Xi Fang said: "My Qing Xu disciples that have been accepted must have their spiritual root tested with the spirit stone. Currently, in these one thousand and three hundred plus disciples, there isn't a single person with a heavenly wood spirit root. If other sects have a disciple with such high qualifications, their name would've already spread throughout the Zhu Feng country."
Lu ZhiShan frowned: "……If we can't find anyone, then no one will be able to contain this demonic cultivator." He talked while gazing at the youth that was lying on the ground.
Lu ChangQing: "Even so, things have already progressed to this point. Let's retest the spirit roots of all the disciples in the sect."
The female cultivator Qin Xiao of Huang Hua peak deliberated: "Elder Lu said just now that it must be someone with a very strong and rich wood spirit root. What if someone had a strong and rich wood spirit root but wasn't a heavenly wood spirit root? Would that work?"
Lu ZhiShan: "Someone with two or three spirit roots naturally won't have a very strong wood spirit root. What does fellow cultivator Qin mean?"
Qin Xiao slightly lowered her head and knitted her eyebrows together: "Nothing……Maybe I'm just thinking too much?"
A cold and serious female voice rang out: "Wasn't the wood spirit root of that Jun YanZhi, from a few days ago, pretty strong and rich?"
Everyone turned towards the voice to see a woman around the age of 27-28, wearing white. She had a delicate beauty and skin whiter than snow. Her cheeks were similar to a white lotus on the water. It was actually Lu QingYun, who was the peak master of Wang Yue peak, that hadn't spoken at all till now.
Qin Xiao smiled: "That's right. When he emitted a light grass and wood fragrance, it made people feel refreshed."
The other peak masters also remembered one after another. Shao Jun frowned and said: "There are many causes of a fragrance that is emitted from the body. It isn't necessarily caused by a rich and strong spirit root."
"However, that light wood fragrance was indeed pure."
"What is his qualification? Is it two spirit roots or three spirit roots?"
Lu ChangQing: "Call him over here, and we'll know."
Xi Fang lightly stroked his beard without talking.
Lu ZhiShan who saw everyone in disputes, asked: "Since things are currently extremely urgent, what harm would there be to just call him here for a while?"
Xi Fang thought for a moment and then said to Zhu Jin: "From these days of watching Jun YanZhi, have you found anything?"
Zhu Jin hesitated for a long time before reporting what just happened outside the hall in a quiet voice.
Lu ZhiShan heard and lowered his voice: "Truly a bunch of nonsense. The incident of peak master Zhao was caused by a demonic cultivator controlling his consciousness. It had nothing to do with the fragrance that was perceived on the platform. The demonic cultivator used the power of thoughts to let people lose their reason. It does not require muttering any curses. Quickly call him over and let me see his spirit root."
Xi Fang nodded: "Call him over."
In the peaceful and quiet stone house, Wen Jing sat on Jun YanZhi's bed, holding the tortoise. He fed the tortoise some food. The tortoise hadn't come back here for half a year and was already a little unfamiliar with the place. He lied on Wen Jing's leg, quietly chewing.
Jun YanZhi was half lying on the bed sideways. He watched him for a while and said: "I want to take an afternoon nap. Do you want to sleep?" He also secretly and slowly sent a wave of spiritual energy towards the tortoise.
The tortoise jerked his head upwards, and his four legs started to move around. Unexpectedly, it seemed that it wanted to crawl off the bed.
Wen Jing quickly put the tortoise onto the floor and watched it crawl outside step by step.
As soon as the tortoise left, Wen Jing didn't have anything to do anymore so he laid down next to Jun YanZhi and said: "Shixiong sleep. I'll just take a short rest."
" Good ……" Jun YanZhi turned his head and lightly blew out a mouthful of air onto the face of the youth that had his eyes closed.
As expected, after a few moments, Wen Jing's breathing evened out, and he fell asleep.
Jun YanZhi raised his hand, and the door and windows all closed tightly. It became much dimmer inside the room. He carefully seized Wen Jing into his arms. He observed him for a while before he lowered his head and held his lip in his mouth.
He hadn't kissed him in a long time and started to yearn for it.
The two people's tongues were entangled. It felt warm with a little bit of numbness. Wen Jing still didn't move at all. Jun YanZhi's hand gently lifted his clothes and he deepened the kiss.
He very rarely took off Wen Jing's clothes. However, in the past few months, it was getting harder and harder to endure.
His hand slowly caressed. The belly under his palm was smooth and elastic. It didn't have any excess meat. Even the hair was very sparse.
Jun YanZhi's lower abdomen was swelling. His hand stopped for a while at Wen Jing's waist before he finally undid Wen Jing's pants.
The private parts of the two were separated by a layer of cloth. They were stuck together, softly rubbing. Jun YanZhi withdrew from Wen Jing's lips and buried his head into the space between Wen Jing's head and shoulders.
He panted while that thing was hard as iron, but it had nowhere to vent.
This little thing currently worshipped him as a saint-like person. If one day he knew……
Once he thought to this point, his head suddenly felt a wave of extreme pain. It felt like being burned by fire, making him almost lose his mind.
Jun YanZhi hastily pulled away. He concentrated and refocused his thoughts, controlling his breathing. He used all his strength to restrain that pain.
After a long time, he finally regained his calm.
The youth in his arms had half of his clothes pulled off by him. His stomach was the color of light honey. It was smooth and youthful with his pants hanging low on his knees which exposed a huge large area of a private part of the body. Jun YanZhi lowered his head and watched, only to see that he was still deeply asleep. The corner of his lips was slightly raised, as he put his clothes on properly.
His finger gently rubbed Wen Jing's forehead for a while before he calmly laid down beside him.
Wen Jing's sleep became lighter. He turned over and hugged Jun YanZhi, unconsciously stroking his back gently.
This was a habit of Wen Jing's from hugging the python at night. When Wen Jing was little, he was somewhat lonely. He wasn't very close to any of his shixiongs so he would eagerly and anxiously wait for the python to come at night, hugging and kissing it. When he couldn't fall asleep he would quietly ask, "Are you a male snake or a female snake?"
Jun YanZhi got annoyed, and one day he finally coldly revealed his item.
Ever since that day, that little thing never asked again.
Jun YanZhi didn't move at all and let Wen Jing hold him. His thoughts slowly wandered off.
By now Lu ZhiShan should have revealed the《Hundred Herbs Thousand Souls Method》, right?
But it was unknown if anyone remembered him? If there wasn't anyone who remembered, then for the next step how would he remind them of his own strong and rich wood spirit root?
They didn't know that the reason it was hard for the 《Hundred Herbs Thousand Souls Method》to find an inheritor was not because the powerful one was arrogant. It was that this method required someone with a foot in demonic cultivation to inherit.
They also didn't know that to research a technique that could defeat the demonic cultivator, the powerful one had to secretly practice demonic cultivation by himself.
He knew this because he was already chosen by《Hundred Herbs Thousand Souls Method》as the inheritor at the age of six.
That's right.《Hundred Herbs Thousand Souls Method》was originally an inherited technique of Heng Yang palace.
That day his father brought him into the secret room of Heng Yang palace. He was afraid and only timidly watched. A grass and wood smell was constantly present. Once he entered, the whole place was dark, and one old person appeared in his mind.
At first, the old person was arrogant and proud, but after their souls fused, he suddenly revealed an endless sorrow. He told him that the following secrets couldn't be told to anyone.
The powerful one was actually a Golden Core cultivator. At that time he wholeheartedly wanted to eradicate the vile demonic cultivation path. Not caring about his wife and children's sorrow, he pursued demonic cultivation. His hands were contaminated with hundreds of innocent people's blood. One day, he fell into chaos. He lost his reason. Once he became clear-headed again, he finally found a way to overcome demonic cultivation. He was excited and surprised, but when he turned his head to look around, he was shocked to find his wife and children were already pulled into an illusion by him. They all mutually killed each other.
The cultivator used this technique to clear out demonic cultivation but became quiet since then. It was unknown what happened to him afterward.
《Hundred Herbs Thousand Souls Method》not only could resolve demonic cultivation, it could also suppress one's own heart devil. If it was practiced long-term, there was a chance that it could erase all of one's demonic qi.
However, it was a pity that he was too young and couldn't cultivate it. He had to wait until he was 15 to start cultivating. Unfortunately, during the year when he was 10, Heng Yang palace met difficulties.《Hundred Herbs Thousand Souls Method》was stolen in the confusion. It wasn't until last year when he went to Gui Jing sect by chance that he felt a slight sensation. It turned out to be in the hands of Lu ZhiShan.
Jun YanZhi didn't know where his innate demonic qi came from. However now that he had Wen Jing, he wanted to properly live a good life with him.
How did《Hundred Herbs Thousand Souls Method》end up in the hands of Lu ZhiShan?
When he was in deep thought, Wen Jing moved a little. Jun YanZhi slightly raised his head: "Awake?"
Wen Jing immediately let go of Jun YanZhi and half sat up. His face was slightly red. He laughed dryly and said: "Shixiong, I hugged you while sleeping again……"
He talked while he felt perturbed.
He thought that he admired and worshipped Jun shixiong. It couldn't actually be as second shixiong said right? Deep down he was actually very dirty and just wholeheartedly wanted to take advantage of Jun shixiong.
Jun YanZhi pursed his lips and gently said: "Shidi, I have something I want to ask you……"
"What is it?"
"What relationship does your grandpa have with Gu Jing sect's elder Lu?"
Wen Jing blanked for a moment before he said in a melancholy voice: "So shixiong already knows……"
Jun YanZhi slowly said: "I don't know anything. That day when we met, I accidentally saw the black stone tablet[1] in your hands. Today when elder Lu came, his son also had a similar tablet hanging on him so I was a little curious. I also thought that the surname Lu is not very common……"
As he talked, he observed Wen Jing's expression.
Wen Jing thought that there wasn't really anything to conceal so he said: "To tell the truth, my grandfather is indeed the son of Gu Jing sect's elder Lu."
Jun YanZhi lowered his head: "It actually was like this……Elder Lu came this time. You're not planning to meet?"
Wen Jing hastily said: "Shixiong doesn't know that on the day that my grandfather died, I found a small book when I was cleaning. It contained information on my birth. I wasn't really his blood-related grandson but was abducted by him when I was little. The goal……was possession."
Jun YanZhi raised his head and gazed at him: "He was actually this vicious……"
Wen Jing lowered his head: "En, things are basically like that."
Jun YanZhi's face slightly reddened as he gently trapped him in his arms, hugging him from the back: "Shidi is actually the same as me, unlucky during childhood." Then he comforted in a gentle voice: "Don't be sad. In the future, I will definitely treat you well……"
Wen Jing only felt a grass and wood scent filling his nose. He felt a little unsettled and uneasy. He gently pulled away: "It's already in the past. It isn't a big deal."
Jun YanZhi watched him as his heart beat slowly started to speed up: "Shidi, are you almost 17 this year?"
"En."
Jun YanZhi's mouth moved for a while before he finally asked: "Do you have anyone you like?"
Wen Jing was stunned for a moment and thought. Did the cultivation world also not allow falling in love early? He quickly said: "Not at all. I haven't even thought about it before."
"……You can consider it."
"No rush. Shixiong doesn't have a special person yet." In his past life when he was 14, there was a girl in class with whom he would have calls, in the middle of the night. He was questioned by his parents for a long time. At that time, he muddily told the happenings and was punished to stand for an afternoon. Adults said with their mouths, "You should fall in love," but it was all irony.
Jun YanZhi closed his mouth and didn't talk anymore.
Wen Jing got down from the bed and opened the door and windows. A clear breeze blew. The tortoise was quietly crouching in front of the door.
Suddenly, there was an undercurrent in spirit energy in the air. Far away a disciple who looked prudent and full of self-control, wearing an ink colored robe, landed in front of Jun YanZhi's door. It was actually Xi Fang's elder disciple, Zhu Jin.
His attitude was respectful and humble. His voice clear and bright: "Jun shidi, sect head Xi invites shidi to Yu Rong peak. There is something he wishes to discuss."
Wen Jing instantly glanced towards the stone house with some excitement.
It was completely quiet inside the stone house. Not long after a person walked out. Jun YanZhi's clothing was tidy. It was a simple and elegant light green robe. He replied in a neither slow nor fast manner: "Yes."

Tn: Updates are coming slower lately because of school. T_T Why did I decide to take 6 classes this semester? (It isn't that many, but it's my first time taking more than 5) At least you don't have to worry too much if you're here for just this project since this one is first on my list of priorities.
P.S. A chapter of Strategy to Capture that Scum Gong will be done next.
