Chapter 59 Testing Spiritual Roots
Lu Shi's mood was somewhat complicated, but he still calmed down his emotions and followed Mr. Luo into the depths of Xianfang.
Along the way, Mr. Luo introduced many things in the village to Lu Shi, all of which were meaningful.
As mentioned before, the Shuangfeng Trail is an entrance reserved for mortals who are destined to live in the world. In fact, the real entrance to the Luo Family Fairy Place is to the north of the Fairy Place, next to a lake more than 20 miles away. It is the entrance for monks to enter and exit.
In addition, there are formations to isolate the inside and outside of the Immortal Workshop. There are formations everywhere in the Immortal Workshop as a defensive force, which is enough to resist the attacks of the monks in the foundation-building stage. It is very safe.
In this way, Lu Shi knew that the realm above Qi Refining was for foundation building, but it was quite different from what he expected.
In addition, there are also important shops directly controlled by the Luo family such as Zhenbao House and Alchemy House in this fairy place. There are also shops opened by other forces in this fairy place. The composition is more complicated, but in the end the whole Xianfang is controlled by the Luo family.
Walking all the way to the central area of Xianfang, you will encounter monks from time to time on the road, both male and female, old and young.
I heard Mr. Luo say that the most important function of this fairy house is not trading, but the right of residence. There are three first-level spiritual veins in the Immortal Workshop that provide spiritual energy, making it very suitable for monks to practice. In addition, there is a large array of protection, which allows many casual cultivators to have a place to practice quietly. The Luo family can also be regarded as a protector.
"That is the area designated for trading by casual cultivators. Many casual cultivators in the market will sell their harvests there, or barter. In short, it is impossible not to have spiritual stones in this immortal workshop. ." Luo Laoyan said.
Lu Shi looked in the direction that Mr. Luo was pointing, and saw a huge open space near a lake. It was already crowded with people. Hundreds of people were setting up stalls, wandering around, asking, and bargaining in the open space.
It was obviously a prosperous scene of the Immortal Family, but what Lu Shi saw there was a market atmosphere.
"Why, do you think that all practitioners are people who live in the open?"
Mr. Luo asked as if he saw what Lu Shi was thinking.
Lu Shi shook his head: "It's just slightly different from what this junior thought."
"Oh, cultivation is all about competing with heaven for your life. Have you seen less fighting among the ordinary people? The killings among the monks are more direct than those among the ordinary people. You need to be careful in the future."
Lu Shi nodded: "Thank you, Mr. Luo, for the tip. This junior will remember it."
When you get here, you can see the bustling place in Xianfang. There are buildings on both sides, there is a faint fragrance of medicine, and there is also a little treasure light emerging. Lu Shi saw someone holding a fluorescent sword enter the building, and then a young female cultivator with extraordinary fabrics was selecting treasures in the hall of a building.
The things sold in those buildings seemed extraordinary to Lu Shi at this time, and it was an eye-opener.
"If you want to live in this fairy house, three spiritual stones per month are indispensable. Over there is the residence of ordinary casual cultivators."
Looking in the direction that Mr. Luo pointed, there were small courtyards distributed in an orderly manner, with monks coming in and out from time to time.
"It's a better place to live over there, and the spiritual energy is more intense. It requires at least ten spiritual stones every month."
Looking at another place, there are mansions, occupying a large area.
"Don't think this place is just a small town, but my Luo family can be considered a big family within a radius of five thousand miles, and there are several foundation-building monks in the family. It's just that the people in my lineage are not obvious, and when it comes to grandson's There are only two juniors with spiritual root qualifications."
As he said that, Mr. Luo shook his head slightly, as if he didn't want to mention it again.
This also let Lu Shi know from the side how rare spiritual roots are. It is so difficult for people in this monk family to give birth to spiritual roots. If this chance was placed in the ordinary world, how rare would it be?
Thinking about it this way, Lu Shi felt that his luck was not bad. It was good luck to be considered one in a million.
Not long after, the two came to a platform in the north of Xianfang. The base of the platform was paved with thick stone bricks, and in the middle of the platform was a huge stone surrounded by a first-class light. And the huge stone is made of white jade, as if it were a whole piece of jade placed here, which is very conspicuous.
A faint fluorescent light appeared around the platform, and streamers of light visible to the naked eye were floating around, forming a faint streamer cover, covering the white jade situation.
"That is a testing platform specially used to test spiritual roots. The stone is called the Star Point Stone. It can reveal a person's qualifications from the Star Point." Luo Lao said.
Lu Shi asked at this time: "May I ask Mr. Luo, how much does this test cost?"
Mr. Luo glanced at him and said unexpectedly: "Do you have a spirit stone?"
Lu Shi shook his head. He didn't intend to expose this.
"Oh, it takes ten spirit stones to spend at one time." Old Luo said.
"Well, this junior doesn't have a spirit stone, what should we do?" Lu Shi immediately looked embarrassed.
"Okay, don't pretend to be in front of me. Since I brought you here, I will pay for the expenses this time. But if your qualifications are not good, you will have to return these ten spirit stones to me."
Mr. Luo had been very kind all the way, but his words at this time were direct, and he seemed to have no intention of really saving Lu Shi the cost of this test.
Lu Shi looked embarrassed, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded heavily.
"Junior understands, thank you Mr. Luo!"
It is true that I value Lu Shi, but this requires a prerequisite. Lu Shi must have enough potential. If the potential is not enough, then the previous suggestions will naturally not count.
Inexplicably, Lu Shi became a little nervous.
Mr. Luo waved his hand, and ten spirit stones were scattered by him, falling into a groove next to the boulder on the platform. Suddenly, the surroundings were filled with fluorescence, and the fluorescence on the boulder became even more brilliant.
"Go up, put your hands on the boulder, and just relax your mind." Old Luo said.
"Yes!"
Lu Shi hurried forward and carefully looked at the white jade-like boulder in front of him, but he could not see anything from it. He only felt that it was filled with light and extraordinary.
Taking a deep breath, Lu Shi put his hand on the boulder and closed his eyes.
In an instant, Lu Shi felt a spiritual energy coming from his palm, and soon it started to swim along his meridians, and then his own breath came out of his body, as if he was echoing some kind of spiritual idea in the huge stone.
Opening his eyes slightly, Lu Shi opened his eyes and saw various colors of light emerging on the boulder, with green and red as the top colors, surrounded by black and yellow, and the four colors were flowing slightly.
Mr. Luo noticed this scene, and his smile faded slightly on his expectant face. He stared at Lu Shi and then said calmly: "With the four spiritual roots of wood, fire, water, and earth, you must return those ten spiritual stones within three months." That’s all I need.”
After saying that, he waved his hand and threw a book towards Lu Shi, and then walked back without looking back.
To be honest, this scene was a bit unexpected for Lu Shi. He didn't expect that Mr. Luo would turn against him so quickly. He had clearly looked warm just now, but now he ignored him in the blink of an eye.
Lu Shi smiled helplessly. Although he had known the warmth and coldness of human nature for a long time, to be honest, such an incident on the first day he entered the practice world really made him aware of the reality and cruelty of the practice world.
"That's good, then you don't need to worry about any accidents."
Lu Shi took the book and was about to take his hand away from the boulder, but at this moment the various colors of light on the boulder changed. In addition to the four colors of green, red, black and yellow, there was actually a bright white color. , and then this bright white color is like an introduction, making the five colors merge into one, turning into a ball of light gray color, chaotic and unclear in powder quality.
"What's wrong?"
Thinking of this, Lu Shi quickly let go of his hand, and the light on the boulder slowly dissipated.
Seeing that the boulder was intact, Lu Shi breathed a sigh of relief.
"But what does the bright white color and the light gray color just now mean?"
Lu Shi couldn't figure out what happened in the middle for a while. In the end, he just didn't think about it. He got down from the platform and looked through the book that Mr. Luo threw to him.
