The stars are in the night, the stars are in the moon, and the moon is like a silver plate.

On the top of the cliff, Shen Xiao lay on the grass, holding a dog's tail grass in his mouth, chewing slightly, allowing the faint bitterness to spread in his mouth. Because he lost all his spiritual roots overnight and turned from a genius to a waste, although Shen Xiao was just a teenager, he personally experienced the sadness and helplessness and the pain of being ridiculed and ridiculed, so although his face was immature, there was a trace of vicissitudes missing.

Raising a somewhat white palm, blocking it in front of him, his eyes looked through the gaps between his fingers, looking at the huge silver moon in the sky.

"Alas..."Thinking of the test in the afternoon, Shen Xiao sighed lightly, lazily withdrew his palms, pillowed his head with both hands, and his eyes were a little dazed...

"Sixteen years...... muttered to himself, and suddenly spit out of the young man's mouth without any boundaries.

The sixteen years he said was not that he was sixteen years old, but that he had been in the Canglan Sect for sixteen years.

It suddenly occurred to him that Master Baili Silent had told him that he had picked it up and was an orphan, because he found that there was a "laugh" word printed on his back like a birthmark, so he named him Shen Xiao.

The master took care of and loved him very much, treated him as his own son, made an exception to accept him as a closed disciple, and became the only disciple of the head of the Canglan Sect, coupled with his terrifying cultivation talent, he was born with three spiritual roots, he began to cultivate at the age of seven, and he had seven spiritual roots at the age of ten, and it was soon considered to be the first day since the founding of the Canglan Sect.

However, just five years ago, a young man of his age came up from the mountain, and the young man looked bloodstained and dying, so Shen Xiao took him back to the sect and begged the master to save him.

After the boy woke up, he told Shen Xiao that his parents had been killed and that he had nowhere to go, and if he went down the mountain, he might be chased and killed by the enemy, hoping to stay in the Canglan Sect to cultivate and avenge his parents.

Shen Xiao saw that his background was indeed pitiful, and his sympathy was overflowing, so he begged the master to leave him behind.

So, the boy became a registered disciple of the Canglan Sect, and since then, the two have become good brothers, Shen Xiao has any good things, they will be distributed to the boy, but after a year of cultivation, the boy is too poor in physique, no matter how he cultivates, he can't cultivate a trace of spiritual root, just like him now.

But the young man wanted revenge again, Shen Xiao knew his pain, and Shen Xiao, who valued his affection, rummaged through all the classics of the Canglan Sect, and finally learned that the Canglan Sect had an elixir called the Spirit Marrow Pill, and the classics recorded that the Spirit Marrow Pill was a kind of pill that could change a person's cultivation physique, making people cultivate faster. Shen Xiao asked the master for the Spiritual Essence Pill, but the Master told him that the Spiritual Essence Pill was left by the founding patriarch of the Canglan Sect, although it can change people's cultivation physique, but there is a big shortcoming, this shortcoming The old ancestor did not say, but warned future generations that it was forbidden.

That is to say, no one has ever used the Spirit Marrow Pill, and I don't know what its shortcomings are, and the Canglan Dao people personally instructed them to ban it, so the master did not have his Spirit Marrow Pill for Shen Xiao.

However, in order for the good brother to succeed in his cultivation as soon as possible and take revenge, Shen Xiao still managed to steal the Spirit Sui Pill, and after the Spirit Marrow Pill was successful, Shen Xiao gave it to his good brother and watched him swallow the Spirit Marrow Pill.

The young man who swallowed the Spirit Marrow Pill had a red face, as if he had gone mad, Shen Xiao had a little cultivation at that time, and in a hurry, he put his palms on the back of the young man, and infused the spiritual energy in his body to the young man, and it didn't take long for the effect of the Spirit Marrow Pill to pass.

The young man opened his eyes, but Shen Xiao behind him was already unconscious, and when Shen Xiao woke up, the first thing he found was that he had no seven spiritual roots, and his body was still very weak, as if he had been emptied, but when he saw that his good brother had a spiritual root before he started cultivating, he couldn't help but smile and said: This spiritual marrow pill is really powerful. He was happy in his heart, happy for his brother!

Shen Xiao thought at that time, maybe the Spirit Marrow Pill needed the spiritual energy to urge, so he sucked away his spiritual root, and if the spiritual root was gone, he could cultivate again, with his own talent, within two years, the three spiritual roots would not be a problem.

Later, after the master learned about this, he almost expelled Shen Xiao from the Canglan Sect, Shen Xiao also knew that the matter seemed to be a bit serious, and he also admitted his mistake vigorously, but he felt that it was worth it for the sake of his good brother! At the same time, under the intercession of the little junior sister Zhiruo, he was able to stay, but he canceled all the cultivation resources given to him.

Shen Xiao thought to himself, he had to step up his cultivation, and when he cultivated the spiritual root, the master would not be angry and would forgive himself. But the truth was not as he thought, after insisting on cultivating for a year, he still hadn't cultivated a trace of spiritual root. At this time, there was a sound of scolding, and he regarded him as a father as a master, and because of this, he was counted down and even scolded by some old guys in the sect.

At the same time, the good brother he had always been optimistic about cultivated three spiritual roots, and was favored by the Yanxia Master of the Spirit Peak of the Canglan Sect and accepted as his disciple. However, the relationship between the two is not what it used to be, the young man does not want to fight with Shen Xiao anymore, and when there are many people, he even dares to walk with him, let alone be called a brother.

After that, he rarely interacted with Shen Xiao, and when Shen Xiao was sometimes ridiculed by the disciples of the sect and wanted to chat with him, he said that he would be busy cultivating to avenge his parents, and Shen Xiao also knew what he was carrying, so he didn't care, but it didn't matter if it was once or twice, but it was like this seven or eight times, and even once Shen Xiao saw that he actually called him a brother and sister to those who insulted him, and chatted very happily, Shen Xiao knew that this was the so-called "brother" , it was a punch when he went up, but it was Shen Xiao who was injured in the end, after all, there were many families, and Shen Xiao was still a waste. So, Shen Xiao lay in bed for half a month before he got better, and after that, the two no longer had contact, and the brotherhood was cut off.

Shen Xiao has now become a waste, and that young man is Murong Chuchen, the second day disciple that the Canglan Sect is now vigorously cultivating, and the two brothers who used to be like siblings are now strangers. Through Murong Chuchen, Shen Xiao also knew what it meant to be unancient and warm.

Thinking of these......

"Phew. Spit out the grass roots in his mouth, Shen Xiao suddenly jumped up, his face was hideous, and he roared at the night sky: "What the hell, what brother, it's not the eye of power."

Although he was a little angry and annoyed, he felt that he had stolen the pill for his brother at the beginning and even lost his spiritual root inexplicably, he felt that it was worth it, but the person he was treating was an ungrateful person.

If he hadn't paid attention to the so-called brotherhood, Shen Xiao might have been able to grow bigger and bigger in the name of genius, but unfortunately, at the age of eleven, the name of genius was gradually deprived by sudden changes, and genius also became a waste ridiculed by passers-by overnight!

......

After roaring a few times, Shen Xiao's emotions also slowly calmed down, and his face returned to his usual loneliness again, and at this point, no matter how angry he was, he couldn't recover the spiritual root that he had worked so hard to cultivate.

If you want to blame yourself, you can only blame yourself for being blind, and you actually lost the spiritual root of cultivation because of a scumbag, resulting in the inability to cultivate the spiritual root anymore.

Shaking his head bitterly, Shen Xiao actually felt a little aggrieved in his heart, after all, it was his own willingness.

And what changes have happened in his own body, I don't know, I check on weekdays, but I don't find the slightest wrong, but the speed of absorbing the aura is a few points stronger than the peak state a few years ago, this kind of condition, all show that his talent has never weakened, but those aura that enters the body, but without exception, the aura has disappeared cleanly, and the strange situation makes Shen Xiao sad...

Sighing gloomily, Shen Xiao raised his wrist, there was a lotus-like mark on it, looming, if you weren't careful, you wouldn't find it at all, this lotus mark swallowed the spirit pill from Murong out of the dust, he gave him the spiritual energy after waking up in a coma, he didn't know what was going on, he couldn't get it off, it seemed to be innate, Shen Xiao also thought that his inability to cultivate the spiritual root must be related to this lotus, however, he couldn't find any clues, and this lotus seal has not had any reaction for five years.

Taking a deep breath, Shen Xiao suddenly turned his head and smiled warmly at the dark woods, "Master, are you here?"

Although he didn't have a spiritual root, Shen Xiao's sensory perception was much sharper than that of a master of the Humane Realm, so it was easy to detect a trace of movement in the woods.

"Xiao'er, it's so late, why are you still staying here?" In the woods, after a moment of silence, a man's concerned laughter was heard.

As if a gust of wind was blowing, a middle-aged man came out like a ghost, with a smile on his face, staring at his apprentice standing in the moonlight.

The middle-aged man was dressed in a long cyan shirt, his hair had a little white silk, and he had a lot of fairy wind bones while strolling leisurely, and a pair of sword eyebrows on his face added a bit of immortal energy to it, he was the head of the Canglan Sect, and he was also Shen Xiao's master, the high-level peak of the Heavenly Dao Realm, a hundred miles silent, except for some old ghosts in the sect, the first master of the Canglan Sect!

"Master, haven't you rested yet?" Looking at the middle-aged man, Shen Xiao's smile became even stronger, this master, who regarded himself as a parent, adopted himself and taught him the method of cultivation, after losing the spiritual root, he was not angry about stealing the elixir, but worried that he would not be able to think about losing the spiritual root, and once enlightened himself, and has been researching the elixir and methods that can restore the cultivation of the spiritual root, these Shen Xiao knows it well, and is grateful in his heart.

Shen Xiao also regarded him as if he were his own father.

"Xiao'er, are you still thinking about the afternoon test?" strode forward, Baili laughed silently.

"There's nothing to think about, that's just to be expected. Shen Xiao shook his head, but his smile was a little reluctant.

"Alas..."Looking at Shen Xiao's still somewhat immature and delicate face, Baili sighed silently, was silent for a moment, and said freely: "Time flies so fast, this time, you are sixteen years old, you have grown so big, I vaguely remember that when I picked you up in the snow sixteen years ago, you were still a baby"

Hearing this, Shen Xiao silently, he didn't care much about his life experience, and he had nothing to do.

"If it hadn't happened five years ago, you wouldn't be so decadent now," Baili said with a wry smile.

Shen Xiao took a deep breath and remained silent.

Baili looked at the moon sky silently: "Xiao'er, half a year later is when the Xingchen Cave opens, according to records, there are ancient relics in the Xingchen Cave and the treasures left by the two predecessors who reached the Taishang Realm of my Canglan Sect, when the time comes, you must look carefully, maybe you can get a panacea to restore your physique."

Shen Xiao heard this, and looked at the master suspiciously, he knew that the Xingchen Cave was a mysterious place in the Canglan Sect, and it was said that the reason why the Canglan Sect had such a scenery was entirely because there were immortal treasures in the Xingchen Cave, and the old ancestor of the Canglan Sect was because he strayed into it and obtained an ancient remnant divine scroll, so he cultivated the Tao and established Canglan.

Canglan Zhenren also allowed his disciples to enter the Star Cave to seek treasures, but later there were foreign objects in the Star Cave, and all those who cultivated to pass the human realm were swallowed by it, and some even died directly in it, so the old ancestor of the Canglan Sect set a ban, and a person only had to enter once in his life, and only those who cultivated below the human realm could enter.

Of course, there are also people who consciously cultivate for the great success to forcibly enter, either die tragically in it, or after getting out of the hole, the cultivation is to nothing, and there are people who cultivate to be strong and forcibly enter and come out without anything but to cultivate a few floors up, and there is only one person, that is the legend of the Canglan Gate. Light Dust Daoist, Light Dust Daoist came out to revitalize the sect, through their own experience, but also felt that the Star Cave was indeed weird and dangerous, so he added another ban on the Star Cave by anti-heaven means, the Star Cave opened every eighteen years, and his entrance is uncertain, whether he can find the entrance and enter the inside, it all depends on personal fate and providence.

"Xingchen Cave is a unique existence of the Canglan Sect, but there are strange treasures in it, but only those who are destined can get it, when the teacher went in, he got the spirit marrow pill you stole back then, it was really providential, I don't want the spirit marrow pill to harm you" Baili was silent, his clothes fluttered slightly, although he didn't understand why Shen Xiao didn't have a spirit root, but it was definitely the spirit marrow pill that he did, so he couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart.

"Master doesn't have to worry about not going, it's because the apprentice doesn't listen to what Master says. However, since the Spirit Marrow Pill was obtained in the Star Cave, how did Master know that it was left by the ancestor of the Canglan Sect?"

"This is obtained when I got the Spirit Marrow Pill at that time, and put it in an amethyst box with the Spirit Marrow Pill" Baili silently took out a quick sheepskin from his arms and handed it to Shen Xiao, Shen Xiao looked at it, the words flashing golden light on it turned out to be really left by Canglan Zhenren, to the effect that the Spirit Marrow Pill was refined by Canglan Zhenren out of boredom, although it can change people's cultivation physique, but there are big defects, so they have to refine one, since it has been refined, it has its own reason, and it will be destroyed if there is no reason, so it will be placed in the Star Cave, if the disciples of later generations get this Dan, it should also be banned.

After reading what was said on the sheepskin, Shen Xiao smiled bitterly, this god is really joking.

"Master, when the time comes, I will be careful, I will seize this opportunity" Shen Xiao smiled and comforted, he didn't know if he would be able to find the entrance to the Star Cave by then.

"Well, but you also have to be careful, because the dangers in the Xingchen Cave are stacked and born, and if you are not careful, you will fall into it and cannot get out, and there are more than 10,000 disciples who have died in the cave over the years."

Shen Xiao nodded: "Don't worry, Master, the apprentice will be careful"

In fact, it is better to die in the cave of the stars, and there is a noble name who sacrificed for treasure hunting.

"Of course, this is indeed a chance for you to recover your physique" Baili said silently, he knew that there could be any treasure in the Xingchen Cave, it depends on whether you have that fate, patted Shen Xiao's head, and suddenly smiled: "It's not early, go back and rest, tomorrow, there are guests in the sect, you don't lose your courtesy as my big disciple who is silent for a hundred miles." ”

"Guest, who?" asked Shen Xiao curiously.

"We'll know tomorrow. Baili strolled away silently, leaving a helpless smile.

"Don't worry, Master, I'll do my best!" Looking at the mark on his wrist, Shen Xiao looked up and muttered.

The moment Shen Xiao raised his head, the lotus mark on his wrist suddenly lit up with an extremely faint and strange green light, and the green light disappeared in the blink of an eye, without anyone noticing.
