A Slave's Path to Blood Enlightenment

Chapter 1

"Lin Xuan, useless spiritual root, eliminated!"

"Next one!"

The people around who heard the result of the immortal envoy's verdict all cast regretful expressions toward the young man on the stage, but their private discussions were different.

"This is the heir of the Lin family."

"He has a good appearance, but he is not destined to join the immortal sect."

"How can spiritual root aptitude be equal to appearance? I think the Lin family has done too many evil things, and they deserve it!"

"Don't say this casually. Master Xuan is different from those playboys. He has never bullied the people."

"Hehe... just a waste, why don't you get off!"

This last sentence was not said by a bystander.

It was said by the young man standing outside the team. He was dressed in brocade and gorgeous clothes, with a handsome face, a green jade on his waist, and a landscape ink fan in his hand, clapping his palms, with a face full of arrogance.

His name is Lin Wu, and he is a cousin of Lin Xuan. He is only sixteen years old, but he has tested his spiritual roots first. He is a genius with dual spiritual roots and is expected to build a foundation.

The fathers of the two were brothers, and both were expected to inherit the position of the next head of the family. The fight between the fathers extended to their children, which caused the two to be at odds.

Lin Xuan clenched his fists, turned around, and left the spirit test platform without saying much.

Even though he had never thought of himself as a genius, he had never thought that he was a useless spiritual root. With such qualifications, let alone building a foundation, it was a problem whether he could break through the middle stage of Qi training.

Since he was reborn from the mother's womb and solved the mystery in the womb, he has been in this world of practice for sixteen years. He has a magical "plug-in" called—[Placement Bar]!

As the name suggests, it can place things.

But real objects cannot be placed in it. In the past sixteen years, he placed books such as "Thousand Characters," "Eight Methods of Yongzi," "Detailed Explanation of Human Meridians," "Qihuang Wonderful Scroll," etc.

As long as you flip through it roughly, you can place it in the [Placement Bar], which is equivalent to another him who has been studying, pondering the content, and practicing.

Never tired, never stops!

For example, after leaving the Thousand Characters for a few days, he could read through it. Even if he did nothing, he could recognize many characters.

This effect can undoubtedly save a lot of time in cultivation, but the immortal sect has its own rules for accepting disciples.

[Shihu City] where the Lin family is located is under the jurisdiction of [Lingjiu Sect]. The young people of the city will test their spiritual roots every year, and they will officially embark on the road of cultivation at the age of sixteen.

In this world, everyone has spiritual roots, which are divided into six levels from top to bottom.

Single spiritual roots, also known as heavenly spiritual roots, are the best qualifications below the spiritual body and are guaranteed to be sent to the realm of Jindan Zhenren, and it is difficult to produce one in a hundred years.

Double spiritual roots, also known as upper-grade spiritual roots, have a great probability of building a foundation, are good materials and beautiful jade, and are relatively rare.

Three spiritual roots, also known as middle-grade spiritual roots, are also the spiritual root qualifications of most cultivators in this world. They have the skills of practicing Qi, and basically can practice Qi practice before the end of their lives.

Four spiritual roots, belonging to the lower-grade spiritual roots, also known as "miscellaneous spiritual roots," have poor qualifications and are difficult to build a foundation in their lifetime.

Five spiritual roots are the useless spiritual roots that Lin Xuan has. It is difficult to refine spiritual energy, and it is difficult to break through the fourth level of Qi training in this life.

The last level is "broken spiritual roots," which cannot sense spiritual energy; that is, they are mortals who cannot practice.

Qualification cannot determine the end of a cultivator, but it can determine a person's starting point. The difficulty here refers to the upper limit that can be reached under the same resource cultivation.

There may be people in the world who can change their fate against the will of heaven.

But he, Lin Xuan, lost at the starting point. Lingjiu Sect is not a top immortal sect, but it will not accept disciples with useless spiritual roots, and there are not so many resources for cultivation.

Even if they are recruited to be menials, four spiritual roots are the first choice.

And Lin Wu's dual spiritual root qualification means that once he joins Lingjiu Sect, he will become a foundation seed and get resources tilted. The battle for the head of the family has been lost.

The spiritual measurement platform was opened in the square of the city lord's mansion. Lin Xuan left without looking back. Some friends who had a good relationship with him turned their heads and didn't even dare to say hello. This is the reality.

The world is fickle and changes in an instant.

Lin's Courtyard.

Lin Xuan pushed the door open and looked at his father who was burning incense in front of his mother's spirit tablet with some guilt.

"You know?"

"Yes."

Lin Chongwen bowed lightly in front of the incense table, inserted three incense sticks into the incense burner, and whispered.

"If Lin Wu only had three spiritual roots, his father would still have a chance to compete, but he has two spiritual roots.

"Lingjiu Sect will be his backing, and the City Lord's Mansion will also favor him. Pack up and prepare to leave Shihu City."

Lin Xuan couldn't help but ask.

"Are you worried that your uncle will kill you?"

"He won't, but Lin Wu will."

"........."

Lin Xuan was silent for a moment.

You can't rely on the kindness of others for your life. The competition for the head of the family is fierce, and Lin Wu is stubborn. He often rides his horse to injure people and robs women. There are also cases of servants in his family being whipped to death. He is a famous playboy in Shihu City.
