Rong Yuan lowered his head and looked at his bony hands full of calluses. There was no shortage of bullies in this world. In the eyes of everyone, he was a mortal without spiritual roots. And because he was afraid of exposing his true identity, he was usually taciturn and a loner. Yifeng became the best target for bullying.
They thought he was easy to bully, so they gave him the dirtiest jobs, didn't give him enough to eat, and robbed him of his wages to have fun. The deacons turned a blind eye even when they accepted bribes. No one would treat a deacon like this. A low-level handyman's job is his job.
He can't find the inheritance fragment, and he may spend his whole life like this. One day he may even give up, escape here and return to the deep mountains and old forests to be a beast that drinks stream water and eats wild fruits, and dies alone after thousands of years.
But Senior Sister Su Ling appeared, and she stood in front of him, not allowing those bad guys to bully him, and brought him here. His dream had never been so beautiful.
Rong Yuan buried his head in the quilt. He couldn't figure out why this human race was so kind to him. When he was at Zaoyu Peak, a senior brother also smiled at him, but then the senior brother defrauded him of his money bag.
Could it be that Senior Sister Su Ling was also lying to him?
Rong Yuan squeezed the soft quilt in his hand, and Su Ling's smiling face appeared in his mind. He didn't dare to think about it deeply. He was afraid that everything was just a dream, and he would wake up in some corner the next day.
The effect of the soothing incense gradually came into play, Rong Yuan's eyelids became heavier and heavier, and he fell into a deep sleep with uneasiness.
…
The next day, Su Ling was woken up by the noisy sound of the system.
[Ding dong! It is detected that the host has additional behavior: others are in class and you are sleeping, you will receive 20 salted fish coins and a nine-star soul-nurturing necklace]
[Nine-star spirit-nurturing necklace: After wearing it, it can continuously deliver spiritual energy to the host, speed up the host's cultivation, and help the host's salty fish]
[The current host’s realm is in the early stage of foundation building, and 20 salted fish coins are required to advance to the next realm]
[The current host’s salted fish coins are: 45. Do you want to consume 20 salted fish coins to advance to the next level?]
"Yes." Su Ling, who had not yet woken up, replied drowsily.
Suddenly, Su Ling's body shook violently, and spiritual energy surged throughout her body, but she had no reaction. This feeling of breakthrough was simply too familiar to her.
[Congratulations to the host for successfully being promoted to the middle of the foundation building period. Promotion to the next level requires 100 salted fish coins]
[The current host’s salted fish coins are: 25]
Su Ling rubbed her eyes and put the necklace on her neck. She slept more comfortably than ever before, but she didn't know what the junior brother she brought back yesterday was doing.
Su Ling opened the door and stretched out comfortably, and saw Rong Yuan wearing the new clothes she bought, staring blankly at the Long Yuan sword she had inserted on the ground yesterday.
"Good morning, junior brother~" Su Ling asked curiously: "Junior brother, do you like this sword?"
Rong Yuan pursed his lips. He didn't know how to answer his senior sister. This sword had the scent of their dragon clan, and he felt very friendly.
"I like it." He hesitated for a while before telling the truth.
"In this case, I will give this Long Yuan sword to my junior brother." Su Ling pulled out the sword and handed it directly to Rong Yuan.
Since Jian Rongyuan likes it, then don't sell it.
Rong Yuan took the Long Yuan Sword and gently stroked the lines on the Long Yuan Sword. The familiar feeling became stronger and stronger. There seemed to be dragon roars in his ears, as if it was a call from his ancestors.
Rong Yuan's heart pounded, Long Yuan Sword? How come senior sister has a dragon sword?
Su Ling had no idea that there was a battle between heaven and man in Rong Yuan's mind, so she took out a spiritual fruit from her storage ring and started chewing it.
"Where's breakfast? Do you have breakfast?"
Hearing Su Ling's words, Rong Yuan's wandering thoughts came back. He put his sword away and ran to the kitchen.
Su Ling sat in front of the stone table and waited, and soon heard the sound of a bowl breaking.
Wow——
Su Ling hurried to the kitchen and saw Rong Yuan standing there helplessly, with meat porridge scattered on the floor and a broken bowl next to it.
Seeing Su Ling's sudden frown, Rong Yuan blamed himself and felt flustered. The senior sister was angry because he kept thinking about the sword while serving porridge.
Rong Yuan lowered his head subconsciously. In the past, when he broke things at the Meritorious Peak, the deacon would slap him. If the senior sister slapped him, he would suffer all the pain. He only hoped that the senior sister could relieve his anger.
There was no scolding or slap as expected. Su Ling grabbed Rong Yuan's hand, looked at it carefully before his eyes, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sister, I was scared to death. I thought the porridge burned my hands."
Su Ling waved her hand, and all the pieces of meat and porridge on the ground returned to the trash can. She took out two bowls from the cabinet and started filling them.
"Let's go, let's eat together." Su Ling held two bowls of porridge with a smile.
The young man felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. He didn't know what it meant. He only knew that there was a warm feeling in his chest.
The two of them ate the porridge bite by bite, and after a while Rong Yuan took the initiative to speak.
"Senior sister, junior brother can't have that sword."
"Why?" Su Ling was puzzled: "Junior brother doesn't like it very much?"
"Because..." Rong Yuan's long eyelashes cast a shadow in the sunlight: "Because junior brother has no spiritual roots."
The meat porridge in Su Ling's hand suddenly lost its flavor. Is this poor junior brother a mortal? No wonder those people bullied him unscrupulously.
Su Ling laughed awkwardly: "Haha, it's okay. If you can't practice, the sword is pretty handy for chopping firewood..."
Eh? No, Su Ling woke up suddenly. Rong Yuan was clearly using magic power in the dream, how could he be a mortal?
Su Ling put down the porridge, stretched out her index finger to lightly touch Rong Yuan's forehead, and used her spiritual consciousness to examine the other person's body, only to find a mess of chaotic power.
Su Ling's brows knitted together. It was true that her junior brother had no spiritual roots, but she could clearly feel the spiritual energy in the other person's body. It was absolutely impossible for a mortal to do this.
Could it be that my junior brother's spiritual roots are rare and super invincible mixed spiritual roots? Because they are so messy that even the stone that detects spiritual roots cannot detect them?
Su Ling explored a few more times, and after feeling the spiritual energy again, he became more and more determined in his thoughts. Although this kind of spiritual root was inferior, it should not be impossible to cultivate with hard work.
In order to help Rong Yuan regain his confidence, Su Ling racked his brains and said: "Junior brother, is there a possibility that you have Wuji spiritual roots?"
"Wuji Spiritual Root?" Rong Yuan looked a little confused.
"That's right!" Su Ling pointed to the sky and said: "Junior brother, it's not that you don't have spiritual roots, it's just that your spiritual roots jumped out of the three realms and are no longer in the five elements. It can also be said that the five elements merged and returned to infinite chaos, so the spiritual roots are not visible!"
"Sister, what I mean is that the spirit-detecting stones in this world are too low-level, and they cannot detect your advanced Wuji spiritual roots!"
Rong Yuan looked at Su Ling's serious nonsense, and vaguely felt in his heart that the senior sister must not know that he was a dragon when he said this.
Thinking of this, he suddenly became happy, and a big stone finally fell to the ground in his heart. The senior sister was different from others, she was not a liar, and her kindness to him was true.
"Really, Senior Sister?"
Rong Yuan blinked and asked, with a tone of relief that he didn't even notice.
"real!"
Su Ling's eyes sparkled: "So junior brother can't give up cultivation. As long as he works hard like senior sister, junior brother will definitely become the most powerful monk."
【diligent? Hard work? 】The system’s humble voice appeared in Su Ling’s mind.
Su Ling: Get out.
【Okay~】
Rong Yuan looked at the light in Su Ling's eyes and nodded eccentrically. The senior sister was so kind to him after saving him. She was the best person in the world. He didn't want to reject her.
"Okay, just wait. Senior sister will go to the sect master now to ask how to cultivate the Wuji Spiritual Root." Su Ling became energetic and did what she said.
