Chapter 16 Chapter Sixteen Weirdness
Mortals also exist in the world of Hengyun.
In fact, even if monks give birth to children together, there will be cases where there is no spiritual root. When the Lingzhen Sect selects mortal servants for official disciples, they mostly start from the disciples' clans.
This is the case with Wang Chuyan. She has a good brother. Although he has three spiritual roots, he is naturally wise and his magic practice is much faster than other disciples. Wang Fang was favored by the elders and moved under the gate. Only then did he make an exception and gave him the opportunity to choose a mortal servant in advance. Wang Chuyan was able to enter the sect.
However, not every monk can be supported by a sect or family. Most of the opportunities for them to embark on the path of spiritual practice come from various coincidences. After introducing Qi into the body, they begin what is called "casual practice" days.
Except for the lone rangers who are strong and unwilling to be bound by the sect, most of the casual cultivators have low cultivation levels and are in the early and middle stages of Qi training.
They lived together with mortals, forming large or small cities.
What Zhao Xun and his party are going to this time is a medium-sized city - Jicheng.
Hong Qisheng came from a rough background and was injured by gangsters during a escort trip. Fortunately, a great monk passing by gave him a pill, which immediately introduced Qi into his body. He even advanced all the way to the middle stage of Qi training, and was awarded He started practicing Taoism, but at that time he was already in his thirties and had four spiritual roots, so there was no possibility of joining the sect.
After many twists and turns, Hong Qisheng came to Jicheng, married a wife, had children and settled down. However, his wife and daughter were both mortals and could not pass on the Taoism. He was afraid that he would have no successors, so he had the idea of finding a husband for his daughter. Choosing a generous and loyal person does not require outstanding talent, but only requires hard work and hard work in practice. He also sincerely loves his only daughter.
As soon as this happened, all the young people in the city were happy.
In the middle stage of Qi training, Hong Qi had a high status in the city. Not to mention the father-in-law, his daughter Hong Qian, who is in her prime of life, is a well-known beauty, with a beautiful face and a graceful figure.
Who wouldn’t want to have power and beauty together?
Hong Qisheng spent money to publish the list in the Lingzhen Sect. On the one hand, he needed to identify whether the person who came to choose his son-in-law had spiritual roots. He did not have such a treasure, so he could not succeed.
On the other hand, his Taoist method was passed down by the great monks, which was more sophisticated than other casual cultivators, and had long been coveted by others. Only when he was in the middle stage of Qi training, no one dared to do it rashly. But his future son-in-law was different. He had just embarked on the path of spiritual practice, his strength was low, and he was afraid of being killed for the treasure.
The Lingzhen Sect was not close to Jicheng, but it was so prestigious that all the sects around Jicheng wanted to avoid its influence. Hong Qisheng recruited disciples of this sect in the hope of using the name of Lingzhen Sect to intimidate others.
Only during this trip did Zhao Chun know the status of his sect in the surrounding area. When resting in a small town, every restaurant, inn, or even a roadside vendor would kneel down as soon as they bent their legs after knowing that they were from the Lingzhen sect.
Looking at Feng Sanchu and others, their expressions were as usual, they must be used to this kind of situation.
After two days of traveling, we will be able to reach the market city before noon tomorrow. The group checked into an inn outside the city and ordered a table to eat and enjoy.
There is no distinction between immortals and mortals in the inn, and there is a lot of noise. There were seven or eight men in civilian clothes and swords sitting at the table next to Zhao Shun. They drank from large bowls and said loudly, without caring about others, "Have you heard of this?"
Someone replied: "What is it? If you fart, hurry up!"
"You know about the wind-stopping forest three hundred miles to the east. There is an immortal coming over there, and he can live without eating!"
< br>The people at Zhao Shun's table had no expression on their faces, but their ears were all perked up. During the qi training period, monks still need to eat to fill their stomachs. Only after building the foundation can they be free from grains and never be stained by the worldly world. There are many mountains and forests here and the location is remote. How could there be a foundation-building monk there?
"Are you serious? Are you, the Sandman, stunned?" "How can I lie to you! The immortal opened a sect deep in the forest and accepted several disciples!" The big man picked up the empty meal. Dishes, said: "Such a big white jade plate, if you shine it on someone's face, you can tell whether they are destined to be immortal! Do you think it is magical or not?"
It is a jade jade used for detecting spirits. It is not common outside, but it is found in all major sects. Just by shining a light on a person's seal, you can see whether the person has spiritual roots or not by whether the jade jade shines. Meng Han brought this thing to the meeting for recruiting a son-in-law. However, this object is not as mysterious as the Zhaoling Shadow Wall. It can only distinguish whether it is present or not, but cannot reveal the details of the spiritual root.
Zhao Chun still remembers the whitebait used by Cao Wenguan that day. After joining the sect, he found out that the spiritual energy of the small world of Feihu was so thin that the jade stone could not react, so he used fish from the source of the Guantian River. My son, he has his own aura and is very precious.
However, not every small world is like this. Feihu and Hengyun have lost contact for a long time, so their spiritual energy has been greatly lost. Most of the other small worlds still have spiritual energy, which is not enough for monks to practice, but it is enough for the mortals in them to live longer and suffer less illness.
I also heard the big man say: "Immortals are very kind. Anyone under the age of thirty-five can enter as long as they are destined to be immortals! It's a pity that I passed that age a few years ago, otherwise I would have tried it. !”
Zhao Xuan frowned, the sooner a monk embarks on the path of cultivation, the better. It is extremely late after the age of twenty. Unless he is a genius with Tianlinggen or Double Spiritual Root, it is basically impossible. It is hopeless in the middle stage of Qi training. The entry threshold for small sects is low, but not that low.
Everyone at the table felt something was wrong, and thought that some monks really did not play according to common sense, such as the one who gave the elixir to Hong Qisheng, and the elder Ning Yuanqi who liked to be with mortals the most in the sect. Others really couldn't guess their thoughts. .
I simply stopped thinking about it and went back to the house after dinner.
Since the end of the confinement, Zhao Chun has opened two more meridians in the past two months. Now he has entered the sixth meridian, the Hand Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian among the three Yang meridians of the Hand, and has reached the final step.
She sat cross-legged on the bed board, and the golden fire spirit energy moved along with the flow, completely connecting the meridians!
In this way, half of the twelve meridians have been completed. If this continues, it will take about half a year for her to break through to the third level of Qi training. The speed was so fast that she even frightened herself!
However, every trace of spiritual energy was indeed obtained by her hard work every day, and she understood every meridian thoroughly.
Zhao Chun also wondered whether his meridians were too narrow, which was why the progress was so fast. After further discussion with Lian Jing, I was convinced that although her meridians were not as wide as a river, they were still better than those of ordinary monks.
Later I asked Xun Xian in a small class, and he guessed: "Fire is violent, and metal is sharp. These two types of monks are indeed faster than others in the second level of Qi training. You have two attributes. Fellow practitioners, this must be the reason."
Halfway through his words, he said to the remaining disciples: "You don't have to be envious. When you reach the third level of Qi training, the acupoints need to be nourished. It is the wood and water monks who are more powerful."
All the disciples are confused, but the earth monks are the only ones with a sad face. They are the ones left among the five elements.
Zhao Shun took out a transparent bead from his inner front pocket, which was exactly the one he picked up in the dry well. As her cultivation became more advanced, the beads became more translucent, but they never had the same brilliance as that day.
She felt that the bead was quite spiritual, so she kept it with her. Although she didn’t feel anything other than sleeping, Zhao Shun always had an idea in her heart that she and it were connected to each other. No one can leave anyone.
"What is so special about you?" Zhao Chun held it in his hand and murmured.
