"Dear gentlemen and ladies, welcome to the Dazhongshan Branch of Shengxian Pavilion. I am your guide to the world of immortality."
"My deacon, Fuzhong, is also the most reputable businessman in Dazhongshan. If necessary in the future, please choose Shengxian Pavilion."
"Next, please follow me."
The young people got off the carriage and gathered around. A middle-aged man who looked fat, short, and had a rich face received them.
This Fuzhong is like a typical businessman. No matter who he is, he always bends his back slightly and has a smile on his face, but he will definitely suffer a big loss if he is really underestimated because of this.
Jiang Li inadvertently threw away an identification technique.
As his strength increased, the original danger level of the warriors in the convoy had become "high".
Another bright red sign of extreme danger, which means that Jiang Li has no ability to resist in front of the opponent, and has no chance to escape.
Accustomed to the indifference and arrogance of those warriors and even those who led the immortal cultivators, this Fuzhong obviously has the strength to easily crush them to death, but he can maintain such an attitude. He can only be said to be a businessman.
Fu Zhong led everyone around and soon arrived at a large and spacious room.
It is somewhat similar to the indoor playground in previous lives, but it is built like this using only log mortise and tenon joints. This is also the powerful wisdom of the ancients.
The room is quite empty, and the most noticeable thing in front of you is the ten small magic circles lined up in a row.
[Name: Basic Spirit Detection Array]
[Type: Formation]
[Grade: Yellow grade top grade]
[Function: Spiritual Testing]
"Masters and ladies, listen to me. When you left your hometown, you were all tested to have spiritual roots."
"Now, we will pass more detailed tests to determine your spiritual root level. This will determine how far and how fast you can go on the road to immortality in the future."
"Listen carefully to what I say, you only have one chance to test."
Fuzhong's voice was quiet, but could reach everyone's ears clearly.
Some of the rioting crowd quickly quieted down, and the sound of swallowing could be heard clearly.
Even Jiang Li couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Whether he would start with the Dragon Aotian style of the innate Taoist body or the lowly spiritual root waste wood style, this was the moment to decide his fate.
"When my names are called later, come up one by one."
"Wang Ming, Han Ping, Li Baichen, Hu Feifei..."
The first group of ten people came forward and stood apart with some anxiety.
"Come, sit on the futon in this formation, cross your knees and straighten your back."
The ten teenagers did as they were told. If some of the movements were not perfect, the assistants next to them stepped forward to correct them.
"Okay, now hold up the glass bead in front of you and keep your palms facing each other."
It was a translucent bead the size of a coconut and looked a bit heavy.
"Next, close your eyes and don't move. Hold the spirit-testing bead and don't let go no matter what. Remember, you can't come down until I tell you to come down!"
Seeing the boys and girls nodding solemnly, Fuzhong nodded to the assistants standing beside the magic circle.
"let's start."
The assistants followed the instructions and took out a piece of spiritual stone and pressed it together on the gap in the formation on the ground.
The next moment, the formation suddenly lit up with fluorescence, and the boys and girls sitting on the futon trembled slightly as if they had been stimulated by something.
It's no wonder that there is no second chance. Each test consumes a spirit stone. If you make a mistake, Shengxian Pavilion will obviously not reimburse you.
After two or three minutes, Jiang Li noticed that the spirit-measuring beads in their hands began to slowly light up.
The colors of the light are different, and the speed of lighting up is also faster or slower.
About nine minutes later and less than ten minutes later, the spirit-measuring bead in one of the boy's hands seemed to have reached its limit, suddenly flashed and then went out.
"Li Baichen, top grade earth attribute spiritual root!"
The assistant next to him looked obviously very happy. After shouting, he quickly carved out a wooden sign and hung it around the young man's neck.
Fuzhong personally stepped forward to help Li Baichen up and helped him tidy up his clothes in a very friendly manner, which made the other party feel flattered.
"Little brother, your qualifications are very good. When you choose a sect, you might as well consider our Shengxian Pavilion."
Li Baichen didn't have much of a presence in the team at first. He had been following Li Chao who had died on the road as a follower. Later, he became more honest after being beaten by Jiang Li.
Unexpectedly, the high-grade spiritual root was actually detected at this time, and he suddenly burst into joy. He stood aside with his head raised and his expression proud.
Jiang Li noticed that the other person glanced at him from time to time, wondering what was going on in his mind. After being stared back at, he pretended to turn away casually.
Without even thinking about it, the other party must be thinking about revenge.
Except for Li Baichen, the performance of others was obviously much worse.
Only two people filled up the spirit-detecting ball in more than twenty minutes, and were labeled as having medium-grade spiritual roots.
The remaining seven people were even more unbearable. It was not until two-quarters of an hour, that is, thirty minutes later, that the energy in the spirit stones was exhausted, the formation was completely extinguished, and the spirit detection balls in their hands were not filled up.
For them, Fuzhong was too lazy to say a word. The assistants distributed wooden signs of "low-grade spiritual roots" and "low-grade spiritual roots" to them based on the filling level of spiritual energy in the spiritual ball.
From the attitudes of others, they obviously realized that something was wrong. Their lack of qualifications would make their future path to immortality full of ups and downs.
Everyone standing next to them didn't look very good.
After several rounds of tests, Jiang Li roughly summarized the criteria for judging different spiritual roots based on his observations.
Excluding some special physiques that are rare in the world, the world of immortality roughly divides spiritual roots into five levels.
The best spiritual root: fill the spiritual ball within three minutes.
High-grade spiritual root: Fill the spiritual ball within ten minutes.
Middle-grade spiritual root: Fill the spiritual ball within thirty minutes.
Low-grade spiritual root: after thirty minutes, more than one-third of the spiritual ball will be filled.
Inferior Spiritual Root: Less than one-third of the spirit-detecting ball will be filled after thirty minutes.
According to the attitudes of the people inside Shengxian Pavilion, the gap between each grade is huge.
In addition, there are also dual-attribute or even multi-attribute spiritual roots. Although this talent is not as good as higher-level spiritual roots that directly accelerate cultivation, it can still be of great help to monks.
I waited for two more rounds of testing.
"Cai Dezhong, Gu Zhiping, Qiao Jiaju, Yan Fengyue, Yan Hong,...Jiang Li."
It’s finally my turn!
When things came to a close, even Jiang Li seemed to have returned to the mood he had when he checked the college entrance examination results, and was even more anxious.
After all, you can still work hard on your own for the college entrance examination, and this qualification test is entirely up to God's will.
Yan Hong next to him was not much better than him, his upper and lower teeth began to tremble nervously.
They stepped forward together and sat on the futons in rows according to Fuzhong's instructions.
Only then did Jiang Li have the opportunity to observe the formation patterns on the ground up close.
The lines were intertwined and mysterious, and there seemed to be a special pattern between the lines, but the feeling was very strange and hard. After just looking at it for a moment, I felt that the picture in front of me was spinning. I quickly closed my eyes and calmed down.
Come.
"Pick up the soul-detecting ball, palms facing each other!"
Jiang Li stopped caring about anything else and quickly followed the instructions.
The translucent spirit-detecting ball feels warm and not heavy in the hand, and it doesn't seem to be completely solid.
After closing his eyes and waiting for a moment, he suddenly felt that the air around him seemed to have become clearer. As he breathed, a stream of cold breath flowed in from the pores of his body, flowing everywhere in his body.
He now knew why everyone who sat on the seat was trembling all over. The excitement coming from inside the body was really uncontrollable.
But soon, he found that the cold breath was attracted by something, and rushed towards the palms of his hands.
No need to guess, it's a spiritual ball.
It turns out that the spirit-testing ceremony uses formations to draw out the spiritual energy from the spirit stones, then introduces it into the subject's body, and finally it is extracted and displayed by the spirit-testing beads.
Depending on each person's spiritual root qualifications, the speed of absorbing spiritual energy will be very different, and these differences will be fully reflected in the spirit measuring beads.
But is his own speed fast or slow?
Jiang Li had no way to judge. He could only use his consciousness to guide and see if he could make the flow of spiritual energy faster.
Slowly, little bits of fluorescence appeared in the dark field of vision, and the fluorescence aggregated and became clearer and brighter.
Finally, a picture formed in front of Jiang Li.
A cold full moon hangs in the sky, with a faint moonlight shining down. Below is an ancient tree with lush branches and leaves standing quietly.
"Yan Hong, top grade water attribute spiritual root!"
Just then, an assistant announced the curtain loudly.
Then, the fat guy Yan Hong laughed arrogantly.
"Haha, this young master is indeed a genius! Don't be afraid Jiang Li, my brother will protect you from now on!"
Even with his eyes closed, Jiang Li could imagine the other person's proud expression.
He curled his lips helplessly, cursing the fat man in his heart.
Then before he could silently count more than a hundred times, another announcement came to mind.
Jiang Li opened his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief. This result already satisfied him.
Although it is a middle-grade spiritual root, in fact, in terms of the time it takes to fill the spirit ball, it is less than two minutes slower than Yan Hong, making it the best among the middle-grade spiritual roots.
Moreover, he has dual-attribute spiritual roots, which can add a lot of points. This qualification can already exceed 90% of the people in the world of cultivation.
At this time, Fuzhong, who had just finished talking to Yan Hong, his eyes lit up, and he immediately ran to Jiang Li, and kindly helped him up with his big fleshy hands.
"The young man's name is Jiang Li, right? He's really good! With such a talented person, he will definitely have a bright future."
"It's a pity. It's obviously only a dozen breaths away from becoming a high-grade spiritual root. But the rules are rules. If you exceed the time, you can only be considered a middle-grade spiritual root. I can't help you. Besides, young man, you are still a dual-attribute spirit.
