While Mike and Rod were discussing the future, they finally arrived at their destination, and the guard stopped the wagon, asking: “Are you a citizen? If not, do you have an entrance permit? If you don't have one, you need to pay 100 silver coins for the entrance fee.”
Hearing this, Rod took out his business permit, and the guard read it for a while before saying: “Okay, you can go in now.”
Rod continued driving the wagon forward, while Mike was in a daze about how beautiful the place was.
Mike couldn't help but wonder, “This place is way better than the clan state. I wonder if there is a lot of nice food here. I have plenty of gold coins; I can eat what I want, unlike in the clan.”
After a while, Rod stopped the wagon in front of a merchant guild named Freeway, and he told Mike: “My lord, we need to change your identity so that the Lou clan won't be able to recognize you.”
Mike replied: “I’ve been thinking about that. Also, remember to call me little brother in public. Don’t let others suspect us, especially the top clans. If they discover that you can cultivate now, and I am your lord, they will investigate my background, and we don’t have the power to resist yet.”
Upon hearing Mike's reminder, Rod nodded: “Yes, my lord. I will call you little brother in public.”
Mike said: “Good. Now, let's go change my name.”
The two of them then went inside the merchant guild for registration. Inside, they were greeted by a beautiful attendant, who said: “Hello, dear guests. How may I help you?”
Rod went forward and politely said: “I want to register my little brother for his identity.”
Upon hearing Rod's request, the attendant nodded: “Okay, please follow me for your registration.”
The attendant went towards the right-side reception, and Mike and Rod followed. While Mike always took a sneaky glance at the attendant's figure, Rod noticed this and couldn't help but shake his head. Even though Mike was his lord, it couldn't be denied that he was still a child, and what's worse, he was also a virgin in his past life.
The attendant also noticed Mike's behavior, but she didn’t take it as an offense since Mike was a child, and she saw how innocent Mike was. She was used to it.
Upon arrival at the desk, the attendant took out a crystal ball and placed it on the table. She then asked for information for identification.

The attendant asked: “What is the full name of your little brother, sir?”
Rod looked at Mike: “You can tell her your name.”
Mike looked at the attendant shyly and then told her his name and age: “Li Mike.”
The attendant found Mike's behavior amusing, but didn’t mind it. She asked: “What is your age?”
Mike replied: “7 years old.”
The attendant asked: “Does the 'Li' in your name represent your clan name?”
Hearing this, Mike shook his head: “No, I don’t belong to any clan. Li Mike is my name.”
Upon hearing Mike's confirmation, she nodded. She took the crystal ball and placed it in front of Mike, saying, “Put your hand on this ball; let's check your spirit roots.”
When Rod heard the woman's words, he got curious because he also wanted to know Mike's spirit roots since he was the Creator's successor.
Mike then did what the woman said and placed his hand on top of the crystal ball, and it gave off a faint red with a mix of white glow.
Seeing this, the attendant said: “Okay, that’s enough.”
Mike then removed his hand while Rod looked at Mike in shock. He couldn’t believe what he just saw.
Mike then looked at the attendant with full of expectation, “How is it?”
The woman showed no reaction, looked at Mike, and smiled slightly. She then wrote Mike's identity record on a bronze card and gave it to Mike.
Mike was stunned by the attendant's smile. He forced his mind to stay steady and reached out his hand to receive the card. Upon receiving the card, Mike read it.
Name: Li Mike Age: 7 Spirit root: Red Fetus Incomplete
When Rod saw the record, he didn’t say anything. Meanwhile, Mike was petrified, as if his body was full of cracks. He couldn't believe it; he was the chosen one, the successor of the Creator, but his root was trash. Not just trash, but worse than trash. The fetus spirit was considered trash, but it still had a chance to mature with the help of resources. But an incomplete root was almost beyond saving.
Seeing Mike stand still, the attendant felt pity for Mike because she knew that spirit root is the foundation of a cultivator's future. It was her first time seeing an incomplete spirit root.
Rod called out to Mike: “Little brother! Little brother!”
Mike was pulled back to reality: “This can’t be. This is impossible.”
Rod said: “I know. It's hard to believe, little brother. Let's talk about it on the road.”
Mike suddenly remembered something: “Right, big brother, test your spirit root. I want to know the color of your spirit roots.”
Upon hearing this, Rod was excited. He himself also wanted to know his spirit root.
Rod looked at the attendant and said: “Can I update my information?”
Hearing this, the attendant nodded: “Sure, you can. Let me have your card so that I can update it.”
Rod then took out his bronze card and gave it to the attendant. When the attendant saw Rod's card information, she got confused because the name was familiar to her, and the card also had a VIP mark and an additional status, which is Freeway exclusive merchant. In her memories, there are only two exclusive merchants or VIPs: Daxton and Rod.
The attendant asked: “Excuse me, Mr. Rod, why do you look familiar but not familiar either, and you are a VIP?”
Hearing this, the young-looking Rod smiled as he replied: “Oh, boss Elowen. It’s me, your handsome merchant.”
The attendant, Elowen, was shocked. Now that she knew, she realized why Rod looked familiar, but not at the same time. Elowen, Rod, and Daxton were friends. Elowen was the big sister, and both Daxton and Rod were her little brothers. Rod was the younger brother, and among the three of them, she was the only cultivator. Daxton and Rod were only mortals back then when they met each other.
