Yu Zhengzheng closed her eyes, held her breath, and her arms hanging by her sides were tightly taut.
She secretly hoped that Xiang Feng could be more efficient, so that he wouldn't have to kill her with one blow and then have to kill her again.
I don’t know how long it took, but the expected severe pain did not come, and screams broke out in the Holy Spirit Hall.
"It's green light! The green light of the wood spirit root!"
"Oh my god! How can a wood spiritual root have spiritual power?!"
"Am I seeing things? After more than a thousand years, she is still the first cultivator with wood spiritual roots who possesses spiritual power!"
She opened her eyes in a daze, and in a trance she saw the bright light on the Lingyun Pearl. It was an extremely light green light, symbolizing the spiritual power of the wood spirit root.
Shanshui smiled happily: "I said that Miss Zhengzheng doesn't need to cheat. She has the Yang attribute of wood spirit roots."
The sister of the Yuling Sect said hurriedly, "She is obviously a wood spirit root, but she just tested out a fire spirit root. She must have stolen the bracelet made of scaly-winged silkworm silk, which caused the Lingyun Pearl to show abnormality."
Although the old woman was very surprised, she did not show it at all: "They are right. Maybe she stole her sister's bracelet."
Yu Zhengzheng finally came back to her senses from the shock. She suppressed her excitement and wanted to do a 360-degree spin and splits, and said slowly: "I didn't steal her bracelet."
The sisters of the Yuling Sect sneered: "Your spiritual power is low, and you must be jealous of your sister's scaly-winged silk bracelet, so you did such a despicable thing."
The old woman was still resentful of Xiang Feng's loss of face, so she naturally spoke to them at this moment: "No matter what, she cheated and was a thief, so she can't pass this assessment..."
Xiang Feng interrupted the old woman: "It's not her."
"The white robe she is wearing is the king's clothing." He explained in a light voice, "This robe is made of scaly-winged silkworm silk. The whole body requires tens of thousands of silk threads, but the woman's bracelet only uses four silk threads."
Having said that, there is no need to make the next words clear.
She was wearing a robe made of tens of thousands of silkworm silk threads, so how could she possibly be interested in Yu Jiangjiang's bracelet made of four silk threads
The Holy Spirit Hall was in an uproar again. The people who had just mocked her changed their attitude at this moment. They looked at her white robe as if they saw a walking mobile spirit stone base station.
Tens of thousands of silkworm silk threads, what does that mean
Even if all the wealth of all the sects in the entire cultivation world were added together, it would probably not be as valuable as the white robe that Yu Zhengzheng was wearing...
Envious gasps were heard one after another as everyone was happily complimenting Yu Zhengzheng, wishing they could kowtow to her on the spot and become sworn sisters with her.
Yu Zhengzheng smiled good-temperedly: "My sister lost her bracelet, and I am the only person who has had contact with her. It is not surprising that she thinks I stole it."
"Now that I have proven my innocence, I still have to help my sister find the bracelet. After all, it was the bracelet that my father bought with the public funds of Qingshang Temple three years ago..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Zhengzheng suddenly covered her mouth and acted as if she had said something wrong.
In recent years, fewer and fewer people have achieved immortality through cultivation and ascension, the number of people entering the world of immortal cultivation has also decreased. All major sects are unable to make ends meet and are suffering.
In order to encourage more people to join the ranks of immortal cultivation, the heavenly realm specially established a Qingshang Palace, and allocated public funds to the major sects in the immortal cultivation world every year to train talents.
The responsibility of managing Qingshang Palace originally fell on the head of the leader of Yuling Sect, the largest sect in the world of immortal cultivation. However, in order to avoid suspicion, the leader of Yuling Sect pushed the management power to the leader of Penglai Mountain.
Her scumbag father had embezzled public funds many times, and the spirit stones used to buy the scaly-winged silk bracelet were naturally used from it. Later, when the heavenly realm discovered that there were a lot fewer spirit stones in the treasury, her scumbag father made excuses, saying that a thief had broken into the Qingshang Palace.
In the original book, the scumbag father's crimes were exposed a few years later. In order to save the scumbag father, the heroine Yu Jiangjiang had already escaped from the clutches of the senior brother, but had no choice but to run back with the baby and ask the senior brother to help the scumbag father overcome the difficulties.
Today, one problem after another has arisen. If the cultivators present were not unable to leave the Ghost Sect at this moment, they would have reported the matter to the sect immediately.
Three years ago, the Qingshang Palace was robbed and more than 10,000 top-grade spirit stones were lost, causing all major sects to tighten their belts over the past two years. Many cultivators even had their ascension delayed because of this incident.
In the end, it turned out that the leader of Penglai Mountain embezzled public funds to buy magical tools for his own daughter. This was so shameless!
Those who had just envied Yu Jiangjiang for breaking through the Jindan stage at the age of 18, now looked at him with contempt and disgust.
If it weren't for Yu Jiangjiang's bracelet, they wouldn't have to live in such a tight financial situation in the past two years. Now that the bracelet is lost, it must be retribution.
Yu Zhengzheng walked to Yu Jiangjiang's side and held her hand: "Sister, please look for it quickly. I think the bracelet may be on you."
Yu Jiangjiang's face turned pale, as if something had been revealed about her. Her bracelet was indeed not lost, but was hidden by herself.
She just wanted Yu Zhengzheng's cheating to be discovered, but she never expected that things would develop like this.
Even now, she still hasn't figured out how Yu Zhengzheng knew about this.
Daddy handled the matter perfectly, and apart from her and mom, no one else knew about it.
Now, the monks of the Holy Spirit Temple will definitely send a letter back to the sect. When this matter is exposed, I don’t know how the heaven will punish my father.
Seeing that it was almost time, Yu Zhengzheng stopped provoking Yu Jiangjiang. There was still a lot of life to come. If Yu Jiangjiang was ruined by her, who would have the tragic love affair with the senior brother in the future
She looked up at the old woman who had been determined to kill her: "Did I pass the test?"
The old woman's face didn't look good, and she seemed to have not yet reacted. She stared at Yu Zhengzheng in a daze: "The king's clothes, how could it be..."
Yu Zhengzheng raised her lips and smiled: "Luan Palace is too cold, the Ghost King is afraid that I will be cold."
What she said meant one thing, but what everyone else heard meant another.
The old woman immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to her: "I am a foolish woman who cannot recognize a great man. Miss Yu, please do not take it personally..."
Yu Zhengzheng naturally wouldn't really argue with the old woman. It was purely an accident that she was able to get away with it today. She had no idea where the green light came from.
It might be related to the Ghost King's white robe. Maybe when she took off the white robe, the Lingyun Pearl would stop reacting.
She understood the principle of quitting while she was ahead, so she smiled and walked forward to help the old woman up: "It's all a misunderstanding, you just want to help my sister out of kindness."
These words have two meanings. On the surface, they are trying to give the old woman a way out, but in fact, they are trying to tell the old woman that if Yu Jiangjiang and the two sisters from the Yuling Sect had not deliberately instigated the old woman to misunderstand, things would not have developed like this.
When the old woman heard this, her eyes changed. She couldn't suppress her anger and glared at Yu Jiangjiang viciously.
Yu Jiangjiang was so frightened that his calves went weak and he almost fell to the ground.
The assessment continued, and Shanshui took the two groups that had completed the assessment to the heavenly steps of the holy spring water.
Xiang Feng wanted to stay in the Holy Spirit Temple to continue his assessment, so he did not go with them.
Shanshui was very excited along the way: "Miss Zhengzheng is so amazing. Shanshui hasn't seen a cultivator with wood spiritual roots for a long time."
Yu Zhengzheng's face turned red due to the compliment. If she wasn't inconvenient outside at the moment, she would have been impatient to open the storage bracelet and take out her malnourished spiritual herbs to take a look.
She is still dazed and feels like she is dreaming.
Yu Zhengzheng said gratefully: "Today is all thanks to Miss Shanshui. If it weren't for you, I would have become a corpse now."
At this point, she suddenly remembered something, and after hesitating for a moment, she couldn't help but ask, "I wonder why Miss Shanshui joined the Ghost Sect?"
Everyone in the Ghost Sect is a vicious and cruel person. Shanshui looks innocent and kind, and doesn't look like a villain at all.
Shanshui pointed to the holy spring steps not far away and said, "I have been lying on those steps since I can remember. I was originally a coffin, but my master thought I was comfortable to sleep in, so he picked me up and used me as a bed."
The corners of Yu Zhengzheng's mouth twitched. It turned out that Shanshui was a coffin that turned into a spirit. So that day when Shanshui said it was getting late and he wanted to go back to sleep with his master, he was actually using it as a bed for Protector Xiang
She had only spoken a few words to Shanshui when a circle of monks gathered around her. They all had cautious flattery on their faces and were vying to be her friend.
Yu Zhengzheng found it a little difficult to digest for a while. She was used to being alone in Penglai Mountain. Normally, no one would take the initiative to talk to her, let alone anyone willing to be her friend.
On the contrary, Yu Jiangjiang used to be very popular, but at this moment even the two sisters from the Yuling Sect were unwilling to approach her. It was obvious that she was deliberately isolated by everyone.
Led by Shanshui, everyone arrived at the Holy Spring Water Steps.
The holy spring water of the heavenly grade is used for marrow cleansing. It is necessary to remove the impurities in the bodies of monks day by day so that they can better exert the effect of their own furnace.
Yu Zhengzheng looked up at the heavenly steps. She originally thought that the holy spring water would be like a hot spring, and everyone could soak in it to cleanse their marrow.
In fact, the Heavenly Stairs were just layers of stone steps. Holy spring water slid down from the end and flowed down the stone steps. As long as they climbed to the top barefoot, they could complete a marrow cleansing.
A male monk next to Yu Zhengzheng took off his shoes, and a pungent sour smell hit her in the face, just like the leeks and garlic stuck in her teeth overnight. The smell was so irritating that she almost vomited her intestines.
The male monk had just finished taping her feet when he saw her suddenly vomit. He hurriedly stepped forward to support her and asked, "Miss Yu, are you pregnant with the Ghost King's child?"
Yu Zhengzheng vomited even more violently.
She shook off his hand with difficulty, and then she heard Shanshui admonishing everyone, "Tianjie can foresee the future. No matter what you see, don't get excited, lest you become unstable and get scalded by the holy spring water."
The temperature of the holy spring water depends on a person's mood.
If your mind is free of distractions, it will be like cold water, otherwise it will become warmer. In the past, someone was scalded to death by the holy spring water because of his excitement when walking on the Heavenly Stairs.
Yu Zhengzheng was afraid that the male cultivator had athlete's foot, so she quickly rushed up to the heavenly steps and ran up quickly before the male cultivator.
She was running in front, and the male cultivator was chasing her like a cheetah. She looked at her hands in frustration. She didn't have any syrup in her hands, so why was he chasing her
Just as she was about to reach the end of the Heavenly Stairs, a hallucination appeared before her eyes.
Yu Zhengzheng saw the senior brother holding her hand gently, and she was carrying a round belly. The two of them walked down the stairs to heaven with happy faces.
She was in a trance and rubbed her eyes three or four times before she was sure that the person the senior brother was holding in his hand was not Yu Jiangjiang, but herself.
Yu Zhengzheng: “…”
The originally icy-cold holy spring water suddenly heated up, like boiling water, so hot that she couldn't help but jump up.
Thinking of Shanshui's instructions, she tried hard to control her excited heart, forced herself not to let her mind wander, and walked the rest of the stairs with her body stiff.
She wanted to go down and ask Shanshui about it, but Shanshui had already left, so she had to put on her shoes and follow the group back to her residence.
As soon as she returned, she heard people talking outside Tianhe Garden, saying that the guardian had left a female cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage in the Holy Spirit Hall and sent her to Luan Hall to serve the Ghost King.
Everyone was a little jealous. Everyone knew that Yu Zhengzheng served the Ghost King for a night and was rewarded by the Ghost King with a white robe made of scaly-winged silkworm silk.
I wonder what kind of top-grade magical weapon this female cultivator can get from the Ghost King.
Yu Zhengzheng ignored them. They didn't know how terrifying the Ghost King was. She had been to Luan Palace once and didn't want to go there again in her life.
After entering the house, she took out the spiritual herb and observed it carefully for a while. The spiritual herb seemed to have grown a little, but it also seemed that there was no change.
After watering, she carefully put the spiritual herbs back into the storage bracelet.
Yu Zhengzheng didn't sleep all night. Yu Jiangjiang sat by the couch, holding the Qingyan sword and staring at her most of the night. She was afraid that she would fall asleep and not wake up.
The next morning, crying sounds were heard outside the yard. Yu Zhengzheng went over and found out that the female cultivator who was sent to Luan Palace last night had died.
Shanshui brought the body back. The body was covered with white cloth. One of the arms was covered with ice crystals, and it looked like the person had frozen to death.
Yu Zhengzheng felt a little scared. If the Ghost King had not thrown the white robe to her that day, she would have frozen to death like that female cultivator.
She suddenly remembered that the Ghost King's communication bracelet was still in her hand, so she quickly called Shanshui aside and handed the communication bracelet to Shanshui.
Shanshui was a little embarrassed: "The king seems to be away from Luan Palace today. Without the king's order, the Ghost Sect members cannot enter Luan Palace privately."
She continued, "Miss Zhengzheng is not from the Ghost Sect. If you want to go, I can accompany you."
Yu Zhengzheng could tell that Shanshui was also afraid of the Ghost King. She sighed, and walked towards the Wuchuan River with Shanshui.
The Wuchuan River was still shrouded in white mist. This time she did not let Shanshui take the lead, but walked in front herself.
As soon as you step onto the single-plank bridge, the phantom of the eldest brother follows.
He looked at her with a smile, and tried to coax her into giving him the magical herb with sweet words.
Yu Zhengzheng had experience, so he walked steadily this time and raised his hand to smash the spiritual herb on the eldest senior brother's head.
She thought that the phantom was burned out and everything was over, but before she had walked far, she saw the figure of the eldest brother on the single-plank bridge again.
This time, he stood with his hands behind his back, dressed in white, on the single-plank bridge.
Yu Zhengzheng was so angry that she laughed as she looked at his back. He had been standing in the river before, but this time he was brave enough to run onto the bridge
She held the spiritual herb in her hands and whispered, "Big Brother."
Rong Shang was startled and turned his head to look at her.
He frowned, why was she here
"you… "
Yu Zhengzheng smiled slightly, rushed towards him at the speed of a 100-meter sprint, and kicked him in the butt with all her might.
With a "splash" sound, a huge splash of water appeared in the Wuchuan River.
Shanshui, who was following behind her, turned pale: "Your Majesty..."
Yu Zhengzheng turned around with a smile: "Miss Shanshui, what did you say?"
