"Mommy, can we go and see this spiritual vein?"
Yang Zhen suddenly asked. Instead of thinking about it here, it is better to find an opportunity to see it on the ground.
"This..." Mammy muttered: "According to the sect's regulations, the Zhu family has one month to remove their belongings. During this period, the Zhu family should be more careful about the spiritual veins. You don't need to go, I can go take a look. After the sect receives it, it will put up a formation, which is equivalent to a seal in the mortal world. It represents the majesty of the sect, so it will be even more inconvenient. When this spiritual vein is auctioned, then The meeting allows everyone to visit..."
"When will that take place?"
"It will take about a year anyway." Mammy said with a smile: "It needs to be reported to the sect, reviewed, approved, etc. One year is a relatively conservative estimate."
"That's it..." Yang Zhen slapped her head in disappointment and fell into thinking.
Grandma looked at Yang Zhen's face and her expression became serious.
"Little Shitou, tell me what you think about the Zhu family?"
"I……"
Yang Zhen did not answer. He thought of a question: "Mommy, the Zhu family said that my mother is a monk and I will probably have spiritual roots. Is this true?"
"That's true. If the mother is a monk, the probability of her offspring being a monk is as high as 20 to 30%. For this reason..."
It turns out that since this world was banned by the immortals, the probability of mortals manifesting spiritual roots has dropped to one thousandth. But as time goes by, cultivators in this world are constantly exploring and studying this restriction, and gradually find some ways to deal with it. The most important of these is the emergence of "Ling Ling Jue".
When female cultivators are pregnant in ten months, by practicing this method, they can stimulate the development of the fetus's spiritual roots. For children born in this way, when they are attracted by the heaven and earth formation at the age of twelve, the probability of manifesting spiritual roots can be increased by a hundred times, and can even reach a maximum of three hundred times, which is a 30% probability.
"This method is very easy to practice. Even for female cultivators who have just entered Qi training, it is not difficult. Therefore, there are no female cultivators in Xu State, or in the entire world, who cannot do it."
"However, it also has a limitation, that is, it is most effective when practiced for the first time. In other words, the first child is most likely to have spiritual roots. Although the children born later are still much better than ordinary people, the effect is still It’s been a lot worse.”
"With such a high proportion, aren't most of the immortal cultivators in this world descended from female cultivators?" Yang Zhen asked.
"That's not the case. Do you know that most monks actually have no descendants?"
"Why?"
"You are still a child, so there is no need to ask more about the specific reason." Mammy said with a smile: "You only need to know that the physique of monks is different from that of mortals. If you want to have descendants, you need to interrupt your cultivation and return to your original nature to become a mortal. Only then can you have descendants. . And the more advanced the cultivation, the longer it takes. For most monks who aspire to the great road, this time cannot be wasted..."
Speaking of this, she smiled self-deprecatingly: "Mommy was like this back then. Now, when I see Xiao Yue'er and you, Xiao Shitou, I really regret it!"
After saying that, she smoothed her hair, and her profile looked like a layer of rouge in the sunset, as if the sunset had turned into a fairy.
Yang Zhen looked at her blankly: This grandma has fascinated so many people when she was young! The past faded into smoke, and she didn’t know who she was thinking of at this time.
Auntie noticed Yang Zhen's gaze, gathered her thoughts, and continued the topic:
"How are you going to treat the Zhu family?"
"If I can manifest my spiritual roots and embark on the path of cultivating immortals, when I reach the level of cultivation, I will go to the Zhu family to find out why my mother was forced to run away. If... I am a mortal in this life, then Let’s stop this matter!”
Yang Zhen has already thought about this matter clearly.
"Good!" Mammy praised: "It's rare for you, a child, to have such understanding. Mammy also makes you a promise. Although I will not help you deal with the Zhu family, I will never let Zhu Home hurts you!”
"As long as you stay in the Zhao family for one day, I will protect you for one day!"
…
When Yang Zhen returned to her hut again, it was already dead of night.
The Jun Guan duo "used the bus for private use" and very enthusiastically sent him and his grandma back to Zhao's house before returning to Jun Guan. After arriving at the mansion, Mammy handed him over to Caisi while she went to see his wife.
After dinner, he studied the account books seriously in the side hall. When he looked up from the papers, the small courtyard was already brightly lit.
He was reading a book under the candlelight, and what he was reading this time was the county annals of Xuanyang County. The Zhao Mansion has a large collection of such books, and some of them are very detailed.
After searching for a long time, he found the Yang family's small spiritual vein in this county chronicle, and there were related introductions in it.
According to records, this spiritual vein was awarded to a foundation-building monk named Yang by the sect thousands of years ago. At that time, the previous dynasty was overthrown and the Xu Kingdom was established. The ancestor of the Yang family had made some contributions to the change of dynasties, so he obtained this fiefdom. Of course, he got more than just this spiritual vein. As a foundation-building family at that time, the strength of the Yang family could be said to be almost the same as that of the Zhu family now, and the area it occupied was still very large.
It's a pity that the Yang family has always been underpopulated, and eventually they even lost the foundation to support their appearance. According to the regulations of Yunxiao Sect, such a family will be downgraded and its territory must be reduced. In the end, only such a small spiritual vein is left to barely maintain it.
This spiritual vein is very close to Zhu's hometown, which is a town with a population of more than 20,000. It’s easy to understand why the Yang family left its last foundation here. If they were far away from the town and monsters appeared, it would be impossible for the Yang family to survive with their little strength.
Yang Zhen studied the county records for a long time, and finally made a discovery: there was a spirit stone vein less than ten miles away from the spirit vein. Look at the mining rights of this mineral vein, it is in the hands of the Zhu family!
Is it related to this spirit stone mine? He fell into deep thought and prepared to tell his grandmother what he had discovered.
…
It was late at night, and Yang Zhen was getting ready to go to bed. The difference from yesterday was that this time he tied one of his feet to the bed with a thin string.
When he woke up this morning, he made two important discoveries.
First, the copper coins in his arms came out of the space, which proved that things in the space could be taken out. This conclusion made Yang Zhen very excited. It meant that he had a space to store items, and many temporarily unused or private things could be placed in it.
The second discovery confused him greatly. When I woke up, the thin quilt from last night was still covering me, and even the book on top of the quilt was placed there.
What does this mean? Could it be that what I entered that space was just my soul body, but why did I feel pain? Those spiritual drops and copper coins have actually gone in, can’t humans do the same?
Also, if it was just the soul that went in, what about the feeling of soul fusion last night?
These problems deeply troubled Yang Zhen, so tonight he decided to tie one foot.
This line is easy to break. What will it look like tomorrow?
Good or broken?
