Brother, other settings have collapsed again

Chapter 3 Three Spiritual Roots

After class, in Xuanmingmen's junior school, a group of half-grown children were chattering and playing together.

Suddenly, rows of small heads poked out the window and looked at Handai in the distant mountains. Under the clear blue sky, a tall boy with a cold and indifferent temperament was leading a child who was about their age. , slowly walking towards this side.And their teacher ran out all the way to greet them.

"Who is that big brother?"

"do not know."

"It looks great."

"The teachers went out to greet them in person."

The person at the center of the children's topic was none other than the chief disciple of Xuanming Sect, Sikong Lingyun of Qingshan Peak.

"Mr. Lao is here."

"Ah, I dare not..." Mr. Lu, who teaches elementary school children, said awkwardly: "Young master, I don't know if this child is..."

Sikong Lingyun glanced at him indifferently, and said: "In the sect, you don't need to call me like that."

Mr. Lu was taken aback for a moment, and then he remembered that the identity of Young Master Sikong in this Xuanming Sect must be kept strictly confidential.He couldn't help sweating at the moment.He hurriedly said: "It's the old slave who was negligent..."

A Chen heard the conversation between Sikong Lingyun and the old gentleman, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.But he is not a person who is overly curious, so he didn't ask too much.Still quietly staying beside Sikong Lingyun, neither causing trouble nor adding trouble.

Sikong Lingyun looked sideways at Ah Chen, but didn't explain who he was, but said to Mr. Lu: "You don't have to take care of him."

In the elementary class school, children from ordinary families are mixed with young masters from aristocratic families, and taking special care of them will make this child wince and be excluded.

Mr. Lu understood it, nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes yes yes... I understand."

Sikong Lingyun nodded and said no more.After handing Ah Chen to Mr. Lu, when he was about to leave, his sleeve suddenly seemed to be pulled lightly by something.

He looked away, and it was Ah Chen who looked at him firmly, "I will definitely go to Qingshan Peak to look for you in a year's time."

Sikong Lingyun was stunned for a moment, but it was only an instant.His originally indifferent eyes were imperceptibly stained with a smile.

He said, "Okay, I'll wait for you."

Ah Chen solemnly said: "I will definitely."

He watched Sikong Lingyun's figure gradually disappear under the distant mountains beside the clouds, and he slowly looked away until he could no longer see him.

Mr. Lu's mind was still a little dazed. Although the conversation between Ah Chen and Sikong Lingyun just now was only a few sentences, he actually saw a patient and gentle side that he had never seen before in the young master.

Mr. Lu decided that this child was absolutely extraordinary to the young master!Although Mr. Lu kept in mind what Sikong Lingyun told him not to take extra care of A Chen, he did not dare to neglect him.

Seeing that Ah Chen didn't recover for a long time, he coughed in embarrassment, "That, is it called Lu Jiuxiao? Cough cough, Jiuxiao, class is about to start. Let's go, it's time to go to class."

Ah Chen nodded, and obediently followed Mr. Lu away.

For the new student Lu Jiuxiao, Mr. Lu didn't give too much introduction. He pointed out a place for him to sit, and the formal class began.

"In the last class, we talked about the attributes of cultivating spiritual roots. I believe everyone has a certain understanding of spiritual roots. Today, let's test our own attributes of spiritual roots." Mr. Lu said slowly: "After you Next to my desk, there is a spiritual root instrument, which can be used to test your spiritual root attributes. How to operate it... Come on, the first one in the first row on the left, you come up, I will teach you, and give a demonstration to the students .”

Child No. [-] was born as a commoner. Hearing this, he came forward a little bit nervously, and put his hand on the spirit root instrument according to Mr. Lu's instructions.After waiting for a few seconds, three rays of light gradually appeared on the spiritual root instrument, representing the three spiritual roots of water, wood and earth respectively, which turned out to be true spiritual roots.

Mr. Lu stroked his beard and said, "It's pretty good. You have plenty of spiritual root attributes, and your cultivation speed will be faster in the future. Tomorrow, you can go to the 'Water Element, Wood Element, and Earth Element' classes. I listened."

No. [-] heard the words, his eyes lit up and said: "The student understands."

"Well." Mr. Lu looked at the students below, and said, "Once the other students have tested their spiritual root attributes, they will also go to the corresponding class tomorrow, you know?"

The students replied that they understood one after another, and they all began to test their spiritual root attributes nervously and expectantly with the spiritual root instrument.

Ah Chen also put his hands on the spiritual root instrument as the previous demonstration on No. [-], closed his eyes, and waited quietly for a few seconds.Opening his eyes again, there was no light on the spiritual root instrument.He frowned, what's going on?Why does his no light appear?Doesn't he have spiritual roots?

Just when Ah Chen started to panic, the Linggen Instrument suddenly reacted, emitting light from it.One, two, three, four...eight, there are eight rays of light in total!These rays of light merged together and gradually turned into chaotic colors.

What does it mean?Ah Chen's heart suddenly became excited: Does this...does this mean that he can practice eight courses?

Just when Ah Chen was still immersed in surprise and joy, a surprised voice suddenly came from his ear, it was Mr. Lu who looked at him strangely, and sighed: "You...why are you a mixed bag of eight departments?" Lingen?"

"Wh...what do you mean?" A Chen wondered, "The more 'spiritual roots' you have, the better?"

Mr. Lu suddenly paused, Ah Chen just came here to study today, and he didn't know that the less spiritual roots he had in the cultivation world, the better, the purer the color of the spiritual roots, the faster his cultivation speed.

And Lu Jiuxiao's spiritual roots are not only numerous and miscellaneous, but also impure in color...

The color on Old Mr. Lu's face is not unimpressive. He thought that the child brought by the young master must be "different" from other children, but he didn't expect that it was this "different", not the "different" of "extraordinary".

Mr. Lu coughed twice in a disguised manner, and said, "Ahem, it's okay. With your spiritual root, although you can't cultivate, but..."

"What? Can't cultivate?" Ah Chen asked anxiously, "Why can't he cultivate? Could it be..."

Ah Chen was born intelligent, and he guessed the answer only from Mr. Lu's hesitant expression. He said with difficulty: "Could it be that the fewer spiritual roots, the better? But I have eight kinds of spiritual roots." The root, the spiritual root is too complicated, it is... difficult to cultivate at all, is it so?"

Mr. Lu looked at him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: This child is so intelligent, but what can I do...

"Hey, you..." Mr. Lu didn't know what to say, so he shook his head and turned around to leave.

Ah Chen's mind was in chaos, did he really... have no talent for cultivation?But he also made an agreement with that brother, one year later, he will definitely go to Qingshan Peak to find him.But now, he was splashed with cold water so quickly and told him that he was not suitable for cultivation at all?

But Ah Chen's mind was confused for a moment, and then he seemed to suddenly understand something——

No, even if I don't have the talent for cultivation, I will never break my promise.

Ah Chen's gaze became very firm in an instant, and he thought to himself: Since he has no talent for cultivation, then he will work a thousand times harder than others!

***

When Sikong Lingyun returned to Qingshan Peak, he found that his master had gone to retreat to practice again!

With his master, he went out of the seclusion just to pick up a protagonist and return to Xuanmingmen?No, to be precise, he was the one who found the protagonist and brought him back.Including bathing the protagonist, eating, going through enrollment procedures, etc. are all done by him!

So, what is the purpose of the original author's writing about Master's trip out of customs?

Looking at the empty Qingshan Peak, which was empty and unpopular, Sikong Lingyun said, this Qingshan Peak is really deserted...

Hmm, I really want a year to pass by quickly.When the protagonist arrives, Qingshan Peak will gain a little more popularity.He doesn't have to be so bored every day, he can chat with a cold system!

The system said: [Am I not human enough? !I have been tortured by you for several years, and now I have even learned emotions! 】

Suddenly, a furious roar of the system popped out of his mind, deeply accusing him of destroying it in all aspects in the past few years, how insane he is!

The corner of Sikong Lingyun's mouth twitched slightly, and he suddenly recalled that when he first crossed, this system was quite similar.There was no ups and downs in the tone, cold and stiff.Now it's a nagging system who yells and scolds him from time to time, and has even learned to sneer, watch the excitement without taking too much trouble, and so on.

This humanization... is going against the sky!

Sikong Lingyun said: [Why do I feel that I am quite awesome?Haha...what's the matter with this sudden sense of pride? 】

system:"……"

[Forget it, I won’t chat with you anymore, I’m going to practice. 】Sikong Lingyun staggered leisurely, ready to go to the back mountain to practice his new cheats.

***

Ink gradually filled the sky, and a few stars broke through the night and peeked out.The moisture of the night permeates the air, cooling the body.

There is a natural cold spring in the back mountain. There are several boulders around the spring, which just cover up the cold spring.Although it is artificial, it does not have an aftertaste in it.

Since Sikong Lingyun started to practice the new cheats that day, he would come to this cold spring in the back mountain every night, taking advantage of the coldness of the spring water to cultivate with all his heart.

Except for people with mutated ice spirit roots like Sikong Lingyun, who are born with a cold physique, there are not many people who can withstand the cold air of this cold spring.Therefore, almost no one will come to "patronize" this cold spring.

But tonight, Sikong Lingyun faintly heard the rustling of footsteps.

But after seeing the boulder, a child came out. The child had delicate features and was very thin.It was Lu Jiuxiao who Sikong Lingyun sent to the elementary class a few days ago.

Because Sikong Lingyun was behind the cold spring stone wall, Ah Chen didn't realize that there was still someone there.

A small stone was lightly thrown into the cold spring, several drops of water were splashed on Sikong Lingyun's face.

he:"……"

The moonlight was clear and light, clearly reflecting on Ah Chen's face.However, Sikong Lingyun's vision and hearing were exceptionally clear and sensitive. Through the hazy moonlight, he could clearly see the redness of Ah Chen's eyes. He seemed to have suffered a deep grievance, but he still forcibly endured it.It seemed to him that even if there was no one here, he would never shed tears easily.

The expression on Ah Chen's face was very focused, and he wanted to try to use the primary spiritual sense time and time again.But no matter how hard he tried, he could only display a little spark, or a few drops of water...

Metal, wood, water, fire, earth, ice, wind, thunder, he tried everything.Although the effect of using it every time is very small, judging from the fact that he has just practiced it now, it is already very good.

But our protagonist doesn't think so, and even feels very depressed because he can only display a small amount of spiritual power.

[Oh, the protagonist, the protagonist.There is a long way to go to cultivate, and it is already very good to be able to reach this level when you have just come into contact with cultivation. 】Sikong Lingyun sighed in his heart: 【Don't rush everything. 】

Unexpectedly, the sigh in his heart was a sigh, and he unconsciously let out a sigh in reality.

This is great, the protagonist listened to it. "Who? Who's there?"

Sikong Lingyun, who had always had a thicker skin than the one at the corner of the city wall, unexpectedly felt a little embarrassed.He coughed, and had no choice but to emerge from behind the stone wall, cross the water and come out.

"Si...Brother Sikong?" Ah Chen saw that the person walking from the cold spring was actually Sikong Lingyun, and couldn't help feeling a little at a loss.

"Practicing the introductory basics?"

"You...you have seen it?" Ah Chen's cheeks were slightly flushed due to embarrassment, "I can't even learn the basics, so I made you laugh..."

Sikong Lingyun was taken aback for a moment, remembering that in the original book, when the protagonist just arrived in the elementary class, he was laughed at by his classmates because of the first spiritual root test.After that, he was ridiculed and humiliated by all kinds of words, and was bullied miserably, but he could only swallow his anger.

Seeing the protagonist with a few bruises on his face, Sikong Lingyun frowned slightly, with an inexplicable emotion in his heart.He touched Ah Chen's face lightly, and the other party was startled suddenly, obviously he did not expect him to do this.

"Does it still hurt?"

Sikong Lingyun's fingertips were very cold, but what he touched seemed to spark a little spark.This time, for some unknown reason, Ah Chen's face was so red that it was about to bleed.

His gaze moved up, and it happened to meet Sikong Lingyun's gaze.Perhaps it was because he had just come out of the cold spring, the boy's eyes were very dark, and they were as clean as obsidian in the bottom of the water, shining brightly.The hair on his forehead was still dripping water slightly, and the water dripped along the curve of the hair onto Ah Chen's cheek.

Sikong Lingyun looked at the drops of water on the protagonist's face, and paused slightly——

【System... Do I look like a lagging dog that just crawled out of the water now? 】

【No, to be exact, it's more like a beautiful boy taking a bath. 】But because XX is the kind of person who can shine brightly when given a little sunshine, the system wisely chose to shut up.

"Ahem." Sikong Lingyun didn't get a reply from the system, so he took it as the default.Immediately, he coughed embarrassingly to cover up, and distanced himself from Ah Chen.Looking for something to say: "You are already very good."

"What, what?" Ah Chen asked in confusion, but didn't react for a while.

"You can freely switch between the eight types of spiritual roots, and you are very talented."

Achen smiled wryly and said: "You know you are comforting me... Mr. said that the more complicated the spiritual roots, the more difficult it is to cultivate. If there are more than three spiritual roots, they are basically useless spiritual roots. But I have eight kinds of spiritual roots. It's not suitable for cultivation at all. If it wasn't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be qualified to stay in the academy..."

Sikong Lingyun was taken aback when he heard the words, his eyebrows furrowed unconsciously.Sikong Lingyun's face is more mature, with sharp lines and clear outlines.Compared with his peers, he is less immature as a teenager and more stern as an adult.So when he doesn't smile, he always gives people a cold and harsh feeling, making people afraid to approach him.

At this moment, his face became serious, and there was a terrifying aura hidden in him.

Sikong Lingyun said: "Who said that?"

Looking at his calm face, Ah Chen couldn't help being surprised.He hurriedly said: "No, I'm fine. Brother Sikong, you, don't be angry..."

However, the truth of the matter is...

Ah Chen's face was serious, his eyes were stern, as if Sikong Lingyun was about to emit a terrifying and hostile aura at any time, but at this moment his heart was actually screaming crazily: [Fart!Who said that having eight kinds of spiritual roots is not suitable for cultivation at all!Protagonist, do you know your so-called eight-system miscellaneous spiritual root, to be precise, it is the whole spiritual root!All spiritual roots!Even in one universe, there can't be five!

The whole spiritual root is the best spiritual root in the world!Because it not only cultivates faster than ordinary people, but also can use eight systems of spells, which is very powerful!People with full spiritual roots can also leapfrog the enemy, and even surpass many levels.Once there is a whole spiritual root, there will be great achievements in the future, because they are all chosen by heaven.Did you make it?main character!

Seeing the protagonist being oppressed, this aggrieved feeling is as uncomfortable as ever!Ahhh!I really want to spoil it! 】

Sikong Lingyun looked at Ah Chen, and said firmly: "No, you are different."

"I...me?" Ah Chen couldn't help but feel shocked when he saw Sikong Lingyun's firm expression.

By the cold spring of this boulder, under the cold moonlight, the boy said to his protagonist:

——You will definitely break the rules and become the first person in this cultivation world to cultivate all eight spiritual roots.

(Because you are destined to become a god.)

Ah Chen stared blankly at him, at Sikong Lingyun's dark pupils.Inside, with his figure reflected, Ah Chen's heart twitched slightly.

——You said that I will definitely achieve something.Then... well, I will break this routine and become an unprecedented person in this cultivation world.
