Chapter 252 Young Xu Fu, Top-grade Spiritual Roots [Subscription Request]

By the time Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi returned to the Fulong stronghold, many Purple Mansion cultivators who had participated in the manhunt had also returned.

These Purple Mansion cultivators also knew that the situation in the wilderness was unpredictable. If they pursued too deeply, the identities of hunter and prey would probably be reversed.

But the outcome of the battle among the Jindan stage cultivators has not yet been determined, and the battlefield has slowly shifted to the wilderness.

However, the Corpse Demon Cult's army of corpse refining has disappeared at this moment, and no one knows what the outcome of the battle with the red fire dragon was.

At the same time, the beast army that had surrounded the Fulong stronghold was now dead or scattered, and most of them disappeared.

Upon seeing this, the two Zhou family members returned to their residence and meditated to recover their magic power.

At the same time, when the decisive battle was going on on the front battlefield in Yunzhou, Zhou Chun, who was far away in Lanzhou, was also very busy.

He was busy collecting the bodies.

As the monsters that were wreaking havoc in Lanzhou were gradually eliminated, Zhou Chun began to organize people to go to Jinji Mountain to transport the monster corpses that had been buried previously.

Although a crude underground ice storage was built to bury the corpses of the monsters, it was not very well sealed due to time constraints.

If we delay too long, once the ice in the ice storage melts, the corpses of the monsters will probably rot and stink.

So when he saw that the situation had changed, Zhou Chun immediately led his men and drove the fifteen dragon-clawed giant lizards to Jinji Mountain to transport the corpses of the monsters.

Dragon-claw monitor lizards are good at carrying heavy loads. One dragon-claw monitor lizard can carry tens of thousands of kilograms of weight. Fifteen dragon-claw monitor lizards can transport three or four hundred thousand kilograms of monster meat in one trip.

Zhou Chun also mobilized more than one hundred storage bags from the Zhou family to store the corpses of the monsters.

Therefore, after three trips back and forth, all the more than one thousand corpses of monsters stored in Jinji Mountain were pulled back to the Zhou family.

At this time, the cultivators who stayed behind in the Zhou family had already cleaned out the ordinary animal meat in the old ice storage and made room for the corpses of these monsters.

Zhou Chongshan also specially chose a place in the mountains to temporarily set up a magic circle that could release cold air as a temporary warehouse to store the corpses of monsters.

After setting up this temporary warehouse, Zhou Chun let the tired dragon-clawed monitors take a rest, while he himself took his storage bag and manpower and rode on his dragon-scale horse to the burial ground where the Wang family’s stronghold was originally located, and continued to clean up the corpses of the monsters there.

At the same time, the Zhou family was also purchasing the corpses of monsters brought back from various places by independent cultivators at low prices.

Zhou Chun planned to consume all the food for the Zhou family's monsters for the next ten years this time.

Anyway, the spirit beast rations that have been refined and processed are relatively easy to preserve. The Zhou family also has a warehouse dedicated to storing such bulk materials. The soul-sealing formations arranged inside can reduce the rate at which the spiritual power contained in these spirit beast rations dissipates to a very low level.

On this day, Zhou Chun had not yet received any news from the Yunzhou front, but he encountered something that surprised him.

It turned out that when he was working in Zhongping Hall that day, a cultivator from the External Affairs Hall suddenly came to report that a casual cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage had repeatedly requested to thank him in person for saving his life.

Zhou Chun had been clearing out monsters all over Lanzhou these days, and he had indeed saved some wandering cultivators, but most of those who wanted to thank him had already thanked him on the spot.

He was indeed surprised that someone actually came to the Zhou family to express gratitude.

So he went to the Foreign Affairs Hall.

When he arrived at the Zhou family's Foreign Affairs Office, Zhou Chun saw two unfamiliar monks, one old and one young, who seemed to have some impression of him.

Just as he was thinking about when he had met the old man and the young man, the half-grown boy looked at him excitedly and said, "Master, it was this senior. It was Senior Zhou who gave you the elixir to save you that day!"

Hearing this, the white-haired old man beside him immediately knelt down on the ground in front of Zhou Chun, kowtowed and thanked him, saying: "Junior Mo Renyi, I am here to greet Senior Zhou. Senior, you gave me medicine to save my life, and I have no way to repay you. Please accept my greetings!"

When the young man saw this, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Zhou Chun repeatedly to express his gratitude.

"It turns out it's you!"

At this time, Zhou Chun finally remembered the origins of the two people, and then he took two steps forward and personally helped the master and disciple up from the ground.

Then he said softly, "I saved this person that day just because I was grateful for this young Taoist friend's filial piety, and I admired Taoist friend Mo for sacrificing his life to save mortals. You two Taoist friends don't have to be so polite."

Hearing his words, the white-haired old man, Doctor Mo Ren, looked at him with gratitude and said, "To you, Senior Zhou, it may be just a small matter, but to me, it is a life-saving grace!"

"If I don't come here in person to thank you for your kindness, I would be unworthy of my life!"

Zhou Chun felt relieved after hearing these words.

Although many people often say that it is not necessary to thank for a favor.

But in fact, if people don’t even receive a thank you after doing a favor, few will continue to do good to others and help others in the future.

The white-haired old man, Doctor Mo Ren, traveled thousands of miles to the Zhou family to express his gratitude. This thanks might not bring any practical benefits to Zhou Chun, but it did make him feel quite comfortable and his mood improved a lot.

He then asked someone to sit aside and got a brief understanding of the situation between the master and his disciple.

According to Doctor Mo Ren, he was originally a mortal doctor who inherited medical skills from his family. However, because his father had lived next to an old cultivator for many years and they had a close relationship, he was able to get the support of the old cultivator and embark on the path of cultivating immortals.

However, after hanging around in the world of immortal cultivators for more than twenty years, Doctor Mo Ren got tired of the life of a casual cultivator, so he simply gave up practicing and returned to the mortal world. He inherited the family clinic and specialized in treating illnesses and prescribing medicine.

The young Xu Fu was a person with spiritual roots whom he discovered during one of his medical practices. At that time, Xu Fu suffered from a strange disease and Mo Ren had tried many methods to make him recover but failed. So he could only teach him the method of breathing exercises, hoping that he could cultivate magic power by himself to strengthen his body and get rid of the strange disease.

As a result, after practicing with him for several years, the young Xu Fu actually cured his strange disease by practicing the method of cultivating immortals.

"Wait, you said this kid has only been with you for three years? And during this time he never went to a free cultivator base or a family mountain gate to practice?"

Suddenly, Zhou Chun seemed to have discovered something. He looked at Doctor Mo Ren with surprise and asked the question in his mind.

When Doctor Mo Ren heard what he said, he misunderstood his meaning. He immediately sighed with a wry smile on his face, "I also knew that letting him do this would infect him with the evil spirit, but I didn't really want to bring him into the world of immortal cultivation at that time. I just wanted him to try to see if he could cure the strange disease. Now it seems that I have harmed him!"

"That's not what I meant. What I meant was, have you tested his spiritual root aptitude?" Zhou Chun shook his head repeatedly and spoke out his true intention again.

This made Doctor Mo Ren slightly stunned, and then he shook his head and replied: "No, I am only at the sixth level of the Qi Refining Stage, so I don't have the ability to test his spiritual root qualifications. I just felt that he had a spirituality at the time, so he might have spiritual root qualifications!"

At this point, he seemed to realize something, and looked at Zhou Chun tentatively and said, "Senior, do you mean that Xu Fu has a good spiritual root aptitude?"

"Whether it is good or not, you will know it after one test!"

As Zhou Chun spoke, he turned his gaze towards the young man Xu Fu and said, "I will now test your spiritual root aptitude. Do not resist at all, and do not resist your body's reaction."

"Yes, junior, I obey."

The young Xu Fu responded respectfully, then stood aside and waited obediently for Zhou Chun to cast the spell.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Chun immediately made hand gestures and cast a spell, using the "Spirit Detection Technique" on him.

When the white ball formed by the "Spirit-detecting Technique" sank into his body, the young Xu Fu suddenly felt a pain like an ant gnawing at his heart, numb, itchy and painful.

But he remembered Zhou Chun's instructions and did not dare to mobilize his weak magic power to ease the pain. He just relied on his own willpower to grit his teeth and endure it.

Fortunately, the pain only lasted for a few breaths and then passed.

Soon, a ray of light with a white tint and a greenish tint shot out from the top of his head and stopped at a position more than eight feet above his head.

"The spiritual light shines through his head, this is a top-grade spiritual root aptitude! This kid actually has a top-grade spiritual root!!"

When Doctor Mo Ren, who was standing by, saw this scene, his eyes widened and he cried out in shock.

Even though I have never eaten pork, I have also seen pigs walking.

Although Mo Renyi was unable to perform a top-grade spell like the "Spirit Testing Technique" which consumed a lot of energy due to his own cultivation level, he had been in the world of immortal cultivation for more than 20 years and of course knew the criteria for testing the spiritual root qualifications using the "Spirit Testing Technique".

At this moment, when the strange spiritual light appeared above the young Xu Fu's head, he compared it with the information he knew and immediately had an idea of ​​his spiritual root aptitude.

And he naturally understood how precious it was to have top-grade spiritual root talent!

With such spiritual root qualifications, no matter which of the three major sects in Jingguo he goes to, he will be accepted as a disciple by some Purple Mansion Stage cultivators, and he will not have to worry about the Foundation Establishment Pill in the future.

"It is indeed a top-grade spiritual root aptitude, and what is rare is that it is a wind spiritual root attribute!"

Zhou Chun also looked at the young Xu Fu with surprise, amazed by his talent.

The spiritual root attributes of immortal cultivators are generally the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and most of them contain several attributes, for example Zhou Chun has the three attributes of gold, earth and wood.

But in addition to the five elements, there are also special attributes such as wind, thunder, ice and darkness.

Compared with the more common five elements attributes, special attributes such as wind, thunder, ice and darkness are undoubtedly much rarer.

It doesn't mean that these special attribute spiritual roots are necessarily better than the five elements attributes. In fact, in terms of cultivation speed, there is no difference between the two under the same circumstances.

However, after cultivators with special attributes practice the corresponding skills, the power of the wind, thunder, ice and dark spells they master will be greatly enhanced, making it difficult for ordinary cultivators with the five elements to restrain and target them.

In short, cultivators with special attributes are generally stronger in fighting ability than cultivators with five elements attributes at the same level.

Xu Fu himself has a top-grade spiritual root aptitude, and his cultivation speed is faster than that of most cultivators. He also has a wind-attribute spiritual root, and this kind of spiritual root aptitude is truly rare.

Seeing Zhou Chun confirm his guess, Doctor Mo Ren's face suddenly turned pale, and he couldn't help but say with regret: "In that case, when I treated him and taught him how to practice, didn't I end up harming him?"

However, he thought that if he did not teach Xu Fu to practice, Xu Fu would not have been able to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth containing turbid and evil energy for a long time to practice.

Mo Renyi was filled with regret when he thought that such a talented cultivator with a bright future might be buried because of his own reasons.

Zhou Chun also understood Doctor Mo Renyi's feelings, and immediately comforted him kindly: "Friend Mo, you are too kind. If you hadn't taught him how to practice, not only would his strange illness be unresolved, but his talent would have been buried in obscurity!"

The young man Xu Fu at the side also quickly responded: "Yes, yes, if it weren't for you, Master, I would have been dead for who knows how long. I will never be able to repay you for saving my life and giving me a new lease of life. What does it matter if I am contaminated by a little bit of turbid evil spirit?"

Despite this, Mo Renyi still felt very uncomfortable in his heart, thinking that he had buried the genius Xu Fu.

He looked at Xu Fu, then at Zhou Chun standing beside him.

Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and with a hopeful look in his eyes, he looked at Zhou Chun and asked carefully, "Senior Zhou, I have heard before that the turbid evil spirit is not completely impossible to get rid of. Some big families and sects seem to have ways to get rid of the turbid evil spirit in the cultivators' bodies. I wonder if it is true?"

Hearing his words, Zhou Chun couldn't help but narrow his eyes, then nodded slightly and said: "It's true, and my Zhou family has two treasures that can remove the turbid evil spirits in the body of a cultivator!"

At this point, before Mo Renyi, who had shown a look of delight after hearing his words, could speak, he continued calmly, "But whether it's the scent of the fragrant spirit musk deer or the soul-cleansing spirit water of the soul-cleansing water demon, they are both treasures worth thousands of souls, and they are both priceless items."

The implication is obviously that he doesn't think Mo Renyi can afford the spiritual coins to buy the two.

And this is indeed the case.

If Mo Renyi was really wealthy, he would not have given up the Taoist path and lived in seclusion in the mortal world, nor would he have allowed Xu Fu to practice in the mortal world.

Therefore, after hearing what he said, Doctor Mo Ren's originally happy expression suddenly disappeared, and his face was filled with sorrow and helplessness.

The young man Xu Fu, who had just shouted that he didn't care about being contaminated by the evil energy, now had a dim look in his eyes, and the light in his eyes disappeared.

In fact, regarding the harm of turbid evil energy, Doctor Mo Ren had already told him about it when he first taught him the breathing method of cultivation.

But he was relying on this method to save his life at the time, so of course he didn't care about the consequences.

But now that he has tasted the benefits of cultivating magical powers, he has seen the strength of cultivators like Zhou Chun who are in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and he already knows that he actually possesses superior spiritual roots, how can he not want to go further on the path of cultivating immortals!
