Mo Renyi was capable of paying the price in Spirit Coins for either item.
And indeed, that was the case.
If Mo Renyi truly had substantial wealth, he would not have abandoned his path to live in seclusion among mortals, nor would he have allowed Xu Fu to cultivate in the mortal realm.
So, after hearing Zhou Chun’s words, the joy originally on Mo Renyi’s face immediately disappeared, and he was left with an expression full of sorrow and helplessness.
The young Xu Fu, who just a moment ago was insisting that being tainted with Evil Qi didn’t matter, now had a dimmed look in his eyes, and the brightness had left them.
About the harm of Evil Qi, Mo Renyi had told him when he first passed on the Breathing Technique for cultivation.
At that time, he needed the technique to save his life, so naturally, he didn’t worry about the later consequences.
But now, having tasted the benefits of Mana and cultivation levels, having seen the strength of a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator like Zhou Chun, and having learned that he possessed a top-grade Spirit Root Aptitude, how could he not wish to walk further on the path of cultivation!
