Chapter 2: Single Spiritual Root

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou now had only one thought in their minds: they were finished, they had unexpectedly discussed how to cheat in front of the examiner.

Eldest Senior Sister Yun Zhi acted as if she didn't know the two people's cheating plan, glancing once and then not looking a second time, she began to organize the test.

It could be seen that she had a lot of prestige among the Wen Dao Sect disciples, her orders were followed without question.

These Wen Dao Sect disciples, placed in the outside world, were all figures who caused a stir, received flattery from others, they were the proud sons of heaven. These proud sons of heaven all obeyed her commands, without the slightest resistance or slacking, which showed that Eldest Senior Sister Yun Zhi held a very high position.

"Bone structure is the first checkpoint on the path to becoming immortal. Without enough bone structure, no matter how many resources are poured in, one cannot cultivate immortality. The content of the first checkpoint test is to test bone structure. Everyone please come forward in turn. If anyone is not confident about their bone structure, they can leave on their own."

No one left.

Those who could participate in the Wen Dao Sect test all had an understanding of their own bone structure. Very few were like Lu Yang, who just came to Wen Dao Sect to try their luck because it was close to home.

The purpose of Wen Dao Sect doing this was to prevent those who didn't meet Wen Dao Sect's bone structure requirements and wanted to sneak into Wen Dao Sect from doing so.

Generally speaking, the bone structure is tested using a bone structure stone, which is extremely large and very conspicuous. Looking at the empty area in front of Wen Dao Sect, it was clear that Wen Dao Sect did not plan to use a bone structure stone.

One Wen Dao Sect disciple sat at the very front, named Dai Bufan. The cultivation method he practiced was very special. The spiritual energy could wander around inside the other party's body and reveal what the other party's bone structure was, what cultivation method they practiced, where their life gate was... he was like a fish in water in battle.

Dai Bufan was like an old traditional Chinese doctor taking a pulse, placing two fingers on the wrist, he could accurately know the other party's bone structure.

"Gold, water, fire three spiritual roots? Passable, you go over there."

"Water and fire dual spiritual roots, not bad."

"Water and wood dual spiritual roots, the root foundation was once damaged. It should have been the major injury you suffered when you were twelve years old. According to reason, it should have left hidden dangers, but your fate should not have ended. You encountered a high person, that high person was kind, took action to cure you, and their medical skills were even more exquisite, completely supplementing your root foundation."

That person was slightly shocked, not expecting Dai Bufan to see so accurately: "When I was twelve years old, my mother died of illness. My stepmother held power alone. My stepmother worried that my existence would affect her son's position, so she designed to harm me. I fell into a coma. When I woke up again, the harm was gone. My father told me that at that time a high person passed by, saved me, and left without leaving a name when they departed."

After that person walked away, Wen Dao Sect disciples came forward to congratulate Dai Bufan on his further cultivation: "Just by taking a pulse once, you deduced the cause and effect of the matter, as if you saw it yourself! Senior Brother Dai's cultivation has progressed, we ought to celebrate!"

Dai Bufan said faintly: "Oh, this is nothing. That high person was me. At that time, I was in a hurry to travel, and after saving someone, I forgot to leave my name."

"......"

While speaking, Dai Bufan waved his hand to the next testee: "Eighteen years old, over the age limit, you go back."

A cute little monk, led by a big monk, came to Dai Bufan. He bowed earnestly.

Dai Bufan glanced at him, and then put the little monk back to the big monk: "What are the novice monks of Xuankong Temple doing here? You have the imprint left by the abbot of Xuankong Temple in your body. Go, go, go, go back to your Xuankong Temple."

"I remember Xuankong Temple is one of the five great immortal sects?" Lu Yang quietly asked Meng Jingzhou.

Meng Jingzhou nodded, and said seriously: "Xuankong Temple is the one with the fewest disciples among the five great immortal sects. At the least populated times, they only have the abbot and one disciple. Most of the time, the number does not exceed ten people. This little monk has not yet cultivated, but is already a disciple of Xuankong Temple. He must have a deep Buddha nature."

He looked at the little novice monk being taken away by the Xuankong Temple senior brother, as if facing a great enemy: "I originally thought that the future cultivation world would be me looking down on all the heroes, but unexpectedly, there is still someone who has the qualification to become my opponent."

Lu Yang also didn't know where Meng Jingzhou's confidence came from: "Aren't you a little worried that Girl Yun Zhi will kick us out?"

"What's there to fear? Don't you see how it's written in storybooks and novels? A large sect is blind, falsely accuses and frames, and kicks a genius youth out of the sect. The genius youth takes this as a shame, strives for self-improvement, encounters keep coming, soars to the sky, and becomes an existence that the large sect looks down on, oh no, looks up to."

Lu Yang was silent for a while and then reminded him: "...... But Girl Yun Zhi doesn't seem to need to falsely accuse us."

"That's reasonable."

Thus, Meng Jingzhou also panicked.

"Endless breath in the body, self-circulating. Looking at your clothes, you don't seem to be from a cultivation family. Could it be that you accidentally consumed the Qingmu Immortal Fruit in your childhood? Go over there."

"Eh, your physique is a bit interesting." Dai Bufan's fingers touched the body of a bronze-skinned sturdy man, his eyes lit up, "Ancient barbarian race bloodline, indeed it has been a long time since I last saw it."

The sturdy man was tall and strong, with a shiny bald head. His skin reflected light under the sunlight. Looking at his appearance, people would believe he was twenty-five or twenty-six years old, but Dai Bufan did not question his age, explaining that he had not yet reached sixteen years old.

Lu Yang could only say that he developed really well.

The crowd slightly stirred. The ancient barbarian race had the power to pull up mountains and rivers, their energy could swallow the sun and moon, and they were prosperous to the extreme, then they vanished in the long river of time.

The Central Continent had not seen the ancient barbarian race bloodline for a very long time. Everyone thought this ancient bloodline had already disappeared without a trace. Now, one unexpectedly appeared during the Wen Dao Sect test.

Dai Bufan yawned. He had already checked half the people. Why hadn't he seen a single spiritual root? Had they all been snatched away by other sects?

Meng Jingzhou stood up boldly and upright. Dai Bufan didn't hold out much hope, but when he placed his index finger and middle finger on Meng Jingzhou's wrist, his eyes suddenly widened, and he stood up quickly: "Unexpectedly, it's a single..."

Hearing Dai Bufan say so, discussions arose below. Unexpectedly, it was a single spiritual root!

What did a single spiritual root mean? It meant that the bottlenecks in various realms were much looser compared to others, destined to become great cultivators on the immortal path, enter the court and hold high positions, occupy a territory in the wilderness, and establish themselves as kings!

The crowd's gazes were fixed on Meng Jingzhou, their eyes fervent. Making friends with such a person early on was beneficial, only beneficial!

The elders were busy instructing the younger generations, telling them that after entering Wen Dao Sect, they must build a good relationship with Meng Jingzhou.

A person from the Meng family, with a single spiritual root, a disciple of Wen Dao Sect, these three identities combined meant he would be a real power figure in Wen Dao Sect in the future, a great cultivation power whose name would be left in history!

"Single body spiritual root." Dai Bufan stated the full name of Meng Jingzhou's spiritual root, and the scene became quiet for it.

Meng Jingzhou suddenly became angry. What was this 'single body spiritual root'? Was he destined to be single his whole life?!

"I know little, don't fool me!" Meng Jingzhou's veins bulged, and he slapped the table with a loud bang, very angry.

"Junior Brother Dai, don't play tricks on others." An ethereal voice like an immortal transmitted, Yun Zhi appeared from a cloud of mist, glaring at Dai Bufan. Dai Bufan guiltily shrunk his neck.

Meng Jingzhou then calmed down slightly. Right, it must be Dai Bufan deceiving him.

Yun Zhi said to Meng Jingzhou again: "However, Junior Brother Dai did not deceive you. You are indeed a single body spiritual root. This is the scholarly name. However, in the cultivation world, everyone is more accustomed to calling it by its common name, pure yang spiritual root."

Meng Jingzhou: "......"

He finally knew the reason why the elders and parents in his clan didn't tell him about his spiritual root.

What did he mean he would only know after arriving at the five great immortal sects? It was clearly because they were too embarrassed to tell him!

No wonder ever since he completed his bone structure test, his parents asked him if he wanted a younger brother or a younger sister.

A variant single spiritual root, pure yang spiritual root, extremely rigid and yang, the nemesis of ghosts and monsters.

Maintaining a pure yang body, cultivation advances by leaps and bounds. Breaking the pure yang body, cultivation declines rapidly.
