“Leave the person at Xuan Lei Peak?”
Qiong Hua came to the cave of his master, Xuan Zhen. He first briefly described his experience after coming down the mountain and then reported the purpose of his visit.
After hearing his words, the man who was originally meditating with his back to him turned around and spoke in a long and indifferent voice.
People who practice Taoism have long been extraordinary and detached from the world, and it is impossible to tell the changes of time from their appearance. Therefore, although Xuan Zhen is more than two thousand years old, he still looks like a young man in his prime.
Xuan Zhen’s appearance is no longer something that can be praised in a few words. His facial features are like the work of God, all of which are beautiful.
Thousands of years of quiet cultivation have made this master too cold and aloof, and the indifference between his eyebrows makes him look like the unattainable Moon God above the nine heavens.
People are fascinated by his beauty, but they dare not have any bad thoughts, as if thinking too much is a blasphemy against him.
Xuan Zhen is wholeheartedly pursuing the way to ascend to heaven and has no requirements for external things. Therefore, his cave is empty, like a snow cave, and even simpler than those of the second-rate casual cultivators.
At this moment, he was wearing a smoky grey Taoist robe. The style of the robe was simple, but the precious light surrounding it showed that it was definitely not an ordinary item.
His waist-length black hair was tied up with a crudely made jade hairpin. There was no spiritual energy on the hairpin, and it seemed to be just an ordinary hairpin without any magic array engraved on it.
Qiong Hua was in awe of this master, so he didn’t dare to keep his eyes on him for too long. After explaining his purpose, Qiong Hua lowered his head and looked at the tip of his shoe, guessing that the jade hairpin must have been the work of his junior sister.
You know, before he left Xuan Lei Peak, his master was wearing the top-grade spiritual weapon, the Qiantian Hairpin, on his head. That hairpin was not only a magical weapon for self-defense, but it could also be transformed into a long sword and used as an offensive spiritual weapon.
Ever since Qiong Hua could remember, his master had been wearing that hairpin and had never changed it. Only the junior sister had the ability to make the master take off the spiritual weapon that he had worn for thousands of years and wear the one she made herself. The hairpin had no effect at all, and the workmanship was not even as good as the hairpins sold at street stalls in the mortal world.
As expected, the little junior sister still loves the master the most. She has never done anything for him, the Eldest Senior Brother, and just knows how to make him angry all day long.
“Then, let her stay for a while.”
Xuan Zhen’s words interrupted Qiong Hua’s reverie just now.
“By the way, have you made any progress in the matter I asked you to investigate?”
Because of the second half of the Master’s words, Qiong Hua’s expression instantly became serious.
“I found it. But the situation of that useless spirit body is completely different from Ah Wu.”
Qiong Hua shook his head, looking a little solemn.
Unlike those without spiritual roots who are born unable to cultivate, useless spiritual bodies have spiritual roots, and the spiritual roots can be one in a million single-line spiritual roots, or they can be useless spiritual roots with all five elements. However, due to the special nature of their bodies, useless spiritual bodies cannot sense the five elements floating in the air and have no way to absorb the spiritual energy in the spiritual stones. Even if they have spiritual roots, they can only be mortals for life, just like those without spiritual roots who cannot cultivate.
A useless spirit body is even rarer than a single-line spiritual root. Now, in the entire Langhua Realm, there is only one useless spirit body, and he is the descendant of a small family in the Langhua Realm.
After discovering that this child is a useless spirit body that may not appear once in a thousand years, the family felt that the existence of this child was a shame to the family, so they directly sent the child to the mortal world.
Xuan Zhen had never encountered a useless spirit before, and his knowledge of useless spirits was limited to records in books. Because his youngest disciple had been unable to practice, Xuan Zhen began to suspect whether Ah Wu’s physique had any connection with useless spirits.
So when Qiong Hua went down the mountain to train this time, Xuan Zhen specifically asked him to go to the mortal world to see whether the situation of the useless spirit person was similar to Ah Wu’s.
“The useless spirit body is just like what is recorded in the book. It can’t sense any spiritual energy at all. But Ah Wu is different. She can sense spiritual energy, but her Dantian cannot gather it. Often, as soon as she stores the spiritual energy in her Dantian, it dissipates on its own.”
Qiong Hua said uncertainty: “In theory, most of the plants and trees that have become spirits have a single wood spiritual root. At the very least, they have two or three spiritual roots mixed with wood, earth, and water. But Ah Wu was born with all five spiritual roots. The speed of cultivating the five spiritual roots is slow, but there is no one like Ah Wu who can’t even do the basic Qi gathering.”
