In the depths of winter, the entire Tianshan Mountains are covered in a layer of silver. The Tianshan Mountains are extremely large and located in the north of the mainland. There are not only majestic mountains and rivers, but also vast forests, endless prairies full of life, and bare Mingsha Mountain. There used to be a saying here that "four scenes a day, ten miles of different heavens." ”

Due to the geographical advantages of the Tianshan Mountains, there are countless kinds of cherished medicinal materials in the entire Tianshan Mountains, and the Qingzong of the North Pole, which is established by the "medicine" faction, is located on the top of the Tianshan Mountains.

The Qingzong of the North Pole occupies the top of the entire Tianshan Mountain, and now it is noon, the mountain gate is wide open, and some of the outer disciples of the sect outside the gate are patrolling back and forth.

In the garden of a small courtyard in the sect......

A middle-aged man in gray was sitting on a stone bench, on his left was a middle-aged woman in her thirties, and on his right was a teenager of about eleven or twelve.

The middle-aged man's long black hair was tied into a bun, bronzed skin, a resolute face, and a pair of black eyes were terrifying, making people feel frightened.

The middle-aged woman is also extraordinary, she stands lightly, with a touch of grace and nobility that is difficult to hide, although she is middle-aged, but the tranquil cheeks, vaguely revealing the beauty of her youth, she stands next to the middle-aged man, like a fairy couple.

It's just that the young man next to him is a little inconsistent with this scene, he looks only eleven or twelve years old, his body is relatively thin, and there is always a touch of melancholy on his face, a picture of heavy thoughts.

"Daddy, is there anything you did to call the child?" the boy looked at his father suspiciously.

The middle-aged man in gray touched the young man's head dotingly, and said indifferently: "Ze'er, how do you feel about refining qi with your mother recently?"

Hearing the gray-clothed middle-aged man ask, a touch of melancholy flashed in the young man's eyes, and he could see that he was very helpless at the moment, and the young man said: "It's still the same as before, no matter how I run the Qi refining technique, once I inject the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi into the Qi Sea, it will dissipate, and it will not be able to store it at all." ”

The gray-clothed middle-aged man sighed, in the past few years, he didn't know how much he had worked on this son, as an elder of one of the top factions in the world, he was a peerless master who had been famous in the cultivation world for a long time, but his son was discovered when he was a teenager, and the sea of qi in his body was different from ordinary people, no matter how much he practiced the qi refining technique, he could not inject the condensed heaven and earth aura into his body.

He is powerful in the world, but his only son cannot inherit his majesty, which makes the man in gray feel a little disappointed.

The middle-aged man in gray paused, then glanced at the young man, and said, "Okay, Ze'er!

"Yes, the child is leaving!" the young man frowned and slowly walked out of the yard.

"Yingyun, you have been teaching Ze'er all this time, have you made any new discoveries?" Looking at the departing back of the young man, the gray-clothed middle-aged man sighed again, and then turned his head and looked at the middle-aged woman beside him, with a touch of expectation in his eyes.

The middle-aged woman also sighed lightly, and immediately showed pity on her face, and said: "I passed on the treasure book in his sect, but his cultivation is still the same as usual, and the refined heaven and earth aura, after being introduced into the sea of qi, will gradually dissipate, turn into heaven and earth aura again, and return to heaven and earth." ”

There are many cultivation methods in the world, and the systems are also very different, there are cultivators inherited from ancient times, as well as the powerful qi refiners, as well as Mahayana Buddhism, the gray-clothed middle-aged people and middle-aged women and their sects, all of which are mainly qi refiners, mainly cultivating qi methods.

However, cultivating the Qi Refining Method requires the cultivator's own meridians to be unobstructed, the Qi Sea to be accessible, and the Qi Refiner needs to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth with the major acupuncture points of the body, and then introduce the meridians to condense it, transform it into the Qi Refiner's true qi, and then inject it into the Qi Sea, so as to achieve the purpose of strengthening his own body, but there is a problem with the young man's Qi Sea, so that the true qi that he condenses and transforms cannot be stored in the Qi Sea, so that no matter how much he cultivates, in the end it will only be useless.

The middle-aged man in blue wanted to speak and stopped, and finally could only sigh helplessly, "How can this be?"

A trace of pain flashed in the middle-aged woman's eyes, it was his son, no parents didn't want their son to become a dragon, but when it came to this, what could she do?

The middle-aged woman said: "Ze'er's sea of qi is very weird, as if there are 10,000 holes, no matter how much you cultivate, the true qi that is finally injected into it will leak completely, and he is still congenital, Elder Yang in the sect has also treated Xiao Ze, but it has not improved, I am afraid that he will never be able to become a qi refiner in his life." ”

Elder Yang in the mouth of the middle-aged woman is the same as the man in gray, he is one of the elders of the sect, the Arctic Shangqing Sect is established with "medicine", and many disciples in the sect are involved in the medicine path, among which there are many people who have achieved extremely high achievements in the medicine path, this Elder Yang is the first person in the Arctic Shangqing Sect medicine on the medicine path, he has a very high achievement in the medicine path, and he is very famous in the entire cultivator, and is called the "medicine saint" by people in the cultivation world.

The gray-clothed middle-aged man slowly closed his eyes, and it could be seen that he was also extremely sad at the moment, as a man, especially a dominating existence like him, he should not have such emotions, but because of his son, he also showed a touch of vulnerability, but at this time, he looked more like a father.

After a moment, the man in gray opened his eyes, and then said, "I'll go see the sect master first!"

With that, he left the courtyard.

The young man walked out of the garden and walked straight forward, his face was faintly sad, his eyes revealed a touch of helplessness, the problem of the sea of qi had been bothering him since he was a child, watching the fellow disciples around him all begin to become stronger with cultivation, he was also very envious, and he also wished that he was like them, but no matter how hard he tried, he was just doing useless work.

Right here, several teenagers suddenly walked in the distance, they were not much older than the teenagers, they were all the youngest disciples in the Arctic Shangqing Sect, among these people, there was a teenager of the same age as him, but he was surrounded in the middle of the crowd, obviously, in this group of people, there was an extraordinary status.

"Hey, isn't that Xiao Ze? Let's go, let's take a look!" At this time, another teenager of the same age as the teenager noticed him walking over, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and then a different color flashed in his eyes, with a touch of playfulness, after glancing at several other teenagers around him, he walked towards the teenager opposite with a smile.

"Hey, Xiao Ze, where are you going?" Coming to the young man called Xiao Ze, the young man who was surrounded in the center did not speak, as if he disdained to talk to the young man named Xiao Ze, and now it was another young man next to him who spoke.

"Originally, it was Senior Brother Yan Qing and Senior Brother Wu! I didn't have anything to do, I just walked around!" Looking at the few teenagers who came closer, the young man named Xiao Ze frowned slightly, and then returned to normal, and then said calmly.

The Senior Brother Wu in Xiao Ze's mouth is the young man who just spoke, and that Senior Brother Yan Qing is the young man who is surrounded by everyone, his identity is not ordinary, he is the son of an elder in the Qing Sect on the North Pole, and it is the same as Xiao Ze, the same as the son of the elder, but what is different from Xiao Ze is that this Yan Qing's performance since he was a child is extraordinary, he is very talented in refining qi, although he has only been cultivating for a few years, but the achievements he has made many senior brothers in the sect who have been in the sect for more than ten years ashamed.

"I heard that some time ago, you cultivated with Elder Chu again, I don't know how it went?" that Senior Brother Wu asked deliberately.

Although he was smiling, he seemed to care about Xiao Ze, but listening to Xiao Ze's ears was full of sarcasm, he had a problem with his qi sea, and he couldn't cultivate the qi refining technique, which was something that all the disciples in the entire sect knew, so Senior Brother Wu asked like this, obviously deliberately mocking him.

Listening to the disdain and ridicule from several disciples of the same sect in front of him, Xiao Ze felt a surge of anger in his heart, he slowly raised his head, swept past several disciples of the same sect in front of him, and finally held back again, and then said, "If there is nothing to do, I will leave first." ”

"Huh...... Why are you in such a hurry to leave!Is it that you still can't feel good about refining qi recently, are you afraid that a few of our senior brothers will say you? Don't worry, we won't laugh at you!" However, just as Xiao Ze had just taken a step and was about to leave, he was stopped by that Senior Brother Wu.

Xiao Ze frowned, facing the ridicule of Senior Brother Wu and others, his heart was filled with an unspeakable anger, it can be seen that this situation should have been more than once, but Xiao Ze couldn't refute this.

Several teenagers looked at Xiao Ze, showing a smiling look, the irony was self-evident, but the young man named Yan Qing in the center was expressionless, but that look looked more bitter, because he had never looked at Xiao Ze from the beginning to the end, it was disregard and contempt from the depths of his heart.

At this time, another young man glanced at Xiao Ze, then took a step forward, turned around and said with a smile: "Don't laugh, have you heard, although Senior Brother Xiao is not good at refining qi, it is said that he has a Taoist spiritual root, and that is the result of the identification of the elders in the sect, what is the Taoist spiritual root, it is rare to see it in hundreds of years, right?"

As soon as these words came out, they immediately caused several young people around them to laugh, and after laughing, Senior Brother Wu continued: "What about having a Taoist spiritual root? It's a pity that my Arctic Shangqing Sect is a Qi refiner, and the disciples in the sect are all Qi refiners, and the sect's peerless learning is also Qi refining methods, and there is no cultivator's Dao method for him to cultivate. ”

The spiritual root is a Taoist saying, the refiner does not have a spiritual root, the Taoist spiritual root refers to the natural affinity for the Taoist Dao, like this kind of person, when cultivating the Taoist Dao, they are many times faster than ordinary people, and the potential is also much higher, once they grow up, they are destined to enter the ranks of the top masters.
