Chapter 97 Spiritual Root Test

Di Jiu looked at the wallet Jing Mo Shuang gave him. There were ten silver coins and dozens of copper coins in it.

Di Jiu was no stranger to using gold, silver, and copper coins. Although Jiguo's science and technology had developed very well, in addition to banknotes, there were also gold and silver coins.

Di Jiu thought that the money would last him a few days. When he started looking for an inn in Jichuan City, he realized that the money he had was simply not enough.

The worst inn in Jichuan City now costs one silver coin a night, and that doesn't include meals. The slightly better inns cost more than five silver coins a night. The most important thing is that this is just the price. In fact, there is no inn to stay in in Jichuan City, and almost all inns are overcrowded.

In desperation, Di Jiu could only come to Dengxian Square and prepare to spend the night on the edge of the square.

Densen Square was originally called Jichuan Square. Because Jichuan City hosted the Immortal Sect’s recruitment activities, the name of the square was changed to Densen Square. Not only that, the square has also been expanded. The expanded square is more than ten times the size of the original square.

When Di Jiu came here, he realized that there were many people like him who had no place to live. Because overnight stays were not allowed in the middle of the square, many people set up simple tents on the edge of the square.

It was just for one night, and Di Jiu planned to find a slightly empty place on the edge of the square to deal with it. Before his meridians were broken, sometimes it would take more than half a month to practice at a time. Finding a place to sit like this all night is nothing.

After searching for most of the circle, Di Jiu couldn't find a suitable place to sit down. It was because he arrived too late.

"Brother, you can't find a place now. I came two hours in advance. Why don't you stay next to me all night?" A slightly thick voice stopped Di Jiu.

Di Jiu stopped and saw a gray-black mat. The mat was picked up from somewhere. It was speckled and looked dirty. Sitting on the mat was a tall man. When Di Jiu looked at him, he touched his short hair in embarrassment. It was he who had just called Di Jiu.

There is indeed an open space next to this big man. The open space is not big, and it is enough for Di Jiu to deal with him for one night.

"Thank you very much." Di Jiu walked to the big man and sat down.

The big man quickly took out another, dirtier mat from the oilcloth bag beside him and said, "Brother, please sit on my big mat. I have another one here."

Di Jiu waved his hand quickly, "No need, it's fine just like this."

To be honest, the bluestone slab under his buttocks is much cleaner than this big man's mat.

Di Jiu was afraid that the big man would continue to enthusiastically give him the mat, so he quickly asked, "You came two hours early and occupied this small place?"

"No, no, I originally occupied that place, and then I moved here." The big man pointed to the place not far away.

That place was obviously more open and airy than this place, and it was currently occupied by two young men.

"You're not right either. Even if you give up the place to someone else, isn't there still room next to it?" Di Jiu asked doubtfully.

The big man touched his head again and said, "I gave in a few more times, and finally I gave in here."

Di Jiu was speechless. This big man could easily win a trophy for helping others. It was because of this big man's willingness to help others that he gained a place.

As if he could tell that Di Jiu didn't quite understand, the big man smiled honestly, "My mother told me that I should learn to be courteous and humble outside."

Di Jiu was not familiar with this big man, so he could only say, "Your mother is right, but don't take it out easily if it belongs to you."

He could see that this big man had a kind heart. Di Jiu had experienced too many things and knew that people should be kind, but it also depends on the person they are with. It was as if this big man kindly gave up a few positions, but ended up being squeezed into this corner. Not everyone knows how to be grateful. Many people think that you should be grateful.

"Yes, yes, big brother, my name is Geng Jihua, what about you?" Geng Jihua has a good personality and doesn't think there is anything wrong with Di Jiu's words.

"My name is Di Jiu." Di Jiu was surprised that the name Geng Jihua, a big man with high arrogance, actually had the word "花" in his name.

Geng Jihua was very talkative, and without Di Jiu asking, Di Jiu knew that he came from a mountain village far away. By chance, he heard about the opening of the Immortal Gate in Jichuan City, and it took him half a year to travel here.

Di Jiu didn't know much from Geng Jihua. Geng Jihua came from a remote mountain village and didn't know anything about the continental structure and the succession of dynasties. As for the immortal sect information, I'm afraid it's not as much as he knows.

…

The night passed quickly. Di Jiu had just squinted his eyes for a while when the surroundings started to become noisy. He opened his eyes and saw that Geng Jihua had put away the mat and was watching the major immortal sects enter with excitement.

Seeing Di Jiu wake up, he quickly took out a kettle and handed it to Di Jiu and said, "Brother Jiu, wash your face. I heard that when the Immortal Sect recruits disciples, they must be neatly dressed."

"Okay, thank you." Di Jiu wiped his face briefly, straightened his clothes, and followed Geng Jihua into the square.

"Brother, I don't know which sect is better." Looking at the rows of sect logos, Geng Jihua rubbed her hands, her eyes gleaming with desire.

Di Jiu also didn't understand, so he had to say, "Like you, I don't know which are the big sects and which are the small sects. When the time comes, we will see which sect occupies the largest area, and that will be the big one."

A voice next to him replied, "This time the top sects in the Northern Territory are here. You see, Zhenli Sword Sect, Nikun Sect, and Lei Yu Sect are all top sects. Jinghai Sect, Xinghe Sect, Wanfa Palace, Liuli Sect, etc. Zhengu is a second-rate sect, and the rest are considered third-rate or fourth-rate sects.”

Di Jiu took a look and found that the Zhenli Jian Sect, Ni Kun Sect, and Lei Yu Sect had the largest areas and were the most luxurious.

"Brother Ninth, let's go queue up too." Seeing many people waiting in line for the test, Geng Jihua couldn't help but said.

Di Jiu also wanted to know early what level his spiritual roots had mutated to, "Okay, just stand behind the Zhenli Sword Sect."

The Zhenli Sword Sect has the most people behind it, and it seems that the Zhenli Sword Sect is also the largest sect.

Although there were many people coming here to participate in the Climbing Immortal Sect, Di Jiu saw that the speed of the test was very fast. Those who participate in the Climbing the Immortal Sect only need to stand on an instrument and place their hands in the two grooves. There is a beam of light flashing out from behind the instrument. The one that flashes one beam of light is a single spiritual root, and the one that flashes two beams of light is a double spiritual root. In order, there are three spiritual roots and four spiritual roots.

After looking at it for a while, Di Jiu summed up the signs of good or bad spiritual roots for the Immortal Sect to recruit disciples. The Zhenli Sword Sect has recruited a genius with a pure wood spiritual root. This is a single spiritual root. The cyan light pillar is one foot high, and the cyan color is eye-catching.

But not all single spiritual roots are good. If the light beam is not pure color but mottled, it will not be recruited.

There is also a participant with two spiritual roots. The red light beam of one spiritual root is less than three feet, and the earthy yellow light beam of the other spiritual root is also close to one foot. Because the khaki beam of light had no color at all, he was recruited as a genius.

There are also those with three spiritual roots who are recruited. All the disciples who are recruited have one characteristic, that is, one of the light pillars must be very prominent, at least more than half a foot long, and the color of the light pillar must be pure, without any variegated colors.

There were fewer people with four spiritual roots recruited, only one. Di Jiu also saw a few with five spiritual roots, but none of them were recruited.

"Brother Jiu, it's my turn." Geng Jihua greeted Di Jiu excitedly after seeing the people in front of him finishing the test, and walked to the test site of the Zhenli Sword Sect in a few steps.

"Come on." Even though Di Jiu knew that it was meaningless, he still shouted "Come on."

Geng Jihua walked into the testing instrument, placed her hands on the groove of the instrument, and a mottled blue light beam shot out two meters upward.

Di Jiu looked at the blue light beam behind Geng Halberd Flower in amazement. Until now, he had observed one or two hundred people, and this was the first time he saw blue light.

"Hey, the strange thunder spiritual root... It's a pity that this spiritual root is too mottled. Otherwise, you would be the number one genius here..." The monk who helped Geng Jihua test shook his head, motioned Geng Jihua to come down and said, "Unqualified, next one."
