The rising sun shone on Yunbi Peak, and the Shen Family Ancestral Temple was shining brightly in the sun. In the open space in front of the ancestral temple, several five or six-year-old children lined up in a row, as if waiting for something.

　　 One of the children pulled the sleeve of the adult next to him,

　　 "Father, what kind of spiritual root do you think I am? If only Tian Linggen is good." The child said innocently, because he heard that Tian Linggen is the most powerful.

　　 The adult on the side couldn't help but laugh, and said with a loving smile:

　　 "What do you think the heavenly roots are, let alone our Shen family, there is no Qingyunmen. We have not seen the heavenly roots on the land of Lingnan for thousands of years. Your kid will daydream!"

　　 "Maybe?" The child said a little aggrieved.

　　 "Well, our family Chi'er is a spiritual root, cultivated as a great monk and then protects the family, okay?" The man said lovingly.

　　 "Good!" The child smiled happily.

　　……

　　The door of the ancestral temple finally opened. The child watched other children enter one by one and then walked out again. He was very curious about what was going on in the ancestral temple. Does it take so long to test the spiritual roots?

　　 The child looked impatient,

　　 "Why isn't it my turn?"

　　 Finally it was his turn. He ran inside happily, but thinking of what the adults said, not to be noisy or rude in front of the Ancestral Temple, he immediately slowed down and walked in slowly.

　　 Entering the ancestral shrine, he saw a row of wooden plaques enshrined there, descending from high, with candles lit next to it. He saw an old man sitting in front of his spiritual position and looking at him.

　　 "What is the little guy looking at, but he can't come." The old man looked at him lovingly.

"Oh."

　　 The child walked towards the old man, only to see his gray hair and wrinkles on his face, but his temperament was so approachable that he couldn't help but lean over.

　　 "Put your hand here, let me see."

　　 The child put it up obediently, thinking:

　　 "This is the test spirit root, right? I wonder if my spirit root is the sky spirit root?"

　　 The old man held the child's wrist, injected a burst of spiritual power into it, and began to explore his spiritual roots.

　　 After a while, the old man beamed with joy and said:

"OK!"

　　 Then another spiritual force was injected into it, and the child looked at the old man and did not dare to speak. After a while, the old man finally let go of the child's wrist and laughed:

　　 "Okay! Okay! Heaven is not dead, my Shen clan! Hahahaha..."

　　 I saw the old man’s face full of smiles, and he laughed madly to the sky.

　　 The child was so scared by the old man in front of him that he dared not look at him.

　　 After the old man laughed, he noticed the child and asked excitedly:

"What's your name."

　　 "My name is Shen Chi."

　　 "Shen Chi, Shen Chi...ride the world, not bad, not bad."

　　 opened a black book and wrote: "Shen Huanchi".

　　 "You come here." Said to the child.

　　 pointed to the newly written word and said to the child:

　　 "This is your new name, Shen Huanchi."

　　 The child saw the names written all over it,

　　 "Shen Yucang, Wang Lingwen, Shen Wen..." It's just that these names are all blood red.

　　 finally found his name below, but the names of himself and a few others are black.

　　 "Come and drop a drop of blood on it." The old man said as he took the child's hand, a drop of blood dropped on the name at once, and the three characters seemed to be alive and more agile.

　　 The child pointed to his name and the red name on it and asked:

　　 "Why mine is black."

　　 The old man was silent for a while, and pointed to the only black name in the row above and said:

　　 "Because we are still alive."

　　 The child looked at the name he pointed to, Shen Wenhong.

　　 The child nodded without understanding.

　　 "Come with me."

　　 came to the spiritual position,

　　 "Kneel down and knock three."

　　 Just as he knocked on his head, a solemn voice came,

　　 "Shen Huanchi, the third-generation descendant of the Shen family, is listening. I hope you practice hard, uphold the ancestral motto, and protect my Shen family's inheritance."

　　 The child was quite shocked and couldn’t help but say

"Yes."

　　 Everything was calm again, and the old man looked at him with indescribable joy.

　　 "Get up and report to the General Affairs Hall."

　　 The old man returned to the pad and closed his eyes and thought about it.

　　 When the child was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something and said:

　　 "Am I Tian Linggen?"

"no."

　　 The child is a little depressed.

　　 "You are the root of the earth." The old man stopped talking after speaking.

　　……

　　 The child walked out of the ancestral shrine and came to his adult, looking depressed.

　　 "What's wrong with Chi'er, did the patriarch give him a name?"

　　 "Well, my name is Shen Huanchi."

　　 "Hahaha, okay, my son is also a monk in his own family." The kid's father was immediately happy.

　　 "But Dad, the old man inside said I was the root of the earth." The child looked depressed.

　　 "Earth Linggen? Haven't heard of this before." The man thought for a while and said. After all, he is just a mortal, and he doesn't know what the earth spirit root is, he only knows that there are very few heaven spirit roots.

　　 looked at his son's expression and comforted:

　　 "It's okay, if we can practice, it's much better than me. Your mother and I can live on you even under the mountain."

　　During the conversation between the father and the son, the two walked towards the General Affairs Hall.

　　……

　　 Five years have passed since the Linggen was found. Shen Huanchi is already the highest cultivation level in the family school, the fourth level of Qi training.

　　 Now he also understands the meaning of Earth Linggen, and understands why the old man was so happy back then.

　　 Just after Shen Huanchi finished his training, a clansman came over and asked him to go to the patriarch.

　　 Shen Huanchi came to the Houshan Spirit Cave. The patriarch was waiting for him. The old man who helped him test the roots was the contemporary patriarch, a foundation-building monk. It is precisely because of his hard work that the Shen family can still develop steadily.

　　 "Patriarch, you are looking for me." Shen Huanchi bowed respectfully. The old man at this time looked even older than it was a few years ago.

　　 "Huan Chi is here. Yes, I have practiced the fourth level of qi. The Shen family will never die."

　　 "Do you have any problems with your practice?" the old man asked patiently.

　　 Shen Huanchi immediately asked some questions, and the old man also answered them. Using his experience in building foundation monks to answer some questions about the training period, it is more profound and thorough, and in some places it is thorough.

　　 Of course not all clan members in the Qi training period have this treatment, and generally some clan elders in the late period of Qi training answer them. Only Shen Huanchi, who was given hope to the family, could listen to the teachings of the monk Zhuji.

　　 Finally,

　　 "Huan Chi, practice hard, strive for the early accomplishment of Qi training, I will find a way for you to build the essential pill." After speaking, he handed Shen Huanchi a few bottles of pill.

"It stands to reason that according to your qualifications, you don't need to take too many pills, but it doesn't work anymore. The family can't wait too long, and I can't support it for that long." The old man said regretfully, with a helpless tone in his tone. .

　　 "Huan Chi will live up to the high expectations of the patriarch."

　　……

　　 In the next few years, Shen Huanchi's cultivation base also grew rapidly. After the later stage of Qi training, he went to Shanghai Shangfang to make a living. Because he knows that the family can't support him too much now, and at the same time he has to experience his own character and polish his cultivation level over the years.

　　 One day, a message came from the family, and Shen Huanchi hurried to the family.

　　 When he came to the cave house of the patriarch of Houshan, Shen Huanchi saw the old man sitting on a cat mat, and saw Shen Huanchi’s long-lost smile.

　　 "Okay, I have practiced nine levels of Qi, but unfortunately...cough cough...I can't wait, I can't see you build the foundation..." the old man said intermittently.

"Patriarch, you will be fine~lightnovelpub.net~ I saw a section of yellow dragon ginseng in Shanghai Shangfang this time. I borrowed some spirit stones from the clan to buy it..." Shen Huanchi looked at the elderly man in front of him, worried. Said.

　　 "It's useless, I'm really dying of my life, it's better to leave some spirit stones for the family." The old man said with a gratified expression.

"I have already arranged the foundation pill for you. We will have one of us in the Qingyunmen alchemy next time. After I die, the Qingyunmen will definitely ask for a spiritual stone. There is no way...I blame me for no use. …….

　　 After I sit down, you have to guard against the Chen family in Baichi Mountain... And coastal casual repair... The Three Elders..." The old man explained the funeral over and over again.

　　 "Go and call some elders."

　　 The five people walked into the hole with sadness on their faces.

　　 "I will pass on the position of the patriarch to Huan Chi, and I hope you will do your best to help, and the Shen family cannot die in our hands.

　　Shen Huanchi, you swear to revive my Shen family. "The old man said majesticly.

　　 "I, Shen Huanchi, vowed to protect the family inheritance, and I will die for the rejuvenation of the family!"

　　 "After I sit down, I will remain secretive, and I shall not disclose the news of my sitting down, and those who violate the clan rules will be dealt with. I hope I can hide it for some time.

　　 Huanchi, you can build the foundation immediately after you get the foundation, and try to build the foundation in advance before they react. As long as you build the foundation, the family will be safe. "The old man explained.

　　 "You all go out and leave me alone."

　　……

　　 Soon after everyone left, an old and crazy roar came from the cave:

　　 "The ancestors of the Shen family are on the top, and the unscrupulous descendant Shen Wenhong is ashamed of the ancestors and betrayed his brother's trust...Renaissance...Renaissance!"

　　 Everyone outside the cave was crying, knowing that the old man who had supported the family for two hundred years had already sat down.
