Chapter 20 Testing Spiritual Roots
Seeing this, Xiao Lin finally understood how lucky he was to be a cultivator. He was now sure that he also had spiritual roots, but he just didn't know how good or bad his spiritual roots were.
In addition, this book also gives a detailed introduction to the five major sects in the Tianlu Mountains. The five major sects in the Tianlu Mountains are Qianling Mountain, Bailian Sect, Dancao Mountain, Tianyun Pavilion and Qianfu Sect. Among them, the disciples of Qianling Mountain are good at driving spirits. Insect spirit beasts, Bailian Sect is good at refining weapons, Dancaoshan is good at refining various spiritual pills, Qianfu Sect is good at making various spiritual talismans, and Tianyun Pavilion is best at formations.
It is precisely because the five major sects each have their own priorities that although there are occasional rifts between them, they have always been in peace with each other and no major conflicts have broken out.
For a large number of casual cultivators, if they want to go on the road of cultivation for a long time, the best way is to join the five major sects and become disciples of the five major sects. After all, the five major sects control the best cultivation resources in the Tianlu Mountains. And resources determine everything.
The book also introduces in detail three ways to enter the five major sects. The first one is the recommendation of the head of the Xiuzhen family, because the Xiuzhen family is all attached to the five major sects, and even many senior elders in the sects are from these. The disciples who come from the cultivation family and enter the five major sects through this method account for at least 80% of the number of disciples of the five major sects; the second method is to pass the spiritual root test in the fairy city. As long as the spiritual root is above the earth spiritual root, casual cultivators You can directly join the five major sects. People who enter the five major sects in this way account for more than half of the remaining 20%; the last method is to enter a place called [Cave] and pick from it. A purple spirit flower, with this purple spirit flower, you can join one of the five major sects and become an outer disciple. Those who join the five major sects through the third method are relatively rare. Ten of the five major sects It would be nice to have one this way.
However, entering the cave to pick purple spirit flowers is the most dangerous method. Low-level monks who go in will usually die in it, and those who are alive may not be able to pick purple spirit flowers, so the last method is also dangerous. The method with the highest success rate and the lowest success rate.
Xiao Lin kept thinking about it. If he wanted to take a step further on the road of cultivation, it seemed that he had to join the five major sects. However, he did not have a prominent background. With the recommendation of the head of the cultivation family, there was no need to think about this path. The second way is to test the spiritual roots, which gives Xiao Lin a glimmer of hope. If he tests out that he has earthly spiritual roots or even heavenly spiritual roots, he can reach the sky in one step and become a disciple of the five major sects.
If this road doesn't work, then we can only consider the third way.
After going downstairs to have dinner, Xiao Lin returned to his room and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, he woke up from his sleep refreshed. After leaving the inn, he headed towards the place in the city where the spiritual roots were tested. Early in the morning, he asked the innkeeper for directions. After walking in the city for about half an hour, he came to a place called [Ling Pavilion]. He opened the door and walked in.
After entering, there was an empty living room, the light was a little dim, and there was only one person lying in the corner next to it. Xiao Lin walked over and knocked on the table lightly.
The man raised his head, wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes lit up when he saw Xiao Lin.
"Fellow Taoist, are you here to test your spiritual roots? Sorry, no one has been here for more than ten days, so I couldn't help but fall asleep."
Xiao Lin smiled and said it didn't matter, and then said: "Excuse me, friend, what is the price for testing spiritual roots here?"
"Have fellow Taoists come to our place for testing before?" The man did not reply directly to Xiao Lin, but asked an unrelated question.
Xiao Lin was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I am a casual cultivator who has just entered the fairy city, and has not tested the spiritual root attributes."
Hearing this, the man's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "It turns out that we are casual cultivators. Our place is the spiritual root testing site in Dancao Mountain. It is free for Taoist friends who come here for the first time to test."
Xiao Lin was stunned when he heard this. In this foggy fairy city, it is difficult to move without spiritual stones or silver. How could there be such a free place? As for free things, Xiao Lin naturally A little more vigilant.
As if he had guessed what Xiao Lin was thinking, the man said with a smile: "Don't worry, fellow Taoist, there are five spiritual pavilions in Wuyin Immortal City, each belonging to the five major sects. The reason why they are free is not because of charity. I want to do something stupid to serve the majority of casual cultivators, but I want to find more cultivators with amazing qualifications through free methods. If the spiritual root qualifications of fellow Taoists are above the earth spiritual roots, then not only will it be free, our Dancao Mountain will also Fifty pieces of low-grade spiritual stones will be given as a gift. All you need is for your fellow Taoist to promise that if you join the five major sects, you will choose our Dancao Mountain."
After hearing this person's explanation, Xiao Lin suddenly realized that this made sense. After all, the five major sects were harmonious on the surface, but secretly they must be fighting openly and secretly, and the competition for cultivation talents must be the most important part of it. This method of testing spiritual roots for free It is indeed a very good idea, I don’t know who came up with it.
"Then could you please fellow Taoist help me test my spiritual roots?"
"Okay, fellow Taoist follow me."
The man stood up and led Xiao Lin through the living room to a main hall at the back. The main hall was also very empty. There was only a stone pillar in the center of the hall, about four feet high, and above the stone pillar. A white sphere the size of a human head, but nothing else.
"This is called a spirit-testing stone. Although in our world of cultivation, this spirit-testing stone is useless except for testing spiritual root attributes and spiritual light points, this thing is extremely rare. The five major sects in our entire Tianlu Mountain Range combined will never More than twenty pieces. This piece is mixed with some impurities and can only test the spiritual roots and spiritual light points. However, in our Dancao Mountain Gate, there is also a hidden spiritual stone without any impurities. If Taoist fellow Taoist one day If you can join us at Dancao Mountain, you can try it out for free.”
The man was not idle along the way, and without waiting for Xiao Lin to ask, he introduced the spirit-testing stone to him. I wonder if there were too few people here, but now a person suddenly came, and he couldn't help but talk more.
"Fellow Taoist, please put your hand on this spirit-testing stone, and then concentrate on slowly inputting the magic power in your body." The two came to the stone pillar, and the man said to Xiao Lin.
Nodding, Xiao Lin took a deep breath, then put his hand on the white ball. His heart couldn't help but beat. To be honest, the result of this spirit stone basically represented How far can he go on the road of cultivation? It is impossible to say that he is not nervous.
"Fellow Taoist, relax, our cultivators' qualifications are destined by heaven. We can't force it, just let it happen." Seemingly seeing Xiao Lin's nervousness, the man comforted him for a few words, and then walked aside.
Xiao Lin mobilized the magic power in his body and slowly input it into the ball through his palm.
"Buzz" the white ball suddenly lit up, emitting a misty white light, and above the white light, a touch of color slowly appeared. If you look carefully, you can find that these colors include red, yellow, gold, green, There are five colors of blue, these five colors form five small light pillars, extending slowly upward.
The extending trend was very slow. After a while, Xiao Lin felt that half of the mana in his body was injected into the white ball, and the five small light pillars finally stopped and stopped extending.
The face of the man next to him became a little strange. Xiao Lin saw the man's expression and his heart began to sink.
"Fellow Taoist, you can let go." The man said, and then took Xiao Lin back to the living room.
Xiao Lin didn't speak. Although he felt a little uneasy, he knew that the person would definitely tell him the result.
Sure enough, after the man sat down, he sighed softly and said to Xiao Lin: "My Taoist friend's spiritual root qualifications are not very good, but there is no need to be discouraged. The road to cultivation is full of uncertainties. I don't think our Dancao Mountain is here." Hundreds of years ago, a prodigy appeared. With his mortal spiritual roots, he entered the Golden Core realm, and his combat power was even comparable to that of a mid-Jindan monk."
Xiao Lin's heart sank completely, and he gritted his teeth. Since this person said this, it goes without saying that his spiritual qualifications are probably only ordinary.
The man took out a pen from the side, wrote a few sentences on a piece of yellow paper, and then handed it to Xiao Lin: "This is the spiritual root level of fellow Taoist. Don't worry, fellow Taoist, our Ling Pavilion will treat Taoist The test results of friends are kept confidential. Except for a few people in charge of this matter in Dancao Mountain, the rest will never know. "
Picking up the yellow paper, Xiao Lin saw what was written on it: "Gold, Five Wood, Seven Water, Nine Fire, Eight Earth and Five, Qualification: Pseudo Spiritual Root."
Seeing this scene, Xiao Lin suddenly felt a little dizzy. In a daze, he didn't know how to get back to the inn. When he returned to the inn, he entered the room, lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
For two days in a row, he was bored in the room, confused and confused. The excitement of coming to the fairy city for the first time was gone, leaving only depression and loss.
Xiao Lin never dreamed that he was the worst pseudo-spiritual root. No wonder he was so slow in practicing the Dry Water Sutra. He practiced at the third level for more than a year, but there was still no improvement. He was still one step away from the peak of the third level. Big cut.
Could it be that I really can only linger in the Qi refining period until a hundred years later, like ordinary mortals, I will return to the dust? Xiao Lin was full of reluctance, but according to what the book said, it was impossible to build a foundation with such pseudo-spiritual qualifications.
Xiao Lin even had the idea of returning to Huai County. Since the path of cultivation was not feasible, he might as well return to Huai County and live happily with his father and sister.
Xiao Lin remained bored in the room until four days later before he walked out of the room. However, his eyes lost a bit of decadence and were replaced by determination.
From childhood to adulthood, Xiao Lin has always been a man of firm will and great patience. In order to hunt a spotted deer, he once squatted by the river for three days and three nights without even drinking a sip of water. After thinking about it, he decided to continue on the path of cultivation.
The person who tested the spiritual roots also said that in the history of Dancao Mountain, there have been examples of successful formation of golden elixirs with mortal spiritual roots. Xiao Lin did not think that he would lose to anyone, even if he himself Even though he is the worst pseudo-spiritual person, he must go further on the road of cultivation. He believes that he can do it.
