Tomb of Immortals

Chapter 42 Examining the Spiritual Root

"I am the direct disciple of Wei Renjie, the elder of Wei Zhuang. My name is Wei Huo. I once had a grudge with Wei Mingzhu, the daughter of Wei Zhuang. My master passed away half a year ago. In order to escape Wei Mingzhu's revenge, I fled Wei Zhuang. But I am dedicated to Taoism and have great admiration for Tianjianzong, so this time I risked my life and rushed back, just want to participate in the audition of the sect, and please let the deacon do it!"

When Baotian said these words, Wei Buqun couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief, so he finally got away with Yuan Chaonian.But Wei Buqun couldn't help being a little uneasy, if this Wei Huo was really selected, he would become a member of the Heavenly Sword Sect, if he succeeds in cultivation in the future, wouldn't it be a great disadvantage to Wei Zhuang?

Wei Buqun thought about it, but what if he wasn't selected?Isn't it worse that Wei Zhuang was revoked?Besides, even if he is selected, Wei Zhuang is still a subordinate family of Tianjianzong, so it is impossible for Wei Huo to dare to do anything to Wei Zhuang if he is successful in cultivation.

As a result, Wei Buqun secretly hoped that Wei Huo would really be selected by the Heavenly Sword Sect.

"Oh?" Yuan Chaonian raised his eyebrows and looked at Wei Buqun: "What kind of grievance can make him escape from Weizhuang after the death of his master? And let the owner of Weizhuang order that if he is captured alive, he will be sent directly without notification." to see you?"

The corner of Wei Buqun's mouth twitched twice, he swallowed with difficulty, and then expressed anger: "This son dared to slap my daughter twenty times in public! I wanted to deal with him, but Wei Renjie, who was the Great Elder at that time, insisted on protecting this son, hmph..."

"I see..." Yuan Chaonian nodded frequently, expressing his understanding.

As a long-term contact person with Wei Zhuang, Yuan Chaonian also has some understanding of Wei Zhuang's internal struggles, and knows Wei Renjie's checks and balances against Wei Buqun.

The owner's daughter was slapped twenty times in public, which is really intolerable.But because of Wei Renjie's protection, Wei Buqun was unable to punish Wei Huo.No wonder this Wei Huo fled from Wei Zhuang right after Wei Renjie died, or else he would have been torn alive by Wei Buqun?
"Vendor Master Wei, take a step to speak." Yuan Chaonian beckoned to Wei Buqun. In front of his servants, Yuan Chaonian still wanted to save face for Wei Buqun.

"Deacon Yuan?" Wei Buqun hurried forward and listened to him. Yuan Chaonian lowered his voice and said to him, "This son is from Wei Zhuang, and his family background is also clean. Anyway, he is already here, and Wei Zhuang is not good. Miao Zi, let me test him. If he has spiritual roots, it can solve your urgent needs. If he doesn't have spiritual roots, isn't it up to you?"

Hearing what Yuan Chaonian said, Wei Buqun knew that Yuan Chaonian had good intentions.He sighed in his heart, Yuan Chaonian thought it was true that Baotian would only propose such a proposal by beating his daughter in public, but he had no choice but to refuse at this time would make people even more suspicious, so he had to let Yuan Chaonian go, the worst would be in Wei Before Huo left, he warned him again, knowing the benefits, and believed that Wei Huo would know how to keep the secret.

"Trouble Deacon Yuan." Wei Buqun cupped his hands, Yuan Chaonian walked up to Baotian, waved his hand, Wei Bulai and Wei Buqu remained motionless.

"Two rams!" Wei Buqun shouted angrily, "Stay out of the way?"

Wei Bulai and Wei Bulai showed a look of daring to be angry but didn't dare to speak, and then retreated to the two sides, still slandering in their hearts that the owner of the villa might want to break the promise. But the owner didn't mention a word for a long time.

Yuan Chaonian took out a pentagonal compass, put it in his palm and handed it to Baotian.The pentagonal compass glowed in Yuan Chaonian's palm, and each corner corresponds to a color, white, blue, black, red, and yellow, which correspond to the five elements.This is the five-element compass, a magic weapon monopolized by various sects.

The five-color virtual light shot about an inch above and flickered three times, then retracted again, and the five-element compass turned into a dull metal object again.This means that the five-element compass has been activated, and the next step is to detect Baotian's spiritual roots.

"Wei Huo, just put your palm on the compass." Yuan Chaonian ordered, he didn't explain much, he is a fairy in front of mortals, he doesn't need to explain to anyone.

Bao Tian knew that the five-element compass must be able to detect the spiritual roots by himself, so he stuck his palm to the compass as he said.As soon as he touched it, he felt as if something invisible was slowly sweeping across his body.

Bao Tian let it sweep by, and at this moment the five-element compass suddenly lit up like before, and five-color virtual light about an inch high floated on the five corners.

Suddenly Yuan Chaonian's eyes lit up and he regained his energy, he really has spiritual roots!Even the worst Wulinggen is enough to make a difference!
Wei Buqun couldn't help being surprised and delighted, he didn't expect Wei Huo to be a seedling with spiritual roots!Now Wei Zhuang is saved...

The five-color virtual light flickered three times after lighting up, and suddenly the four-color virtual light quickly dimmed, and the four corners also returned to darkness.

But only the red light not only didn't dim, but was climbing steadily, from the first one inch to two, three inches, and even five inches long, it still didn't stop.

"Boom-"

Yuan Chaonian's hand shook, but before the red light climbed to the highest point, the five-element compass in his hand was so excited that he dropped it and fell to the ground.

"My God..." Yuan Chaonian's whole body was stiff, and he felt his throat was dry and smoky.Originally, although he had hoped for Bao Tianbao, he thought that it was just a useless talent like Wulinggen, and it would be a good harvest to have four Linggens, so his expression was very natural and his mind was still very stable.

But he never thought that Baotian would be Tianlinggen!
Heavenly Spiritual Root, which is one in a million!
Yuan Chaonian deeply understands what the Heavenly Spiritual Root means. For example, he only has the qualifications of the Four Spiritual Roots, but after decades of hard work, he has been able to reach the level of an inner disciple and even become a second-class deacon.

Tianlinggen is at least an inner disciple as soon as he gets started, and he will definitely be contested by the peak masters.Because this kind of Tianlinggen qualification is really rare, no matter which sect you go to, it is definitely hot, and you can almost reserve a place for the future elders.

Yuan Chaonian never thought that one day he would unearth a heavenly spirit root from his hands, which made him almost speechless with excitement.

This is also his opportunity. You must know that the future of Tianlinggen disciples is limitless. Maybe it will be "one person attains Taoism and ascends to heaven".

Yuan Chaonian suddenly realized something, and quickly squatted down to pick up the five-element compass and hide it in his sleeve.His trembling hands have already sensed a few less obvious cracks in the five-element compass, which is the backlash against the five-element compass after the detection of the Tianlinggen.With such heaven-defying qualifications, the five-element compass seems to be too low-level.

"Deacon Yuan, you..." Wei Buqun was really shocked by Yuan Chaonian's behavior at this time. Before that, Yuan Chaonian had always put on the airs of his sect's deacon, even when facing him, the master of the village. Without adding color, Yuan Chaonian's reaction now is too out of character.

Yuan Chaonian ignored him, and went forward to grab Baotian's hand excitedly, but Baotian subconsciously shrank his hand to avoid Yuan Chaonian. He didn't have the habit of Longyang, and he didn't have the habit of holding hands with men.

Reckless!Yuan Chaonian slapped himself on the forehead, he was so excited, he quickly restrained his emotions, and said to Bao Tian in a trembling voice: "Junior Wei Huo, congratulations, you have passed the audition, please You pack up your luggage, follow me... and follow me to 【Wan Jianling】!"

Yuan Chaonian had already changed his name to Bao Tian as his junior, and his tone was so polite and easy-going that Wei Buqun couldn't help but wonder if the sun came out from the west today.

Wei Buqun had also been through Yuan Chaonian's auditions several times, and even for the selected ones, Yuan Chaonian treated them with a pleasant face at best, but still carried a condescending air, and would never be so polite as he was at this time.The current Yuan Chaonian feels to Wei Buqun as if he regards Baotian as an equal.

What exactly is going on?With a thought, Wei Buqun thought that Baotian must be very talented, and he couldn't help feeling a little apprehensive.If Baotian's aptitude is better, it doesn't matter, Wei Zhuang is always safe to rely on Tianjianzong.But if Baotian's aptitude is beyond the sky, the sect will be very tolerant, even if Baotian destroys Wei Zhuang, he will not be punished.If that was the case, Wei Buqun would have to think of some solutions.

"Deacon Yuan, what is Wei Huo's qualifications?" Wei Buqun put on a beaming look, asking Yuan Chaonian as if he was genuinely happy for Bao Tian.Those who don't know must think that Wei Buqun admires Wei Huo, a junior of the same clan.

Yuan Chaonian naturally wouldn't tell him the truth, if Baotian had three spiritual roots or even two spiritual roots, he wouldn't hide anything from Wei Buqun, his own person.But Tianlinggen's words are really too rare. No one can guarantee whether they will be intercepted halfway before they officially enter the Tianjianzong. Tianlinggen is also an invaluable talent for the other five sects.

If any sect has a disciple of Tianlinggen in one generation, it can basically guarantee that its prestige will not fall for hundreds of years. This is the real pillar!

So Yuan Chaonian lied to Wei Buqun without hesitation: "Very good! It turned out to be a rare three spiritual roots. As long as you are willing to practice hard, you will have a bright future in the future!"

It turned out to be the Three Spiritual Roots... Wei Buqun couldn't help taking a deep breath, the Three Spiritual Roots were indeed quite aptitude.I dare not say too much, elite disciples are all right.If you are willing to work hard, you have a certain chance to become a core disciple.

In a sect, core disciples already have a very high status, and core disciples will often take over the position of elders after they grow up, and even the best among them will become candidates for the next sect master.

Wei Buqun blinked, hiding the fear and resentment in his heart well.Then he laughed loudly and said to Bao Tian: "Congratulations, Ah Huo, I've seen you for a long time. The deacon is in a hurry."

Bao Tian was already jumping up excitedly at this time, his little face was flushed with excitement, he quickly bowed to Wei Buqun and Yuan Chaonian each, turned and ran out as if he was too excited to speak.

When he got to a place where no one could see, the excitement on Bao Tian's face dissipated, he curled his lips and looked back.Just now Wei Buqun's fear and resentment have been perceived by him, but he only needs to endure it for now, and when he arrives at the Heavenly Sword Sect, he will be able to guard the clouds and see the moonlight!

Until now, everything is proceeding according to the plot that Bao Tian had designed long ago.With Bao Tian's powerful spiritual sense, he has already swept through the spiritual roots of all the younger generations in Wei Zhuang, knowing that there must be no seedlings in Wei Zhuang this time, so Bao Tian is even more sure that Wei Buqun will never dare to stop himself.

"Come on, Deacon Yuan, please take a seat." Wei Buqun said to Yuan Chaonian with a smile, "I have ordered people to prepare delicious food and wine. Deacon Yuan please enjoy it slowly."

At this time, Yuan Chaonian is looking forward to returning home, he personally discovered a heavenly root, how can he have the heart to eat the food of this mortal?Now he can't wait to take Bao Tian back to his life, the sect has always been rewarded and punished, maybe he will be able to become an elite disciple if he gets some good reward!

"No need, it's been a while, and I have to rush back to report." Yuan Chaonian waved to Wei Buqun impatiently, now he can't wait to help Bao Tian pack his bags.

"Hehe, that's fine, then I won't delay you." Wei Buqun said with a smile on his face, "Deacon Yuan, please sit down for a while, Ah Huo's junior has never seen anything big, so I'll go and tell him a few words. "

This was in Wei Zhuang, so Yuan Chaonian naturally didn't want to interfere.Besides, it is normal for a child of this race to be selected into the sect by audition. Yuan Chaonian did not believe that Wei Buqun would choose this time to avenge Wei Mingzhu.

What Yuan Chaonian thought was that Wei Buqun should go to Wei Huo for reconciliation, to clear up the suspicion and then win over. Even if Wei Huo has outstanding aptitude to reach the Heavenly Sword Sect, he will be alone and needs Wei Zhuang's support, so if he reconciles It is beneficial to both parties.

Wei Buqun took out another item from his sleeve and stuffed it concealedly for Yuan Chaonian, Yuan Chaonian chuckled, "You are too polite, well, I will wait here, please do as you please."

The two sides reached a tacit understanding, and Wei Buqun left with a smile.As soon as he went out, Wei Buqun's expression turned cold, and he lost his usual steadiness, and hurried towards Baotian's residence.

In fact, Baotian has nothing to clean up, it is nothing more than a few clothes that fit better.But he intentionally delayed a little, just to wait for Wei Buqun.He knew that Wei Buqun would definitely come to him at this time, and it was also a good opportunity for him.

Sure enough, soon Wei Buqun's footsteps sounded outside the door.
