Two treasure maps

Guojiazhuang has strict rules and is in good order. Whether it is the servants, guardians, or maids and servants, they all know the importance of rules and dare not violate them. Especially in the holy places such as the ancestral hall, the meeting place and the training ground, ordinary people are strictly prohibited from approaching. This is a rule set by the owner of the manor himself recently, in order to ensure that the immortals' practice is not disturbed.

The training ground of Yinglin Garden was enchanted by Jiangshan, Guo Lin's contracted guardian, to ensure that the people inside and the contracted guardian's training could not be seen by others. Guo Lin, Zhao Ying, Guo Feipeng, Guo Feimo, Guo Liuli, Guo Meili, each of them was fully focused, interacting with their contracted guardians, practicing together, working with each other, and striving to reach a higher level in their practice.

However, in this quiet training ground, Guo Lingli felt a little uncomfortable. Ever since she used the Beast Taming Bell last time, she found that her brother, sister, and the contracted guardians of her younger sisters seemed to look at her strangely, as if they wanted to eat her. She couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, wondering if the Beast Taming Bell had a great influence on the demon cultivators, causing them to suffer great pain, and therefore resented her.

Guo Lingli secretly decided that she would try not to use the beast-taming bell in the future, so as not to bring unnecessary pain to others. So, she began to practice the seed-inducing technique. This is an extremely delicate spell that requires the practitioner to be extremely careful in order to grasp the essence of it. Guo Lingli held her breath and focused her attention on the seeds in her hand, feeling them gradually growing embryos under her stimulation, and then slowly growing.

In fact, Guo Lingli was not proficient in the spells to stimulate the growth of seeds. She only knew to concentrate her mind on the seeds, and tried to make the seeds glow with vitality with the warm sunlight above her head and the warm water in her hands. She held the seeds in both hands, with an expectant light in her eyes, as if she was having a silent conversation with the seeds.

Mo Yan stood quietly by the side, looking at her deeply. As Guo Lingli's contracted guardian, he should have given her some guidance to help her master this spell faster. However, he chose to remain silent. He wanted to see how far Guo Lingli could realize through her own efforts without his help.

Just like when he taught her the mantra for taming beasts, Mo Yan knew Guo Lingli's intelligence and sharpness. That time, she realized the truth that the strong are respected just by the mantra, which made him look at her potential with new eyes. What kind of surprise will he bring her this time?

Jiang Shan was watching Guo Lingli from the side, full of doubts. He didn't expect Guo Lingli to have really learned the seed-inducing technique, which could only be done by people with wood spiritual roots. Could it be that Guo Lingli had pure wood spiritual roots? But, had she already drawn Qi into her body? Did she sense the existence of spiritual energy? Most people here were only in the acquired realm, at most the innate realm, how could she directly draw Qi into her body and reach the spiritual realm?

Jiangshan could not help but wink at Hua Xiangu, Zhao Ying's contracted guardian, and signaled her to take advantage of the break to test Guo Lingli. However, Mo Yan immediately noticed Jiangshan's intention, and he flashed and directly blocked Hua Xiangu, blocking her interference with Guo Lingli with a firm look.

At the same time, Mo Yan also looked at Jiang Shan, with a hint of warning in his eyes. It seemed to say: "Guo Lingli is my person, don't even think about interfering." Although his tone was calm, the firmness and determination in it could not be ignored.

Guo Lingli had no idea about the subtle confrontation between the adults. She was completely immersed in the joy of the seeds sprouting again. She carefully held the seeds in her hands, her eyes sparkling with excitement. She walked to Mo Yan and asked excitedly, "How is it? How is it? Mo Yan, look at the seeds I stimulated this time. Although they are not as powerful as my second sister Fengli, I still succeeded!"

Seeing Mo Yan blocking her attempt, Hua Xiangu was a little disappointed. She secretly glanced at Jiang Shan, and saw him gently shaking his head, signaling her not to act rashly. Hua Xiangu understood in her heart, and quietly returned to Zhao Ying's side, no longer disturbing Guo Lingli.

Mo Yan looked at Guo Lingli's excitement and couldn't help feeling relieved. He smiled and said to Guo Lingli: "Yes, you are amazing! How did you do it?"

Guo Lingli thought about it seriously, and then answered: "I just think that the grass outside needs sunlight and water, right? Oh! Oh, and soil, no wonder the seeds in my hand only sprouted. Without soil, of course they can't grow." As she said that, her eyes suddenly lit up, as if she thought of something, and hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, I'll grab some more soil right away."

At this moment, Guo Liuli's contracted guardian Yulong couldn't help but burst out laughing. He looked at Guo Lingli and said jokingly, "What do you think immortal magic is? Is it so easy to learn?" As he said that, he casually threw a seed at the feet of Qingzhu.

Qingzhu understood, but he didn't make any obvious movements, just stood there quietly. However, something amazing happened. The seed seemed to be touched by fairy spirit, and it quickly sprouted and grew, and soon it grew into a small sapling.

Guo Lingli was stunned. She thought it was amazing. She clapped her hands and shouted excitedly, "This is good, this is good! Can you teach me?" Her eyes were full of yearning and desire for the magic of the immortals.

Everyone present gathered around and formed a tight circle, their eyes all focused on Qingzhu, as if expecting to witness the birth of a miracle. Qingzhu stood there quietly, wearing a green shirt, like a breeze in the bamboo forest. He waved his fingers lightly, and it seemed as if an invisible force was surging in the air, causing the surrounding airflow to tremble slightly.

Suddenly, an ordinary seed appeared in his hand. It was originally dim, but under the power of Qingzhu, it began to emit a faint light. The light became brighter and brighter, as if there was life jumping in it. Then, the seed began to sprout rapidly, and the growth speed was astonishing. Only to see the tender shoots break through the soil, and the branches and leaves quickly unfolded, as if a sapling grew up in an instant.

Finally, the sapling stood tall in the amazed eyes of the crowd, its branches and leaves were emerald green, exuding vitality. The air seemed to be filled with the fresh fragrance of plants, making people feel the vitality from nature.

Everyone was stunned and exclaimed in amazement. Jiang Shan took the opportunity to step forward and said in a loud voice: "If you want to reach the level of Qingzhu's magic, you must first know whether you have spiritual roots."

"What are spiritual roots?" someone in the crowd asked puzzledly.

"What are spiritual roots?" others echoed.

Jiang Shan smiled slightly and explained: "Spiritual roots are the foundation for practicing magic. Only those who have spiritual roots can sense the spiritual energy between heaven and earth and practice powerful magic."

Some of the demon cultivators present naturally knew what spiritual roots were, and they were not surprised by this. But for most people, this concept was completely new. They discussed it one after another, wanting to know more about spiritual roots.

At this time, the demon cultivators saw that everyone was so curious about magic, so they consciously retreated to the outer circle, leaving the middle position to those who were really interested in magic. They knew that in the eyes of everyone, magic might be very mysterious, but for them, the demon cultivators who had practiced for many years, it was already very insignificant.

Jiangshan looked at Mo Yan, as if asking: "Do you want to explain it, or should I?" Mo Yan nodded slightly, motioning Jiangshan to continue.
