Chapter 1: The Awakening of the Quenching Spirit
In the human world, dark clouds swept over the entire Qingzhou sky, thunder and lightning were exchanged with rulers, and lightning loomed like a sharp sword, as if the sky was split into powder, like a scene of the end of the world, which was extremely terrifying.
This scene has been going on for several years, and every time the moon is full, the sky is shrouded in dark clouds, accompanied by lightning and thunder, and after an hour the clouds subside, and the heavens and the earth return to their original appearance, as if nothing had happened.
The strange scene caused the people of the Terran to talk about it, and even extended to the destruction of the Terran Race, and the rumors caused the people of Qingzhou to panic and beg the spiritual cultivators of all factions of the Terran to save the Terran from danger.
"Boom"
The dazzling lightning accompanied by the deafening thunder suddenly sounded, and the kneeling man in the ancestral hall was nervous, he was wearing a white robe, his face was bloodless, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked at the spiritual position in front of him hollowly, tears had already dried up on his cheeks, and his mouth kept saying:
"Pity the weak......"
This man's surname is Bai Yifeng, and he is the eldest son of the head of the Bai family in Cheongju.
The white candle flame next to the spiritual seat was swayed by the breeze, and the white cloth hanging from the roof beam fluttered with the wind from time to time, which looked extremely gloomy, and people couldn't help but feel a little cold.
"Wow-wow" There was a cry of a baby crying from outside the ancestral hall, Bai Yifeng was pulled to his senses by the cry, his eyes flashed, he looked back suddenly, and slowly got up and walked outside the hall.
He lowered his head slightly, and saw a baby boy lying on the stone steps, he couldn't help but look slightly stunned, and slowly picked up the baby, the baby's eyes were glazed color, extremely clear and clear, and it was strange that he stopped crying after seeing Bai Yifeng.
He looked around and found no one who abandoned the baby, and then took the baby boy back to the ancestral hall, but he didn't realize that somewhere, a figure quietly disappeared.
Bai Yifeng shook the swaddling baby boy and looked at the spirit card in front of him stupidly, and barely squeezed out a little smile on his cheeks and said:
"It's a pity for the weak, this child appeared in my Baifu for no reason, is it because God can't bear to let me die alone and pity me, you see that this child is so handsome, and his eyes are as clear as water is no different from you!"
The baby boy babbled and laughed as if he could understand what it meant.
Bai Yifeng looked at each other and smiled, in his opinion, the baby boy seemed to be the embodiment of weakness, he gently kissed the baby boy's cheek, and then thought for a while, after a while, Bai Yifeng's eyes lit up and murmured:
"It's better to take the name Baichen, the world is independent, the dust is not clean, small as dust, as big as the world!"
......
Time flies, time flies, the former Bai family has long since transformed into a famous family in Qingzhou, and Bai Yifeng has also inherited his father's mantle and become the current patriarch of the Bai family.
With the growing prestige of the family, the brothers and brothers who left due to the decline of the family in the past have rushed back, wanting to get a piece of the cheese, and as the family grows, the Bai family has to move to the new mansion.
In the middle of the day, in the backyard garden, there is a relatively empty green grass, and on the grass lies a handsome young man, his eyes slightly closed and bathing in the warmth of the sun.
The young man's surname is Bai, independent according to his legacy, and he is ten years old.
"Dust, dust!"
A slightly vicissitudes of life voice sounded beside him, and a middle-aged man Xu Xing shouted softly beside Bai Chen.
Bai Chen's familiar voice woke up, and when he saw his father standing beside him, he quickly got up and patted the grass sticky behind him, and asked:
"Daddy, why are you here!"
The middle-aged man was dressed in a green robe, with a thick smile on his face, he stroked Bai Chen's head and smiled:
"Chen'er, tomorrow is the awakening ceremony of the family, Daddy hopes that you can become a monk in the future, and in the future, you will have the ability to inherit the huge family business of the Bai family and carry forward the Bai family!"
Bai Chen patted his chest and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, Daddy, I will become a monk in the future, and I will definitely carry forward our Bai family's industry!"
"Good, good!"
Bai Yifeng was smiling, and he was very happy to see that Bai Chen could have this heart.
In Cheongju, if a family can train a spiritual monk, it will directly establish the status of the family in Cheongju.
The first step in the path of spiritual monks is to open up the spiritual veins of the body, stimulate the awakening of the spiritual source in the body, collect the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for their own use, and then enter the spiritual realm, just like planting a bud in the body, with the help of absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the treasures of heaven and earth, the sprout will grow into an ancient tree towering to the sky, and then cultivate into a Mahayana by itself.
However, not all of the Quenching Soul Sources are suitable for cultivating spiritual skills, and the single-line Quenching Soul is an ordinary Quenching Spirit, and cultivation is inseparable from the innate comprehension itself.
However, the multi-line quenching spirit is the inferior quenching spirit, because the containing system is more mixed, when cultivating, each department field cannot focus due to the spiritual power of the heaven and earth, and the cultivation is naturally slow, and the number of departments is easy to produce mutual exclusion, and it is destined not to achieve anything on the way to cultivation.
The spiritual techniques required for different quenching spiritual sources are also different, and they need to be cultivated with spiritual skills that are consistent with the quality of quenching spirits.
If Bai Chen can awaken a relatively good quenching spirit, he will be able to go further on the path of cultivation, and if he can become a top spiritual cultivator, he will lead the Bai family to the peak of prosperity and stand at the top of all families in Cheongju, which is why Bai Yifeng has expectations for Bai Chen.
At night, the silver jade plate hangs high in the starry sky, and everything is so silent.
Bai Chen lay on his side on the bed, tossing and turning and unable to sleep, tomorrow's awakening ceremony is very important to him, as the only heir of his father, although he is the legitimate heir of the Bai family in the future, he must also have strong enough strength to take on this important responsibility, if in the future patriarch ceremony, he fails to achieve something in the cultivation path, the patriarch inheritance may not be able to be with me, and then Daddy's life's work will fall into the hands of others.
After thinking about it, Bai Chen had to stretch his body and mind, lie flat on the bed to empty his distracting thoughts, and gradually fell asleep.
In the early morning of the next day, a banging knock on the door woke up Bai Chen, and there was a sound of footsteps outside the door accompanied by an old voice: "Young master, it's five watches, it's time to get up and drink!"
When the sound fell, the footsteps faded away and left gently.
Bai Chen's eyes were hazy, and after getting up to wash and drink, he went back to his room to prepare for the arrival of the awakening ceremony.
The awakening ceremony is a grand ceremony held by the Cheongju family, the purpose of which is to discover the children with outstanding talents in the clan, and to open up the spiritual veins and awaken the spirit in the body, it is necessary to invite spiritual masters to come.
The elixir used in the ceremony is expensive, not something that ordinary small families can afford, not to mention the problem of funds, Cheongju has a vast area, how many spiritual masters can be, and most spiritual masters choose to live in seclusion and concentrate on climbing the highest level of spiritual cultivation.
At noon, the scorching sun was shining, and the Bai family's courtyard was full of people, all of whom were from the Bai family, including domestic slaves, who came to witness the spiritual monk's practice and raise their horizons, while Bai Yifeng and the patriarch and the elders sat on the chairs.
In the center of the courtyard, several young men in gray robes stood with their hands in their hands, and if you looked closely, you would find that this gray robe had a star tattooed on the waist and a moon on the back, this symbol was the Emblem of the Star Moon Sect, and the gray robe represented these people were the third generation of disciples of the Star Moon Sect.
"Patriarch Bai, please hand over the list of all the teenagers below. The man in the lead waved his sleeve robe lightly and looked at Bai Yifeng, and slowly stretched out his right palm and smiled.
Bai Yifeng took out the paper from his arms, got up and handed it to the man, and looked at Bai Chen when he turned around.
At this time, Bai Chen's face was indifferent, but his heart was slightly anxious, although his talent could not be forced, Bai Chen still hoped that he could awaken a better quenching body source, after all, this matter was related to whether he could make a difference in this life, and he didn't want to be an ordinary person who would do nothing for a lifetime.
The gray-robed man's eyes swept over the paper, and he muttered, "The first young man, Bai Weiqiang." ”
As he spoke, a slightly burly teenager walked out of the crowd, this teenager did not look like he had just turned ten years old, and even his body shape could be compared to that of an adult person.
Bai Weiqiang smiled innocently in front of the gray-robed man.
The gray-robed man's eyes were slightly closed, his right hand pinched the words in his mouth, the gray-robed robe swayed gently, and accompanied by bursts of spiritual power looming around, then the gray-robed man opened his eyes, stretched out his index finger and gently pointed it towards Bai Weiqiang's eyebrows, and a golden spiritual power flowed into the center of Bai Weiqiang's eyebrows along the man's index finger and spread to the four directions of his body.
Bai Weiqiang's body trembled slightly, and the golden spiritual power flowed into the meridians of the body and finally converged in the dantian, gradually forming a brown dan-like object, which faded into Bai Weiqiang's dantian in an instant.
The gray-robed man was expressionless, looked back at the man next to him and stretched out his right palm: "Qingfeng, give me a bottle of Earth Spirit Pill!"
The man next to him nodded slightly, and handed him a dark green medicine bottle, which contained five medium-grade pills and earth spirit pills, which can help people with soil and soul quenching to open up the spiritual veins of the body, strengthen the physique and withstand the aura of heaven and earth, and can enter the spirit cultivation after five days.
The gray robe took the medicine bottle and handed it to Bai Weiqiang, signaling him to retreat: "Bai Weiqiang, the earth is quenching!"
Hearing this, Bai Weiqiang's face was overjoyed, the earth system quenching spirit is a single line of quenching spirit, and it is also considered a medium type of quenching spirit, if you learn the earth system exercises in the future, you can account for a relatively good development in this spiritual cultivation world.
"Next, Hohofrost!"
As soon as the gray-robed man's voice fell, a slender girl in a green shirt walked out of the crowd, her body was light and curly, and her snow-white skin was delicate like drops, which made the surrounding peers and members of the opposite sex throw their eyes into him.
Bai Shuangshuang's steps were light and Xu walked in front of the gray-robed man, blinking his eyes and looking at the gray-robed man.
The gray-robed man still didn't say a word, his right hand pinched the index finger and pointed at the center of the white frost frost eyebrows, and in a moment, the spiritual power surged from the index finger to the eight veins of the body's strange meridians, and finally converged at the dantian, taking the shape of water drops and emitting a dazzling light of sea blue, which was a little stronger than Bai Weiqiang's earth quenching spirit.
The gray-robed man's eyes fluctuated slightly, he withdrew his right palm and handed the dark green medicine bottle to the white frost, and said indifferently: "Well, the high-grade water system quenching spirit in the grade is not bad." ”
Bai Shuangshuang took the pill bottle, bowed to the gray-robed man, and then walked to one of the elders on the seat, Bai Shuangshuang is the daughter of the elder, and Bai Chen is a childhood friend, she looked at Bai Chen in the crowd, and smiled at him.
At this time, Bai Chen's eyes met with her, so he had to nod slightly to her, and then turned his gaze to the gray-robed man.
"Next, Baiwen"
......
With the passage of time, the gray-robed man has awakened more than dozens of teenagers, most of whom are low-grade quenching spirits, unable to open up the spiritual veins of the body, and are destined to be unable to go to the path of spiritual cultivators in their lives, and can only become ordinary mortals.
Bai Chen was a little distracted, he didn't expect that the more ordinary middle-grade quenching spirits were so difficult to awaken, among the dozens of teenagers awakened by the gray-robed man, there were very few who had cultivation qualifications and good quenching sources, and the rest of the people who had poor quenching grades or could not enter the spirit had no chance to do this, maybe the scarcity of spiritual cultivators was also because of this!
"Next, White Dust"
The gray-robed man's slightly rough tone made Bai Chen come back to his senses, and he quickly walked out with the crowd, and everyone's eyes fell on him, what kind of quenching spirit can the successor of the Bai family awaken? This is also what everyone is curious about.
Bai Yifeng and the elders also stared at Bai Chen, but the eyes of the elders did not contain much kindness, after all, Bai Chen was the successor of the Bai family, and what kind of quenching spirit also determined whether Bai Chen could be qualified to serve as the patriarch in the future, and the major elders were unwilling to give away this big cheese to others.
Bai Chen'an walked in front of the gray-robed man, his crystal clear eyes slowly closed, and his chest was beating and gasping for breath.
The gray-robed man pinched his right hand, and his index finger was a little at the center of Bai Chen's eyebrows, and the strong spiritual power flowed to Bai Chen's body to the spiritual veins and spread, his face twitched slightly, only to feel that the qi and blood in his body were smooth, and a warm current was leading to the dantian position.
At this time, the dazzling colored light gradually emanated from the white dust dantian, which was several times more dazzling than the light emitted by Bai Xiaoxiao's high-grade water system quenching spirit, so that the indifferent and cold gray-robed man gradually showed a look of astonishment, and looked at several men next to him.
Bai Yifeng had already gotten up in surprise, and looked at the white dust dantian, the colored light emitted by this was extremely pure and dazzling, and only the top-grade quenching spirit could emit such a light.
Bai Chen didn't open his eyes, he only felt that his body was unusually comfortable, and there was a warmth surging in his body, as if qi and blood were pouring into the dantian position, gathering and condensing qi here.
The light slowly converged, and everyone held their breath, wanting to see what it was that Quenling could emit such brilliance.
In a moment, the light is dispersed into five different colors that circl and merge with each other, and finally form a convergence, and the fusion of several different colors actually converges into a glass-colored five-petal closed lotus-like quenching spirit, and it is clear and clean as if it is out of the mud.
This situation made the gray-robed man look surprised and said:
"It's ...... Lotus?",
The young man's quenching spirit in front of him had actually transformed into a glass-colored lotus-shaped energy body, which he had never encountered in the past few years, and the five different colors might represent five different types.
And this lotus-like energy body happens to enclose the attributes of the five systems, but why does this lotus-like energy body appear at the source of the quenching spirit body?
In order to confirm what he thought in his heart, the gray-robed man slowly stretched out his right palm, and at the source of the white dust dantian, the spiritual power poured out and flowed into the glazed lotus energy body.
The gray-robed man's face changed slightly, and he faintly noticed that the glazed lotus contained five attributes, although the veins were conflicting and restrained, but it seemed that due to the effect of the glazed lotus, they were in harmony with each other and did not have a vision of rejection.
Presumably, in the future, if it weren't for the effect of this glazed lotus, when Bai Chen forcibly cultivated, it would inevitably cause the mutual exclusion of the five attributes in the body, so that the tendons and veins could not withstand the operation of spiritual power and break, resulting in the fact that many miscellaneous spirits could not cultivate.
Although it is difficult to overcome the difficulty of rejection of cultivation, after all, there are so many different things, even if you cultivate, what will you achieve!
The gray-robed man retracted his right palm, his face was slightly ugly, and the glazed lotus energy body also slowly faded, Bai Chen opened his eyes at this time, but he felt that the surrounding atmosphere was slightly tense, as if he was being stared at by thousands of eyes, while the gray-robed man and the Xingyue Sect disciples looked thoughtful.
Seeing that the atmosphere was so weird, Bai Chen asked puzzledly: "Senior, I don't know why I taste the spirit?"
The gray-robed man raised his arm and patted Bai Chen's shoulder, shook it lightly and sighed: "At the source of your quenching spirit body, there is a special lotus-shaped energy body, I can only tell you that the energy body is harmless to you and beneficial to you, but your quenching spirit body source is a mixture of multiple attributes, although you can barely cultivate with the blessing of that energy body, but you must also be prepared for not being able to break through to the spirit realm in the next few years......"
At this time, after listening to what the gray-robed man said, everyone on the field whispered, some ridiculed, some regretted, and some people showed joy on their faces, and there was no lack of majestic and solemn elders among them.
The source of the quenching spirit body with mixed attributes means that after several years of cultivation, he may not have broken through to the spirit realm.
The gray-robed man's words were like a giant hammer striking at his mind, making his hands clenched tightly, his cheeks showed a self-deprecating look, and his glass-colored eyes suddenly darkened.
Bai Chen's eyebrows tightened, he was silent, listening to the whispers of everyone on the field, turned around and walked away slowly with his feet like lead.
Bai Yifeng sighed, sat down on the chair with a little disappointment, and looked at Bai Chen, who was bowing his head and moving away, but did not stop him, why didn't he sigh along! Maybe the providence is like this, how can it be something that you can resist.
