Slow and immortal

Chapter 3

The man shouted like this without stopping for a moment and continued to send messages to other places, leaving Grandma confused in the kitchen and asking:

"Boy! Didn't make it clear why the fairy master recruited apprentices?!"

"Anyway, Grandma, just take Xiao Yao to the compound!"

I didn't expect that person's ears to be very sensitive, and he could still hear after running a few feet away.

Grandma turned around again, Xiao Yao had already helped her fasten the pot on the stove with just a few words, put out the fire, looked at her excitedly and urged:
"Grandma, let's go, otherwise it's not good to keep the fairy teacher waiting for a long time!"

At this moment, Xiao Yao felt that her luck had come. Just now she was thinking about how to meet the immortal master and let the immortal master take her in, but now she has an opportunity. The immortal master wants to choose disciples. Being chosen as a disciple, I don't know if I can ask the immortal master to let her be a servant by my side.

Xiao Yao clenched her tiny fists, thinking that no matter what, she had to try her best, otherwise such an opportunity would never come back.

When Xiao Yao helped her elderly grandma to the compound, the courtyard was already full of people, most of them were parents who brought their children over. Those children were only about 15 years old, and the youngest were still waiting to be fed.

A servant saw Xiao Yao and grandma coming in, so he pointed to the place full of people queuing up and said:
"Wait in line over there."

Grandma led Xiao Yao to stand in the line, and Xiao Yao looked around for a while, only to realize that standing on the colorful rays of light in the midair at the front of the line were the immortal masters she had just seen at the old well. Seeing them standing one by one like pine trees, their clothes fluttering, and their expressions arrogant, almost all the villagers looked up at them with admiration, their expressions were excited, and they wished that their children would be taken away by these immortal masters and walk on the road of becoming immortals. , Guangzong Yaozu.

And Xiao Yao was also full of anticipation and envy. She was too far away before, she couldn't see clearly, but now at such a close distance, she found that there was a boy about eleven or two years old among these immortal masters.

Of course, there are indeed other children in their teens among these immortal masters, including Xiao Yuhe, the third lady of the Xiao family, but those children are all scattered on the same immortal artifact with those adult immortals, and it can be seen that they are all young Of the recruited disciples, only the young man was driving a flying sword himself, which was very conspicuous.

The boy's hair was tied up in a high bun, he was dressed in white clothes like snow, and he stood on the sword with his hands behind his back. Although he was only eleven or twelve years old, he could tell that he had a handsome appearance, a handsome temperament, and a slender figure. The general appearance can also attract everyone to become the focus of the audience.

Xiao Yao has never seen anyone as good-looking as a young man, even the handsome men in the books are not as good-looking as him, let alone he is flying alone with his sword.She couldn't help staring at the indescribable envy in the boy's heart.

Suddenly the young man seemed to feel that someone was looking at him, and his cold eyes cast towards Xiao Yao's direction and fell on her face.

But with such a light sweep, Xiao Yao felt a little afraid to look at the boy, and then looked at the dirty and rough clothes on her body, and lowered her head in shame, not daring to look again.

When she raised her head again, the young man had already withdrawn her gaze, and Xiao Yuhe who was not far away from him was talking to him, her face was bright red, the young man nodded from time to time, or replied a sentence or two.

Xiao Yao suddenly felt a little lost, but it was only for a moment, and then she concentrated all her attention on the three leading immortal masters at the front.

I saw the old man who took Xiao Yuhe in just now shook his head while looking at the child shrouded in white light below:
"There is no spiritual root, you go back."

When the child's mother heard this, she led her child down with an extremely disappointed face.There were different expressions in the crowd, some sighed, some were lucky, some felt that they were in danger, and some even gloated.

There are already dozens of them, basically all of them have no spiritual roots, not to mention single spiritual roots like Xiao Yuhe, even three or two spiritual roots have never appeared.

"En? This child is a person with three spiritual roots, and has the three phases of gold, water and wood. There are a lot of impurities. What do you think, brother?"

The plump immortal master surnamed Li suddenly pointed to a child and asked the old man.

The old man looked at the child and his father's expectant eyes, and said quietly:

"In any case, you are a person with spiritual roots. Although you can't enter the inner sect as a disciple, it's not bad to take it back to be an outer sect disciple, guarding the spirit beasts. If you have the opportunity in time, you may not be able to enter the inner sect to practice immortality. I wonder if you would like it?"

When the child's father heard this, he pulled the child up to kneel down and kowtow to the old man excitedly:
"Thank you Immortal Master, my child is naturally very willing!"

The old man nodded in satisfaction:

"You take the children to stand aside first, and after it's over, you can make your own arrangements."

The man took his own child and stood aside under the envious and jealous eyes of everyone.

Xiao Yao saw all this in her eyes, and said in her heart: It seems that whether this person can become a disciple or servant of an immortal master depends on whether he has spiritual roots. Gen can only be an outer disciple. What is this spiritual root?

Just thinking about it, the middle-aged beauty fairy teacher on the left in front suddenly said:
"Little girl, come here."

The voice attracted people's attention, and everyone looked at where the immortal master was looking. Xiao Yao also came back to her senses and found that the immortal master seemed to be looking at herself.

She pointed to herself with some doubts:

"I?"

The Immortal Master Mei nodded to her with a smile, Xiao Yao walked up to the Immortal Master with a feeling of uneasiness and anticipation, and looked up:
"May I ask the Lord to call me?"

Master Meixian smiled gently:
"Well, what's your name, little girl? Would you like to be my disciple of Qingfeng Daoist Lu Buqun?"

Before Xiao Yao could answer, the old man beside him said in surprise:

"Huh? Why did the younger brother choose another apprentice so quickly? Could it be a sudden whim? You must know that my Xianyu sect accepting apprentices is not a joke, let me take a look first."

Master Meixian smiled without saying a word, stroked the beautiful beard on her chin to one side, and watched her senior brother wrap Xiao Yao with a white light.

As the white light shone, the old man didn't take it seriously at first, then suddenly frowned, his expression became serious, and finally his eyes widened in surprise, his face was ecstatic and he couldn't help being a little surprised:

"It's such a pure single spiritual root?!!! And it's also a mutated lightning attribute?!! Junior brother, you..."

It took only a moment for the ecstatic expression to appear on the old man's face, before it turned into an annoyed and depressed expression.You must know that spiritual roots are divided into three spiritual roots, two spiritual roots, and single spiritual roots. Only those with spiritual roots can gather energy to practice Taoism, and the purity of spiritual roots determines the speed of spiritual root cultivation. Three spiritual roots are for The most complex, although able to cultivate the Tao, most of them are not very successful, and the two spiritual roots are next, but most of them stop at the golden core stage. Only a single spiritual root can have greater development potential, and a single spiritual root is also divided into high and low purity. In other words, the less impurities, the more powerful, and the spiritual root is supplemented by the five elements of the spiritual root. The so-called metal, wood, water, fire, and earth are the five elements, and the variation of the five elements produces the attribute of thunder, ice, and wind.

If it is said that a normal five-element single spiritual root with a single high purity is against the sky, then it is almost impossible for a mutated high-purity spiritual root to exist, not only because of the low probability of mutated spiritual roots, but most importantly because all mutated spiritual roots The degree of purity is very high without exception, such aptitude can even make various sects fight for it, and now this kind of opportunity has been given to my junior brother twice. Although the old man has the idea of ​​grabbing it in his heart, he is from the same sect after all, what should I say? They are all in their own sect, and they don't want to tear their faces, so they have to suppress the jealousy in their hearts, and their tone is slightly sour:

"It seems that my brother's qi-watching technique has become more refined, and I admire him so much."

"Where, it's just a trick of the outside world. It can't be used in a big scene, so it can only take advantage of this aspect. It's not as good as the senior brother's 'marking the ground as a prison'. That's really everyone's method."

Lu Buqun said modestly, he did not forget to give his senior brother some face, after all this time he took advantage of it first.

Although the old man's face was ugly and his intestines were green with regret, he had no choice but to give up because of face, he just nodded his head pretendingly, and turned to look at the other children for fear that his junior brother would take advantage of him.

"Little girl, have you ever thought about whether you would like to worship me as a teacher?"

After solving his senior brother Lu Buqun, he continued to look at Xiao Yao.

Xiao Yao was still in a daze, she didn't expect her wish to be fulfilled so easily, she thought she was dreaming, and when the celestial spirit asked her again, she came back to her senses and knelt down excitedly towards him. He knocked his head three times:

"Xiao Yao is willing to worship Shangxian as his teacher! Please Master accept Xiao Yao's worship."

Upon hearing this, Lu Buqun laughed heartily and said:
"Hahaha, alright, what a Xiao Yao, this heaven-defying aptitude is comparable to that of your brother Fang Yan, and the attribute is even better. It seems that I am lucky today, you get up."

After speaking, she pointed her finger, and in the blink of an eye, Xiao Yao stood beside Lu Buqun's flying magic weapon, and at the same time got closer to that cool and handsome young man.

Lu Buqun pointed to the young man and said to Xiao Yao:

"This is your fifth senior brother, Fang Yan, who is also a disciple recently accepted by the teacher. He has practiced on his own long before he started. Your senior brother Fang Yan is also as talented as you, and his understanding is bright. Now he has reached After reaching the fifth level of the Qi Refining Stage, you can already control the Magical Artifact by yourself, and you have to learn a lot from him in the future."

The young man looked at Xiao Yao, nodded his head, and Xiao Yao lowered his head with a blushing face, not daring to look at him, and said softly:

"Xiao Yao met Senior Brother Fang."

Lu Buqun saw Xiao Yao's embarrassed look with her head lowered, and shook her head:
"Xiao Yao raised her head."

Xiao Yao raised her head and looked at her master suspiciously.

I saw my master's expression proudly and earnestly said:
"All the disciples I invite under the Yuefeng sect are talented, intelligent, and rare talents in the world of cultivating immortals, so why not look down on the world and look down upon the heroes? Now you are also inviting me to the Yuefeng sect." Disciple, you should straighten your chest and raise your head, don't let others look down on you!"

Can I be like Senior Brother Fang and Master?Xiao Yao almost didn't dare to think about it, and then looked at the golden lotus flower she was stepping on, hanging in the air, all the people below looked up at her, their eyes were full of envy and jealousy, and Master Xiao stared even wider He looked a little unwilling, but had to lower his posture and look at her.

At this moment, Xiao Yao felt a sense of pride and superiority that she had never felt before. She seemed to be able to feel why her master and senior brother were so arrogant. It turned out that mortals were so insignificant in the eyes of immortals. After crossing that hurdle, one leaps over the dragon gate and becomes a dragon.

Looking at the senior brother beside her, Xiao Yao raised her chin unconsciously. Seeing that she already understood, Lu Buqun showed a satisfied smile.

Suddenly Xiao Yao remembered that Grandma was still below, so she proudly raised her little head and waved happily to Grandma, conveying her joy, but saw Grandma sighed softly, with a faint smile on her face. worry.

Xiao Yao, who was young and had just entered the clouds, was still unable to understand Grandma's worries at this moment. How could she understand how cruel this long road to immortality is? So what about the body, if you can't reach the other side of longevity, it's better to be a carefree reckless man in the ordinary mountains and plains.

Many years later, countless times passed by, and when she suddenly looked back, she realized that Grandma's sigh had already exhausted her difficult road of cultivating immortality.
