Tailing Mountain. It belongs to the Longfeng Mountain Range and is a branch of it, accounting for almost one-seventh of the boundary of the Longfeng Mountain Range.

Due to the abundant spiritual energy, the location is biased towards the human boundary, and the mountains are vast. Therefore, there are three forces to occupy this place and take root and establish a sect. With a long history, the development of these three sects is also thriving, just like three rounds of scorching sun shining over Tailing Mountain.

These three rounds of scorching sun are respectively "Earth Spirit Sect", "Star Gate", and "Valley of Ten Thousand Ghosts".

It is said that the sect masters of these three major sects are all in the realm of heavenly immortals, and they all have the power to burn mountains and boil seas. They are all real celestial and human spirit clans, and there are countless disciples under them, and the three major sects are like a Tailing furnace, standing firmly in the three directions of Tailing Mountain.

In the vicinity of Tailing Mountain, there are thousands of miles of rise, scattered with some towns, and the people of Li rely on the Tailing River conceived by Tailing Mountain, and live and work in peace and contentment. And those ordinary human beings who do not have spiritual roots can only reproduce from generation to generation, hoping that their future generations can be born to obtain spiritual roots, enter the sect, and then cultivate spiritual qi and become heavenly beings.

The spiritual root is divided into nine grades, the first class is secondary, and the ninth class is holy. And for thousands of years, it has been recorded that people who have obtained ninth-grade spiritual roots at birth are really rare. If a person from a family is born with fresh blood and has obtained a fifth-grade spiritual root, as long as he is cultivated well, he may not be able to step into the realm of heavenly immortals in the future.

In the world of ethereal spirits, spirits are the mainstay. Spiritual roots can be born, or they can be inspired by natural treasures. With the spiritual root, you have the cultivation qualification.

But once the vast majority of human races are born, the spiritual roots are all from one to three grades. And the innate unborn spiritual root, which is stimulated by the acquired external object, is rarely more than the fourth level. However, as long as you are born with a spiritual root, you can be regarded as having a spirit in your ancestors, which is enough to improve the status quo of an ordinary human family.

And the "three sect selections" here in Tailing Mountain, that is, among these ordinary human races, select the seeds of the younger generation who were born with spiritual roots, and include them in the sect, so as to cultivate them and strengthen the strength of the sect. And if there is a young man or girl with a spiritual root in the ordinary human race, when they enter the sect to cultivate, they can not only get the spiritual elixir reward of the sect, but also obtain the heavenly and earthly treasures that prolong their lives.

At the foot of Tailing Mountain, there is a Tailing Town, surrounded by green waters and green mountains. The people of Tailing Town, who have been collecting medicine for a living for generations, often organize teams to enter the primitive land of Tailing Mountain to collect elixir materials. Although Tailing Mountain was divided and guarded by the three major forces, in the depths of Tailing Mountain, there were few sects intervening in the border with the Dragon and Phoenix Tomb. At the junction of the mountain ranges, the fierce spirit beasts often run away, and occasionally ordinary human beings who do not open their eyes enter it, and when they encounter the attack of the spirit beasts, they die instead.

The Longfeng Tomb, close to Tailing Mountain, also belongs to one of the branches of the Longfeng Mountain Range. Although this mountain does not have the intervention of the forces of the Heavenly and Human Spirit Clans, it is said that it is guarded by divine beasts whose strength is comparable to that of the three major sects of Tailing Mountain. It is said that the dragon and phoenix mound was once a place where a god and phoenix cultivated, and the specific details, due to the age, cannot be examined in the Tailing classics. There is only a description of "the phoenix is nirvana, and it does not die". It's just that word of mouth has been passed down from generation to generation, and people usually go to the junction at most, and they don't want to set foot again. Therefore, the dragon and phoenix mound has become a real home for inaccessible spirit beasts. And the people of Tailing Town, every time when the "Three Sects Selection" comes, they will organize people to go to the boundary close to the Dragon and Phoenix Tomb to find elixir consumables and make elixirs, and use them in the younger generation of their own families, hoping to stimulate the growth of spiritual roots as soon as possible, and enter that sect to glorify their ancestors.

Generally speaking, if you are over 15 years old, you cannot be called young. And if you are over fifteen years old, if you are not born with a spiritual root, even if you have a spiritual root stimulated through the elixir the day after tomorrow, you will not be accepted by any sect. This unspoken rule has existed since ancient times. Because, the ordinary human race who gave birth to the spiritual root after the age of fifteen will only think that the limit of their strength in the future is only the realm of ordinary heaven and man.

Fu Tian, this year is just fifteen.

He has been following the medicine collection unit in Tailing Town for five years. In the first year after he was born, his parents went into the mountains to collect medicine, but disappeared into the vast mountains. No bones were found, and for fifteen years, there was no news.

Fu Tian's grandfather was the leader of the town clan of Tailing Town's generation, and he brought him up to the age of ten, but he also died due to his advanced age. Fu Tian often thought in his heart: "I was born without spiritual roots, and the path of cultivation in this life is afraid that it will not be as long as this Tailing River." ”

The leader of the medicine collection team this year is a close friend of Grandpa Fu Tian. The old man's name is Fu Hua, known as Fu Lao, his strength is the Seven Turns of Heaven and Human Realm, and he is very kind. Since Fu Tian's grandfather passed away, Fu Lao took Fu Tian over to live together. Fu Lao often said to Fu Tian with a smile: "Xiao Tian'er, when your grandfather Hua collects enough elixir materials, he will open a spiritual root for you." "When you open the spiritual root, you will go to the spiritual sect to cultivate like my little Xue'er. ”

But for five years, every time he used the best elixir to open the spirit, Fu Tian's spiritual root never appeared.

If you never had it, it seems that you have been forgotten by the world at the beginning.

"Sister Fu Xue, she should enter the Heavenly and Human Realm now, right?" The medicine collection team headed towards the depths of Tailing Mountain, and Fu Tian, who was carrying a medicine collection tool on his back, turned his head sideways and asked Fu Lao.

"Ahem... Xiao Xue'er, a while ago, I sent a message that they were all three-turn celestials..."The old man coughed lightly, looking at Fu Tian with cloudy eyes: "Xiao Tian'er, you don't have to feel unfair about your fate... Heaven is blessed, although in the past fifteen years, countless elixirs have not stimulated your spiritual root, it does not mean that it will not appear later..."Although you do not have a spiritual root, but we still have this opportunity this year, if it is not for the elixir has a year use limit, the old man is willing to bring all the spiritual materials in the medicine library to you to take, to see if you can stimulate your spiritual root." Fu Lao said slowly.

The acquired stimulation of the spiritual root can only be used once every other year. If you use too much, for the younger generation, your meridians may be broken and your consciousness destroyed.

"Others say that I was born with a ninth-grade spiritual root as holy, but what kind of door am I, I have been born for fifteen years, and the spiritual root has not been seen, but has become an elixir jar, if it weren't for my born with a keen sense, I really don't know how to spend the past ten years. ”

Fu Tian stopped talking, he walked forward lightly, and said slowly in his heart.

"If it weren't for my Fu Tiantian being handsome and martial, he would have a dignified appearance. I should have committed suicide in shame. ”

Indeed, Fu Tian is in this Tailing Town, among the younger generation, in terms of appearance, he is definitely the peerless Pan An among men.

It's a pity that if there is no spiritual root, the spiritual energy is weak and cannot be cultivated, which is equivalent to the ants of this ethereal spirit world.

In the depths of Tailing Mountain, a group of men and horses marched forward in an orderly manner, often guarding against the spirit beasts in the mountain range. Not far away, there was an occasional beast roar, alarming the trees, but it was peaceful.

Although Fu Tian has no spiritual root, his divine sense is indeed very keen. But what is the use of a keen divine sense? It is nothing more than being able to predict the danger in advance in this medicine collection team, and if they really encounter a powerful spirit beast, or even a divine beast, this group of people and horses will not play any role at all. However, it is because Fu was born with a keen sense of divine sense, since he was ten years old, he stepped into the medicine collection team into the mountain with the team, and in a few years, relying on the different divine perception of ordinary people, he avoided many dangers and did not cause a single casualty. In the Tailing Mountain medicine collection team, the strongest person is Fu Lao, the seventh-turn heavenly realm.

Ethereal World, deep in Tailing Mountain.

"Grandpa Hua, it seems that something is flying over!" Fu Tianpan sat under an ancient tree in the forest, and the team rested here.

"Everyone, hurry up and hide, it may be a Canglong Eagle!" As Fu Lao spoke, he took out a few silver leaves from the storage bag on his waist and distributed them to everyone, only to see that everyone took out the flint, and the leaves were ignited, emitting a faint halo, enveloping the centaurs in it, and in just a few seconds, the team of centaurs disappeared as if out of thin air, hiding in place.

This leaf is born from the hundred-year-old Divine Hidden Tree, and it has the effect of concealing itself. The Sacred Hidden Tree generally grows on the top of the great river, feeds on clouds and mist, and it is generally difficult for ordinary people to find its traces. Fortunately, the ancestors of Tailing Town were blessed, and the ancestors dug up one hundreds of years ago, but it was a pity that it was still a hundred-year-old tree, and only thousands of Shenyin silver leaves were taken, and then the tree withered, and the rare treasure dissipated, leaving only this part of the silver leaves handed down by the ancestors later.

The sacred hidden tree has ten years of green leaves, a hundred years of silver leaves, and more than three hundred years, the leaves are golden. The concealment effect of gold leaf is several times that of silver leaf. It is said that the 500 or even 1,000-year-old Divine Hidden Tree has its leaves turned into a crystal color, and it can also bear the Divine Hidden Fruit. If you are lucky enough to take a Divine Hidden Fruit to refine and absorb it, as long as your mind moves, you can hide yourself in situ without being discovered. It's a pity that such a treasure has a certain spirituality, and it is too difficult to find the mountain tops hidden in the depths of the river all the year round.

Having said that, even if you hide in place, if you encounter an opponent who is too much stronger than you, it will not help either. But it is enough to dodge this Canglong Eagle, whose strength is no more than that of the Nine Turns Heavenly Man.

Fu Tian hid in the halo of silver leaves. I saw that the blue dragon eagle hovered over the trees for a few weeks, and suddenly swooped down, and the eagle hook grabbed a snow-white and fat spirit rabbit on the ground, and enjoyed it frantically. When Fu Tian saw this, he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. He had already discovered that spirit rabbit, but unfortunately he was preempted by this damn Canglong Eagle.

"Forget it, I'll let you be a master. Fu Tian muttered in his heart.

If someone heard what Fu Tian was thinking, he would definitely laugh unscrupulously. You don't even have a spiritual root, how can you talk about "letting"? Canglong Eagle has evolved to that higher level, and its strength is comparable to the level of an earth immortal. The head in front of him is obviously in the juvenile stage, but his strength has also reached the realm of the Nine Turns of Heaven and Man. It only needs to pat the eagle's claws, and ten Fu Tian is not enough to count.

After eating the spirit rabbit, the blue dragon eagle looked around, and his body did not move. A moment later, it let out an eagle's chirp, and in a few dodges, it flew up into the trees and disappeared into the sky.

successfully escaped, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Continue to march towards the depths of the border with the dragon and phoenix mound.

Three days later. After some trekking, everyone came to the area near the junction of the dragon and phoenix mound.

"Everyone, our Tailing Town has been collecting medicine for a living for generations, and this year is the "Three Selections" of our Tailing Mountain, our big guys must first take care of their own safety, and now, you can scatter around here and collect medicine by yourself. If you encounter the materials of the elixir, I hope that you will give priority to the old man. Fu Lao said. When Fu Tian heard this, his heart was full of emotion. Only the newer the elixir material above the grade, can refine the best effect that can stimulate the birth of the spirit root. Elixir consumables are divided into upper, middle and lower grades, and above the top grade, it is said that there are spiritual medicinal materials, but they are extremely rare, so there is no expectation. Feeling Fu Lao's love for Fu Tian, everyone agreed and dispersed.

This ordinary human medicine collection team is working hard in this high mountain and dense forest, hoping that the elixir consumables can be exchanged for some spirit coins, and also thinking that they can exchange the acquired spiritual roots for the younger generation of their own clan.

Tens of thousands of miles to the north, the Holy Demon Spirit Clan, the Nine Elders' Mansion.

"Little apprentice grandson, the escape of our clan's demon pillar spirit, you should keep an eye on it, this time the experience of leaving the clan is very difficult, and when you encounter other races, you can't be careless. ”

"Yes, Master. ”

The Nine Elders' eyes flickered, and they looked at the young man in front of him who was about the same age as Fu Tian.

This young man is naturally the Nine Elders' disciple grandson, Mo Nan.
