Chapter 3: Joining the Sect, Both Immortal and Mortal Paths
Chu Ning looked over when he heard the voice, and saw a middle-aged man wearing the Qingxi Sect robe and with a gentle demeanor standing in the front of the team.
His eyes were deep and simple, as if he could see through people's hearts. Although he kept a gentle smile on his face, people dared not look directly at him.
He held a test jade pillar in his hand and said to the person standing at the front of the team:
"Put your hand up."
The man put his hand up, and the jade pillar did not react at all.
"No spiritual roots."
After the middle-aged man finished speaking, the man immediately walked away with a look of disappointment on his face.
"No spiritual roots."
"No spiritual roots."
...
Nearly ten people were tested in a row, and all of them had no spiritual roots.
"It seems that there are not many people with the qualifications to practice spiritual roots." Chu Ning couldn't help but mutter in his heart at this moment.
Compared with the entire number of people of the same age in the nearby area, the number of people who came to Qingxi City for testing today is estimated to be less than one thousandth, and less than one of the ten people tested now has the qualifications.
This also means that people who can practice spiritual roots can be said to be one in a million.
At this time, the eleventh person had been tested. When the person put his hand on it, the test jade pillar suddenly showed five colors.
"Five-element pseudo spiritual roots can be considered as barely able to practice."
The middle-aged man spoke with a normal expression, but the person who was testing was delighted.
Except for a few people, the rest of the people who participated in the test also cast envious eyes.
Chu Ning also found out during this period that in this world of immortal cultivation, single-attribute spiritual roots are called heavenly spiritual roots, dual-attribute spiritual roots are called earthly spiritual roots, and three-attribute spiritual roots are called true spiritual roots.
The cultivation speed of the above three spiritual roots is very fast, among which the heavenly spiritual roots are the fastest.
The four-attribute spiritual roots and the five-attribute spiritual roots are called pseudo spiritual roots, and the cultivation speed is slow.
Therefore, the sect generally selects disciples with more than three spiritual roots to cultivate vigorously, while those with pseudo spiritual roots are generally recruited as sect errand disciples, who are responsible for planting, breeding, mining and other miscellaneous tasks while practicing.
Of course, the requirements of some large sects will be higher.
But even the errand disciples of the sect have completely separated their identities from ordinary people, especially the errand disciples who have the opportunity to enter the outer gate through practice.
Occasionally, some errand disciples can also get the opportunity to enter the inner gate or even go further.
It is precisely because of this that even if they hear about the five elements pseudo spiritual roots at this moment, many people are still extremely envious.
The test of the T-shaped column is still going on, and the next 7 people who have no spiritual roots are directly eliminated.
Finally, it was Chu Ning's turn. He stood in front of the test column and looked at the jade column in front of him with some curiosity.
"Put your hand here."
The voice of the middle-aged man came, and Chu Ning put his hand in a groove with a little expectation.
The jade column quickly flashed with light, and four rays of light appeared: green, white, red, and yellow.
The middle-aged man continued to use his plain voice and just said plainly:
"Four attributes of wood, water, fire, and earth pseudo spiritual roots."
As the middle-aged man's words fell, the people around looked over one after another, especially the unsuccessful teenagers, who looked at Chu Ning with unspeakable envy and jealousy.
Although Chu Ning is also a fake spiritual root, he is better than the man just now.
Among the first nineteen people in the T-shaped row, Chu Ning is the one with the best talent.
At this moment, Chu Ning's heart is quite uneasy.
"The four colors should represent the four spiritual roots, and the green should represent the wood attribute. I don't know if it's an illusion, but I always feel that the green is brighter. Will it be related to my Yinmu spiritual body?"
Although he had this idea in his mind, Chu Ning did not intend to propose it. He just thanked the middle-aged man and walked out of the team. Under the guidance, he came to the group of people who passed the test.
These days, he has heard a lot of information about spiritual roots, but no one has ever talked about spiritual bodies.
"Spiritual bodies must be very special. Even if they are not specially brought by my own golden finger, they must be very rare.
Before I figure out the specific situation, I can't expose my secrets at will."
Chu Ning made up his mind.
People's hearts are unpredictable. Being low-key and hiding is the way to survive.
The test is still going on, because there are indeed many people, it took a lot of time.
By the time the entire test was over, it was already noon.
The most sensational moment during the test was when one person was found to have dual-attribute earth spirit roots.
But this is undoubtedly extremely rare. Not to mention earth spirit roots, even if there are three-attribute true spirit roots, there are only more than ten people.
The other dozens of people are pseudo-spiritual roots like Chu Ning.
"The Qingxi Sect's selection is over this time, and the next selection will start in three years."
The voice resounded through the sky, and the next moment.
In the envious eyes of the crowd, Chu Ning and other people who passed the test boarded several spirit boats in batches, soared into the sky, and disappeared in the air in the blink of an eye.
The people standing in the original place looked at the sky for a long time and were unwilling to disperse. Everyone realized that from then on, there were two paths of immortals and mortals.
...
"This is the magic weapon, the cultivation of immortals is really magical!"
Chu Ning felt a completely different experience from flying in his previous life. Looking at the figure of the middle-aged man in green robes standing on the spirit boat, he felt inexplicably excited and expectant.
The expressions of the other teenagers at this moment were even more excited and excited.
A hundred miles away, arrived in a flash.
The middle-aged man who had tested Chu Ning before drove the spirit boat to a house at the foot of a mountain range.
Soon, another middle-aged man with a beard and short stature who looked to be in his forties walked out of the house and quickly came to the middle-aged man and said respectfully:
"Elder Chen!"
The middle-aged man nodded, and then said to the visitor:
"Deacon He, these are all disciples with pseudo-spiritual roots of the fourth and fifth attributes. They should go to your Baiyi Hall to train first, and then cultivate good seedlings."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for the other party to speak, he turned to face Chu Ning and said:
"This is Deacon He Changyouhe of Baiyi Hall. He will take you to Baiyi Hall to serve as handyman disciples. The sect will also arrange for people to teach you some basic cultivation methods.
You guys must not belittle yourselves, and don't slack off, practice hard, and one day you will be able to enter the sect to practice formally and step into the great avenue. "
"yes!!"
Chu Ning and the others responded one after another.
Elder Chen nodded slightly, and a jade slip suddenly appeared in his hand. He handed it to He Changyou without saying a word, turned around and left in the wind, disappearing in front of everyone in the blink of an eye.
As soon as he left, He Changyou, who was originally respectful, stood up straight, looked at the new group of people, and said in an imposing manner:
"Now we will assign rooms to you. There are fire stove rooms, spirit animal rooms, spiritual plant rooms, etc. People who go to different rooms are responsible for different affairs and practice different exercises."
When Chu Ning heard this, he immediately became serious. For him, it was undoubtedly best to go to an office where he could practice wood techniques and spells.
I just don’t know what the other party’s basis is for allocating rooms.
