The day after Xia Yun woke up, he was able to walk on the ground. Accompanied by Lin Ling, Xia Yun came outside the room for the first time. Looking at the scene in front of him, Xia Yun was a little surprised.

It is a flat land of three or four acres carved out between the banks of the river and the cliffs. It is long and narrow from east to west, and only more than five zhang wide from north to south. Along the east-west direction, just against the cliffs behind them, more than a dozen houses were built. The walls were all made of stone, and the roofs were covered with stone slabs. In front of the house is a river that flows from west to east, and although the slope of the river is not large, the speed of the river is not slow, and you can see from the occasional whirlpool on the surface of the river.

Xia Yun didn't see that there was a bridge on the river to communicate with the other bank, and then looked at the east and west of the courtyard, and he didn't see a way out. couldn't help but turn his head to look at Lin Ling beside him. Lin Ling seemed to be able to understand Xia Yun's question, looked at Xia Yun with a smile and said:

"Sister, are you wondering why there is no road? When Ling'er was first brought back by her master three years ago, she had the same doubts. ”

"How old is Ling'er this year?"

"Nine years old."

"And how do you usually go out?"

"We all have flying swords, so we don't have to walk. After the master came back to take my sister as an apprentice, she practiced the master's exercises, and in less than three years, my sister would be able to fly with a sword. If you want to go out in between, you can only let Senior Sister and Master take you, Ling'er has only just learned to fly with the sword, and she can't take her sister with her. ”

"Can Ling'er tell my sister what cultivation is?"

"Okay. Master said that cultivation is to absorb the aura of heaven and earth into the body, so as to improve one's own body and reach the realm of oneness with heaven and earth, that is, the realm of the unity of heaven and man, so that you can fly to the fairy world. Since then, he has become an immortal, although he cannot be said to be immortal, but he also has a long life. ”

"Hehe, Ling'er is here to be Sister Yun's master?"

At this time, Wei Xiaoxia walked out of the house with a smile, and walked towards the two while making fun of Lin Ling.

"No, it's Sister Yun who wants to know what cultivation is, and Ling'er told Sister Yun what the master said to Ling'er when she first started."

"Sister Yun, what Ling'er said is right, Master said this to us back then."

"Sister Yun, Master also said that not all people can cultivate, and they must be people with spiritual roots to cultivate."

"What is a spiritual root?"

"Sister Yun, the spiritual root is the attribute of the human physique. Everything in the world is composed of the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and people are no exception. The human physique is also divided into the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. Senior sister is a metallic spiritual root, I am an earth-attribute spiritual root, and Ling'er is a wood-attribute spiritual root. ”

"Ling'er just said that not everyone can cultivate, but Sister Wei said that people's physique is divided into the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, doesn't that mean that everyone has a spiritual root?"

"Although people's physique is composed of the five elements, some people's physique is relatively pure, and some people's physique is more mixed. Some people will have more than two spiritual roots at the same time, and some people even have all five elements. It's not that the body has several attributes, it's just that there are several spiritual roots. Whether it is one attribute or multiple attributes, as long as the attribute is pure, it can be cultivated. Those whose attributes are mixed and impure will not be able to cultivate, that is, people who often say that they do not have spiritual roots. ”

"Oh, my sister means that the attribute is pure, so it can be called a spiritual root?"

"yes, that's what it means."

"Then Sister Wei can see if I have a spiritual root?"

Hearing Xia Yun's question, Wei Xiaoxia and Lin Ling shook their heads at the same time, probably afraid that Xia Yun would be sad, Lin Ling said to Xia Yun:

"Although neither I nor the second senior sister can see that my sister has a spiritual root, but when the master left, he clearly instructed the second senior sister that if Sister Yun is willing to stay, after the master returns, Sister Yun will be accepted. From this point of view, Sister Yun must have a spiritual root, but we can't see it. ”

"Ling'er is right, Master said that some people with mutated spirit roots and hidden spirit roots are difficult to see. Presumably Sister Yun is in this situation. I remember that Master also said that people with mutated spirit roots and hidden spirit roots will get twice the result with half the effort when cultivating. ”

"I wonder what level Sister Wei and Sister Ling'er have cultivated now?"

"Ling'er is now in the middle of the Qi Refining Period, and she has just been able to fly with her sword, I am now in the late stage of the Qi Refining Period, and Senior Sister is in the middle of the Foundation Building Period."

"Where's Master?"

"We don't know what level Master is. However, there is such a saying in the cultivation world on this continent: One view of two streams and three gods and beggars, four peace, five stability and six as come. ”

"Sister Wei, what does this mean?"

"This refers to the six top monks on the Snow Plains Continent. One view is Zhang Zhenren who only has three yang views, and Erxi refers to our Bixi Valley, that is, to the master. The three gods refer to Li Fengshan of the game family, Siping refers to Li Ping of Wuliubao, Wuwen refers to Song Qiuwen of Sunset Cliff, and Liurulai refers to the abbot of Zhulin Temple. ”

"I don't know what Master's name is?"

"Outsiders call Master 'Bixi Fairy', and Master calls himself 'Xue Mei'."

For the next three days, Xia Yun had been digesting the information gained from this conversation. It was the first time Xia Yun had heard about cultivation. Especially from Wei Xiaoxia's mouth, Xia Yun felt that in this time and space, there was not only one continent, the "Snow Continent", but also other continents.

Xia Yun woke up on the evening of the fifth day, when he was sitting on the bank of the river with Lin Ling chatting and watching the scenery, Lin Ling and the others' master Xue Mei led the senior sister back. When Lin Ling and Wei Xiaoxia stepped forward to pay homage to Xue Mei, Xia Yun secretly observed and found that Xue Mei was just an ordinary woman in her early thirties. Dressed very ordinarily, if she met outside, Xia Yun would not have thought of anything, she was the famous Bixi Fairy in the "One View and Two Streams" that Wei Xiaoxia said.

After Lin Ling and Wei Xiaoxia finished worshipping, Xia Yun hurriedly stepped forward and knelt on the ground, originally to thank Fairy Bixi and Senior Sister for saving their lives, but Xia Yun, who was kneeling on the ground, didn't know how to call Fairy Bixi for a while. A few days ago, although Lin Ling and Wei Xiaoxia were also called masters, but after all, they had not yet apprenticed, and under the face-to-face, the word "master" was difficult to say.

Fairy Bixi seemed to understand Xia Yun's predicament, reached out and pulled up Xia Yun who only kowtowed on the ground, and asked gently:

"What's your name? Are all the injuries on your body healed? ”

"My name is Xia Yun, my injuries are all healed, thank you ......"

"Hehe, would you like to worship me as a teacher?"

Xia Yun had been waiting for Fairy Bixi's words, and hurriedly knelt down again, kowtowing, and said:

"Disciple Xia Yun, meet Master."

"Get up and meet your senior sister Song Chun. Presumably Xiaoxia and Ling'er are all familiar to you, right? ”

"Xia Yun paid a visit to Senior Sister, thank you Senior Sister for saving her life."

Xia Yun wanted to kowtow to Senior Sister Song Chun again, but was pulled up by Senior Sister.

"Senior sister, don't be so polite, we will be the same senior sisters in the future, so these vulgar rites will be exempted."

"Chun'er is right, don't talk about these etiquettes here. In the future, you are the third apprentice of the teacher, and the four of you are the apprentices of the teacher, so don't assign seats according to the outside sect in order of entry. ”

Immediately, the four senior sisters saw each other again in front of Fairy Bixi, Xia Yun Xingsan, and Lin Ling was still the little junior sister.
