Chapter 169: Old Memories Part 1

Hearing this, Gu Xuanzhan was relieved.

He was afraid that Gu Changhuan would be unable to think straight and confront the Taoist Master Dangmo, which would be like hitting a rock with an egg.

Fortunately, Gu Changhuan had come out of retreat, so he didn't need to stay in Yuqing Town.

If Gu Xuanzhan returned to Bifeng Mountain, the Taoist Master Dangmo would have no excuse to stay.

On this side, the Taoist Master Dangmo returned to his temporary residence and thought of Gu Changhuan, who had just met at a young age and reached the sixth level of foundation building, and Chi Jin, who had reached the sixth level of Qi training at a young age. After a sigh, he fell into memories.

Although these family members can be taken care of regardless of their spiritual roots, it is different in the sect. Except for a few genius disciples with excellent qualifications, other disciples are difficult to be valued.

Because of their mediocre qualifications and no backing, their treatment is only mediocre. They have to spend a lot of time to perform sect tasks, and they cannot lag behind in interpersonal communication, otherwise many opportunities will pass by.

The only two advantages are that he has a big power behind him, and people from other powers dare not offend him easily. The other is that he can stay in the high-level spiritual vein for a long time. As long as his aptitude is not bad, he can always cultivate to the ninth level of Qi training before his Qi and blood begin to decline.

The Taoist of Demon Slayer was originally just a Qi training disciple of Haoran Sect with mediocre aptitude and no background. There are more than ten thousand people of this Qi training stage in the Yuanying forces like Haoran Sect.

The reason why he can achieve what he has now is mostly because his body is a thunder spirit root.

This sounds contradictory. Thunder spirit roots are different spirit roots, and their cultivation talent is second only to spirit bodies and heavenly spirit roots. How can they have mediocre aptitude?

This matter has to start from the beginning. Back then, the Taoist of Demon Slayer was just an outer disciple of Haoran Sect in the middle stage of Qi training.

Because he didn't know how to deal with things and often offended people, he was finally sent to the secular town to check the spirit roots of children.

This is naturally not a good job.

Not only do they need to run around for several days within the deadline, but if they bring back too few children with spiritual roots, they will be blamed by the manager, and even the mission income will be deducted.

Unless they can meet people with natural spiritual roots, special spiritual roots, or even rarer spiritual bodies, they can get more rewards, otherwise the little reward given by the sect is not even enough for running errands.

It is rare to see a cultivator with natural spiritual roots in a hundred years. The Taoist Dangmo does not think he has the good luck to find a cultivator with natural spiritual roots in the area he is responsible for.

The qualifications of double spiritual roots are nothing in Haoran Sect, just a slight advantage.

The Taoist Dangmo was naturally unwilling to take this task, but he could not give up the identity of Haoran Sect's outer sect disciple.

So he went anyway.

The area that the Taoist Dangmo was responsible for was remote, and he was accompanied by an outer sect senior brother who was in the ninth level of Qi training.

After arriving at the place, the senior brother relied on his higher cultivation level to be absent from the work of checking spiritual roots every now and then. However, he was still kind and gave some advice to the Taoist Master Dangmo on his cultivation.

Now, even if the Taoist Master Dangmo was dissatisfied, he could not say anything and could only be responsible for the spiritual testing alone.

If there were too few children with spiritual roots brought back, the person in charge would definitely not give him a good face.

He ran to seven or eight towns, and there were many children with spiritual roots, but most of them were four or five spiritual roots. Their qualifications did not meet the standards of the Haoran Sect. If there were no special circumstances, the Haoran Sect would not accept them at all.

The minimum standard for the Haoran Sect to accept disciples was three spiritual roots, and the Taoist Master Dangmo himself was just a cultivator with three spiritual roots.

Therefore, there were not many children who could meet the standards of the Haoran Sect. There were only twenty-three children in the eight towns combined.

Seeing that there were only two towns left to be checked and there was not much time left, the senior brother began to worry.

So he decided to go his own way with the Taoist Exorcist, one going to a different city, so as not to delay the return flight and be punished by the manager.

The Taoist Exorcist naturally agreed.

So the Taoist Exorcist rushed to a town called Yintan City, where he met the boy who changed his path.

Like several times before, he looked indifferent as the cautious children entered the house alone, walked in front of him, and then put their hands on the spirit-detecting instrument to detect their spiritual roots. However, hundreds of children passed by, and the spirit-detecting instrument did not light up at all.

Just when the Taoist Exorcist was about to lose his patience, a thin boy walked in front of him.

The Taoist Exorcist glanced at him casually without saying a word.

The boy nervously put his hand on a spirit-detecting instrument, and after two breaths, the spirit-detecting instrument emitted a faint purple-blue thunder light.

It turned out to be a thunder spirit root!

After discovering that the boy in front of him was actually a cultivator with thunder spirit roots, the Taoist was naturally ecstatic!

Because this way, the reward for his trip could be doubled!

If a cultivator with different spirit roots is lucky, it is possible to form a golden elixir. If he makes friends with the boy in front of him, at least he will have a chance to build a foundation!

But when he thought about currying favor with a boy, the Taoist felt that God was unfair. Why was he born in the same ordinary world as this boy?

Why was he just an ordinary three-spiritual root, while this boy was a cultivator with different spirit roots?

Why wasn't he a cultivator with thunder spirit roots?

Thinking of this, the Taoist suddenly had a crazy idea, which he had heard people say before:

Some cultivators with poor qualifications would take over the bodies of cultivators with lower cultivation but better spiritual roots than him. He even heard that some of the elders' descendants in the inner sect had done this before...

Although the Haoran Sect strictly prohibits disciples from taking over bodies, this person is not yet a disciple of the Haoran Sect, and as long as he does it cleanly, no one will find out...ŴŴŴ.

Thinking of this, the Taoist suddenly laughed, and the mortal city lord beside him didn't know why, so he also smiled.

Then the city lord introduced the child's background.

"This child is called Chen An. His parents are farmers outside the city. There has never been anyone with a destiny to be an immortal in his ancestors. This is the first one!"

The Taoist Master Dangmo laughed even happier after hearing this. He said, "Since this child has a destiny to be an immortal, he must enter the immortal gate of my Haoran Sect.

Chen An, you go home and wait for more than a month. My Haoran Sect has other ways to deal with such an excellent disciple like you. By the way, this matter is of great importance. You must not tell others. Do you understand?"

The Taoist Master Dangmo said at the end with a serious face, and even a hint of murderous intent.

The city lord naturally did not dare to disobey and repeatedly agreed.

Even Chen An's parents did not reveal anything to their relatives and friends after knowing this matter.

Seeing this, the Taoist Master Dangmo smiled with satisfaction and handed Chen An a jade pendant.

"It is estimated that we will be brothers in the same sect soon. This is a gift from me, your senior brother. Please accept it!"

Chen An did not dare to refuse and accepted it anxiously.
