After the Spirit Hall gate opened, Village Chief Kro and Qi Tian immediately came forward to greet them.
Following closely behind were the parents of the other children.
Kro said nervously, "Master Su Yuntao, may I ask if any of the children from our Radish Village have the potential to become Soul Masters this year?"
It was understandable that he was so nervous; it had been several years since Radish Village had produced a Soul Master.
Su Yuntao's gaze swept around, feeling the expectant and uneasy mood of the crowd, and let out a long sigh.
Seeing this, everyone's hearts sank, and disappointment flashed in their eyes.
Could it be…
That Radish Village wouldn't produce a Soul Master again this year?
Then, everyone's eyes turned to Qi Lin.
Everyone felt that with Qi Lin's luck, there was no reason for him not to have awakened innate spirit power.
They expected to see a lonely or dejected expression on Qi Lin's face.
However, what greeted them was Qi Lin's faint smile.
This smile was relaxed and calm, full of a Buddhist-like tranquility, completely unlike someone who had suffered a setback.
What was going on?
As everyone was curious, Su Yuntao suddenly spoke again, "This year, a total of three people in your Radish Village have awakened innate spirit power."
"Ah!"
The people of Radish Village, including Kro and Qi Tian, cried out in surprise, bewildered by Su Yuntao's sudden turn, and looked at him with a resentful expression.
Their eyes seemed to say, since someone in our Radish Village has awakened innate spirit power, why did you sigh just now, causing us to misunderstand?
When everyone looked at Qi Lin again, they finally reacted.
No wonder Qi Lin didn't look like he had suffered a setback at all; he must have awakened innate spirit power.
In contrast, the other children were all dejected and their faces were downcast.
Kro's expression also became excited, and he quickly asked, "Then, Master Su Yuntao, may I ask who are the three children in our village who have awakened innate spirit power? And how many levels of innate spirit power did they awaken?"
Su Yuntao looked at the excited and expectant expressions of the crowd and sighed again.
"The three children who awakened innate spirit power are Qi Lin, Xiao Wu, and Qi Yue."
As soon as this was said, before Su Yuntao could continue, the parents of the children became restless and all showed an expression of 'as expected'.
The parents of the children who had not awakened innate spirit power all cast envious glances at Qi Tian and Qi Yue's father, a seemingly simple and honest middle-aged man.
In the crowd, only Kro remained calm, clearing his throat and saying, "Everyone, quiet down!"
Kro was clearly very respected by the villagers in Radish Village; as soon as he spoke, everyone quieted down again.
Seeing this, Su Yuntao gave Kro a satisfied smile, and then continued:
"Among the three, except for Qi Yue who awakened only one level of innate spirit power, both Xiao Wu and Qi Lin awakened full innate spirit power."
"But unfortunately, Xiao Wu's spirit is Soft Bone Rabbit, and Qi Lin's spirit is even worse than Xiao Wu's, it's just a mutated Blue Silver Grass."
"Alas~ If their spirits were just a little stronger, their future prospects would be immeasurable!"
"Ah~"
"Soft Bone Rabbit, mutated Blue Silver Grass…"
"This, this is unbelievable, why would it be such a spirit."
After listening, Kro also couldn't help but sigh, looking at Qi Lin and Xiao Wu with regret.
What two poor children!
They should have had a brighter future.
As for the parents of the other children, they initially felt unbalanced when they heard that both Qi Lin and Xiao Wu had full innate spirit power.
But now, there was no longer any trace of envy in their eyes when they looked at Qi Tian and Qi Lin.
In their ingrained perception, they had never seen anyone successfully cultivate with the Wasted Martial Soul of Blue Silver Grass for hundreds or thousands of years.
What did this mean? It meant that this spirit was a pure Wasted Martial Soul , and even if it had innate spirit power, its upper limit was already locked.
Even if it was mutated, it wouldn't work!
After all, seven or eight out of ten mutated spirits become worse.
As for Soft Bone Rabbit…
Although this spirit was also quite weak, it was still stronger than Qi Lin's mutated Blue Silver Grass, right?
What a pity, it seems Qi Lin's luck isn't omnipotent either.
Thinking this way, the deification of Qi Lin in everyone's hearts was significantly weakened.
Qi Lin was aware of this, but he didn't care about these things.
In the crowd, only Qi Lin's parents' expressions didn't change much.
As Qi Lin's parents, they didn't feel much regret or disappointment.
The two who had changed their fate by relying on their son always felt immense trust in their son's strange luck.
Their intuition told them that their son's mutated Blue Silver Grass was definitely mutating in a good direction.
Others didn't know the couple's thoughts, and led by Village Chief Kro, they took the lead in comforting the two.
Su Yuntao patted Qi Lin's shoulder and encouraged him gently, "Although your spirit is a waste spirit, it's not completely impossible to cultivate."
"When Sister Sisi returns, we will take you to hunt for a spirit ring, and then you will be a Soul Master."
"Keep it up, I believe being a Soul Master is not your end point!"
"Thank you, Brother Su Yuntao, for your concern!" Although Qi Lin wasn't very worried about his future, he still smiled and thanked Su Yuntao.
And after hearing Qi Lin's thanks, Su Yuntao looked at his calm and gentle smile and suddenly felt a sense of ease throughout his body, and even the bottleneck of his next level loosened.
How strange!
Su Yuntao muttered to himself, but remembering that there were still more than a dozen villages waiting for him to awaken spirits one by one, he could only say to Kro:
"Village Chief Kro, I still have important matters to attend to, so I won't stay long."
Upon hearing this, Kro quickly replied, "Hey, Master Su Yuntao, you don't have to worry about us, the important matter is important, the important matter is important."
After speaking, Su Yuntao looked at Qi Lin again.
"Little friend, I'm leaving. The next time your Sister Sisi comes back, I will come with her to visit you."
Qi Lin said with a cheerful smile, "Then, Brother Su Yuntao, you should go and be busy with your work first, official business is important."
"Haha, alright, then I'm leaving!"
Leaving a sentence behind, Su Yuntao waved his hand and left with his bag on his back.
After he left, the villagers also dispersed one after another, returning to their respective homes.
On the way back, Qi Tian poked Qi Lin's shoulder and winked, "Son, what does your spirit look like, let your dad see?"
This tone and way of interacting didn't resemble that of a father and son, but rather a pair of close friends.
Xu Qian, who was beside them, also cast a curious glance.
Seeing this, Qi Lin cleared his throat and said with a smile, "Alright, let you broaden your horizons."
As he spoke, he extended his right hand.
The next second, a small blue grass with four leaves immediately emerged from Qi Lin's palm, looking ordinary and nothing special.
However, after Qi Tian examined it carefully for a while, he suddenly exclaimed, "Wife, quickly look at the four leaves on our son's mutated Blue Silver Grass."
This boisterous sound instantly attracted the attention of Xu Qian and Xiao Wu.
The two of them leaned in for a closer look.
They saw that the veins on the four leaves of the Four-Leaf Clover actually emitted a faint golden glow, but this glow looked very dim, and if you didn't look carefully, you really wouldn't notice it.
"Eh—" Xiao Wu's eyes suddenly lit up, and she leaned down to get closer to the Four-Leaf Clover in Qi Lin's palm.
Her eyelashes fluttered, and the faint golden light on the leaves of the Four-Leaf Clover was reflected in her pupils. She couldn't help but poke the leaf with her finger and cheered, "Brother Qi Lin's Blue Silver Grass leaves can glow!"
Qi Tian's face showed an expression of 'as expected', and he said to Xu Qian, who was also carefully examining the leaves of the Four-Leaf Clover:
"Wife, I knew at first glance that our son's spirit is definitely not as simple as ordinary mutated Blue Silver Grass."
Xu Qian rolled her eyes at him and said, "You don't need to tell me that, do you think I'm blind? What ordinary Blue Silver Grass glows gold?"
Qi Lin waited until his parents and Xiao Wu had seen enough before retracting the Four-Leaf Clover back into his body.
