Mortal Mage

"My fellow Taoist, I just remembered you said that those without spiritual roots are not allowed to board the boat."

Yun walked up to Zhang Mingxuan, then took out ten spirit stones from her bosom and scattered them on the purple-clothed man's silver spirit-testing array. "We'll pay the spirit stones."

The man in purple glanced down at the spirit stone on the array plate, then glanced at the woman in purple who was walking beside him.

"Fellow Daoist, I'm afraid it won't work. The main reason is that after boarding the flying boat, those with spiritual roots will be accepted by the sects that the flying boat passes by. No sect is willing to accept this kind of useless spiritual root. The flying boat costs a lot. If this mortal starves to death on the flying boat, we will not be able to explain to the major sects."

The purple-clothed man and woman did not put away the spirit stones.

"What if there is a jade slip for passing through?"

Zhang Mingxuan fished out the jade slip that Li Jing had left for him from his bosom and showed it to the two monks. "Is this okay?"

He had already taken the jade slip and some spirit stones out of the ring and placed them in his chest pocket.

The purple-clothed woman looked at the jade slip in Zhang Mingxuan's hand with surprise. "This jade slip only allows you to enter Xianyuan Gate once. Xianyuan Gate will definitely not accept your useless spiritual roots, so when you come back, you have to take a flying boat. Ten jade slips will not do."

"Forget it, let's stop arguing. How many are there?"

Xiyun stood beside Zhang Mingxuan and asked calmly.

"Don't get on the big boat. The Jade Man Ice Spiritual Root doesn't need to be paid. This waste spiritual root costs thirty pieces."

"What if we get on a big boat?"

"Dazhou is Zhoucheng. It costs one hundred spirit stones to enter Zhoucheng. You only need to pay once, and you won't need to pay again in the future."

"What's the difference between Zhoucheng and Zhoucheng?"

"Zhoucheng is Zhoucheng. There is a fairy market in the city. The small boats are only used to carry passengers."

"Enter Zhoucheng."

Xiyun and Zhang Mingxuan responded in unison.

-

The huge boat rose slowly. Zhang Mingxuan and Yun stood on the deck of the boat, looking at the overlapping mountains and the turbulent sea of ​​clouds.

"How did you, a mortal, kill Li Si? Did you also set up a formation on the toilet?"

Yanyun looked at the end of the sky.

"Since the Canglang Continent is full of useless spiritual roots, what's the matter with the breathing method?"

Zhang Mingxuan stood behind Yuyun. He was afraid of heights.

"You speak first."

The two spoke in unison again.

"I didn't kill Li Si. It was Crown Prince Li Jing who killed him after the Imperial Master Ye Buwen and Bu Dazhen were deposed."

Zhang Mingxuan squatted on the deck. The flying boat's deck was shaking from side to side. His center of gravity was unstable and he was afraid of falling off.

"Li Jing? Is she the woman in the foundation-building stage? How could she be the crown prince?"

"you have not answer my question yet."

Zhang Mingxuan raised his eyes and said to Xiyun who was standing on the edge of the deck.

The breeze in the air blew up the lapels of her silk shirt, and the ribbons on the lapels fluttered in the wind. The wind wrapped around her slender waist, and pushed up her breasts, making her look charming and enchanting.

She snorted. "What do you think of the name of the Breathing Method?"

Zhang Mingxuan shook his head and said nothing.

Yun looked back at Zhang Mingxuan who was squatting behind her and said calmly, "I really don't know how you, with your blockheaded brain, could become the Emperor of Taicang."

"The breathing method is a method. A method is a method, not something that can help you grow spiritual roots." She turned around again, facing the mountains and sea of ​​clouds, and continued, "There is no instrument to measure spiritual roots in Canglang Continent. The method to measure spiritual roots during the Dihuang Dynasty was to let the people feel the spiritual power in the spiritual stones. If a mortal can feel the spiritual power in the low-grade spiritual stones, it is considered a good spiritual root. If they can only feel the spiritual power in the high-grade spiritual stones, it is considered a useless spiritual root."

She continued to explain in a gentle tone; "The purer the spiritual root, the clearer the spiritual power you can feel. Mixed spiritual roots require high-quality spiritual stones with strong spiritual power to barely feel it."

"That breathing method is a technique for cultivators, not a technique for growing spiritual roots. Most people in Canglang Continent can only roughly estimate whether they have cold spiritual roots or dry spiritual roots when they practice, and they don't know which of the twelve spiritual roots they have."

After finishing her words, Yun turned around again, looked at Zhang Mingxuan tenderly, and asked in a serious tone, "I am not interested in the prince now. I want to know why you could get that old man to repair the teleportation array with just a few words."
