Mo Wuji quickly stepped forward, clasped his fists and said, "We were just curious and came to take a look. We heard that spiritual root opening requires a lot of gold coins, and we can't even afford to eat. We don't even have a single silver coin, so where would we get gold coins? We'll leave right now."

The gaze of the white-bearded man was somewhat frightening. Mo Wuji had a hard-to-explain feeling that they shouldn't stay here any longer.

The woman snorted coldly, her gaze sweeping over the cloth bag containing gold coins in Mo Wuji's hand, a hint of disgust flashing in her eyes. Obviously, she knew Mo Wuji had gold coins in his bag, which was why she was so disdainful and disgusted by his lies.

Mo Wuji was quite worldly-wise, and naturally noticed the disgust in the woman's eyes. He even wondered if there was a hole in his bag. Otherwise, how could the woman's gaze penetrate his bag?

"Don't be in such a hurry to leave. Since you're here, go in and see if you have any spiritual roots," the white-bearded man said in a hoarse voice.

Mo Wuji calmed down. He clearly felt that the white-bearded man wasn't targeting him, but Yan'Er beside him. If it was for Yan'Er's spiritual root, but Yan'Er clearly hadn't tested her spiritual root, could he see it? If it wasn't for Yan'Er's spiritual root, then what was it for? He pulled Yan'Er behind him and said cautiously, "Two adults, my brother and sister don't have any gold coins, and we don't want to go for spiritual root opening right now. Goodbye."

The white-bearded man chuckled, "We're not asking you to go for spiritual root opening. It doesn't cost much to test. Go in..."

Testing doesn't cost much? Mo Wuji was somewhat puzzled. Wasn't it said that the test before spiritual root opening cost at least several hundred gold coins?

"Old brother, I heard that even just testing costs five hundred gold coins. Some people test as mortal roots, and to try their luck with spiritual root opening, they need at least ten thousand gold coins, using the worst spiritual herbs." If he didn't see that these two were extraordinary, Mo Wuji would even suspect that they were human traffickers.

The white-bearded man laughed heartily, "Generally, only after it's detected that you have spiritual roots do you need to consider whether to go for spiritual root opening. Once it's a mortal root, they'll say that the Spiritual Root Opening Tower can't detect some spiritual roots, so they simply lure others to directly perform spiritual root opening, since they won't lose out anyway."

Mo Wuji completely understood. What spiritual root opening requiring tens of thousands to millions of gold coins? This was completely a money-grabbing scheme by the Spiritual Root Opening Tower. As long as you come for testing, if it's a mortal root, they'll say they can't be sure if you have spiritual roots, and it can only be determined after spiritual root opening.

If you want spiritual root opening, then fine, bring the gold coins. Some people even had the same idea as him, thinking that the spiritual herbs used for the first spiritual root opening weren't good enough, and the hidden spiritual roots weren't developed, so they spent money to do a second spiritual root opening.

At this point, Mo Wuji was one hundred percent sure that his cheap old man was cheated the first time he brought him for spiritual root opening.

It must have been that he didn't have spiritual roots, and those guys at the Spiritual Root Opening Tower wanted to earn the spiritual root opening fee. Plus, Mo Guangyuan desperately needed him to be able to cultivate, so he spent a large amount of gold coins to perform spiritual root opening. Of course, those who could be cheated were rich folks.

"Stop," the guards of the Spiritual Root Opening Tower didn't seem to recognize the man and woman, and also stopped them.

The white-bearded man snorted coldly, "Who's in charge here? Get out here."

The white-bearded man's cold snort didn't sound very loud, but Mo Wuji felt like his eardrums were about to be shattered, and there was a sense of panic in his heart.

In just a few seconds, a fat middle-aged man rushed out. When he arrived at the entrance of the Spiritual Root Opening Tower, he looked at the man and woman with some confusion, obviously not recognizing them either.

The man raised his hand and took out a jade token, saying, "Take me to the best spiritual root testing room here."

When the fat man saw the jade token, his hand trembled slightly, and he quickly said respectfully, "Yes, yes, I am the responsible steward here, Liu Chunshan. Please, both of you, come with me."

Following that, Mo Wuji felt a powerful force carrying him, involuntarily following the man and woman into the Spiritual Root Opening Tower.

Mo Wuji's expression was a bit unsightly. He did want to test whether he had spiritual roots again. But being forced in without any ability to resist made him feel very uncomfortable.

The inside of the Spiritual Root Opening Tower was quite spacious. Mo Wuji saw several people paying gold coins, looking like they were here to test or open spiritual roots.

Liu Chunshan quickly led them to the second floor of the Spiritual Root Opening Tower. As soon as they entered the second floor, the first thing Mo Wuji saw was a crystal cylinder about ten feet in size.

"You go test first, just stand behind there," the white-bearded man said casually, pointing to the place behind the crystal cylinder for Mo Wuji to stand.

Mo Wuji knew what he meant. He was letting him test for Yan'Er's sake. At this point, Mo Wuji had already guessed that the white-bearded man thought highly of Yan'Er's spiritual root. He didn't know how he could tell with just one glance.

Even though he had tested once before and knew he didn't have spiritual roots, Mo Wuji was still somewhat uneasy. He hoped that the last test was wrong, and that he actually had spiritual roots. At this moment, he even hoped that the people who said he didn't have spiritual roots before were trying to cheat his cheap old man out of more gold coins, so he could test a second time.

Mo Wuji also knew that this possibility was very small.

"Young Master, go test," Mo Wuji's words yesterday made Yan'Er understand in her heart that her young master desperately wanted to have spiritual roots.

Mo Wuji nodded, took a deep breath, walked to the place for testing spiritual roots, and stood on it.

A gray light flashed on the crystal cylinder, and then it didn't move at all.

Mo Wuji didn't know how to have spiritual roots, but the crystal cylinder didn't react at all, and he knew that this was definitely not a sign of having spiritual roots.

Sure enough, the white-bearded man said impatiently, "The most ordinary mortal root. You're destined to be a mortal in this life. Get down."

Mo Wuji felt a chill all over his body, and his head was a little dizzy. His strong self-control allowed him to walk off the testing platform as if nothing had happened. His slightly trembling hand showed how disappointed he was at this moment. Even the worst spiritual root would be fine, but why just a mortal root?

"Young Master, it's okay if you don't have spiritual roots. Master also doesn't have spiritual roots," Yan'Er quickly came up to protect Mo Wuji.

Mo Wuji pretended to smile calmly, "It's okay, I still have my hands even if I don't have spiritual roots. We'll still have a good life in the future."

He sighed inwardly. There was one sentence he didn't say. Master was eaten until only his bones were left in Raozhou because he didn't have spiritual roots.

The beautiful woman was too lazy to even despise Mo Wuji. Having a good life was a lofty ideal that only ants had.

The white-bearded man didn't pay attention to Mo Wuji at all, but looked at Yan'Er with a smile and said, "Little girl, you come test."

Yan'Er quickly shook her head, "I don't need to test. I don't want to cultivate either. I want to leave with Young Master."

"Since you're here, just test it." With the white-bearded man's words, Yan'Er involuntarily fell onto the position for testing spiritual roots.

Mo Wuji secretly clenched his fists. He did want Yan'Er to test, but now he was even more uncomfortable with this kind of forcing Yan'Er to test. Mo Wuji slowly took a breath. Even if he was uncomfortable, he was as small as an ant in front of this man and woman.

As soon as Yan'Er landed on the testing platform, in just a few seconds, the crystal cylinder suddenly burst out with bursts of cyan light. Soon, the cyan light rushed to the top of the crystal cylinder, only a foot away from reaching the top. The cyan light was soft and bright, like a streak of cyan light rainbow.

"Top-grade spiritual root!" The white-bearded man and the beautiful woman shouted almost simultaneously. Mo Wuji saw a kind of fanatical look in their eyes.

As expected, it was for Yan'Er's sake. A sense of powerlessness arose in Mo Wuji's heart.
