5000 years of urban cultivation

Chapter 571 Swapping Spiritual Roots and Fate

After Jiang Ling had a brief conversation with his master Leng Yutong, he asked Qin Zhong about his cultivation path, which made Qin Zhong stunned.

He has lived for such a long time. On the surface he looks like a young man, but in fact he is over 200 years old. How could he not know what Jiang Ling meant?
The leader of the Feixian Empire wanted to give Qin Zhong a great opportunity.

Thinking of this, Qin Zhong's body trembled involuntarily.

"I, I have some problems with my body. I fell into an ambush on the way out, leaving a hidden danger. I can no longer practice for the rest of my life, and I can't even use my cultivation base. Once I use my cultivation base, I will burn my own vitality."

Qin Zhong was not hypocritical, and directly told Jiang Ling about his physical condition.

Now that people are willing to treat you, if you still hesitate to acknowledge it, it will backfire. The best choice is to accept the kindness of the big boss readily, and be grateful to the big boss and it will be over.

In this way, the boss feels at ease, and the beneficiaries also get real benefits. The best of both worlds, why not do it?

"Well, in fact, you said that there was something wrong with your cultivation, so I secretly read it for you."

Jiang Ling didn't put on airs at all, and kept his usual tone.

Speaking of this, he couldn't help frowning: "Who did you offend? How could someone pay such a high price to attack you."

Hearing what Jiang Ling said, Qin Zhong was startled, and quickly asked Jiang Ling: "What's wrong? Did you see anything?"

Jiang Ling and Leng Yutong looked at each other, shook their heads and sighed involuntarily, a bit reluctant to tell Qin Zhong the truth of the matter.

What Jiang Ling can see, I believe Leng Yutong can see without cultivation base, the two of them can tell what the other is thinking just by looking at each other.

In fact, even if ordinary people talk to Jiang Ling for a few words, Jiang Ling will not be so interested in him. At most, he will give him a chance so that there will be no more ties, and the cause and effect will be broken.

But Qin Zhong was indeed not ordinary. Even someone like Jiang Ling, who was used to seeing big scenes, felt pitiful for his situation, and couldn't help but want to help him.

"Emperor, please tell me what happened to me." Qin Zhong almost knelt down before Jiang Ling.

For so many years, the reason why he stayed near the Feixian Empire even if he lost his cultivation was because he wanted to find out the real reason why he lost his cultivation.

Now that he can finally solve the mystery, of course he wants to know!

"Hey," Jiang Ling patted Qin Zhong's shoulder, "Don't call me Emperor, you should call me brother, just treat me like an ordinary person like before."

"Okay." Qin Zhong nodded.

The boss has said so, so he is naturally happy, Qin Zhong is straightforward, and he is not the kind of person who will beat around the bush and make small thoughts.

"Ugh."

Looking at Qin Zhong's expectant eyes, Jiang Ling couldn't help but sigh.

It seems that he really doesn't know yet, but the truth of the matter may be difficult for him to accept.

"You really want to know?" Jiang Ling asked again.

"Yes, this is the belief I have lived up to now." Qin Zhong clenched his fists involuntarily.

"Okay, then I'll tell you the truth." Jiang Ling nodded slightly.

After sorting out his thoughts for a while, he said again: "The thing is like this, you should be very talented in cultivation before the accident, right?"

"Yes, I am very talented in cultivation. I broke through the innate stage not long after I was born, and then reached the alchemy stage when I was 4 years old, and condensed the Nascent Soul at the age of 10."

When talking about these things, a trace of pride appeared on Qin Zhong's face, that is something he should be proud of.

"En." Jiang Ling nodded straightly.

This talent is indeed very high, even he is jealous.

It must be known that Jiangling spent hundreds of thousands of years in vain before becoming a Nascent Soul, but Qin Zhong condensed a Nascent Soul at the age of 10, which is simply unbelievable.

This cultivation speed is considered monstrous even in the prosperous age, not to mention that the prosperous age has not yet opened at that time.

After pondering for a while, Jiang Ling asked again: "Besides the high talent in cultivation, your life path was also very smooth at that time, and your life was very happy, right?"

"Well, yes," Qin Zhong's face revealed a look of pain, "At that time I was practicing under Master, and I was deeply loved by Master. My relationship with Master was like that of a real father and son, and I also made a lifelong commitment with my junior sister. And soon he was recruited into the guard army by Feixian Mountain."

It should have been a beautiful thing, but now it is full of pain when I recall it.

"Unfortunately, after my accident, I was chased and killed for no reason. My master was killed while protecting me, and my junior sister was with my most trusted brother. I also quit the guard army."

Qin Zhong closed his eyes in pain. Every time he recalled these past events, he was very painful. Until now, he has never mentioned it to his wife and son.

No one in his family knew about this painful experience.

Jiang Ling and Leng Yutong looked at each other, they both shook their heads and sighed.

Compared with them, Qin Zhong's experience was not too much.

After Qin Zhong calmed down a bit, Jiang Ling said, "Since you were ambushed and seriously injured, has everything changed? Your cultivation has become ineffective, and your happy life has become riddled with holes."

"Well, that's right." Qin Zhong nodded.

His entire life experience can be divided into two periods, and the turning point is in that ambush.

"You thought it was just an injury that affected your cultivation?" Jiang Ling shook his head, "I tell you, it's not that simple."

"What's going on?" Qin Zhong stared nervously at Jiang Ling.

"Each cultivator has a different talent in cultivation, which is caused by each person's different sensitivity to the aura of heaven and earth, and the difference in the degree of inspiration is called the spiritual root by today's people."

Jiang Ling's voice was low: "And the spiritual root in your body does not belong to you. Your spiritual root has been dug away!"

"What!" Qin Zhong cried out in shock. Even though he was mentally prepared, he still couldn't control his emotions when he heard such a thing.

"Your cultivation speed has suddenly decreased because your own spiritual roots have been poached away, and now the spiritual roots in your body belong to someone else. You should have exchanged spiritual roots."

"And the price of exchanging spiritual roots is extremely high, so I just asked who you offended. Ordinary people can't do this kind of thing because they don't have that ability."

What Jiang Ling said was the truth.

The exchange of spiritual roots is easy to say, but it is quite difficult to operate. First of all, it is a difficult task to dig out the spiritual roots from Qin Zhong's body intact, let alone transplant them. .

"Damn it!" Qin Zhong lowered his head and clenched his fists angrily.

"Not only that, not only your spiritual roots have been changed, but even your fate has been changed, so your life will be in a mess, because it is not your life at all!"

Jiang Ling's voice was deep and low. When he said this sentence, it was like a heavy hammer hitting Qin Zhong's soul fiercely.

"Fate has also changed?" Qin Zhong murmured softly, his eyes were full of confusion, he couldn't believe it, but felt it was true.
