Chapter 2: Genius or Waste

Only those who have spiritual roots can step into the path of cultivating immortals, and the number of spiritual roots determines their qualifications for cultivating immortals.

Those who have a spiritual root can cultivate immortals. Usually immortal cultivators will have several different spiritual roots, such as this young man Huang Shulang with a bronze mirror in his hand, he is three water spirit roots and one wood spirit root. In the Water Spirit Sect, he is considered a disciple with good qualifications.

If you can have more than four identical spiritual roots, then you will become the treasure of the sect, and you will definitely be carefully taken care of. However, this kind of person is extremely rare, even if it is hundreds of years, you may not be able to see one.

Moreover, the spiritual roots are different, and the exercises practiced are also very different, and the more spiritual roots, the faster the corresponding exercises will be cultivated. Therefore, before entering the Immortal Cultivation Sect, you must first determine the type and quantity of spiritual roots. If you practice the wrong exercises, it will be difficult to make progress for decades, or you will go mad and become a walking corpse.

Since the Five Spiritual Sect has been divided into five sects, the Water Spirit Sect naturally only selects disciples who are suitable for the water system exercises, and as for other children, even if they have spiritual roots, they will ignore them.

Because this time I came to choose a disciple, it was just for an agreement. In the past, the Five Spiritual Gate suffered a catastrophe, and the Tianyun Venerable took action to make the Five Spirit Gate continue. And this Tianyun Venerable happened to be from Shijia Village, so he agreed with Wulingmen that every twenty years, Wulingmen would come to Shijia Village to accept apprentices.

Now that two hundred years have passed, Venerable Tianyun doesn't know whether to break through the Jindan stage and become a great monk in the Yuan Infant Stage, or whether the Shouyuan has exhausted and turned into a handful of loess. But this agreement was continued.

Even if the Five Spirits Sect was divided into five sects, it did not dare to violate the agreement with the monks of the Jindan period, and the selection of disciples became a custom every twenty years.

However, Shijia Village is located in a remote area, and there are very few children with spiritual roots, so the five sects blame each other, and finally it is decided, and each sect takes turns to come once.

Now the Wulingmen has been divided into five sects for nearly a hundred years, and this time it is the turn of the Shuilingmen to come to Shijia Village to select apprentices.

........................

One, two, three...... When three earth spirit roots appeared on the bronze mirror, Huang Shulang was already a little breathless. The three same spiritual roots, the qualifications have reached his level, if they reach the Earth Spirit Sect, they will definitely be core disciples, but it is harmful to their Water Spirit Sect.

"A person with this kind of qualifications still let him die of old age in a poor and remote place. Huang Shulang thought secretly in his heart.

"Four-jot!" exclaimed another young monk, "how is this possible?" ”

"Shut up, what a system. Huang Shulang interrupted. Something surprised him happened, and another spiritual root appeared on the bronze mirror.

"Four Earth Spirit Roots?" Huang Shulang's heart turned up in turmoil, four spirit roots, and they are all earth spirit roots, there are very few people with this kind of qualification, and it is not impossible to be accepted as a personal disciple by the elders of the sect.

"Senior Brother Huang, Fifth ...... Gojo ...... "The monk's tongue is straight."

"What?" Huang Shulang saw that a fifth spiritual root appeared on the bronze mirror, and it was also a yellow earth spirit root, Huang Shulang felt an inexplicable feeling of dizziness, he blinked vigorously, but five earth spirit roots did appear on the bronze mirror.

Huang Shulang picked up the bronze mirror and pasted it on the top of a junior brother's head, and after a while, two water spirit roots and one golden spirit root appeared on the bronze mirror, and there was no change.

Of course, the bronze mirror that tested the spiritual root was not broken, but the kid with the tiger head and tiger brain in front of him really had five spiritual roots, and all of them were earth spirit roots? Huang Shulang couldn't believe it.

Several other monks were also dumbfounded, and they all looked at Huang Shulang at the moment, hoping that he would come up with an idea. After all, the appearance of the people of the five spiritual roots is a very trivial thing.

Huang Shulang was also very entangled in his heart, if there were only four earth spirit roots, it would be fine, but this kid actually had five earth spirit roots, and bringing them back would be of no use to the Water Spirit Gate. But according to legend, if the spiritual root is full of five, it can automatically perceive the vitality of heaven and earth, in case one day it becomes the climate, or joins the earth spirit gate, then the blow to the water spirit gate will be too great.

"No, he must not be left to comprehend on his own. In an instant, Huang Shulang had realized that this matter was not something he could do, and it had to be decided by the sect masters and elders.

"You're qualified, stand over there. Huang Shulang pointed to a few children who had passed the test, and pretended to be calm.

"Ah! Shi Dangdang also cultivates immortals. ”

"Stone has the strength of a cow, and I know he can do it. ”

............

"Okay, that's all for today's test, those who pass the test can go back to reunite with their relatives, the way of cultivating immortals, like sailing against the current, don't be involved in the mortal world, say goodbye today, there should be no reunion within ten years. Huang Shulang interrupted everyone's sighs.

"Ten years?" There was another chaos in the crowd, but no one would give up their children's path of cultivating immortals because they had not seen each other for ten years, and those children who were chosen were filled with a kind of pride in their hearts, and they did not feel much parting melancholy.

As for Ishikawa, he didn't have the slightest concern, because he was full alone, and the whole family was not hungry.

However, there is still a trace of reluctance in his heart, and that is Qingchuan.

"By the way, Qingchuan can also test it, who said that girls can't test the spiritual root?" Ishikawa suddenly thought and hurriedly shouted: "Immortal, I still have a sister, let's test it for her." ”

Ishikawa ran over in three steps and two steps, and pulled out Ishikawa, who was crowded in the gap and was happy for Ishikawa.

Huang Shulang's eyes showed a hint of violence, but after seeing Shi Qingchuan, his face softened slightly, and he took the bronze mirror and put it on Shi Qingchuan's head.

"Four Water Spirit Roots!" Huang Shulang almost shouted, the stimulation for him today was too great, he had just discovered a five-water spirit root, and now there was another four-water spirit root, how could he stand it.

After half a ring, Huang Shulang nodded in the expectant eyes of the two, and squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "Pass!"

"Brother Shi, I've passed, I've passed!" Qingchuan jumped and jumped happily.

Ishikawa had a rare smile on his face, and now the last concern in his heart was gone.

..............................

"Me!"

"And me!"

Four people were forced out of the crowd, and this was Ishikawa's distant uncle and his two precious sons.

"Shi Rooster, didn't you go to the city to watch a play, why did you run back? Someone teased that Ishikawa, a distant uncle, was famous for picking doors, so he got the title of a stone rooster.

As if he hadn't heard, Shi Rooster hunched his waist and gave a few big salutes to Huang Shulang and the others, and said: "A few immortal masters, I have two sons, who are usually well-behaved and intelligent, you can see if I can worship you as a teacher." ”

Huang Shulang closed his eyes as if he hadn't heard it.

"Stinky girl, hurry up and help your two brothers beg the immortal master. Shi Rooster slapped Shi Qingchuan on the back of the head. On the way into the city, they heard that an immortal had come to accept an apprentice, so they hurried back, and just heard outside that Shi Qingchuan had been accepted as a disciple by an immortal.

"What are you going to do?" Ishikawa grabbed Shi Rooster's arm and pushed it out a foot away.

"You kid turned the sky upside down!" The two stone roosters were about to rush up with long teeth and claws.

"Immortal Master, these two are my brothers, please help them test it. Shi Qingchuan pleaded.

Huang Shulang opened his eyes and looked at these two ugly-looking people, who really didn't match Shi Qingchuan's eyebrows. However, Shi Qingchuan has four water spirit roots, and when he reaches the sect, he will definitely be valued by the elders, and his future is limitless. Huang Shulang is also happy to be a favor to push the boat.

"Okay, let's put it to the test. ”

"One has a golden spiritual root, and the other has no spiritual root. Huang Shulang took a photo of the bronze mirror, and immediately got the result.

"Two wastes, you don't have to think about cultivating immortals in this life, go back. Huang Shulang said unceremoniously.

"What, it's impossible, this waste of stone can cultivate immortals, why can't we?" Shi Neng and Shi Li howled loudly, and their eyes also showed disgust when they looked at Ishikawa.

"Immortals, are you mistaken, please take a look at the immortals. The two of them were busy.

"Will I make a mistake?" Huang Shulang said coldly, if this wasn't Shi Qingchuan's parents, he wouldn't be so polite.

"Immortal, what's the use of you asking a girl to go back, and this stone, it's just a stunned one, my two sons are fine, you want to go back, let them do whatever they want." ”

"Don't make me say the same thing a second time. Huang Shulang was already a little annoyed, and talking to these reckless men made him feel very humiliated.

"Immortal, look at this, you take my girl, leave this stone stunned man, you take one of my sons over......" Shi Rooster gritted his teeth and seemed to have made a very big decision.

"Get out!" Huang Shulang roared angrily, and the onlookers all felt their blood rolling, so uncomfortable.

The mother-in-law of the stone rooster was unrelenting: "I picked up this girl and raised it for more than ten years, so let you take it away, then I didn't raise it for nothing, if you don't take my son today, I will ......"

Hearing this, Ishikawa and Shi Qingchuan's faces turned pale, it turned out that Qingchuan was actually picked up, not their own.

Shi Neng and Shi Li saw their mother crying, and one of them also came up and grabbed one of Qingchuan's arms, pulled it back hard, and muttered: "Don't let us go, don't think about this girl." ”

"Look for death!" Before Ishikawa could make a move, two silver rays of light condensed in Huang Shulang's hands.

"Whoosh, whoosh!" Two sounds, Shi Neng and Shi Li, both lying on the ground, holding their abdomen tightly with both hands, cried on the ground and howled.

"The immortal has a magical power!" all the people who watched the excitement fell to their knees on the ground at once and bowed.

Huang Shulang closed his eyes slightly, suppressing the spiritual power in his body that was as thin as a gossamer, and it was already very rare for him to be able to use two ice pick techniques with the cultivation of the third layer of his Qi cultivation period.

"Qingchuan is already a disciple of our Water Spirit Sect, no matter how much he dares to behave inappropriately, there will be no mercy for killing!"

"Alright, you guys quickly disperse, and we will meet in an hour after passing the test. Another young monk commanded, after all, this was the hometown of the legendary Jindan monk Tianyun Venerable, and he didn't want to cause more trouble.

Ishikawa took Harukawa's hand and ran in the direction of the mountain temple, he was afraid that the stone rooster would detain Harukawa again.

After living in the mountain temple for a few years, Ishikawa also has a lot of feelings in it, and this time he was able to pass the test, and Ishikawa also subconsciously attributed it to the mountain god. Therefore, before leaving, it is appropriate to pay a respect.

As soon as he returned to the mountain temple, the old man named Hanako immediately greeted him and said with a happy face: "Have you passed the test?"

"You haven't left yet?" Ishikawa remembered that he should have gone looking for breakfast just now.

Ishikawa didn't have time to deal with this old man Hanako now, so he pulled Shi Qingchuan to kneel in front of the statue of the mountain god and bowed: "Thank you for the blessing of the mountain god, we are going to cultivate immortals, and after ten years, I will come back to worship you." ”

"Haha, I still worship the mountain god, if the disciples of Wulingmen hear it, it would be strange if they didn't peel off the skin. The old name Hanako said with a smile on the side.

"What Wulingmen?" Ishikawa stood up after respectfully bowing: "I'm going to cultivate immortals, don't steal anything in the future, if you really can't ask for food, you won't be beaten to death by the wicked." ”

"Isn't it the Five Spirit Sect that came to collect apprentices this time?" asked the old man Hanako curiously.

"Of course not. It seems to be called water...... Water Spirit Gate, yes, Water Spirit Gate. Ishikawa thought for a moment.

"How is it possible? The old man Hanako showed surprise in his eyes, and said to himself: "It shouldn't be, Shui Lingmen, where did the Shuilingmen come from?"

"Alright, we're leaving, take care of yourself in the future. "Ishikawa pulled Harukawa and was about to leave.

"Wait, wait. Hanako, who had been screaming, suddenly became very agitated, as if she was making some important decision.

After a while, he seemed to have made up his mind, and said, "Little girl, can you go out and wait for a while, I want to say a few words to this little brother alone, can I do it for a while?"
