Chapter 300: First test of spiritual roots, a big surprise! (10,000 words updated)

"Where are you from, fellow Taoist?"

On the flying boat, Qian Qiancheng came to Gu Dan and asked.

"I am Kong Di. I came from Shu after hearing about the immortals in the Buzhou Mountains."

Gu Dan said casually.

When he went up the mountain, he took the opportunity to ask Lao Wang which country's master had joined Ningfang recently.

Naturally, he picked a country where he had briefly stopped on the road and where no master had come for decades, as his "birthplace".

"Shu Kingdom? I haven't seen anyone from there in many years."

Qian Qiancheng smiled and said, "Since you have cultivated to the level of a Grandmaster, cultivating immortality is a common thing for you. I just wonder how old you are now?"

"Over sixty."

Gu Dan said.

It would take an ordinary person at least 40 to 50 years to cultivate to the level of a Grandmaster. It could take 60 to 70 years if it is slower. Adding the time for traveling, 60-something years is just the right time, as he is neither too old nor too old.

"That's really good. Even in the immortal way, you have a good chance of breaking through."

Qian Qiancheng's smile softened a little, and he took out a piece of talisman paper and handed it to Gu Dan, saying, "Meeting is fate. This is my communication talisman. If you want to buy or sell spiritual plants in the future, you can find me."

"Thank you very much, Brother Qian."

Gu Dan followed the local customs and put it away.

The speed of the spirit boat is not that fast, but it is a real flying journey.

Seeing the majestic Zhou Mountain, which seemed like a barrier of the sky and the limit of the earth, 'falling' beneath them like a surging river, the children on the flying boat were all dumbfounded, marveling at the might of the immortals.

It was so easy to do what they couldn't do no matter how hard they tried!

The children, who had just been severely bullied by the bad guys in the mortal world, immediately felt the grace and beauty of the immortal way. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were reluctant to leave.

"Children."

Qian Qiancheng waited until the children's minds were attracted by the flying trip before he finally spoke again. His voice became softer and more intimate. He said, "Next, I will take you to test the spirit stone. Although the immortal way is good, not everyone has the opportunity to practice in it. Only those who show a certain talent can have the honor of entering the immortal court.

Immortals and mortals have different paths. Once you step into the immortal court, you will be almost cut off from the mortal world. You will say goodbye to your past, family, and friends. Even so, do you still want to cultivate immortality?"

"want!"

The first child who climbed onto the platform had the most determined look on his face, but then he asked in a low voice: "If I really become an immortal, can I send something to my family?"

"The Immortal House is not that unkind."

Qian Qiancheng smiled and said, "Although you can't go down the mountain at will, you can ask someone to send some things."

"That's good, that's good."

The little guy patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh, if you want to be immortal, how can you still be attached to the mortal world? I can see that you are not determined enough."

Without the external crisis, the little guys began to rejoice, and someone immediately expressed his determination, "If I want to be able to cultivate immortality, I just need to practice diligently!"

Gu Dan could see that Qian Qiancheng's eyes turned slightly cold for a moment, and although they returned to their warm look in an instant, they undoubtedly marked the child.

Even if the immortal house has some despicable means, it does not want these children to be truly carefree and devote themselves to seeking the truth!

It’s quite interesting.

The flying boat didn't fly for too long and soon arrived at another platform.

This platform was a hundred feet in size, and there were already many children standing on it, as well as flying boats of similar sizes.

In the very center of this platform are five stones of similar shape, about half a person's height.

Judging from its colors, it should correspond to the five different kinds of spiritual energy: gold, wood, water, fire and earth.

"This is the test platform."

Qian Qiancheng pointed at the five spiritual stones and said, "This is the result of a huge investment by the Immortal House. According to the records in the immortal classics, the spiritual stones that were finally blended together have four lines on them. If the first line lights up, it means you have a low-grade spiritual root. If the second line lights up, it means you have a medium-grade spiritual root. And so on.

If none of the five spirit stones light up, it means you have no chance of becoming an immortal."

As he was speaking, Gu Dan saw a cultivator standing in front of the five spirit stones, making hand gestures with his fingers.

A child walked nervously to the central open space of the test stone, and suddenly the five-colored spirit stones bloomed with a dim light, and the five elements were born! Inside, five lines began to attack the scale on the fairy stone.

But unfortunately, the martial arts line just jumped up a little bit and then stopped, and it was still far from the first scale.

Just as Tao Shushan said at the beginning, everyone can practice cultivation in theory, but those who do not even have lower-grade spiritual roots will not achieve any results even if they work hard for their entire lives. Such people have no chance of becoming immortals.

"No immortal fate, next one."

The man who tested the qualifications said expressionlessly.

"Wow!"

The child standing in the middle of the Immortal Testing Stone immediately burst into tears.

But someone had already walked over with ease, picked him up, and threw him to the other side next to most of the children who were already distracted.

And further away, on a most luxurious, golden flying boat, there were only a few children, staying on it with great interest.

The children went up one after another very quickly, but they were all eliminated without a doubt.

On Qian Qiancheng's flying boat, the group of children who had just been enthusiastically discussing how to cultivate immortality were now beginning to tremble with fear.

Cultivating immortality is not something they can do just because they want to!

"There are only a few people who truly have the opportunity to cultivate immortality. Even if you are lucky enough to do so, you must seize this opportunity and not slack off for even a moment."

Qian Qiancheng warned: "Wait and line up."

After the children got off the flying boat one by one, Qian Qiancheng looked at Gu Dan and said, "Fellow Daoist, of course, you don't have to worry. Since you have been promoted to a Grandmaster, you are destined to be able to practice. I just don't know your aptitude."

"Among the Grandmasters, how many have superior spiritual roots?"

Gu Dan asked with some curiosity.

"Not even one."

Qian Qiancheng said while gasping for breath.

"Um?"

Gu Dan was surprised.

Although the number of masters is not large, as long as a country is not too weak, there will be at least two or three. For stronger countries, there will be seven or eight.

We have visited many countries along the way. This is just one of them. If all the masters from various countries were to gather together, there would probably be tens of thousands of people. How could there not be even one person with a top-grade spiritual root?

"Spiritual roots are hard to come by. And five-element spiritual roots are even harder to come by. Since every step is balanced, it is inevitable that it will be hard to stand out. Top-grade spiritual roots with all five elements are rarely recorded in immortal books, and one may not appear in a thousand or eight hundred years."

Qian Qiancheng said: "Among the Grandmasters, the vast majority have only low-grade spiritual roots, and those close to the middle grade are rare. Only one Grandmaster will appear among more than a thousand Grandmasters, which is very difficult. As a Grandmaster before, I'm afraid you must have stood at the top of the world. You have to bear this gap."

The master who was invincible in the mortal world, only barely passed the test of becoming an immortal.

This is undoubtedly a big blow to the masters who have been at the top for a long time.

But this does not include Gu worry.

Not to mention that he has spiritual roots, even if he doesn't, it doesn't mean that he has no chance of becoming an immortal. He is just a little bit slower.

"If an enemy comes, we will fight him; if a flood comes, we will block it with earth. As long as we can practice, there will always be a way."

Gu Dan said without changing his expression.

"It's great that Fellow Daoist Kong has such an idea."

Qian Qiancheng nodded in satisfaction, and then said, "Friend Kong, please follow me. You don't have to wait."

He brought Gu Dan to the Immortal Testing Stone and said to the monk guarding there, "Test the aptitude of this Taoist friend."

"yes."

Facing the expressionless monks of the children, he forced a smile to Gu Dan and even warned him, "Stand inside, spiritual energy will temporarily penetrate into your body, just don't resist."

It turns out that there are privileges in the immortal world too.

Gu Dan didn't mind this convenience and walked into the center of the Immortal Stone Testing Area.

The man made a gesture with his fingers, and the familiar hazy light rose up again.

Water blue, wood green, fire red, gold white, and khaki, the five colors converge at this moment and surge into Gu Dan's body.

It is soft and gentle, as if covering the body with gauze, or like soaking in a hot spring.

It actually makes people feel comfortable.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The five kinds of spiritual energy blended together, yet were clearly separated and continuously flowed through his body at a very fast speed.

As the five kinds of spiritual energy flowed in his body, the lines inside the five kinds of spiritual stones on the Immortal Test Platform began to rise together! Even though Gu Dan had seen many storms, he could not help but have a little hope at this time.

What if , what if he is the one in a million who cultivates the seven colors of Taoism, the one in a thousand who has all five elements and the highest-grade spiritual roots that are rarely seen in a thousand years? It's just a dream, don't shudder.

Finally, under Gu Dan's expectant gaze, the lines inside the five spirit stones finally leaped over the first scale on the fairy stone, and it can be said that they were moving forward in unison.

As the line just crossed the first scale.

“Ding~”

“Ding~”

“Ding~”

A series of five pleasant sounds echoed inside the fairy stone and then spread out, telling everyone the good news that another person who could practice the way of immortality had appeared here.

Many children have envy and anticipation on their faces, as if Gu Dan’s success has given them enough hope.

But Gu Dan was originally a master, and his lower-grade spiritual roots were not enough to make him excited. This was just the minimum for a master, so what was there to be particularly happy about? Upgrade me! Gu Dan stared at the lines inside the five immortal stones, where the progress had begun to slow down, and he couldn't help but urge them in his heart.

After the line crossed the mark of the first scale, the speed suddenly slowed down.

Even the lines inside the five spirit stones did not rise in absolutely parallel directions, but some rose at faster speeds and some at slower speeds.

The fastest one is the line inside the green spirit stone.

It can be seen with the naked eye that the speed exceeds the rest of the lines by a bar.

Under Gu Dan's extremely expectant gaze, when the line was about half the distance to the second scale, which was the middle-grade spiritual root, it suddenly froze there and did not move.

At the same time, the spiritual energy flowing in Gu Dan's body must also be withdrawn.

But at this moment, the Qingmu Liquid, which had always seemed extremely quiet and had almost never moved, suddenly bounced, as if trying to stop the spiritual energy that wanted to escape from his body.

Suddenly, the line in the green spirit stone rose sharply, and there was only a distance of two fingers left from the second scale.

Gu Dan was startled by this sudden situation, but he reacted very quickly and immediately controlled the Qingmu Liquid, so as to avoid causing any major chaos.

This small gap has not been noticed by anyone.

"Fellow Daoist Kong's wood attribute is almost the best, and is already somewhat close to a mid-grade spiritual root. This is already quite good, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is unique. It seems that fellow Daoist is more suitable for practicing wood-attributed exercises."

After walking down from the Immortal Test Platform, Qian Qiancheng came up and congratulated him.

The five elements spiritual roots, even if all five elements are present, does not mean that each one must be equal. It is normal to have some differences between the upper and lower ones. As long as the difference is not too big, they are all considered five elements spiritual roots.

Judging from the reactions of the five spirit stones on the trial platform, Gu Dan is most suitable for practicing wood-attributed skills, followed by water-attributed skills, and the worst is gold-attributed skills, lagging behind by a small margin.

If it is reflected in spiritual practice, after years of accumulation, it will be quite a big deal!

If you really want to practice a technique that encompasses all five elements, it is not impossible, but then it is no longer a matter of looking at your own strengths, but rather the limitations of your weaknesses.

"Hmm? Oh."

Gu Dan nodded, somewhat absentmindedly.

Qian Qiancheng had seen too much, so he consoled him: "The immortal path and the martial path are not connected. The immortal path is a fresh start. Taoist friends, don't be too nostalgic about the past. The immortal path is much longer than the martial path."

The talents of these masters in martial arts cannot all be converted into the way of immortality. For the masters who are used to it, this is naturally a big blow. They can't help but look depressed. It's all normal and they will accept it sooner or later.

But what was Gu Dan thinking about?

His entire mind was almost immersed in the green wood liquid.

Qingmu Liquid, the product of Qingmu Huasheng Jue.

It had swallowed up a full 50,000 years of his lifespan, giving him an extra incarnation within his body, and the Qingmu Liquid itself had made some progress.

That’s a lifespan of 50,000 years!

Even if it were a dog, it wouldn't be that bad if it could live for 50,000 years, right? Gu Dan once felt that he had been cheated.

He had also experimented several times to see if the Qingmu Liquid that had given him 50,000 years of life had any special effects.

Yes, there are some, but compared with before, they don’t seem to be that outstanding.

If we take into account the cost of 50,000 years of life, if it weren't for him, this deal would have been a huge loss. Even a real immortal would be heartbroken.

But now that things have come to this, Gu Dan has no choice but to accept it. What else can he do if he doesn't accept it?

I am lucky to have it! Just consider it as a free gift!

But now, on just the first day after arriving in the Buzhou Mountains, Gu Dan discovered that he was wrong.

It’s too small, the pattern is too small!

It's not that Qingmuye is not good, but he doesn't have the conditions to discover Qingmuye's other talents! The thousand-mile horse is used to pull goods, what can be done?

When the five elements of spiritual energy were about to be withdrawn from his body, the slight pulsation of the green wood liquid caused the lines inside the spiritual stone to jump up a bit! As a result, his wood attribute spiritual root had a large gap with the other spiritual roots, and it seemed to be the only one with the luck to be close to the middle-grade spiritual root.

But you have to know that the spiritual energy before had not yet been truly covered by the Qingmu Liquid.

Just passively stimulating it can have such an effect!

If he took the initiative to stimulate the Qingmu Liquid and used it as his own spiritual root, what kind of terrifying effect would it have? ! For Gu Dan, this was a great joy that came out of nowhere.

Good brother, I knew it!

You who dare to swallow up a lifespan of 50,000 years will definitely not let me down!

Fortunately, Gu Dan’s skill in maintaining his energy was very good, and he was still able to maintain his facial expression.

Moreover, there are too many people here and it is definitely not a suitable place to experiment with the true hidden abilities of Qingmu Liquid.

For now, I can only suppress my strong curiosity and wait for the test to end.

Children came forward one by one and were taken away one by one.

Only a very lucky few can summon the slight sound from inside the spirit stone.

For them, this is the sound of nature that truly determines their fate.

Finally, as Gu Dan was getting impatient, Qian Qiancheng took the children with spiritual roots onto the flying boat and said, "Let's go. I'll take you to the Immortal Court."
