"The evil technique of stealing the sky and exchanging the sun is really extremely sinister!"
Meng Han sighed unconsciously, and thought of the Liao family brothers and sisters. He estimated that these two people had become the souls of Yue Zuan's men, and said with lingering fear: "Fortunately, we will get rid of him today. If this evil magic spreads, I don't know how much trouble will happen!" "
Then he looked at Zhao Shun and asked, "Has something happened to you?"
"He..." Zhao Shun touched his Dantian and said hesitantly: "He took out the wood spirit root. I wonder if it will have any difference in cultivation..."
Meng Han's expression was solemn. He had never seen such a situation before and could not explain why. "After you return to the sect, I will take you to show it to the elders and see what explanation they give."
That was all. Zhao Chun was not too nervous. When she activated her spiritual power to speed up the absorption of the medicinal properties, although the wood spiritual energy could no longer be sensed, the metal and fire energy did not show signs of decay, but became stronger.
A surprising thought arose in her mind, but she didn't know whether it was true or not. She wouldn't know until she returned to the sect.
Yue Zuan was once a great monk of Ning Yuan, but he was homeless for half his life. He went into hiding in order to restore his cultivation, and most of his accumulated wealth was squandered. However, the skinny camel was bigger than the horse, so the two of them still received twenty spiritual jade pieces and more than a thousand jade stones.
It is worth mentioning that there is also a bag of flame pellets that Yue Zuan imitated. This thing is useful for monks in the early stages of Qi training, but it is quite weak in the middle and late stages. Meng Han didn't think much of it, so he gave it all to Zhao Chun.
As for the gift bag, it was used by Ning Yuanqi. If Zhao Shun kept it by himself, he might not be able to keep it, so he gave up. In return, Meng Han gave her all his spiritual jades and gemstones.
Zhao Xun weighed the cloth bag around her waist. It was just an ordinary object that would bulge into a ball when it was filled with things. Now that she had suddenly become rich, she had to consider buying a cloth bag that could hold things.
The two of them came out of the cave, searched and turned into a dark cave, where they found a bronze pagoda with sharp horns. This is Yue Zuan's natal magical weapon. Once he is dead, the pagoda is useless.
The man in the tower was released by Meng Han and suddenly sat on the ground. Only when he saw the two men did he know that he had been rescued.
Feng Sanchu hurriedly thanked the two people, and then learned the sad news that the Liao brothers and sisters had been killed, and he was deeply saddened.
After asking Hong Qian again, I found out that Mrs. Hong was so frightened in the tower that she went crazy and couldn't babble. Hong Qian supported her mother, her expression became firm, and she thanked them both. Overnight, she was no longer the same girl as the girl hanging on the tree in Zhao Chun's memory.
Everyone rushed all the way back to the market city. The Hong family had already been turned over, leaving a mess all over the ground.
Standing in front of the gate was a tall man with a round face. He was the housekeeper Xiaoshuang. He had been guarding here. When he saw the Hong family's mother and daughter returning safely, he came up to him in surprise and said: "Miss! Madam!"
Mrs. Hong's eyes were dull and she snuggled into her daughter's arms. She did not speak and only twitched slightly.
"You're the only one left..." Hong Qian had a sad look on her face and led the people into the house without explaining in detail.
Hong Qisheng's body was buried by Xiao Shuang, and the inner room was roughly cleaned.
Hong Qian had already guessed that her father had been killed, but now was not the time to grieve. She held back her tears and said: "My father passed away, and my home was robbed. The rewards promised to the immortal masters will not be paid for a while, but please Don’t worry, Immortal Master, once the family settles down, the reward will be sent to the Lingzhen Sect in full.”
Zhao Chun and the others had no intention of doing this, but when Hong Qian insisted, they promised to take only two copies in the names of the Liao brothers and sisters and transfer them to his parents.
"My father has made many enemies in the market city. I want to sell my house and join his former mortal family so that I can take care of my mother. In this case, I have to ask the immortal master for something." Hong Qian took off the bracelet from around her neck. He handed the necklace to Meng Han and said, "The gems embedded in it can be illuminated by the moonlight and reveal the words. They are the immortal Taoism and the source of the disaster for my Hong family."
"My mother and I are both mortals, and the people chosen for the husband-in-law have also run away. It would be a disaster to keep it in our hands anyway. It is better to give it to the immortal master, which is both an apology and a thank-you gift."
The three of them presented this Taoist method to the sect, which was considered a credit. Meng Han nodded in agreement and put the Yingluo in his bag.
The trip to the city ended with gains and losses.
Zhao Shun bought some small items for Zhou Pianran, and asked Meng Han to help her buy a storage bag with five spiritual jade.
She has no background, low level of cultivation, hard to find channels, and she also needs to understand the principle of not revealing her wealth.
Five days after returning to Lingzhen, the three of them each received 500 gems for submitting the Hong family's Taoist method. Only then did Zhao Chun realize that this method was valuable in the eyes of casual cultivators, but it was not uncommon in the Lingzhen sect, and was rated as a top-grade mortal. , and went to the Wanzang Pavilion.
Feng Sanchu was going to visit the parents of the Liao brothers and sisters, while Meng Han took Zhao Chun all the way to Elder Lin in the outer sect.
He seemed to be quite familiar with Elder Lin, and he went in without being summoned.
"Didn't you go to Huiming Villa to get spiritual fruits? You came back so quickly." Elder Lin twirled his long beard and asked in surprise.
Meng Han also led Zhao Shun to sit down together and said: "Something happened and I almost lost my life. Let's talk about the spiritual fruit later. I have only been promoted to the ninth level not long ago, so I am not in a hurry."
"You are of the Earth attribute, and it would be difficult for monks of the same level to hurt you, let alone kill you," he frowned and said, "Are you in the foundation building stage?"
"I met a madman!" Meng Han did not shy away and told him about Yue Zuan.
Elder Lin jumped up from his seat in shock and said: "God bless you two, let the evil spirit die! This matter needs to be reported to the sect and let the head and the inner sect elders know!" He walked around and pulled Zhao Shun came to the front and said: "Ordinary people have had their Dantian broken and their cultivation has been lost long ago, but you survived. I have never seen such a situation..."
"He only took away the wood spirit root... but are there other differences?"
Zhao Shun replied: "When Yue Zuan wanted to take the spiritual root again, he was attacked by the golden fire spiritual root, and was later killed by senior brother Meng." What she said was true, and she only concealed the change of the bead.
"Backlash? Is there any difference in your usual practice?"
"There is absolutely no difference between the disciples' golden and fire spiritual roots, and they have the potential to merge with each other."
After Elder Lin thought about it carefully, he sighed: "Both of these two types of spiritual roots are aggressive. Perhaps after losing the neutralization of the wood attribute, they fueled each other's violence, and the evil demon set himself on fire."
"Although I don't know what impact it will have on you, if this turns you into a gold-fire spiritual root, it will be a blessing in disguise." He led the two of them to the Zhaoling Screen Wall and said, "Come, I will take the test again for you. , let’s see what the result is.”
It's still the familiar gold and red colors, but this time there's no light green. Two equally dazzling colors evenly divide the screen wall.
Elder Lin was mixed with joy and sorrow, and patted Zhao Shun's shoulder. It was a good thing for the sect to have more twin spiritual roots, but this twin spiritual root was different from others. He didn't know if there would be any changes in the subsequent practice, and he didn't know. Dare to be too optimistic.
"I will report the matter between you and Yue Zuan tomorrow. Logically speaking, the twin spiritual roots must enter the inner sect, but the specific details will depend on what the leader says. You wait for the news first, and don't get too excited. hope."
Zhao Chun nodded, it would be best if she could enter the inner sect. If she failed, she would not be unable to practice. If she broke into the foundation building, she could also become a disciple of the inner sect.
"There are rules for entering the inner sect with dual spirit roots. Rules are rules, how can they be easily changed?" Meng Han smiled at her, raised his eyebrows and said, "I think Junior Sister Zhao will definitely be able to do it. When the time comes, Junior Sister Come take care of me!"
"Senior Brother Meng and I have a life-long friendship. After establishing the foundation, Senior Brother will become a legitimate inner disciple. No matter how you say it, you must be under the care of Senior Brother."
The two exchanged a few more words, and then parted ways after bidding farewell to Elder Lin.
A group of people in the Hemerocallis Garden had been waiting for Zhao Chun for a long time. When they saw her opening the door and coming in, they immediately surrounded her and asked her what was wrong.
It turned out that the news of the death of the Liao brothers and sisters came out, which frightened them so much that they first asked others about Zhao Shun's whereabouts and found out that she was still alive. He was also afraid that she would be injured, so he took a leave of absence and waited for her in the hospital.
Zhao Chun went through all the details, and the four of them turned pale with fright. Although they felt that she was a blessing in disguise and had two spiritual roots, they were also afraid that Zhao Chun would lose her life, so she advised: "If you can't enter the inner door, can you build it?" Jidu is nothing more than an afterthought, you must never risk your wealth and life again!"
She agreed on the face, but sighed in her heart. The path of spiritual practice is to fight with heaven and people. If you don't fight, how can you have a way out?
