Chapter 5: Chapter 5 What kind of spiritual root is Junior Brother Ye?
Fei reached out and opened the wooden box.
After opening the wooden box, six things appeared in front of him.
A sword, two books, a jade vase, an identity jade plaque, a gray robe and a cloth bag.
Ye Fei glanced at these six things one by one, and reached out to lift the cloth bag.
After opening it, he found that inside were pieces of milky white stone the size of quail eggs.
He poured all the stones out of the bag and counted them carefully. There were twenty stones in total.
"This should be the spiritual stone that dad often talks about."
Looking at these stones, Ye Fei quickly remembered some stories that Ye Canglong once told him.
Although they were in the countryside, Ye Canglong would often tell him stories about immortal masters.
There are flying swords, spiritual stones and storage bags in the story.
Before today, Ye Fei only listened to the stories told by Ye Canglong as stories.
But through today's experience, Ye Fei knew that the stories Ye Canglong told before might be true.
At least today, he saw with his own eyes what he had heard in stories before.
Putting these spiritual stones into his bag again, Ye Fei picked up the two books.
These two books, one is a life manual for Xiaoyao Sect disciples, and the other is a cultivation method.
Ye Fei first picked up the disciple's life manual and read it.
In just a quarter of an hour, Ye Fei read the entire life manual.
Through the life manual, Ye Fei knew that Xiaoyao Sect disciples could use spirit stones to exchange for food and various cultivation needs in the Duobao Pavilion on the mountain.
In addition, you can also use spiritual stones to buy some grain and medicinal seeds and plant them in the spiritual fields outside the cave.
The mature medicinal materials can not only complete the sect's tasks, but can also be exchanged for some spiritual stones for one's own cultivation.
The outer disciples of Xiaoyao Sect will receive a monthly salary of five low-grade spiritual stones. Of course, this requires the disciples to complete the sect's tasks.
Xiaoyao Sect also takes special care of those disciples who have not succeeded in practicing Qi. There will be a three-month assessment period.
During the assessment period, the monthly salary will be paid as usual, but the disciple is not required to complete the sect's tasks.
After the assessment period is over, those who have not completed the Qi refining will be expelled from Xiaoyao Sect.
Disciples who successfully refine their qi need to complete sect tasks every month to be eligible to receive that month's monthly salary.
"It seems that you have to seize the time to practice, otherwise you will be kicked out of Xiaoyaomen."
Putting down the life manual, Ye Fei picked up the practice book.
Looking at the four characters "The True Secret of Freedom" on the cover, Ye Fei's heart surged, he stood up and walked into the bedroom.
Ye Fei knew that whether he could become an immortal master and whether he could stay in Xiaoyao Sect all depended on this technique.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Ye Fei calmed down and then opened the first page of "The True Secret of Xiaoyao".
""Xiaoyao Zhenjue" was created by Xiaoyao Zhenren, the founder of Xiaoyao Sect. It is divided into twelve volumes. The first three volumes can be used to refine Qi and escape from the world, the last three volumes can strengthen the body and build the foundation, the third volume can condense Yuan into elixir, and the last three volumes can Breaking the elixir and transforming it into a baby..."
The first page is the introduction to "The True Secret of Xiaoyao". Although Ye Fei doesn't know what level this technique is, but if he can practice it to Yuanying, it should be of a high level.
It is a pity that the "True Secret of Xiaoyao" in his hand is only the first three volumes. If he wants to get the later ones, he needs to reach the level of foundation building.
These things are mentioned in the life manual.
Only after your cultivation reaches a certain level can you go to the door to receive higher-level skills.
After Ye Fei carefully read through "The True Secret of Xiaoyao", he began to hold his breath and concentrate on practicing seriously according to the contents of the first volume.
Qi training is divided into four steps, namely sensing qi, receiving qi, moving qi and gathering qi.
The first thing Ye Fei does is sense Qi.
In addition to text descriptions, this formula also has illustrations to guide him, so he didn't have much difficulty understanding it.
Although he had mixed spiritual roots, he still had spiritual roots. Under the operation of the formula in his body, he felt the spiritual energy in the air in just half a quarter of an hour.
The first step of feeling Qi, he did it easily.
But when Ye Fei started the second step of collecting Qi, the disadvantage of the mixed spirit root became apparent.
The process of receiving Qi is the process of absorbing spiritual energy. Due to his poor spiritual root qualifications, although there is a lot of spiritual energy in the air, it is very mixed. When he absorbs and transforms it, the efficiency is extremely low.
It can only absorb and transform a little bit at a time.
And the little spiritual power he transformed couldn't support him in opening up the meridians in his body.
How can we gather Qi if we can't open up the meridians?
"Am I really not suitable for cultivation?"
An hour later, Ye Fei sighed and stopped practicing.
At this time, the sky was completely dark.
"Am I so useless?"
When he came to the courtyard and looked up at the stars, Ye Fei felt a deep sense of frustration.
But as soon as this feeling appeared, he couldn't help but tremble.
"No, this is just the beginning, we must not back down."
"Since I can go from having no spiritual roots to having mixed spiritual roots, then there must be a way to improve my mixed spiritual roots."
"I must succeed in refining my qi. I cannot live up to my father's expectations, let alone waste the jade token he bought with his eyes."
Standing in the courtyard, Ye Fei looked determined and his heart was full of fighting spirit.
After calming down, he turned around and returned to the cave.
Although Ye Fei had a strong will, he was still in a mortal body after all. Coupled with the fatigue along the way, his stomach was already empty and he started to grunt.
Fortunately, there was water and rice here. Ye Fei simply made some rice porridge and fell asleep after eating it.
Compared to sleeping in the wilderness, the conditions here were much better. Not long after he lay down, he started breathing evenly.
In his sleep, Ye Fei saw Ye Canglong and saw him standing at the entrance of Qinglong Valley, constantly waving to him.
Then, Ye Canglong's voice reached his ears.
"Fei'er, come to Qinglongyuan, there is something there to make you stronger."
"Fei'er, come to Qinglongyuan, there is something there to make you stronger."
…
Over and over again, on and on.
"father!"
At some point, Ye Fei suddenly woke up with a whisper in his sleep and sat up suddenly.
At this time, it was already bright outside the cave.
"What a strange dream."
Thinking back to the scene in his dream, Ye Fei murmured in his heart.
He didn't know why he had such a dream, let alone why Ye Canglong knew about the existence of Qinglongyuan.
In fact, after knowing that he had spiritual roots, Ye Fei thought of the five fruits he had eaten in Qinglong Valley.
Ye Fei knew that the appearance of his spiritual roots must be related to those five fruits. Qinglong Valley was definitely extraordinary.
But it's useless for him to know. He doesn't know the specific location of Qinglongyuan at all.
Even if he knew the location of Qinglongyuan, with his current ability, it would be difficult for him to move even an inch in the hinterland of Qingsong Mountain where monsters are everywhere. He would be eaten by the monsters if he could not reach Qinglongyuan.
If he wants to go to Qinglongyuan, he must at least reach the second or third level of Qi Refining.
Thinking of this, Ye Fei sighed, grabbed some food, sat cross-legged on the bed again, and started practicing.
In this way, it was not until the tenth day, when half the bag of rice in the house was eaten, that Ye Fei stopped.
"Still no progress at all."
Feeling that his body had not changed at all, Ye Fei felt a little melancholy.
During these ten days, he was not lazy at all. Apart from eating and sleeping, he practiced non-stop every day.
Even so, he still didn't make any breakthrough.
Not only that, every time he fell asleep, the scene in his previous dream would keep repeating, which made him extremely annoyed.
In desperation, he had no choice but to walk out of the cave and climb up the mountain.
He was going to buy some food and ask Li Zaitian for advice on cultivation.
In his opinion, Li Zaitian was so enthusiastic when they first met, and this would definitely help.
"Is Senior Brother Li here?"
At the top of the peak, Ye Fei went directly to the Jieyin Pavilion and asked respectfully towards the pavilion.
As soon as Ye Fei finished speaking, a young man in white clothes with a cold expression walked out of the Jieyin Pavilion and shouted sharply at Ye Fei:
"How dare you, my master, a mere mortal like you can make such random noises."
This young man is six feet tall, has fair skin, a straight nose, slightly slanted eyebrows, and a sense of arrogance all over his body.
Looking at his clothes, he could tell that he was an inner disciple or Li Zaitian's disciple.
"Yishan, don't be rude. This is your Uncle Ye. Please invite him in quickly."
Li Zaitian's voice came from inside.
"Uncle Master?"
"A mortal ant is my uncle?"
The young man in white frowned slightly, a little unbelievable.
However, he did not dare to disobey Li Zaitian's order and had to retreat.
Seeing this, Ye Fei shook his head helplessly and walked in.
"I've met Senior Brother Li."
Entering the Jieyin Pavilion and seeing Li Zaitian sitting in the main seat, Ye Fei hurriedly stepped forward and bowed his hands.
"Junior brother Ye, you're welcome."
"I wonder what you want from me?"
Li Zaitian smiled lightly, glanced at Ye Fei who was standing in front of him, and asked with interest.
"I would like to ask Senior Brother Li for some advice on some matters regarding cultivation."
Ye Fei nodded and explained the problems he encountered.
"oh?"
"What spiritual root does Junior Brother Ye have?"
After listening to Ye Fei's explanation, Li Zaitian raised his eyebrows and asked curiously.
"Miscellaneous spiritual roots."
Ye Fei said sarcastically.
Hearing Ye Fei's words, Li Zaitian couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, and the young man in white standing next to him burst into laughter.
Then the young man muttered in a low voice: "It turns out he is a waste."
Although his voice was small, both Ye Fei and Ye Fei heard it.
This made Ye Fei's cheeks feel a little hot, but he didn't say anything, just gritted his teeth secretly.
Li Zaitian just glared at the young man, adjusted his mood, smiled slightly at Ye Fei, and explained:
"Junior Brother Ye might as well hold a spiritual stone in his hand while practicing. Maybe the effect will be better."
After saying that, he closed his eyes and stopped talking.
His attitude towards Ye Fei was different from before.
Seeing this, Ye Fei sighed in his heart, bowed his hands to Li Zaitian, turned around and left Jie Yin Pavilion.
Then, he spent a low-grade spiritual stone to buy a bag of rice from Baibao Pavilion, and then returned to the cave.
What Ye Fei didn't know was that after he left Jieying Pavilion, the young man began to complain in front of Li Zaitian.
"Master, this kid is just a miscellaneous spirit. Why are you so polite to him?"
The young man looked at the direction Ye Fei left with a look of disdain and contempt.
He has been practicing for so long, but he has never heard of an immortal cultivator calling a mortal his uncle.
For him, a genius with two spiritual roots, to call Ye Fei, a mortal uncle, is simply an insult to him.
"No matter what, he is the registered disciple of the Supreme Elder, so he still has to give him some face."
Li Zaitian shook his head and said.
He also didn't expect that Ye Fei turned out to be a miscellaneous spirit root.
No wonder the Supreme Elder would put him at the outer gate. He didn't want Ye Fei to come here to practice. He just wanted Ye Fei to retire here.
After all, even if one cultivates the miscellaneous spirit roots to death, it is impossible to build a foundation.
"snort!"
"It's just a miscellaneous spiritual root. It is said that he is a registered disciple. He was just left by the woman to fend for himself in the outer gate. Master, there is no need to worry."
"Besides, what if this boy is deeply loved by that woman?"
"It won't be long before the masters from the sect attack, and that woman may not be able to protect herself. Maybe the master will become the master of the Xiaoyao sect in the future."
"Wouldn't the entire Xiaoyao Sect respect you then?"
"So, you don't need to give that kid face. He is just an ant. Even now, we can handle him at will."
"So what if I kill him?"
"With that woman's temperament, since she left this boy outside, it means that she has no intention of training him. We will just kill him. As long as we don't make it public, the woman won't care."
The young man snorted coldly and said somewhat proudly.
"This is a critical period, you'd better be careful."
"That thing is too overbearing. You have to keep it well and don't take it out if nothing happens. It will affect your xinxing."
"It's not convenient for me to meet the young master. When the young master comes, you have to hand that thing into the young master's hands safely."
Li Zaitian glanced at the young man and said seriously.
"Master, don't worry, there will be no problem with the things in my hands."
The young man didn't think so.
Of course Ye Fei didn't know what the two said and how they demeaned him.
However, even if he knew it, he might not care about it.
His current thought is just to complete Qi refining as soon as possible.
After returning to the cave, Ye Fei sat cross-legged on the bed again.
"Hopefully it will work."
Ye Fei held a spiritual stone in one hand and his heart was full of expectations.
