Chapter 8: The Spiritual Test
"The lower spiritual aperture is the foundation of cultivation, and the cultivator absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into his own spiritual power and stores it in the lower spiritual aperture. Cultivation is strong, and the strength of spiritual power is determined by the spiritual aperture, which leads to the spirit and the Tao to the sky. ”
This is the book "Refining Tips" that He Ku read, but this book was considered by the head of the family He Xiong to be full of fallacies, and he was worried that He Ku, who was still young and young at the time, would suffer from this poison, so he took this book and destroyed it.
Therefore, all I remember is the opening sentence.
At this time, He pain's mind fell into the lower spiritual aperture, but he was frightened. With just a stroke of his pen, the lower spiritual aperture began to show signs of decay, and there were many corroded wounds on the inner wall of the entire spiritual aperture, which looked very terrifying.
For cultivators who have broken through the mortal realm, they have already broken through the mortal body, whether it is the skin or the various organs in the body, they have been strengthened and tough.
In particular, the meridians and the lower spiritual apertures are the foundation of cultivation, and why bother has experienced the baptism of nirvana, and the spiritual apertures under the meridians are far beyond ordinary people, and now there are such abnormal changes.
With his mind settled, why bother trying to use his spiritual power to nourish the lower spiritual body that was already full of trauma.
The moment the spiritual power touched the spiritual wall, a heart-piercing pain came from the abdomen, why bother gritting his teeth and enduring the pain, but the beads of sweat that couldn't be stopped were dripping down.
To make matters worse, the rotten spirit did not get better, but the wound deepened. The spiritual power was originally born in the lower spiritual aperture, which fits its own nature, but now the spiritual power cannot repair the lower spiritual aperture or even make it worse, so why bother has to worry about whether his lower spiritual aperture will be irreparably damaged because of this.
How can you be in such a situation for no reason?
Thinking back to the bits and pieces I had just experienced, the strange fragrance in the ink couldn't help but arouse his doubts. At that time, I only cared about answering questions with a pen, and I didn't care about the smell of ink. At this time, in retrospect, it is really a little weird.
The threatening heat that flowed through the meridians in the first round of selection, and the second round of selection was hit hard by this, so why not think that someone wanted to get rid of him.
Why endure the severe pain, and want to carefully check what is wrong with this ink. With the knowledge of what pain, if someone poisons the ink ingot, there are traces of grinding it into ink.
You can pick up the inkstone and smell it carefully, there is indeed a strange fragrance, but this is just a mixture of a variety of ink blocks, and there is no existence that can become a poison, and naturally it will not be the cause of the decay of the spiritual aperture of He Pain.
I picked up the brush again and examined it, but it was a little soft, and I didn't find anything abnormal.
He couldn't help gritting his teeth in pain and pondering, what was doing to him, why he had suffered such a poisonous hand before he had touched anyone's interests.
The heat of the first round of selection and the Bitter Road Forbidden Book helped him resolve it, but this round of the trauma suffered by the Lower Spiritual Aperture, the Bitter Road Forbidden Book seemed to be powerless, and there was nothing he could do to alleviate the situation of the Lower Spiritual Aperture.
The second round of selection has come to an end at this moment, and the beings present are different, some are extremely annoyed, some are helpless, and a few are ecstatic, and they seem to have good results.
Waiting for the moment before the results are announced is always difficult, and it is even more difficult at this time, although he tries to keep his complexion flat, but the beads of sweat that can not be stopped show that his situation is not good at this time.
"The results of the second round of selection have been released! A total of three hundred and nine people will enter the next round, and the rest will be eliminated!" Ye Haiqiong announced, "Next, read out the list of those who will enter the next round." ”
The waiter held the book in his hand and read it out: "Why bother, Xie Yuchen, Wen Lesheng...... A total of 309 people with mediocre qualifications and 123 people with excellent qualifications advanced to the next round. ”
The results of this round of assessment did not have any surprises, why did the scholar live up to his reputation and won the first place in the second round of selection, but he only obtained the qualification to enter the next round.
As for the rest of the people, those whose names were read breathed a sigh of relief, while those who regretted being eliminated were annoyed and bitter.
And why bother at this time, it is to close your eyes and breathe to reduce your pain as much as possible.
Ye Haiqiong continued to preside over the selection: "The third round of selection, spiritual power test! This round of testing will determine the top 100, and it will also determine which of you can go to the imperial capital to participate in the imperial capital selection in three years. ”
As soon as the rules came out, everyone present cheered up, after all, the results of this round of assessment will also determine who can really win from this provincial selection and get the ticket to the imperial capital for the imperial selection.
"The assessment method is very simple, test the strength of spiritual power, and the top 100 will enter the final ranking competition. ”
Everyone present was in an uproar, because according to the practice of previous sessions, spiritual power would not be a factor that would determine success or failure, but rather the level of cultivation that would be more important. This year's selection is a different way, with the strength of spiritual power as the key assessment criterion.
As we all know, spiritual power is the absorption of spiritual energy into the lower spiritual aperture, and the higher the cultivation, the more powerful the lower spiritual aperture, so the spiritual power generated by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is naturally stronger.
But this is not the case, if you only care about the pursuit of cultivation, the foundation is not stable, and the spiritual power will be relatively vain, and you will fall into the disadvantage in the comparison of the same realm.
Although the strength of spiritual power can be judged by the level of strength, if the cultivation is a realm higher, even if it is only a small realm, the improvement of strength is large enough, so few people can fight beyond the level without falling behind.
The most decisive round of this provincial selection was to use the spiritual strength assessment instead of the cultivation assessment, which caused everyone to be surprised.
Why don't you feel that the state at this time can be described as even worse, there are already several wounds in the lower spiritual aperture that have begun to rupture, and the spiritual power has leaked, and the entire body is in chaos.
At this time, if the spiritual power test is conducted, it is not a good thing for He Ku, due to the damage of the lower spiritual aperture, his spiritual power strength will definitely be greatly reduced, and whether he can pass this round of testing will become questionable.
Due to the abnormality of his body and the pressure of this round of selection, He Ku's face turned a little pale.
"What's the matter, Ku'er, is it uncomfortable?" seemed to notice He Ku's abnormality, He Mi'er had already come to He Ku's side and asked with concern, her eyebrows were full of worry.
He Ku had no time to speak at the moment, trying to control the changes in the lower spiritual aperture, so he had to shake his head gently.
At this time, the spiritual power test is in full swing, different from the qualification assessment, there is only one spiritual weapon used in the spiritual power test, and the results of the evaluation will be listed in a list in real time, displayed on the spiritual curtain under the city tower, and everyone present can directly see the ranking of the spiritual power test.
The spiritual curtain is a kind of spiritual artifact that can display all the content you want. The spiritual curtain used in this round of selection is wide enough so that everyone present can see the results clearly.
Although it is convenient to adopt such a method, it is very cruel, especially when you rely on the latter, watching your ranking fall to a hundred, and your hope of going to the imperial capital is dashed little by little.
After the spiritual power test of many people, the one who has now reached the top is the eldest young master of the Ming family, although he always looks like a fool and cynical, but his strength is a genuine Mortal Realm Ninth Order, far surpassing everyone present.
And the next one to step forward to test was the little witch Wen Sheng, although her cultivation was not enough to break through the ninth order of the mortal realm, no one dared to underestimate her spiritual strength, after all, the Wen family's heritage was by no means trivial.
The little witch still had the look of no fear of heaven and earth, and confidently came to the test spirit weapon, and pushed her palms with both hands to release her spiritual power and impact on the test spirit weapon. After five breaths, he gathered his spiritual power and waited for the ranking results.
It is not in vain that the little witch can become one of the four masters of the Ten Thousand Heavens, although she is only the eighth order of the Mortal Realm, but her spiritual power cultivation has reached the third position, and even surpassed several Mortal Realm Ninth Order, which shows that her spiritual power strength is extremely strong.
After more than half of the test, it was finally the turn of why bother to carry out this round of assessment.
At this time, He Ku was already sweating profusely, and the condition of the lower spiritual aperture was getting worse and worse, and even a step of walking seemed to involve the upper wound. There have been several more ruptured wounds, and the leakage of spiritual power has become more serious.
Why endure the severe pain, the seal of his hands released the spiritual power, and the spiritual power gushed out along the meridians along the hands under the urging, but the situation of leaking spiritual power from the lower spiritual aperture was also even worse due to the urging.
The leaked spiritual power passed through the crack of the lower spiritual aperture, raging in He Ku's body, stirring up all the internal organs. He was already in unbearable pain, but in such a situation, sweat like beanbeads dripped down his cheeks, and he had already soaked through his clothes, so he had to grit his teeth to support it.
Although it only needs to release five breaths of spiritual power, these five breaths are long enough for He Ku, and every moment He Ku's body is frantically destroyed by his own spiritual power.
The five breaths had passed, and He Ku, who had recovered his spiritual power, was already embarrassed, and he couldn't stop panting because of the pain.
And everyone outside the arena is still looking forward to whether he can sweep away the previous haze and surpass Wen Sheng or even tomorrow in terms of spiritual strength.
The audience waited with bated breath for the change of the spirit curtain, and after a refresh, they did not see the ranking at the top of the list.
After some searching, I saw the name of He Ku in the middle of the list.
"What's the trouble, fifty-second!"
......
