Spirit Root
"Eighth Brother didn't come." Ye Wei replied.
In fact, Ye Wei hadn't noticed it at first. After all, Ye Kong had never appeared in such a crowded place before, and everyone had gotten used to the fact that Eighth Brother hadn't appeared. In fact, they didn't even remember him.
More importantly, Ye Wei was also dreaming about his own dream at that time. How could he think of others?
However, when he found out that he didn't have a spirit root, he felt an indescribable sadness in his heart. However, he was the eldest son of the Ye family after all, and he would look at the problem from his father's point of view. Therefore, he also hoped that the others would have a spirit root.
Therefore, he looked down, hoping to find a spiritual root.
However, he was still disappointed in the end. However, after looking around, he realized that there was a problem. It seemed that one of them was missing.
Who was missing? He really couldn't think of it. Ye Wei used a stupid method and counted them one by one." I'm the boss. Second brother, third brother, fourth brother…eighth brother didn't come!”
As soon as Ye Wei said this, Ye Haoran also opened his eyes wide and looked over. As expected, he didn't see Ye Kong, and he was furious. How could this idiot not come for such an important matter? This was too much!
Although he hated this kid in his heart, this was his last hope. He had already been disappointed so many times, so he didn't mind being disappointed again!
"Perfected One, I'm sorry. I still have a son, but I don't know why he hasn't arrived yet. Please wait a moment, I'll send someone to call him.”
After checking dozens of them, Wanxuan Zhenren didn't care about one more. He sat down and waved his hand impatiently." Then go quickly and come back quickly."”
"Thank you, Reverend." Ye Haoran stretched out his hand and called Ye Cai over. Just as he was about to ask Ye Cai to call Ye Kong, someone was unhappy.
The Second Mistress was unhappy. She could make others become immortals, but she couldn't make Ye Kong become an immortal. Why? If Ye Kong became an immortal, then Chen Jiuniang's status would be higher! How could she let an ugly and poor woman step on her?
Besides, Ye Kong had beaten her son and molested her little girl, and she still held a grudge against him. She had to stop this from happening.
"General, you can't do this." The Second Mistress rose to her feet and said," Ye Kong is untamed and stubborn. He has a violent personality, and he will take revenge whenever he gets angry. If he cultivates immortal techniques, it will be a disaster for the Ye family, not a blessing…"
The Second Mistress was indeed vicious enough to say such things in front of Wanxuan Zhenren, which made him feel that she was a devilish existence. Even if she had spiritual roots, she would not accept her.
Ye Haoran finally understood why Ye Kong hadn't shown up. It turned out that the Second Mistress had been the one who had caused trouble. Now, she was even spouting nonsense in front of everyone. Even Ye Haoran was furious.
"Impudent!" Ye Haoran was furious." You're ruining my plans, woman! Ye Kong may have a bad temper, but he's only twelve years old, after all. He's not as bad as you make him out to be!"”Ye Haoran was afraid that Wanxuan Zhenren would be swayed by Second Mistress 'words, so he hurriedly said to Wanxuan Zhenren," I'm sorry for making a fool of myself. I didn't manage my family well. My eighth son has been muddle-headed since he was young. He has just been enlightened recently, so he might have said something inappropriate to those who mocked him, making others think that he..."
"Alright, alright, get someone to call him.”Wanxuan Zhenren's expression remained unchanged.
"Yes." Ye Haoran glared at the Second Mistress again. He wanted Ye Cai to go and summon the people, but he was afraid that Ye Cai would play some tricks again. It was better to let Ye Wei go.
Ye Kong was reading a book, and when he heard Ye Wei call him, he quickly followed him. On the way, he heard that an immortal was taking in a disciple, and he was even more delighted.
Ye Kong hadn't expected that the Immortal he had been searching for so long would appear on his own initiative. He had really worn out his iron shoes and searched for nowhere, but he had found it without any effort.
He was not too worried about whether he had a spiritual root or not. First of all, he could feel spiritual qi. Moreover, he could also enter his spiritual altar and purple mansion. Could others? Clearly, he was different from the rest.
Under the scorching sun, those youths who had no spiritual roots after inspection did not dare to leave. They could not feel the sun just now, but now they felt that the sun was so scorching. The pores on their backs were as uncomfortable as ants crawling. Since it was impossible for them to become immortals, they hoped that they would disperse as soon as possible.
However, at this moment, they saw Ye Wei and Ye Kong enter. They had been outside the reception hall and hadn't heard the conversation inside. Now that they saw Ye Kong, they were as surprised as they could be.
"You even brought a fool here? Hehe, he really can't be choosers. We don't even have spiritual roots, so would he?”
"Definitely not. If he had spiritual roots, then my Ah Huang would also have spiritual roots.”
" Haha, he's not even as good as Ah Huang. That dog can understand human nature, but Ye Kong is an idiot. He's like a pig in a pigsty. In the past, when he was full, he would even groan.”
Ye Kong walked in and was a little surprised to see so many people. At first, he thought he was late, but when he heard that they had all been checked, he was surprised. Ye Kong was a shrewd person, and he immediately guessed that none of them had Spirit Roots, which was why he had called him.
"F * ck him, he's too much of a bully! Even an irrelevant person came. Did he think that his surname was Ye? It's fine if you don't acknowledge me as your master. I don't owe your Ye family a favor!”Ye Kong was furious. He muttered to himself, then turned around and left.
Ye Wei, who had just gone in to report, came out and saw that Ye Kong was about to leave, so he quickly followed him." Eighth Brother, Eighth Brother…What are you doing?”
Ye Kong was a person who was very clear about gratitude and resentment. He could throw a tantrum at others, but he couldn't throw a tantrum at Ye Wei.
"Big brother, I'm going back to study. It's almost the same whether I'm in the Ye family or not. So many brothers, so many…handsome young man, ah, why do you need me, a fool, to come?”Ye Kong said with a wry smile, suppressing his anger.
Ye Wei immediately understood and said in a low voice," It's Ye Cai's doing. Father and I don't know about it. Father has already reprimanded them just now. You can't leave. If you leave, you'll be giving Father and me a hard time."”
Ye Kong was skeptical. He raised his head and looked into the living room, only to be dragged in by Ye Wei again. He had no choice but to let Ye Wei drag him in.
Wanxuan Zhenren's eyes had been closed the entire time, but his divine sense had seen everything clearly. It was only when Ye Kong stood in front of him that he opened his eyes.
"Quickly call me Grandpa Immortal Master." Ye Haoran urged.
"Grandpa Immortal Master." Ye Kong wasn't in a good mood, so he mustered up his courage and looked at him. Their eyes met, and Wanxuan Zhenren frowned." Why is your soul injured?"”
Ye Kong's heart skipped a beat. F * ck, she really is a f * cking immortal. She could tell that my soul was injured with a single glance.
At that moment, he told the truth, saying that when he was sitting, he didn't know how to do it and injured himself. However, he didn't dare to say anything about the complete collection of talismans in his head.
Wanxuan Zhenren didn't doubt it either. He smiled and said," Cultivate by yourself? Come, stretch out your wrist and let me see if you have a spirit root.”
Wanxuan Zhenren put his hand on Ye Kong's wrist, and everyone around him stared intently at his face. The Second Mistress kept praying in her heart," No, no, shake your head, shake your head..."
Ye Haoran was also staring at Wanxuan Zhenren's face, his fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles had turned blue from the blood loss. Ye Kong was his last hope, so how could he not be nervous?
This moment seemed to be extremely long. Everyone held their breaths. The Second Mistress prayed and shook her head. Ye Haoran nodded in anticipation.
However, Wanxuan Zhenren didn't shake his head or nod his head. Instead, he smiled.
Of course, it wasn't a happy smile, nor was it a mocking smile. It was a rather sarcastic smile.
Ye Haoran didn't know what Wanxuan Zhenren meant. He quickly asked," Zhenren, is there any hope for my son?"”
"No, I haven't." Wanxuan Zhenren let go of Ye Kong's hand and said calmly.
Ye Haoran did not give up and asked again," Then why is the Immortal laughing?”
Ye Kong was also cursing in his heart. F * ck, why are you laughing when there's no hope? Shaking me?
Wanxuan Zhenren laughed and said," I'm laughing at his poor aptitude and unimaginably messy spiritual roots. He's the worst fake spiritual root I've ever seen.”
"Pseudo spirit root?" Ye Haoran and Ye Wei didn't understand what he meant.
Wan Xuan explained. It turned out that the spiritual root was the perception of spiritual energy. If one could sense spiritual energy, then one could cultivate. If one could not even sense spiritual energy, how could one absorb spiritual energy to nourish one's inner core?
However, this spirit root was also different. The best one was called a single spirit root, also known as a heavenly spirit root. In other words, this immortal cultivator was particularly sensitive to the spiritual qi of a certain attribute. If these people were matched with a cultivation technique of the same attribute, their cultivation would be called fast. There was no bottleneck before the Yuanying stage, which was the best aptitude. Only one or two appeared in a thousand years.
Someone asked why a single spiritual root could cultivate so quickly. The answer was simple: pure. Whether it was gold, diamonds, pills, or spiritual roots, the purer the better. How could they be good if they were all impure?
Below the single spiritual root was the double spiritual root. Although it was not as good as the single spiritual root, the double spiritual root was not bad. If it was the lightning spiritual root with the mixed wood and earth attributes, or the ice spiritual root with the mixed water and wood attributes, it was also very good. It was called a mutated spiritual root, which was also very rare. However, some double attributes were not good, such as the fire and water attributes. These two attributes were originally conflicting and could easily cause Qi deviation during cultivation.
The next step was the three attributes, which were quite common. Many Foundation Establishment cultivators had three attributes. Unless they had a fortuitous encounter, they generally would not break through to the Golden Core Stage. Wanxuan Zhenren was one of them.
Next was the four-attribute, which was already considered a pseudo spirit root. Generally speaking, one would not be able to build their foundation in their lifetime. It was even difficult to reach the peak of the Qi Refining Stage. However, because the large sects could not accept people with good aptitude, they also accepted pseudo spirit roots with four attributes.
The worst was the penta spirit root, which was no longer an ordinary mess. Cultivation would definitely not have a future. It would be twice the effort and half the effort. It would be difficult for such a person to even enter the rudiments of cultivation for the rest of his life.
According to Wanxuan Zhenren's examination of his meridians, Ye Kong belonged to this type of penta spiritual root, and the five types of spiritual energy were very chaotic, so his aptitude was considered to be of the lowest of the low. In Wanxuan Zhenren's opinion, even if this child cultivated for his entire life, he would never be able to break through to the early-stage of Qi Refining, and the early-stage of Qi Refining might not necessarily be much stronger than a martial arts master in the mortal world, so he might as well stay at home and learn martial arts.
Ye Haoran was extremely disappointed at this moment, but he was still reluctant to give up this last life-saving straw. He begged again," Immortal, although my son's aptitude is extremely poor, he still has spiritual roots. It's already too late for him to learn martial arts now. Even if he's in the early stage of the Qi Refinement realm, it's because the Ye family has an immortal.”
Ye Kong wasn't willing to lose his Immortal destiny just like that, so he pleaded," That's right, Master Immortal, even though I'm not very talented, I can still endure the hardships of life…"
Wanxuan Zhenren interrupted him with a snort and laughed sarcastically." The achievements of Immortal Cultivators are determined by their spiritual roots. It's not enough to just endure hardships. Otherwise, all the major sects would have gone to the docks to accept coolies as disciples.”
Ye Kong felt depressed. I'm such a scoundrel. I missed the time to learn martial arts, and I have the most trashy spiritual roots for cultivation. Am I really not going to give me a way out?
Seeing that this matter was about to fall through again, Ye Kong felt that he had to seize this opportunity and perform a little. Perhaps the old immortal would change his mind?
Ye Kong made up his mind and said loudly," Immortal Master, you're wrong! I heard that the achievements of immortal cultivators are not determined by their aptitude. The best spiritual root is not the heavenly spiritual root!”
"Oh?" As soon as Ye Kong said this, everyone stared at him. Ye Haoran was a little worried, wondering if the immortal master was wrong. What would a mortal like you know? However, Ye Haoran didn't say anything to stop him, hoping that there might be a turn of events.
"I don't understand, but I'm willing to hear the details.”Wanxuan Zhenren was also waiting for him to speak curiously.
Ye Kong smiled, cupped his hands at Wanxuan Zhenren, and said," Immortal Master, I believe that the biggest determining factor for an Immortal Cultivator's future success is not talent, but Immortal fate! The best spirit root was not the heavenly spirit root, but the bitter spirit root!”
