Chapter 25: Spiritual Roots Defeat People
Ye Xingzhou couldn't understand one thing.
There were clearly enough opportunities to kill the opponent.
But at this moment, if someone suddenly comes in and says "wait a minute", they will really stop obediently.
Why stop?
Doesn't this reveal your own flaws?
He was not focused when killing people, so he deserved to be killed in return.
Just like at this moment, Fang Rong and his group were chased by bees and fled in panic.
He had found this bee specifically for Fang Rong. It was non-venomous but its sting was extremely painful.
Bees are most effective against monks. They start from zero frame, attack in groups, and have a very wide attack range, but they are easy to be injured by mistake.
Ren Wangzhu was lying on the ground and couldn't get up because of his injury. He was hit on the forehead.
He curled up, his consciousness drowsy.
In a trance, a person walked towards him against the afterglow of the setting sun. Even though the face was blurry, Ren Wangzhu still recognized him.
"Brother, I'm... in pain..."
Ren Wangzhu looked at the birthday boy with a bump on his forehead, which made him look pitiful yet a little funny.
"Brother, I know you're in pain, but please don't be hurt for now."
Ye Xingzhou stuffed a Yuan-boosting pill into Ren Wangzhu's mouth. If he delayed for a while, Fang Rong would come back.
He carried Ren Wangzhu and shuttled through the forest.
This place is close to the water and many spiritual beasts gather here. It is very dangerous at night and it is not advisable to stay here for long.
When Ye Xingzhou was running and sweating profusely, he finally found the place where the Lingxi group was resting.
The second-level Lingxi's sense of smell is not very sensitive, but because Lingxi live in groups and are very large, cultivators basically will not choose to provoke them.
If you get angry, a large group of Lingxi will rush over and trample you into a meat patty.
Resting near the Lingxi group is much safer than anywhere else.
Ye Xingzhou chose a relatively sturdy tree as a temporary resting place.
After Ren Wangzhu took the Buyuan Pill, his internal injuries had mostly recovered, but the bump on his forehead hadn't gone away yet.
"Brother, I almost didn't see you."
When Ren Wangzhu saw Ye Xingzhou, it was like a child seeing his mother, he finally had someone to rely on.
"Here we are." Ye Xingzhou patted his shoulder to comfort him.
Ren Wangzhu's eyes were red, and he wanted to lean his head on Ye Xingzhou's shoulder, but as soon as he lowered his head, he felt a sharp pain in his forehead.
“Ouch!”
Ren Wangzhu covered his forehead and when he touched the big bulge, his eyes showed confusion.
"Brother, I remember my forehead wasn't injured just now."
"Junior brother, your memory must be confused. Your forehead was swollen when I saw you."
Ye Xingzhou lied without blushing or beating his heart.
"Is that so?" Ren Wangzhu was still a little uncertain.
"Of course, Senior Brother won't lie to you."
"Oh, then I remembered it wrong."
Ren Wangzhu touched the lump on his forehead and was wincing in pain, but this did not stop him from opening up and pouring out his grievances.
"Brother, you don't know how I have been spending this time."
"That night, after Elder Xuan refined the elixir for me, I was supposed to be back the next day."
"But Elder Xuan said the herb garden was still in need of a boy to water it, so I went to help. But the spirit bird guarding the herb garden was really bad. It took my jade slip and fed it to the spirit pig."
"When I was chasing it, I accidentally stepped on a spiritual herb, so Elder Xuan punished me by making me sweep the spiritual beast enclosure. I shoveled spiritual beast feces for three days before Elder Xuan allowed me to return for the assessment."
Having said that, Ren Wangzhu took out a jade slip wrapped in cloth from his storage bag with a miserable look on his face.
Ye Xingzhou's eyelids twitched and he moved back a little.
"So you picked up this jade slip after the pig was pooped out?"
Ren Wangzhu nodded, "Brother, I heard you sending me spiritual messages those days. I couldn't reply, so I could only wait for the pig to poop out."
Some things don't need to be explained so clearly.
Ye Xingzhou would automatically add a label to Ren Wangzhu.
The boy who smells like pig manure.
"Senior brother, do you dislike me?" Ren Wangzhu looked up pitifully.
Isn't this a question you already know the answer to?
"Junior brother, you think too much."
"Really?" Ren Wangzhu was a little disappointed. "But when I entered the secret realm yesterday, I saw you and Meng Zhi together. I waved to you, but you didn't seem to see me."
"Also, Senior Brother, why do you keep tilting your head and looking at me sideways?"
Finally, the question was asked.
"Now that things have come to this, I won't hide it from you anymore."
Ye Xingzhou slowly turned his head.
The face is still the same face, but the eyes are no longer the same eyes.
Those forked eyes held an indescribable charm, like a glimpse from the depths of the soul.
Because you can never meet those eyes head-on.
Ren Wangzhu's cerebellum shrank for a moment.
"Brother, this...your eyes..."
"It's just a minor injury, I'll recover in a few days."
Ye Xingzhou spoke nonchalantly and took out two bowls of steaming rice from his storage bag.
"You must be hungry. This is specially reserved for you by my senior brother."
The boy's grievances from the night disappeared when he saw the food.
His eyes were bright, as dazzling as the stars in the sky.
The two of them sat on a thick branch, each holding a bowl of rice, bathing in the moonlight and feasting on it.
Ren Wangzhu: "Brother, you are so kind to me. I don't know how to repay you."
Ye Xingzhou ate his rice and said, "If you want to repay me, then practice hard and protect me when you are strong enough."
Ren Wangzhu: "But didn't you tell me to hold the last position before?"
"That's actually how Senior Brother motivates you."
Ye Xingzhou added a chicken leg to Ren Wangzhu's bowl.
"Brother, I see that you are born with a rich and noble destiny. You will achieve great things in the future. Now what you need is to practice, and practice hard."
Ren Wangzhu was stunned when he heard this, "But Senior Brother, I was born with a defective spiritual root, so I am not suitable for cultivation."
"That's because your spiritual roots are against you."
"what do I do?"
"Eat more to grow taller, practice well, and kill this spiritual root."
This makes sense, but also seems unreasonable.
But it still sounds much better than being born with incomplete spiritual roots.
Ren Wangzhu nodded in agreement, "Then I will practice hard in the future to kill this spiritual root."
Ye Xingzhou looked up and asked, "Did you see the first name?"
"I see, the first place is Jianfeng's outer disciple Lu Yue."
"You will definitely surpass him in the future."

"Linggen Keren?"
Zuo Chunhui held his chin and looked at the image reflected in the Shuiyue Mirror with interest.
"I missed a great show when I left just now."
There were two meanings in his words, and the three elders who had just been driven away by anger could not fail to hear them.
However, now Elder Sun's old face was full of smiles, and he sat in his seat leisurely and contentedly.
Lu Yue was at the middle stage of foundation building and was the outer disciple that Elder Sun was most optimistic about. Ye Xingzhou's words were nothing but wishful thinking.
"Junior Brother Xiao, you've taught this disciple so well. Looking at the rankings at night is so convenient for dreaming."
What I mean is, daydream less.
Elder Sha joined the sarcastic group, "Junior Brother Xiao, this is the first time in my life that I've heard of spiritual roots being able to defeat others. Why does this spiritual root only defeat Ren Wangzhu and not others? Shouldn't he look for the reason within himself?"
Elder Qi chose to remain silent this time.
After everyone finished speaking, Xiao Ping spoke calmly.
"It's normal for children to be passionate and energetic since they are young."
"But Elder Sun and Elder Sha, you two are already half buried in the ground. Your quarrels are making a fool of yourself for the younger generation."
Xiao Ping locked his gaze on Elder Qi, "Elder Qi, am I right?"
“…”Don’t cue me!
