Hua Guangbai quickly prepared Jie Li's spiritual roots and then continued the operation. As soon as Jie Li got off the operating table, he tried to recharge his spiritual energy, and the aura that had been stagnant for many years began to flow again.
Somehow the news got out, and unsurprisingly, Industrial Sect became a hot topic again.
Many people who were born with inferior and waste spiritual roots secretly contacted Zhu Changyang, wanting to pay a large sum of money to purchase this method of charging their spiritual roots.
Zhu Changyang was overwhelmed and had to announce to the public that this method was not yet universally applicable.
First of all, the spiritual root was originally his own, but it was damaged in an accident later. This method is actually just a repair, not a reconstruction, and the Industrial Sect does not have the ability to create spiritual roots.
Secondly, spiritual roots are only a way to absorb spiritual energy, and the most important thing for cultivation advancement is talent recognition. However, talent and spiritual roots often coexist, and there are few high-quality spiritual roots without matching talents to digest them, so everyone is used to treating spiritual roots as talents.
Jie Li was originally a very intelligent person, but he just couldn't gather Qi. If others ignored their own conditions and forcibly charged their Qi, it would actually be no different from using spirit stones to pile up their cultivation, and they might explode and die.
Having said that, there are still some people who refuse to give up, otherwise the evil method of using spirit stones to increase cultivation would not have been rampant despite repeated bans.
Zhu Changyang couldn't stand it anymore, so he simply closed the secret order in the jade book and forbade others to add him as a friend.
Two days later, Jie Li took Li Ying and Xuan Yang back to Fubiao Mountain first.
Zhu Changyang and Jun Shu, carrying the developer, and the other six members of the top eight followed the members of the Wenxin Pavilion to Yiye Kingdom.
The group changed teleportation arrays several times, traveling day and night, and it took them two full days to finally arrive at Yingzhou, located in the southeast of Piaomiao Continent.
After resting for a while in the city where mortals live, Zuo Zhe led everyone out of the city and came to a cliff when the sun set.
There are large patches of strange reeds growing on the edge of the cliff. The reed flowers are light golden in color and extend diagonally towards the bottom of the cliff.
To the east is the vast ocean with roaring waves.
At the end of the night, a bright moon is slowly rising from the horizon.
It is said that when the moon is at its zenith, its reflection in the sea is where the One Leaf Heaven is.
"Everyone, One Leaf Heaven is not far away." Zuo Zhe pointed to where the moonlight shone, "Next, I will lead you there."
This “everyone” refers to the top eight contestants. Wenxin Pavilion and other accompanying personnel stopped here and waited for news.
The eight contestants immediately took a step forward.
Zhu Changyang glanced at the bottom of the cliff, but saw that the sea was vast and there were no ships. He asked curiously, "How do we get across?"
He had read the introduction before that there was a natural maze in the sea where the One Leaf Kingdom was located. It seemed vast and calm, but in fact there were undercurrents. Without the guidance of people from the kingdom of heaven, it was easy to get lost in it and never get out.
Therefore, even though the cultivators from the Nine Regions have the ability to wield swords and swim, they usually don't dare to go there without permission.
Zhu Changyang thought that Jingtian Palace would have a boat to pick them up.
"This depends on your skills." Zuo Zhe smiled slightly, stretched out two fingers, and made a bending motion. A reed stem next to him broke and flew into his hand. "Have you heard of the method of crossing the river with a reed?"
It is said that this reed is called Jade Hook Soul, a magical grass that grows with the moonlight. If you throw it into the water, it will go towards the moon shadow. So as long as you use the Moon Stone of Jingtian Palace as a guide and swim on the Jade Hook Soul, you can cross the maze and reach the One Leaf Heavenly Kingdom.
Zuo Zhe gave each person a moonstone and taught them the secret of crossing the river on a reed. Then he stepped aside and watched them perform freely.
The eight finalists are all the best among the rookies in the Nine Realms, and their comprehension abilities are beyond doubt.
Soon, everyone picked up the jade hooks, made boats out of reeds, and rode on them.
"Very good." Zuo Zhe nodded, and threw the reed in his hand into the sea, then stepped on it, "Follow me."
"Ah!" The physical practitioner screamed, his feet half-sunk in the water, and he staggered, "I haven't learned it all yet..."
The art of crossing the river on a reed requires a very strong method of controlling objects, which is exactly what sword cultivators are good at. Tan Tai Buqi used talismans to attach to the art, and learned it quickly. Yu Ni and the magic cultivator were not good at controlling objects, but they were good at cultivating qi, and their bodies were light, so they could quickly ride on the leaves without falling.
The only thing is that the physical training method has a natural weakness in this aspect, and it takes a little longer to learn than others.
The physical practitioner said hastily, "Mr. Zuo, please wait for me for another two hours. I will definitely be able to learn it."
Two hours is not a long time to learn a new spell, and compared to most newcomers, it is definitely outstanding.
Zuo Zhe shook his head and said regretfully: "In a little while, the Jade Hook will sink to the west, and we will not be able to catch up."
After saying this, he no longer listened to the physical cultivator's plea, and with a flick of his fingers, the reed flowers under his feet bloomed with a faint light and floated towards the depths of the sea.
The physical cultivator became more and more anxious, and tried hard to drive the reed forward, but it only made him sink deeper and deeper. Finally, he had no choice but to give up, and jumped back to the top of the cliff, kneeling in front of the elder who accompanied him from his own sect, and whined softly: "My disciple is useless..."
The elder helped him up and sighed, "That's all, it's fate."
It's really not his fault, he can only accept his fate as it is.
The other contestants didn't expect that someone would be eliminated just after the start. They couldn't help but sigh when they heard the sobbing of the physical trainer. It was not easy to get into the quarterfinals, but they were eliminated like this. No one would be willing to accept this.
But seeing Zuo Zhe walking away gracefully, everyone didn't care about anything else and quickly activated their magic spells to follow him.
Zhu Changyang looked at Jun Shu habitually and urged, "Let's go."
Jun Shu looked back at him, thought for a while, and said seriously: "My reeds are also going to sink."
Zhu Changyang:
How can it be!
With Jun Shu's level of cultivation, it would not be a problem for him to cross the entire sea directly.
Just as he was about to ask more, he saw Jun Shu lightly tap his feet, skimming across the water, landing behind him leisurely, and putting one hand on his waist, saying, "Then I'll take your windward reed."
The developer poked his head out of Zhu Changyang's pocket and said, "Meow meow meow."
Jun Shu rubbed the cat's head and said, "Shangzai said welcome."
Zhu Changyang: “…”
Studio:
[The moonlight on the sea, a reed crossing the river, what a beautiful picture! ]
[Am I the only one who feels like the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea? ]
[Who says it isn’t? It’s just a matter of showing off one’s magical power… ]
The reeds gradually moved away from the land and into the depths of the sea. The fog above the water became thicker and the vision became hazy.
After traveling for about an hour, all they could see was a vast expanse of land with no end in sight.
Zu Qiushi couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Zuo, how long will it take us to reach Yiye Heaven?"
Zuo Zhe said: "According to the current speed, it will take about three hours."
"It's going to take that long?" Zu Qiushi glanced up at the sky. "What if the moon falls?"
Yu Gou Po travels by borrowing the light of the moon.
"Then there is nothing we can do." Zuo Zhe said, "If we don't reach Yiye Heavenly Kingdom before the sun sets, Yu Gou Po will turn back."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone became anxious.
Ming Rusu asked, "Mr. Zuo, can we speed up a bit?"
"Okay." Zuo Zhe nodded, "Then you better follow closely. If you fall behind, don't blame me."
He pointed his two fingers upwards towards the bright moon. The moonlight shining on the reeds grew brighter, and the reed flowers shone brightly, and suddenly shot forward like an arrow.
Seeing this, others also quickly took action.
Their Taoism is different from that of Jingtian Palace. They cannot use the moonlight like Zuozhe, but can only use their own strengths to activate the reeds.
Ming Rusu and Zu Qiushi summoned their long swords and cleared the way. Tan Tai Buqi attached a swiftness charm to Lu Wei. Yu Ni simply summoned her big koi and let it lead the Jade Hook Soul to charge wildly.
Just as Jun Shu was about to summon the Water-Splitting Sword, the developer jumped out first, transformed into a black tiger, stepped on the water in mid-air, looked back at them, and roared majestically: "Ah—"
Zhu Changyang laughed: "Okay, you come."
Jun Shu immediately drove the Pi Shui Sword back. Just as the developer was about to move, he saw the magic practitioner next to him stamping his feet anxiously: "It's over, it's over, I can't speed up!"
The others wanted to help, but they had just learned the method of using reeds to cross the water and were not yet proficient. Each reed leaf had its own path, and for a moment they did not know how to communicate with each other.
"Don't panic. After dawn, Yu Gou Po will return." Zuo Zhe's voice came from the front, "Others please follow me quickly."
Everyone then realized that this was also a test along the way, and they could only hurry to chase after it.
The magic cultivator refused to admit defeat. He rummaged in the mustard seed bag for a while, and finally found a piece of cloth, which he made into a sail. "I don't believe I can't catch up with you."
Zhu Changyang was moved by his perseverance and took out a small multi-purpose propeller and handed it to him: "Fellow Daoist, try this."
That person: "I'm afraid it's too late to learn the magic weapon now..."
Zuo Zhe didn't wait for anyone and ran far away!
Zhu Changyang said: "It's not a magic weapon."
The man: “What is that?”
The developer watched Zuo Zhe gradually go away and couldn't help but become anxious. With an "Awooo", he hooked the Jade Hook Soul with his tail and ran out on the water like a gust of wind without caring about what the magician did.
Zhu Changyang could only hastily throw away the propeller and said, "You can figure it out yourself."
The demon king's lineage was born with the ability to control water, and with Xuan Yang's guidance, the developer's cultivation level has increased a lot during this period, and the speed is extremely fast.
Zuo Zhe looked back and saw some people using swords, talismans, and fish. He nodded with satisfaction: "Everyone's skills are indeed extraordinary..."
Before he could finish, a black tiger ran over and roared at him, "Ahhh!"
Jun Shu: "So you don't have to wait for it."
Zuo Zhe: “…”
Why is it threatening
And, is this Yaohu's intention or Jun Shu's intention
"It's my fault." Zuo Zhe couldn't argue with a monster, so he apologized quickly and continued, "According to the current speed, we will arrive in about another hour."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little disappointed. Tan Tai Buqi sighed, "It's a pity that there is still a fellow Taoist who couldn't catch up..."
Before he finished speaking, a sorcerer suddenly shouted from behind: "Wait for me—"
Everyone was surprised and looked back, only to see the magician squatting on a reed with one hand in the water. He was holding something in his hand that made a rumbling sound in the water.
The reed flew forward rapidly in the sound, leaving a faintly visible white line on the black sea.
The others were fine, but Zhu Changyang was the first to be shocked: "...!"
How did this brother figure it out? He actually held the propeller in his hands!
Studio:
[I am so shocked. Is this how to use a machine without professional guidance? ]
[The cultivation world is still strong, really ruthless iron hand, if it were an ordinary person, he would probably blow himself away]
[A Reed Crossing the River (Handheld Engine Version)]
[This time everyone really showed off their special abilities… ]
The author has something to say:
Shangzai: Swallow you!
