Four hundred and sixtieth chapters under the root of the spirit
Zhan Chen had made many assumptions before, but he never expected that the entrance examination point of the Linghe Sect would be located in such a conspicuous place. He had obviously had such a hard time finding it before.
The Immortal Sect, which has always been mysterious in his mind, would rent a shop in this downtown area to attract people to join them. Zhan Chen even wondered if he had a vision, so that he was at the door
After standing for a while, I was convinced that all this was real.
Suppressing the doubts in his mind, he walked into the Linghe Sect assessment point. As soon as he entered, he saw a strange scene. There were more than a dozen warriors kneeling on the floor of the hall, each with a heavy barbell on their shoulders.
Most of them even turned pale and their lips turned blue, but they still clenched their teeth and held on to the barbell.
In huge contrast, on the other side of the room, two young men in Taoist robes were sitting leisurely at the coffee table, sipping tea, seemingly not caring at all about the life and death of those holding bells on the ground.
When Zhan Chen saw the two young men in Taoist robes, his expression tightened because he could not tell the specific cultivation level of these two people, which meant that they were probably both powerful Taoists.
Seeing Zhan Chen walk in, one of the young men in Taoist robes stood up, came to him, and asked arrogantly: Are you here to take the test?
Zhan Chen was stunned for a moment, then he bowed his hands and said: Yes, senior.
Well, let me make it clear to you first. There is only one condition for joining our Linghe Sect, and that is that the spiritual root must reach the middle grade or above.
Zhan Chen was stunned again and asked: Are there no specific requirements for cultivation?
Cultivation level is not important. As long as you have high-grade spiritual roots or top-grade spiritual roots, then even if you are a martial artist or even a martial arts disciple, our Linghe Sect will welcome you. You know that the most important thing to look for in cultivating immortals is the word "immortal fate".
, Without immortality, no matter how hard you try, you will never become an immortal. This is the same for any sect. The young man said arbitrarily.
At this moment, Zhan Chen wanted to refute immediately, but he did not do so in the end, because doing so would be a thankless task for him, so he had no choice but to remain silent.
Okay, let's see what kind of spiritual root you have. As the young man spoke, he took out a palm-sized ball from the storage ring on his hand. The ball was white, warm and shining like jade.
Charming luster.
This bead is called a spirit-detecting stone. You just need to put your palm on it and send a trace of true energy into it. If the ball emits gray light, it is a low-grade spiritual root; if it is a low-grade spiritual root, then it is
It will emit green light; if it is a middle-grade spiritual root, it will emit blue light; if it is a high-grade spiritual root, it will emit red light; if it is a top-grade spiritual root, it will emit purple light.
Zhan Chen could clearly detect the envy flashing in the eyes of the young man in Taoist robes when he mentioned the top-grade spiritual roots and the best spiritual roots.
However, he obviously did not think that Zhan Chen had such qualifications. Otherwise, how could he choose a small immortal sect like Linghe Sect? A few streets away is the assessment point of Yuxiao Palace. Anyone with a little bit of qualifications will definitely go there.
Try your luck there.
However, he still said in a formulaic manner: Well, you are here to try and see what grade of spiritual root it is. If it is an inferior spiritual root or a low-grade spiritual root, our Linghe Sect will not accept you.
Zhan Chen looked at the spirit-testing stone in the young man's hand, and his heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate. Although he had already received the high-grade spiritual root from Master Zhiyuan before, when it came to the real test, he would inevitably have a worry about gain and loss.
What if not?
He slowly raised his hand and pressed his palm on the spiritual stone. The surface of the spiritual stone felt so cold to the touch that it seemed to send a chill all over his body.
Zhan Chen took a deep breath, stabilized his mind, and then injected a trace of true energy into the spirit-detecting stone. The spirit-detecting stone immediately responded, blooming with a red light, illuminating the entire hall.
It attracted the attention of everyone in the room for a while, and the two young men in Taoist robes were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped to the ground, and they murmured: This is a top-grade spiritual root.
This fiery red light is just like the brilliance of the sun, sweeping away the chill on Zhan Chen's body, causing a joyful smile to bloom on his face, and he thought excitedly in his heart: This is really great, Master Zhiyuan said
That's absolutely right, I have the crystal spiritual root
This junior brother, my name is Chen Song, what is your name? The Taoist robe young man began to take the initiative to introduce himself, his face turned from cloudy to clear, and he showed an amiable smile, as if Zhan Chen was already his classmate.
Zhan Chen was also flattered. Why did the young man treat him so arrogantly but respectfully? He said: Junior brother, I haven't joined the Linghe sect yet.
Haha, you have high-grade spiritual roots and have been admitted. It is inevitable to become a disciple of the Linghe Sect. It is not wrong for me to call you junior brother. Chen Song said with a smile.
Zhan Chen also nodded happily, thinking: I didn't expect things to go so smoothly. Fortunately, I have a good spiritual root. He then said to Chen Song: Then please allow me to boldly call you Senior Brother Chen. My name is Zhan Chen.
Junior Brother Zhan, my name is Zhou Ren. At this time, another young man in Taoist robes also took the initiative to greet him and greeted him warmly.
Senior Brother Chen, Senior Brother Zhou, why have you suddenly become so polite? Zhan Chenqi said.
Chen Song sighed and said: Well, we both envy you.
Envy me, could you be referring to this high-grade spiritual root?
Yes, both Zhou Ren and I only have middle-grade spiritual roots. I think that as soon as you enter our sect, you will receive the sect's key training, and you may even be directly accepted as a direct disciple by an elder.
Senior Brother Chen, I really don’t understand, are spiritual roots so important?
It’s not just important, it’s crucial. You didn’t know that having a good spiritual root can not only increase the chance of a warrior breaking through to the realm of Taoism, but also affect the speed of cultivation after the breakthrough. For example, my current cultivation is Peeping Yuan
Elementary level, if you, Junior Brother Zhan, also break through to the elementary level of Guiyuan, we both practice the same technique.
The cultivation environment is exactly the same, so if your cultivation speed is twice that of mine, if you are a person with the best spiritual roots, under the same conditions, your cultivation speed will be four times that of mine. And in the future cultivation, you will always achieve breakthroughs.
Bottleneck, a person with good spiritual roots will have it much easier than a person with poor spiritual roots.
So that's it
Haha, it’s not just that. Chen Song smiled bitterly and said: A person’s spiritual root also determines his future achievements. People like Zhou Ren and I who have middle-grade spiritual roots, if they don’t encounter quite big adventures, then
At most, you can cultivate to the Yuanshen Realm; but you are different. As long as you work hard, you may have a chance to break through the Mingfa Realm or even the Law Body Realm in the future.
I didn't expect that a spiritual root would be so important. Zhan Chen couldn't help but sigh. At the same time, he felt deeply that he was very lucky.
Yes, Junior Brother Zhan, Zhou Ren and I can still call you that for now, but soon, I'm afraid we will have to change our name to Senior Brother Zhan. Chen Song said.
After hearing his explanation, Zhan Chen understood the reason why they suddenly became respectful to him. This could be regarded as a kind of emotional investment in advance.
Several people were chatting animatedly when suddenly they heard a loud bang on the floor, interrupting their conversation.
Zhan Chen followed the sound and found that a warrior could no longer bear the barbell on his shoulders and dropped it on the ground.
Seeing this, Chen Song's face turned cold and he said to him: Ning Er, you have been eliminated, let's go.
The man named Ning Er shouted unwillingly: Immortal Master, please give me another chance.
Chen Song said with a straight face: No, this is the rule we have set. It's useless for you to beg.
please
Humph, you shameless thing, do you want me to drive you away? Chen Song threatened.
A trace of fear flashed across Ning Er's face, and he quickly struggled to get up from the ground and limped out of the door.
Seeing this scene, Zhan Chen couldn't help but ask: Brother Chen, who are these people?
Junior Brother Zhan, these people are all people with low-grade spiritual roots or useless spiritual roots.
So what does it mean that they are kneeling here and holding up the barbell?
Chen Song explained: Junior Brother Zhan, you don’t know something. This can be regarded as an assessment. It is an assessment specifically for warriors with low-grade spiritual roots or useless spiritual roots. As long as they can hold the barbell here and persist for three days.
Ye, can also be regarded as passing the assessment, but the premise is that they cannot move even a single step, otherwise they will be considered a failure.
So that’s it, how much do each of these barbells weigh?
One weighs five million kilograms.
Five million kilograms. Zhan Chen took a breath of air. Five million kilograms is the limit of the strength of the Martial Saint Dzogchen warriors. Although these people are allowed to carry it on their shoulders, they must persist for three days and three nights, and they must remain motionless.
These two conditions make it almost impossible to pass this assessment.
Chen Song seemed to see what Zhan Chen was thinking and said with a smile: Junior Brother Zhan, there is nothing we can do about this. We examiners can only follow the rules set by the sect. Besides, what does it matter if these people join our sect?
Using it will only waste resources, so I think the sect set this rule just to let these people suffer a little and quit when they face difficulties.
Zhan Chen pondered for a while: No, the Linghe Sect set this rule not to make these people quit in the face of difficulties. In my opinion, it is more like giving these people with poor qualifications a chance. But he didn't
Say this out loud.
Chen Song's remarks attracted angry looks from the warriors kneeling on the ground, but he still didn't care about it. Yes, how could someone who could never break through to the realm of Taoism pose a threat to himself?
At this time Zhou Ren said: Junior Brother Zhan, don’t worry about this. Come quickly and try the spiritual tea produced by our Linghe Sect Tianjian Peak. It is very precious.
Oh, thank you two senior brothers. Zhan Chen responded casually and sat down with these two people to taste tea. However, for some reason, he could not taste the taste of the tea at all, and his heart was still firmly tied.
On the warriors kneeling in the center of the hall. Because he could not forget that he was once weak.
