Mortal Seeking Immortal

Chapter 6 Wasteful Spiritual Roots

Looking at the dozens of white hills in the open space, how many people would have to die to pile up so many mountains of corpses?

Ye Zhou felt cold in his heart.

What kind of fairy gate is this? It is clearly the legendary purgatory!

Ye Zhou was even more determined that he must find a way to escape from the Immortal Sect in the future.

Before Ye Zhou could recover, the lotus leaves had slowly fallen to the ground.

There was a flash of green light, and the lotus leaves under his feet turned into a ray of green light and disappeared around the waist of the black-robed immortal.

Ye Zhou looked forward.

In front of him was an antique hall, with curls of green smoke rising in the hall. A thin old man with white eyebrows was sitting cross-legged in the center of the hall.

At this time, two children of the same age as Ye Zhou were standing in front of the skinny old man. One of the children had his hand on the rotating array plate in front of the skinny old man.

The black-robed Immortal Chief and Ye Zhou stood respectfully outside the hall.

Slowly, the formation disk stopped rotating and emitted a soft white light, with five golden characters faintly flashing in the white light.

Before Ye Zhou could see clearly what these words meant, the skinny old man folded his sleeves and put away the array disk.

"This child has useless spiritual roots. Staying in the sect to practice is a waste of practice resources. Take him away and deal with it yourself." The skinny old man opened his mouth and let out a high-pitched and harsh voice, which sounded like a crowing rooster.

"yes."

The man in black robe who was waiting nearby grabbed the child, and before the child could struggle, a small black cauldron that was very familiar to Ye Zhou covered his head.

A crisp sound of bones breaking came from the child's neck, and a white mist-like thing was sucked into the small black cauldron. Looking at the child again, his face was already pale and he had no breath.

This familiar scene frightened Ye Zhou. The child obviously didn't do anything, but just because of the old man's words, he died and his soul was taken away.

Fear left Ye Zhou without a master, and the idea of ​​leaving the Immortal Sect had long been forgotten. Er Zhuang and Gou Shengzi beside him were so frightened that they started crying.

But before he could cry twice, the black-robed immortal stopped him with his eyes.

"You bastard! How dare you kill someone on Bloody Cloud Peak! If you disturbed the leader, Qingxiu, I'll take it from you." The skinny old man's face was gloomy, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes as he looked at the man in black robes.

"I beg the second elder to atone for my sins. This disciple will never dare to do it again." The man in black robe was so frightened by the words of the thin old man that he knelt on the ground and trembled.

"roll."

The second elder said a word and asked the man in black robe to carry the remaining child with his sword and leave quickly. The body left on the spot was burnt to pieces by a fireball between the second elder's fingers.

"Second Elder, these three children are here to help the elder test their spiritual roots." After the black-robed man left, the black-robed immortal bowed respectfully to the second elder and pushed Ye Zhou and the others in front of the second elder.

"Well, the doll has been brought here. You can go back to the foreign mission hall to resume your life!"

The black-robed immortal said respectfully: "I obey!"

The elder said: "You three little kids, come here."

The two Zhuangs were frightened by the scene just now, and walked up to the second elder in horror.

The formation disk appeared again in the second elder's hand.

Only then did Ye Zhou see the entire formation clearly.

It was a palm-sized five-element formation plate with the five characters gold, wood, water, fire, and earth marked on it.

Ye Zhou not only exercises secretly, but Xiaohua also teaches him how to read. He still has the ability to understand and recognize words.

"Put your hands on the array plate and close your eyes." The second elder said, and the second elder closest to him did so.

The second elder recited a few mantras in a low voice, and saw the array plate in his hand began to rotate rapidly. At the moment it was about to stop, a white light suddenly emitted from the array plate, and four words appeared in the white light.

Ye Zhou recognized these four characters as gold, wood, earth, and fire.

The second elder said expressionlessly: "If you have low-grade spiritual roots, you can join my Blood Spirit Sect."

It turned out that the name of the Immortal Sect was the Blood Spirit Sect. Ye Zhou's heart sank. This name did not sound like the name of an Immortal Sect.

Knowing that he had escaped, Er Zhuang looked a little more relaxed and walked to the side to stand still.

The next person to test the spiritual roots was Gou Shengzi.

Following the second elder's instructions, he tremblingly placed his hand on the formation disk, which continued to rotate rapidly.

Then, the array plate in the second elder's hand glowed again, and this time only three words appeared on it, namely gold, fire, and earth.

Seeing this scene, a smile appeared on the second elder's face.

"It turns out to be a middle-grade spiritual root. Your qualifications are very good." The second elder looked at Gou Shengzi with admiration, with a smile in his eyes.

This scene fell into Ye Zhou's dark eyes, as if he understood something.

It seems that the grade of this spiritual root is related to the number of words that appear on the array plate. If the number of words is small, the spiritual root is good, but if the number of words is high, the spiritual root is poor. I don’t know what grade my spiritual root is? Ye Zhou only asked not to use five words, otherwise he would end up like the child just now.

Gou Shengzi walked to Er Zhuang and stood next to him with a relaxed expression. Next, it was Ye Zhou's turn to test his spiritual roots.

When Ye Zhou came back to his senses, he saw the second elder looking at him and realized that it was his turn. Ye Zhou hurriedly stepped forward, stood in front of the second elder, and nervously put his little hands on the array plate.

Ye Zhou closed his eyes and prayed silently in his heart. He must not be a useless spirit root. He doesn't want to die yet!

After waiting for a moment, Ye Zhou heard the sound of the array disk rotating stopping. He couldn't help but open his eyes and saw a white light that pleased him on the array disk in front of him.

There were just a lot of words floating on the white light. Ye Zhou counted five of them!

The joy on his face suddenly stopped, his face was as pale as paper, and his hands and feet were cold.

The second elder said expressionlessly: "Another useless spiritual root, take him away and deal with him."

This sentence was tantamount to sentencing Ye Zhou to death on the spot!

Er Zhuang and Gou Shengzi, who were standing by, heard this and a trace of worry rose on their faces at the same time. They all came from the same village, but now they had to watch Ye Zhou die in front of them with their own eyes.

They looked at the second elder, wanting to plead for Ye Zhou, but they were afraid that the second elder would vent his anger on them, so they could only lower their heads silently.

At this moment, Ye Zhou's heart tightened.

I thought that I could live a fairy life like a god after coming to the immortal gate, but I didn't expect that luck was not on his side.

Recalling the scenes of hard training and persistence when he was a child, Ye Zhou couldn't help but clench his little hands hanging beside him.

How can there be a glimmer of hope?

He was unwilling and didn't want to die here like this!

But there was a cliff behind him, and there were immortal disciples who could fly swords around him. Where could he escape to? If he had known about this immortal gate, he should not have come. If he had stayed in Yejia Village, he might have had a chance of survival, but now he was doomed.

A sound of breaking through the air sounded behind him. It was the disciples of the immortal gate who came here on orders.

Ye Zhou's face was pale, and he kept begging the elder: "Immortal, please accept me. I can do anything you want me to do. I can chop wood, cook..."

He couldn't give up the last chance to survive. The disciples of the immortal gate didn't dare to kill him on this mountain. Once he left the mountain, he was afraid that he would die in an instant, so he racked his brains to think about what he could do, hoping that the second elder would change his mind.

But the second elder had already closed his eyes indifferently.
