Returning to Wugu Peak, He Gu first went to the mountainside to cut down some bamboo, spent half a day preparing all the necessary materials, and started to build a kitchen.
Kongrou returned to her room with the newly bought clothes and a few books. While He Gu was busy, she walked out with the books, sat down on the steps and started reading carefully.
From time to time, she raised her head and secretly looked at He Gu, comparing the contents in the book.
Occasionally I am lost in thought, and occasionally I am distracted.
When I came to my senses, I shook my little head again and again, forcing myself to focus and not to think wildly.
The sun in early winter has reached its peak, and then gradually started to trend downward.
The last bamboo was nailed, and Wugu Peak finally had a decent kitchen.
He Gu went in and arranged the layout inside, and arranged all the necessary facilities and appliances.
Seeing that it was about to be finished, Kongrou put down her book and ran in to read.
"So big!"
The unexpectedly large space surprised her.
"I chopped a lot of bamboo, so I just used it all," He Gu explained with a smile.
Then he asked Kongrou: "Do you like it?"
Kong Rou nodded heavily: "Yes, I like it. As long as it is made by Brother He, Xiaorou likes it."
"That's good." He Gu habitually reached out to touch Kongrou's head, but he had to take it back when he realized his hands were dirty.
Upon seeing this, Kongrou hurriedly ran out, and when she came back she brought a basin of water.
He Gu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "I can do it myself next time."
After washing his hands, he took the white towel handed by Kongrou and wiped them dry. He saw Kongrou's big eyes looking straight at him, looking forward to something.
He Guwanbai raised his hand and touched Kongrou's head.
Kong Rou suddenly looked comfortable and satisfied.
After cleaning up the kitchen, He Gu was pushed out by Kong Rou. She cooked a few dishes by herself, and the two of them finished lunch.
In the afternoon, He Gu urged Kongrou to release the spirit buds again. Based on the experience last time, this time he covered the bathtub with an extra red cloth as a shield.
The process went smoothly. The spiritual buds in Kongrou's body grew a little more, and many sharp points appeared at the top.
After that, He Gu helped Kongrou to activate the spirit buds every afternoon.
I don’t know if it’s because of the activation of spiritual roots or because of the improvement in food these days. In short, Kongrou seems to be more energetic and has some flesh on her face.
The previous malnourished complexion has disappeared, and the plump appearance is even cuter.
As the days passed, in addition to the daily routine of meditation and practicing Kong Rou, He Gu also became more and more concerned about the situation of his junior sister and master. He had no choice but to wait without any news.
He knew something about the place Leng Qingzhu said was suitable for rest. It was a small closed secret space with rich aura of heaven and earth. According to legend, it had some connection with Canglong, one of the five ferocious beasts in ancient times.
With his strength, he would not be able to get in even if he found a spot.
On the seventh day, the spiritual buds in Kongrou's body transformed into spiritual roots as expected, and she officially became a cultivator.
The moment she got the result, Kong Rou was so happy that she jumped up from the tub, turned around and hugged He Gu tightly.
The red cloth was pushed down and fell into the tub.
He Gu, who was caught off guard, felt a warm, moist and soft body suddenly crash into his arms, and then pressed close to him, and his body immediately froze.
He pulled back a little, with an embarrassed look on his face: "Xiaorou?"
Kong Rou came to consciousness, her face turned red, and she suddenly retreated into the tub. She hurriedly grabbed the red cloth to cover her body, and her head almost hid in the water.
He Guqing coughed and managed to calm down: "Come to me when you have finished packing. I will take you to test the attributes and levels of your spiritual roots."
After saying that, he fled Kongrou's room in panic.
Thinking of her bold move just now, Kong Rou's little deer jumped up and down, became dizzy, and half-submerged in the water, bubbling with a "gurgling" sound.
After leaving Kongrou's room, He Gu took a few deep breaths and took a while to calm down.
"It's strange, my concentration is so bad..."
He muttered, walked out a few steps, and waited patiently at the side for Kongrou to come out.
After a while, the room was opened, and Kong Rou walked out unnaturally with a red face.
When she arrived in front of He Gu, her eyes wandered and she called out to Brother He in a weak voice.
It could be seen that she was a little nervous, and she didn't dare to mention what happened just now. He gently stroked her hair, and it took a while before she felt her body relax.
"Let's go, I'll take you to test your spiritual roots. Once your spiritual roots are confirmed, you can start practicing with the exercises."
Seeing her smile as usual, He Gu took her to the ancestral hall on the mountain.
In front of the ancient and solemn Ancestral Hall, there is a stone platform that has left traces of vicissitudes over time.
The pitted white stone platform is only big enough for one person to stand on, and there is a black stone pillar standing on the inside.
The body of the stone pillar is divided into six sections by five horizontal lines, and each section is engraved with words. From bottom to top, it is classified as low grade, bottom medium grade, medium grade, middle grade high grade, superior grade, and extremely high grade.
There is also a groove on the top, with a fist-sized dark jade bead embedded in it.
He Gu held up Kongrou's waist with both hands and placed her on the stone platform so that she could touch the jade beads.
On the other hand, he reminded: "Just touch it with both hands."
Kongrou stretched out her hand as she was told.
He Gu became curious and carefully observed the reaction of the spirit test bead.
The moment Kongrou's hand touched the bead, a stream of light streaked across the smooth surface of the bead.
Gradually, a strange phenomenon appeared inside the dark bead body, and small light cyan light spots appeared out of thin air, slowly gathering towards the center.
Cyan? Could it be the wood attribute...
He Gu is thoughtful.
The next moment he let out a light sigh.
In the spirit-measuring bead, the countless light cyan light spots did not converge into the image of trees, but converged at the center of the bead to form green lines, and then circled in the same direction. p>
"The image of wind, this is... the wind attribute spiritual root!" He Gu was surprised.
There are two types of spiritual roots for cultivators, one is universal spiritual roots, including metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and the other is exotic spiritual roots, including ice, thunder, wind, yin and yang.
The latter type is rarer than the former type, and its effect is more mysterious.
He himself just has an ordinary fire spirit root, while his master and junior sister both have alien spirit roots, the former has a yin alien spirit root, and the latter has an ice alien spirit root.
Now, a third person with rare spiritual roots has been born beside him. In comparison, his cultivation talent seems to be inferior.
He suppressed his excitement and did not dare to make any noise to disturb him. He was looking forward to the quality of Kongrou's rare spiritual root.
As the green lines formed inside the bead, the lower end of the black stone pillar began to emit white light.
Low, medium, and medium light up in sequence.
It wasn't until the mid-to-upper section was lit that the upward momentum was stopped and finally settled.
Average to upper-class, the same quality as him.
Although it is already very good, it is still a pity. After all, this kind of thing is related to cultivation talent. Of course, the higher the better.
The attributes of spiritual roots limit the choices of exercises and Taoist skills that can be practiced in the future, and have a certain impact on the cultivation of Taoist charms in the fourth realm. Except for some special Taoist charms, ordinary Taoist charms need to match the attributes of spiritual roots.
The quality of the spiritual root affects the efficiency of the cultivator in absorbing spiritual energy and converting it into his own spiritual power, as well as the probability of falling into the realm when the realm breakthrough fails.
A high spiritual root quality can have more error tolerance than others to support cultivation to a high level.
