Wangling Island occupies a vast area and can be seen endlessly. It is more than a hundred times larger than the small island where Feng Qianqian lives.
Feihaizhou was delayed at sea for several days, with fog and reefs slowing down its speed, but luckily it arrived a week before the conference.
As I approached the plaque, I saw someone registering the identities of people coming and going at the entrance.
Feng Qianqian and Rong Xiaoling were both mortals. The man carved their names and hometowns on the wooden plaques and gave them to them.
"With this card, you can move around the island, including staying in stores and doing transactions. If you lose it, you have to come here to replace it, one spiritual stone at a time."
She just said, the expenses on the big island are big! But she will keep it safe and not lose it.
The two of them took their own unique wooden identification tags and walked into the island. They saw the sign next to them saying 'Ten rules to follow when entering Wangling Island'.
According to Rong Xiaoling, because Wangling Island is guarded by Nascent Soul monks.
Since there were countless mortal monks coming and going for business, this rule was set up in order to maintain order.
I saw a sign saying that fighting was not allowed on the island, and monks were not allowed to attack mortals.
In addition, there are people patrolling the island constantly, so for ordinary people, there is no need to worry about encountering the threat of robbery by monks.
Feng Qianqian only thinks that this rule is very friendly to ordinary people, but if she still wants to become a monk, the most important thing is to be able to protect herself.
"Qianqian, while the Spiritual Root Conference will start in a week, let's go shopping nearby first."
Rong Xiaoling's face was filled with smiles. The bustling market was surrounded by people and the dazzling array of things overwhelmed both of them.
It happened that the two of them were close in age, so they could talk about going together, so they invited each other to go together on the flying boat.
Feng Qianqian felt that everything was so novel, so she readily agreed.
The two of them were walking outside a prosperous shop and asked curiously, "Jade Pill Pavilion? What kind of business does it do?"
"Jade Pill Pavilion? A store under the influence of the Alchemy Cauldron Sect. It sells some pills used by monks to restore spiritual energy and heal injuries. However, the price is a bit expensive if we buy it useless. For example, an ordinary spirit-rejuvenating pill is just I want two spirit stones."
"So expensive!" Feng Qianqian smacked her tongue, then wouldn't it be difficult to make ends meet while practicing in the future?
"Actually, it's not bad. Monks have their own ways of making money, such as collecting elixirs, refining elixirs and refining weapons, or hunting sea beasts with advanced cultivation levels. They can earn a lot of spiritual stones. The higher the cultivation level, , the more good things are produced, the price will naturally increase exponentially.”
Feng Qianqian thought to herself that she would also find a monk's craft that could earn a lot of spiritual stones in the future.
Feng Qianqian walked around. When I saw a store plaque that read 'Bai Xiaosheng', I couldn't help but ask, "Does Bai Xiaosheng know everything, including some unknown things?"
Rong Xiaoling replied, "That's not the case. Bai Xiaosheng sells information. If you want to know some common sense in the world of cultivation, you can go there and buy bamboo slips. The price is not expensive. If you want to know some secrets in the world of cultivation, , it will cost a lot of spiritual stones, and there are also restrictions on people’s cultivation."
Feng Qianqian's eyes lit up, she knew the knowledge in the world of cultivation, this was exactly what she needed.
As for the secrets, she wasn't interested yet.
Recently, there have been many ordinary people like Feng Qianqian who can't find their way and are attending the conference for the first time.
So the shopkeeper found the one reserved for mortals with ease and handed it to her.
Because mortals have no spiritual energy, they use ordinary bamboo slips to record, which is very convenient to check.
"Summary of Common Sense in Duize Realm", two spiritual stones, Feng Qianqian plans to study it carefully when she has time.
The two of them asked the shopkeeper about the location of the Spiritual Root Conference. Since it was well known to everyone on Wangling Island, the shopkeeper smiled and told them.
It took the two of them half a day to finally visit Wangling Island.
Feng Qianqian suggested, "Let's go, let's find a place to eat and stay. There are more and more people on the island. If it's later, we may have to sleep on the streets."
After searching for a long time and asking around, they found an inn in the southwest of the island and each requested an ordinary guest room.
A piece of spirit stone for one night meant that he would have to stay for at least seven days. Feng Qianqian could only give the spirit stone to her heartbrokenly and put away the wooden signs.
The inn is not big, with a lobby in the front and a courtyard in the back. Their guest rooms are also in the backyard.
Afterwards, the two of them went to the lobby and ordered two meals, one meat and one vegetarian, which they thought tasted good.
The two of them were talking and laughing while eating, imagining the days after joining the sect, with excitement in their eyes.
At this time, the inn has a large flow of people and there are many people sitting and eating, so it is easy to hear the voices of people talking around.
"Fellow Daoist Liu, the Spiritual Root Conference once every ten years is about to start again. It's really lively."
The speaker was wearing a blue robe, and there was spiritual food and some spiritual wine on the table.
Fellow? He was a monk, and it seemed that some news would be revealed. The two people who knew the importance of the news pricked up their ears in perfect agreement.
"Yes, Fellow Daoist He, but these are none of our business. You know, the sect does not accept monks who have already entered the path. It is said that the body has not been cultivated and can only be cultivated after the transformation of the sect's exercises. Faster. Otherwise, the body that has been running spiritual energy according to its accustomed meridians is no longer suitable for the sect's exercises."
"Huh? This wasn't said before, so why has this rule been established in the past few decades?"
"I heard that the Zhenyuan Sect was the first to say this. After that, other sects were very surprised. But the Zhenyuan Sect is the only one, so other sects followed suit."
"Zhen Yuan Sect, what I wanted to join the most before was Zhen Yuan. I alone guarded thousands of demon cultivators in the west, so that those demon cultivators did not dare to enter other realms to harass. Being able to enter this sect is really a blessing to everyone. What a dream.”
"Yes, how many heroes have died in the Western Demonic Realm in the past ten thousand years, and among them there are many outstanding people who have the opportunity to advance to the upper world. Although there are support from other sects, the Zhenyuan guarding the front line is still the most admirable. of..."
Speaking of it, the two of them seemed to have seen the scene of the fierce battle, and they sighed.
"But in my opinion, if it really affects your cultivation, it's worth losing your cultivation in order to join the sect."
"It's easy for you to say that. If you were to dispel the cultivation base, it would be a matter of narrow escape. Besides, even if there is no such rule, at our age, the sect will no longer accept... "
Then the two of them sighed again... At this time, they felt that they were drunk and confused.
"Brother He is right, but Zhen Yuan has become more and more strange recently. I heard..."
Before the monk surnamed Liu could finish speaking, the passers-by who were listening to the conversation between Rong Xiaoling and Feng Qianqian burst into dissatisfaction.
"What are you talking about, fellow Taoist? If it weren't for the Zhenyuan Sect alone guarding your lives in the Demon Realm, how would you have the life to sit here and talk? If you dare to say anything wrong about the Zhenyuan Sect, be careful with me. fist!"
The lobby was instantly filled with a tense atmosphere, and the shopkeeper was worried that the two monks would start to fight.
Rong Xiaoling and Feng Qianqian looked at each other in surprise. This man was really a fanatical follower of the Zhenyuan Sect. He interrupted the person before he could finish what he said.
Feng Qianqian wanted to hear what the monk surnamed Liu had to say, but she was afraid there was no hope.
Fellow Taoist surnamed Liu saw that there were so many people on the other side, so he could only avoid confronting the other party, and said with a smile.
"Fellow Taoist, fellow Taoist, didn't you listen to what I said before? Guarding the Demonic Realm is such a majestic thing. How could I say that the Zhenyuan Sect is not the right one? It was a slip of the tongue on my part. It was a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."
Seeing that fellow Taoist surnamed Liu apologized for what he said, the passerby didn't feel too embarrassed. He threw off his collar and snorted heavily.
"You know what I'm talking about, but what I said before is fair and just. We can't speak out of conscience. I can't bear to see Zhen Yuan being slandered by others, and we just want to fight against the injustice. Fellow Taoist, please don't take it to heart."
Feng Qianqian felt that this man was quite polite, so everyone took a step back, and laughter and laughter resumed in the lobby.
Feng Qianqian confirmed her thoughts and said, "Xiaoling, I have decided, I want to go to Zhenyuan Sect."
"Qianqian, are you also shocked by the deeds of Zhenyuan? When I heard my cousin talk about it for the first time, I was shocked too! This is good, we can all enter Zhenyuan together!"
After confirming these things, the two started talking again.
...
When she returned to her room, Feng Qianqian began to look through the bamboo slips she bought today.
Thinking that I am here to participate in the spiritual root conference, first of all, spiritual roots must be the most important, so I need to understand this part carefully first.
Quickly follow the catalog to find the detailed explanation of spiritual roots.
Then I saw the record on the bamboo slips: spiritual root, something a monk must have to enter the path. Without spiritual root, there is no monk.
Looking down, I saw that it said that spiritual roots are divided into five attributes: wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. There are also other spiritual roots with mutated attributes, such as thunder spiritual roots and ice spiritual roots. There is no one with these two types. .
It also said that the fewer spiritual roots, the faster the cultivation speed. This is the same as what Uncle Li said.
The Four Spiritual Roots and Five Spiritual Roots, referred to as Miscellaneous Spiritual Roots, are not suitable for entering the path of spiritual practice, and it is recommended to switch to other ways of practice.
There are records from seniors that if the Four Spiritual Roots or the Five Spiritual Roots have to enter the path, they can only cultivate to the foundation building stage at most. Because the speed is slow, the body will die due to the end of life and the Tao will disappear before it has time to advance.
Feng Qianqian couldn't help but sigh, hoping that Old Man Feng would bless him and ensure that he was not a miscellaneous spiritual root.
Then he looked down again and saw notes written underneath.
In fact, the four spiritual roots and the five spiritual roots are not completely devoid of cultivation methods. For example, demon monks do not rely on spiritual roots for cultivation, but only rely on demonic energy.
Or there are some monks who seize other people's spiritual roots to increase the purity of their own spiritual roots and speed up their practice. However, such monks will also be classified as evil cultivators, which are even more despised than demonic cultivators.
Feng Qianqian felt that even if she could not practice, she would not turn into a demonic or evil cultivator.
Unexpectedly, her idea would only seem ridiculous and childish to her future self, and at that time, she was already in a different place.
