Returning to Wugou Peak, He Gu first went to the mountainside to cut down some bamboo, spent half a day preparing all the necessary materials, and started building a kitchen.
Kong Rou returned to her room with the newly bought clothes and a few books. When He Gu was busy, she walked out with the books, sat down on the steps and started reading carefully.
From time to time, she raised her head and secretly looked at He Gu, comparing the contents in the book.
Occasionally I am lost in thought, and occasionally I am distracted.
When he came to his senses, he shook his little head again and again, forcing himself to focus and not to think wildly.
The sun in early winter has reached the middle, and then gradually started to trend downward.
The last bamboo was nailed, and Wugu Peak finally had a decent kitchen.
He Gu went in and arranged the layout inside, and arranged all the necessary facilities and appliances.
Seeing that it was about to be finished, Kongrou put down her book and ran in to read.
"so big!"
She was surprised by the unexpected large space.
"I chopped a lot of bamboo, so I just used it all." He Gu explained with a smile.
Then he asked Kongrou: "Do you like it?"
Kong Rou nodded heavily: "Yes, I like it. As long as it is made by Brother He, Xiaorou likes it."
"That's good." He Gu reached out to touch Kongrou's head out of habit, but he had to take it back when he realized his hands were dirty.
Upon seeing this, Kongrou hurriedly ran out, and when she came back she brought a basin of water.
He Gu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I'll just do it myself next time."
After washing his hands, he took the white towel handed by Kongrou and wiped them dry. However, he saw Kongrou's big eyes looking straight at him, looking forward to something.
He Gu was defeated and raised his hand to touch Kongrou's head.
Kong Rou suddenly looked comfortable and satisfied.
After cleaning up the kitchen, He Gu was pushed out by Kong Rou. She cooked a few dishes by herself, and the two of them finished lunch.
In the afternoon, He Gu urged Kongrou to release the spirit buds again. Based on the experience last time, this time he covered the bathtub with an extra red cloth as a shield.
The process went smoothly. The spiritual buds in Kong Rou's body grew a little more, and many sharp points appeared on the top.
After that, He Gu helped Kongrou to activate the spiritual buds every afternoon.
I don't know if it's because of the activation of spiritual roots or because of the improvement in food these days. In short, Kongrou is becoming more energetic and has some flesh on her face.
The previous malnourished complexion disappeared, and the plump appearance became even cuter.
As the days passed, apart from the daily routine of meditation and being busy with Kong Rou, He Gu also became more and more concerned about the situation of his junior sister and master. He had no choice but to wait as there was no news.
He knew something about the place Leng Qingzhu said was suitable for resting. It was a small closed secret space with rich aura of heaven and earth. According to legend, it had some connection with Canglong, one of the five ferocious beasts in ancient times.
With his strength, he couldn't get in even if he found a spot.
On the seventh day, the spiritual buds in Kongrou's body transformed into spiritual roots as expected, and she officially became a cultivator.
The moment she got the result, Kong Rou was so happy that she jumped up from the tub, turned around and hugged He Gu tightly.
The red cloth was pushed down and fell into the tub.
He Gu, who was caught off guard, felt a warm, moist and soft body suddenly crash into his arms, and then pressed close to him, and his body immediately froze.
He pulled back a little, with an embarrassed look on his face: "Xiao Rou?"
Kong Rou came to consciousness, her face flushed, and she suddenly retreated into the tub. She hurriedly grabbed the red cloth to cover her body, her head almost immersed in the water.
He Guqing coughed and managed to calm down: "Come to me when you have finished packing. I will take you to test the attributes and levels of your spiritual roots."
After saying that, he fled Kongrou's room in panic.
Thinking of her bold move just now, Kong Rou's little deer jumped up and down, became dizzy, and half-submerged in the water, bubbling with a gurgling sound.
After leaving Kongrou's room, He Gu took a few deep breaths and took a while to calm down.
"It's strange, is my concentration so weak..."
He muttered, walked out a few steps, and waited patiently at the side for Kongrou to come out.
After a while, the room was opened, and Kongrou walked out unnaturally with a red face.
When she arrived in front of He Gu, her eyes wandered and she called Brother He in a weak voice.
It could be seen that she was a little nervous, and he didn't dare to mention what happened just now. He gently stroked her hair, and it took a while before she felt her body relax.
"Let's go, I'll take you to test your spiritual roots. Once your spiritual roots are confirmed, you can start practicing with the exercises."
Seeing her smile as usual, He Gu took her to the ancestral hall on the mountain.
In front of the Ancestor Hall, which has an ancient color and a solemn atmosphere, there is a stone platform that has left traces of vicissitudes over time.
The pitted white stone platform is only big enough for one person to stand on, and there is a black stone pillar standing on the inside.
The body of the stone pillar is divided into six sections by five horizontal lines, and each section is engraved with words. From bottom to top, it is divided into lower grade, lower middle grade, middle grade, middle grade upper grade, upper grade, and extreme grade.
There is also a groove on the top, with a fist-sized dark jade bead embedded in it.
He Gu held up Kongrou's waist with both hands and placed her on the stone platform so that she could touch the jade beads.
On the other hand, he reminded: "Just touch it with two hands."
Kongrou stretched out her hand as she was told.
He Gu became curious and carefully observed the reaction of the spirit test bead.
The moment Kongrou's hand touched the bead, a stream of light streaked across the smooth surface of the bead.
Gradually, a strange phenomenon appeared inside the dark bead body, and small light cyan spots appeared out of thin air, slowly gathering towards the center.
blue? Could it be the wood attribute...
He Gu is thoughtful.
The next moment he let out a light sigh.
In the spirit-measuring bead, the countless light cyan light spots did not converge into the image of trees. Instead, they gathered at the center of the bead and connected into green lines, which then circled in the same direction.
"The image of wind, this is... the wind attribute spiritual root!" He Gu was surprised.
There are two types of spiritual roots for cultivators, one is the universal spiritual root, which includes metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and the other is the alien spiritual root, which includes ice, thunder, wind, yin and yang.
The latter category is rarer than the former, and its effects are more mysterious.
He himself just has an ordinary fire spirit root, while his master and junior sister both have alien spirit roots, the former has a Yin alien spirit root, and the latter has an ice alien spirit root.
Now, a third person with rare spiritual roots was born next to him. In comparison, his cultivation talent seemed to be much inferior.
He suppressed his excitement and did not dare to make any noise to disturb him. He was looking forward to the quality of Kongrou's rare spiritual root.
As the green lines formed inside the bead, the lower end of the black stone pillar began to emit white light.
Low, medium, and medium light up in sequence.
It wasn't until the mid-to-upper section was lit that the upward momentum was stopped and finally settled.
Above average, the same quality as him.
Although it is already very good, it is still a pity. After all, this kind of thing is related to cultivation talent. Of course, the higher the better.
The attributes of spiritual roots limit the choice of exercises and Tao techniques for future practice, and have a certain impact on the cultivation of Tao Yun in the Four Dao Realm in the future. Except for some special Taoist rhymes, ordinary Taoist rhymes need to match the spiritual root attributes.
The quality of the spiritual root affects the efficiency of the cultivator in absorbing spiritual energy and converting it into his own spiritual power, as well as the probability of falling into the realm when the realm breakthrough fails.
A person with high spiritual root quality can have more error tolerance than others to support cultivation to a high level.
