I use my supernatural powers to prove my immortality

Chapter 180: Scoring

"At present, Diling Peak does not have any instruments for the spirit summoning ceremony. Daoist Fellow Hu, do you know the attributes of Xiaolu's spirit roots?"

"I know, I know. Xiaolu has a mutant ice spirit root and excellent talent. She will definitely not bring disgrace to your reputation, lord!"

Zhong Lixiao's expression changed when he heard this.

The mutated ice spiritual root is an excellent spiritual root attribute produced by the mutation of the gold spiritual root and the water spiritual root.

Except for the time when advancing to the Golden Core Stage, there is still a bottleneck and the need for the assistance of elixirs. Otherwise, there is almost no difference from the Natural Spiritual Roots.

What is the concept of heavenly spiritual roots?
In the true sense, he is God's favorite, and his cultivation speed is two to three times faster than that of those with two spiritual roots.

There are no bottlenecks in each realm, and one can cultivate all the way to the Golden Elixir without any obstacles.

The only difference between mutated spiritual roots and natural spiritual roots is that there is a bottleneck in forming the elixir.

You should know that in the Taoyuan Zhong family, those with three spiritual roots are qualified to be established as "immortal seedlings".

However, the cultivation speed of this kind of immortal seedling is not even worthy of carrying shoes for geniuses with mutated spiritual roots.

Such a genius has been delayed until now, he deserves to be struck by lightning!
Zhong Lixiao even felt that it was unimaginable for a moment, or even completely incomprehensible.

"Xiao Lu is so talented? Why didn't you two teach her the skills?!"

When Zhong Lixiao asked this question, his attitude and tone were very bad, and it was even an accountability.

An extremely terrifying thought even arose in his mind. He just hoped that it was not what he imagined!

All this is because - compared to cultivators, it is easier for mortals to awaken their supernatural powers.

Therefore, Zhong Lixiao seriously suspected that Xiaolu, who had mutated ice spiritual roots, had not been able to start practicing Taoism, and it was very likely that she was deliberately delayed from doing so.

The purpose is to make it easier for Xiaolu to awaken her magical powers!
Zhong Lixiao now has a deep understanding of this.

The ancestor Zhong Anhe and the second disciple Ning Yunzhi are the best examples. Even though they are infinitely close to awakening their supernatural powers, that final step is like an insurmountable chasm.

There is no way to cross it!

But for Xue Jingliang, a mortal, the situation was different. He overcame this difficulty with an epiphany!
What Zhong Lixiao really wanted to know was what role the Hu Bowei couple played in this matter.

I hope it’s not what he guessed!!!
I hope the Huberwei couple really know nothing.

Otherwise, Xiaolu would be too pitiful!

It’s not that Zhong Lixiao thinks too badly of people, but this is indeed too abnormal.

Even if you think with your feet, you can understand what a child with natural spiritual roots means.

Even if I don't have the ability to raise a child, as long as I escort the child to Baiyun Temple, I can kill two birds with one stone.

Not only can the child receive the best education, but he can also get a foundation-building pill as a reward, and even get a big backer.
Zhong Lixiao clearly remembered that when Hu Bowei was captured and his soul was extracted, Xiaolu was already nine years old.

Even in the newly established small family of Taoyuan Zhong, the spirit-calling ceremony for children begins when they are six years old.

When he was nine years old, he had already been practicing for several years.

Zhong Lixiao didn't believe that Hu Bowei, who had a long heritage, didn't understand this truth.

Zhong Lixiao looked at Hu Bowei with a gloomy gaze.

In just this short moment, even Hu Xiaolu came to her senses a little.

She might not know the secret that mortals are more likely to awaken supernatural powers, but even if she only heard a few words from her elder brother and master, she could understand that she had good aptitude.

And it is very abnormal that her parents did not teach her to practice!

No one knew how many times she had fantasized, during those days of imprisonment, torture and suffering, that it would be a good thing if she had practiced cultivation.

She still remembered that her parents had displayed their magical powers in front of her, and she was so happy at that time.

Of course she asked her parents to teach her!
But later on, it was always delayed again and again for various reasons.

Hu Xiaolu tried hard to recall, and the dusty memories in the box came flooding back.

Suddenly, Hu Xiaolu was stunned.

Because as far as she could remember, the excuses her parents used to delay teaching her the practice were all very lame.

In many cases, it is simply a matter of dishonesty and breach of contract for various reasons.

How could she have forgotten so many important things?

She was very scared. Very, very scared!
At this moment, Hu Bowei's ghost suddenly hugged his head tightly with his hands.

"why?"

"Why didn't I teach Xiaolu how to practice back then?"

"Why didn't Ping'er and I teach Xiaolu the skills back then? Ah~~~"

In just a short period of time, Hu Bowei's ghost seemed to have encountered a "running bug", and a large amount of original soul power seeped out of the ghost body.

Hu Bowei's soul seemed to be torn apart. Zhong Lixiao could even see a symbol similar to "乂" appearing between Hu Bowei's eyebrows.

Under this "乂" rune, you can see Hu Bowei's ghost body twisting rapidly.

It may expand, stretch, or compress, just like a bloated balloon that may burst or disappear at any time.

Hu Xiaolu was frightened and shouted, "Dad, don't think about it. Please don't think about it anymore."

Zhong Lixiao also immediately used the connection between him and the Gold Token to do his best to replenish Hu Bowei's spiritual power.

Try to maintain his ghost body as much as possible so that it won't fall apart.

Things had developed to this point, and even without any words, everyone could understand that something had been done to Hu Bowei's soul.

Before being exposed today, perhaps Hu Bowei himself did not realize that his soul had been tampered with long ago, and he had been subtly guided, intentionally or unintentionally, not to lead Hu Xiaolu onto the path of cultivation.

That dark hand in the dark is really very, very scary!
time flies.

With the help of Zhong Lixiao's special Hou Tu Zhen Yuan, Hu Bowei was finally successfully pulled back from the brink of self-destruction.

but.

After experiencing "tears", "trauma", and now almost "self-explosion", Hu Bowei could no longer hold on and fell into a deep sleep.

There was no other way, Zhong Lixiao could only put Hu Bowei back into the Gold Bank Token for recuperation.

Seeing Hu Xiaolu crying, Zhong Lixiao comforted her, "Xiaolu, practice well. When you get started, I will pass on the Five Ghosts and Five Elements Token to you."

Hu Xiaolu shook her head stubbornly.

"It's better to leave this set of magic tools with Master. I'm afraid my father will follow me and fall into an irretrievable situation because of me."

After hearing this, Zhong Lixiao did not insist any more.

He planned to pass this set of magical instruments to Hu Xiaolu out of sympathy and love, and he did not want them to be separated.

However, Hu Xiaolu's reason for rejecting the offer was indeed very appropriate.

Hu Bowei might be able to help his daughter a little if he follows Hu Xiaolu, but he is indeed very dangerous.

From the current perspective, in the script of the mastermind behind the scenes, even if Hu Bowei does not die at the hands of Hu Xiaolu himself, it would be best if he died because of Hu Xiaolu.

Simply utterly disgusting!
Seeing Hu Xiaolu was extremely sad, Zhong Lixiao held Hu Xiaolu in his arms, stroked her little head and said, "Master knows you are upset now, just cry if you are upset. With Master, it is okay to cry even if you can't hold it back."

The tears that had been rolling in Hu Xiaolu's eyes suddenly burst out, "Master, I will only cry for one day today, and I will never cry again in the future!"

Zhong Lixiao said distressedly, "Okay, Master believes in you."

Ah~~~
Hu Xiaolu cried bitterly, her heart breaking.

Hu Xiaolu was tired from crying and fell into a deep sleep. Zhong Lixiao then found an opportunity to walk out of the quiet room.

outdoor.

Xue Jingliang and Ning Yunzhi have both returned.

Judging from the confident looks of the two, this trip must have been quite fruitful.

Zhong Lixiao immediately became excited.

Xue Jingliang bowed and said, "Master, Baiyun Temple does have what you call 'internal currency', but it is not virtual. In Baiyun Temple it is called 'cloud currency', and is divided into three types: one-color, two-color, and five-color. They are all issued by the Finance Hall, and the main body is made of a special kind of cloud jade."

After Xue Jingliang finished speaking, he took out a colorful cloud coin and presented it to Zhong Lixiao.

Zhong Lixiao took it and took a look, only to find that the jade used for this cloud currency was of very fine quality.

The patterns above have the many peaks of Floating Cloud Mountain. When one scans it with spiritual sense, it seems as if one can see a small mustard seed space.

You can even see the scenery of many peaks from a bird's eye view.

Among them, the colorful auspicious clouds are even more lifelike.

It's like a breeze blowing on your face, making you feel refreshed, extremely comfortable, and a kind of joy arises spontaneously.

Seeing that Zhong Lixiao had already experienced the magic of cloud coins, Xue Jingliang added, "In Baiyun Temple, the exchange rate between cloud coins is that one five-color cloud coin can be exchanged for one hundred two-color cloud coins, and can be exchanged for ten thousand one-color cloud coins."

"As for the value of cloud coins, one cloud coin is roughly equivalent to a low-grade spirit stone."

After Xue Jingliang said this, Zhong Lixiao suddenly understood.

If Yunbi is directly anchored to Lingshi, it would be almost the same as currency being directly anchored to gold.

As long as the credit of Baiyun Temple does not collapse, the credit currency Yunbi will definitely be a valuable currency.

Seeing that Zhong Lixiao understood, Xue Jingliang smiled and said, "It is very convenient to exchange between cloud coins and spirit stones, but it is more convenient to use cloud coins in Baiyun Temple."

"The Sutra Library and various treasures that are beneficial to spiritual practice can only be entered using cloud coins."

Zhong Lixiao nodded.

He could understand that, too.

By using the Yunbi system, we can find people to do many extremely difficult jobs within Baiyun Temple.

Even if everyone is a cultivator, as long as they gather together, they will inevitably form classes.

But for the upper class, these immortal cultivators in the lower class are their most important wealth.

There will definitely never be enough cloud coins!
Xue Jingliang: "Basically, you can read all kinds of books on the first floor of the Sutra Library for a whole day by paying one cloud coin. If you come across a book you need, you can pay another cloud coin to copy it."

"Things like elixirs, talismans, and magical instruments are all sold inside Baiyun Temple. If you buy them with cloud coins, there are relatively good discounts."

"As for the various ways to earn cloud coins, let Junior Sister tell you."

Zhong Lixiao took the opportunity to look at Ning Yunzhi.

Ning Yunzhi smiled and said, "According to my investigation and understanding, the means of earning cloud coins can be mainly categorized into 'scholarships', 'tasks', and 'trading'."

"Scholarships are easier to understand. You can earn cloud coins by achieving breakthroughs in your cultivation, passing the tests set by the sect, preaching to fellow disciples, answering some of the tasks and rewards issued by fellow disciples, getting good results in the sect competition, and inventing and improving magic and skills."

"The missions are mainly divided into internal and external missions. You can go to the General Affairs Hall to accept them."

"For example, the tasks within the sect are very diverse. For example, you can accept tasks to help process certain materials, or go to a certain mountain to help make talisman paper, or help process monster materials, etc. There are farming, production, care, etc."

"Some of these tasks are issued directly by the sect, while others are mainly issued by sect members. The rewards and difficulty levels are also different."

"As for transactions, they are mainly about buying and selling. The sect generally does not care about small transactions, but it should be noted that some specific material transactions must be conducted at the sect's designated location. Stalls need to be purchased, and there is also a small tax on the turnover."

Zhong Lixiao was suddenly enlightened when he heard this.

Baiyun Temple's various monetary policies are generally aimed at creating a positive environment for practice.

For example, the cloud coins given as "scholarships" are essentially scholarships.

Encouraged by these policies, the "academic masters" will only become more and more outstanding.

The formulation of trading policies, in general, is to focus on the big and let go of the small.

The requirement to trade special materials at designated locations also has a bit of the flavor of "salt and iron monopoly".

It can not only control the flow of important materials, but also collect certain taxes.

In general, the monetary policy within Baiyun Temple is not only very complete, but also has a strong policy orientation.

The subsequent conversations between the master and his three disciples became more and more detailed.

As for the purpose, it is also through various methods of weighing the pros and cons, focusing on screening out the suitable ways for them to earn cloud coins.

In the end, Zhong Lixiao still focused on "scholarship" and "transaction".

but.

For example, the time for him to receive the scholarship for breaking through to the middle stage of foundation building will have to be postponed for some time.

It would be too much of a slap in the face to take this reward now.

This went against the "cowardly" strategy he had formulated and had to be postponed.

but.

For example, he can get the rewards for clearing various secret realms first.

This is mainly because these levels are used to test the reward levels that the disciples have learned, and all the inner disciples who entered the sect at the same time as him have passed them.

As long as he controls the points well, he can get the reward without being too conspicuous.

As for "transaction", Zhong Lixiao's core focus is on alchemy.

With the magical gourd in his hand, as long as he masters various alchemy techniques and truly obtains the identity of an alchemist, he will basically never lack spirit stones and cloud coins in the future.

At this point, Zhong Lixiao has already finalized his next plan for scoring and training.
