In addition to training, eating every day, half a month passed in a hurry, the ice aura in Li Jinzhi's body was the size of a baby's fist, and it seemed that he was about to enter the second level of Qi training.
And Ye Yu's practice is harder than he imagined. Except for three meals a day, he is all sitting cross-legged.
Li Jinzhi asked about the other party's cultivation situation, but all he got was silence. Looking at Ye Yu, who was gradually handsome, Li Jinzhi's heart sank straight down.
He doesn't want to see the other party doing useless work again, it would be nice if there was a method for testing spiritual roots...
As soon as the idea came out, Li Jinzhi suddenly remembered that there seems to be a spiritual test plate in the medicinal medicine pavilion of Lijiabao. As long as there is a child in the fort who is one year old, it will be used to test the spiritual root.
"Let's go, go to the medicinal herb pavilion with me!" He stood up suddenly and pulled Ye Yu out in a hurry. After turning left and right around for more than half an hour, I had to change Ye Yu to lead the way.
This pavilion is located on the edge of Lijiabao, leaning against the ice wall, which shows that Lijiabao attaches great importance to this pavilion. And in front of the attic is a towering ice tree!
This tree is like ice but not ice, like wood but not wood, the leaves are crystal clear, magnificent and unparalleled, a thriving scene.
But Li Jinzhi didn't look at the canopy of the ice tree, but focused on the roots of the ice tree, the flower beds paved with countless black pebbles...
"What's wrong?" Ye Yu glanced at Li Jinzhi who was behind him, and followed his line of sight to the flower bed.
Li Jinzhi didn't answer, he walked a few steps to the flower bed and started looking for it, because he remembered that the flower bed seemed to be mentioned in the plot...
A few days before leaving home, Li Jinzhi went to the Medicine Pill Pavilion to collect medicine pills, and found a phoenix-shaped jade pendant in the ice tree flower bed. Seeing the strange shape, he gave it to Ye Dier, whom he later met.
This jade pendant is one of the suspense left by the author. I know it is expensive, but it never mentions why it is extraordinary. Just looking at the speed of Ye Die'er wearing the jade pendant, you can see the extraordinary.
Li Jinzhi has a vague feeling that the purpose of this jade pendant is not only that, it must be found.
Ye Yu stood behind Li Jinzhi, watching him rummaging through his waist looking for something, his brows wrinkled inadvertently, and he waited quietly to stop talking.
Just by looking at the thick roots of the towering ice tree, it must be hugged by five or six adults, and you can tell how big the flower bed is. It is really not easy to find a phoenix-like shape among the dense black pebbles.
Half an hour later, Li Jinzhi simply climbed up the flower bed and went to the depths to find the jade pendant.
"What are you looking for? Do you need my help?" Ye Yu looked at the other party's movements and finally couldn't help asking.
Li Jinzhi grabbed the stone and said without turning his head, "Go ahead and borrow a spirit test plate, and say it's what I want."
Ye Yu glanced at the other party, turned around the flower bed and entered the medicinal herb pavilion. When he came out again, Li Jinzhi sat on the flower bed with his back to him, looking down at something.
After walking a few steps forward, the object in the other's hand was exposed. It was just a black stone with a faint phoenix shape. The carving was rough, and only a few lines were used to outline it. It is really not good-looking. Not to mention that the top is covered with frozen soil, which is even more rough.
"..." Seeing Ye Yu coming out, Li Jinzhi twitched the corner of his mouth and squeezed the black stone in his hand, and said indifferently, "Let's go."
Ye Yu followed the other party onto the pontoon bridge and asked tentatively, "Do you like this kind of stone?"
"..." Li Jinzhi paused, scratching his head embarrassingly, "Well, it's very clear, and it will shine." After that, in order to verify his words, he raised the black stone and pointed it at the sun, and there was a faint red line in the light. flow.
"It's... nice." Ye Yu looked at the bright-eyed boy, twitched the corners of his mouth, secretly remembering the other party's preference, clearing the glowing stone.
Li Jinzhi glanced at the black stone and pouted, what kind of mentality did this guy use to say such unintended words? Also, what about the fancy appearance? Male protagonist, has your aesthetic been eaten by the villain!
Looking at the simple appearance and the black permafrost, this phoenix-shaped jade is almost no different from a stone. It's rare that Ye Die'er doesn't dislike it and hangs it around her neck every day.
After returning to the room, Li Jinzhi threw the black stone in his hand into the foot basin, turned around and took the spirit test plate from the other party's hand.
Li Jinzhi, who had known how to use it for a long time, dragged it with one hand, and the spiritual energy slowly flowed along the meridians, and finally poured out of the palm of his hand and acted on the spiritual detection plate.
"Put your hands up quickly, the movement method will sense the spiritual energy of the world!" He raised his head and urged.
Ye Yu didn't hesitate, closed his eyes and put his hands on it.
There was no movement on the spiritual measuring plate. After waiting for a while, just when Li Jinzhi was uneasy, a dazzling white light suddenly burst out from the jade body, and there were faint red silk threads moving frantically!
But this light disappeared very quickly, and even Ye Yu, who had just opened his eyes, only caught a flash of white light that disappeared quickly.
"..." Li Jinzhi frowned, what are those red lines
If it is said to be a double spiritual root, then there should be two colors of light that open in half on the spiritual detection plate, but just now there was only one color, and the struggling red silk thread was clearly a living thing.
Like tiny - snakes.
"Try again." Ye Yu said calmly, frowning tightly.
But to their disappointment, no matter how many times they reappeared, the white light never reappeared.
"No need to try." Ye Yu sat on the chair with his head down, his voice depressed, "I don't have spiritual roots. No matter how many times I try, I can't change this fact. It's a waste of your spiritual power."
Li Jinzhi didn't speak, he frowned and put the spirit test plate on the table, but he remembered something, which was also about the foreshadowing left by the author.
[The male protagonist, Li Jinzhi, was only able to enter the Dao at the end of the month. In the first test of Xianmen, the spiritual test disk caused an abnormality, and the sudden bright light flashed quickly, like a flash in the pan. Immortal Sect disciples were surprised but did not go into depth, they just thought that the spiritual test disk was damaged, and the test was fruitless.
But the male protagonist has successfully entered the Tao again, and he has no choice but to bring the male protagonist back to Xianmen—]
But this kind of situation is now happening to Ye Yu. Could it be that something should have happened to him, and he was overtaken by Ye Yu? Could it be that the medicine that inhibits the root of the spirit is...
"..." Li Jinzhi lowered his eyes and stared at the spirit-detecting disk with his brows furrowed. After a while, he said, "I'm sorry."
"It's not your fault that you don't have spiritual roots." Ye Yu said in a low voice, extremely disappointed, it's not that there is no hope of becoming an immortal, but that you can't stay by your side for a long time, "When I get old, maybe you will still be as young as you are now. stop."
"You have spiritual roots." After hearing the other party's words, Li Jinzhi was very depressed, "It's my fault, it's my lack of thought, that day my aunt sent a bowl of soup medicine, I'm afraid she put a medicine to inhibit the spiritual root in it, she also It's not the first time to do something like this, heh, don't worry, there won't be another time." After thinking about it, only this soup that should have entered his stomach was fed to Ye Yu by him.
Ye Yu raised his head abruptly, his eyes lit up, and his hands tugged at Li Jinzhi's sleeves, "In this way, I, I can also cultivate, I won't die prematurely, I won't..." But the voice was choked, and he couldn't say any more. .
"Neither will, but..." Li Jinzhi slammed, closed his eyes and sighed, "I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with the Xianmen first trial in January, and I don't know if I can bring a servant to Xianmen with me."
"Nothing, there will always be a way." Ye Yu grinned stupidly.
.
One month later, the main hall of Li Family Fort was full of people, and the main family and the branch family gathered together, waiting for the arrival of the disciples of Xianmen.
"Zongyin, your eldest son is going to be in the limelight today. The double-spiritual root system is rare." Sitting on the main seat is a square-faced, honest-looking middle-aged man, who is the owner of the Li Family Fort, Li Jinzhi's model. Uncle, Li Zongmu.
"Where is it? The direct son of the head of the family is the only one who is extremely talented and has a dual-spiritual system. Now that he has reached the third level of Qi training, he is really extraordinary." Li Zongyin smiled and said, although he was complimenting others, it was not difficult to hear the words in his words. of contentment.
Li Jinzhi stood quietly behind Li Zongyin as a transparent person, turning a deaf ear to other people's flattering words, but he was thinking about another thing in his heart.
Ye Yu refused to come, and when he heard that someone from the main family would come over at the selection site, the other party refused to come.
Li Jinzhi felt a headache when he recalled how the other party held the pillar of the house and refused to let go.
Could it be that the other party has a grudge against the master's family? He raised his eyes and looked around at the people present at the main house—
The head of the Li family, the wife of the head of the family, the concubine of the head of the family, the second son, the second son, and the son of a concubine.
Who is it
Just when Li Jinzhi was frowning and pondering, there was a sudden sound of breaking air outside the door. Everyone looked up and saw a beautifully decorated carriage flying from the sky, the horse was white, and no one was driving.
When the carriage stopped, a lot of people came out of the carriage, three young men in the same clothes, and five young girls in gorgeous clothes.
After a few people got out of the car, the head of the family, Li Zongmu, got up and greeted them. He cupped his hands and said, "The three immortal masters have come from a long way. Please take your seat." Let the servants lead the three of them to their seats and look at the five young girls, "The five The little friend came from the extreme snow city, the extreme ice city, come and come, and take a seat."
After all the people were arranged, Li Zongmu happily sat back to his seat.
"It's been a few days since we came out this time, and the three of us have to hurry up and don't be polite." The headed Xianmen disciple took out the spirit test plate from his arms, "Let's start, who will come first."
"I'll come first!"
Li Jinzhi stood quietly in the corner and looked up. The person who spoke was not his eldest brother Li Jintang, and the corner of his mouth was hooked. In the original book, the male protagonist was standing near his mother and was pushed up to the first test. In the second test, Li Jintang's spiritual roots were good, and he was admitted to the inner door.
Looking coldly at the other party, he strode forward and attached his hand to the upper end of the magic weapon. In an instant, a burst of red and blue light burst out from the pillar-shaped jade, and the flow of Yingying was very beautiful.
Looking at Li Jintang, he looked at the red and blue light with satisfaction, but the curvature of the corner of his mouth could not be contained.
The disciple holding the magic weapon glanced, turned back to the disciple holding the jade slip, and said, "Water and fire double spiritual roots, aptitude, uh - inferior, enter the outer door." Then he turned to look at Li Jintang, and asked, "Currently How many levels did you practice?"
"..." Li Jintang was stunned for a while, then replied sternly, "Second-tier. How could it be inferior?" She seemed to have suddenly reacted, and asked with a stunned face, "I'm obviously a double-spiritual talent! Why only judge it? I'm inferior?!"
The tester didn't seem to want to say more, just glanced at him, and said, "It is not as good as four spiritual roots to overcome two spiritual roots, the mortal world does not understand such doorways, you are also the only unlucky person in the past hundred years. , tsk tsk, who's next?"
"Pfft." In the quiet hall, someone burst into laughter, Li Jintang angrily turned to look, it was the concubine of the patriarch, "Oh, that's the way it is, if the clan knew about this kind of doorway, how could they waste so much? The energy to cultivate." Bright Yingying's eyes flowed, and glanced at the branch line.
"Siniang, don't be unreasonable!" Li Zongmu shouted, but there was no blame in his tone.
"Yes, Siniang knew it was wrong, Jinren, you can go to the next one." The concubine named Siniang smiled and gave her son a nudge.
Li Jinzhi glanced at his mother Liu's lightly, and the silk handkerchief in his hand was almost turned into a rag. After so many years of calculations, it was difficult for her.
If it wasn't for Ye Yu who helped him drink the bowl of medicine this time, now he is afraid that he has no qualifications to stand here. Although he feels guilty, he has written down the kindness.
It's just that Liu Shi, Li Jinzhi squinted his eyes, and will give her a knowing blow later.
"Wood fire and gold three spiritual roots, medium aptitude, you can enter the inner door to record your name." The cold voice of the immortal disciple came, and Li Jinren's aptitude was also tested.
Then there are the second son and the second son of the main family, who are the wood-earth double-spiritual root and the gold-wood-earth three-spiritual root.
Compared with the bleak clouds of the branch line, the main family is really happy, that's right, only Li Jintang of the branch line tested a relationship and got a low-level comment, and the three sons of the main family all tested it. Out of the root.
The owner stood up cheerfully, with a genuine smile on his face, "This is the end of the test..."
"Wait." Li Zongyin stood up and pulled out Li Jinzhi, who was behind him as the set, "And my second son, Jinzhi, has not yet been tested."
"Yo, Zongyin, you are really confused. Everyone in the castle knew that your son didn't have spiritual roots, so why did you take it out?" The eldest mother of the main family smiled, "Don't delay the immortal master, the castle can prepare spiritual roots. It's too late to entertain the Immortal Master at the Wine Spirit Banquet, but what is it..."
Before this room could finish speaking, the disciple of Chi Linggen interrupted, "Have you drawn qi into your body?" But he was looking at Li Jinzhi.
"Yes." Li Jinzhi lowered his eyes and replied.
"But just now, someone said that you don't have a spiritual root." The disciple said thoughtfully, "If you don't have a spiritual root, how to draw qi, you can try it. In recent years, the aptitude of your city is really average, if it will be the same in the coming year , we will come back every three years."
Li Zongmu stood up, his brows furrowed, and he glanced at the five teenagers with vague eyes, "I don't know the qualifications of other cities this year..."
"Extreme Snow City Ye Die'er, Fire Element Heavenly Spirit Root, Extreme Snow City Ye Min'er, Fire Wood Double Spirit Root, Extreme Ice City Sealed, Fire Earth Double Spirit Root, and the other two are three Spirit Roots. The test disciple smiled and said, "If you leave the Heavenly Spirit Root, you will definitely be valued by the above, and it is unknown if you become a core disciple directly."
Ye Dier? !
Li Jinzhi, who was beside him, was shocked. He quickly glanced at the girl with the same expression, recalling the end of the novel, only to feel the thunder rumbled and the chrysanthemum shrank.
Hello lady! Mistress, why are you here! This is not in the script!
But after a little thought, I can figure out that the male protagonist in the original book was the first to test the spiritual roots.
"Little friend?" The test disciple called Li Jinzhi, "This is the beginning of the test."
Li Jinzhi returned to his senses, took a few steps forward, put his hand on the magic weapon, and closed his eyes to run his spiritual power. After a while, he felt that the voices around him had disappeared.
In fact, he was also very uneasy. The novel only said that when the male protagonist tested his spiritual roots, the light flashed by, but he did not say what the situation would be. When Li Jinzhi opened his eyes, the room was filled with shocked expressions, among which his mother-in-law's expression was the most exciting...
"This..." The test disciple looked at the spirit test disk and looked at it hesitantly, "This has never happened before, what kind of spirit root is this? Is it a double spirit root?"
Only then did Li Jinzhi look down, only to see that the jade was glowing with white light, which was clearly a mutant ice root, but when he looked closely, he could see that there were countless green light spots floating in the white, and the green was like a firefly. Insects fly.
"But shouldn't the double spiritual roots be half-white and green?" The disciple holding the jade slip also stood up and leaned over to take a closer look, "Well, maybe it's because the wood spirit root is extremely small that it shines as a star. spread."
"It's reasonable and reasonable, uh—the ice and wood double spiritual roots, the aptitude is high, and you can enter the inner door." The test disciple said solemnly, "Although it is not a heavenly spiritual root, I think your ice spiritual root is extremely thick, and it is a mutant spiritual root. If you work hard in the future, maybe you will get into the eyes of the elders."
Li Jinzhi retracted his hand, nodded yes, and returned to Li Zongyin obediently, but this time he couldn't be the curtain board, and almost everyone present turned their attention to him.
Complicated, resentful, jealous, unwilling, curious…
Li Jinzhi felt that he was going to be shot into a sieve, but he didn't have much time to pay attention to those eyes, he only frowned, how could it be Bingmu Linggen
The protagonist in the original book is clearly only Bing Linggen. Besides, I can only sense the ice attribute, but the situation just now—
Li Zongyin glanced at the second son with a complicated look, and yes, the second son who had been neglected for many years suddenly had a mutant double spiritual root, and anyone who changed it would be heartbroken...
"Oh, it's so hard for my virtuous brother to hide it for his brother." The head of the family looked at the branch line with dark eyes, "You have hidden such a big trump card for 16 years!"
Li Zongyin gave a wry smile, "Brother misunderstood me, Jinzhi didn't have spiritual roots when he was one year old, this is what everyone present saw."
The mother of the branch family, Liu Shi, said with a yin and yang peculiar air, "Oh, it's a good thing to be sincere, and he has concealed us all." Lai Cheng Jinzhi deliberately concealed the matter in one sentence, and then stretched out his hand and pulled Li Jintang, pretending to continue. , "In the future, you will have to take care of your direct brothers in Xianmen. It's your mother's request."
Li Zongyin's expression changed, and the complexities of the previous talents were completely dissipated, and he exhorted with a serious expression, "It's very, very, very, very, very close, after all, it is a brother who is directly related. It is good to have someone in the door to take care of it, ah of course." He glanced at the masters. "You have to take care of each other with your cousins, understand?"
"Humph." Li Jintang shook off Liu's hand and squinted at Li Jinzhi, his eyes full of unwillingness.
Li Jinzhi watched the couple sing and reconcile, full of calculations, and sneered in his heart, but he didn't show it at all. He just lowered his eyes and replied, "I should keep my father's teachings in mind."
"Oh, your husband and wife are too. They have concealed such a big thing, and they have treated this kid Jinzhi badly for so many years." Li Zongmu rolled his eyes, and he was more or less clear about what the branch was doing, and reached out from his arms. He took out a storage bag, "Respectfully, come and hold it. This is a little thought from my uncle. When you go to Xianmen, you must practice hard."
Li Jinzhi didn't refuse, he took the other party's storage bag and thanked him.
After this matter, the immortal master asked the younger generation with spiritual roots to go back to the house to pack up, while they themselves were taken by the elders to enjoy the spiritual feast.
Li Jinzhi walked at the end, secretly grabbed an immortal master, and said respectfully, "Xiaosheng has something to ask an immortal master."
The round eyes and round face of the person who was being held were very kind, and when he saw that he was held by the young generation with the pair of spiritual roots, he smiled even more kindly, "I will be a senior brother in the future, don't be so restrained, I My surname is Ren, and my brother can call me Ren."
Li Jinzhi was not polite, "Brother Ren, don't hide it, I have a personal servant, I don't know if I can take it to Xianmen together." He thought about it, Ye Yu's spiritual roots could not be measured, and he did not officially enter the air, he insisted He had spiritual roots and said that he had no evidence, so he could only ask like this.
"Of course not, how can there be a disciple who has just started with a servant from the world." Senior Brother Ren shook his head after hearing this, "However, when you enter the foundation-building stage, you will have a place for an attendant, and by then It's not too late to pick up again."
Li Jinzhi thanked him and left, with an idea in his heart.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Ye Yu sitting on the bed cultivating, making complicated gestures, but with his eyes open.
"You're back." His tone was calm, his face full of melancholy.
"Well." Li Jinzhi replied, "I'm here to pack my clothes, later..." Looking at the other party's dark and deep eyes, his heart was inexplicably tense. Although he had made a decision, he didn't know how to speak to the other party.
"I'll help you." After Ye Yu finished speaking, he jumped off the bed, opened the cabinet and took out the clothes, without asking if he could go with him.
"I will come to pick you up." Li Jinzhi looked at the other person's busy figure, and said to himself, "You will be bullied here, and when I settle down there, I will find an opportunity to come out and take you with me. Pick up and settle at the foot of Yibingmen Mountain."
The person who packed the things suddenly stopped, looked back at Li Jinzhi in a daze, and said quietly, "You, won't you leave me?"
"Of course not." Li Jinzhi frowned and said solemnly, "You saved me in the ice cave and gave me life, and I also made a promise to you. When I enter the foundation building period, I will take you by my side."
"No!" Ye Yu raised his eyebrows and refused, lowered his head and chuckled, the young man's voice was unique and elegant, "I will practice alone at the foot of the mountain, take the entry test, and meet you. A manly man, how can I rely on you for everything? ."
Li Jinzhi was stunned for a moment. He looked at each other seriously for the first time. He was not as thin and out of shape as a month ago. At the age of fifteen or sixteen, his face was extremely outstanding. "If you have ambition, then wait for you to find me."
The two packed up, and Li Jinzhi took the other to the main hall, but was rejected again.
"I have some disagreements with the main family, so I won't send you." Pushing Li Jinzhi out of the door, he quickly closed the door, with an astonishing speed.
"… "
Li Jinzhi had to go to the main hall alone, but saw that the immortal master's carriage was already parked in the hall. Except for the second son and the second son of the main family, everyone else had arrived. Li Jinzhi was used to being the set, so he didn't go to flatter the immortal master, and stood quietly. No one cares.
After waiting for half a column of incense, the two hurried over, and when they both got into the carriage, the Immortal Sect disciple recited the law, and a burst of spiritual power was ejected into the carriage. The snow-white foal roared in the sky, kicking its hooves and running wildly...
Li Jinzhi looked out through the gauze curtain and coffin, and saw a tall and tall young man standing in the snow in his small courtyard, looking up at the sky.
The figure of the young man gradually became smaller and gradually merged into the white snow.
He didn't know that this was the last time he saw those hopeful eyes—
