Thousand Peaks Mountain Range, Peach Wood Peak, there lies a Tier One Middle Grade Spirit Vein.
This is the land of a Qi Cultivation Clan—a branch of the Zhang Clan.
The Zhang Clan Ancestral Hall is ancient and solemn, with faded cloud patterns carved on the beams. Ancestral tablets are placed on the offering table as the incense burns, releasing a solemn aura.
Today is the Zhang Clan's triennial Spirit Testing Ceremony!
In the center of the hall stands a half-human height Spirit Testing Compass, engraved with five-color runes, and its edges marked with scales from one to fifty, the gauge for judging the grade of Spiritual Roots.
Over forty children lined up in a row, each wearing new clothes, their faces filled with tension and anticipation.
Their parents stood on both sides of the ancestral hall, eyes fixed on the Spirit Testing Compass, palms sweating.
