Looking at this scene in front of him, Ling Youdao thought of nine years ago.

It was also a sunny morning, and Ling Yuansheng took him, who was only a little over ten years old, to the Ascension Immortal Valley to test the spiritual root.

Every Qi cultivation stage disciple in the Ascension Immortal Valley would salute when they saw Ling Yuansheng, which immediately attracted the attention of nearly 10,000 children, and they all looked at Ling Yuansheng and the child he was holding in his hand curiously.

Those eyes were full of envy!

However, Ling Youdao was not in the same mood as them.

A few days ago, Ling Yuansheng told him that his parents were both monks, and there was a high chance that he had a spiritual root.

But Ling Youdao was still worried that he didn't have a spiritual root, after all, what Ling Yuansheng said was not 100%, maybe he was unlucky, just without a spiritual root?

The night before the Soul Measurement Conference, he didn't sleep all night, and he prayed to the immortals and Buddhas he knew one by one.

Pray that they bless him with spiritual roots, even if they are the worst five spiritual roots, and each spiritual root is only an inch long, he will not dislike it, as long as he can cultivate the truth.

There is nothing more desperate in the world than the absence of hope!

Whenever he thought that he couldn't cultivate without spiritual roots, he would keep asking himself what was the point of being reborn into this world?

Ling Yuansheng took his hand and walked up to the high platform in the depths of the square, where stood a middle-aged monk dressed the same as Ling Yuansheng.

"There is a way, call Grandpa Seven. ”

When Ling Youdao heard Ling Yuansheng's words, he called out in confusion: "Hello Seventh Grandpa." ”

He later learned that the person he called Seventh Grandpa was Ling Yuanqi, who was the fifth elder of the Cangli Ling clan, ranked seventh in the Yuan character generation, and was now the fifth elder of the Cangli Ling clan.

Among the generations of the Ling family, Ling Yuanqi and Ling Yuansheng have the best relationship and have a lifelong friendship.

Ling Yuansheng said helplessly: "This kid was worried about his lack of spiritual roots a few days ago. ”

"Fifth brother, didn't you and I come over like this at the beginning, besides, I'm afraid you're not as easy as Youdao now, right?"

Hearing this, Ling Yuansheng smiled bitterly.

He already loved this little grandson very much, and naturally hoped that he would have a spiritual root to be able to cultivate the truth.

"Fifth brother, don't worry, let Youdao test it for the first time later. ”

"Seventh brother, don't worry, let's follow the rules of the family, so as not to gossip. ”

"Oh well. ”

Ling Yuansheng took Ling Youdao's hand and walked to the side of the square, and after a while, the spirit measurement conference began.

Starting from the longhouse, children walked up to the platform one by one, but few of them came down with a smile.

Ling Youdao looked at the child on the spiritual platform tightly, his eyes were full of curiosity about the spiritual root, so much so that he forgot his worries.

Long, 2, 3 ......

Ling Yuanqi suddenly shouted loudly: "Next, Qifang, Ling Youdao." ”

Hearing this, Ling Youdao was stunned for a moment, and then reacted.

Ling Yuansheng patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Go ahead." ”

He nodded, and walked onto the platform.

A middle-aged man whispered, "Put your hand on it." ”

"Oh. ”

Ling Youdao followed the man's words, put his right hand on the spirit measuring platform, and then saw that the two middle-aged men were busy for a while.

"Five Elders, it's ready"

Ling Yuanqi waved his hand, signaling the two to step aside, and he himself came to the spirit platform.

"Don't be afraid. ”

"Hmm. ”

I saw Ling Yuanqi inject a trace of mana into the spirit measuring platform, and the spiritual measuring platform was activated, and three pillars of light shot out in an instant, blue, blue and red.

"Great, I have a spiritual root, and I can also cultivate immortals. Ling Youdao shouted in his heart.

Ling Yuansheng's clenched hand finally let go, and at the same time, there was a smile on his face.

"Remember! Qifang Ling has three spiritual roots of water, wood and fire, five inches of water, five inches of wood, and six inches of fire. ”

Someone sat at the desk and waved a pen to record, Ling Yuanqi said: "You can put your hand down." ”

Ling Youdao withdrew his hand. The three pillars of light, black, blue and red also disappeared in an instant.

"Yes, the three spirit roots of water, wood and fire, of which the fire spirit root has reached six inches. ”

What five inches or six inches, Ling Youdao is in the clouds.

But he knew one thing, that is, he had a spiritual root, and he was able to cultivate the truth like those people on Qingcang Mountain.

He rushed down the spiritual platform and said impatiently: "Grandpa, I have a spiritual root, and I can also cultivate the truth." ”

Ling Yuansheng stroked his head and said with a smile: "There are many monks in the land of Beihai, and there are few monks with fire spirit roots, but I didn't expect you to not only have a fire spirit root, but also reach six inches, grandpa's alchemy skills are considered to be successors, hahahaha......."

After testing the spiritual root, he entered the family school of the Cangli Ling clan, and began to systematically understand the world, understand the cultivation of immortals, various cultivation skills of immortals, and so on.

Ling Yuansheng wanted to pass on his alchemy skills to Ling Youdao, but Ling Youdao only thought about cultivation and couldn't show any interest in alchemy at all, or he chose strength.

Ling Yuansheng refused to give up, he took coercive measures, forcing Ling Youdao to memorize a lot of knowledge about elixir and alchemy.

Therefore, although Ling Youdao does not know alchemy, he understands alchemy.

Time passed slowly in the memories, and Ling Yuanxing on the soul measuring platform said, "Seven rooms, Ling Renxin." ”

Ling Youdao came back to his senses, looked at Ling Renxin and smiled, "Renxin, you go." ”

The little one nodded, and walked up to the platform.

When Ling Yuanxing activated the spirit measuring platform, four pillars of light, blue, white, yellow and blue shot out.

Ling Renyi waved his hand happily, "Third uncle, my brother has a spiritual root. ”

Ling Youdao also smiled and nodded.

"Remember, Qifang Ling Renxin water, wood, gold and earth have four spiritual roots, four inches of water, two inches of wood, one inch of gold, and one inch of soil. ”

"Next, Qifang Ling Renyi. ”

Ling Youdao looked at his nephew, "Renyi, it's your turn." ”

Ling Renyi nodded, and then ran to the platform in a hurry.

"Renyi, come on, you must also have a spiritual root, and we will cultivate immortals together in the future. ”

Ling Renxin clenched his fists, turned around and walked off the platform.

When Ling Yuanxing activated the spirit platform, three pillars of light, yellow, white and blue shot out.

Seeing this, Ling Youdao was also slightly excited, and Ling Renxin was even more dancing.

Ling Yuanxing was a little surprised, there were two children from the Qifang lineage, but he didn't expect that the two children would have spiritual roots.

But he quickly calmed down, "Remember, the seven rooms are Ling Renyi, and the earth, gold, and water are three spiritual roots." Five inches of earth, three inches of gold, and one inch of water. ”

"Next ......"

On the side of the square, the two little guys are chasing after me, and they are very happy!

"Okay, let's go back, your mother is still waiting!"

"Yes, Third Uncle. ”

The three of them rode the paper crane back to the seven-room compound, and when the two sisters heard that their son had a spiritual root, tears fell instantly.

Ling Youdao comforted him with kind words for a while, and instructed: "Since the two little ones have spiritual roots and can cultivate immortals, then they will have to enter the clan for five years, and it will be difficult for you to see each other a few times a year in these five years." ”

Qingcang Mountain is vast, and the distance between the seven-room compound and the Cangli Ling clan is not far, so it is easy for monks to travel back and forth between the two places.

But for ordinary mortals, crossing two places can be described as a life of death.

"Understood, understood. ”

Ling Youdao nodded, and then walked out of the seven-room compound, he was going to give good news to Ling Yuansheng who was in the medicine house.
