Chapter 13: The Road Ahead

013-04-26

And during this period, after countless attempts, there were finally some people who practiced a trace of mana. At first, it was Pei Hejing, and then Li Mo, Pei Shuying, and Chen Luoshui, who were very outstanding in their spiritual roots, and of course, there were a few unexpected people. After that, a day later, dozens more people practiced mana, and then those who practiced mana were like cháo swelling.

In this way, if the spiritual root level of Chu Chuan and his group is roughly divided into several levels, Xiao Chen's spiritual root is undoubtedly the top, and it can also be left in the history of the cultivation world.

And there is no doubt that Pei Hejing, Pei Shuying, Li Mo, Chen Luoshui and others, their level of spiritual roots represent the top spiritual roots in the cultivation world under normal circumstances.

And then there are the dozens of people who are a day later than Pei Hejing and the others, their spiritual roots should be of the highest grade, and the next group of people will all belong to the middle and upper quality.

Chu Chuan has been a little yīn in his heart these days, because no matter how many times he tries, he still can't practice a trace of mana, not to mention that if he has practiced mana, it is difficult to sense the vitality of heaven and earth.

The seven people in their courtyard, needless to say, Xiao Chen practiced mana on the first attempt, and even Song Ming also practiced the first trace of mana yesterday, and the spiritual root qualification was also medium in their batch of Dao species.

In the next two days, Lai An, Wang Tiezhu, and Shi Da Niu practiced the first trace of mana one after another. Among the seven people who have not yet practiced mana, only Chu Chuan and Changsheng are left. And there are only a few people in the entire Dao Zang Hall who have not yet practiced mana.

With Chu Chuan's calmness, he has become more and more irritable these days. But Changsheng still looks like a wooden one, as if he doesn't know what to be discouraged about, trying again and again, and failing again and again.

Chu Chuan originally felt that Changsheng had a trait that most people did not have, which made him stand out a little among the crowd.

Now that he is so single-minded and unhurried, Chu Chuan feels a little ashamed, feeling that his father's teaching to him for so many years has been in vain, and he is not as good as Changsheng, a wanderer since childhood.

In this way, Chu Chuan's mentality has also corrected a little, at least he no longer doubts himself. I don't have confidence in myself anymore, that's the most terrible thing.

The emperor lived up to his wishes, and Chu Chuan finally practiced a trace of mana in the second rì, which not only made him lose his mood for a while. It was Xiao Chen, who had always brought up a heart for him, who was relieved.

After going through the torment of the past few days, in the eyes of Xiao Chen and others, Chu Chuan's whole person seemed to have undergone a trace of indescribable changes.

Tribulations make people grow, but this is said to those who can endure them. Fortunately, Chu Chuan carried it.

It's just that judging from the fact that Chu Chuan has spent so many geniuses to practice the first trace of mana, the quality of his spiritual root is low, and the spiritual root is the most important among the cultivation talents, and Chu Chuan's spiritual root is so poor, it is destined to be difficult for him, and I don't know how many tribulations he has to go through?

Yuyuan Zhenren and others are also feeling sorry for him.

Dean Yuyuan sighed at a middle-aged man next to him: "Lin Yi, it's a pity for Chu Chuan. "The middle-aged man was wearing a green cloth shirt, and if it weren't for the natural exudation of a fairy aura on his body, he would be more like a scribe.

The man who was called "Lin Yi" by the dean also sighed lightly and said: "It's a pity, originally if the spiritual root had medium quality, I am afraid that some of them might be able to achieve the earth immortal, but now it seems that it is very good to be able to achieve the golden pill in his lifetime." It's strange to say, according to the report, even if his spiritual root is not in the upper grade, it is more than enough to enter the middle. ”

"I originally wanted to include him in the imperial court, but now it seems that it is absolutely impossible to judge the current situation of the imperial court, speaking of which, the imperial court has really become more and more advanced over the years......" Before the dean finished speaking, he was interrupted by the coughing voice of the middle-aged man: "Speaking of which, the spiritual root is divided into twelve grades like the elixir magic weapon, but there has never been an effective way to accurately measure the quality of the spiritual root, and it can only be relied on estimate." ”

The dean was speechless, so he took the middle-aged man's words and said: "Yes, the spiritual root is too complicated, and it is hidden in the depths of the human body, and it can only rely on the performance of the cultivator to estimate the good or bad, even if there is an accumulation of thousands of years of examples, there will still be some mistakes." ”

The dean pursed his lips and continued: "Although the spiritual root can be measured with a philosopher's stone, it is unknown what the specific spiritual root is, and some hidden spiritual roots cannot be measured, and I don't know how many sand sea pearls have been left behind over the years. The dean was a little sorry.

"I don't know what kind of spiritual root Xiao Chen is, Xuanyuan Tongming Body, Golden Crow True Body, Taiyi Purple Green Body, Tianjing Glass Body?" The middle-aged man saw that the dean stopped Fang Cai's topic about the imperial court, and Suo Xìng went further, but he guessed Xiao Chen's spiritual root, and guessed four spiritual roots in a row, all of which were ranked among the five grades of extraordinary physique.

The dean smiled dumbly and said, "Lin Yi, that Xiao Chen has only been cultivating for a few days, and he doesn't even know what kind of genus he is, so can you see what kind of spiritual root it is? ”

The dean knew that the middle-aged man was for his own good, and although they had stayed away from the court, it was still inappropriate to criticize the court. Therefore, he was happy to take over the conversation, but he couldn't help but feel a trace of desolation in his heart.

He and this middle-aged man with the name Linyi were both members of the imperial court, but because they belonged to the old party, they were attacked by the new party that was now in the court, such as rì Zhongtian, and was sent to a place like Daozangtang, so it was naturally bitter and desolate in his heart.

But this is not the main reason why Dean Yuyuan feels desolate. He was disappointed in the imperial court, the current imperial court was not able to put himself in the right position, and he was bent on reproducing the glory of the ancient royal court, which was too bad to judge the situation.

And the court controlled by the new party has lost its dignity in its actions, and there is no bottom line, not to mention reproducing the glory of the ancient royal court, I am afraid that it is impossible to maintain its current status.

Therefore, Dean Yuyuan's heart was full of helplessness of "having the intention to kill the thief, but having no power to return to heaven".

"With that, I thought about it, could this Chu Chuan's spiritual root be a little special, so that the cultivation effect of the Jade Ginseng Hezhen Sutra is not good for him?"

The middle-aged man, Dean Zhilu Dao, had a good impression of Chu Chuan, a smart and calm child, and he didn't want to be relieved of him at the moment, so he said with an excuse: "It's really possible." In his heart, he thought that even so, it should be that the power he exerts is not as good as that of others, rather than that it is so difficult to sense the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi.

Although he didn't say this, the dean thought of it himself: "That's it, I'm just comforting myself." ”

The two belong to the same colleagues in the imperial court, and they are in the same camp, and they were also assigned to the Daozang Hall in Chang'an at the same time, which has a trace of "the same is the end of the world".

Chu Chuan knew that his spiritual root was very poor, so he worked harder.

Because of his upbringing since childhood, he has never been a person who sits idly by, and he has learned how to plan for a rainy day at a young age.

Therefore, when he learned that his spiritual roots were barely enough to enable him to enter the foundation building period, and it was likely that he would return to Linyou County in three years, he began to chart another path for his future.

There were a total of nine courses, and two rounds had been conducted so far, and Chu Chuan had only cultivated the first wisp of mana when the second round was nearing the end. However, his talent in swordsmanship, alchemy and refining weapons is also clearer, at least the mountain real people who teach swordsmanship, the real people of Toad Palace who teach alchemy, and the real people of Qiushui who teach alchemy all praise him.

Swordsmanship is the most common attack method for cultivators with parallel spells. Especially since the Qin generation created a line of sword immortals in ancient times, and reached its peak in the ancient Tang and Song dynasties, sword immortals have been representatives of super attack power, and flying swords are popular in the hands of cultivators.

Although the really strongest are those ancient supernatural powers that shock the past and the present, the flying sword is still a very important criterion for measuring the strength of a cultivator, after all, almost no one can successfully cultivate this kind of primeval supernatural power. Therefore, even if his cultivation is slow, if he has a good flying sword and the sword technique is very strong, Chu Chuan is confident that his strength will not be too much inferior to others in the early stage, and even in terms of attack power alone, it will surpass others by a lot.

Then there is alchemy, there are many kinds of pills, which can be divided into four categories: cultivation, healing, breakthrough and improvement of physical fitness. Judging from Chu Chuan's situation, refining more pills to help cultivation can slightly narrow the gap with others, and if possible, he can even refine some pills to improve his physique, and improve his spiritual root a little, even if he can't improve greatly, but if he is better, he will be less difficult in cultivation, right?

There is also refining weapons, a large part of the strength of cultivators depends on magic weapons, if you can get a good magic weapon worthy of ten years of hard cultivation, with a strong magic weapon, it is also possible to fight beyond the ranks.

Therefore, Chu Chuan decided to put kung fu on these three aspects, among which swordsmanship is the most important, alchemy is second, and refining tools is again.

This arrangement is because swordsmanship is the fastest aspect that Chu Chuan can improve his strength at this stage, with strong swordsmanship, others will not think that you can be bullied, and there will naturally be fewer people who come to find trouble, and there will be fewer people looking for trouble, and there will naturally be more time to improve his strength.

And the reason why alchemy is placed in the second place instead of refining is also because alchemy is more helpful to him at this stage, good refining materials are rare, and the magic weapon that he practiced at the beginning is definitely not as good as the magic weapon distributed by the Daozang Hall, and it is not too late to study the refining tool hard after finding the materials of Haolu.

Chu Chuan is not a person who feels sorry for himself, and the irritability of the day a few days ago is also because he has never encountered such a big gap with others since he was a child, and now that he has woken up, he naturally has to think about how to smooth out this gap.
