The Age of Immortal Cultivation: I Have Mountains and Seas to Accompany Me

Chapter 95: Recruiting a Disciple (Part )

Ye Muxue dealt with the scene directly... There was nothing that could not be accomplished with one fire. If there was, just add another fire to complete it. Her cremation was much better than that of the funeral home. Even the bones turned into ashes and were blown away by the wind.

The four children were eight or nine years old. They could basically tell the approximate addresses of their parents and families. They were mostly locals. Ye Muxue took them to the nearby police station and let them go there by themselves. She, Jiang Yan and the other two quietly left. This lawsuit had nothing to do with her.

"Are you a god?"

After walking for a while, Jiang Yan suddenly asked.

"Why do you ask?" Ye Muxue turned her head and looked at her.

"I saw you burning those people... and you were able to become invisible earlier, is that a magic trick?"

"First, I'm not an immortal, but I'm working towards this goal. Second, what you're talking about... isn't immortal magic, it's Taoist magic."

Ye Muxue patiently answered the questions one by one, and finally asked: "So, do you want to learn?"

"Yes." Jiang Yan answered without hesitation.

"Then you should think about it carefully."

Ye Muxue looked at her seriously: "If you want to learn these, you not only need to endure hardships, but also be able to endure loneliness, and you must be willing to give up everything in the world... such as family and friends."

"I can endure hardship and loneliness. My parents are dead... other relatives are not relatives..."

Jiang Yan lowered her voice and lowered her head slightly, but she raised her head again immediately: "I only have these two friends, and they are still young. Can I take care of them until they grow up? When they can earn money to support themselves, they will leave on their own."

"Loyalty and righteousness are excellent qualities. As long as they can prove themselves in the future, I can give them a job. And if they have the qualifications to practice, I can even let you all practice."

Ye Muxue smiled faintly and stopped Jiang Yan from speaking: "Tell me first, what did you understand from what happened today?"

Jiang Yan first looked at Ye Muxue in confusion, then lowered her head to think. The two children next to her were still young and obviously didn't understand very well, with a look of confusion and awe on their little faces.

"When encountering something like this, the first thing to do is to call the police... Well, my strength is too weak..." Jiang Yan summarized a lot, but it was far from Ye Muxue's focus.

After all, she is just a child, and we can't expect her to think more. But from what she has seen since she was a child, this way of making choices is probably... Ye Muxue shook her head: "Jiang Yan, tell me, when the human trafficker told you that you could be exchanged for the safety of your friends, what did you think? You actually agreed to him."

"Under the circumstances at that time... this might be the only way, I believe..."

"You believe he won't lie to you? You didn't even see them... and did the trafficker keep his word?" "No."

"Jiang Yan, if you want to be my disciple, then listen to my first lesson. When you encounter something that requires you to make a choice, remember that you must have the right to choose in your own hands, and don't listen to what others tell you to do. When you encounter something like this, you can either take it by force or make a feint and leave. As long as you are safe, that is the biggest advantage you have."

"Yeah!" Jiang Yan was still a little confused, but she nodded obediently.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand, the important thing is to remember it.

The three children were going back to the house by the railway to get the things they had hidden there.

I really don't know what valuable things they have that are worth them making a special trip back. Jiang Yan originally said that they would be back soon and let Ye Muxue wait for them, but how could Ye Muxue let them do what they want?

The area where they live belongs to the slums in the city. Not only is the living environment poor, but the security environment is also equally bad... Poor mountains and bad waters produce unruly people. It is probably the quality of life in an area that determines the security situation in that area. Ye Muxue brought her three children through the city, which was different from the last time she came here. This attracted the attention of many people. Soon, some people gathered at the door of the shabby house where Jiang Yan and the others lived, looking around curiously.

Ye Muxue was somewhat immune to the onlookers... She was more curious about the collections of Jiang Yan and the other two.

When they found the so-called "collection", Ye Muxue burst out laughing...It turned out that these collections were some coins and comic books with damaged books. But seeing that the three children seemed very pious, Ye Muxue felt a little sad!
She glanced outside the door, flicked her hand slightly, and the door closed suddenly, blocking out those curious gazes.

She took out a spirit-testing plate and the three children looked at it curiously, not knowing what it was.

"This is a thing that measures your aptitude. It also determines whether you three siblings can live together in the future."

Ye Muxue showed a wolf grandmother smile: "Be good, put your little hands on it... Hey, don't put them all at once, one by one!"

As expected, Jiang Yan is still the favored girl of heaven in her previous life, with dual spiritual roots of thunder and water, and the quality of heavenly spiritual roots. But it turns out that the two children, the boy has wood spiritual roots, and the quality is earth spiritual roots; the girl has gold and fire spiritual roots, which are slightly lower in quality, and also human spiritual roots... It's true that you make friends like yourself!
Spiritual roots are the basis for whether a person can embark on the path of cultivation. Everyone has spiritual roots. It can be said that people without spiritual roots simply cannot live in this world. However, most people have hidden spiritual roots and have never revealed them. There are only two ways to reveal their hidden spiritual roots: elixir, which has special elixirs that can make spiritual roots appear so that they can practice; special exercises may also make hidden spiritual roots appear.

Both of these things are difficult... very difficult, even more difficult than becoming a Buddha instantly!
Most spiritual roots are related to the five elements, but there are also some special or mutated ones, such as thunder spiritual roots, ice spiritual roots, wind spiritual roots, dark spiritual roots, light spiritual roots, time spiritual roots, space spiritual roots, etc.

At the same time, spiritual roots also have differences in quality.

The highest quality are heavenly spiritual roots, earthly spiritual roots and human spiritual roots. The next level is first-level spiritual roots to fifth-level spiritual roots. If the spiritual roots are lower in grade, there is basically no future, unless you can find elixirs or other natural treasures to improve the spiritual roots, or a technique that can make hidden spiritual roots appear.

It should be pointed out that a person usually has five spiritual roots, because the five elements are the basis of all matter. But usually only one, two, or more can be revealed. Like Ye Muxue's five spiritual roots, each spiritual root has the same quality. It is a rare chaotic spiritual root. This kind of spiritual root must be cultivated with special skills, otherwise it will become a useless spiritual root.

Well, the three children were too young. Actually, Ye Muxue was mainly telling Jiang Yan about this. Of course, she did not tell Jiang Yan about her spiritual roots and cultivation methods.
