9.

An hour later, under the leadership of Ye Lin, Cheng Li completed the admission procedures of the Qingling Academy, and came to a very secluded valley, which was divided into areas, and there were groups of people in each area, who were meditating and cultivating cross-legged.

"This is the place where the Qingling Academy arranges for cultivators to induce spiritual energy for the first time, called Jingsi Valley. ”

After the cultivator awakens the spiritual root, he can begin to absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, incorporate it into his own body, and transform the spiritual energy into spiritual power and store it in the dantian, this process is cultivation.

Cheng Li saw so many people gathering together to cultivate, and from time to time someone explained, he couldn't help asking: "That, shouldn't cultivation be cultivated alone? ”

"Of course, an experienced cultivator can cultivate alone, but if it is a cultivator who has just awakened the spiritual root, in the case of lack of experience, the efficiency of cultivating alone is too low. Ye Lin replied, "In the classical cultivation era 10,000 years ago, at that time, Shenzhou was vast and rich, and everyone was used to going alone, so after the cultivators awakened the spiritual root, most of them also explored by themselves, at most they carried out personal cultivation under the guidance of the master. ”

"However, in this era of silos, all of us are confined to these silos, and it is natural to learn to concentrate our efforts. Therefore, after thousands of years of exploration, we at Qingling Island have adopted more advanced teaching methods to help cultivators cultivate more efficiently in order to cope with this cruel environment. ”

"Therefore, Qingling Island pays more attention to collective strength, rather than going alone. Therefore, the cultivation of each cultivator is accompanied by the process of collective learning, rather than crawling and rolling by himself, and the cultivation efficiency is naturally much higher than that of the classical cultivation era. ”

"Therefore, in the Qi refining period and foundation building period of Qingling Island, we will teach in the Qingling Academy, and we will not graduate from the Qingling Academy until we become a Jindan Stage cultivator. ”

Ye Lin said as she took Cheng Li to a divided area in the Ghost Valley.

"Oh, this is the best class in the seedling level-Class A! Your Senior Sister Ye Lin and I, but it took a lot of effort to help you insert it. This Class A is all seedlings with good talents, at least they are all Xuan-level spiritual root awakeners, and even have ground-level spiritual roots...... Well, I forgot, you are a heaven-level spiritual root, and it is only natural for you to enter Class A.

"Get along with the new classmates, if you have any questions, you can come to you at any time, Senior Sister Xiaolin!"

After Ye Lin finished speaking, she explained Cheng Li's situation to the teacher who was in class in Class Ding, and then waved her hand to Cheng Li and left.

"Senior Sister Xiao Lin, as a monk in the foundation building period, is still very busy. ”

Thinking like this, Cheng Li began to carefully look at the unique classroom in front of him.

This so-called classroom is a separate area separated by spiritual trees on the flat ground of the valley. There is no roof, and the people in the classroom sit cross-legged on the ground, with the sky as the roof.

Cheng Li knew through his understanding in the past few days that this is a kind of life and cultivation attitude advocated by the people of Qingling Island, that is, the Tao is natural, and everything is natural.

Because of the admiration of nature, the people of Qingling Island like to be as close to nature as possible, so even the classroom is so unique.

Cheng Li was thinking about it, and out of the classroom came a bad old man who was not good-looking, his teeth looked like they were about to fall out, and his hair was only a few sparse tufts of white hair, and he was still trembling when he walked.

He also had a wine gourd pinned to his waist, and he was full of alcohol, and he looked like a drunkard.

This bad old man seems to be the teachings of the Miao Ding class.

The bad old man picked up the wine gourd and took a sip of wine, then glanced at Cheng Li with cloudy eyes, then turned around and walked back.

"Come in, why are you still stupid. ”

Hearing the bad old man say this, Cheng Li hurriedly followed and walked into this classroom.

After walking into the classroom, Cheng Li found that there were more than a dozen figures sitting cross-legged on the ground.

These dozen or so people seem to be students in the first class of the seedling level, they are old and young, the oldest seems to be about 14 years old, and the youngest looks to be only seven years old.

"It seems that the grade arrangement here really has nothing to do with age. Cheng Li thought to himself.

The Miao level is the lowest grade that all cultivators take when they first awaken their spiritual roots, because the age of spiritual root awakening of cultivators is not fixed, so the ages of the people in each class are also very different.

Until the age of 16, everyone has the opportunity to participate in the Spiritualization Ceremony once a year.

So generally speaking, the higher the talent, the earlier the age of awakening the spiritual root. Most people are concentrated in the spiritual root awakened at the age of 9-12, and those who are over 12 years old belong to people with very average talents. And someone like Cheng Li who awakened at the age of more than 16 is unique.

"Okay, everyone, pay attention, this is your new classmate, called Cheng Li. The old man said weakly.

Everyone below opened their eyes at once, and said in surprise: "Cheng Li, that foreign person?"

"Not only is it a foreigner, I just heard that he has awakened the Heavenly Spirit Root. ”

"Tianlinggen?" A three-no little Lori, originally expressionless, but when she heard Tianlinggen, her eyes looked at Cheng Li with a strange brilliance, looked at her carefully, and then became expressionless again.

Then a dozen other people around him started talking about it.

"Heavenly Spirit Root, it's impossible, we haven't had a Heavenly Spirit Root cultivator on Qingling Island for a hundred years. ”

"What I said is true, this is what one of my fellow Daoists told me at the Initiation Ceremony. ”

The bad old man coughed lightly at this time: "Okay, this is not a big deal, you guys don't make a noise." ”

After speaking, the bad old man pointed to an empty area below and said to Cheng Li: "You can sit there first." ”

Cheng Li walked over and saw that there was a futon on the ground, so he sat down directly.

At this time, he found himself sitting not far from the three-no little Lori, and after walking into this classroom, he saw this three-no little Lori at first sight. It's not because he's Lolita, it's that this little Lori is too outstanding in this group of people, and the cold feeling of being thousands of miles away is more difficult to keep people from noticing her.

At this time, the bad old man continued to say to Cheng Li: "I am your teaching, you can call me old." ”

"Considered old?" Cheng Li pondered this strange name, and secretly wrote it down in his heart.

"Except for you, they are all students who have awakened the spiritual root for a while, and they have already completed the process of refining qi and transforming into shape. ”

After speaking, the old man said to the other 6 students: "Since there is a new student enrolled, according to the usual practice, I will teach him the method of cultivation alone. Although you have learned to refine qi and transform form, you can also listen to it again, the avenue is profound, and it is not too much to revisit it a few times. ”

The dozen or so students below should be in unison.

So the bad old man began to explain the method of getting started with cultivation from the beginning.
