The Pine Forest is only a few dozen miles away from the Luoxia Peak. With Yu Xiao's current strength, he can reach it in less than half an hour by using the Soaring Cloud Technique.

This is still the time it takes for him to stop and recover his mana. If the mana in his body is stronger, the speed can be faster.

In fact, Yu Xiao thought more than once that it would be great if there was a flying magic weapon for traveling. This would save a lot of mana and time.

It's a pity that the registered disciple only has one chance to choose a magic weapon, and flying magic weapons are not strictly needed, so he naturally chooses a self-defense attack magic weapon.

After all, there are many demonic beasts that have become spirits in the Chiyun Mountains. The disciples of the sect often travel between the peaks, so it is impossible not to have some means of self-defense.

Generally, if a disciple wants to obtain a magic weapon, he or she must exchange it with merit points or buy it with spiritual stones.

The most common low-grade magic weapon costs about one hundred spiritual stones, and a better one requires one hundred and fifty spiritual stones. The price is not expensive, but for Yu Xiao, it is still a bit too expensive.

In the past five years, he has also accumulated some spiritual stones, but he has not purchased any magic weapons. Most of them have been used to buy Qi-boosting pills from other senior brothers. Now he only has twenty spiritual stones left.

In addition, he has accumulated a lot of merit points, and he doesn't know if he can exchange them for a good flying magic weapon.

During this trip, I happened to go to Luoxiafeng Alchemy Hall, and stopped by Gongde Hall to have a look.

Half an hour later, a majestic peak towering into the clouds appeared among the mountains in the distance, which was Luoxia Peak.

Yu Xiao collected the magic formula, got down, and walked to the chore hall of the Alchemy Hall. At this time, there were already many registered disciples there waiting for the rotation of chore tasks.

When most of the registered disciples in the hall had left, it was Yu Xiao's turn to take charge of the sect's chores.

The person who rotated chores with him was a disciple with a gentle face.

Yu Xiao couldn't see through his cultivation. It was certain that the opponent's strength was definitely above his. This kind of aura fluctuation was at least the fifth level of Qi refining.

Such registered disciples are very likely to become disciples in the future.

In the Fuguang Sect, there are so many registered disciples. If you want to become a disciple of any peak, you must either be extremely talented and possess perfect or flawless spiritual roots, or you must cultivate to the seventh level of Qi Refining within fifteen years, otherwise you will remain a registered disciple for the rest of your life.

Yu Xiao obviously does not belong to the former group.

This world belongs to immortal cultivators, and only those with spiritual roots can embark on the path of cultivation.

And not everyone has spiritual roots. Among thousands of mortals, only a few people have spiritual roots.

Even people with the same spiritual roots are divided into high and low.

The spiritual root is divided into five elements and four grades. The so-called five elements are metal, wood, water, fire and earth, while the fourth grade is flawless, perfect, defective and defective.

Yu Xiao's spiritual roots belong to water and fire, and his character is lacking. His qualifications are neither high nor low, and can only be considered average.

In fact, 99% of people with spiritual roots have defective character. The remaining 1% of people may be born with perfect spiritual roots, and there are almost tens of millions of people with flawless spiritual roots.

Only one in ten thousand people.

The attributes of the spiritual root determine how many routes you can take. The more attributes you have, the more paths you can choose, and vice versa.

The character of the spiritual root determines the monk's cultivation speed and upper limit.

For people with weak spiritual roots, building the foundation is just a hurdle, let alone forming the elixir later.

And if you have missing spiritual roots, it may be a little difficult to build foundations and form pills, but it is not impossible. It is just inferior to a perfect spiritual root.

As for the flawless spiritual root, there will basically be no obstacles to foundation building and pill formation, and the speed of cultivation is extremely fast. He is the most favored among the most favored persons.

Such existences are basically monsters, and they have left their mark in history throughout the ages.

There are not a few people in the Fuguang Sect who have perfect spiritual roots, and people like Yu Xiao who lack spiritual roots are everywhere. If you want to become a disciple, you have to have some means.

When Fu Rongjing, a deacon disciple of the Dantang Miscellaneous Hall, saw the man with a gentle face, he ignored Yu Xiao and started chatting with him, "It turns out to be Junior Brother Jia. I haven't seen you for a few months. Your cultivation has improved a lot.

"

"Thanks to Senior Brother Fu's care, I was lucky enough to break through the sixth level of Qi Refining some time ago." The disciple surnamed Jia replied with a smile. When he told about his cultivation level, many of the registered disciples present raised eyebrows.

Even Yu Xiao was slightly shocked. The sixth level of Qi Refining was only one step away from the disciples who entered the room.

"Junior Brother Jia, it's been eleven years since you came to Luoxia Peak. You still have four years to go, so hurry up." Fu Rongjing said pointedly, then glanced at Yu Xiao and couldn't help but frown.

Raise your brows.

This scene made Yu Xiao feel something was wrong.

Sure enough, before he could speak first, the disciple surnamed Jia on the side took the lead and said to him: "This junior brother, senior brother has an unkind request. Please agree to do this favor for senior brother."

Hearing this, Yu Xiao really didn't know what to say. He and the other party didn't know each other. If there was something he needed to agree to, this was obviously a threat.

But the strength of the other party is there. At the sixth level of Qi Refining, if nothing unexpected happens in the future, there is a high probability that he will become an intruder. Offending an intruder is not a wise choice.

After thinking for a moment, Yu Xiao replied in a deep voice: "Senior brother is joking, my cultivation level is low, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you."

The disciple surnamed Jia did not mince words, and directly stated his intention: "This junior brother, let me tell you the truth, I have recently practiced a body-refining method, and you need to temper your body in the Wind and Thunder Pond.

The senior brother's chores task is to guard the Feng Lei Pond, which can be regarded as the first to get the first moon, so the senior brother begs the junior brother not to rotate the chores this time.

I also know that junior brother may not be satisfied with this arrangement, but the task of guarding the Wind and Thunder Pond is very important to senior brother, so this is a last resort, and senior brother is willing to compensate junior brother with fifty Qi-boosting pills."

At this point, Yu Xiao already understood what the other party meant, and naturally he felt quite resentful in his heart.

Fifty energy-absorbing pills may sound like a lot, but in exchange for spiritual stones, they only cost fifty yuan.

In one year, if he is lucky, he can earn more than fifty spiritual stones. No matter how he calculates this transaction, he will suffer a loss.

"This kind of thing... I'm afraid it's not good." Yu Xiao frowned and looked at Fu Rongjing, meaning that it was the sect's rule to take turns doing chores, and he, a registered disciple, couldn't make the decision.

At this time, Fu Rongjing said slowly from the side: "Junior Brother Yu, sect chores are arranged by each peak themselves. If both parties are willing, it is not impossible to adjust. This kind of thing often happens.

Besides, it’s not a bad thing to continue guarding the pine forest. It’s relaxing and leisurely, and you can also get Junior Brother Jia’s fifty pills for free. This deal is a good deal.”

Of course, Fu Rongjing didn't care whether Yu Xiao would suffer a loss or not. He was just a registered disciple at the third level of Qi Refining. The day he became a disciple would not be known until the day he became a disciple.

Yu Xiao smiled calmly, finally understanding in his heart that if he didn't agree, Fu Rongjing would give him little shoes to wear in the future, and he would definitely suffer the loss this time.

I think the other party also saw that he had just started and was easy to bully because of his low cultivation level. Otherwise, if he had been another registered disciple, he would never have received only fifty Qi-Building Pills.

"Okay, since the two senior brothers have said so, I agree to this matter." Yu Xiao sighed, even if he had thousands of dissatisfactions in his heart, he could only hold it in.

This is the world of immortal cultivators, where the weak eat the strong, and whoever has a bigger fist has the right to speak.

Seeing that Yu Xiao agreed decisively, Fu Rongjing nodded with satisfaction, and the disciple surnamed Jia also gave Yu Xiao fifty Qi Pills as agreed.

Coming out of the Dantang Miscellaneous Affairs Hall, Yu Xiao had a firm look on his face and was not affected by what happened before. He drove the clouds straight to the Merit Hall.

He has to stay in the pine forest for another year. If it were any other disciple, he might just complain, but he is different. He has the Immortal Mansion on the Clouds in the Sea of ​​Knowledge.

He needs more elixirs. The Immortal Palace can solve the problem of alchemy materials, and he needs to learn the art of alchemy as soon as possible.

Arriving at the Merit Hall, the disciple on duty checked Yu Xiao's identity token and quickly confirmed the merit points: "Junior brother, you already have 1,300 merit points. Do you want to redeem them for elixirs, or do you want to redeem them for elixirs?"

Where is the magic weapon?"

"Unknowingly, there are already so many." Yu Xiao held his chin and thought for a moment, feeling that since he wanted to refine elixirs, he would need related supporting equipment, such as alchemy furnaces and elixir recipes.

But I'm afraid I can't get these things with just 1,300 merit points, so I can only do it slowly.

"I want to exchange for a flying magic weapon." Yu Xiao first exchanged it for the flying magic weapon that he had longed for.

With Yunshang Immortal Mansion, I will have to learn alchemy in the future, and I will inevitably have to run back and forth between the Pine Forest and Luoxia Peak. Flying magic weapons is a must, so as not to waste unnecessary time on the road.

In the end, he spent 800 merit points to replace it with a low-grade magic weapon called Yan Yuan. It contained twelve wind-controlling restrictions, and its flying speed was naturally much faster than his.

Yu Xiao did not waste the remaining 700 merit points, and exchanged them for a copy of the Fire Control Technique and a volume of the "Illustrated Book of All Spirits" that records various spiritual plants.

The secret of fire control is a basic skill that must be mastered in alchemy. Fortunately, his spiritual roots have fire attributes, otherwise it would be really difficult to learn alchemy.

As for alchemy, it is not a magical skill, but an empirical discipline. If he wants to get into alchemy, he has to find other alchemists.

This is troublesome to say, but it is also simple. As long as you are willing to spend spiritual stones, it is not a problem.

On the way back, Yu Xiao controlled Yan Yuan to fly through the wind, and it only took half the time to reach the pine forest hut.

After patrolling the pine forest to make sure that the confinement was intact and there were no abnormalities, he returned to the hut.
