There were three people who entered the inner gate directly, Lu Nazhi, Shen Huaixi and Xie Jingshan, who was competing with her. They received the token under the envious eyes of everyone, and were sent to the thirty-six peaks of Tianyan Sect's inner gate by a dedicated sword.
Then there are the ninety-eight outer disciples, and the rest are all servants.
Inner disciples can worship at the Thirty-six Peaks of Tianyan Sect. They will have abundant spiritual energy and receive guidance from True Lord Nascent Soul. They will also have the opportunity to become the True Lord's direct successor, which is a supreme honor.
There are also 20 low-grade spiritual stones and a bottle of elixir provided every month. In the first three years, there is no compulsion to complete sect tasks and the focus is on cultivation.
The outer disciples are inferior. They live in the Eighty-one Valley under the Thirty-six Peaks. There are five people in one courtyard. There is a spirit gathering array in the courtyard. They receive five low-grade spiritual stones and three pills every month. They are not forced to complete the sect in the first year. door task.
The treatment of handymen is very different. Only when you first start, you can receive five low-grade spiritual stones and three pills.
In the first month, you will focus on drawing Qi into your body without receiving tasks. After that, you will be assigned to work in various places in Tianyan Sect. You must also complete a sect task every month.
If you cannot bring Qi into your body in the first month, you will be expelled from the sect.
Fortunately, sect tasks will reward contribution points, which can be exchanged for materials such as spiritual stones and elixirs.
When working everywhere, I meet generous elders who will give me some gifts, so even though the handyman is hard-working, I can continue to practice hard.
When you reach the seventh level of Qi training, you can enter the outer sect through the year-end selection and then improve your status step by step.
Jiang Yuebai watched everyone step forward one by one and take away their respective tokens and training materials.
Lin Suiwan received the token from the outer disciple. Before leaving, he glared at her proudly and told her to wait and see.
Jiang Yuebai felt anxious, clenched his fists and told himself not to be afraid.
The stars are long and the moon is bright.
Everyone had left, and Jiang Yuebai was the only one left in the square, standing upright and defiant, staring at Hong Tao.
Hong Tao took a baggage from the person behind him. Jiang Yuebai's eyes suddenly lit up, and the corners of his mouth couldn't stop turning up.
Hong Tao sighed, picked up the baggage and said, "Come with me."
Hong Tao took Jiang Yuebai alone and walked down the path to the west of the square.
The night wind is cold and cool, and the grass waves are rolling, one big and one small, one behind the other.
Jiang Yuebai always stared at the burden that belonged to her but was not given to her by Hong Tao.
But she didn't dare to ask, for fear that Hong Tao would send her flying out of the fairy mountain with one palm, and all her efforts would be wiped out.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Hong Tao stopped at a fork in the road.
On one side, you can see the dark valley, crisscrossed by roads, and the wind blowing the rice fragrant at night.
On one side, you can see Xuanxiao Danque, the lights are dimming, and the fairy music is intoxicating.
Hong Tao picked up the bundle in his hand and looked down at the little Jiang Yuebai.
"Wen Xinlu, when you reach the 81st level, you are considered an outer sect disciple according to the sect's regulations, but you have also seen that the lowest level of the outer sect has three spiritual roots, and there are many seedlings from the immortal cultivating family among them. Before ascending to the immortal level, I hope you haven't forgotten the matter. Now you can choose for yourself, whether to join the outer sect or work as a handyman."
There was a hint of unwillingness in Jiang Yuebai's eyes, "Why can't the Five Spiritual Roots work? How am I worse than them?"
Hong Tao knelt down and looked at Jiang Yuebai, and said patiently, "This is common sense in the world of cultivation. Cultivation is to introduce spiritual energy into the body and store it, and polish the body bit by bit. You will understand this later, I will only talk about spiritual roots with you."
"Spiritual roots are like water tanks, and spiritual energy is water mist in the air. If there is no water tank, the water mist cannot be collected and stored. Therefore, you can only cultivate immortality with a water tank. This is the key to opening the door to immortality."
Jiang Yuebai's eyes were bright and he nodded vigorously, eagerly absorbing the knowledge of the world of cultivation.
"Lu Nanzhi is a natural spiritual body. Her water tank is not in her Dantian. Her entire body is the water tank. She can attract spiritual energy into any part of her body with a wave of her hand. Shen Huaixi and Xie Jingshan both have single spiritual roots. Their Dantian is There is a water tank.”
"The root value determines the affinity of spiritual energy. Xie Jingshan's root value is nine. In addition to his larger water tank, which can hold more spiritual energy mist, he can sense the existence of spiritual energy without using pills, and can easily incorporate spiritual energy into it." in vivo."
"Of course, Xie Jingshan, who has a root value of nine, will practice slower than Shen Huaixi, who has a root value of eight, because the water tank is large and it takes more time to fill it up. But in the future, whether it is his spell casting speed, spell endurance, or power, They will all be slightly stronger than Shen Huaixi, this is the importance of root value."
Jiang Yuebai blinked, "Then I have five water tanks. Even if the root value is not high, all the water combined is still more than one water tank."
Hong Tao's expression was slightly shocked. He didn't expect Jiang Yuebai to be so responsive at such a young age, and so smart that he found the key point.
"The five spiritual roots do have their advantages. The five elements are complete and all kinds of spells can be practiced. However, only when the water tank is full and overflows can the spiritual energy mist flow to all parts of the body."
"What's more, if the root value is below five, the spiritual energy will hardly be close to you. It will take more time and patience for you to gather five water tanks."
Jiang Yuebai's eyes darkened and he understood immediately.
Hong Tao nodded appreciatively, "Before forming the elixir, a person's lifespan was only seventy or eighty at most. Even if you take a low-level life-extending elixir, it would only be about a hundred. Others can start practicing by filling a water tank, but you have to do more." Take five times as long.”
"Others only need to understand one attribute to cast a golden elixir, and leave the mortal body to become a real person. But you have to integrate the changes in the five elements. Not to mention forming elixirs to extend your life, even the foundation building level is extremely difficult for you to pass. Outer Sect Resources There are many, but there are always more resources than those seeking immortality, and overt and covert competition has become the norm.”
"Then the spiritual roots can't be changed?" Jiang Yuebai asked.
Hong Tao sighed and said, "If it can be changed, then everyone in this world can ascend, so why should they practice immortality and defy heaven? However, the spiritual root cannot be changed, but the root value can be changed once."
"After you form the elixir, when you establish your Taoist heart and understand the way of heaven, the first incarnation of the Taoist Rhythm of Heaven and Earth will increase your root value. How much it improves depends on the will of heaven. It is only a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
In the final analysis, you still have to build the foundation first and then form the elixir before you have the chance to change your fate against the odds.
Before that, spiritual roots were one level, and root values were another level.
Jiang Yuebai clenched and unclenched his fists, looking at the fairy mountain pavilions in the distance, with uncontrollable envy and yearning in his eyes.
How she wanted to live in such a beautiful jade pavilion, have a pot of good wine, and be a free and unrestrained immortal.
But she knew that she couldn't go now because she was too weak to protect her things.
She is not afraid of competition from the outside world, nor is she afraid of Lin Suiwan, but she is afraid of Lin Suiwan’s ancestor, Lin Xiangtian!
But she won't always be afraid!
"I'm going to be a handyman."
Hearing Jiang Yuebai's firm voice, Hong Tao felt relieved, with some appreciation in his eyes, and handed the baggage in his hand to her.
"There are ten low-grade spiritual stones and six Qi-inducing pills here, which are twice as many as other handymen. This is your compensation. I will arrange a good place for you and find a kind person to guide you into the Tao."
"Qi-inducing pills can help you feel and attract spiritual energy. Six pills have a high chance of helping you break through to the first level of Qi training. As long as you are still willing to fight, you might be able to use the Five Spirits like Lu Xingyun, the founder of Tianyan Sect, in the future. With the resources of your roots, you can step onto the top of the Immortal Cloud.”
Jiang Yuebai's eyes brightened slightly, "So it turns out that five spiritual roots can also reach the top of the Immortal Cloud?"
Hong Tao stood up and said, "This is the only person who has appeared in the world of cultivation in a hundred thousand years."
"Then I'll be the second person!"
Hong Tao couldn't bear to break her beautiful vision. The ignorant are fearless. When she really started to practice, she knew how difficult it was.
It consumes five times more time and five times more resources, but does not live five times longer than others.
But the difficulty of cultivating immortality is more than five times that.
"Let's go, I'll take you to Huaxi Valley to find Mr. Tao. He started when he was 30 years old. He once served as a private tutor in the mortal world. He is the most loyal, kind and patient. Zhonglinggu is also a good player. You can learn three-thirds of his skills. , it won’t be a problem to support yourself and earn some spiritual stones for cultivation.”
"good!"
In Huaxi Valley, the night is quiet and the insects are chirping and the rice is fragrant.
In the small courtyard in the field, Tao Fengnian, who was seventy years old, sat cross-legged on the bed, lighting an oil lamp and counting the spiritual stones over and over again.
Three hundred and ninety-seven, no matter how many times I count, there won’t be one more.
He picked up the cigarette rod and started smoking, his back stooped and his face full of sadness.
"I have been cultivating the Four Spiritual Roots for thirty-nine years, and failed to build the foundation twice. I only have this little accumulation left. Now that the deadline is approaching, I can't even afford a ten-year life-extending pill. A coffin is more than enough, haha. ~"
Is the road to immortality difficult? The road to immortality is difficult!
Not in the water, not in the mountains, only between the pros and cons of immortal roots!
