Chapter 190 Lei Wuji: My beloved disciple is actually a three-spiritual root mutant thunder spiritual root

……

Same time period.

Jade Cliff.

The small garden managed by Chen Ningtai himself - Forget-Sorrow Garden.

As Chen Ningtai had more spare money, there were many more spiritual flowers and plants in this small garden, the spiritual carp in the spiritual pond became fatter, and the whole yard became more vibrant.

In the pavilion beside the spirit pond.

Chen Ningtai was sitting opposite a middle-aged man and politely made tea for him: "Master Lei, our Hedong County is not as rich as Zhongzhou and other places. We only have some coarse tea and local spiritual fruits. I hope you can forgive us."

The middle-aged man had a square face, his temples were slightly graying, and there was a deep "chuan" character wrinkle between his eyebrows. He looked particularly serious.

When he wasn't smiling, his majestic aura was already frightening enough. If he made a stern face and his eyes darkened, he would instantly look murderous and terrifying.

He is none other than the famous Purple Sky Thunder Peak Master of Yunyang Sect, Lei Wuji, who also presides over the sect's Law Enforcement Hall.

Listening to Chen Ningtai's polite words, he smiled slightly: "Master Ningtai is too polite. These spiritual teas are rare treasures. Lei usually can't bear to drink them."

After a few pleasantries, Lei Wuji couldn't hold back and went straight to the point: "By the way, can I meet the child in your family who is suspected to have thunder spiritual roots?"

No wonder he was anxious.

The number of mutated spiritual roots is already small, and the chance of successfully impacting the golden elixir is even less than that of three spiritual roots. It is common for inheritance to be interrupted.

Originally, there was another disciple with thunder spiritual roots in Zixiao Tianlei Peak - Lei Ze, who was Lei Wuji's disciple who had been carefully cultivated for many years. However, the child was either protected too well or was too naive by nature, and he was actually seduced by a spy from the Blood Soul Sect lurking in the Hundred Flowers Valley, and he even did something as heinous as intending to kill his fellow disciples.

Although subsequent investigation revealed that Lei Ze was just bewitched by the Blood Soul Cult spy, thinking that he was in love with that senior sister and that he and that senior sister were truly in love.

As for the other things, whether it was stealing the sect's secrets or attempting to kill his fellow disciples, he failed for various reasons and the consequences were not too serious. After being punished for several years, he was sent to a bitter and cold place to make amends for his crime.

Once he has made enough contributions, he will naturally be released.

But even so, he lost the qualification to inherit the Zixiao Tianlei Peak inheritance.

Therefore, over the years, Lei Wuji has been anxious to find a disciple with thunder spiritual roots, and has asked many people to ask around, but the number of children with thunder spiritual roots is too rare. It has been almost thirty years, and he still hasn't found even a single one with thunder spiritual roots.

This made Lei Wuji even more anxious.

You know, he is already 360 or 370 years old. With the life span of a Jindan stage, even if he finds a suitable successor right now, I'm afraid it's impossible to see him reach the Jindan stage.

Fortunately, the sky is endless.

Just when he was about to despair, he suddenly heard someone mention that the Chen family in Hedong had a child who was suspected to have thunder spiritual roots.

He originally wanted to come and take a look at the situation, but at the same time he received a letter of complaint from the Cui family of Hedong against the owner of Shuiyue Tower. So he decided to do two things at once, rushed to Hedong County as quickly as possible, and stopped the owner of Shuiyue Tower from getting deeper and deeper into trouble.

At this moment, he had detained the owner of Shuiyue Tower in the temporary command center of Tianjian Peak and had a preliminary understanding of the situation.

While the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall were busy investigating and verifying the intelligence they had obtained, he hurried to the Hedong Chen family, wanting to test the child's spiritual root qualifications.

If it really is a thunder spirit, he will find a way to take him in as his disciple no matter what.

Facing Lei Wuji's anxiety, Chen Ningtai was not in a hurry, and said in a gentle voice: "Master Lei, please rest assured. I have sent someone to bring Xin Lei's child here."

Seeing that the teacup in front of Lei Wuji was almost empty, he casually refilled Lei Wuji's tea and asked casually, "Come to think of it, Chen has not thanked Master Lei yet. If Master Lei had not arrived in time to stop the owner of Shuiyue Tower from doing evil, who knows what would have happened. By the way, has the matter of the owner of Shuiyue Tower been verified? How will he be dealt with in the future?"

Lei Wuji's expression became slightly serious.

Originally, he shouldn't have told Chen Ningtai about this, but he was not a fool. He had already guessed that the news about the child with thunder spiritual roots was deliberately released by Chen in order to lure him to come to Hedong County as quickly as possible to arrest the owner of Shuiyue Tower.

The mastermind behind this matter is definitely not Cui as it appears, but most likely Chen.

After a brief pause, Lei Wuji revealed a little information: "After preliminary investigation, the owner of Shuiyue Tower does have some problems, but he has not been involved in treason, murder of fellow clan members, and other malicious incidents."

"According to the sect's rules, even if all the charges against Shuiyue Tower Master are proven to be correct, the final punishment will most likely be to stay in the Thunder Prison for two or three years. After he is released, he will have to serve in a dangerous and cold place for a period of time to make amends for his crime."

"Of course, the above is just my speculation. The specific results will have to wait until all the circumstances are verified and handed over to Master Ziyin to decide personally."

Chen Ningtai certainly understood this.

After all, the owner of Shuiyue Tower is a Jindan cultivator and one of the top leaders of the sect's thirteen sects. It is simply unrealistic to completely overthrow him with just these things.

Immediately, he stopped talking and continued to chat with Lei Wuji about family matters.

Not long.

The nanny who was responsible for taking care of Chen Xinlei's daily life carried Chen Xinlei, who was only three years old, to the water pavilion of Wangyou Garden.

A three-year-old baby is at the age of being lively and active. Chen Xinlei was restless even in the arms of his nanny. His chubby little arms and legs kept moving around, and his dark eyes looked here and there, without stopping for a moment.

Seeing his fierce and ferocious appearance, Lei Wuji's heart skipped a beat. He quickly apologized to Chen Ningtai, then took out a transparent ball from his storage bag.

He gently placed the transparent ball into Chen Xinlei's chubby palm, and then held the child's hand tightly with his broad, calloused palm.

A faint trace of lightning power was released from his palm. This lightning power was very weak, extremely weak, and would hardly cause any harm to the human body.

Under his exquisite control, this trace of power, almost like lightning, flowed into the child's body along his bones.

At this moment, a rare hint of nervousness appeared on Lei Wuji's serious and calm face.

Seeing this, Chen Ningtai also actively cooperated and also showed a very serious expression, with a little expectation in his nervous eyes.

After a few breaths.

The transparent ball in the child's hand gradually lit up, and traces of electric light swam and collided in the ball, emitting clusters of faint light.

As the strands of electric light gathered more and more, the light emitted by the transparent sphere became brighter and brighter.

Lei Wuji's eyes were filled with joy at first, then suddenly became surprised, but soon turned into ecstasy, and his burly body even began to tremble slightly.

After a long while, he finally seemed to react and let go of Chen Xinlei's little hand. He stared at the little baby in front of him excitedly: "Three spiritual roots mutated spiritual roots, this must be the three spiritual roots mutated thunder spiritual roots!"

"What?" Chen Ningtai's body also "trembled" at the right time, his eyes full of disbelief, "Master Lei, you are not mistaken, are you?"

"How could it be wrong?!"

Lei Wuji glared at Chen Ningtai unhappily, but then seemed to have thought of something, and quickly restrained his emotions, trying to force out a kind expression.

"Brother Ning Tai, you don't know that this lightning bead is an inheritance of our Zixiao Tianlei Peak. It is specially used to test children with lightning spiritual roots. If it is an ordinary four-spiritual root mutated lightning spiritual root, the brightness of the light it emits will be at most half of this."

Chen Ningtai was stunned, and his whole body froze in place like a sculpture.

After a long while, he finally seemed to react and revealed an ecstatic expression: "The third spiritual root mutated into a thunder spiritual root, good, good, my Chen family has produced a demon!"

"Hahaha, congratulations, brother Ning Tai." Lei Wuji couldn't suppress his ecstasy. "A mutant thunder root of this level may not appear even in the entire Great Wu Kingdom for hundreds of years."

Of course he was ecstatic. He originally thought that the biggest gain of this trip might be a disciple, but the current situation was a surprise that was ten times, no, a hundred times more than he expected.

Accepting a disciple with three spiritual roots and mutant thunder spiritual roots was something he had never dared to think of before.

However, after the surprise, Chen Ningtai's eyes suddenly flickered. He picked up the tea and took a sip, as if he was hiding some emotion.

As the head of the Law Enforcement Hall, Lei Wuji was accustomed to seeing all kinds of lawbreakers and had a strong ability to capture people's expressions. When he saw his expression, his heart immediately skipped a beat.

After a pause, he calmly said tentatively: "Brother Ning Tai, it is better to do it today than to wait for a day. Let Lei'er and I confirm our relationship today. This way, I can plan for the child's future in advance."

"Well..." Chen Ningtai laughed and said, "Master Lei, Xin Lei is only three years old now. He can only draw Qi into his body and start practicing after he turns eight. Why is it so urgent to become his disciple?"

Lei Wuji's eyelids twitched.

At this moment, he wished he could slap himself hard twice.

Chen Ningtai should not have been told the truth about Lei'er's qualifications just now. He should have determined his status first. Now Chen Ningtai's look shows that he has become disloyal after learning that Xin Lei is not an ordinary thunder spirit root.

Immediately, Lei Wuji took a deep breath and said sincerely: "Brother Ning Tai, I admit that our family's thunder method inheritance is only limited to the sixth level of the Golden Core Stage, but the thunder method inheritance in this world is rare. The thunder method of Wuhen Mountain is not as good as our Zixiao Tianlei Jue."

"As for other countries... well, as far as I know, there are very few thunder methods that can be cultivated to the ninth level of the Golden Core in this world, not to mention the Taoist traditions that can be cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage. Even in the Tianyuan Dynasty, there are only two thunder methods of that level."

"But the Tianyuan Dynasty is blessed with many talented people and geniuses. Even if we Xin Lei want to compete, our chances of winning are not great. Moreover, even if we win, with the aptitude of three spiritual roots and thunder spiritual roots, the chances of success in attacking the Nascent Soul are still a bit low."

"Our Chen family is also from the Yunyang Sect, and we all know each other well. It is definitely not a disadvantage to join our own sect. Moreover, our Zixiao Tianlei Jue is not complete, so there is still hope that we can find the subsequent Taoist tradition."

When he said the last sentence, Lei Wuji felt a little uneasy.

Although it is recorded in the sect's scriptures that the Purple Sky Heavenly Thunder Art does have a corresponding Taoist inheritance, that Taoist inheritance has been cut off for who knows how many years, and there are few clues, so the chance of finding it is too slim.

Chen Ningtai still didn't respond to his words, but just shook his head and said: "Master Lei, please don't misunderstand. Ningtai really just thinks that Xin Lei is still young, so let him live a few more years without worries."

When Lei Wuji heard this, he just wanted to curse.

He didn't think Chen Ningtai really wanted to send the child abroad. It was obvious that he just wanted to take advantage of the situation and make more demands.

The problem is, with this child's spiritual root qualifications, once he becomes a disciple of Zixiao Tianlei Peak, he will definitely receive the most fertile resources for training.

Well, there was only one thing he could do at the moment.

Taking a deep breath, Lei Wuji decisively sold out Shuiyue Tower Master: "Brother Ning Tai, I will return to the temporary command center of Tianjian Peak. I think there are still many questions about Shuiyue Tower Master that have not been explained clearly, and we should dig deeper. Based on what he has done, he should indeed stay in the Thunder Prison for a few more years."

Chen Ningtai quickly poured him a cup of tea and said with a serious expression: "Master Lei, our Yunyang Sect is a famous and large sect. We cannot wrongly accuse a good person, but we must never let a bad person go. The owner of Shuiyue Tower is not a bad person, but he is a little childish and impulsive." "That's right, the owner of Shuiyue Tower has had too much smooth sailing in his life. He should really hone his temper in the Thunder Prison. Goodbye, Lei, I'm going to do my business first."

"Master Lei, why don't you have dinner before leaving?"

"Brother Ning Tai, some things are most efficient when they are struck while the iron is hot."

"In that case, Chen will not hinder Master Lei from doing his job."

"It's easy to talk about."

*****
Zhongzhou, somewhere in the Kunlun Mountains.

【Cangshan Villa】.

After finishing the business at Yixian Market and successfully fulfilling the bet with her nephew, Princess Yunyi set off to return to the villa.

These days, she has been busy dealing with the pile of affairs.

"Your Highness," a young scholar walked into the study and reported in a low voice, "The loan mission for Danyang Li's has been successfully completed. These are all archival materials, and you need to stamp them before filing them."

If you listen carefully, his voice seems to tremble slightly, but it's not very obvious, like an illusion.

After putting down a thick stack of spiritual paper documents, he quietly stepped back three or four steps, lowered his head, and his breathing was a little disordered and nervous.

Such an unusual situation could not be hidden from Princess Yunyi, whose cultivation had reached the middle stage of foundation building.

She glanced at the young scholar, picked up the document, and raised her eyebrows at him: "Yuan Ding, why are you so nervous? Is there something wrong with the mission?"

“No, no.” The young scholar named Yuan Ding waved his hands repeatedly, his whole body slightly tense due to nervousness. “Li’s loan mission went very smoothly, and the collateral assets they provided were also very generous.”

Not a mission? That's another question.

Princess Yun Yi narrowed her eyes slightly, her expression suddenly became dignified, and a chill was revealed in her voice: "Tell me honestly what happened, otherwise don't blame me for getting mad."

"Your Highness, I, I... I already have a fiancée." The young scholar Yuan Ding's face turned pale, and he knelt down with a plop, looking extremely frightened, "Forgive me, forgive me, I can't..."

Princess Yun Yi’s eyes widened.

Where is all this?

She had a hunch that something was wrong, and after repeated questioning, Yuan Ding tremblingly took out a hardcover magazine from his arms and honestly presented it to her.

Isn’t this [Da Wu Culture]?

Princess Yun Yi took the hardcover magazine in astonishment, but the next moment, she was struck by lightning and stood there in a daze.

The cover of the hardcover magazine was a picture of her and Chen Xiuyang having dinner!

Of course, in order to protect privacy, a thin layer of mosaic was put on the faces of both of them, but it was still clearly visible that Chen Xiuyang was tied to a chair.

The magazine's subtitle was also extremely shocking: "Shocking! A certain princess failed to woo a handsome man, so she resorted to this..."

Then, and then it was gone.

At this time, Yuan Ding was also secretly observing Princess Yunyi, his heart filled with anxiety and uneasiness.

Your Highness Yunyi, don't think that I don't recognize you just because you're blurred.

I never thought that you would have such a hobby in private! It's too outrageous!

At this moment, Princess Yun Yi's mind was blank, and her heart felt like a thousand alpaca horses were galloping through it, making her extremely confused.

"Cough cough!"

At this time.

Elder Wen coughed and cautiously chimed in from behind, "Your Highness, to put it in a positive light, this is also a way for us to support His Highness the Great-great-grandson's business. I heard that the sales of this issue of the magazine have exploded, and even the first issue has sold out again."

"After these two issues of the magazine, His Royal Highness the Great-great-grandson's business is now on the rise."

"Besides, there are so many princesses in our Great Wu Kingdom that most people would not guess that it is you..."

"boom!"

Princess Yunyi's fist landed heavily on the thick spiritual wood desk, creating a fist-shaped dent on it.

Princess Yun Yi's eyes were blazing with anger, and she gritted her teeth as she said, "Where is Wu Yongliang? ! ! Where is that bastard Wu Yongliang? ! ! I'm going to fight him!"

"Well..." Elder Wen waved his hand to signal Yuan Ding to leave quickly, and said with embarrassment, "His Royal Highness the Great-great-grandson is not a fool. He knows that you will definitely look for him after the truth is revealed, so he is probably hiding now."

"Haha, so just hiding is fine?"

"Wu Yongliang, ah Wu Yongliang, even if you hide in the sky, I will find you out."

"Yuanding, stop right there. The Yixian Market in Hedong County is still in need of a representative from us. Pack up and go over there to keep watch for ten years."

"Ah, this..." Yuan Ding's eyes widened with horror, "Your Highness, I'm getting married soon."

"Get married? Haha, believe it or not, I will tie you to a chair and feed you. Haha, you think this princess is a pervert, right? That's what you thought just now, right? Don't deny it, your eyes have already betrayed you."

Damn it!
Yuan Ding was about to cry.

What does the fight between you two have to do with me? Why did you implicate me and send me to the frontier?

＊＊＊＊＊＊
Time flies, and before you know it, another year has passed.

It is the Chen family's annual ancestor worship day again.

This year is the 238th year of the Xuanmo calendar and the 41st year since Chen Xuanmo's death.

On the day of sacrifice.

Chen Xuanmo woke up again as Chen Ningtai continued to recite the eulogy.

Feeling wisps of purple air gathering towards him, Chen Xuanmo yawned, but did not rush to open his eyes, preparing to wait until the purple air finished gathering.

There was no way. After the ancestor worship ceremony last year, Zhong Liye was transferred to Xihai County. There were no more surprises during the worship ceremony. Even though there were more than a thousand strands of purple energy gathered every year, he always felt that something was missing and he couldn't muster any interest at all.

Strands of purple energy flowed through the blade of the Xuan Mo Ling Sword and finally gathered into the lucky bead, filling the stock of purple energy bit by bit.

Before we knew it, the gathering of purple energy ended.

Chen Xuanmo was just about to open his eyes and visit his descendants in the ancestral hall.

suddenly.

The body of the Xuan Mo Ling Sword shook, and it floated slightly up from the shelf, with a radiant light blooming on the black sword body.

at the same time.

A mysterious aura suddenly emanated from the sword.

As if some kind of power was transforming the sword body, the black sword body of the Xuan Mo Ling Sword began to change little by little, and the aura it emitted also began to rise little by little.

This is……

The Xuan Mo Ling Sword reached a certain threshold for absorbing purple energy.

Upgrading again?

Chen Xuanmo was delighted and quickly opened his eyes to observe carefully.

If you think about it carefully, ten years have passed since the last time the Xuanmo Spirit Sword was promoted to a top-grade Spirit Sword, and the total amount of purple energy that has accumulated seems to be almost 20,000 strands.

It seems that ten thousand silk threads is a threshold.

Inside the lucky bead, purple air was spinning like a whirlpool.

In the center of the vortex, next to the ball of light that represented the sword-cultivation technique, another ball of light was rapidly emerging from nothing.

Presumably, when this ball of light is fully nurtured, the Xuanmo Spirit Sword will have a new "magical power".

The transformation process is quite rapid.

Soon, the radiant light that was blooming from the Xuan Mo Spirit Sword retracted again, and the sword fell back onto the shelf.

Compared with before, the aura of the Xuanmo Lingjian has obviously increased a lot, and the luster of the sword has become more restrained and mysterious.

Although it has not been tested specifically yet, Chen Xuanmo can feel that the sword body of the Xuanmo Spiritual Sword has become stronger and the blade seems to have become sharper. It is not at the level of a top-grade spiritual weapon, but it is much stronger than an ordinary high-grade spiritual weapon.

The ball of light in the lucky bead also condensed into a small translucent sword, which looked almost exactly like the Xuan Mo Ling Sword in appearance.

What kind of little magical power is this?
Chen Xuanmo felt a little puzzled, and hurriedly tried to comprehend it carefully. After a while, a look of surprise gradually appeared in his eyes.

"The Xuanmo Spirit Sword splits into two swords?"

good good!
In this way, he could build a branch ancestral hall so that the family descendants who could not return would also have the opportunity to worship!
