You cultivate immortality, I cultivate merit

Chapter 1 Origin
Zhongzhou.

On the day after the Beginning of Summer, just after Yin Shi, the candles in the Shi family ancestral hall of the Ningcheng family in Zhongyuan suddenly became brighter, and soon the lights in the main hall next door were also lit.

Today is the day when Yun Yanzong comes to the mortal world to accept disciples from the Shi family.

In various places where the Shi family members lived, many yard lights were turned on one after another, and soon the lights were extinguished again.

It was still early, so Shi Zelan followed his grandfather, one foot high and one foot low, walking towards the direction where the morning star was lit.

When they were about to reach the main hall, they saw many clan members also walking towards the main hall.

In the main hall, the two immortals heard what was going on outside. They listened for a while, and their eyes suddenly brightened. After they looked at each other, the younger immortal spoke.

"Shi Zelan, five years old, come in and test your spiritual roots."

Shi Zelan looked up at her grandfather, saw the encouraging look in his eyes, and stepped into the main hall.

Her grandfather took the opportunity to take a step forward, blocking the people behind him. At this moment, no one could block his granddaughter's path to immortality.

"Shi Zelan, single spiritual root."

Outside the main hall, Shi Zelan's old grandfather was in tears. After four years, his granddaughter could finally return to the sect in a legitimate manner.

The tribesmen waiting outside the main hall also heard the voices coming from inside, and they all started talking in low voices.

"Hey, wasn't she abandoned by the sect? Why did it happen again this time?"

"Sister Lan has just entered. She can go to the sect again."

"You misheard what it said. Her parents' spiritual roots are good, but that doesn't mean she has spiritual roots.

If she had spiritual roots, she would not have been sent back by the sect four years ago. "

"It's true. We just heard that she has a single spirit root this time. Hey, stop talking. They are asking people to come in."

"Stop talking, my uncle is still here."

"Hey, where is my great-uncle?"

In fact, Mr. Shi was still standing in the same place, but the monk in charge of Yunyan Sect had hidden their figures in the formation, and the two were talking.

"Mr. Shi, Lord Fengyuan has given you an explanation. We are coming to take Junior Sister Shi back to the sect this time. I would like to ask you, what else do you have to explain?"

"Has sister Lan, father and mother returned to the sect?"

"They haven't returned to the sect yet."

"Chief Immortal, I feel that my time is coming soon, and I have been looking forward to you taking Sister Lan back to the sect. However, her father and mother are not in the sect. When Sister Lan returns to the sect, I have to ask the Immortal Chief to take good care of her. "

On the forehead of Ningxia, Shi Zelan's father Shi Beichen detected a single spiritual root, and he was a genius. The person who came to pick him up from the sect was Zhenjun Fengyuan. He heard that Zhenjun saw that Mr. Shi had merit and power, so he gave him a gift. He received a longevity pill, allowing him to live an extra two hundred years.

Later, as expected, Senior Brother Shi became a Nascent Soul at a young age of less than 200 years old. However, four years ago when he was traveling, he and Taoist Lover Lou Xueyu both disappeared, leaving only one daughter, Shi Zelan.

This time he came to Ningcheng again, and Ningxia could tell from his appearance that Shi Lao's life was short. No wonder Lord Fengyuan sent a message, asking them to rush to Shijiazhuang today.

A quarter of an hour later.

Shi Zelan came out of the main hall, with frizzy hair, messy clothes, and a bright smile on her face. After four years in the mortal world, she could finally go to Yunyan Sect.

These little brats just wanted to attack her from behind. They need to be dealt with.

The five or six children who came out behind her had bruises on their noses and faces, their hair was straight down, their clothes were in tatters, and they all had tears in their eyes.

The elders in the family gathered around and said, "Don't cry. You can't go to the sect. You go to the school and study hard." "Oh, oh, oh, I can go. I can't let go of my grandpa, grandma, father, and mother."

Sure enough, some were happy and some were sad. Mr. Shi looked around at the people outside the main hall.

"Grandpa, I'm back."

Shi Zelan came over and held his sleeve. Mr. Shi shouted to someone in the crowd: "Lao Liu, go back and tell the clan leader that he must come to my house tonight."

"Okay, uncle, I'll talk to the clan leader later."

After Grandma Shi left, the people who stayed behind looked at the children and became angry: "Are you bullying Aunt Lan (Sister Lan) in there?"

"Uh-huh, not this time. It was everyone who squeezed Aunt Lan and she fell."

At night, in the yard, Mr. Shi and Shi Zelan talked about the origins of the Shi family and the Yunyan Sect, as well as some legends in the family.

Five thousand years ago, the world was in chaos and the people were in dire straits. A son of the Shi family went outside to seek a way to survive. Since then, there has been no news.

The genealogy records that two thousand years later, an immortal from the Yunyan Sect came to the Shi family and claimed to be the Shi family member who ran away two thousand years ago.

He had an adventure when he went out. When he was about to starve to death, he happened to encounter Yunyan Sect coming to the mountain to recruit disciples as handymen.

It had been two thousand years since he left, but he came back just in time. The Shi family was so poor that it was about to die out.

The ancestors left money to settle the clan members, left a weather-beaten ancestral hall for the Shi family, and then left.

The ancestral hall is also equipped with a reception hall, which later became the main hall for the family to discuss important matters. There are always disc stones left by the ancestors in it.

As long as the children of the Shi family are over ten years old, they must come and touch the disc. Only by sincerity can they seek the protection of their ancestors.

It just spread over time, and later on, the legend became a family rule.

After hundreds of years, the disc has been smoothed by children, but no miracles have been seen.

Until more than a thousand years ago, a little girl in the clan had a death wish due to the abuse of her biological father and stepmother. Before she died, she came to the ancestral hall to kneel down and worship her biological mother's tablet.

When she left the ancestral hall and was about to jump into the river, she turned around and saw the light in the door of the main hall.

She entered the main hall, stretched out her hand towards Yuanpan, and then... Yun Yanzong quickly arranged for the immortal to pick her up.

"Grandpa, has my great-aunt and grandma ever come back?"

Shi Zelan asked Mr. Shi curiously, and the old man pondered for a moment: "The old patriarch didn't say anything."

Mr. Shi had too much to say to his granddaughter, so he quickly continued.

"One hundred and ninety years ago, when your father turned ten, he touched the Yuanpan and had the opportunity to go to the sect. That's when I realized that cultivating immortals requires spiritual roots.

Grandpa and your grandma are both ordinary people, and your grandma stopped falling ill when your father was five years old.

The old patriarch was worried that my father would not be able to let go of your father and let him pursue his future, so he told him what he knew.

Beyond our mortal world, there are countless sects all over the world, large and small, that cultivate immortality. Yunyan Sect is the largest sect that cultivates immortality in Kyushu, and currently has two Immortal Transformers.

After your father goes to the sect to cultivate immortality, he will become an immortal, live a long time, and protect the people in his clan. "

Mr. Shi reached out and touched his granddaughter's head. He felt very reluctant to let go of his granddaughter, but he could no longer stay in the mortal world.

The granddaughter is going back to the sect. From now on, the sect and her parents will take care of her when she grows up.
