Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan-Chapter 322 - 328: Operation
The process of the Spirit Root Testing Conference wasn't worth mentioning, the only noteworthy point was that this year, many children were found to have Spiritual Roots, but unfortunately, there were no particularly promising seeds; the vast majority possessed either Four Spiritual Roots or even Five Spirit Roots.
With such aptitude, if they were in a Sect, they might not even be accepted, and even if they were, they would be nothing more than servants—miscellaneous disciples.
However, within the family, without getting into details, the most basic treatment would definitely be met.
As for whether any of them could be like Li Zhixuan, who, with the aptitude of Four Spiritual Roots, had step by step reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment? Li Zhirui did not know yet but did not hold out much hope.
After all, someone like Li Zhixuan appeared in the Li family only once in the hundreds of years since the family's establishment.
And after the Spirit Root Testing Conference concluded, the children who were found to have Spiritual Roots this year would enter the Spirit Wisdom Court to begin their three years of tempering their meridians.
"Shuo, Sheng, take good care of yourselves. Your mother and I will be waiting at home for your return," said Li Zhirui as he brought them to the entrance of the Spirit Wisdom Court. "Go on in, make some friends."
"I have it all noted down, Daddy. Don't worry; I'll take care of big brother," the adorable Li Chengshuo replied loudly.
The usually expressionless Li Chengsheng's mouth uncontrollably twitched several times.
With a twin sister like her wishing to take care of others? It would be impressive if she could take proper care of herself.
"Good, I believe in Shuo," but Li Zhirui ignored these practical issues and seriously affirmed.
"Sheng, focus on tempering your meridians and exercising your body. It will greatly benefit your future cultivation," said Li Zhirui, patting his young shoulders and talking to him as an equal.
"Thank you for the reminder, Daddy," said Li Chengsheng, feeling a warmth in his heart as he looked at the man planning for his future.
Ever since he was little, in his eyes, whether it was his father Li Zhirui or his mother Jiang Fengwu, they both valued and favored Li Chengshuo more. Although he wasn't jealous, envy was uncontrollable.
It was only during this time that Li Chengsheng realized that his parents did care for him, just in a different way.
"Go ahead." Li Zhirui sent the two into the Spirit Wisdom Court, then stood at the gate for a while until the two little figures had completely vanished from his sight before he turned to leave.
And Jiang Fengwu? She didn't want to part with them and did not want to experience the farewell in person; she feared she might burst into tears on the spot.
After Li Zhirui returned, he saw she was still gloomy, "Since the two older kids are no longer home, we should also work hard to give them a younger brother or sister."
With that, he went forward to pick up Jiang Fengwu and walked into the bedroom.
"You still have the mood for this?" Jiang Fengwu glared at him, both embarrassed and annoyed, yet she didn't know how tempting she looked; Li Zhirui initially made a joke to alleviate the sadness in Jiang Fengwu's heart, but now he was ready to take action!
"Blame it on Fengwu being too beautiful, your husband simply can't resist the temptation." Saying this, he started to be hands-on, eliciting continuous delicate gasps from Jiang Fengwu.

Two flowers bloom, each showing one branch.
But as for the now school-entered Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo, they were exploring this place they had never been to before.
"Big brother, the Spirit Wisdom Court is so big!"
```
The Spirit Wisdom Court was initially not very large, but as the number of children discovered to have a Spiritual Root increased every year, it could be said that the institution had expanded time and time again; now it occupied a tall mountain peak.
Li Chengsheng couldn't help furrowing his brows because, since their arrival, everybody seemed to recognize them and stared at them nonstop.
What he didn't know was that ever since the two siblings were born, there had been people scheming about how to make contact with them and befriend them.
It was because they had good parents. Their starting point was what countless cultivators could not reach in their entire lifetimes.
Before long, a boy of about six or seven years old came out and said, "Sheng, I'll take you to the dormitory. You'll start training tomorrow. It's better to settle down with your belongings now to avoid a last-minute rush."
"Jiu brother!" the two exclaimed excitedly.
Li Chengjiu, the son of Li Zhirui's big brother Li Zhizhun, was of a similar age to the two brothers and could be said to have grown up with them.
He was a year older and thus had entered the Spirit Wisdom Court a year earlier. Of course, he couldn't compare to the two in terms of talent, but he was still respectable, possessing a Metal-Water-Wood Triple Spirit Root.
"If you don't have other things to do today, you should go to bed early. Otherwise, tomorrow's first training will be very tiring," Li Chengjiu gently reminded them before leaving.
"We know, thank you for the reminder, Jiu brother."
Li Chengjiu had his own matters to attend to, so he didn't stay long. After he left, the other three from the small courtyard finally opened the door and came out.
Each small courtyard could accommodate up to ten people, and they were lucky, with only five in total.
"Hello, my name is Li Dachun/Li Chengxi/Li Dajin." Two boys and one girl; Li Dajin was the only girl. Oddly, all three had grown up in the secular world.

Although Li Chengsheng found it somewhat strange, he didn't think much of it due to his young age. But this was actually a situation arranged by Li Zhirui.
That was because most children who grew up in the clan would either take the initiative or follow their elders' wishes to ingratiate themselves with the siblings.
Li Zhirui didn't want them to live in an environment full of flattery and bootlicking at an age when their personalities were still malleable, as this could spoil Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo!
So he had deliberately manipulated the circumstances.
The siblings introduced themselves but didn't disclose their parents' identities. Of course, even if they had, Li Dajin and the others would not have recognized them at this point.
"It's been a busy day, let's all go back and rest." Since everyone was unfamiliar with each other, the conversation quieted down after a few words. This suited Li Chengsheng just fine. After exchanging a few words, he went to his own room.
The next day, just as dawn was breaking, a piercing sound rang out in the Spirit Wisdom Court, as though exploding right by their ears, and everyone was instantly wide awake.
"You have a quarter of an hour to wash up. Those who don't make it on time will have their training doubled!" a cold voice announced following that.
Li Chengsheng and the others didn't know what the training entailed, but they knew without thinking that being late was not at all a good thing; they hurried to wash up and rush to the training ground.
They made it just in time, but there were still many who didn't arrive within the allotted time.
A burly man, seemingly a master of physical cultivation, spoke up, "My name is Li Zhikui, and from today on, I will be your morning teacher!"
"I don't care who your parents are or their status in the family. If you make a mistake, I will show no mercy!" Li Zhikui said with implied meaning.
