Ten years ago, Lin Xingliao was seven years old.
——
Father Lin led Lin Xingliao through the bustling market to the medical center. He asked the doctor anxiously: "Doctor, please help me quickly. It has been several years. What is wrong with my son? He does not cry or laugh, and his face is expressionless. Could it be that I forced him to practice martial arts?" "
The doctor is an old man with gray hair. He is rich in experience and has seen a lot of the world. He pondered for a moment and looked at Lin Xingliao, his eyes full of solemnity. Lin Xingliao's face was expressionless and his eyes were empty.
The doctor gently stroked Lin Xingliao's forehead and frowned in thought. He turned to Father Lin and said, "Your young master's symptoms are a bit strange. I need further examination."
Lin Xingliao's illness is unknown and cannot be cured.
The doctor told Father Lin: "Your young master's illness is very strange. I have never seen it before. It is even more difficult to cure him."
After hearing this, Father Lin's expectation disappeared, leaving only despair. He fell down on the chair and muttered to himself: "Is there really no other way?"
The doctor sighed softly: "I will do my best."
The screen shifted to Lin Xingliao's room. Lin Xingliao was lying on the bed, his eyes empty. His face is childish, but it already has a maturity and indifference that is beyond his age.
The doctor pushed open the door and walked to the bed and sat down. He stroked Lin Xingliao's forehead and whispered: "What exactly have you experienced? Why did it become like this?"
Lin Xingliao didn't respond, just stared at the ceiling with blank eyes. The doctor sighed deeply. He knew that this young man was destined to be unable to get rid of the pain.
However, the doctor discovered that this boy did not have an intellectual problem. On the contrary, Lin Xingliao's intelligence was still very high. He had a congenital disease.
This disease is extremely rare. If the doctor hadn't been very old and knowledgeable, he might not have been able to recognize the disease.
People who are sick will have no emotions.
This disease is innate and there is no cure!
However, this doctor had a way to make Lin Xingliao look normal.
That is learning and imitation.
Lin Xingliao began to learn normal facial expressions.
The doctor told him: "You need to learn normal emotions and learn their joys and sorrows. In this way, you can integrate into this world."
Lin Xingliao nodded, understanding what the doctor meant.
From then on, Lin Xingliao practiced in front of the mirror every day. He practices smiling, practicing anger, practicing sadness. Every expression he practiced felt incredibly real, as if he actually felt those emotions.
During the practice, Lin Xingliao also gradually understood human emotions. He knew why they laughed and why they cried. He knows their joy, He knows their pain.
However, this still does not change the fact that Lin Xingliao has no emotions.
——
Back in time, Lin Xingliao has shed the secular world and become a disciple of the Baiyun Sect's Spiritual Medicine Shop.
Lin Xingliao works at sunrise to take care of his acre of medicinal fields. These herbs are ripened with Ling Qi. The technique was taught to him by the steward of the No. 21 medicinal field.
This method can be used to ripen first-level medicinal herbs.
At the same time, Lin Xingliao also learned about the classification of material treasures in the cultivation world.
There are only five levels, and level one is the lowest.
Therefore, the corresponding ripening method is naturally only a first-level technique.
But what's surprising is that Lin Xingliao can't activate the water-attribute magical power at all!
Lin Xingliao tried it, and he activated the spell exactly according to the method taught by the manager of Lingtian.
But it's no use, no matter what.
Several female disciples who learned this technique with Lin Xingliao also mocked him:
"Didn't I hear that you have three water spiritual roots? Let me see, maybe you only have the bottom one."
"Hey, don't say that. It's just the first day. Maybe he can learn it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Of course, he might not be able to learn it in a month."
"Wasn't he sent here by the Immortal Ascension Order? I think it's just like that. He might as well have come here step by step."
…
Everyone in the elixir shop knew that Lin Xingliao was sent here by the Immortal Ascension Order. It stands to reason that those sent here by the Immortal Ascension Order are all talented people, but Lin Xingliao can't even master the first-level low-level spells.
For a moment, the person in charge also noticed that something was wrong. Could it be that this kid's spiritual roots were really bad?
This was related to the rules of the Baiyun Sect, and she couldn't be careless. If this kid couldn't hand in ten herbs after one month, he would be removed from the membership.
Therefore, the steward was kind-hearted and asked a disciple who had already learned it to explain his method to Lin Xingliao.
The disciple followed Lin Xingliao, pretending to be helping. The two were not far apart. When the disciple saw that Lin Xingliao could not activate the technique, she stepped forward to teach him. She patiently explained the extremely simple technique to Lin Xingliao step by step. .
Lin Xingliao thought about it and didn't think this female disciple had any ill intentions towards him, so he did as she said. However, this simple technique still cannot be activated.
The female disciple laughed angrily: "You didn't do it on purpose, right?"
"how you said that?"
"Hey, I've been standing next to you for a long time. We are both in the early stage of the Nascent Realm, but the aura on your body is much richer than mine! Your spiritual energy must be enough! What's more, I am a five-element miscellaneous spirit. I have learned all the roots, how could you, a genius with three spiritual roots, not be able to learn it! I only have one water spiritual root, but you have three!"
At this time, a man with too much yin energy came over: "Hey, to put it bluntly, he just doesn't like this level of magic and doesn't want to learn it. Who told him to have three water spiritual roots?"
The group of disciples mocked Lin Xingliao one after another. They gathered around Lin Xingliao, all of them with sarcastic looks.
The gloomy man spoke again: "The genius with three water spiritual roots must be a very powerful figure among casual cultivators, but when he came to our Baiyun Sect, he couldn't even learn such a simple technique. It's really embarrassing. "
He looked up at the field of elixirs. The herbs seemed to be mocking his incompetence.
Lin Xingliao has no emotions. He will not feel ashamed or annoyed, nor will he be angry. He just wants to solve the current problem now.
So he left the crowd, came to the steward, clasped his fists and said, "Master Steward, please help me see if my spell casting technique is correct."
…
There was another wave of confusion, but in the end, even the steward who had reached the Perfect Nascent Realm didn't notice the problem.
The steward couldn't help but frown: What's going on? There is no problem with his hand skills and spiritual energy circulation circuit. Is it possible that he is not Shuilinggen? But according to the shop owner, doesn’t this child named Lin have three water spiritual roots?
The steward then asked: "What kind of magic did you know before coming to Baiyun Sect? Can you show it to me?"
Lin Xingliao shook his head: "No."
As soon as he heard this, the steward immediately understood what was going on!
This manager has a lot of knowledge, she secretly said in her heart: What a good boy, he has a supernatural root! It's a rare opportunity in a thousand years! This is opportunity! Fortunately, I didn't rush to break through.
The cultivators have different spiritual roots. What kind of spiritual roots they have can only cast certain spells. Now Lin Xingliao, the water-based spell that induces birth, cannot be used at all!
That can only mean that Lin Xingliao is not a water spiritual root at all, but probably a foreign spiritual root, that is, a mutated spiritual root.
Mutated spiritual roots are almost undetectable and only the owner knows them. Moreover, mutated spiritual roots are unique. This is the law of heaven, but it also has a shortcoming.
Mutated spiritual roots can be captured, and as long as the ascetic is in the Nascent Realm, the spiritual roots can be replaced by alien spiritual roots.
The steward tried his best to suppress the joy in his heart, and pretended to think for a moment before saying: "Well, try it yourself first. If you still can't do it later, then come to my place to find me. I will teach you personally. .”
Lin Xingliao secretly said in her heart: Something is wrong, she and I are not related, and this will not be good for her. I have to be on guard.
If we follow common sense, there is nothing wrong with what this steward said.
It is normal for his disciples to take care of them when they encounter difficulties, but if they are taken care of in this way, there is something wrong.
It was also because Lin Xingliao's logical thinking was much stronger than others, and he didn't have any emotion when thinking about problems, that he realized something was wrong.
The steward's performance was a little too enthusiastic, and Lin Xingliao had nothing to offer, so what was she after?
The steward's eyes looked at Lin Xingliao, and Lin Xingliao just felt a hint of familiarity.
This is the way a hunter looks at his prey!
Lin Xingliao couldn't help but think of the time when he followed his father Lin to hunt in the mountains and forests. Isn't this what he saw when he saw rabbits?
In fact, the steward had suppressed her expression very well. There was no trace of joy or greed in her expression.
It's a pity that Lin Xingliao won't be happy or greedy when he looks at his prey, and the look in the steward's eyes now is exactly the same as the look in Lin Xingliao's eyes when he looks at his prey!
Lin Xingliao cupped his fists and saluted, thanked him, and returned to the crowd calmly, thinking about countermeasures.
Now that he has just arrived, he is not familiar with the place. If he rashly confronts the manager, he may not end well. Moreover, the manager's strength is also better than his. What should we do now?
In fact, these are not the most terrifying things. The most terrifying thing is that Lin Xingliao really can't figure out what the manager wants. Since Lin Xingliao didn't understand what the steward wanted, he naturally didn't know how to defend himself...
What to do? What to do?
