Spiritual root detecting stone

The relatives were curious and excited to know their spiritual roots. They were thrilled by the prospects of future cultivation.

The elders followed Ray's instruction followed by his friends.

"Dad has medium grade spiritual root with an earth affinity. "

"Mom has a high-grade spiritual root with fire, wood affinity. Congrats mom!!"

The system already informed him that usually most living beings have a single elemental affinity, but there were geniuses with two or more elemental affinity. More elements meant that a person could practice more techniques and would have more attack power.

Moreover, if they possess medium or higher grade spiritual roots then they would be highly sought out by the sects in ancient times! They were treated as core disciples along with those with the exceptional physique or mutated spiritual roots. Moreover, fire and wood spiritual roots are required for alchemy, so Mrs Ray was also an alchemy genius.

Ray's mum was also astonished after hearing that.

"As long I will be able to help you son! " replied Mrs Ray weakly.

Apparently, she still didn't accept the fact of her paternal's family's death. Ray blinked at his father as he consoled her.

"Uncle has a high-grade spiritual root with a metal affinity. Wow!"

"Aunt has a low-grade spiritual root with a wind affinity."

"Uncle Gray has medium grade spiritual root with water affinity."

"Aunt Gray has a high-grade spiritual root with dark affinity."

"Uncle Clarke has medium grade spiritual root with lightning, fire affinity. Congratulations Uncle Clarke!!"

"Haha..aha yes!"

"okay Next! Aunt Clarke has a medium grade spiritual root with light affinity."

"Uncle Xaviers has a low-grade spiritual root with wood affinity."

"Aunt Xaviers has medium grade spiritual root with a fire affinity."

As everyone sighed in relief, Ray's friends were nervous as time went by. It was killing them to wait for so much time before they could get tested. Ray glanced at them and snickered.

"Okay guys, drop blood one by one! " instructed Ray arrogantly.

Leo was the most anxious of them, so he was the 1st one to be tested.

"Hm... Leo has a medium grade spiritual root with light, lightning affinity. Woah! Didn't expect that!" said Ray jealously.

"Hahaa...Brace yourself, sinners!! Mr Justice is back!! " laughed Leo comically only to get smacked on his head by his dad.

"Ouch! Dad stop ruining my moment! "

"Shut up you rascal! Keep some face!!" scolded Leo's dad as others laughed at him.

*This guy has a holy physique! His spiritual roots also match with it! His cultivation will skyrocket in the future after his physique gets activated!! He will be a good comrade in future!* said the system suddenly.

Ray was shocked and asked anxiously, "When will the physique get activated?"

*To activate the holy physique, you need at least two kinds of holy lotus essence, a light attributed demon beast's blood and core, holy fruit of light. He needs to consume them to activate it. His spiritual root will be upgraded to top-level once his physique gets activated!*

Ray never heard of them, so he just remembered them to search them for later.

"Lucas has a high-grade spiritual root with a metal affinity. "

"Nathan has a top-grade spiritual root with a dark, wood affinity. Congrats bro!! "

"Kai has a medium-grade spiritual root with wood, fire affinity. Congrats bro!! You are an alchemy genius like mom!!"

Ray was overwhelmed by happiness. He was worried about the qualification aptitude of his brothers. He was glad that they had a high aptitude for cultivation. After all, the lower grade was the aptitude, the more resources and time a person would take to break through!

Although Kai had medium-grade spiritual root, the lowest among five of the friends, he was one in a thousand - an alchemy genius. So he also had his own value!

*By the way, Mrs Xaviers has a faint fire eagle's bloodline which has high fire, wind affinity. Your friend has inherited it too. Although is impure and has a minimal percentage of bloodline left, he still will have high control of fire and will be proficient in alchemy!*

"Ah! Really!! That's good!! " Ray was surprised but was very happy hearing the news and immediately shared the news with others.

"Holy fuck!!! I don't want to be a priest!!" yelled Leo exaggeratedly as he clutched his head.

"Haha.... priest with a potbelly and bald head!! "

"Nooooooooo..."

They laughed and fake mocked each other as they had lunch together. While they were having some peaceful time, the outside world was facing destruction.

B state was totally destroyed. The zergs were now marching towards G and D states in the south. Immediately after that was H state in which Ray and his relatives were located.

Meanwhile, some humans found themselves with superpowers or elemental abilities after consuming demon beast cores. Some even had their physique mutated and gained the superstrength of hundred elephants! They started rolling areas and enslaved, exploited the weak! Society moved back to ancient times where the strong ruled the weak!

In addition to that, those states which had a wide range of forests or mountains faced extinction too due to sudden beast tides. Military deployed high explosives and barely took a relief after destroying the beast tide when another wave of higher beast arrived!

It was a one side slaughter where the savage demon beasts cruelly massacred the humans, destroyed the heritage sites. Those well know highly crowded commercial cities became a ruin and playground for those beasts.

Finally, the government deployed nuclear bombs to kill them which gained them temporary peace from those wicked beasts!

Only after a day of the apocalypse, almost 5% of the population were killed. Some small countries completely vanished from the face of the Earth even before they could make sense of the apocalypse!

It was chaos which followed everywhere!

...

Ray, along with his friends again ventured into the locality. Ray madly inspected his surrounding for herbs. Today they were going to search for the ingredients for a healing potion.

This city had a large artificial lake for lotus viewing. It also had traditional Chinese buildings around it and also had a bamboo forest enclosing the surroundings. It was specifically built by the government to appreciate Chinese culture and engage in strategic mutual benefits with that country!

Ray went there numerous times with his mom to appreciate its beauty. He was going to try his luck and see if could obtain the so-called vermillion bamboo shoots and white lotus roots!
