The time of the night is fleeting, especially in this cold wax moon, and the comfort brought by the temperature in the house makes it difficult to perceive the passage of time.

It wasn't until the sun rose that Lin'er didn't mean to get up that Xu Bing knocked on the door and called Lin'er up.

The two of them ate some food with Song Chen, then led the horses and rushed to Fancheng together.

Xu Bing learned from the conversation that Song Chen was originally a disciple of the Cloud Saint Sect, and this time he followed his uncle to Fancheng to recruit new disciples.

This Cloud Saint Sect is actually just a branch sect, located in Qinglin Mountain south of Nie City, and the headquarters of the Cloud Saint Sect is far away in the middle of Cloud Saint Prefecture, hundreds of thousands of miles away from Fancheng.

And Xu Bing only knew at this time that the legends about immortals he had heard before were not false, and this Cloud Holy Sect was a sect of cultivating immortals. He also learned from Song Chen's mouth that the legendary Thunder Immortal Sect was not a fictitious sect, but a real sect, and it was an existence on par with the Cloud Saint Sect in the cultivation world.

Seeing that Xu Bing seemed to be quite interested in cultivation, Song Chen was also interested, and talked a little about his short years of cultivation.

"Brother Xu, this time I came to Fancheng with my uncle to recruit new disciples for the sect, anyone under the age of thirty who has a spiritual root in their body will have the opportunity to become a disciple of our Cloud Saint Sect. Brother Xu has such good skills at such an age, if he also has a spiritual root, he will definitely be favored by my uncle, and when the time comes, maybe you and I will be the same family." Song Chen said that he was happy, and raised his right hand to pat Xu Bing's shoulder, which could be seen that he admired Xu Bing very much.

When Xu Bing heard Song Chen's words, he was indeed a little interested, so he asked, "Brother Song, I don't know what this spiritual root is?"

Song Chen was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't know how to explain to Xu Bing, tilted his head slightly and thought for a moment, before he answered, "The spiritual root is like the most basic threshold of cultivation, with the spiritual root, you can enter the path of cultivation, but if you don't have a spiritual root, no matter how high your understanding is, no matter how good your skills are, it is useless."

When Xu Bing heard this, he also understood that no matter what he did, diligence was extremely important, but talent was indeed indispensable. Xu Bing has been practicing martial arts for nearly ten years now, and his skills are already good, but in this Fan City, even counting Nie Cheng and Yunshengzhou farther away, it is extremely rare for a young man of his age to be able to practice martial arts to such an extent.

Compared with the martial arts of mortal dust, the path of cultivation attaches more importance to talent. The spiritual root is the foundation of cultivation, and this is the most fundamental requirement, and not necessarily one out of a hundred people has it.

After thinking for a while, Xu Bing stopped thinking about it, but asked Song Chen, "By the way, Brother Song, you didn't say that you came with your uncle, why did you only see you yesterday until now, what about your uncle?"

Hearing Xu Bing's inquiry, Song Chen smiled, "My senior uncle is an impatient, and he has some friendship with the city lord of Fancheng, so he left me alone and left first." As he spoke, he spread his hands out, as if he was a little helpless, "Anyway, I will only start recruiting disciples tomorrow, and I am not in a hurry."

The two talked all the way, but Lin on the side was a little cold. However, Lin'er seemed to have some interest in what Song Chen said about the cultivation, and she listened to it with relish and did not bother the two. On the contrary, it was Xu Bing who talked all the way that made Lin'er a little surprised, Xu Bing always looked cold on weekdays, even if he was with her, he didn't say so much like at this time.

But she also knew that Xu Bing was interested in what Song Chen was talking about, so she didn't bother Xu Bing at this time.

The three of them originally set off from Yunqiao Town not too early, and the speed of the road was not fast, so they arrived in Fancheng at sunset.

Xu Bing invited Song Chen to go to the mansion to sit down, but Song Chen politely refused, "Brother Xu will go back, and I will go to the City Lord's Mansion to see my uncle, and when I recruit disciples tomorrow, Brother Xu must come." After speaking, he hugged his fist at Xu Bing, and Xu Bing also hugged his fist, then said goodbye and went back.

In the Xu Mansion, in the back hall, Xu Tianrong's father and son dined together, and Xu Bing also told him what happened during his trip to Yunqiao Town.

Xu Tianrong was not too surprised by what Xu Bing said about his cultivation, as if he had already known about it. However, when he heard Naba Dao Chen Hu, Xu Tianrong frowned slightly.

Looking at Lin'er, Xu Tianrong shook his head and sighed, "You kid, you really don't know the sinister nature of this world, even if you want to do some good deeds, you have to look at the gap between yourself and the other party." If your brother is not around, the consequences will be unimaginable."

When Lin'er heard her father's reproach, she also knew that it was for her own good, so she hurriedly put the vegetables in Xu Tianrong's bowl, and pulled Xu Tianrong's cuffs with a smile, and said coquettishly, "Dad, Lin'er knows that she is wrong, if her brother and father are not around in the future, Lin'er will definitely not be reckless."

For this only daughter, Xu Tianrong is also very fond of him, and he has never blamed him. Seeing such a scene at this time, he also smiled indifferently, and looked at Xu Bing again, "It is also your luck this time that you met the disciple of the Cloud Holy Sect, if it weren't for this, I'm afraid your life would be difficult to protect." Xu Tianrong shook his head again as he spoke, and then said, "Bing'er, because my father knows that you care about your sister, impulsiveness is the biggest taboo for those of us who practice martial arts. Naha sword Chen Hu, my father also fought with him when he was young, although he can win, but it will take hundreds of rounds, you! If you go out in the future, you must remember the word calm."

Xu Bing had been listening carefully to Xu Tianrong's words, and when the other party finished speaking, he raised his head and looked at Xu Tianrong and said, "Father, don't worry, Bing'er remembers, and will not make the same mistake again in the future."

Lin'er listened to the conversation between the two on the side, seemed to be a little impatient, stood up and poured a cup of tea for each of them, then sat down and said, "Dad, don't talk about brother anymore, tomorrow is the day when the Cloud Holy Sect recruits disciples, and my brother may be a disciple of the immortals from tomorrow."

When Xu Bing heard this, he glanced at Lin'er, and then at Xu Tianrong, "Father, the child wants to try it tomorrow to see if he has the potential to practice."

Xu Tianrong laughed, "My father knows, I was waiting for you to tell you when I came back, and I wanted you to try it, if you become an immortal, your father will be able to enjoy happiness in the future." As he was talking, he sighed again, his eyes moved to the window, and he said with some memories, "If you become an immortal, remember to help your father find your mother back, and I don't know where she has gone or how she lives now."

Looking at Xu Tianrong's sad eyes, Xu Bing didn't answer, and even Lin'er, who was usually very playful, saw that her father was wrong, and quietly didn't bother.

Growing up, Lin'er had no memory of her mother, as if she had no mother in the first place, but she didn't know that her mother disappeared when she was just born. did not leave a trace, disappeared without a trace, and Xu Tianrong never said these things to the child.

Originally, when he was young, he also participated in the recruitment of disciples by the Cloud Saint Sect, but the result was that his spiritual roots were too few to practice at all, which made him, who had originally ignited a glimmer of hope, fall to the bottom again.

But now, the Cloud Saint Sect has come here to recruit disciples again, which makes him see hope again. But he also knew that cultivation qualifications were rare, and he didn't want to put too much pressure on Xu Bing, so he just hid these things in his heart and didn't say them.
