Chapter 165 Weird Fate
After returning to Baiyujing, Zheng Yi was still thinking about the reason why the number of spiritual roots possessed by humans in Lingchi was several times that of the Dayu world.

True.

Zheng Yi didn't know whether an ordinary person had spiritual roots or not, and whether it had anything to do with whether the world they lived in was full of spiritual energy.

But... the proportion of mortals in the Lingchi world who possess spiritual roots is a bit too high!
In the world of Dayu, less than one in ten thousand mortals possess spiritual roots.

He began to recruit beautiful girls from the areas surrounding the capital, and found more than 500 beautiful girls with intelligence, talent and good looks among hundreds of thousands of people. Among them, only two of them possessed spiritual roots.

Yuechan, Zhuang Yuheng.

In the entire imperial palace, there are only four people who possess spiritual roots: Concubine Cui, Chen Liancang, Dong Yunjie, and Dong Yunyu.

His spiritual roots were obtained from Concubine Cui, Yuechan and Zhuang Yuheng.

Among his ten daughters, he only tested five girls, from the eldest princess to the fifth princess, and two of them had spiritual roots.

There are five people left who have not yet been tested.

In other words, there are only nine people with spiritual roots in the entire palace.

And what about the Spirit Pond World...

He recalled that the last time he entered the spirit pool world, there were at least three to four thousand children living in the spirit pool numbered 7.

Most children do not have spiritual roots and will be sent away early.

Those who possess spiritual roots will stay in the spiritual pool to practice until they are twelve years old, and then be given to the many demon tribes to eat.

But even so, Zheng Yi clearly remembered that there were more than a hundred children who were able to stay in the No. 7 Spirit Pond and practice until they were twelve years old!
He has lived in Spirit Pond No. 7 for twelve years, and there are more than one hundred people who possess spiritual roots!
What is this concept?
Where do so many children with spiritual roots come from in the demon clan’s spiritual pool?

Is it natural?

Or... do the demon race have some way to mass-produce spiritual roots?

Thinking of this, Zheng Yi couldn't help but become even more excited.

If he could obtain the method to mass-produce spiritual roots, or discover the secret.

Decided!
Next time you enter the Lingchi world, try to find this secret.

There's no need to keep chasing after Liu Ling'er.

"Before entering the spirit pond, I still have some things to deal with."

Zheng Yi murmured, "Each retreat takes at least twelve days. If that's the case, then..."

He took out a brush and a decree from the bookshelf and began to write out the "Yellow Spring Sutra" in the jade slip according to his memory.

Of course, it’s just the Qi training part.

He planned to give the "Yellow Spring Sutra" to Chen Liancang for practice. If possible, he could also let him secretly search for people with spiritual roots among the Shadow Guards and ensure they practiced under the premise of loyalty!
Soon, when it was getting light, Zheng Yi stopped.

"Mr. Chen."

"Your Majesty, the old slave is here."

Zheng Yi placed two pieces of paper in front of Chen Liancang and said, "I have two cultivation techniques here. It depends on which one you choose."

"Your Majesty, I will practice whatever book you want me to practice."

"Haha, you greasy old devil."

Zheng Yi smiled and casually threw the two cultivation books to Chen Liancang.

"I'll give them all to you. You decide carefully."

"Also, ask Concubine Cui for a few spirit-detecting talismans, and try to detect whether there are any with spiritual roots among the Shadow Guards."

Zheng Yi instructed: "If there are any, after confirming their loyalty, you can grant them cultivation techniques in batches."

"Old slave obeys!"

After Chen Liancang left, Zheng Yi called Liu Chengen again.

"His Majesty."

"Where was Xu Xuanwu taken to?"

Liu Chengen said: "Your Majesty, Xu Xuanwu is being escorted by the two gentlemen Chen Zhong and Chen Yi. The latest news from the three thousand days has already entered Jingzhou. He will be able to return to the capital in about half a month."

"Half a month..."

Zheng Yi murmured, that's enough.

"I will be in seclusion, and the affairs of the court will be handed over to the Imperial Household Department and the Cabinet for handling."

"promise!"

"The military affairs will proceed according to the plan I discussed with the general."

"promise!"

"Go down~"

Liu Chengen left, but Zheng Yi closed his eyes.

Now he has three books on cultivation techniques.

"The Great Five Elements Birth and Death Sutra", "Yellow Spring Sutra", and "Spirit Food Art".

Among them, he planned to practice the "Great Five Elements Birth and Death Sutra" by himself, although now he only has four spiritual roots and lacks a fire-attribute spiritual root.

But he believed that as long as he found a woman with fire spiritual roots, he would be able to obtain fire spiritual roots immediately.

The "Yellow Spring Sutra" was given to Chen Liancang and other shadow guards with spiritual roots to practice.

This technique has a Yin attribute and is very suitable for eunuchs to practice.

Moreover, he has all the contents of the "Huangquan Sutra" from the Qi Training Chapter to the Nascent Soul Chapter. If the cultivators who practice this technique want to obtain the subsequent techniques, they must be loyal to him and work for him.

In this way, he can control these shadow guards under his command.

As for the "Spirit Food Art", Zheng Yi did not plan to practice it himself, and still gave it to his subordinates.

After all, there is only the Qi training chapter.

Moreover, this technique originated from the Lingchi world and was passed down by the demon race to the captive humans for practice. He didn't know if there was anything wrong with it, and he would not get involved personally.

The problem now is... Yaoer and Huaner, his two daughters, have not practiced any martial arts.

But there's no rush.

My two daughters are only about five years old now, and they are still young. It will be okay to find suitable cultivation techniques for them in a few years.

Zheng Yi’s mission now is to enter the Lingchi world and try to find out why the human race in the Lingchi world has so many spiritual roots.

Zheng Yi's mind became stable and he soon contacted the Yin-Yang Treasure Mirror.

The starlight remained the same, and just after he came into contact with the star representing the world of the Spirit Pond, his entire spirit was once again drawn in. After a few breaths, he appeared again in the sky that looked like a chaotic cloud.

In a daze, he once again discovered dozens of different "auras" hovering in front of him.

Some of these auras are golden, some are purple, some are blue, and some are white.

"This is……"

Zheng Yi then recalled that he seemed to have come into contact with this mist when he first entered the Lingchi world.

What he came into contact with at that time were three white auras!

Human-level fate: Perpetual freezing. After death, the body will enter a frozen state and will not decay for a thousand years.

Human level fate: directionally challenged. You are directionally challenged and can get lost even when walking during the day.

Human-level fate: Xiaoqiang. The vitality is extremely tenacious and it is not easy to die.

"Fate?"

Zheng Yi murmured, his eyes flickering, as if he remembered something.

"The last time I entered the Spirit Pool World, I integrated these three auras, which are three human-level destinies."

"Eternal Frost and Little Cockroach didn't have any effect at all... Only Direction Idiot took effect, causing me to get lost in the Spirit Pond World. I then walked to the edge of the Spirit Pond and encountered a hidden demon!"

"Could it be that... these different colored mists represent different strengths of fate?"

"White aura is the most common, and the fate is the worst."

"And these blue, purple, and gold colors... do they represent a stronger destiny?"

Zheng Yi's eyes became brighter and brighter: "In other words, these fates are actually the 'golden fingers' in my fantasy world!"

"The stronger the fate I choose, the stronger my strength and potential will be in the fantasy world!"

Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated and immediately rushed towards the farthest golden aura.

If you want to successfully pass through the Lingchi world, you must of course obtain the strongest destiny!
At this moment, the aura on his body rolled, and the three auras he chose last time actually floated out.

Zheng Yi also noticed this immediately and quickly understood what was going on.

"Every time you get a destiny, will the last destiny be reset and you have to choose a new one?"

Although he was thinking in his mind, he did not stop his actions.

In a moment of carelessness, he actually took one of the white auras back into his body.

"Oh no! There's another white aura..."

Zheng Yi frowned and said, the three human-level destinies were useless last time. He hoped that he would not encounter a person with poor sense of direction or eternal freezing again.

With a stir of his mind, he discovered that the white aura absorbed by the insect heart was actually the fate of a human, Xiaoqiang!

"Xiao Qiang? It's still somewhat useful..."

He rushed towards the golden aura in the distance again, but there were too many white auras blocking his way and he accidentally bumped into another one.

Oh shit!

Zheng Yi cursed inwardly, and immediately used his body to stir up a gust of wind on the ground, which actually blew away the three white auras that were about to touch him.

His body moved forward again, but his side accidentally touched another breath.

blue?

Zheng Yi sighed and thought, forget it, blue is always better than white, this is all he can do.

The shadow of the Yin-Yang Treasure Mirror appeared again before his eyes, with lines of words appearing in it.

Human-level fate: Xiaoqiang. The vitality is extremely tenacious and it is not easy to die.

Human-level fate: premature aging. Your body is extremely weak before the age of ten, and the chances of death from illness, falling, or other accidents are greatly increased.

Yellow-level fate: Heaven is angry and people are resentful. When you die, you will randomly experience the punishments of the underworld, such as the mountain of knives, the sea of ​​fire, the oil pot, the tongue pulling out, the insect bite, the slow slicing, the steamer, the knife saw, etc. The pain deepens and affects your own soul. Your own pain and resentment can cause a huge change in the surrounding sky.

"what?"

Looking at the two most recent destinies he had obtained, especially the first yellow-level destinies he had obtained, Zheng Yi's mouth twitched slightly.

WTF.

Premature aging?

Is it possible to die before the age of ten?

Is there still resentment from heaven and people?
What the hell did I do that I have to endure all kinds of punishments in the eighteen levels of the underworld after I die?
Zheng Yi shook his head. This was all he could do.

At worst, I can start over again.

Anyway, he still has more than 5,000 years to live, which is enough for him to enter the Lingchi world hundreds of times.

He just didn't believe that he couldn't handle a small spirit pool world!

The endless channel of light flashed before his eyes again, and his mind was quickly drawn into a colorful channel, which soon disappeared.

In an instant, his mind became confused and dazed again, as if he was dreaming, and he could not control himself freely.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but when he opened his eyes, he found himself being hugged by a familiar figure.

That is……

Aunt Wang?!

Zheng Yi was startled and looked down.

Now he still looks like a little baby.

And the Nanny Wang in front of him was still as kind and young as last time.

He is back again.

Moreover, it is still the same time as the last birth.

Time reset?

Or is it that... every time he enters the Lingchi world, it is at a fixed time?
As soon as this situation popped up in Zheng Yi's mind, he became confused again. He was hugged by the mother of this world, and a ball of warmth was stuffed inside him.

"Wow wow wow..."

Zheng Yi was in a trance, and suddenly an idea popped into his mind.

"So... every time I enter the Spirit Pond world, it's at a fixed time."

"Illusion, illusion, this world is really fake...!"
