Chapter 282 Testing Spiritual Roots
"Test?" Wei Beibei asked doubtfully.
Zhang Yuan pulled Wei Beibei forward while explaining , "Yes, I don't know the details either, I just know that the immortal is testing something."
After saying this, he said excitedly, "Let's go faster and get to Qingfei Town. If we are selected, we will really soar into the sky!"
"Yeah!" Wei Beibei was very excited when she heard this and nodded desperately
As they spoke, the two of them quickly ran away.
Looking at their leaving figures and hearing the word "immortal", the traveling body had a look of surprise on his face.
"Immortal, isn't this a world for practicing martial arts?"
With this doubt, he couldn't help but move his feet and quietly followed the direction the two people left.
He wanted to see what was going on with the immortal.
High in the sky, Su Yun heard the prompt sound and saw the traversal body chasing after him. He was also alert and murmured, "Finally, we met again..."
If there is anything in this world that he values, it must be immortals.
Thinking of this, he stared closely at the time traveler, ready to see what would happen next.
The figure of the time-traveling body was like a ghost, following the two people quietly and silently, moving forward.
One kilometer...
Three kilometers...
When we had walked about five kilometers, we saw many black-tiled buildings in front of us and the sound of lively voices.
I saw a lot of people gathered together in front of me, and I didn’t know what they were doing.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Yuan's eyes lit up immediately, "Here!"
As he said that, he pulled Wei Beibei and rushed over.
The time traveler who was quietly following behind them narrowed his eyes and glanced at the crowd in the distance. When he found that he could not see anything because of the wall of people, he could not help but walk over.
After he used his internal energy to squeeze in, he saw a high platform in front of him, with two men and one woman sitting cross-legged on the platform. The men were handsome and the woman was pretty.
All three of them were wearing white robes with wide sleeves, which made them look ethereal and as if they could float away with the wind.
In front of them was a long line, including rich people in gorgeous clothes and beggars in tattered clothes.
They stepped forward one by one and stretched out their hands to press something in front of the three mysterious men in white.
It was a black compass placed on a jade table.
At this time, a ragged, thin, and dirty child came forward, reached out and touched the black compass.
In the next second, a colorful light of gold, red, green, yellow, blue and other colors burst out.
Seeing this strange sight, the men and women standing in the long line, as well as the hundreds of people watching around, all exclaimed in surprise the next second.
“So beautiful and magical.”
"The immortal's methods are indeed powerful!"
"Is this the spiritual root that the immortals mentioned?"
Just as they were talking and the little beggar on the platform was showing a proud and surprised look on his face, the middle-aged man sitting cross-legged in the middle among the two men and one woman opened his eyes.
He glanced at the colorful light, then glanced at the little beggar, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, and said lightly, "Ordinary, with mixed spiritual roots of the five elements, can be an outer sect disciple."
After he finished speaking, the little beggar, who had been feeling proud and happy, suddenly froze in his face, and his heart was filled with disappointment.
He originally thought he was very powerful, but he didn't expect...
Is it ordinary?
Of course, although he was very disappointed, he still pulled himself together and smiled, "Thank you, Immortal, I do!"
"Well, stand aside."
The middle-aged man gestured to the right with his eyes, then closed his eyes without looking at the little beggar again, as if he was not worthy of attention at all.
The little beggar's face froze, and he walked a few meters to the right. Then he turned around and watched other people being tested with disappointment.
The next person was a young man in gorgeous clothes. After he stood in the position of the little beggar, he first fanned with his hands, as if he was driving away some bad smell.
The little beggar's face froze, his heart was filled with anger, and he clenched his fists quietly, but he didn't dare to do anything. The long-standing class gap made him dare not express his dissatisfaction.
The young man Sun Xuan glanced at the little beggar with disdain, then proudly placed his hand on the test compass.
The moment he put it on, anticipation appeared in his eyes.
In his opinion, even a little beggar has the so-called spiritual roots, so how could he, who is more noble, not have them?
It should even be much better than that little beggar!
However, just as he was thinking this, he placed his hand on the compass for a few seconds, but the compass did not react at all.
"What's going on? Is this compass broken?"
Sun Xuan spoke in surprise.
The middle-aged man Zhang Yujin glanced at him and said coldly, "You have no spiritual roots, so leave."
"What kind of spiritual roots are there?" Sun Xuan asked blankly.
The middle-aged man's voice became even colder, "You don't have spiritual roots."
Sun Xuan was stunned when he heard this, and retorted in surprise, "Impossible, I am the son of a wealthy family. Even a beggar has spiritual roots, how could I not have any!"
"I……"
He was about to say something, but before he could finish, he heard a cold snort, and then he flew up and fell heavily towards the bottom of the platform.
With a scream, the young man rolled over on the ground and wailed, apparently he was seriously injured.
The people around him gasped in shock, looking at Zhang Xianren with fear in their eyes.
Immortal Zhang snorted again and glanced at them with a slightly cold look, as if to say that this would be the consequence of being so presumptuous.
After this incident, the rioting crowd calmed down and no longer dared to think of making trouble. They looked at Zhang Xianren with fear in their eyes.
Next, one person after another came forward to test their spiritual roots.
What surprised hundreds of people was that the next ten people in a row were without spiritual roots, and it was not until the eleventh one that a colorful light appeared.
Zhang Yujin gave the girl who was creating the colorful light a look and said calmly, "She is just average, with mixed spiritual roots of the five elements. She can be an outer sect disciple."
The girl's expression fell and she walked dejectedly to the little beggar.
After testing more than thirty people, Zhang Yujin and the other two frowned when they found that except for a few who had five elements of spiritual roots, the rest had no spiritual roots.
Among them, the slim and pretty Meng Li sighed, "It is indeed a remote little place. There is not even a decent spiritual root. It is all crooked and ugly!"
"Who said it wasn't?" The last person, a thin and handsome man named Jin Jing, also shook his head when he heard this.
Just as they were discussing this, a three-colored light suddenly lit up, attracting the attention of the three people.
Standing in front of the compass was a beautiful girl dressed in pink, who looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old.
At this moment, the compass was shining with green, red and gold.
"Three spiritual roots?"
A slightly surprised sound came out of their mouths the next moment.
After saying that, the three of them turned their gazes to the girl with admiration in their eyes.
Zhang Yujin smiled slightly, "Yes, having the aptitude of three spiritual roots is already quite good among mortals."
What he didn't even say was that even the three of them only had three spiritual roots.
It is considered good luck that we can find someone with three spiritual roots this time. Normally, there may not even be someone with three spiritual roots.
"Yes, just stand beside us."
Zhang Yujin said lightly.
This kind of person with three spiritual roots has the potential to become the backbone of the future immortal sect, which is enough to make him look at him differently.
When Wei Beibei heard this, excitement showed on her face. She turned her head excitedly to look at Zhang Yuan, then slowly moved to stand beside Zhang Yujin and the other two.
Seeing where she was standing, the hundreds of people watching below the stage were envious. The little beggar and others who had detected their spiritual roots were even more jealous.
At this time, the test continued, and the person at the back of the line was Zhang Yuan. He walked forward and put his hand on the compass.
The next second, four colors of light shone out!
Zhang Yujin and others, who were originally attracted by the three spiritual roots, had a hint of surprise in their eyes.
After the three spiritual roots, there comes another four spiritual roots?
Although it is not as good as the three spiritual roots, it is much better than the five elements of mixed spiritual roots.
Zhang Yujin nodded slightly, noticing that the man seemed to be with Wei Beibei, and motioned for him to stand beside him as well.
Then, the testing continued.
In the crowd, watching each person coming forward to be tested, the traversal body was surprised at the so-called spiritual roots, hesitated for a moment, and prepared to go for a test as well.
"I wonder what kind of spiritual roots I have?" He looked expectant and stood at the end of the team.
Before long, it was his turn. When he saw the time-traveling body coming forward, he instantly attracted everyone's attention.
There was no other reason, it was just that the appearance of the time traveler was so ugly that they had to pay attention to it.
All of a sudden, there were some discussions and laughter, and even the three immortals on the platform had a flash of disgust in their eyes.
The time traveler was almost used to it and simply ignored the strange looks and put his hand on the black compass.
Under his expectant gaze, nothing unusual happened to the compass.
"No spiritual roots, go down."
Zhang Yujin glanced at him indifferently, then closed his eyes.
The other two were similar, just useless mortals without spiritual roots, not worth paying attention to at all.
"How come?"
The traveling body was slightly stunned.
I don’t even have any spiritual roots?
When he thought of this, his heart was filled with complex and indescribable emotions.
He originally thought that he would be the special one, but he didn't expect ...
He slowly walked down the platform.
Even in the sky, Su Qi was slightly stunned at this moment.
He also didn't expect that the time-traveling body would have no spiritual roots!
As the time-traveling body walked down the platform, people around him looked at him with mocking eyes. They all thought that he was daydreaming. He actually wanted to have spiritual roots?
When they saw him step down from the stage, except for a few people on the podium who looked at him a few more times out of curiosity because of his ugly appearance, the rest didn't even look at him.
The three immortals who were sitting cross-legged didn't even glance at him, treating him as a passerby.
After looking for a while, the time traveler left here dejectedly.
As he walked out of the town, he murmured, "Are there really immortals in this world? Immortal cultivators?"
Thinking about it, he couldn't help but think back to those three people.
Just now when he was on the stage, he felt a strong sense of threat from those three people.
It was obvious that any one of those three could pose a threat to him.
"Why don't I have that spiritual root?"
The traversing body fell silent.
Just as he was passing by an alley with a lonely look on his face, a mysterious voice suddenly rang out.
"So the thing is here. I have been looking for it for nothing..."
Hearing the mysterious voice, the time traveler was immediately startled and thought of something instantly.
It's him, the mysterious man!
When he thought of this, he was immediately filled with vigilance, and subconsciously activated the internal energy in his body to defend himself.
However, just as the internal energy formed an air shield covering his body surface, an unknown object easily penetrated the air shield and stabbed straight towards his head.
At the same time, a mysterious voice sounded in surprise, "A mortal?"
The next second, the time traveler felt a pain in the head, then his vision went dark and his consciousness slowly became blurred.
How could I... die at the hands of this man again...
The time traveler's eyes widened, filled with resentment.
He had clearly trained his martial arts to the limit and reached the innate great perfection, but he was still as fragile and powerless to resist?
Before his consciousness completely disappeared, he heard a mysterious voice again asking in surprise, "Internal Qi shield, the innate nature of mortals?"
"Or is it the innate great perfection?"
"A teenager who has reached the highest level of innate perfection... It seems that this mortal has some secrets..."
From the words, one could tell that the owner of the voice was a little surprised.
But the next second, the tone of surprise suddenly changed and became full of disdain.
"But that's all. Haha, mortals are just mortals after all. They are as weak as ants and fragile. Even if they reach the innate great perfection, they are still waste..."
Before the time-traveling body had finished listening, its consciousness fell into complete darkness.
High in the sky.
Su Qi frowned tightly, "He died again?"
"Or die at the hands of the same enemy?"
Thinking about this, he looked around the death scene and didn't find out where the attack came from, nor did he see any human figures.
Once again, I died without seeing the enemy?
This time, not to mention the time-traveling body was unwilling, even he felt a little uncomfortable.
“I didn’t expect that even with these two golden talents, the Son of Luck and the Reincarnation of the Martial Saint, I still couldn’t escape the deadlock…”
Su Qi frowned and murmured, "What about next time? Can I get a stronger talent? Can I change the dead end twice in a row?"
"Or not to pick up the jade slip?"
He felt a little unsure.
As he thought about it, he sighed secretly.
What will happen in the end, we can only wait and see next time. Maybe the fate of death can be changed next time...
At this time, a prompt sounded.
[This life simulation has ended, exiting...]
Su Qi stared deeply at the death scene which was empty and had no enemies.
The next second, everything in front of his eyes became blurry, and he returned to his old home which was brightly lit by the sun.
The prompt sound continues.
[The harvest of this exercise has been distributed, as follows: ...]
