Early the next morning.

Chu Nan and his entourage of five people set off to the location of Beiling City responsible for recruiting disciples.

Trumen recruits disciples in three cities every other year, except for Dongling City, which is relatively easy in recruitment, and Beiling City and Nanling City are more demanding.

Because of the three cities of Chumen, all the people living in Dongling City are from the Chu clan, so naturally they don't need so many requirements, while Beiling City and Nanling City are mixed, and it is easy for undercover agents of the other two doors to appear, so you must be cautious when recruiting.

By noon, the entire square of Beiling City was already crowded with people.

"There are so many people in it, I don't know how many undercover agents. ”

Chu Nan knew that Zhou Men alone had sent a lot of undercover agents this time, and the five of them were just a small team among many undercover agents, and there were more undercover agents lurking in the crowd, and not only Zhou Men, Fang Men had also sent a lot of undercover agents.

"Quiet!"

Three men in blue robes appeared in the square, and as soon as they spoke, the entire square immediately became silent.

The blue-robed old man led by him had an indifferent face, glanced at everyone, and said indifferently. "This time, I Truman recruited disciples, the rules are different from the past, this time we only recruit three disciples. And the rules ......"

Call!

The blue-robed old man waved his hand.

A tall rock giant appeared in front of the old man out of thin air, this is a rock giant with a gray body, five meters high, and an amazing momentum on its body.

"Stone Spirit Puppet!"

The crowd exclaimed.

Chu Nan also looked at the huge stone spirit puppet in front of him.

"It turns out that the stone spirit puppet looks like this. ”

It was the first time Chu Nan had seen the stone spirit puppet, but he didn't expect that there would be such a big difference between the stone spirit puppet and his own stone spirit life.

"The rules this time are very simple, you collectively operate the aura, I will choose, and those who are selected by me can become my Truman disciples. The blue-robed old man said indifferently.

After hearing this, everyone's faces changed.

This time, Truman's recruitment method was completely different from the past, in the past, it was to recruit a hundred disciples, and it was through the competition for spirit crystals as a rule.

This time, only three disciples were recruited, and it was still selected by the blue-robed old man himself, it was obvious that Trumen also knew that the birth of Shi Ling's life would make Zhou Men and Fang Men send a large number of undercover agents to come, and this time they would naturally not be as casual as before in recruiting disciples.

After the blue-robed old man finished announcing the rules, the huge stone spirit puppet stretched out his huge hand, and when the blue-robed old man stood up, his arm was raised high, and the blue-robed old man stood in the stone spirit puppet's hand, and he could overlook everything below from a high place.

"Now, you're all working on my Reiki. ”

The blue-robed old man said loudly.

Even if everyone was dissatisfied with this recruitment, they could only helplessly operate the aura, and at the same time prayed in their hearts that they could choose themselves, Chu Nan also began to operate after sensing the aura in his body.

The blue-robed old man's gaze swept in all directions, sweeping over everyone.

"You. ”

"You. ”

Raising hands in two different directions, two people were selected.

"If I hadn't been chosen, how would I get into Truman?"

Chu Nan's brows furrowed, and he felt worried in his heart.

Now there is only one place left, and no one knows what kind of criteria this blue-robed old man is using to select, but he can only guess that it is related to their operation of aura.

Call!

The blue-robed old man's gaze swept in the direction of Chu Nan, and he quickly made a decision.

"The last one, just the fat man. ”

The sound resounded throughout the square.

"I wasn't chosen!"

Chu Nan's face sank.

In this way, there is no way for him to enter Truman, and there is no way to carry out the undercover mission.

"The next discipleship is a year later, do I have to wait a year? If there are only three next year, my chances of being selected are too small. ”

Chu Nan didn't expect that his undercover mission would be in trouble at the beginning, if he couldn't enter Truman, he wouldn't have had the opportunity to contact those undercover agents in Truman.

At this time, the two people who were selected came to the side of the stone spirit puppet, and one person did not move for a long time.

"Fatty, don't come yet. ”

The blue-robed old man frowned slightly and urged.

But the other party ignored him at all.

When the blue-robed old man found that he was being ignored, he immediately became angry.

"Fatty, if you don't come again, get the fuck off me!"

Chu Nan's eyes couldn't help but light up.

"This fat man seems to be a bit stupid, there may still be a chance!"

However, Chu Nan found that the people around him were looking at him, and their eyes were very strange.

"What's the situation?" Chu Nan was stunned.

I saw that the undercover agents who came with me kept frowning at me, and I looked very anxious.

Chu Nan was even more puzzled, looked around, and found that there were no fat people in front of him.

"You can't be talking about me, are you?"

Chu Nan muttered in his heart, tried to point at himself cautiously, and asked weakly.

"You...... Are you talking to me?"

......

Chu Ling Mountain, located at the southern end of Donggong Beizhou, as the mountain gate of Chu Gate, only by becoming a disciple of Chu Men can you be qualified to step into Chu Ling Mountain.

At this time, outside Chu Ling Mountain, a tall stone spirit puppet was running at high speed, Chu Nan and two teenagers were sitting on the shoulders of the stone spirit puppet, and the surrounding scenery was constantly flying in front of their eyes.

"This stone spirit puppet is so fast, it stands to reason that I am a stone spirit life, and I should be more powerful than the stone spirit puppet. But how do I feel that I am not as good as this stone spirit puppet. Chu Nan was a little depressed, and secretly glanced at the blue-robed old man standing on the head of the stone spirit puppet.

The blue-robed old man has always had a cold face, especially to Chu Nan, who has never given a good face along the way.

"You can't blame me, although I became fat in the previous life, I am still not used to being called that......" Chu Nan felt very aggrieved, and now his body shape and appearance have changed, and he has changed back to the body shape of Fu Shuang in the previous life, and the whole person is like a ball.

Chu Nan felt that he was really fated with fat people in his life.

Even if you get here, you'll become fat.

The stone spirit puppet was very fast, and it didn't take long to reach the foot of Chu Ling Mountain.

"This is Chu Lingshan?"

Chu Nan looked up at the high mountain in front of him.

Although he lived in Chu Ling Mountain before, because he had been with Elder Taishang, he had not seen Chu Ling Mountain up close, and now it was the first time to see this mountain up close, for some reason, Chu Nan actually had an indescribable and unclear feeling about this Chu Ling Mountain, and faintly felt that there seemed to be some kind of connection between himself and this mountain, but there were some obstacles in the middle, so that he could not sense this connection, a very strange feeling.

Not long after, the stone spirit puppet entered Chu Ling Mountain, and came directly to the 'Beiling Hall'.

There are three halls in Chumen - Dongling Hall, South Tomb Hall, and North Tomb Hall, which correspond to three cities, and the three people of Chu Nan are disciples recruited from Beiling City, so they naturally enter Beiling Hall.

"Among the three halls, the probability of having an undercover agent in Dongling Hall is the smallest, because all the people living in Dongling City are people from the Chu clan, and it is difficult for undercover agents to infiltrate Tanglin Hall. There is a greater chance of the North Mausoleum Hall and the South Mausoleum Hall, and the undercover agents of the Zhou Gate and the Square Gate are all lurking in the North Mausoleum Hall and the South Mausoleum Hall. Chu Nan's thinking is very clear, since he has entered the North Mausoleum Hall, then he will start with this North Mausoleum Hall.

There are three halls of Chumen, each of which has its own area, and after the stone spirit puppet came to the Beiling Hall, many disciples of the Beiling Hall came to pay their respects.

In Beiling Hall, the highest status is naturally the master of Beiling Hall, followed by the deacon, and then the disciple. The blue-robed old man who was in charge of recruiting disciples in Beiling City this time was one of the deacons of Beiling Hall, and he had a lot of power in Beiling Hall.

At that moment, the old man in the blue robe made a simple arrangement.

"Xu Han, these two boys are with you. Huge sea, this fat man with you. ”

After explaining, the blue-robed old man glared at Chu Nan fiercely before leaving.

"Senior brother, is your deacon Luo?" The disciple named Huge Hai was also a fat man, and when he saw that Chu Nan and himself were "the same kind", he immediately felt very cordial.

"Hey, it's all because I'm fat. Chu Nan shook his head and smiled bitterly, and at the same time looked at the same kind of person in front of him with a rather unique name.

"Don't worry, Deacon Luo, this person is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, not so stingy, otherwise he wouldn't let you get started. Let's go, I'll take you to the Gathering Spirit Pavilion first. Panghai said with a smile, perhaps because everyone is fat, Panghai is extremely enthusiastic about Chu Nan, and he has been explaining to Chu Nan all the rules and affairs in the Beiling Hall along the way.

There are two kinds of disciples in Truman: elite disciples and ordinary disciples.

Elite disciples are in charge of ordinary disciples, but they can only be in charge of ordinary disciples under their respective commands, and usually the number of ordinary disciples under the command of these elite disciples represents their prestige and strength in the door.

Huge Hai is an elite disciple, but there is only an ordinary disciple like Chu Nan under his command, and he is still designated by Deacon Luo, he is the worst category among the many elite disciples.

The two chatted while walking, and soon arrived at the Gathering Spirit Pavilion.

"Gathering Pavilion!"

The moment Chu Nan saw the Gathering Spirit Pavilion, a lot of information appeared in his mind.

At the beginning, after Chu Nan devoured all the spirit cultivation stone rubble, he had a sense of familiarity with many things in Trumen, as long as he saw it, the corresponding information would appear in his mind, and now when he saw the Gathering Spirit Pavilion, he immediately had information about the Gathering Spirit Pavilion in his mind.

The Gathering Spirit Pavilion is a special attic that condenses the spirit.

After learning these information, Chu Nan was shocked to find that the way of cultivating spirits here was completely different from the previous life!

The first step of spiritual cultivation, although the same as in the previous life, is to control the aura, absorb the aura, and accumulate the aura, this stage is called the reiki period.

And when the aura in the body is continuously absorbed and accumulated to a complete level, the original spirit can be condensed, so as to enter the next stage - the spiritual transformation period!

From here on, it was completely different from the previous life.

In Chu Nan's heart, an idea gradually emerged.

"Could it be here...... It's the earth of ancient times!"

Chu Nan knew very well that he had absorbed a lot of things from the ancient era, and everything here now made Chu Nan can't help but guess that he is most likely the earth of the ancient era!

Over here......

The spiritual period is considered ...... The beginning of spiritual cultivation in the true sense of the word.

Spiritual cultivation here refers to the cultivation of the 'original spirit'.

The original spirit is born by the condensation of the aura in the body, and the original spirit, just like the second life, after condensation, exists in the sea of knowledge, and through cultivation, it continues to grow, and the stronger the original spirit, the ...... The stronger the strength!

The Gathering Spirit Pavilion is an attic that can help every disciple who has completed the spiritual period to condense the original spirit, as long as the original spirit is condensed in the Gathering Spirit Pavilion, the probability of failure can be reduced to a certain extent.

Condensing the spirit is a big deal, once there is an accident that leads to the failure of the spirit condensation, it means that you will not be able to cultivate the spirit from now on, and you will become a wasted person from now on!

The first and most important thing for every disciple who worships Truman is to condense the original spirit! If you can't condense the original spirit, you can't practice puppet spirit magic, and if Truman, as a puppet master sect, can't even know the most basic puppet spirit refining technique, then how can you stay in Truman?

"It turns out that I have already reached the consummation of the Reiki stage. ”

Chu Nan's heart suddenly changed.

As a stone spirit life, he was born with the consummation of the aura period, and he did not need to absorb and accumulate aura like ordinary people. Now he only needs to condense his original spirit and he can officially begin...... Spiritual Cultivation!

"I wonder what my spirit will look like, will it be different from ordinary people?"

Chu Nan rubbed his hands expectantly.

"The junior brother seems to be very excited. The huge sea on the side smiled, and his face became serious. "But I want to remind you that you must be serious when condensing the original spirit, and you can't be careless, although there are few failures in the Gathering Spirit Pavilion, but it is not impossible. Once it fails, it will be a waste in the future, and the sect is here...... It is not going to accommodate the waste people who cannot cultivate the spirit. ”

"Don't worry, isn't it just a gathering of spirits, a trivial matter. Chu Nan's fat head was held high, and he patted the fat on his chest with confidence.

"Senior Brother......" Huge Hai frowned slightly, feeling that Chu Nan was a little hasty here, and wanted to continue to persuade, but Chu Nan couldn't wait to run into the Gathering Spirit Pavilion with a smoke.

"This junior brother is too child's play...... "Da Da Hai's brows furrowed even deeper.

Usually everyone is extremely careful when condensing their original spirits.

After all, once it fails, the consequences are really unbearable, and it is the first time that Huge Sea has seen people condense their souls so hastily, and it seems that they don't take it seriously at all.

"Hopefully he will succeed. "It is not easy to have an ordinary disciple under the command of the huge sea, and he is still 'the same kind' as himself, so he naturally doesn't want Chu Nan to fail.

......

After Chu Nan entered the Gathering Spirit Pavilion, he saw at a glance that there were many rooms in the attic, and each room was similarly arranged.

In the room, Chu Nan couldn't hear any sounds, these rooms were extremely special rooms, and all sounds from the outside were isolated, so that there would be no interference when condensing the original spirit.

In the room, from left to right, there are three small stone tablets, each of which records a method of condensing the spirit, three stone tablets, three different methods.

"These three methods can condense the original spirit, but the difficulty is different, the left is the most difficult, the right is the easiest, let you choose, I, as a person, like to challenge the difficulty, choose the most difficult!"

After Chu Nan looked at it carefully, he found that these three methods test his own control of the aura, if the control is high, you can choose the difficult method, and if the control is low, choose the easy one.

Chu Nan thought that he was far superior to ordinary people in the control of aura, so he directly chose the most difficult method, and then began to condense the spirit according to this most difficult method.

"Isn't it? This is also called the most difficult? This level of aura control can't be compared to when I cultivated the Desolate Tooth, it's simply too easy. Chu Nan was soon disappointed, originally he thought that this would be a difficult aura control, but it turned out to be extremely easy, and the condensation was completed in just half a burnt of incense.

"Oh no!

Chu Nan was surprised to find that after he completed the condensation, the original spirit did not appear.

"What's going on? I obviously condensed according to the above method, and there were no mistakes on the way, how could there be no original spirit?" Chu Nan was puzzled, and simply tried to condense again, but the result was still the same, there was no mistake in the condensation process, but the final result was that there was no original spirit after condensation.

"No! There is a problem with this condensation method!" Chu Nan can be sure that it is not his own problem, but a problem with the condensation method. Immediately, he looked at the second condensation method and tried to condense according to the second method, but when he finished condensing with the second condensation method, the result was ...... It's still the same! There's still no Spirit!

"Play with me!" Chu Nan got angry and looked at the easiest third method.

"There's a problem with all three of your methods!"

Chu Nan opened his red eyes and stared at this third simplest condensation method, and he completed the condensation almost instantly, but ...... Still no spirit appeared.

"There was a problem with the whole room!"

Chu Nan jumped up from the ground in anger and gritted his teeth. "I'm going to change rooms!"

Chu Nan came directly to another room in a huff, and as soon as he came in, he looked at the stone tablet in the room, and at a glance, he found that this place was exactly the same as the room just now!

Not only the stele is the same, but the content on the stele is exactly the same!

"There's something wrong with this room too!"

Chu Nan unwillingly began to shuttle back and forth between the rooms, and it was not until he saw the same stone tablet in more than ten rooms in a row that he realized that something might be wrong with him.

"It's weird! This, is this my problem? Shouldn't it!" Chu Nan scratched his hair, but still couldn't find the reason.

"This kind of failure of mine is very strange, and it is different from ordinary failures. Generally, after the condensation of the original spirit fails, the aura in the body will be disordered and collapsed, and it will not be possible to condense it a second time, but I have carried out so many condensations here, and every time it fails, the aura in the body has not been disordered and collapsed, and it can continue to condense again. What is wrong with this?" Chu Nan thought hard, and suddenly his heart moved.

"Could it be a problem with the sea?"

Chu Nan knew that after the condensation of the original spirit was successful, it existed in the sea of knowledge, and if there was a problem in the sea of knowledge, it would also cause the spirit to be unable to condense.

"Take a look at the sea of knowledge. ”

Chu Nan closed his eyes, concentrated, and his mind quickly entered the sea of knowledge.

This is the first time Chu Nan has entered his own sea of knowledge, this feeling is very amazing, and Chu Nan was soon shocked to find that there is a tiny ...... in his sea of knowledge Stone Man!

This little stone figure is exactly the same as Chu Nan's appearance, and it is completely the shrunken him.

"This ...... Isn't this my spirit!"

Chu Nan instantly found the reason.

"Original...... It turns out that I had the original spirit as early as when I was born, and it turns out that as soon as I was born, I was already in the ...... Spirituality!"

"It's no wonder that when I was cultivating the Desolate Fang, I felt that the aura in my body could be improved. If the aura period is complete, the aura in the body has reached its own extreme, and if you don't condense the original spirit, you can't continue to improve, and you won't have this feeling that you can still improve. ”

"It turns out that I have already entered the spirit transformation stage!"

Chu Nan observed the spirit in the sea of knowledge in surprise.

This is also the reason why he failed to condense the original spirit many times just now, any living being, can only exist one original spirit, it is impossible to exist two original spirits, even if it is a special life like Chu Nan, it is impossible to exist two original spirits.

"Huh, that's not right!" As he observed, Chu Nan found a problem again.

Although he already had a spirit in the sea, he found that his spirit was not in a normal state, but in a state of sleep.

"The spirit is asleep, so from the time I was born to the present, I can't sense the spirit and use the power of the spirit?" Chu Nan frowned slightly.

It's a bit tricky.

Although he has the original spirit, but the original spirit is asleep, and now he doesn't know how to wake up the original spirit, if he is thought to have failed to condense his original spirit, he will probably be expelled from Chu Ling Mountain. And if you truthfully say that the spirit is asleep, you will reveal your identity, after all, it is impossible for ordinary people to have the spirit asleep.

"I still know too little about the Spirit, and if I knew more about the Spirit, I might be able to think of a solution. Chu Nan silently withdrew from Zhihai, and his consciousness returned to his body.

"Let's see if there is any explanation of the spirit in this Spirit Gathering Pavilion. ”

Chu Nan looked around, found a drawing in the corner of the room, opened it and looked at it, and it happened to be an introduction to the spirit.

"Really!"

Chu Nan's eyes lit up.

In fact, there are drawings explaining the spirit in every room of the Spirit Gathering Pavilion, but over the years, most people have a deep enough understanding of the spirit during the aura period, so no one has looked at these drawings.

Chu Nan looked at it very carefully-

The original spirit is formed by the condensation of the aura in the body and exists in the sea of knowledge.

The spirit is very special, and after it is condensed and born, it is not only the source of power for living beings, but also the ...... of living beings The life gate, this so-called life gate, mainly refers to...... Life span!

Usually, when the spirit is born, it already has a lifespan of 100 years, and after cultivating the spirit of the spirit, the lifespan will increase with the strength of the spirit spirit.

For example, in the period of incarnation, the cultivation of the spirit is mainly to 'open the pulse', under normal circumstances, all cultivators can open up the five veins, each time the pulse is opened, not only the strength of the spirit will be greatly improved, but at the same time, the lifespan will also increase by ten years!

In other words, when the five veins of the original spirit are opened, the lifespan can increase to ...... One hundred and fifty years, and at the same time, the five veins are opened together, and the impact of the next stage of spiritual cultivation, the "Spirit Array Period", can begin.

In the land of Xuanling, not counting the aura period, there are four major stages of spiritual cultivation - spirit transformation, spirit array, spirit transformation, and spirit realm.

The stronger the spirit, the ...... The longer the lifespan.

During the incarnation period, the spirit usually only dies under two circumstances.

One is that the life span has reached the end of life.

Another ...... Starve!

The spirit is very special, no matter whose spirit it is, it will be hungry and have to eat, especially the spirit in the spirit transformation period, which can only be fed through spiritual food, and with the strength of the spirit, the amount of food of the spirit will continue to increase, and some of the more special and powerful spirits often eat amazingly.

"It turns out that spiritual food is used to feed the original spirit!"

Chu Nan suddenly realized.
