Datang, on a certain peak on the periphery of the Taixu Mountains in Yuezhou, a young man with a look of fifteen or sixteen was leaning against the trunk of a towering tree.

The young man's facial features are delicate, his skin is slightly dark, and his body is thin, which looks slightly weak.

He sat there, a tattered book in his hand, reading with relish, shaking his head and reading.

"Blood Moon Fruit, the fruit is oval, resembling a full moon, ripe maroon-red, cold moon flower, snow-white, growing in a cold environment, Golden Cloud Ginseng, golden ginseng, exudes a strange fragrance, ······" The boy read and read and sighed.

"Pseudo-spiritual root, there is no hope of basically building a foundation, the sect does not pay attention to it, Shi Yue, you can only be a low-level disciple who collects medicine, and you can barely survive by changing a few spirit stones every month, and there is no hope in building a foundation? The boy smiled self-deprecatingly, put down the book in his hand, looked at the world in the distance, and was stunned.

This book records some low-level herbs, which are the relics of his father's mother, and he has read them I don't know how many times, not to mention reciting them backwards, and they are not much different.

The world where Shi Yue is located is called Xingsha Continent, and everyone in this world is looking forward to becoming a cultivator.

Those who cultivate the truth, cultivate the truth through the false, learn the Tao and practice, seek the true self, and remove the false and retain the truth as "cultivating the truth", and the first step in cultivating the truth is to refine qi.

The so-called Qi refining, simply put, is to exhale the aura of heaven and earth, guide the aura into the body, and refine the aura of heaven and earth.

However, not everyone can become a cultivator, only with a spiritual root can they sense the aura of heaven and earth, and only then can they become a cultivator.

What the spiritual root is, no one can explain it clearly, it is innate, if a person does not have a "spiritual root", then don't think about cultivating the truth, because you can't sense the spiritual energy at all, let alone cultivate the mana!

But there are too few people born with "spiritual roots" among ordinary people, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are one in a million.

According to the division of attributes, the "spiritual root" is divided into five element attributes such as metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

Although these people can also sense the aura of heaven and earth, the effect of their cultivation can be said to be miserable, basically they can only cultivate to the fourth or fifth level of qi refining, and they will not move forward an inch, and generally speaking, there is no hope of crossing the foundation building period in their lives.

Therefore, a spiritual root with four or even five attributes is also called a "pseudo-spiritual root" in the cultivation world, which is different from a "true spiritual root" that only has two or three attributes and can be cultivated relatively quickly.

The boy is the pseudo spiritual root owner of the five spiritual roots, in the world of cultivating immortals, the owner of the five spiritual roots is synonymous with waste wood, no sect will accept the cultivators of the five spiritual roots as disciples, if it weren't for Shi Yue's parents who were the monks of the Taixu Sect before their deaths, and once made a great contribution, Shi Yue would have been expelled from the sect long ago.

In addition to the true spiritual root and the pseudo-spiritual root, there is also a kind of "mutated spiritual root", the so-called "mutated spiritual root", which refers to the spiritual root of two or three attributes mixed together, and the spiritual root that is mutated and sublimated.

For example, the "Thunder Spirit Root" produced by the mutation of the "Golden Spirit Root" and the "Water Spirit Root"; The "Ice Spirit Root" produced after the mutation of "Earth Spirit Root" and "Water Spirit Root", as well as the "Wind Spirit Root" produced after the mutation of "Earth Spirit Root" and "Fire Spirit Root".

The cultivators of the "Mutated Spiritual Root" have a faster cultivation speed than the cultivators of the True Spiritual Root, and if they can find exercises that match their attributes, most of these people will be great masters, and they can generally top three or four ordinary cultivators of the same strength.

As for the single spiritual root with only one attribute, it is called "Heavenly Spirit Root" by the cultivation world, which means the darling of the heavens, and a cultivator with this kind of spiritual root, no matter what the attribute is, his cultivation speed is two to three times that of an ordinary cultivator, and when he cultivates to the peak of the foundation building period, he does not need to face the bottleneck he faced when he stepped into the knot, and he can easily form the knot.

If the cultivation speed is extremely fast, which makes other cultivators very envious, then the "Heavenly Spirit Root" people can form a pill without a bottleneck, which makes other cultivators vomit blood with jealousy.

You must know that if only one of the ten Qi Refining Stage cultivators can enter the Foundation Building Stage with the help of the pill, then one of the hundred Foundation Building Stage cultivators may not be able to successfully form the Pill and enter the Foundation Formation Period.

With such a disparity in the proportion of knots, how could it not make other cultivators blush at the unique wealth of the "Heavenly Spirit Root".

Therefore, whenever a Heavenly Spirit Root person appears, it is often frantically scrambling by various cultivation sects, after all, this is equivalent to booking a great master for the sect to set up a knot period, which can greatly increase the strength of the sect.

The Taixu Sect has been established for tens of thousands of years, and it has not accepted a single Heavenly Spirit Root owner as an apprentice, but there are a few disciples of the Alien Spirit Root, these disciples are hidden by the Taixu Sect as treasures, and they spend a lot of resources to carefully cultivate, and rarely appear in front of others.

The wealth of the earth law is the four indispensable cultivation elements for cultivators to attain the Tao and seek the truth!

The earth refers to the place of cultivation, and the Taixu Sect where Shi Yue is located is one of the five major immortal cultivation sects in the Tang Dynasty, and the mountain gate is naturally built on the spiritual veins with abundant spiritual energy.

Although Shi Yue is only a disciple of the Qi refining period, the place where he cultivates is also built on the spiritual vein, although the spiritual energy is not particularly strong, it is still no problem to use it for meditation and cultivation.

Fa refers to the exercises, the Taixu Sect is one of the five major sects of cultivating immortals, and the number of exercises is naturally not comparable to those small families who cultivate the truth and the scattered cultivators.

Shi Yue's cultivation of the Taixu Technique is one of the several basic exercises of the Taixu Sect, although the cultivation speed is not particularly fast, but the victory is stable, more than half of the disciples of the Taixu Sect in the Qi refining period are cultivating the Taixu Technique, and many disciples have cultivated to the foundation building period with the Taixu Technique, which can be seen that the Taixu Technique is still relatively good.

When Shi Yue's parents were still there, there were many beautiful sisters and sisters who circled around him, but when his parents went out and died, these sisters and sisters never took care of him again, and some even sneered at Shi Yue.

What's even more annoying is still to come, Shi Yue's original mansion was his parents' mansion, but after his parents were killed, the sect immediately took the cave back and drove him to live on a mountain peak with weak aura.

In this regard, Shi Yue was helpless in addition to grief and indignation, and after this incident, Shi Yue also saw all the states in the world and the warmth and coldness of the world.

The last wealth refers to the magic weapon of the spirit stone, the currency used by the cultivator is the spirit stone, Shi Yue's parents were killed when he went out on an expedition when he was a child, and the property was carried with him, and he did not leave anything of value for Shi Yue.

Therefore, when Shi Yue was kicked out of his parents' cave, it is not an exaggeration to say that he was poor and white.

Without his parents to rely on, Shi Yue's life is very hard, according to the regulations of the Taixu Sect, disciples below the tenth level of Qi refining must complete a certain task every month, otherwise don't want to get a spirit stone from the Deacon Palace, those who do not complete a task in a year will be expelled from the sect, the Taixu Sect will not raise idlers, of course, if you have someone behind you, it is different.

In desperation, Shi Yue could only go to the deacon's hall to receive the task, but the deacon Wang who assigned the task was notoriously greedy for money, and Shi Yue did not have a spirit stone to bribe Deacon Wang, so the most painful and tiring tasks were assigned to Shi Yue.

Shi Yue had to spend more than half a month to complete the tasks assigned by Deacon Wang, and he didn't have much time to cultivate at all, and at the age of sixteen, he was only a second-level qi refiner, and he had always been a negative teaching material for his fellow disciples.

The qualifications of the five spirit roots are there, the sect will not waste resources on Shi Yue at all, and for a disciple with qualifications like him, the sect is just providing him with a place to shelter, and even more.

"It's the end of the month in a few days, if you can't pick five ten-year-old red sandalwood flowers, it is estimated that there is not a single spirit stone, why don't you go into the depths of the mountain range and take a look?" Shi Yue muttered to himself, a hesitant look on his face.

Before the end of the month, five ten-year-old red sandalwood flowers were picked, this was the task assigned to Shi Yue by Deacon Wang, and there was a reward of ten spirit stones for completing the task on time, and if it was overdue, two or three spirit stones would be deducted by the black-hearted Deacon Wang.

Shi Yue thought about it, and finally planned to go into the depths of the mountain range to find the elixir.

Over the years, the elixirs on the periphery of the Taixu Mountain Range have been picked up, not to mention the elixirs of ten years of medicinal age, and even the five-year-old ones are rare.

The Taixu Mountain Range is located in the northwest direction of the Taixu Sect, thousands of miles longitudinal and horizontal, and there are many high-grade elixirs growing in the depths of the mountain range, most of these elixirs are guarded by demon beasts, from the first level to the second level of demon beasts.

Some people go into the depths of the mountain range to pick up high-grade elixirs in exchange for a large amount of spirit stones to cultivate, and some people encounter demon beasts when they collect medicines, and they die or die, whether they are dead or alive, it depends on their personal strength and luck.

Shi Yue was already sixteen years old, and the little spirit stone he earned every month was not enough for him to buy a bottle of Qi Refining Dispersion, and he didn't want to be a low-level disciple for the rest of his life, which made people look down on.

For the sake of the future, for the future, he intends to fight.

Shi Yue took a deep breath, got up and stood up, slapped the storage bag on his waist with his palm, and a green leaf the size of a zhang flew out of it, suspended a few feet above the ground.

This is a low-grade flying magic weapon in the hands of the Taixu Sect, and the flight speed is average.

Shi Yue jumped up, and a magic duel hit the cyan leaf at his feet.

The cyan leaves suddenly burst into blue light, carrying Shi Yue into the distance.

Half an hour later, Shi Yue landed on an open field.

A hundred meters ahead was a dense jungle, quiet, not even a single bird's call.

Shi Yue slapped the storage bag on his waist with his palm, and a red short sword flew out of it and landed in his hand.

The red short sword is called the Red Moon Sword, and it is a high-grade magic weapon.

Shi Yue held the Red Moon Sword in his hand and slowly walked towards the dense forest in front of him.

It didn't take long for Shi Yue to seem to sense something, stopped, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and looked at a cyan giant tiger in front of him with a solemn expression.

The cyan giant tiger was half a zhang tall, two zhang long, covered with cyan scales, and its green eyes stared at Shi Yue.
