Pagoda Immortality

There is a place shrouded in fog all year round at the northwest end of Liangzhou. If an ordinary person strays into it for more than ten feet, he will become dizzy and cannot find the north. Finally, he wanders around and returns to the outside, unable to pass through the fog.

Behind the mist, you can vaguely see a cross-cut steep cliff. The cliff is no less than a hundred feet high and stretches for an unknown number of miles from east to west. It is very spectacular.

On this day, a black and shiny carriage slowly drove into the fog. It drove left and right for about half a quarter of an hour before it passed through the fog and stood in front of a small wooden house under the cliff.

Three older men and women jumped out of the carriage first, followed by three younger teenagers.

The three teenagers each have their own characteristics. One of them has a strong build, big eyes and thick eyebrows, a round waist and thick shoulders. At a young age, he does not look easy to mess with.

The other person had a normal build, and his face was originally handsome but had a pair of rat eyes and two pointed rabbit teeth, which made him look a bit vulgar.

Compared with the first two people, although the last boy's skin is a little tanned and a little thinner, he is much more symmetrical in comparison. His face is not ugly originally, but he looks a bit handsome against the background of the two. , Ru Mo's eyes exude the light of wisdom from time to time.

The visitors were none other than Lu Li and his party, who had been traveling for six days straight.

Chu Qing seemed to be afraid that Zhou Xinyi and He Jun would take away his credit, so he ordered them to return the carriage, while he took the opportunity to lead Lu Li and the others to the left side of the cliff.

Lu Li was thinking that the cliff looked very smooth and there were no unnecessary buildings around it. He thought that this place was not the Qingyang Sect. After walking for a while, he realized that there was a path leading straight up the mountain.

The path was no more than three feet wide, and the stone steps above seemed to have been cut out, and they were very steep.

As if afraid that Lu Li and the others would fall off the stone steps, Chu Qing asked the three of them to walk in front.

The three of them used their hands and feet to climb up hard. Even though they hunted a lot for exercise, the steep stone steps still made them very tired. Especially Qin Shouren, who was crawling in the middle, suddenly turned around and found that he had reached the top of the clouds. A gust of cool wind hit him. His legs softened and he almost rolled down.

Lu Li didn't dare to look back at all, he just kept urging Qin Shouren to hurry up.

It took a full quarter of an hour for a few people to finally climb to the top of the cliff. The front suddenly opened up, and a huge bluestone square first came into view. The square was surrounded by various ancient buildings, and in the distance there were many peaks, shrouded in clouds and mist. It looks very dreamy on top of these mountains.

At this time, in front of the right side of where the few people were standing, there was a towering stone tablet with the three characters "Qingyang Sect" engraved on it.

All three of them had their mouths open, as if they were country bumpkins coming to town.

"We'll take a look at these things later. Several junior brothers will come with me first, and I'll take you to test the spiritual roots." Chu Qing said impatiently.

Hearing this, Lu Li and the others quickly followed.

There is an attic on the east side of the square called the Foreign Affairs Hall, which is the place where the Qingyang Sect handles trivial matters of the sect, including recruiting new members, issuing tasks, etc. Chu Qing led the three of them straight in, and then followed the stairs to the second floor.

In the lobby on the second floor, an old man in Tsing Yi was drinking tea leisurely. When he saw Chu Qing arriving, he couldn't help but look at him, stood up, and asked, "What's going on?"

The old man in Qingyi is named Yu Tong. He is the second elder of the Qingyang Sect and also serves as the head of the Foreign Affairs Hall. Only in June and July every year when the Qingyang Sect recruits new members does he go to the Foreign Affairs Hall to help test the spiritual root attributes. He usually Retreat in your own cave.

It was already the end of July, and this year's recruitment had ended, and he was about to pack up and go back to the cave to practice. Unexpectedly, a few more little guys came.

However, this Chu Qing was not from the Foreign Affairs Hall and was not responsible for recruiting new people. He was a little confused.

Chu Qing hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully with a little pride: "Second Elder Qi, this disciple met these three little guys by chance when he was out on a mission. They have all awakened their spiritual roots. Please ask the Second Elder to help detect them." It’s like a few spiritual roots.”

The second elder is a powerful foundation-builder, and only in the foundation-builder stage can he explore the spiritual roots of others.

Hearing this, Yu Tong glanced at the worried Lu Li and the others in surprise, then looked at Chu Qing and said in surprise, "You actually have such an opportunity!"

Three at a time, this kind of opportunity is not something that everyone can encounter.

There is a rule in Qingyang Sect that as long as you can bring new people to the sect, the sect will be rewarded. The better the talent, the higher the reward. In addition to the rewards from the Qingyang Sect, if the disciples he introduced were lucky enough to enter the Shangzong, the rewards from the Shangzong would be even richer.

Therefore, many people in the Qingyang Sect are very keen to go out and look for suitable seedlings. However, looking for seedlings with spiritual roots is like looking for a needle in a haystack. It all depends on fate. Some people have been looking for a lifetime and never found a seedling. Like Chu Qing did this. I encountered three of them in one mission. It would be an understatement to say that I was just lucky.

"Hehe, it's okay, it's okay." Chu Qing grinned almost to the waistband of his pants and urged, "Second Elder, take a look. If you have a Heavenly Spiritual Root, it will be very developed."

"Tianlinggen?" Yu Tong rolled his eyes at Chu Qing, "Go and dream of your spring and autumn dreams."

After speaking, he looked at Lu Li and said, "What's your name?"

Lu Li was already extremely nervous when he heard the conversation between the two. When he heard the other party calling him, his mind suddenly roared. He then realized when he heard the other party shout again. He took a step forward and said, "My name is Lu Li."

"No need to be so nervous." Yu Tong smiled and waved to Lu Li, "Come forward."

Lu Li thought that raising his head or shrinking his head would be a stab, so he took a deep breath and walked over.

Yu Tong nodded, then pinched Lu Li's wrist and began to examine it. Lu Li suddenly felt like his internal organs were being seen through. Chu Qing stared at this scene, feeling as excited as opening a blind box.

After a moment, Yu Tong's brows furrowed, and then his face began to tremble crazily, and he murmured, "Gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, light, darkness... Pfft !”

"I have never seen such rubbish spiritual roots!"

"What?" Chu Qing was stunned, "Second Elder, are you mistaken? They all succeeded in awakening after taking only one awakening pill. At least they had five spiritual roots. How could it be possible... ....”

"Hmph, I can still trick you!" The smile on Yu Tong's face disappeared, "Next one."

"Gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind and darkness..."

"Gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind and thunder..."

Finally, all three people were tested. At this time, Yu Tong's face had turned livid. He really couldn't figure out how these three living treasures were awakened.

And Chu Qing's face also darkened. Normal pseudo-spiritual roots can be rewarded, but if they are miscellaneous spiritual roots...

"Senior, can we stay?"

Although the two people looked bad, Lu Li still couldn't help but want to ask for a result. Of course, if it didn't work, he wouldn't force it. If he couldn't get the technique here, he would have to think of other ways.

Now that he has awakened his spiritual roots, Lu Li will continue to walk on even if it becomes useless again.
