Me, plant, fire root? ? ?

If there is any cultivator with a spiritual root who should not make mistakes in candle lighting, it is undoubtedly a cultivator with a spiritual root of fire, especially a single fire spiritual root like Ye Zesheng.

The confident smile on his face disappeared, his lips were tightly pursed, his relaxed body gradually straightened, his arms waved tirelessly again and again, the left hand might not be pinched by Fa Jue, and his fingertips almost pierced into the palm of his hand with blood stains Later, the feeling of soreness and fatigue gradually accumulated in the arms and shoulders, but these did not change the result at all!

At most, it will change from a barely visible candle flame to a barely visible candle flame.

This is as ridiculous as the well-known Olympiad genius who can't figure out a one-plus-one math problem.

Most of the classmates behind him didn't know that he was a fire spirit root, but they just sighed, "I didn't expect that classmate Ye's spirit root and fire attribute are so incompatible, and there is only this little flame."

But Xia Yan and Xu Weilan knew about Ye Zesheng's spiritual root attribute, and he himself knew about it.

Ye Zesheng's brain went blank for a moment, and only the instinct of the body remained:

No, there must be something wrong, try again!

The spiritual power in the dantian was mobilized again and again, but if you look closely, you can find that most of the mobilized light green wood spiritual power surrounding the seeds, rather than the red fire spiritual power.

He didn't know that this method of cultivation also had its drawbacks.

The spiritual power of feeding back comes from the fruits and vegetables of spiritual energy that spread out.The reason why he can feed back is just like birds pecking at fruits to fill their stomachs and carrying seeds to other places through excretion. Ye Zesheng also grows and sells fruits and vegetables, and spreads seeds to different regions, so that life can be passed on and continued. Not stopping, so some spiritual power was fed back.

What plants can feed back is mostly wood spiritual power.

This is a wonderful cause and effect.

It would be great if Ye Zesheng was a wood spirit root monk, everything would be a closed loop.In other words, all those who can produce fruits and vegetables in this way are monks of wood spirit roots, at least related.

But he is not.

When he came back to his senses, an arm was already blocking him, it was Xia Yan.

Ye Zesheng took a deep breath so that he would not look too embarrassed, "Sorry, teacher, I may be in a bit of a bad state at the moment, can I try again later?"

"Other students only have one chance, and you have already been given several more chances, what else do you want?" Xu Weilan stepped forward, only a trace of disbelief and impatience remained in her curved peach eyes.

Ye Zesheng was silent. He clenched his fists and lowered his head slightly, "Sorry, I shouldn't have wasted everyone's time."

"Well, as long as you understand, Xia Yan is soft-hearted, and I won't be soft-hearted. Your score is 10 points, because your movements are proficient enough."

"Xu Weilan!" Xia Yan frowned, shouted a little warning, and said to Ye Zesheng, "Come to my office in the afternoon, we need to talk in detail."

"it is good."

Ye Zesheng didn't say much, and walked to the back of the line in silence.

Chen Zhuo didn't know what to say, so he could only pat Ye Zesheng on the shoulder, "Ye Zi, it's okay, it's just the first quiz, let's practice again, we can always do well, what are you afraid of!"

Ye Zesheng twitched the corners of his mouth, reluctantly responding.

After testing Candlelight in the morning, there are several other basic spells in the afternoon.

Ye Zesheng's performance was mediocre, he went up to test his mental state, got sixty or seventy points, came down, and stood there meditating.

The next day is still a small test, but the actual test is about to start.

"As soon as that teacher Xu comes, we will test the actual combat, and I don't know anything!"

"Is it too late to fight and practice now?"

"Come on, don't hurt yourself and you won't be able to play tomorrow."

The students who finished the spell test were talking and complaining, but they were all simple little annoyances, which would pass away as soon as the wind blows.They won't, and no one will?We are still on the same starting line, not far behind.

"Tsk, who walks without looking at the road?"

Limbs collided suddenly, and Ye Zesheng seemed to have just been shaken out of his own world. Chen Zhuo pulled him and apologized first, "I'm sorry, I was in a hurry just now, didn't I hit somewhere?"

The students who complained still had some lingering fire in their hearts because of the actual combat test added the next day, and they wanted to vent immediately when they were bumped into.The companion pulled him to persuade him, "That's Chen Zhuo! The other one is Ye Zesheng, oh, forget it..."

Forget it, Ye Zesheng didn't pass the Candlelight Technique today, and he only got 10 points. What do you care about with him?

The unfinished words contained some hints of this kind of meaning, and the anger in the student's heart subsided, "It's nothing, if you don't do well in the exam, remember to look at the road."

This topic was brought up again, Chen Zhuo was almost scared to death, and hurriedly pulled Ye Zesheng aside, "It's all right, Ye Zi, let's not listen to him..."

"Chen Zhuo." Ye Zesheng's eyes were dark, "I'll go find the teacher."

"You can find the teacher now..." Chen Zhuo scratched his hair and didn't finish his sentence.

That teacher Xu's attitude today is not good. I will look for it now, will it be useful?

Ye Zesheng didn't know if it would be useful, but he knew that if he was like the previous two weeks, it would definitely be useless.

He thought about it all day.

Annoyed, upset, patiently looking for problems.

A small quiz is actually nothing, even if you get a full score, it is just for teachers and classmates to read.

What really made Ye Zesheng afraid after birth was the state of the past few weeks.

He finally woke up, and was woken up by this head-on blow.The heart that had been floating for three weeks suddenly fell.

The praises, cheers, and stimulation of money around him were like a wall of mirrors, separating him from reality for a long time. In the past month, he was almost dreaming.

I am a single-fire spiritual root, with outstanding talent, and my teacher values ​​it.The enemy that threatened his life was successfully found by him, and he spent a lot of effort to successfully defeat him, and there were unexpected gains.Although you encounter difficulties in cultivation, you can find another way to solve them easily, and you can also earn a lot of money.

There was no threat to his life, and no other difficulties. Life seemed to suddenly become easier, like a sweet dream exuding a seductive atmosphere, which made him sink into it and didn't want to wake up again.

Even though he has always felt that his body is unusual, he wonders why the fruit of awakening will make him finally awaken the fire spirit root, and wonders why the fire spirit power and the body have some conflicts...

In the end always give up the search.

Anyway, these are not life-threatening, and there are other ways to solve them, so why bother with them?

So be it?Wouldn't it be nice to keep it like this?

Making money, fighting with teachers and classmates, watching the growth of cultivation base and occasionally pretending to be aggressive, this kind of campus life is great!

However, the hidden dangers that were ignored in the past will eventually explode.

When Ye Zesheng came to his senses, he was almost in a cold sweat!

What if it is not because of a spell exposure in the quiz, but in the battle with the enemy?

The deadly attack came, and he thought he could easily resist it, but when he used the spell, it suddenly failed.

Does his physique have anything to do with the wood spirit root? Will he be in danger? If such a situation occurs...

He would have died instantly.

Now, recalling what Xia Yan said three weeks ago, Ye Zesheng had to admit that what Xia Yan said was right, damn right.

"Then you... just give it a try?" Chen Zhuo saw Ye Zesheng's firm appearance, and didn't try to persuade him, "I'll wait for you outside?"

"No, I'll go alone."

"Alright..."

Ye Zesheng could feel Chen Zhuo's concern, he turned his head and gave him a strange hug, "Thank you, good brother."

"Hey, what kind words are you two talking about!" Chen Zhuo patted Ye Zesheng on the back, "I'll wait for your good news tonight! If there is no good news, let's go out and play, what are you afraid of, you have just grown up This little quiz can make a big difference! Even if you follow the past plan to take the college botany exam, you won’t be too bad. Aren’t botany professors quite popular in recent years? There are so many weird plants revived!”

"Ah."

Ye Zesheng walked outside Xia Yan's office and turned back and forth a few times. Once he got closer to ten meters, the soles of his feet felt as if the gravity had increased by ten times. go away.

He wasn't sure what Xia Yan thought of him at the moment, they had clearly quarreled in the past three weeks.

Xia Yan said that he had to study hard and practice hard.

He shouted that his grades were not bad, and finally used today's 10 points to prove his "not bad".

How dare he go to see Xia Yan after losing his face so cleanly?

Ye Zesheng showed a trace of bitterness and annoyance on his face, pacing up and down irritably.He felt that it was not enough to walk in the corridors with only two corners, so he simply included the upstairs and downstairs, and looked back from time to time.

Um?The door of Xia Yan's office seems to be open?

He was at the diagonally opposite corner upstairs, and he could vaguely see two figures inside through the crack of the door.

It should be Xia Yan and Xu Weilan.

Their mouths opened and closed, and they should be talking about something.

Ye Zesheng licked his lips, walked to the top of the office, and stopped.

Technique · Perception.

The winter jasmine flowers on the outside of the corridor wall have not yet withered, and now they have become Ye Zesheng's eyes and ears again.

The voice was a little far away at first, but gradually became clearer as he concentrated:

"...Xia Yan, I didn't know that the student you valued actually had this grade. Ten points, single fire spirit root, using candle lighting technique, ten points! Let the people in the capital know that they will die of laughter! Where did you find it? Such a single spiritual root 'genius'?"

"Okay, don't say a few words, isn't it enough to say during the daytime test?"

"Of course that's not enough. I'm here to select talents, not to hurt Zhong Yong's fall. Isn't this a waste of time? If I had known this was the case, I might as well not have come!"

"Tomorrow's actual combat has not yet been tested, and you can make a conclusion later."

"How much can the actual combat change? In my opinion, Song Xuan is the only one who stands out. The others are just pecking at each other, fighting like a house, and maybe even complaining, 'You hurt me!'" They are a group of hairy kids who don't know the dangers of the outside world. If you want me to say, you shouldn't be so protective. Sister Xue Dan worked so hard to drive out the spies this year not to let them sit here and play house. It's a waste of time!"

"The more you talk, the more outrageous..."

"Compared to your very single-fire spiritual root genius, I'm not outrageous. Just like him, I heard that he is busy selling spiritual fruits recently? Why don't you just go home and farm, and learn what to do? Ben! I think he won't be able to do it in actual combat tomorrow, so just persuade him to quit."

Dissuade.

Ye Zesheng thought he would feel uncomfortable, but found that he didn't feel much.What is persuasion?This Teacher Xu didn't even think about a more serious situation.

"Xu Weilan, he is also a single fire spiritual root..." Xia Yan rubbed her head with a headache.

Xu Weilan shook his head when he heard this, "Xia Yan, you and I have seen a lot in the world of practice, and all those who can rise up are talented people, but there are more geniuses who have fallen. There are so many people in my country, these 20 There are only a few five-level students every year? Our Danxin system doesn’t pay much attention to talents, isn’t it because there are too many, even if the talents are good, they don’t reach a high level of cultivation in the end?”

Don't think that a single spiritual root is so powerful, many have fallen in the past 20 years!

That is to say, in a small [-]th-tier city like Lingcheng, who sits on a well and watches the sky, thinks he is some kind of genius!

"He's in a special situation."

"Special? How special can it be? Isn't Senior Li Yu's situation special? Isn't Sister Xue Dan's situation special? Isn't Senior Tu Hai's situation special? Even you and me, everyone who Dan Xin has survived now, who is not special! It's not an excuse at all."

"What's more, if there is a special situation as an excuse that you don't have to die in the face of danger, that is of course good. But who cares if you are in a special situation? Facing the enemy, they will only want to take advantage of your special situation. People are treated equally, this particularity is just a hindrance, a burden, and a weakness!"

Before the words finished, Ye Zesheng had pushed open the door, tapped twice with his fingers, "Hello, teacher."

Xu Weilan was talking excitedly, when she saw someone coming, she stopped in embarrassment, coughed twice, and drank tea on her own.

"Ye Zesheng, can you give me an explanation for what happened this morning?" Xia Yan's expression remained the same, as if nothing had happened, and she just looked over gently.

The quarrel and bet three weeks ago didn't take him seriously, and he didn't even think it would come true in this way.

However, Xia Yan's question was also what Ye Zesheng wanted to know.

He turned his head to look at Xu Weilan, and pouted.

Both Xia Yan and Xu Weilan were taken aback, not understanding what it meant.

Ye Zesheng leaned forward and reminded in a low voice, "The land of the fallen spirit, the fruit of awakening." Then he pouted at Xu Weilan, "Extra people."

He did try his best to keep his voice down, but in such a small office, for a seventh-level monk, it was almost the same as what he said in his ear!

A seventh-level monk is already equivalent to a D-level supernatural being.

Xu Weilan's face was pulled down, feeling that what she said before was too tactful.

Would Xia Yan still listen to this hairy kid?laugh!

"Xu Weilan, avoid it for a while." Xia Yan only hesitated for two seconds before agreeing.Xu Weilan swears, in just two seconds, he can count clearly!

He looked at Xia Yan in disbelief, heartbroken, and finally snorted coldly, "What's so good about what you're talking about!"

Taking steps that his relatives did not recognize, he closed the door with a bang.

"What do you know?" Looking at Ye Zesheng again, Xia Yan asked.

Ye Zesheng shook his head innocently, "I don't know anything."

Xia Yan: ...

Ye Zesheng's words were half true and half false.

What he knew was the part of guessing about his own body, what he didn't know was the part about the land of death and the wood spirit root.

His trust in Xia Yan has not yet reached the level where he is willing to reveal his personal secrets.Ye Zesheng even thought that he would probably never tell others in his life.

There is no way to say this kind of thing, saying that I can see a seed in my dantian after my aura is revived, and this seed represents my cultivation base. technique?

... This sounds less and less human.

Those who have inheritance, even if he has only read a few novels, he knows that most of them are inherited by non-human beings.

Before finding the fruit of awakening, he was only vaguely suspicious.

The unexpected awakening of the spirit root confirmed his guess: the plants he groped out, the "spiritual power utilization skills" cultivated by sharing fruits, the techniques inherited in the body, the unimpeded movement in the forest, the natural favorability of wild animals...all of them Nothing to do with spirit roots.

He is the root of fire.

As for the things mentioned above, if you look closely at the time, they all appeared before the awakening of the spiritual roots.

This is more like a physical problem, although he still doesn't know what kind of physique he is and what bloodline he is.

Anyway, the most important thing is that it is impossible to say, so just pretend that you don't know, and just describe the current situation to see if Xia Yan can do anything about it.Instead, he had asked Xia Yan the question about Mu Lingen, and he felt that this was another chance to ask.

His spiritual root came from the fruit of awakening, and the fruit of awakening appeared in the land of the fallen spirit, and the two even snatched it.If it had nothing to do with it, he didn't think Xia Yan would let his colleague go out like this.

Xia Yan's decision was in itself a response to his first temptation.

Xia Yan took a deep look at Ye Zesheng, "I don't know anything about the situation, so I have nothing to say."

Ye Zesheng nodded, and started with his own question, "I'm clearly a fire spirit root, but recently it's been difficult for me to meditate and absorb fire spirit power. Instead, I have gained a lot of wood spirit power, so I can't use spells in the morning quiz What does the teacher think?"

This sentence full of sensitive words made Xia Yan choke again, and he began to suspect that Ye Zesheng did it on purpose.

"If the fire spirit power is not enough, it is indeed possible that the candle lighting technique cannot be used."

As for why it is difficult for the fire spirit root to absorb fire spirit power during cultivation... Xia Yan has a guess, but he is still not sure.He sent an email to Xue Dan at noon, applying to unseal a confidential file.

Seeing Xia Yan's reaction, Ye Zesheng became even more suspicious of what he knew, and it had something to do with Mu Lingen.

All the topics that made Xia Yan voluntarily avoid and keep silent were almost all related to the matter that he "had no right to know".

"Teacher, I was wrong three weeks ago. You are right. I should practice hard. Then how do you solve this problem now?"

Ye Zesheng pretended to be worried, and even brought up the topic three weeks ago again, even apologizing to make progress!

"...replenish fire power."

well.

Ye Zesheng heard a satisfactory answer, and the topic was turned back to the root of the fire spirit.

"Teacher, I can't absorb the spiritual power of fire in my practice now. How can I replenish it? Is there something wrong with my spiritual root? I first awakened my spiritual root after eating a wild fruit in the forest. Bad stomach?"

Ye Zesheng knew that the man in black who robbed him of the awakening fruit was Xia Yan, but Xia Yan didn't know that he already knew.

"What kind of wild fruit is it?" Xia Yan had to ask this question.

Ye Zesheng found a piece of paper and a pen from his desk, and drew something he had often drawn in art classes since kindergarten, and it was almost a rare thing he could draw—an apple.

If you point to the apple and say, "It looks like this!"

Xia Yan tried very hard to see from the apple the appearance of the spirit fruit she had photographed at the time, except for a huge "red" character in the black line, she couldn't see any similarity.

"...Well, I have the impression that this is an awakening fruit."

He closed his eyes, and found that since he met Ye Zesheng, the frequency of stomach pains has skyrocketed, and now he has learned to speak nonsense against his conscience.

Ye Zesheng quietly raised the corners of his lips and quickly put it down, "Teacher, is this the fruit of awakening? I heard that it is several million! Then why is it so ineffective?"

"I'll check the internal database for you in a while." He really can't make up this excuse right now, so go back and find Feng Yu to make it up.

Before Ye Zesheng could continue speaking, Xia Yan quickly interrupted, "Okay, I understand your situation, go back and rest if you have nothing to do, and prepare for tomorrow's actual combat test."

It is rare for Ye Zesheng to taste such a big sweetness, and it feels better than the last time he threw out the self-criticism.Look, Xia Yan is going to politely see off the guests!

It's a pity that the result has not yet been asked.

But it doesn't matter, I can ask Xia Yan again after the game tomorrow.

"Thank you teacher." Ye Zesheng got up and said goodbye, "Teacher has worked hard, so let's go to bed earlier tonight."

"Ah."

After Ye Zesheng left, Xu Weilan came in, feeling extremely wronged.

"Xia Yan, are we still brothers who lived and died together, and you let me leave today because of that child!"

Ah!

Xia Yan's gentle eyebrows and eyes looked extremely cold at the moment, "I still need you to stay with me tonight to work overtime and stay up late, are you happy?"

Xu Weilan choked up, and said sincerely, "Don't say that, you know that I very much welcome you to kick me out at this time."

After returning home from school, Ye Zesheng's mood was completely calm.

In fact, he is not afraid of problems. When problems arise, he can always find a way to solve them.What is more frightening than a problem is that you have not discovered the problem at all.

This month has been too comfortable, so comfortable that he began to avoid pain.

Is there really no way but to cultivate through spiritual fruit?

No, it's not.In front of Xia Yan that day, he was able to persist in running a big cycle. Although it was a bit painful, he still succeeded.

After he discovered a shortcut, he refused to take the rough and painful road, and even avoided it subconsciously.

This is not right.

Ye Zesheng turned on the phone, entered the password, logged into his bank account, and sighed as he saw the hundreds of thousands he had finally saved up.

He clicked on the previous transfer record to Chen Zhuo, and transferred the money again.Last time, Chen Zhuo was given a 1/10 bonus. This time, he only kept tens of thousands as a fraction for himself, and transferred the remaining hundreds of thousands.

Most of the balance in the account was emptied, and Ye Zesheng's heart ached instantly.

But he had to teach himself a lesson, how could he slack off his cultivation because of these!

Sitting cross-legged again, Ye Zesheng took advantage of this heartache, circulated fire spiritual power from the cracks in the wood spiritual power, and burned it along the meridians.

It hurts, of course it still hurts.

But now, he won't call anymore.

He held a chopstick in his mouth so that his mouth would not be covered with blood.

In the morning, Grandma Yao was cooking porridge, and looked at the empty chopstick basket suspiciously: "It's weird, why is the mouse still gnawing on the chopsticks, and they're all gone?"

There were five or six pairs in it last night!

"Ye Zesheng, get up quickly! Go to the canteen downstairs and sell a pair of chopsticks!"

"Understood!" A hoarse voice came from the bedroom.

Ye Zesheng let go, put the last chopstick that was bitten off on the table, and wiped the remaining blood on the table.

His body was a little weak because of sweating and pain all night.But after the pain dissipated, there was another kind of refreshment.

This is the joy of conquest.

Last night, he conquered his slackness and laziness, and finally crushed that bit of weakness together with his fragile meridians, reshaping a tough body.

Slowly clenched his fist, then spread out his five fingers.

A stronger sense of power than yesterday filled the body.

He was ready for actual combat.
