Being a villain is also popular in the world of self-cultivation

Shen Chi's gaze paused for a moment on the word "be a teacher" before turning to Xilinggen.

Cleansing spirit roots, as the name suggests, is to remove the relatively weak miscellaneous spirit roots in the practitioner's body.

In the early spirit world, when almost all sects recruit disciples, most of the first elements they look at are spiritual roots, and among them, only the Chengjian sect is more independent.

However, Cheng Jianzong's way of recruiting disciples seems simple, but it also has a hidden secret. Even if people without spiritual roots go to the test and pass the first few rounds, they will definitely have no chance to pass the comprehension test.

At least in his previous life, Shen Chi had seen Cheng Jianzong's various recruiting methods many times, but he had never heard that Cheng Jianzong had received any disciples without spiritual roots.

Just as some people are born different from them, there is an insurmountable gap between those with spiritual roots and those without spiritual roots. This is why Cheng Jianzong puts the spiritual root test at the last place with confidence. reason.

After all, a useless spiritual root like Shen Chi is like a heavenly spiritual root, which is rare in a thousand years.

Spiritual roots can be said to be one of the most important prerequisites for practitioners. Generally, spiritual roots are gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and five attributes. Among them, single spiritual roots are the most outstanding, followed by double spiritual roots, and then thereafter.There are three kinds of abnormal spirit roots, namely thunder, ice, and wind. The single-line abnormal spirit root is also called the sky spirit root, and they are all rare cultivation wizards.

However, if a foreign spirit root is combined with an ordinary spirit root, it is very likely to become a waste spirit root. For example, thunder water, wind metal, ice fire, and waste spirit roots are extremely rare. There are even fewer combined ordinary spiritual roots.

In his previous life, Shen Chi also tried to find a way to pull out a spiritual root in his body, and found some records, but almost all the methods were only applicable to ordinary spiritual roots, but there was no way to do it in his body.

Fundamentally speaking, it is impossible to balance these groups of reverse spirit root attributes, but when they are combined together, they always seem to be one, and they cannot be separated at all.

That's why Shen Chi was so surprised at first when he heard that the system would transform him into a pure spirit body and remove the fire root.

But now that Mingli actually bluntly said that he would cleanse his spiritual root in three years, Shen Chi almost subconsciously threw out the jade slip in his hand.

As we all know, every cultivator has a chance to cleanse his spiritual roots once in his life, but almost no one has ever done so.

First of all, the spirit is born at all. If you want to change it, you need to go through countless hardships, and the success rate is extremely low. If you fail, it is very likely that not only the previous spiritual roots will not be preserved, but you will become a body without spiritual roots.

Furthermore, the cost of washing the spirit root is extremely high, not to mention those high-level spirit grasses and spiritual treasure pills, which also requires a super-clearing master who has a high control over the true essence to continuously pour the true essence into the body of the spirit cleanser, It took seven to seven 49 days to succeed, and if the master stopped working during the overhaul, it is very likely that the success will fall short, and even cause the overhaul to regress.

And this is just a method of cleansing the spirit of ordinary spiritual roots.

No matter how you look at it, Ming Li doesn't seem like a person who can speak empty words, Shen Chi somewhat believes that he has a way to cleanse his spiritual roots.

But why?

The way for ordinary cultivators to wash their spiritual roots is so troublesome and dangerous, not to mention his ice and fire spiritual roots.

Before accepting gifts from apprentices, Shen Chi could barely believe that he was so savvy and happy when he saw it, and he fell in love with his word, but it involved the spirit root...

With a sullen face, Shen Chi put away the jade slip and the jade buckle in his hand.

Although he is just an ordinary person who has just stepped into the world of cultivation and has no place for others to covet, he never believes that someone would be so kind to a person who has never met before or even knows him for no reason. .

But at this time, there is still half a month before the time given by the system, even if staying here is useless, it will arouse suspicion from others. Thinking of this, Shen Chi suppressed his doubts, got up and left this small secret place.

Although Shen Chi stayed in that small secret realm for less than an hour, but with the two hours before the journey, the sky had gradually turned dark, the originally clear sky was covered with a layer of gray, and the original sparkling blue The surface of the lake was also stained with dust.

The climate of each mountain in Chengjianzong is different. Red Wild Goose Peak can be said to be like spring all the year round, but it seems that it is going to rain in this battle.

Compared with when he came in, Shen Chi went out and picked a longer road. When he left the forest, it was already dark, but fortunately, the rain did not fall.There were lights flickering on the edge of the forest, and there were faint conversations. Hearing the voices, Shen Chi recognized that they should be the few people who followed him inexplicably in the afternoon.

"When I passed the Yunguang Pavilion just now, I heard Brother Neimen say that someone is ascending the heavenly steps."

"Hiss... is that the legend that as long as you climb up, you can directly enter the inner sect of the Chengjian Sect?"

"That person must have come late, but I think he might as well wait another ten years to recruit new recruits. Legend has it that no one who has come to challenge the ascension to the sky has ever succeeded."

"No, my mother clearly said that for nearly a thousand years, Cheng Jianzong has a person who entered the door through the heavenly steps."

"Hey, who is it?"

"It was Elder Mingli who wanted to take Shen Chi as his personal heir when we tested the spirit root today, and I heard that he is Lei Lingen."

"I'm not sure about that, hey! Let's find out where the Shenchi is. It's getting dark, and it will be dangerous if it rains soon."

Hearing everyone's conversations, and knowing that someone was ascending the heavenly steps, Shen Chi's mind flashed the image of Shen Wuhu, but he quickly forgot about it.

As far as Shen Chi knows, Mingli Linggen is indeed Leilinggen, which is the same as Shen Wuhuo. No wonder the two were able to become masters and apprentices in their previous lives, and they were able to practice Mahayana of swordsmanship within a thousand years. No matter what aspect, Mingli can be regarded as a genius .

Not only is he a genius, but Mingli is also a martial idiot. In his previous life, Shen Chi had just made a small achievement, Mingli had already ascended to the top, but his image as a martial idiot has been passed down for hundreds of years. After all, there are almost no sects that he has not been taught by.

Shen Chi is undoubtedly willing to become a master and apprentice with such a person.But the attitude of the other party seems to be a little...too affectionate, which has to make Shen Chi alert.

After pondering for a moment, Shen Chi said to the system, 【Is there any detailed information? 】

[Returning to the host, Immortal Mingli ascended too early in the plot, and there is no detailed information.But please don't worry the host, the system has not detected any abnormalities, and the Mingli Xianjun's personality is within the normal range. 】

Seeing the rain falling, several teenagers were a little anxious. They really liked Shenchi, but they couldn't find anyone after looking for it for so long, so they couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.

"It's raining, he may have gone back, let's go back too."

"Yeah, it's a big night, even if he is young and playful, he should go back."

"Then go back first, and I'll look for it later."

Thin and dense raindrops dripped on his body through the sparse forest leaves, there was a faint coolness, Shen Chi tugged at his wrinkled sleeves, and walked towards the boy who was still searching aimlessly.

The young man was wearing a blue padded jacket, with a bun, and his thick eyebrows and big eyes looked very energetic. At this time, he was protecting the lantern in his hand, while looking around, when he turned around, he saw Shen Chi coming out of the forest. Holding the lantern, he walked towards Shen Chi in a few steps, "Shen Chi, you are here! It's raining, hurry back."

Shen Chi glanced at the rain on the other party's face, said hello, and then asked, "Are you here to find me?"

"Yeah, I saw you go into the woods before, and the strict steward told me that there is danger inside, and it's getting dark, we were worried that something might happen to you, so we came to take a look, but just now the juniors saw it was raining and went back first. Not to mention the matter of looking for it for almost an hour, the young man scratched the back of his head and laughed, "My name is Zhang Yuheng, you can call me by my name, and when you are passed on in the future, we will have to call you Shishuzu."

While the boy was talking, raindrops dripped into the lampshade along the lantern wire, and the already weak fire was extinguished instantly.

The edge of the mountain forest, where there was still a glimmer of light, was completely plunged into darkness.

"what--"

The boy who was afraid of the dark screamed suddenly, which made Shen Chi's ear hurt, "Shut up!"

"Hmm!" Hearing Shen Chi's voice, Zhang Yuheng subconsciously covered his mouth, and stared at Shen Chi's direction with wide eyes, his eyes still couldn't hide the fear of darkness.

Shen Chi didn't have a fire pocket on him, and it was raining now, even if he lit the fire, it would go out. Fortunately, Shen Chi had good eyesight and could barely see things in the dark. He looked at the direction and said to Zhang Yuheng, "Come with me."

After walking a few steps, he found that the other party did not follow, Shen Chi turned his head, only to find that the other party was trembling in a daze, "What's wrong?"

"I, I can't see, I'm afraid of the dark." The tall boy replied.

When Shen Chi led the staggering young man back to the courtyard where the outer disciples lived temporarily before the house was built, both of them were covered with mud, and they could see the light. Shen Chi glanced at the hand held tightly by the other side, "You can let go now."

"Oh... oh!" The young man quickly let go of Shen Chi's palm, his eyes were full of embarrassment, "Thank you, and I'm sorry, I just caused you to fall." Such an adult, I still need a child Dare to lead the way, Zhang Yuheng blushed a little.

[Congratulations to the host, you have gained the sincere friendship of the supporting role in the mid-term, and the counterattack speed has increased by 0.5%. 】

【…】

Shen Chi returned to the small courtyard where he stayed overnight yesterday. He stood in front of the door and paused before reaching out and pushing the door open. He took two steps forward and stopped in front of the only table in the house, shaking it aside. I lit the candles on the table, the candles flickered, and then illuminated the whole space.

Under the orange candlelight, there was a blank sheet of paper on the table, with neat and elegant small seal characters on it.

"Brother, you are going to our sect now. If you want to enter, the sect stone has been closed. You can only abide by the gate rules and wait for him to ascend to the heavenly steps. I will guard it, and don't look forward to it. Yun Yu stays."

Where did this person know that he had a good relationship with Shen Wuhuo?

Shen Chi read the words on the paper at a glance, then threw it aside, and changed his soaked clothes.

After a day, Shen Wuhuo was only halfway up the steps at this moment. Although he had no expression on his face at this moment, he was still a little out of breath. In addition, it was dark and raining, and he slipped almost every step he took. A little, but he always seems to be able to step back on the right path when he is about to fall off the cliff, which makes Yun Yu, who is observing from the dark, feel nervous, for fear that he will really fall down by accident and all previous efforts will be wasted.

Just as Shen Wuhuo stepped on another step, the stone on that step cracked and split open suddenly.

Shen Wuhuo's feet were empty, and he was about to fall off the cliff, but he saw that he grabbed a vine on the cliff with his hand, and stood on his heels.

Seeing that Shen Wuhuo finally stood firm, the heart that Yun Yu raised just now finally fell to the ground, but what he saw immediately made his eyes widen suddenly.

On the cliff directly above Shen Wuhuo, a huge boulder the size of three people holding each other broke away from the cliff and slammed down on him!

At this time, the sky was dark, there was no light at all, it was raining, and the mountain road was slippery. Shen Wuhuo seemed unaware of the upcoming danger.
