The old man stepped forward to look at it carefully, and then said:

"These beast cores are in good condition, but the realm of the demon beasts they belong to is low, so the old man will pay a price.

Each first-order beast core is exchanged for ten low-rank spirit stones, and each second-order beast core is exchanged for ten medium-grade spirit stones.

Even in Zhongshengzhou, there is not much difference from this purchase price, and it is guaranteed that the son will not suffer a loss, how about it? ”

"According to what the steward said, but I came to Derong City to enter the Xiuzhen sect, I don't know if steward Chen can tell me which major sects are recruiting disciples? I can't thank you enough. ”

"Hehe, Childe, you have to pay to inquire about information in Qingfeng Pavilion, but the information you inquire about is not very confidential, so I will give it to you for free this time." The old man laughed.

"Then thank you in advance." Jin Ziming bowed and saluted.

"There are only three third-level sects at the highest in Derong City, there are two in total, namely the Longqing Sect and the Dao Xu Sect, and in addition, there are two fourth-level sects.

Among the third-level sects, the Daosu Sect recruited disciples last month, and it has now ended.

In the near future, the Longqing Sect will recruit disciples from the outer sects, and monks in the late stage of Qi refining or the Great Perfection can go and give it a try.

As for when the fourth-level sect will recruit disciples, I don't know very well.

Later, I asked Hongling to give Gongzi a local map of cultivation, which marked the locations of all the third- and fourth-level sects in Derong City. ”

"Thank you so much, I need that information." Jin Ziming said happily.

After he completed the transaction, he went to buy a booklet, which introduced a lot of cultivation knowledge in the Hongqing world.

Jin Ziming has always been very distressed, what realm he is in now, and he is also black-eyed in the cultivation realm, and he is in urgent need of these common sense.

Bidding farewell to the old man and Hongling, and returning to the inn, he hurriedly opened the booklet, wanting to completely solve the many doubts in his heart, and only after he finished reading it in one breath did he understand an overview of the cultivation world.

There are six continents in Hongqingjie, and humans occupy five of them, which are Dongwu, Xijin, Nanfeng, Beikui and Zhongshengzhou according to their orientation.

The various spiritual stone deposits in the Terran territory are extremely rich, laying a solid foundation for the birth of many sects and top masters.

There are quite a few mortal realms within the five continents, but they all depend on different cultivation sects to survive.

Continue to the west from Xijinzhou into the vast forest, and after going deeper, it is the Honghuang Continent inhabited by demon beasts.

Although the Beast Race is slightly inferior to the Terran in terms of mid-to-high-level combat power, it is significantly superior to the latter in terms of the number of low-end demon beasts.

The common prosperity of the human and animal races has promoted the Hongqing Realm to become a higher realm of the Chaoyang River system.

The realm of cultivation of monks is divided into: Qi refining, foundation building, Jindan, Yuanying, Integration, Mahayana and transcendence, a total of seven realms.

Each great realm is divided into four sub-realms, which are the early stage, the middle stage, the late stage, and the Great Perfection.

Seeing this, Jin Ziming lamented in his heart, the mastermind behind the killing of Lao Jin is said to be the old monster, and it seems that he still needs to endure it for a long time before he can take revenge.

As I continued to read, I understood that the ultimate state of each small realm was called "peak".

For example, the peak level of the middle stage of Jindan means that the monk has reached the peak of the middle stage of Jindan and is about to break through to the late stage of Jindan.

There are also identification criteria for each realm in the book, Jin Ziming compared, if he didn't consider the dense mesh pipes in his body, he was indeed in the late stage of qi refining, and he was close to the peak level.

He couldn't help but think, "What kind of cultivation is Fairy Ye?" It looks like it's still relatively high. ”

He didn't know that people were more than two realms higher than him, and between the two was tantamount to a chasm.

The next step is to introduce the realm of the divine soul, which is also divided into seven layers, and the Qi refining period requires at least the blessing of the Yuan Shen one, and you can close your eyes to detect things five zhang away;

During the foundation building period, the double blessing of the Yuan Shen is required, and it can be detected at least 50 zhang;

In the Jindan period, three primordial spirits are needed, and a five-mile range must be detected;

By analogy, the transcendence realm requires the blessing of the sevenfold primordial gods.

He checked the criteria and confirmed that he was already in the realm of the early stage of the Yuan Shen Dual.

As for the Xiuzhen sect, it is divided into five grades, which is a tower-shaped structure.

Seven super factions, all located in Zhongshengzhou;

On the five continents, there are 16 first-level sects, 37 second-level sects, more than 100 third-level sects, and more than 600 fourth-level sects.

In addition to the super sects, each sect has its own superior sect, and in addition to the fourth-level sects, each sect also has a number of subordinate sects.

Theoretically, the fourth-level sect is dominated by the Jindan monk at the highest level, the third-level has the Yuanying Zhenren, the second-level has the combined power, and the first-level has the Mahayana True Monarch.

In addition to having more True Monarchs, there are also transcendent demi-immortals who have been in retreat or traveled abroad all year round, and their strength is extremely terrifying.

Although it is rare for monks to be promoted from the lower sect to the higher sect, it is quite common.

For example, an outstanding disciple is selected by the upper sect, or the monk realm breaks through the highest level of the lower sect, and takes the initiative to apply upward.

The book also describes the criteria for recruiting disciples at all levels.

The standard for recruiting outer disciples of the third-level sect is the Qi refining period, and the threshold for the inner disciples is the foundation building period;

The thresholds of the outer door and the inner door of the second level are respectively the foundation building period and the Jindan period, and so on.

The super faction does not have an outer sect, only accepts inner disciples, mainly through the selection of descendants of the sect, the elders go out to discover excellent seedlings, or the lower-level sects recommend geniuses, etc., one in a million, and the best of the best.

Jin Ziming fell into deep thought, he was only a Qi refining period cultivator, obviously he had no chance of being a second-level sect, now he had to try to set the starting point as high as possible, since he had no chance with the Dao Su Sect, he had to strive to join the Longqing Sect.

Fairy Ye's Xiaoyao Dao Academy ranked second among the first-level sects, second only to the Starlight Sect.

And the writing position of the Longqing faction in the third-level sect is written in the bottom few bits, and I don't know if the strength is really the last stream.

Jin Ziming felt bitter in his heart, "This distance is really far away!" ”

However, he was not discouraged, naively thinking that with his own efforts, he could work hard step by step to the first level, and even a super sect, and catch up with the pace of Fairy Ye.

In the early morning of the next day, he took out a low-priced spirit stone, held it in his hand and meditated and cultivated, and when his internal qi and divine thoughts entered the spirit stone, he immediately felt a strong spiritual energy overflowing.

As soon as his mind moved, he used the Lao Gong acupoint to inhale it into his body, and then merged into the dantian.

Carefully tasting its concentration and quality, it was far higher than that of ordinary external aura, and after dozens of breaths, he completely refined it, leaving only a small amount of powder in his palm.

Jin Ziming felt that the internal qi in the dantian had only increased slightly, and he couldn't help but sigh, although the spirit stone was good, it was too useless.

Jin Ziming walked out of the inn and went straight to the Long Qing faction.

This sect is located next to a large lake in the southeastern suburbs, with beautiful lake scenery, large lotus flowers floating on the water, and some large colored fish chasing happily in the water.

A road by the lake, shaded by willow trees, leads directly to the gate of the Longqing faction, and the rich aura floats from the lake, which makes people feel refreshed and happy.

Jin Ziming followed the flow of people and slowly came to the gate of the Longqing faction, and found that the buildings here were mainly white and gray, with occasional red and green embellishments, more like a academy.

On a white wall on the side, there was a notice written in aura, which was the enrollment notice of the outer disciples.

Jin Ziming squeezed forward, and saw that the recruitment conditions of the Longqing faction were within twenty years old, above the late stage of qi refining, and the formal assessment time was still twenty-three days away.

He joined the long queue to sign up, and an hour later, it was his turn.

The person in charge of registration tested his age with a magic weapon, and after confirming that he had met the standard, he recorded his name and handed him a candidate token.

After registering for the name, there was nothing to do, Jin Ziming decided to fulfill the contract to meet Zeng Ze, and came to his relative's house according to the address left by the other party.

After receiving the report from the porter, Zeng Ze trotted out all the way, grabbed Jin Ziming's hand, and said excitedly:

"Brother Jin, you're finally here, I'm really afraid that you won't come to me."

"Hehe, if you have promised, how will you break the appointment." Jin Ziming said with a smile.

Zeng Ze pulled him into his small courtyard and asked the servants to make tea.

"Zeng Ze, I also signed up in the Longqing faction." Jin Ziming said with a smile.

"Ah, Brother Jin, that's great! Just call me Ozawa, don't see outside. ”

"Okay, Ozawa. I don't know anything about the Longqing Sect, can you tell me about it? ”

"Hey, Brother Jin, don't be surprised, I'm a bit rough.

Since my second uncle said that everything was arranged, as long as he didn't do too badly, he would definitely be admitted, so I didn't ask too much, and to be honest, I didn't quite understand the situation there. ”

"Oh, it doesn't matter, if you get in, you will know it after you go." Jin Ziming said helplessly.

"Brother Jin, don't worry, my second uncle said that the assessment in previous years was not difficult, and this time it is estimated to be about the same."

After lunch here, the two sides agreed to go to the exam together in 23 days.

Jin Ziming returned to the inn room and began to rethink his cultivation.

He remembered that he was attacked by the demon ape and the cat demon before leaving the forest, and the reason why he couldn't find them in advance was because the spirit couldn't pass through the obstacles, and now he could try to solve it.

Without the cultivation of the exercises, for ordinary monks, it is all about not talking; But for Jin Ziming, finding a way in the middle of the law is commonplace.

If this problem can be solved, wouldn't it be equivalent to finding a way to cultivate the divine soul?

He thought about it for a long time, and suddenly it occurred to him that in order to absorb the spiritual energy from the outside, he tore open the seal on the outside of the acupoint.

So, when the soul encounters an obstacle, can you use your mind to tear a hole in it and let the soul get in?

Jin Ziming sat cross-legged on the bed and began to test the next door, using his mind to make a small hole in the wooden wall, and released a wisp of spirit from there into the next room.
