For Ah Jian's current situation, of course, it is best to test his innate ability first and then make other plans.

However, Uncle Zhang told him that only the temple could test innate ability, and it was only arranged in the annual student ability test, and now he couldn't do anything.

Since this innate ability can't be tested, of course, the cultivation method is not a good choice, Uncle Zhang suggested that he should not choose the exercises and upgrade the spirit core first, but might as well dredge and expand the meridians first.

This is a safe practice, and the Holy Book says: sharpening the knife is not wrong for the woodcutter, which means that if the preparation work is done sufficiently, the work can be done with half the effort.

The spiritual core is equivalent to a reservoir, and the meridians are equivalent to a river, and the irrigation of crops in the reservoir is ultimately achieved through the river, so it is important to expand the reservoir, and it is also necessary to dredge and expand the river, otherwise the water in the reservoir will not be able to irrigate the crops at most, but will flood the farms on both sides of the river.

As soon as he said this, Ah Jian understood.

"So how can we unblock and expand the meridians?"

"When the river is clogged and narrowed, it will naturally be dredged and widened when it is washed with water frequently. The meridians are the same, they have to be washed with spiritual power often, and they often practice qi every day to dredge and expand. ”

"Spiritual power washing?

"Yes, the meridians in the human body form a cycle, and the spiritual power comes out of the spiritual core, runs along the meridians of the whole body, and then returns to the spiritual core, which is called a Zhou Tian Xingqi. As long as you use your mind to control your spiritual power and continue to carry out Zhou Tian Xingqi, the blockages in the meridians will naturally be unblocked and expanded. ”

"Then how do you control your spiritual power with your mind?"

"The so-called mind is to think, where you think about the spiritual power, it will be there, and if you think along a certain route, the spiritual power will also run along this route! Remember, this idea should be done slowly, starting with the spiritual core, and then thinking about it node by node along the red line route, once the spiritual power is exhausted, stop, and come again next time, you must not be reluctant, let alone impetuous, so high-minded, otherwise one accidentally goes along, it will be dangerous!"

Saying that, Uncle Zhang took a copy of the human body meridian map and handed it to Ah Jian, and instructed him to be cautious and not to be in a hurry or anything.

After going back, Ah Jian passed Uncle Zhang's words to the old demon, and the old demon also understood it deeply. It clearly remembers that in its previous life, there was an ancient practice called qigong, and it also paid attention to the method of "realizing qi and acting at will", which is similar to this, and it must also be cautious when cultivating, so as not to go mad.

In the following period of time, Ah Jian followed the method taught by Uncle Zhang to dredge and expand the meridians. Whenever the spiritual power in the spiritual core was saturated, he would come to Zhou Tian Xingqi, consume the spiritual power, and then meditate to absorb the spiritual energy, and so on and so on, and it was really effective.

At the beginning, the mind control spiritual power did not run smoothly in the meridians, and only one or two nodes could be passed every day, and every time it hit a node, there was obvious pain. After half a month, the speed has accelerated significantly, and four or five nodes can be passed every day, and the flow of air is getting smoother and smoother.

A month later, Xiao Zhoutian's fifty-two nodes were completely connected, and when he used his mind to guide his spiritual power to run on the meridians, there seemed to be a hot current surging in it, and his whole body felt hot and very comfortable.

Moreover, as he continued to practice the Qi of Zhou Tian every day, he felt that the speed at which the Spirit Core absorbed the Spiritual Qi was getting faster and faster. When he first started doing Zhou Tian Xingqi, it would take him about two days to recover to a saturated state after consuming his spiritual power, but now it only takes a few hours to do this.

Time flies quickly, winter goes to spring in a blink of an eye, another three months have passed, and there is still a month to go before the big test.

In the past few months, they have just experienced the cold of the winter on Alpha Planet, there is only a small sun in the sky, and the outdoor temperature is often below minus 30 degrees, which can freeze people's snot. However, compared to previous years, they don't feel that this winter is much colder.

Speaking of the big test, not only Ah Jian passed all the enlightenment courses, but Shi and Ah Hong, Jingzi, and Qiangzi also passed smoothly. In this way, next month's big test, except for Xiaolan, who is too young to participate, several other people can participate.

Stone and several of his younger siblings are still unenlightened, but with that special set of meditation methods, they are all on the verge of breaking through. Especially the stone, two months ago, was able to perceive the spirit core, and it is estimated that the enlightenment will only be in the next few days.

The old demon's experiment almost completely stopped, because there was no money. The original more than 60,000 gold coins left behind were squandered by it to only a few hundred gold coins, and if they continued to melt, it would be a problem for them to even eat.

These tens of thousands of gold coins have been converted, but it has allowed the old demon to thoroughly understand the spiritual power running route of low-level demonic beasts. It even boasted to Ah Jian that as long as he gave him a Flame Bird's magic core, it could simulate the Flame Bird's fireball technique.

It is obviously impossible to give only the magic core and nothing else to stimulate magic. However, Ah Jian had heard that the enchanter used a special potion to accurately draw the spiritual power running route on the skin of the demonic beast, and then stimulate the magic power in the magic core, which can really release magic.

This kind of magical beast skin inlaid with magic cores and drawing the route of spiritual power is called magic scrolls, and it is sold in magic shops. The price is very expensive, I heard that the magic scroll of the flame bird costs a thousand gold coins, which is much more expensive than a live flame bird. And if it is made into a magic scroll of an intermediate Warcraft, it will be even more expensive, ranging from tens of thousands of gold coins to hundreds of thousands of gold coins.

In addition to this kind of demonic beast skin enchanted, there is also a kind of enchantment enchanted on metal. The principle is very similar to that of a magic scroll, that is, on a weapon or vessel made of metal, use a special potion to draw the spiritual power running route, and then inlay the corresponding magic core.

The price of enchanted weapons is more expensive, at least more than hundreds of thousands of gold coins, ordinary people can't afford to use it at all, but its power is hundreds of times stronger than when it is not enchanted, and it is deeply loved by nobles and rich people, and it is not easy to sell at all.

When Ah Jian thought of this, a golden light seemed to flicker in front of him. The family's money is about to run out, and he is dreaming about how to make money these days.

As soon as the test was over, he went to ask how to become an enchanter?

Let's say that time is like a comb, the calendar has turned to February 2016, and the annual test in Black Rock City is finally about to begin.

According to statistics, 3,108 school-age children have passed the initiation course in Black Rock City this year, a slight increase from last year. According to the ratio of cultivators to professional students jointly determined by the Divine Temple and the City Lord's Mansion to 1:1, the number of students who can choose to cultivate this year is 1,554, which is also a slight increase from last year.

The list of cultivators will be selected according to the sum of the candidates' natural ability, cultivation level, and faith loyalty, and the requirements are completely transparent and sunny.

As in previous years, the total score of the three tests is 300 points, and the full score for each subject is 100 points, with 90 points or more for excellent, 80 points or more for good, 60 points or more for passing, and 60 points or less for failing.

Among them, the innate ability is directly tested with a crystal ball, and the cultivation level test is divided into two items: the spiritual power value test and the actual combat skills, the former is tested by the spirit crystal, and the latter is determined by the actual combat test.

As for the test of faith loyalty, the content of the test is whether the students are loyal to the belief in the ancestral gods and whether they have mastered all the details of the rituals.

I heard that students with low loyalty to the faith will be rejected by one vote, which makes Ah Jian and them very worried. However, according to Uncle Zhang's eldest son Zhang Bao, most of this content is in the "Holy Scriptures", "General History" and "Rituals", and it is not difficult to answer, but when asking about personal beliefs, we should pay attention to a correct attitude, politeness and respect, and then don't say what should not be said, just do it.

The temple has announced the exam schedule for this year, which will test innate ability starting at 8 a.m. on February 7, cultivation level at 1 p.m., and faith loyalty in batches on February 8 morning and afternoon.

The first two tests are basically objective and fair, and there is no possibility of black box operation. Only the third test was more subjective, and according to previous test results, the average score of noble students in faith loyalty was much higher than that of commoner students, which once caused a lot of doubts among commoners. However, the temple dismissed the doubts of the commoners by arguing that the nobles themselves possessed the blood of the gods and that it was normal for them to be more loyal to their faith.

However, for civilian students who are good at the first two tests, the score on the third test is usually not too bad. Therefore, such a big test does ensure the selection of outstanding talents, and it does provide a channel for the children of poor families to rise to a higher level.

The clock seems to be pulling faster and faster, and tomorrow it's going to be a big test!

On the night of February 6, 9102 in the Divine Calendar, when the bell of the temple rang in the afterglow of the setting sun, the noisy cries of the streets and alleys quietly disappeared, and the sound of silk and bamboo in the Yiqing Square all night also stopped abruptly, and even the loud shouts of the drivers on the road turned into the stiff beating of leather whips, and the dolls with immature faces in the quiet rooms of each family had been meditating there for a long time......
