From dual spiritual roots to a sword master with all attributes

In a courtyard, there was a handsome young man wearing a sky-blue robe and a jade pendant around his waist.

The young man was flipping through the book in his hand, which was titled A Brief Note on a Trip to Yuanzhou Landscapes.

The story tells of a traveler who loves traveling, and the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers he visited in Yuanzhou, as well as the strange things he encountered.

"Master, there is an immortal in the city."

A young boy dressed as a servant ran into the yard.

"Immortal? Who told you that?"

"Three immortals flew in from outside the city on immortal swords and landed in the city lord's mansion. Many people saw them."

"Well, go ahead and inform me if there is any new news."

"Okay, Master."

The young man pondered and said silently, "After searching for so long, it turned out to be this way."

The boy’s name is Fang Xiao, yes, a time traveler from Blue Planet.

Before traveling through time, Fang Xiao went to an all-night class with a few college roommates. In the second half of the night, he was too sleepy, so he decided to take a nap on the computer desk. When he woke up, he was already here.

Compared to most cases of soul traveling across time and space, Fang Xiao experienced another birth, and nothing strange happened.

His father Fang Yuan also named him Fang Xiao in a fitting way. My goodness, Dad, are you sure your last name is Fang? Fang's mother died when he was three years old due to a relapse of her old illness.

Fang Xiao's father was just a merchant with a small fortune in Jinyu City. Ever since Fang Xiao showed his precocity, his father arranged for a teacher to come to his home to teach him. He lived up to the expectations and became a young genius in the eyes of outsiders who could recognize a thousand words at the age of one, write poetry at the age of three, and read and understand ancient books at the age of five.

When he grew up a little, he gave Fang's father some modern business tips. Although he is not as rich as a country now, he is still considered a wealthy man in Jinyu City.

Afterwards, Fang Xiao learned that there were immortal cultivators in this world, so he began to inquire around and even collected books on the subject, hoping to find a way to become an immortal.

I didn't expect that after searching for so many places, I would find it without any effort.

However, there was no opportunity for curious people to explore. All the important figures in the city were invited to the City Lord's Mansion to tell the story. Later, Fang's father came back from the City Lord's Mansion.

"Dad, has an immortal come to the City Lord's Mansion?"

"Yes, those people who claim to be immortal cultivators said they want to recruit disciples in the city."

"Can everyone go?"

"Boy, I knew you wanted to go. I wanted you to continue the Fang family's lineage. Now you have to trouble me again."

"hey-hey."

"But those immortal masters said that they will test your qualifications in the square in the city center in three days. Not everyone can become an immortal. The age requirement is no more than twelve years old. You still have a chance, but if you can't make it, you'd better come back and wait for your baby. I want to have a grandson soon."

"I see." Fang Xiao touched his chin and thought. It turned out that spiritual roots were needed. He wondered what his qualifications were.

……

Time flies, and three days have passed in the blink of an eye.

The city center square was packed with people. All children under the age of twelve were brought there, from the city lord's sons Zheng Daoxing and Fang Xiao to orphans and beggars.

In the eyes of ordinary common people, if they have the chance to become an immortal, they will be chosen and it will bring honor to their family.

For orphans and beggars who can't even afford to eat, this can be considered as changing their fate.

In order to maintain order, apart from the basic guarding of the city gates, the rest of the city guards are here.

Soon the young men lined up in a long queue, waiting for the arrival of the immortal master.

Not long after, three immortal masters floated into the arena. There were two men and one woman, all of them were in their early twenties, wearing similar clothes, and each had two or three brown-gray bags on their waists.

After the female immortal master landed, she began to close her eyes and rest. The other male immortal master also looked up at the sky, both of them looked as if it had nothing to do with them.

The city lord trotted up to several immortal masters, bowed and nodded. The immortal master in the middle seemed to be the person in charge. He gave a few instructions and then began.

The young men were brought to the immortal master one by one by the city guards. The immortal master first touched their bones to calculate their bone age, and then took out a jade ring and placed it in front of their eyebrows.

However, more than ten people went by and there was no reaction.

At this moment, the jade ring emitted red and green light.

"He is actually a natural alchemist with dual spiritual roots of wood and fire."

The female immortal master also opened her eyes and said in surprise.

"Yes, stand behind me."

The boy and his parents were extremely surprised. The boy looked back at his parents and at his parents' signal, he quickly walked up to the three of them and stood behind them.

The test was carried out in an orderly manner for more than an hour, and two more people with spiritual roots emerged, one with four spiritual roots and the other with five spiritual roots.

After understanding it, everyone knows that it all depends on luck. After all, not everyone can have the chance to be an immortal.

Zheng Daoxing and the city lord looked at each other, nodded, strode to the front, and began to prepare for the qualification test.

Fang Xiao followed closely behind. Although they were of the same age, he always felt that he could not fit in with this group of little kids and they had basically no interaction.

Then it was Zheng Daoxing's turn. The jade ring came closer and emitted three-colored light, the three spiritual roots of water, earth and wood.

"Yes, come here."

City Lord Zheng was overjoyed, and Zheng Daoxing also stood behind the three immortal masters with a happy look on his face.

Fang Xiao took a deep breath, walked up to the Immortal Master, and touched his bones first.

"Hey, it seems that he has some special physique. Let's take a look at his spiritual roots."

Yellow and white, the white color is dazzling, several times brighter than the yellow.

"Okay, not only do you have dual spiritual roots, but you also have earth and gold spiritual roots, and the strength of your gold spiritual roots is only slightly weaker than your heavenly spiritual roots. You also have some special physique, and this mission has been completed in excess. Come on over."

The three immortal masters also smiled and nodded to Fang Xiao with goodwill.

Standing behind the immortal master, he looked at his father who was winking at him, rolled his eyes, and lowered his head to count ants.

After more than two hours, several boys and girls with spiritual roots were detected, but they were all average and the immortal master was not interested.

All the teenagers have been tested, and those who have spiritual roots are no more than fifteen, those who have double spiritual roots and those who have triple spiritual roots are two each, those who have four spiritual roots are four, and those who have five spiritual roots are seven. The proportion is terribly small.

It seems that I have good aptitude and I have begun to fantasize about my future life as an immortal, moving mountains and seas, entering and exiting the sky, and roaming freely between heaven and earth.

"Okay, go say goodbye to your family."

Fang Xiao said yes and trotted to his father.

"Hahaha, you are worthy of being my offspring. If you have a destiny as an immortal, just go ahead and don't worry about your family."

Fang Yuan slapped him on the shoulder with his big hand, and he was almost knocked over.

"Okay, Dad, you have to take care of yourself too. Once I have mastered my training, I will come home soon."

"Well, it's a pity that I will have to work day and night in the future."

Fang Xiao rolled his eyes. What he said before was the same. Dad, where would you put the face of an immortal like you?

After giving some more instructions, he was already the last one to return to the Immortal Master.

"Everything is ready? Then let's go."

The immortal master in charge slapped his storage bag, and a flying boat quickly grew larger and appeared in front of everyone.

"Everyone, please get on the spirit boat. After you enter the sect, you can call each other brothers. My last name is Huo, so you can just call me Brother Huo. These two are Brother Wang and Sister Tian."

"Yes, Senior Brother Huo, I'm honored to meet Senior Brother Wang and Senior Sister Tian."

Everyone agreed and quickly boarded the flying boat. Senior Brother Huo made a hand gesture to activate the flying boat, which quickly rose up and flew towards the horizon.

After all, the young men were only in their early teens, and they were both cautious and excited on the flying boat.

On the second day, everyone gathered in groups of three or four, and they were about to form a group, with the two boys with three spiritual roots as the core. Fang Xiao and another boy with two spiritual roots named Xiao Yan were not among them.

After all, natural spiritual roots are not revealed, and the most common ones are alien spiritual roots and double spiritual roots.

Moreover, one is a natural alchemist, and the other has spiritual roots very close to heavenly spiritual roots and a special physique, so they are naturally different from ordinary people.

"Because you haven't practiced yet and can't use the jade slips, this book contains a brief introduction to the world of cultivation, as well as basic common sense related to cultivation. You can take it and pass it around." Senior Sister Tian said.

Seeing that no one came forward, Fang Xiao took the initiative to take the book and thanked him.

Senior Sister Tian looked appreciative and nodded.

With his excellent reading and memory skills, he quickly wrote down the contents of the book, handed it to Xiao Yan, and lowered his head to think.

It turns out that this world is the immortal cultivation world of Taichang Realm, which is composed of the immortal cultivation worlds of Central Earth, Eastern Region, Western Desert, Northern Plains, Southern Wilderness, and overseas.

The Eastern Region belongs to the sphere of influence of the righteous path, and is home to the four sacred sanctuaries of the gods and many Nascent Soul sects.

The sect that Fang Xiao joined was none other than the Tianlan Sect, one of the four holy places. However, disciples who had just entered the sect and had never practiced cultivation, as well as disciples in the Qi training stage, had to practice in the eight outer courtyards under the Tianlan Sect.

There is no difference between the outer courtyards. This outer courtyard is called Mingxuan, and everyone will become Mingxuan outer courtyard disciples, that is, outer disciples.

If an outer disciple succeeds in building a foundation by chance, he can apply to be promoted to an inner disciple and learn the sect's inheritance.

The levels of cultivation are Qi training, foundation building, Dan formation, Yuanying, and Shen transformation. Each level is divided into early, middle and late stages, and the Qi training stage is further divided into nine levels.

The properties of cultivation techniques are mostly in line with the five elements of spiritual roots, but there are also techniques for cultivating special spiritual roots such as ice, wind, and thunder.

Everyone was shocked and felt like a frog in a well. It turned out that ordinary people had no idea about the outside world.

Over the next few days, everyone started to get to know each other better. They were no longer nervous when talking to each other, and they also started to ask some basic questions.

"Senior Brother Huo, since you have a magical flying boat, why did you choose to use a sword, which consumes more spiritual energy, when you came to Jinyu City that day?" Fang Xiao raised his question.

Senior Brother Huo smiled slightly.

"The reason I'm flying the sword is because I want to save time, which will probably be today. Wait a little longer."

An hour later, someone with sharp eyes spotted a black spot on the horizon. Within a few dozen breaths, everyone saw what it was.

A huge flying boat, as big as half the size of Jinyu City, was hovering in front of everyone, shocking them beyond words.

Senior Brother Cui took out a token, activated it, and controlled his small flying boat to fly upwards.

It passed through a layer of light film without any hindrance and landed on the deck.

Most of the people on the deck were young men who looked like them, probably disciples recruited from other places. Senior Brother Cui led them forward and reported to a monk who looked younger than him.

"Uncle Lin, our disciples have completed their mission and returned. There are fifteen new disciples. Their backgrounds, qualifications, and initial considerations of their personalities have all been compiled into a book." Senior Brother Cui handed over a jade slip.

Uncle Lin took the jade slip from the air, glanced at it, and looked at everyone with interest.

"Well, it's well done. You are the ones who are in charge of the furthest. You are the only ones left. Go back to the clan."

The surrounding scenery began to move backwards, and became blurred in the eyes of these young men in just two breaths. The speed was too fast to see left and right and both sides clearly, but it was extremely stable and there was no sense of high-speed flying at all.

Everyone had their own thoughts, some were aspirational, some were excited, and of course there were also those in a bad mood, hesitant and worried, all of which were recorded.

Fang Xiao also has his own expectations. His future is already smoother than that of most people. With such an opportunity in front of him, he will naturally do his best to reach the top and see the scenery at the top.
