Chapter 25: Immortal Spiritual Roots
Lin Shan, lying on the ground, stared blankly at the ceiling, feeling lost, frustrated, and powerless.

"Talent, talent! Ridiculous! I thought I was a time traveler with a golden finger, I would always be different from others, and sooner or later I would be able to soar to the sky. I didn't expect that I would be stuck outside the door of the avenue because I don't have the talent for cultivating immortals!"

If you can't cultivate immortality, no matter how hard you try in this life, what can you do as a congenital master? It's just a hundred years.

Even if you have an enhanced panel, and have collected more ancient charms, and enhanced them into immortal cultivation techniques and magical instruments, you cannot use them without the spiritual power of an immortal cultivator. What's the point of keeping them?

Thinking of the Buddha in the immortal world, who preached to millions of people, ten thousand years was just a blink of an eye for such a powerful person! And I am always an ant, just an episode in their infinite time that will be forgotten in the blink of an eye.

Lin Shan suppressed his weakness and picked up the Qingmu Changsheng Jue again, flipping through it over and over again. He had such a great opportunity to strengthen the panel, and he was unwilling to sink into oblivion.

……

Time passed continuously, and he looked at the skills in his hand over and over again. His eyes were almost dizzy, and an inexplicable will was always supporting him.

It seems that at a certain moment, I saw a paragraph similar to
"Through one's own spiritual roots, one can activate the corresponding spells and absorb the spiritual energy that belongs to the heaven and earth."

After the description.

Suddenly, something seemed to click in my mind.

"I understand! Qingmu Changsheng Jue is a wood-attributed technique, and the corresponding technique is to assist the wood spiritual root, absorbing the wood-attributed spiritual energy between heaven and earth. I can't sense the wood spiritual energy, which only means that I don't have a wood spiritual root, or the wood spiritual root aptitude is too poor.

But it doesn’t mean that I don’t have spiritual roots of other attributes! "

If you want to become an immortal cultivator, you must have the ability to sense and absorb spiritual energy, and to absorb spiritual energy you must have corresponding spiritual roots. This is the so-called qualification for cultivating immortals.

All kinds of spiritual energy from heaven and earth gather together, including gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, ice and so on. Just because you cannot sense the wood spiritual energy does not mean that you cannot sense the others.

Thinking of this, everything suddenly became clear.

"I still have a chance! I still have 8 points of Ancient Rhyme in my hand, and I can strengthen it into a Qi Training Period Code.

No, there is also the Golden Bell!

If I can get another 8 points from the Golden Bell, it will be equivalent to two chances. What I lack now is two different types of innate skills. "

Speaking of innate skills, the only channel Lin Shan can think of at the moment is Nightingale, but one book can only be exchanged for 1000 contribution points.

Two books require two thousand points!

If he just keeps working on the task, he won't be able to complete it in his entire life.

But now his mind was open and his brain was working faster and faster. He remembered that early morning in Yongchang County when he followed the large army out of the city. Protector Jiang seemed to be missing a magical weapon.

In the dark, Lin Shan roughly sketched out a plan in his mind. If it succeeded, not only would he have a solution to his Xiantian skills, but he would also be able to obtain the Golden Bell safely.
Lin Shan, who had regained hope, stumbled to a restaurant on the street, had a big meal, and then rested at home for the night.

In the early morning of the next day, taking advantage of the fact that there were not many people on the street, he quietly sneaked into Jing'anju, which is the Nightingale branch.

……

"Manager Jiang, you are really dedicated to your duties. Nightingale can only grow bigger and bigger because of seniors like you."

At this moment, in the exchange hall on the third floor of Jing'anju, a handsome young man in black was flattering the old man in front of him.

It was none other than Lin Shan, who had just completed the Yelang Ancient Tomb mission.

Sitting on the armchair opposite him was Manager Jiang, who had fooled him that day.

"Well, you are."

Manager Jiang looked at the young man in front of him with puzzled eyes. He stroked his beard and couldn't remember who the boy in front of him was.

After all, there are so many Nightingale Killers, all wearing black three-piece suits. Unless their figures are particularly distorted and their features are obvious, they all look the same on the surface.

"You are really a forgetful person. About half a month ago, I almost broke into the fourth floor and disturbed Protector Jiang's meditation, but you stopped me in time."

Lin Shan said with a smile.

"Oh~ It's you, the new guy who just joined the organization and doesn't know the rules."

This time Manager Jiang remembered that he was lucky that day and had tricked the kid into giving him 50 contribution points in exchange for a hidden arrow. Otherwise, he would have almost failed to complete his performance target for last month.

After all, since the helmsman went on a journey, Jiang Hufa took over the branch and made drastic reforms to the system in order to gain power. In order to stimulate internal consumption and prevent generations of token owners from accumulating a large number of contribution points through the accumulation of their predecessors' legacies, they could then exchange them for various high-level martial arts.

This made the martial arts skills within Nightingale worthless, so an order was issued to stimulate consumption internally, and the manager of the third-floor exchange office had performance targets every month.

With Manager Jiang's level of thinking, he naturally couldn't understand Protector Jiang's foresight, but that didn't affect his efforts to carry out the plan.

So he spared no effort to trick the internal killers into making purchases in advance, and even sold a steel knife for 20 contribution points!
But there will always be a time when all the wool is taken away. After the killers in Nightingale were fooled by several managers on the third floor, they all became cunning and were on guard against these people.

As a result, the performance of Manager Jiang and others became increasingly difficult, so they had to focus on the newcomers. Lin Shan, who had just arrived, was naturally caught in the crossfire and became a sucker, spending 50 contribution points to exchange for a hidden arrow.

But it must be said that this hidden arrow really played a big role in killing Scarface. If the arrow had not hit Scarface's calf, and Scarface insisted on running, Lin Shan might have had to work much harder.

……

At this time, Manager Jiang saw that there was a fat sheep and once again took the initiative to deliver it to his door, happily calculating whether there was any oil to be made.

"You have just joined the organization, but do you have any confusion or difficulties? You may as well tell me. It is our duty to support the younger generation."

Manager Jiang had a friendly face and was patient and persuasive.

"The junior does have a favor to ask, but I'm afraid that you may put me in a difficult position," Lin Shan pretended to be embarrassed and sighed.

Manager Jiang immediately frowned.
"Brother, what are you talking about! When new members of the organization are in need, we, the older generation, have the obligation to help. Why are you being so polite to me? If you keep doing this, I will be angry!"

Lin Shan had a look of admiration on his face, "Senior, you are so righteous! You are worthy of being the respected elder of Nightingale. I am ashamed of you, the younger generation."

Then clasp your fists.

"I have some doubts and would like to go to the fourth floor to ask for advice from Protector Jiang. I would like to ask for your advice, Senior!"

……

Most afraid of the air suddenly quiet.

The smile on Manager Jiang's old face instantly disappeared. He stared at Lin Shan for a long while. After making sure that the young man in front of him was not joking with him, he slowly said in a low voice: "Do you know what you are talking about?"

"Please introduce me to the world, senior!" Lin Shan bowed again.

"I will be punished for disturbing Protector Jiang's meditation even if I am the manager here."

Before he finished speaking, a small teapot was stuffed into his hand. The whole thing was dark yellow, like copper but not copper, like wood but not wood. It had an antique flavor and it was obvious that it was very old and had an extraordinary origin.

That’s right, Lin Shan used his ancestral money-making ability that he brought from the 21st century, and it always worked!
"This is."

Manager Jiang had a keen eye. He had been in charge of Nightingale Exchange for so many years and had seen countless treasures. Naturally, he could tell at a glance that the antique in front of him was extraordinary. If he really wanted to measure its value, it would be at least hundreds of gold.

"This is my ancestral teapot. It is said that hundreds of years ago, one of my ancestors worked in the palace and later secretly brought it back from there."

The truth is of course that it was one of the antiques unearthed from the Yelang ancient tomb, and Lin Shan shamelessly claimed it as his own ancestral item.

"As the saying goes, antiques are given to connoisseurs. If I keep this item in my hands, it would be a waste of precious gems. I'd rather give it to you. I haven't thanked you for your support that day!"

Lin Shan hinted that Manager Jiang had tricked him into giving him 50 contributions in exchange for a hidden arrow.

Manager Jiang couldn't hold back his shame anymore and coughed, "That day, I sincerely recommended the sleeve arrows because I saw that you were new here and needed a hidden weapon for self-defense.

But why do you want to see Protector Jiang?"

Originally, Manager Jiang would never accept such a thankless job as an introduction, but he had no choice because the money he paid was too much.
Lin Shan shook his head: "I just have some questions I want to ask, but I can't reveal them. But whether Jiang Protector comes to see you or not, I will give this item to you, Senior. It's my way of honoring you."

At this point, Manager Jiang naturally couldn't refuse, so he had to tell Lin Shanming.

"I'll take you to see Protector Jiang later. Don't do anything beyond the norm. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, don't blame me for standing by and watching!"

Lin Shan nodded quickly and patted his chest to assure that he would never cause any trouble for Manager Jiang.

"Then come with me."

After putting away the teapot, Manager Jiang stood up and went to the fourth floor, followed closely by Lin Shan.
