Chapter 258 Chapter 258 Top-grade spiritual roots, entering the Tao!

The light was so bright that it was hard to open one's eyes even in the daytime.

The elders and peak masters who had vowed so confidently were all stunned.

Xuanyun Sect's leader, Jin Wei, who had been maintaining an indifferent attitude, also stood up at this moment and stared at the cub standing on the test bench.

They all felt the cold wind blowing from here.

"Oh My God--"

Gu Yin, who was standing next to him, was stunned.

Cheng Hanqiu let out a light "tsk" sound.

He finally realized that the little guy came from a place with thin spiritual energy. In just ten days, he changed from a dusty little thing to this spiritual guy.

Although the spiritual energy around him felt weaker than that of Yu Ming at this moment.

But this was something he had condensed in less than ten days here.

Two days later, without any test, he had already entered the Tao.

"A little trouble."

He should have thought about it. Could the little thing brought by Tiandao be so simple?

The clouds in the sky are rolling happily.

Tiandao: It said it all along! Hahaha! Look, the treasure he snatched back is incredible! Immortals! Ancient Immortals!! This can't be changed by the tricks of those weird little bugs peeking out of the cracks!

These are the immortals that were snatched back with real intent!

You must be so angry, aren’t you?

Let me ask you, are you pissed off?!

Restricted by the rules and suppressed by the so-called book spirit for too long, the Heavenly Dao struggled for a long time, and finally defeated all the sons of luck in his own world. Even the luck of his own world was taken away by those things. The Heavenly Dao was a little abnormal.

When Cheng Hanqiu realized that the cub had condensed such spiritual power in less than ten days here, he turned his head to pay attention to Yu Feng.

Sure enough, he found that Yu Feng's face suddenly turned gloomy.

The disguised gentleness was completely shattered at this moment, revealing his cruel and jealous true nature.

Yu Feng's hand was already unconsciously rubbing the hilt of the sword.

It’s just that because everyone around was focused on the little cub, no one noticed Yu Feng’s reaction at all.

Cheng Hanqiu stood up straight involuntarily, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Although he always felt that the little guy was a little trouble.

But it's not someone else's turn to cause trouble.

Not to mention——

The little guy was obviously being targeted by Yu Feng.

The guy who just hides his ugly and jealous inner self behind a gentle facade.

All those talented people of his generation who were once the pride of the world perished one after another under such gazes, not to mention himself, who was no longer able to mobilize his spiritual power to wield the sword.

But there is one sad thing.

Apart from Dan Feng, because of the other party's rapid growth, no one would go against Cheng Hanqiu.

There's no place to put this little guy.

Cheng Hanqiu clearly realized this.

"...a single mutated ice spirit root."

The selection elder had never seen such a light before. He repeated it again in a whisper, watching the light fill the entire test stone.

The clear sky seemed to be covered by clouds, and the spiritual energy surrounding him was drawn out and changed by his spiritual roots, gradually taking on an icy attribute. In this hot weather, it seemed as if snow was about to fall.

"Grade...top grade."

The lowest level is a top-grade one, and the highest level is a height that has never been seen in the world of immortal cultivation.

“Oh my God—”

Finally, one of the elders and peak masters broke the silence.

They gasped.

"Isn't it my eyes that are blurring my vision?"

"What a great seedling this is—at this level, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say his cultivation progresses by leaps and bounds, right? Yu Feng and Junior Brother Cheng have top-grade spiritual roots, and both are within the first hundred years of reaching the Nascent Soul stage. This means there's probably going to be a Nascent Soul powerhouse within the next fifty years, right?!"

Isn’t this a bit too scary?

“This, this—”

Jin Wei took two steps forward.

"Junior brother, you had an epiphany at Danfeng a few days ago. I looked at the sect records and saw that Yan Ning had just come up the mountain at that time?"

Because the little guy was sent by the Heavenly Dao, his origins are unknown after all. Now his talent is already shocking to this extent. If you add the Heavenly Dao, there is no need to think about anything else. The cultivator's pursuit of the Heavenly Dao is unimaginable to many people, so Cheng Hanqiu concealed it without any hesitation.

Before they were targeted, Cheng Hanqiu asked Gu Yin to take care of everything.

Everyone couldn't help but look over, with surprise and doubt in their eyes.

indeed--

Cheng Hanqiu has wasted so many years at Danfeng, how could he suddenly have an epiphany so easily?

Something must have changed.

If anything has changed, it's that—

All the monks turned their eyes to the little cub standing in front of the testing stone.

Yan Ning has already withdrawn her hand.

He stood where he was and subconsciously looked in the direction of his father.

Such talent, such aura——

Why do many monks compete to accept a disciple with outstanding talent?

In addition to being able to pass on everything you have, there is another very important point.

At this time, most of the cultivators have reached a stagnation point in their cultivation and need some changes to stimulate their practice.

The sudden enlightenment brought about by some gifted children may also allow their teachers to glimpse a hint of the secret.

Before Cheng Hanqiu's inspiration, many peak masters had been trying to determine what kind of opportunity the other party had, but now it seemed that it was obviously his child.

"Yes, so what?"

Cheng Hanqiu flashed over and came to the testing platform. He stretched out his hand and held the little cub, who was still standing firm and somewhat pretending in front of people, in his arms.

Little Yan Ning was still tilting her little head back.

Anyway, everything that should be exposed has been exposed. If you don’t show off after winning, it’s the same as not winning!

The little guy thought so and worked harder.

But the originally peaceful atmosphere around had become tense.

Someone couldn't help but speak first.

"Junior Brother Cheng, pardon my bluntness, but alchemy practitioners must have fire and wood spiritual roots, or spiritual roots derived from these two types. For example, your thunder and ice spiritual roots are completely unrelated, right? Even if he is your biological child, wouldn't it be inappropriate for him to be in Danfeng? We have a Frost Long Sword on the top floor of our Blade Peak Weapon Pavilion. It is a growth-type magical weapon left by our master. How about this, you let Yan Ning join our peak, and our peak will definitely pour all our resources into him, let him inherit the master's magical weapon, and take care of Danfeng. What do you think?"

Dao Feng is not a low-key person in the entire Xuanyun Sect.

If the sword cultivators are aloof and cold chivalrous men, then the blade cultivators are a group of righteous men with boiling blood.

They don't really care about the affairs within the sect, but they are also Jianfeng's subordinates, and their power and status are second only to Jianfeng. They can say such things, which is just short of saying that if you are willing to send your child to us, then we will go against Jianfeng.

"No, Master Zhang, what are you trying to steal? I haven't even spoken yet. Besides, you're not close to Danfeng, but we at Yuwufeng are. Besides, it's just like who doesn't have the magical instruments left by our master. We can achieve the same conditions, but we have to double them! Besides, sword cultivation is so difficult. Those sword techniques are all rough and unrestrained. Look at Yan Ning's appearance. Do you think it's suitable? Practicing these is not as powerful and easy as our peak."

"Oh, no, how did you snatch it? If that's the case, then we have to talk about our Yinfeng..."

The surrounding peak masters and elders were in chaos.

Yu Ming, who had been standing aside with an arrogant air, could not hide his emotions even more than his brother.

He stood there in disbelief. At such a young age, he had no idea what his family had taught him, but he actually showed such viciousness.

"Impossible! This is impossible! I should be the most powerful—"

Every year, his elder brother would send marrow cleansing pills to the family, and he had been cleansing his bones, muscles, and blood vessels since he was a child, all for this day!

Medium-grade dual spiritual roots are already an excellent talent, and many large immortal cultivation clans have only one or two in decades.

With so many pills, how could he be the one making them for others?

Cheng Hanqiu listened to them arguing.

A little impatient.

What a bunch of idiots, where does all this drama come from?

He thought to himself, and then his sleeve was pulled.

Um?

Cheng Hanqiu lowered his head.

Seeing that the little coward who was still pretending to be so powerful was a little panicked, he asked Cheng Hanqiu in a low voice.

"Dad, you won't abandon Ningning, right?"

He puffed out his chest again.

"Ningning is very powerful. If Ningning were even more powerful, Ningning could protect Daddy. Ningning could find medicine for Daddy and heal his tendons and veins."

For children like Yan Ning.

I've seen enough hypocrisy.

Cheng Hanqiu's behavior actually made him feel at ease.

After all, no one cared about what Ningning was afraid of before. Although she was unwilling, she still accompanied Ningning to sleep every day, taught Ningning to write, and read stories to Ningning.

Even though they had only been together for a short time, Xiao Yanning could clearly sense that beneath her father's prickly exterior was a soft heart.

So - the ending shouldn't be like this.

He could be of much more use, if he was only careful not to be discovered.

Cheng Hanqiu, who was holding the cub, lowered his eyes and looked at the cub. He didn't know what the little guy was thinking.

But hearing words like protection and finding medicine can’t help but feel a bit funny.

little things.

Cheng Hanqiu looked at him for a while, then patted the head of Yan Ning, the little coward who was trying hard to show how powerful he was.

"no."

Then, the old man spoke slowly and leisurely.

"My child, I'm not even dead yet, how can I let you raise him? How did you distance yourself from me in the beginning, and how are you 'working closely together' now? I know it all in my heart. Don't make me laugh, ha."

Cheng Hanqiu seemed to be aiming to piss people off the moment he opened his mouth.

In the place where people were arguing, as soon as he finished speaking, a group of people shut up awkwardly.

In fact, it wasn't too long ago that what happened back then happened. Everyone remembered that Cheng Hanqiu had made friends with his brother Tongmo, who had the blood of the demon clan. Cheng Hanqiu defended him, saying that he was about to defeat the demon clan bloodline and recast his flesh and blood, but there was a small accident. Yu Feng was righteous and led the new generation of disciples to fight.

The former pride of the world was killed, and Cheng Hanqiu was also seriously injured by Yu Feng's magic weapon because of his distraction. Afterwards, fearing that he would resist, he hit him a little harder. Unexpectedly, the magic weapon destroyed all his meridians, and his cultivation regressed by a thousand miles. He retreated to the early stage of the Nascent Soul and was still shaky, with cracks appearing on his Nascent Soul.

No matter what, even if it was an accident, that person was a demon cultivator. Coupled with Cheng Hanqiu's resistance, everyone was more or less used to such a favored child of heaven having smooth sailing, and thought that he needed to learn a lesson. Unexpectedly, the lesson was so profound. Coupled with Yu Feng's strong rise, most of the Xuanyun Sect disciples drew a clear line with him. If it weren't for the intervention of the Danfeng Patriarch, before the order to expel Cheng Hanqiu from Jianfeng was issued, Cheng Hanqiu was allowed to convert to Danfeng and stabilize his realm, it is still unknown what Cheng Hanqiu would be like now.

These things are just a long time ago, they are not really over.

A group of people looked at each other with embarrassed expressions. They felt that they had done nothing wrong, but they were indeed too embarrassed to talk about stealing the cub from Cheng Hanqiu's family.

However, it is indeed not suitable for Ice Spirit Root to be in Danfeng.

"Ice Spiritual Roots are not suitable for Dan Cultivation."

Finally, Jin Wei, who had been staring at Yan Ning, spoke.

"Logically speaking, the most suitable person is a sword cultivator."

Yu Feng on the other side finally came back to his senses. Seeing that no one around was paying attention to him, he quickly adjusted his expression and put on his gentle and gentlemanly demeanor again.

"Yes, Uncle Cheng, if we were to ask where the Ice Spiritual Root is most suitable, it would definitely be Jianfeng. Although we had a rift before, Uncle Cheng should also know that we are all responsible and we are acting according to the plan. From the first time I saw this child, I felt that we were destined to be together—"

"Ningning doesn't want to have a bad relationship."

Little Yan Ning was lying in her father's arms and spoke immediately after hearing this.

Then the little fellow who was chattering was pressed down by his father with one hand.

Yu Feng froze again.

He found that the little guy was very malicious towards him.

It was like he was also uncomfortable looking at the little guy.

Basically, every time he said something, the little guy would retort.

He has a cute face but does a lot of tricky things.

To this day, Yu Feng still feels a little unreal.

This is just a world of books. These guys are just stepping stones for him to reach the highest point. They are nothing at all. Even the slightest obstacle should be crushed by him.

Everything is just a foil for him. Just as the book spirit said, he will become the Immortal King. This journey is just the rise process of stepping on the natives to upgrade, which is a process that readers love to see.

He is the protagonist with the golden finger, the one chosen by fate.

When Yu Feng first came here

When facing a group of chosen ones, he did not feel discouraged at all, but felt it was a challenge. He just wanted to pull these people down one by one. In the past, the names of these immortals were sung everywhere in the Thirteen States, and one day it would be him, Yu Feng, who would become famous.

He doesn't care about the saying that there are always people better than you.

He did it.

But finally, at this moment, facing Yan Ning's talent.

He had a feeling of fear.

Is it possible for a normal person to have such a talent?

If this kid is not eliminated, he will become a big trouble!

But he has already become famous in front of all the peak masters. He is only in the late Nascent Soul stage. Facing the entire Xuanyun Sect, he still overestimates his capabilities and cannot act rashly.

But it doesn’t matter—

He convinced himself that as long as he could find a reason—

As long as he could find some excuses as before and find some loopholes that they had not noticed, just like before, everything would go as he wished.

It would be best if he could become his disciple, but if not, he is not completely helpless.

After all, he is a book traveler, so he is much higher than these two-dimensional creatures.

But it was beyond Yu Feng's expectations.

He originally thought that Jin Wei spoke to him in order to reason with him so that he would accept Yan Ning.

After all, Jin Wei also said that he only had a few disciples, and Yu Ming should be the last one. He released the news early on that Yu Ming would be his last disciple.

But at this moment, Jin Wei looked at Yan Ning carefully.

"Junior brother, Danfeng's resources are scarce, and it's not suitable for ice spirit root cultivation. The past is like smoke and dust. This concerns our personal future. It's better for us not to fight violently over the past."

Jin Wei seemed to be pondering the tricky situation before him.

"If you are worried about Yu Feng, I can accept Yan Ning as my last disciple and train with him alone. What do you think, Junior Brother?"

Jin Wei felt that he had been fair and just as the head of the sect for hundreds of years.

When his disciples were fighting, he also carefully assessed the situation with several elders, and finally determined that the problem was on Cheng Hanqiu's side. Over the years, he has become his junior brother, and the two sides have never had any contact, so he should have thought it through clearly.

"I'm not staying here to listen to your nonsense."

Cheng Hanqiu had been waiting for the record book to appear, but this group of people kept chattering, and he couldn't wait any longer, so he called out softly.

"Gu Yin."

"Hey, Master, here I come."

Gu Yin was standing behind Cheng Hanqiu with a gentle smile on his face, but the bulging veins told them that his emotions were not so calm.

After receiving the order, he raised his hand and made a hand gesture.

The monk in dark green robes had his clothes flying as he drew talismans in the air using his spiritual power as paper.

Compared to alchemy, making talismans is Gu Yin's forte.

He did not hesitate at all, and his black hair flew up. The young man smiled and looked particularly kind.

"search--"

As soon as the words fell, the selection elder who had been waiting in the distance for the surrounding peak masters and elders to finish arguing felt that his spiritual power was being pried open.

The next moment, the jade slip in the storage bag flew out.

It fell directly into Cheng Hanqiu's hands.

The jade slip records the divisions and affiliations within the entire sect.

Cheng Hanqiu used his spiritual sense to open the jade slip without hesitation, found Danfeng, and directly engraved Yan Ning's name on it.

Everything is settled.

The little guy was still struggling in his arms, and little Yan Ning had been trying to poke her head out again since just now.

I don’t know what this little guy wants to say.

But Cheng Hanqiu remembered the important business, so he kept holding him down until he finished the important business before letting go.

The little guy jumped out like a little groundhog.

"If you don't understand, just ask. You are master and disciple, right? Why do you all have the same face? Aren't there many people like you over there?"

Why are they all so shameless and thick-skinned?

Ancient Yin: ...

High, really high

But if you keep talking, we might end up fighting.

Why is this little mouth chattering so much?

Okay, Gu Yin is completely sure.

So cute and well-behaved, that’s all appearance, a false appearance.

The little guy inside is covered in thorns.

and--

Gu Yin thought about it and couldn't help but look at Cheng Hanqiu.

Ah, this feeling of wanting to piss people off to death the moment I open my mouth.

You are indeed father and son.

The horses are exactly the same!!

“You you you you—”

The matter is now settled.

Several elders, who had no chance to say anything else, widened their eyes.

"This is truly outrageous! How could you—"

"What? Still want to start the siege?"

Cheng Hanqiu stood where he was, curled the corners of his lips, and casually threw the jade slip back into the arms of the selection elder.

"You can give it a try and see if I'm afraid of you."

His tendons and veins were damaged, but he was not a coward and was not unable to protect his cub.

Little Yan Ning looked up instantly and listened to her father's words.

The little guy doesn't know what is right and who is wrong.

But he knew that it couldn't be Daddy's problem today.

He had no intention of leaving his father, but this group of people surrounded him and kept chattering.

Although that earnest expression was not as hypocritical as those he had seen before, Yan Ning did not like it.

And since it’s not Daddy’s fault today.

Then why should we judge that it was Daddy’s fault in the past?

Was it like this before?

As isolated and helpless as Ningning.

The cub stretched out his little hands and hugged his father's neck.

Cheng Hanqiu was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head to meet those big eyes with distinct black and white.

"Daddy, Ningning, help Daddy and tell them—"

Just don’t leave Ningning here alone, she’ll be very fierce!

As he spoke, the little cub turned around and waved his little fists fiercely.

“Alright, alright—”

Several peak masters came out to smooth things over.

"What are you trying to steal from others?"

"His talent is very strong, but he needs to slowly comprehend it later. We are not doing this to the benefit of the sect's disciples' growth. It's been many years since the past, so let's not hurt the relationship anymore."

That was all they could do to make peace.

And it actually makes sense.

After all, although Xiao Yan Ning is of a very high grade and has only a single spiritual root, the problem still exists. The spiritual energy around him is similar to that around Yu Ming.

A top-grade ice spiritual root, at the same age, has condensed the same spiritual energy as a medium-grade double spiritual root.

There must be something wrong.

There is no need to fight like this.

To be honest, I have been fighting for it until now mostly because I was dazzled by the sudden enlightenment and the top-grade spiritual roots that soared into the sky.

There's no need to argue with other parents about this.

Who knows what is going on.

Let’s look at the entry first.

Several more rational elders thought so.

Of course, the main purpose is to ease the current tense atmosphere.

And no one noticed that the box floating in the air, which Yu Feng used as a prize, had been vibrating continuously since just now, and the vibration reached its peak when the little cub waved its arms.

With a click—

The wooden box outside was broken.

The icy brush stood in mid-air, paused for a moment, and then flew towards Yan Ning while attracting everyone's attention.

"Nephew! That's not what you brought back from the secret realm—"

Someone said something.

Most people around were confused.

After all, from what we saw just now, the brush didn't look any different.

The brush flew over so fast that Cheng Hanqiu had finished his work and was about to leave with the cub, but he didn't even raise his eyelids at this moment.

Cheng Hanqiu caught the brush red-handed.

"What?"

The small ice-blue brush swayed wildly from side to side. It didn’t look like a brush at all, but more like a cricket pupa. Let go, let go! I’ve found my ideal owner! Let me go!

The fluctuation of spiritual power made the originally ordinary brush suddenly more lively.

It’s as if such a magical instrument has given birth to a spirit.

Then the brush suddenly shrank, and it flew out of Cheng Hanqiu's hand and flew to the cub.

The spiritual energy it carries throughout its body causes the spiritual energy around the cub to begin to flow rapidly.

Yan Ning still didn't understand what was happening.

He just felt that the cool air brought by the small brush in front of him made him feel very comfortable.

"Daddy."

He spoke subconsciously.

He looked at Cheng Hanqiu with trust in his big round eyes.

Cheng Hanqiu looked at the brush and exclaimed.

"Take it."

The cub reached out and grasped the small brush that shrank automatically.

The mini brush seemed to be tailor-made for the cub.

Yan Ning subconsciously tried it in the air to see if it was convenient.

But there is a very important problem - the spiritual energy in the world he lived in back then was weak, so it was not obvious.

And now, in this world of cultivation with abundant spiritual energy, it is the beginning of its heyday.

What kind of dimensionality reduction attack can a descendant of an ancient immortal clan bring - now we can see it.

The cub subconsciously thought about the sentences Cheng Hanqiu taught him.

He just moved around tentatively in the air and wrote the word "Tao", and the rest of the sentence was not yet completed.

He only heard a very soft clicking sound.

The spiritual energy around him began to circulate.

A hint of frost formed at the tip of his brush.

“No way…”

Someone exclaimed in disbelief.

This person actually entered the Tao on the spot!
