Picking up cubs and cultivating immortality: Sect disciples can all read minds

Chapter 8 Detecting the Tianling Root

"Hmph, what is this not a daydream? Do you think the Chong family is a vegetarian paper tiger?! Do you think the ancestor of the Chong family is a hard worker?!"

"Don't count on me, I only have a little pressure to use."

Jisha said a few words of "the truth" and was forced to turn off the microphone.

"Master, what do you think?"

Jing Xi touched his chin and took out a recording stone from the universe space, "The Zhong family has become one of the four major families by sucking the blood of the Yue family. There must be some people in Chongshan City who are dissatisfied, right?"

Zhongjun blinked, "Master, what do you mean?"

Jing Xi said word by word: "The mantis stalks the cicada, and the oriole follows behind."

For more than ten days in a row, Jingxi and three people stayed in the courtyard. Zhongjun and Jisha never left the courtyard, but Jingxi went out of Zhong's house from time to time and took a walk outside.

The head of the Chong family once came to visit, but Jing Xi sent him off tactfully without saying a few words.

In the past ten days, Ji Sha has been teaching Zhongjun how to practice, and Jing Xi followed suit. Ji Sha is really a treasured old man, and the dignified demon master is actually a spiritual and demon practitioner.

Ji Sha shook his head. It was thanks to the fact that he had been a spy in the Southern Continent for decades and had practiced spiritual power. Otherwise, he would have been killed by that turtle son and he would have died long ago.

After Jisha's strict guidance, half a month later, Zhongjun reached the second level of Qi Refining, while Jingxi reached the fourth level of Foundation Establishment, improving his skills by a few degrees.

She had been suppressed by the old thief Wen Tian for more than ten years. Her meridians were blocked and she needed some time to recover.

When Jing Xi went out again, she heard rumors in the streets. At that time, she was selecting elixirs in the alchemy hall, whether it was Xuanjie or Huangjie. Give her a bottle of low-grade yellow-grade blood-coagulating pill as a gift.

"Go to the Chong Mansion to settle the bill." Jing Xi put away the elixirs and asked casually about what happened recently, "Brother, what happened recently? Why are the streets and alleys talking about the Chong family?"

The boy opened his mouth to answer, but suddenly realized that the rounder in front of him was also a member of the Chong family, and he swallowed the words he was about to blurt out.

Seeing this, Jing Xi knocked on the counter twice, "But what about the Zhong family? Then you have to tell me. Although my disciple is the eldest son of the Zhong family, in the Chong family... sigh!"

Although the words were not finished, the word "alas" conveyed all the sadness and grievances.

The young man knew that the big family had no family ties, but this was the first time he saw his eldest son in such a miserable condition. At this time, his sense of justice was overwhelming, and he told Jing Xi the whole story.

The rumor is nothing more than that the Zhong family were the murderers who wiped out the Yue family, and then embezzled the Yue family's property, denying the only bloodline of the Yue family a spiritual stone.

The common people are most enthusiastic about this kind of big family anecdotes. They have been discussing it very enthusiastically recently, and even their daily greetings have changed from "Have you eaten?" to "Have you heard?"

Not bad, not bad. Jing Xi was very satisfied with the effect. The Lu family did not disappoint her.

Even a big family like the Zhong family will be burdened by rumors. The head of the Zhong family asked people to investigate, but only a few small fish and shrimps were found. The person behind the scenes has been missing for a long time.

But he has several suspects, none of them are his opponents, and the Lu family is the most suspect.

Mrs. Zhong once reminded Patriarch Zhong that it might be a rumor spread by Jing Xi, but Patriarch Zhong denied it. He felt that Jing Xi was not capable.

Very well, he was the first to eliminate the mastermind behind the scenes.

This is not the biggest headache for the head of the Zhong family. Half a month later, the sect will recruit new disciples in Chongshan City. This is the first time for the Zhong family to hold such a grand event. He has no experience or help from his predecessors.

The four major sects recruit new disciples every four years, and the recruitment location is in the city where the four major families are located. In other words, the four major families take turns to host.

This time it was originally held by the Yue family, but the Yue family was wiped out, and the right to host the event fell into the hands of the Chong family.Although the original four major families had competition, they cherished each other. After the Yue family was wiped out, they looked down upon the Chong family who took the opportunity to suck the blood of the Yue family and join the four major families.

So this time to recruit new disciples, the other three families strictly abide by the rules and do not go there for a second in advance. They are afraid that the Chong family will look at them and ask for advice on the rules, but they don't want to teach them at all.

It's not a big deal if anything goes wrong in the recruitment ceremony. The head of the Zhong family is just afraid that the four major sects will criticize their Zhong family.

But after a few days, the head of the Zhong family was no longer worried. His old face was full of spring breeze. For those who didn't know, they thought he was going to marry a new wife recently.

There was a special person delivering meals to the courtyard where Jing Xi lived, and she found out as soon as she inquired.

It turned out that Patriarch Zhong had tested Zhong Yue’s spiritual roots in advance, and the result was Tianlinggen. Tianlinggen was always being sought after wherever it was found. No wonder Patriarch Zhong was happy.

The head of the Chong family celebrated Chong Yue with great fanfare, and even invited Jing Xi and three others, but they didn't go.

Ji Sha curled his lips disdainfully, "It's nothing to measure the Tianling Root. It's powerful if you can cultivate it."

Jing Xi agreed, but she was confused, "By the way, what do they use to measure spiritual roots? Aren't only the four major sects in the Southern Territory equipped with spirit measuring balls to measure spiritual roots?"

Hearing Jing Xi's words, Ji Sha felt extremely resentful. What are you pretending to be? Didn't you ask me to give away the spirit measuring ball design?

Alas, one more treasure is missing from his collection!
Chongjun looked at Jingxi and then at Jisha, always feeling that they were hiding something from him.

Jing Xi rubbed Zhongjun's little head, "Practice hard and don't get involved in this matter."

Chongjun is a member of the Chong family, and there are some things that he is inconvenient to participate in.

Chongjun understood what Jing Xi meant, so he stopped interfering and went to another room to concentrate on practicing.

After Chongjun left, Ji Sha said lazily: "I value Zhongjun and don't care about the Chong family. Why not let him participate? Sooner or later he will be stained with blood. You can't treat him like a flower in the greenhouse."

I think he started killing people when he was three years old. The first person he killed was the nanny who had taken care of him since he was a child.

Jing Xi said seriously, "It's not that he shouldn't be stained with blood, but that he can't be stained with the blood of his relatives."

Heaven has its own rules. If Zhongjun is contaminated with the lives of his relatives, Jie Lei will be sad when he goes through the tribulation.

"You should think about him," Ji Sha said in a sour tone, "I'm a bad old man and I don't deserve your care. Let me, a late-stage foundation-building monk, do such dangerous things."

Jing Xi glanced at him, "Aren't you a devil?"

Ji Sha choked and said something like, "A good man doesn't mention how brave he was."

It is said that Jisha was also present when he was testing the spiritual roots again, but he was just on the roof.

He knew a secret technique that could use the spiritual roots of children under seven years old for his own use. He thought that Double Leap was such a good spiritual root, but he didn't expect that it was a top-grade double spiritual root.

Ji Sha didn't take a fancy to it, and by the way, the spirit-detecting ball revealed its heavenly spirit root, and the Zhong family was overjoyed.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day for the sect to recruit new disciples. The four major sects in the Southern Region were respected, and the four major families were weaker than the sects.

The recruitment was held in the central square of Chongshan City. The square was crowded with people. Parents brought their children over five and under ten years old, hoping that their children would test their spiritual roots and join the four major sects.
