Five Element Spiritual Root
Lin Luochen’s head buzzed, almost unable to understand her meaning; after reacting, he couldn’t help but laugh.
His Grand Master was a little too enthusiastic. Was she afraid that he would be lonely and bored, so she sent him a beauty to pass the time?
But at least send a living one!
“Grand Master, really no need, this Disciple doesn’t need it!”
True Person Cuiyin chuckled, “I know you’re handsome and don’t lack women, but there are always unexpected needs, it’s better to be prepared.”
“You wouldn’t think it’s dirty, would you? This corpse beauty is still a virgin, from beginning to end it was refined by Grand Master me, it hasn’t passed through anyone else’s hands!”
Lin Luochen wanted to say something, True Person Cuiyin feigned anger, “This is Grand Master’s intention, if you don’t accept it, Grand Master will be angry!”
Lin Luochen gave a wry smile, “A gift from an elder, I dare not refuse, then this Disciple will accept it without ceremony!”
“That’s more like it!”
True Person Cuiyin then changed her anger to joy, smiling, “Luochen, you’ve entered my Corpse Yin Sect, you can’t be so rigid.”
Lin Luochen nodded, wryly smiling, “This Disciple will follow Grand Master’s teachings!”
True Person Cuiyin had him place a drop of Essence Blood on the corpse beauty’s forehead to claim ownership, then she waved her hand and released an Ice Coffin.
“Although this corpse beauty looks no different from a living person, it’s not a problem to carry her around normally.”
“But it’s ultimately a bit flashy. Inside the Sect it’s fine, but outside you must put her away, to avoid attracting covetous eyes.”
“The corpse beauty is between life and death, it must be kept in this Spirit Nurturing Coffin to be put into the Storage Ring, you must keep it safe.”
Lin Luochen nodded, put away the Ice Coffin, and True Person Cuiyin then transmitted a Chant to him.
“When you encounter danger, you can undo her Seal, but you must stay away from her within an hour, otherwise you are easily affected by Backlash.”
Lin Luochen didn’t understand why there would be Backlash. Could it be that she’s worn out from years of toil, and the Resentment is too heavy?
But he still nodded, True Person Cuiyin finally let him go, waving her hand.
“Alright, you’ve both traveled far and are tired, go back and rest, find time to chat with Grand Master more often.”
Lin Luochen nodded in agreement, and followed Su Yuyao in a daze, looking at the red-clothed beauty behind him with a headache.
What do I need this thing for? I can’t really use her when I have something to do and just let her be when I don’t, can I?
Su Yuyao said sourly, “You kid are quite sweet-talking, you’ve already tricked Master into a corpse beauty, this thing is quite valuable.”
Lin Luochen laughed, “Master, if you want it, take it, I can’t use it!”
Su Yuyao snorted, “What am I going to do with it, use it for a warm bed? Let’s go!”
She released the Corpse Eagle, carrying Lin Luochen soaring into the sky, flying towards the southeast direction of the Corpse Yin Sect.
After a while, the two landed on a beautiful Mountain Peak.
The mountains were shrouded in clouds and mist, a Small Building was looming in the clouds and mist, appearing exceptionally elegant.
Su Yuyao opened the Restriction and walked inside, Lin Luochen quickly followed, curiously looking around.
Two corpse puppets were standing at the entrance, seeing Su Yuyao return, they opened the courtyard gate with dull movements.
Walking into the courtyard, rows of corpse puppets stood woodenly, looking especially eerie in the faint mountain mist.
Lin Luochen couldn’t help but complain, “Master, looking at these things, don’t you find it disgusting?”
Su Yuyao shrugged, “Get used to it, I’m too lazy to clean them up, if you’re not used to it, find a Cave Abode on the mountain peak yourself.”
Lin Luochen hesitated, “Just find one, won’t there be anyone?”
Su Yuyao pursed her lips, “There won’t be people, but there are many corpses, just move out.”
Lin Luochen suddenly realized that the entire Mountain Peak belonged to Su Yuyao, and no one else lived there.
“Then this Disciple will leave!”
Just as he thought he could escape the sea of suffering, Su Yuyao’s voice came like devilish music.
“Remember to come and help me comb my hair and wash my clothes morning and evening.”
Lin Luochen said with a sad face, “Master, aren’t you already back? Can’t these things be done by Servants?”
Su Yuyao said righteously, “I’m not used to outsiders touching me and my things!”
“Master, I’m also an outsider!”
“Since you put it that way, you offended me before, and I can only kill you!”
Lin Luochen quickly smiled, “Master, you’re being too formal, I’m close with you!”
Since he couldn’t get rid of Su Yuyao, he didn’t go out to live like a caveman on the mountaintop, he just stayed in the Small Building.
Fortunately, Su Yuyao was somewhat particular, there were no corpse puppets inside the building, all the corpse puppets were placed outside the Small Building.
Su Yuyao said calmly, “I live on the third floor, you live on the second floor, remember not to do anything disgusting to me!”
Watching her go upstairs, Lin Luochen smiled helplessly, had he already become such a pervert in her eyes?
He went to the second floor, tidied up a little, took out the Spirit Nurturing Coffin, and ordered, “Go in!”
The extremely beautiful corpse beauty slowly walked over, lay down and closed her eyes, like a sleeping beauty.
Lin Luochen reached out to close the Coffin Lid and put her away.
Qu Lingyin couldn’t help but tease, “Aren’t you going to study the corpse beauty’s body structure?”
Lin Luochen said speechlessly, “Do I look like that kind of person?”
Qu Lingyin giggled, “You don’t look like it, you are!”
“Scram!”
Lin Luochen angrily cursed, and then silently took out the book on corpse dissection to cram.
On the third floor, Su Yuyao saw his actions through her Divine Sense, and the corners of her mouth slightly turned upward.
She suddenly found that this guy being serious wasn’t a bad thing, at least he wouldn’t do anything disgusting.
In the following days, Su Yuyao was preparing to re-refine the blood corpse that had been half-evolved.
But before that, she first refined the jade corpse, letting Lin Luochen observe and learn.
Under Su Yuyao’s demonstration, Lin Luochen finally learned how to control corpses and capture souls.
This wasn’t a matter of Talent, but overcoming psychological barriers cost him a lot of effort.
Besides this, Lin Luochen was also tirelessly searching for the Mark, but still couldn’t find it.
Two days passed in a flash, and the day of the Assessment arrived.
Lin Luochen followed Su Yuyao to the Plaza in front of the Corpse Yin Hall, where many people had already gathered.
More than forty newly recruited Disciples stood uneasily in the field, some with curious eyes looking around, others with pale faces…
The expressions of the crowd varied, while several Elders were sitting on the stage, chatting with each other, with corpse puppets following behind them.
Seeing Su Yuyao arrive, they couldn’t help but be surprised, “Why is the Holy Maiden here too?”
You know, Su Yuyao usually wasn’t interested in such things; only Elders who wanted to take disciples would come.
Su Yuyao smiled slightly, “I’m here to take a disciple!”
The Elders were even more surprised when they heard this, many seemed to have heard something, their eyes turned to Lin Luochen behind her, full of curiosity.
At this moment, the Great Hall opened, and Zhao Shouren walked out with True Person Cuiyin.
Everyone quickly bowed, but their hearts couldn’t help but be even more surprised.
After all, although Zhao Shouren was the Sect Master, he had never been involved in the matter of taking disciples, and he actually came today.
The Elders looked forward to it, it seems that there is something special about this assessment!
Disciples continuously walked down from behind the Elders to participate in the assessment.
These were the Unofficial Disciples recruited by other Elders in the past three years, finally getting the chance to be assessed for regularization.
Seeing this, Su Yuyao gestured to Lin Luochen, “Alright, you go down too!”
Lin Luochen bowed to Zhao Shouren and the others before stepping down from the platform, walking into the crowd amidst everyone’s doubt.
The Unofficial Disciples didn’t recognize him, nor did the newly recruited Disciples, he became the one who stood out from the crowd.
Since Zhao Shouren had come forward, he naturally had to say a few polite words, showing that standard sinister smile to everyone.
Everyone was already used to it, but the disciples below were terrified, thinking that they were going to be refined into corpse puppets.
True Person Cuiyin nudged him, displeased, “Stop smiling, get to the point!”
Zhao Shouren said dryly, “I won’t say any polite words, let’s start the Aptitude test!”
Two corpse puppets carried up a huge Bone Mirror, called the Bone Mirror.
It is said that this mirror can reveal the bone age of the person being illuminated and whether the spirit and flesh are compatible, to prevent body snatchers from sneaking in.
Everyone stepped forward one by one, and no one exceeding age or body snatchers were found.
Generally speaking, once cultivators miss the best age for cultivation, it is difficult for them to achieve much.
Of course, there are rare geniuses, but the Corpse Yin Sect doesn’t believe that it will fall on them, so it’s better to be cautious.
Lin Luochen was a little nervous at first, wondering if anything would go wrong with him.
After all, although he was not a body snatcher, he was a reborn person, and Qu Lingyin was still inside him.
But apparently he thought too much, he had many magical treasures on him, this Bone Mirror couldn’t see anything.
The second stage was to test the Spiritual Root, using the Spirit Testing Stone to test the type and purity of the Spiritual Root.
Everyone lined up to place their hands on the Spirit Testing Stone, and the round crystal lit up with various colors of light.
Lin Luochen took a look, most of them were Dual Spiritual Roots, or single Spiritual Roots, and those with Triple Spiritual Roots were few.
After all, those who passed the previous rounds of assessments naturally had good aptitudes.
Although the Corpse Yin Sect did not have high requirements for aptitude, it was still one of the Six Paths Sects of the Demonic Path, so its disciple recruitment was very strict.
From time to time, single attribute Heavenly Spiritual Roots or Mutated Spiritual Roots appeared in the crowd, causing exclamations and envy.
At this moment, the Spirit Testing Stone emitted five-colored spiritual light, illuminating the Fatty’s face with five colors.
Someone in the crowd laughed, “Mixed Spiritual Root?”
The Fatty was even more terrified, “Impossible, Elder Zhou clearly said my Spiritual Root is good!”
Someone mocked, “Just this Mixed Spiritual Root, and you say it’s good?”
But some people were dubious, “No, the colors don’t seem to be mixed?”
Everyone also noticed that the colors on the Fatty’s Spirit Testing Stone were clearly distinct and did not interfere with each other, which is why it illuminated him with five colors.
The Elder in charge of testing the Spiritual Root was excited, “Five Elements Heavenly Spiritual Root…, it’s a Five Elements Spiritual Physique!”
Zhao Shouren and the others were also surprised, unexpectedly there was a pleasant surprise.
In the Cultivation world, the superiority or inferiority of Spiritual Roots does not depend on the number of Spiritual Roots, but on the purity of the Spiritual Roots.
If it is only a single Spiritual Root, but the Spiritual Root is weak, and the Heaven and Earth Resonance is poor, then it is a useless Spiritual Root.
As long as the Spiritual Root is pure enough, and the ability to sense Heaven and Earth is high, even if it has five Spiritual Roots at the same time, it is a Heavenly Spiritual Root.
This Physique is called the Five Elements Spiritual Physique, which is a rare Physique, not a Mixed Spiritual Root.
The Five Elements Spiritual Physique can simultaneously absorb various Spiritual Powers for cultivation, and can adapt to any environment, which is a blessing.
However, generally speaking, the more Spiritual Roots there are, the easier it is for them to be mixed.
This is like pouring various colored sands into a bottle, but requiring them not to mix with each other.
Therefore, normally, the more single the Spiritual Root, the easier it is to have a Heavenly Spiritual Root.
At this moment, the legendary Five Elements Spiritual Physique actually appeared in the field, how could this not surprise people?
The Fatty didn’t know this, he just hesitated, “I’m not a useless Spiritual Root, am I? I won’t be kicked out, will I?”
Zhao Shouren squeezed out a smile, trying to look kind, “Of course not, who dares to kick you out?”
At this moment, his terrifying smile seemed so amiable in the Fatty’s eyes.
“Thank you, Sect Master!”
The Fatty happily went down, and the others proceeded with the Spirit testing in an orderly manner.
Although a woman with a Thunder Spiritual Root appeared during this period, it did not cause a great stir.
Everyone quickly finished the Spirit testing, and soon it was Lin Luochen’s turn, who was at the end of the line.
Everyone couldn’t help but be curious, what kind of aptitude did this suddenly appearing handsome man have?
Some people thought maliciously, wouldn’t it be all appearance and no substance?
