Li Shiming was physically and mentally exhausted, and it was rare for him to fall asleep early.
While he was sleeping, he was awakened by the siren of IBMz15. He looked at the time and saw that it was almost midnight in ten seconds.
Fortunately, IBMz15 does not require any preparation time to play the Great Compassion Mantra. During the song of the Great Compassion Mantra, the soul's struggle and roar came from the bronze corpse in the body bag.
Midnight is when the yin energy is at its strongest, and the bronze corpse is in its most excited state at this time.
Through the blood contract, Li Shiming felt the bronze corpse's desire to break free, and constantly impacted the weak master's spirit with the negative emotions in his soul.
The whole process didn't last long. After a stick of incense, the bronze corpse returned to a quiet state.
Listening to the 'Great Compassion Mantra' for one stick of incense did not affect Li Shiming's sleep, but instead improved his sleep quality.
He slept until the next morning and felt in good physical condition after getting up.
The handyman disciple brought him spiritual food. After using the spiritual food, he came to the first floor.
Li Shiming sorted out a few more questions and prepared to ask Zhu Ji for advice.
He calculated it. Based on Zhu Ji's time in Qingqiu Pavilion every day and the total of ten newcomers here, he could ask up to three questions every day.
But when he reached the first floor, he was dumbfounded.
Because I don’t know when a group of teenagers appeared on the first floor, and they seemed to be at least a hundred.
Li Shiming didn't quite understand. It wasn't that the spiritual root seedlings in the mortal area of Tianhai Sect held an immortal assembly every five years. He and the other nine teenagers should be the last surviving spiritual root seedlings in the past five years.
Looking at the scene in front of me, where did this over 100-year-old boy come from?
"Senior Brother Zhu Ji, are these newcomers too?" Li Shiming saw that there was no one around Zhu Ji, so he walked over and asked.
"These are children with spiritual roots in the sect's sea area. They are also recruited every five years. Different from the ordinary people, the mortals living here are also the descendants of monks. The chance of spiritual roots appearing is very high.
However, the children with good spiritual roots have long been picked out, and most of the remaining children have four or five spiritual roots.
The three months of the newcomer period is a screening and their last hope. If they show enough potential within three months, they will become formal disciples, while the rest will become handyman disciples. "When Zhu Ji saw it was Li Shiming, he explained without hiding anything.
Li Shiming understood that this was actually a benefit. No matter what his spiritual roots were, as long as he was born in the sect's sea area, he could at least enter the sect and become a handyman disciple.
As for why the ordinary five spiritual root seedlings are not included, just look at the number of spiritual root seedlings in front of you. The spiritual root seedlings in the sea area alone are enough for the sect's handyman disciples.
"I hope there won't be any newcomers among you who reach the first level of Qi Refining slower than them!" Zhu Ji shook his head and said.
Even if the spiritual roots of this new batch of Li Shiming are the Four Spiritual Roots, they are among the better among the Four Spiritual Roots and have met the requirements of Tianhai Sect.
If their cultivation is not as good as these newcomers with poor spiritual roots, then it can only be said that there is something wrong with their cultivation attitude.
Li Shiming took advantage of Zhu Ji's free time to ask his questions about cultivation, and Zhu Ji patiently answered them one by one.
Days passed day by day, and on the fourth day after entering Qingqiu Pavilion, Jin Fengzhi was the first to condense the spiritual energy vortex and reach the first level of Qi refining.
In the following days, a group of newcomers like them made breakthroughs one after another.
Li Shiming had doubts about his talent again. Different from the previous doubts, this time he doubted whether his talent was very good.
Because even Jin Fengzhi, who was the first among this batch of newcomers to form a spiritual energy vortex, took four days. Even excluding the time of choosing a technique on the first day, it still took three days to form a spiritual energy vortex.
Looking back and thinking about Li Shiming, his cultivation conditions at that time were far inferior to those here.
The spiritual energy gathered by the Spirit Gathering Plate in the mortal world was vastly different from the concentration of spiritual energy in Qingqiu Pavilion. But even under such circumstances, he still condensed the spiritual energy vortex directly for the first time.
He didn't mention to anyone the time when he condensed the spiritual energy vortex, there was no need for it.
Among their group of newcomers, there are two remaining newcomers who have been unable to form a spiritual energy vortex.
It was not until nearly thirty days later that some of the newcomers were promoted to the first level of Qi Refining. After that, new people continued to be promoted to the first level of Qi Refining.
It can be seen that spiritual roots have a great impact on cultivation.
Among Li Shiming's batch of newcomers, except for those two newcomers, most of the rest were promoted to the first level of Qi Refining within fifteen days.
The new batch of newcomers whose spiritual roots were inferior started to advance to the first level of Qi Refining a month later, and the gap began to appear at this time.
Li Shiming ignored others. He asked Zhu Ji for advice every morning, practiced the 'Five Elements Qi Receiving Technique' and the 'Vajra Body Protection Magic Technique', and spent the rest of his time using the 'Finishing the Finishing Technique' to refine the Fiery Flame Sword and the Green Kite Wooden Sword.
The Fierce Flame Sword is for temporary use. When his strength reaches the fourth level of Qi Refining, he will be barely qualified to use the Blue Kite Wooden Sword.
The copper corpse's resistance and struggle every day was not a bad thing for him.
During the confrontation with the Bronze Corpse, his spirit improved significantly.
Even at the end of his rookie period, he no longer needed the help of the 'Great Compassion Curse' and could deal with the resistance of the Bronze Corpse alone.
Of course, due to his inferior realm, Bronze Corpse's resistance to the blood contract continues, which requires him to raise his realm to the fourth level of Qi Refining to solve it.
In three months, in a rich spiritual energy environment, although his general realm has not improved, he has improved to the mid-to-late stage of the third level of Qi Refining. I believe it will not take long to reach the late stage of the third level of Qi Refining.
The progress of refining the Fiery Flame Sword has already reached its full value, but the Green Kite Wooden Sword is only halfway through the process, and it will take at least three months to completely refine it.
On the last day of the rookie period, Zhu Ji stood in front, with teenagers standing below.
Li Shiming, Jin Fengzhi and other eight first batch newcomers stood at the front, while the other two newcomers from the same batch stood at the back of the crowd, standing together with more than 80 people who had not reached the first level of Qi Refining.
Li Shiming knew that it was not that the two people had different talents, and the spiritual root test would not go wrong, but that there was something wrong with their psychology.
The sect only provided a certain cultivation environment, but did not help them solve their psychological problems.
This makes them obviously have good cultivation talents, but they cannot even reach the first level of Qi refining in the best cultivation environment.
In addition, he also saw the cruelty of the world of cultivating immortals. Among the second batch of more than 100 spiritual root seedlings, more than 80 of them had not reached the first level of Qi refining in three months.
No wonder the sect has no idea about the spiritual root seedlings with poor mortal talents. Spiritual roots are really too important.
