An Jing noticed the subtle expression on Nian Quan's face and quickly waved his hand, saying, "Please don't mind, I have no ill intentions... It's like this, this issue is actually common knowledge in the city, so if you don't know it... you must definitely be from the Wilderness."
He lowered his head, staring at the table, and whispered in a more complicated tone, "Because getting a Spirit Root certification costs money."
"...Could it be that it's not tested at birth? I see that you also know you have a Heavenly Spiritual Root."
An Jing was somewhat puzzled, while Nian Quan patiently explained, "Yes, indeed, I do know, the identification itself is free, but the identification 'certificate' is not—if I want to receive subsidies, or go to a higher institute, I must obtain two certificates from the central hospital and the general administration office."
