Chapter 5 Awakening

"hope?"

When Lu Li heard this, he looked at Fan Zhengping excitedly. When people are desperate, what they want most is hope. As long as there is hope, everything is possible.

"Yes, I hope." Fan Zhengping nodded, "As mortals, you naturally have no choice. If you have spiritual roots, the master may accept you as a disciple just like me."

Spiritual roots.

When he heard these two words, Lu Li softened and said disappointedly: "We participated in the Qingyang Sect's awakening ceremony, but we did not awaken our spiritual roots."

"No spiritual roots?" Fan Zhengping frowned at first, then stared at Lu Li, as if he had made some important decision, "Just wait."

After speaking, he rushed into the hall quickly. When Lu Li saw this, he was about to leave, but he glanced at the closed door next to him and sat back down.

Not to mention that Fatty Chen and Qin Shouren were still inside, he couldn't escape based on their speed alone.

In just a moment, Fan Zhengping ran back, sat back on the chair with a bunch of jade bottles in his pocket, and said: "These are the awakening pills that I secretly refined. There are one hundred and twenty pills in total. I will give them to him now." You guys. Eat together. If anyone awakens his spiritual roots, tell me and I’ll ask the master for mercy and see if I can get him to spare you.”

"Awakening Pill?" Lu Li looked at a pile of jade bottles and shook his head, "We have already eaten them."

"I know." Fan Zhengping explained: "Actually, the five spiritual roots are not the most rubbish spiritual roots in the world of cultivation. There are six, seven, eight, nine, and countless possible spiritual roots below the five spiritual roots. This kind of spiritual root It’s called Miscellaneous Spirit Root, and if you want to awaken it, you need a lot of Awakening Spirit Pills.”

"However, even if this kind of spiritual root is awakened, the cultivation speed will be slower than a turtle crawling. You may not be able to reach the first level of Qi training in your life, but it is better than no hope."

There is also this saying.

When Lu Li heard this, his dream of cultivation that had been extinguished was rekindled. Even if it was a miscellaneous spiritual root, as long as he could practice, he would not give up.

"Thank you." Lu Li grabbed all the jade bottles and wanted to give them a try no matter what the outcome was.

Afterwards, the two briefly exchanged a few words, and Lu Li couldn't wait to walk towards the room.

He first came to Room 3, found Chen Zhong, handed four jade bottles to him, and explained to him what had just happened. Unexpectedly, Fatty Chen cursed Lu Li for being a bitch and refused to accept them at all.

Lu Li had no choice but to put the jade bottle on the ground, and then went to Qin Shouren's room. Although Qin Shouren felt uncomfortable, he took the jade bottle without hesitation when he heard that there was hope.

Fan Zhengping, who was behind him, saw everything with his eyes and thought that this boy had a lot of experience and a stable personality. If he could awaken his miscellaneous spiritual roots, it might be possible for him to enter the first level of Qi training and use some immortal methods in this life.

Seeing that Lu Li had finished distributing the food, Fan Zhengping stood up, locked the door and left.

Lu Li sat on the weeds and started swallowing the Awakening Pill.

With so many awakening pills, even a major spiritual sect like Qingyang Sect would never allow a mortal to squander it like this. Speaking of which, I really have to thank Fan Zhengping for his kindness in his heart.

As a pill entered his mouth, Lu Li quickly stared at himself, but unfortunately, there was no reaction at all.

A quarter of an hour later, Lu Li sighed helplessly and inserted another one.

.......

Before he knew it, three hours had passed, and he had taken eighteen Awakening Pills, but unfortunately, his body still didn't react at all.

But at this moment, a fist suddenly stretched out from the small hole in the wall next to it, and at the same time Qin Shouren's trembling voice came: "Mud Monkey, Mud Monkey, look, am I awakening... .”

Lu Li was stunned, grabbed Qin Shouren's hand, looked at the faint mist emerging from it, and exclaimed: "Beast, damn, you... you are really awake!"

"Hahaha, I'm awake, I have spiritual roots, I can become an immortal!" Qin Shouren pulled his hand back and shouted in the room.

Not long after, Lu Li heard Qin Shouren running to the wall next to Chen Zhong to show off. Chen Zhong was similar to Lu Li. He suddenly looked at the jade bottles beside the door and ran over staggeringly.

It's late at night.

Lu Li had already eaten all the forty Awakening Pills, but there was still no sign of awakening. Lu Li's heart almost died and he fell helplessly on the hay.

Early the next morning, Lu Li was awakened by Qin Shouren's excited voice again. It turned out that... Fatty Chen had also awakened.

Lu Li was shocked and fell silent.

Around noon, Fan Zhengping came again and opened the door to let Lu Li and the others go out for some fresh air.

When he heard that both Chen Zhong and Qin Shouren had successfully awakened their spiritual roots, Fan Zhengping was greatly surprised and said that he would help them plead with their master to let them stay and help him refine elixirs.

"Nihou, I still have twenty-five awakening pills here. You can try them again." Seeing that Lu Li was unhappy, Qin Shouren turned around and went back to the room and took out three jade bottles.

Chen Zhong also returned to the room, took out three jade vases, and said, "I also have twenty of them here. On the Immortal Road, none of our three brothers can be missing."

Lu Li didn't want to take it at first. Forty spiritual roots couldn't be awakened. Even if they were awakened, it would probably be trash. However, seeing the hopeful looks in their eyes, Lu Li took it anyway.

Fan Zhengping didn't know if he had been alone for too long, but when he saw Chen Zhong and the two awakening, he was explaining their cultivation methods incessantly. Lu Li, who was listening beside him, was confused and could not help but feel envious in his eyes.

By sunset, Fan Zhengping finally finished his story.

Then several people rushed to the kitchen and were busy cooking. They were really happy.

Lu Li was absent-minded all the time. After dinner, he returned to his room and started to drink pills crazily.

Disappointment always came again and again. After one night, Lu Li ate thirty pills, but still failed to awaken successfully. There were only five remaining awakening pills.

The next day, Lu Li did not go out again.

Chen Zhong and the others came to see him in the room. They comforted him but there was no way, so they left helplessly.

"No, I can't just give up like this."

Lu Li looked at the last jade bottle and opened the cork despite his fatigue.

One.

Two.

Three.

Suddenly, Lu Li's body was shining brightly, and nine colors of light, gold, green, blue, red, brown, white, purple, black, and bright yellow, shone through his body.

"This!"

Lu Li's body trembled with excitement, and he shouted: "Awakened, I'm awakened!"

Chen Zhong and Qin Shouren outside looked at each other and rushed in. When they saw the condition of Lu Li, they rubbed their eyes: "What's going on?"

Although there was a faint multi-colored light on their awakening, it was not as terrifying as Lu Li's, as if the whole person was glowing.

Fan Zhengping also ran in and swallowed his saliva involuntarily when he saw Lu Li: "Is this... really the performance of awakening spiritual roots?"

Chen Zhong and Qin Shouren were stunned when they heard the words, "Could it be that this is not awakening?"

"This, I don't know." Fan Zhengping was puzzled. He had never heard of such an awakening. Unfortunately, he was only at the first level of Qi training. It is said that after the awakening is successful, the foundation-building master can directly detect what kind of spiritual roots the other party has.
