Chapter 1 The Immortals Choose Their Disciples
South Vietnam.
In July, it was hot.
The huge sun hung over Lin'an County like a fireball, and the billowing heat wave emitted distorted the air.
However, under such a scorching sun, the people of Lin'an County all gathered near a high platform.
On the high platform, several uniformly dressed figures floated up, immortals in the eyes of mortals.
The immortals are here today to collect disciples.
Once selected by the immortals, they can become immortals.
Parents who have school-age children at home do not want to miss this great opportunity to become immortals, and send their children over for the immortals to test.
"The bone age is ten years old, and the three spiritual roots of fire, earth, and gold are qualified."
As the immortal announced in a loud voice, a round little fat man walked up to the high platform with an excited face.
"Yo, isn't that the youngest son of Wang Yuanwai, he can be selected by the immortals, what a blessing!"
The crowd of people who were watching also started talking, and everyone said a word to me, and told the origin of the little fat man.
"Silence!"
Just as the crowd was talking louder and louder, a young man with a sword on the high platform scolded the audience with a serious face.
Suddenly, all the chattering voices in the audience disappeared and became silent.
As soon as the young man with the sword on his back waved his hand, he no longer looked at the crowd under the stage.
The tests continued again.
In the crowd, a little girl dressed in a coarse linen skirt, pale as paper, skinny as if a gust of wind could blow down, her eyes were full of determination, and she said to the man who was supporting her: "Dad, I'm going to test it too!" ”
"Yuxiu, your body..."
The man had a worried look on his face and wanted to say something, but when he saw the determination in his daughter's eyes, he unconsciously choked up when the words came to his mouth.
There is no way out of his daughter's illness, and the most famous doctors in the county say that she has no cure, and she will live in a few years, and I am afraid that only the immortals have a way to save his daughter.
missed this opportunity, and my daughter was afraid that she would have to wait for death.
"Well, be careful yourself!"
The uneasy man gave a few more instructions before letting the little girl go alone.
Under the scorching sun, the little girl took difficult steps and moved to the high platform.
Just a dozen steps away, she also walked very hard.
Sweat was already oozing from her forehead, and every step had used up almost all her strength, but even then she didn't give up.
Her eyes were still swerving, and there was no wavering in her eyes.
Her name is Xu Yuxiu, she is from an ordinary background, and her parents are farming for Xu Yuan's family.
Because the land is planted well, I was fortunate to be rewarded by Xu Yuanwai and gave him the surname Xu.
And she also followed the light, and was given a spiritual name when she was born, Yuxiu.
thought that the family's life was going to get better, but Xu Yuxiu had a strange disease since she was born, and her health deteriorated.
Even the most famous doctor in Lin'an County couldn't tell what kind of disease she had, and said that she didn't have a few years to live.
Xu Yuxiu has never seen her father and mother smile since she was sensible, her father is busy in the fields every day, making money to buy medicine for her, and her mother is almost every day with a sad face, and sometimes secretly wiping her tears.
She saw it all.
She knew that it was all her own disease, she hated her illness, she wanted to live, she didn't want her father and mother to be sad for her anymore, but she had no choice but to be at the mercy of her illness.
This time, I was fortunate enough to meet the immortals who accepted the apprentices, and I heard that the immortals were omnipotent.
She thought in her heart that even if she was not selected by the immortals this time, she would ask the immortals to cure her illness, so that her father and mother would no longer be sad for herself and be happy.
With this thought, even the scorching sun above my head no longer seems to be so hot.
"Next!"
With the announcement of the immortals, Xu Yuxiu finally moved to the immortals in charge of the test with difficulty.
She also saw the appearance of the immortal in charge of the test, a female fairy who looked like she had come out of a painting.
The female cultivator who was in charge of testing the bone age saw Xu Yuxiu standing in front of her, and a different color flashed in her eyes.
"Those who have spiritual roots, even in the world, are rare martial arts wizards, and their physical fitness is naturally excellent, and the appearance of the girl in front of them obviously does not have spiritual roots."
Although she thought so in her heart, the sect had the rules of the sect, so she didn't say anything, but said to the girl in an indifferent tone: "Stretch out your hand." ”
Xu Yuxiu didn't know what the female fairy in front of her was thinking, so she only obediently stretched out her arm, which was barely a tael of flesh.
Immediately she saw the fairy reach out and put it on her right wrist.
The next moment, she felt a warm current enter her body, swimming around her, and the feeling almost made her feel very comfortable.
It was as if the fields that had been dry for a long time were moistened by the rain, and even her pale face was slightly rosy.
However, before she could enjoy it more, the warm current withdrew from her body.
Suddenly, a feeling of emptiness hit her, making her feel very uncomfortable.
"The bone age is seven years old, qualified, and you can go to the spiritual root."
The nun's indifferent voice sounded again.
When Xu Yuxiu heard this, her heart was full of joy, and she walked to the high platform she dreamed of according to the guidance of the female fairy.
After ascending the high platform, she looked at a tall stone monument.
"Just put your hand on the stele."
Xu Yuxiu did not hesitate when she heard this, and reached out and pressed it on the tall stone tablet according to the instructions of the immortal.
Just as she pressed her hand, the stele changed instantly.
I saw that the originally calm stone monument suddenly lit up.
"There is a spiritual root!"
The young man with the long sword on his back couldn't help but show surprise in his eyes when he saw the changes in the stone tablet.
As early as when Xu Yuxiu came to the stage, he was like the previous female disciple who measured Xu Yuxiu's bone age, and felt that it was impossible for Xu Yuxiu to have a spiritual root with his appearance, and he was only going to go through the motions.
"This terminally ill appearance, even if he has a spiritual root, he can't think about how good it is..."
Just when the young man with the sword was secretly thinking like this, the stone tablet reappeared.
I saw that the light that was originally lit on the stone tablet began to divide into two.
One is red, the other is blue, like two swimming dragons flying upwards along the stone monument, and the speed is extremely fast.
"Twin Spirit Roots!"
The pupils of the young man with the back sword shrank, and this was the first double spirit root in this test.
After a while, when the two rays of light, one red and one blue, stayed behind the top of the stone tablet.
The young man with the sword on his back finally showed a look of surprise.
"Perfection quality, her twin spirit roots have actually reached perfection quality!"
Or perceiving the changes on the high platform, the other people who came with the young man with the sword on their backs also cast curious glances.
When they saw the changes on the spirit measuring tablet on the high platform, they couldn't help but show surprise.
"Twin spirit roots, the quality is the number of ninety-nine perfections!"
This....
For a while, several people's eyes were focused on Xu Yuxiu.
Ordinary mortals may not know what Xu Yuxiu's spiritual root represents, but as monks, they know it very well.
The spiritual root is divided into five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and there are various mutated spiritual roots, such as wind, thunder, ice... Wait.
The Five Elements Spiritual Root is the most common, and it is cherished by those who have scarce spiritual roots.
The fewer spiritual roots, the higher the cultivation qualifications, and among them, there are specific spiritual root qualities, the higher the quality of spiritual roots, the better it is compared to others under the same number of spiritual roots.
Like Xu Yuxiu, who has a double spirit root quality of nine feet and nine inches, even if it is compared to a single Heavenly Spirit Root, it is not much better, as soon as he enters the Taixuan Sect, he can become an inner disciple, and he can also worship a Jindan real person.
"Oh, that's not right!"
Just then, an inopportune voice rang out.
