Compared with Xuanwu Star, Baiqiu Star, which has not been contaminated by unspeakable creatures, has obviously richer cultivation resources.
Even monks like Zuoqiu Jing'er who are in the Qi training period have storage bags hanging around their waists for storing items.
After Zuoqiu Jing'er received the technique from Chengshuo, she quietly put it into her storage bag and watched Chengshuo quietly.
The latter slowly spoke: "You are an inner disciple of the Haoran Sect, right? What is the name of the practice technique you major in?"
"this"
Seeing Chenghuo asking questions, Zuoqiu Jing'er's eyes showed a trace of confusion.
After all, there is a clear rule in the Haoran Sect: there are no restrictions on the exchange of skills and moves among the disciples of the sect, but no one is strictly forbidden to teach the skills to outsiders.
Anyone who violates the rules will be sent to work in the Spirit Vein Mine at the least, and at worst they will lose their cultivation and be expelled from the sect.
"What?" Zuoqiu Jing'er, who just loves you, remained silent and said with a smile: "You are just a monk in the Qi training stage. Are you still worried that I will spy on you and not succeed in Qin? Do you think you are qualified for me to spy on you?"
Zuoqiu Jing'er lowered her head and said in a low posture: "It's not that Jing'er is unwilling, it's just that the sect has regulations that prohibit the sect's martial arts from being taught to outsiders."
"Ha," Chenghuo sneered and said, "These rules are dead, but people are alive, right? Just like now, if a knife is placed on your neck, will you still abide by the sect's rules?"
"Senior, you are joking." Zuoqiu Jing'er said with a smile, "If the knife really reaches Jing'er's neck,"
"I'm not kidding you."
Seeing Zuoqiu Jing'er smiling playfully with him, Cheng Sheng decisively took out a golden elixir-level flying sword from the space gem on his chest.
He placed the flying sword on Zuoqiu Jing'er's neck and said with a hint of doubt in his tone: "Take out the technique, I don't want to repeat it a second time."
"Senior, please take a look!"
Seeing that Cheng Huo drew his sword after a disagreement, Zuo Qiu Jing'er immediately took out the "Haoran Zhengqi Jue", a skill practiced by an inner disciple of the Haoran Sect without hesitation.
She knelt on the ground, held the exercises in both hands and presented them to Cheng Sheng, her attitude was extremely respectful.
in the hall.
Chengshuo fell out at the slightest disagreement and groomed Zuoqiu Jing'er until she was submissive, leaving Fu Ruoyun and others who were accompanying him dumbfounded.
Everyone looked at everything in front of them with shocked expressions, as if they were meeting each other for the first time.
Then everyone looked at each other in a tacit understanding, and when they saw doubts and confusion in each other's eyes, they couldn't help but smile bitterly.
have to.
Unexpectedly, this usually silent Man Xin turned out to be a deeply hidden master of cultivating immortals.
Just when everyone present was shocked, Chengshuo had also roughly scanned Haoran Zong's "Haoran Zhengqi Jue".
Before invading Bai Qiuxing, Cheng Huo invaded a planet called 'Guangyu Star' and became a disciple of the Haoyue Sect on Guangyu Star.
Compared with the Haoyue Sect's "Haoyue Qi Training Technique", the "Haoran Righteous Qi Technique" in Cheng Huo's hand does not seem to be any different.
Both are methods of strengthening themselves by absorbing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.
Since there was nothing remarkable about the exercises, Chenghuo turned his attention to the 'spiritual roots' possessed by the practitioners.
He released his spiritual consciousness in his body and scanned Zuoqiu Jing'er's entire body from the inside out.
At this moment, Zuoqiu Jing'er felt as if she had been stripped naked and looked at clearly in front of Chengshuo.
Even what he was thinking in his heart was clearly seen by Chengshuo.
This feeling comes and goes as quickly as it comes.
In just a few breaths, Chenghuo took his spiritual consciousness back into his body, and frowned at the same time: "It's strange why there's no difference at all?"
"What's the difference?" Zuoqiu Jing'er asked subconsciously.
Fu Ruoyun and others beside Cheng Huo also showed confused expressions.
But Jian Chenghuo explained: "As far as I know, all immortal cultivators have 'spiritual roots' in their bodies, and only those with 'spiritual roots' can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for their own use."
"But I just checked the situation in your body and found that except for some extra energy, which is the so-called 'spiritual energy', the rest of your body is no different from that of a mortal."
Chenghuo said to Zuoqiu Jing'er: "So what exactly is the 'spiritual root' in your body as a cultivator? Can you describe it in detail?"
As soon as these words came out, Zuoqiu Jing'er was greatly confused: "Isn't the senior also a practitioner? And his cultivation level is much higher than mine, why?"
Chengshuo interrupted the other party and said: "You don't need to know so much, just answer my question: What does the 'spiritual root' of you practitioners look like, and how did you obtain the 'spiritual root'."
"Then let me first tell you how a mortal can obtain the 'spiritual root'."
Zuoqiu Jing'er replied: "If a person wants to obtain the 'spiritual root', he must first let the major immortal sects determine whether this person is qualified to cultivate immortality."
"As for what standards are used to judge it."
Zuoqiu Jing'er thought for a while and said: "Although all the major immortal sects in our Yun Kingdom have formations such as testing the state of mind or testing the willpower, which are used to assess newcomers, in most cases, it determines whether a person can What determines admission into the Immortal Sect is not the person’s results in the formation test, but the person’s relationships and background.”
"Generally speaking, descendants of monks, or relatives in their clan, have priority to worship the Immortal Sect."
"These people, even if their results in the formation test are not ideal, will still be able to join the Immortal Sect in the end."
"Then there are some powerful people in the secular world."
"After that, there are mortals. If the sect cannot recruit anyone with connections and backgrounds when it recruits disciples, it will use the formation test results for assessment and recruit a very small number of people from humble backgrounds as disciples."
"After successfully joining the Immortal Sect, this person will be able to obtain the 'spiritual root' from the Immortal Sect. In this way, he will officially become an immortal cultivator."
"This is how to obtain the 'Spiritual Root'."
If a mortal wants to join the Immortal Sect, he must pass the formation assessment of each major Immortal Sect.
This is no longer a secret.
The original owner Manxin, who had been wandering around before, had heard about the body occupied by Chengsheng.
But what everyone present did not expect was that there were so many hidden rules and secrets behind the Immortal Sect Formation Assessment.
Among the warriors, Fu Ruoyun had participated in the Immortal Sect Formation Assessment more than once.
Fu Ruoyun felt angry when he thought about his past experiences, where he had been repeatedly hit by many unspoken rules.
At that moment, he couldn't help but said: "Since the Immortal Sect only values birth and background, then why do you want to recruit people of low origin? Why not just do it to death and simply not let any low-level mortals worship into the Immortal Sect? Isn't that right? better?"
"Ah,"
Zuoqiu Jing'er had a hint of disdain in her eyes, and said with a chuckle: "You people from poor backgrounds flock to you, and the qualifications of being a disciple of the Immortal Sect, which you regard as a treasure, are actually just like that in the eyes of some powerful people."
"After all, cultivating immortality is a very difficult thing, and it doesn't necessarily pay off."
"Maybe you practice hard every day and work hard all your life, but in the end you can't even break through the bottleneck in the later stages of Qi training."
"So in comparison, the rich and powerful are actually more willing to stay in the secular world, enjoy debauchery, and spend their entire lives comfortably."
"Only a very small number of powerful people who want to make progress, or those who are forced by their parents, will choose to join the Immortal Sect and practice cultivation."
"I can't understand this." After listening to Zuoqiu Jing'er's explanation, Chengshuo said in confusion: "No matter how low the chance of breaking through to the foundation building stage is, it is cultivating an immortal after all. As long as it succeeds, it can extend its lifespan. , it can last longer.”
"So none of those powerful people want to take a gamble? If you win the bet, not only will you get more money, but the people around you will also be able to ascend to heaven!"
"Senior, I don't know something." Zuo Qiu Jing'er smiled and replied, "There are three, six or nine levels among people, and the same is true between the powerful and the powerful."
"It's a very simple truth: Although most dignitaries from poor families have the qualifications to join the Immortal Sect, due to the limited resources provided by their parents, they usually spend their whole lives practicing to the foundation building stage. It's amazing, and they can Those who have cultivated to the foundation-building stage must be one of the best."
"Most of the parents of such powerful people from humble backgrounds were monks in the Qi training stage, or powerful people in the secular world."
"After the rich and powerful from poor families worship the Immortal Gate, they can only obtain the 'low-level spiritual roots' from the Immortal Gate."
"If you go one level up, your parents are foundation-building monks, or they are middle-level dignitaries who come from royal families in the secular world."
"After the middle-level dignitaries worship the Immortal Sect, they can obtain the 'Intermediate Spiritual Root' from the Immortal Sect."
"Whether it is the speed of cultivation, the quality of spiritual energy or the success rate of breaking through bottlenecks, 'intermediate spiritual roots' are far better than 'low-level spiritual roots'."
"Not only spiritual roots, middle-level dignitaries also bring a lot of spiritual resources with them when they are born, so nearly 90% of them will join the Immortal Sect when they grow up, and rise to the top all the way."
"The middle-level dignitaries are the worst, but they can still reach the late stage of Qi training and become the elders of the sect."
"If you are good, you can cultivate to the foundation building stage or even higher!"
Zuoqiu Jing'er finally concluded: "So, only people with such a background have the value to step into the immortal way. As for the powerful people from poor families at the bottom, they are just green leaves as a foil, so the powerful people from poor families enjoy the world at home. Doesn't wealth smell good? Why bother to seek the illusory immortality?"
Are there any resources for spiritual practice?
After Zuoqiu Jing'er's explanation, Chengshuo has roughly figured out some general situations about practitioners in this world.
Unlike the monks on Xuanwu Planet, they only value the severity of the pollution they have suffered and their ability to resist pollution.
The monks on Bai Qiuxing seem to be extremely dependent on cultivation resources and do not value personal talents at all.
It has even reached the point where without the resources to practice, there will be no progress in the future.
But this is understandable: after all, the spiritual roots of the monks on Bai Qiuxing are all given by the major immortal sects, rather than being born with them.
Since the 'spiritual roots' are given by others, naturally there is no such thing as talent.
Thinking of this, Chengshuo became more and more curious about the 'spiritual root'.
In particular, the 'spiritual roots' given by the Immortal Sect were divided into low-level, intermediate and high-level, which aroused even more interest in survival.
Chenghuo continued to ask Zuoqiu Jing'er: "Since the 'spiritual roots' of the immortal cultivators are all given by the immortal sects, how did the 'spiritual roots' in the hands of the major immortal sects come from?"
"Also, have you seen what the 'spiritual root' looks like specifically? And how are the 'spiritual roots' transplanted into the body of the immortal cultivator?"
"Senior, you think too highly of Jing'er." Zuoqiu Jing'er shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "In the final analysis, Jing'er is just a monk in the Qi training period, an inner disciple of the Haoran Sect, who knows how to recruit disciples from the Immortal Sect. Some unspoken rules are already difficult.”
"As for the more obscure secrets, such as how the immortal sect's 'spiritual roots' came from and how they were transplanted into the bodies of immortal cultivators, these Jing'er are definitely not qualified to know."
"You don't know?" Chengshuo asked doubtfully, "If you don't know, then where did the 'spiritual root' in your body come from?"
Zuoqiu Jing'er replied: "When the Immortal Sect transplants the 'spiritual root' for a new disciple, it will give the new disciple a bowl of special soup in advance. The person who takes it will soon fall unconscious. When he wakes up, The 'spiritual root' has been transplanted into the body."
Are you doing such a good job of keeping confidentiality?
Cheng Sheng was only slightly interested in the 'spiritual root' issue at the beginning.
But after learning that the Immortal Sect's confidentiality work was so tight, he became more and more interested in knowing the inside story related to the 'spiritual root'.
Chengshuo continued to get information from Zuoqiu Jing'er: "Speaking of which Haoran Sect you are in, who is the person with the highest cultivation level in the sect, and what is his specific level?"
Zuoqiu Jing'er was shocked when she heard this.
As if she had guessed something, she took a careful look at Chengshuo and pointed out: "Well, seniors from small sects like Haoran Sect are not qualified to transplant 'spiritual roots' for monks on their own."
"Whenever the Haoran Sect recruits a new disciple, it will report it to the Zhenyang Sect, the largest sect in the northern border of Yun Kingdom, and then the Zhenyang Sect will send monks to transplant the 'spiritual roots'."
"I ask a question, you just answer it." Chenghuo frowned when he heard this and said, "Who is the person with the highest cultivation level in your Haoran Sect, and what is his specific level?"
Zuoqiu Jing'er hurriedly said: "I, Master Zuoqiu, the great ancestor of the Haoran Sect, have the early stage cultivation of Jindan."
Master Zuoqiu?
Is the ancestor of the Haoran Sect also named Zuoqiu?
Chengshuo was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously glanced at Zuoqiu Jing'er, thoughtfully.
He turned around and said: "I see that there are not many monks in Mingxuan City. This means that monks generally do not stay in cities where mortals gather. So why did you come to Mingxuan City this time?"
Zuoqiu Jing'er said truthfully: "Recently, the demon sect in the northern border of Yun Kingdom has suddenly become much more active. It seems that there is a tendency to start a war with the righteous way."
"So as the leader of the righteous path in the northern territory of Yun Kingdom, the Zhenyang Sect, like a small sect like our Haoran Sect, contacts the warrior gangs in various mortal cities, gathers manpower, and then reserves more war preparation resources."
"Among them, the person I am responsible for contacting is the Sea Whale Gang, one of the seven major gangs in Mingxuan City."
In the lobby of Jupeng Pavilion.
After Zuoqiu Jing'er explained the purpose of his visit to Chenghuo, the leader of the Sea Whale Gang, who had been standing aside for a long time, hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down to worship Chenghuo.
He imitated Zuoqiu Jing'er's previous words and rushed to worship him: "Diao Xinran, the leader of the Sea Whale Gang in Xuancheng City, Ming Dynasty, has met my senior!"
"Get up." Seeing that the person kneeling before him was just a mortal warrior, Cheng Sheng didn't say much to him. He just turned to Zuoqiu Jing'er and said, "Tell me, what exactly is the demon sect you just mentioned?" Given the situation, why do you want to start a war with Zhenyangmen and other righteous paths?"
"That's a long story."
Zuoqiu Jing'er thought for a while and said: "The grudges between the Demon Sect and the Righteous Way have actually existed since thousands of years ago."
"According to what the elders in our clan said: The Demon Sect monks seem to have always wanted to summon the projection of a certain existence in the human world, and they would even do whatever it takes to do so."
"For some unknown reason, the Demon Sect monks refer to that being as 'that Lord' and never call him by his name."
"And it's not just the Demon Sect."
"For some reason, the righteous monks have always called that being 'that lord' but dare not call him by his name."
"But what is different from the Demon Sect is that the righteous monks are extremely afraid of 'that Lord' and have joined forces to try every means possible to stop all the Demon Sect's actions."
Zuoqiu Jing'er finally added: "It is said that a long time ago, monks in the world of immortality did not distinguish between good and evil."
"It is precisely because of the existence of 'that Lord' in the world of immortality that the monks have just been divided into two factions, good and evil, and they are constantly fighting to summon and prevent the projection of 'that Lord'."
