Chapter 10: Join the Longqing Faction
For the first time, because there were too few divine souls injected, before the situation in the house could be detected, this wisp of divine soul was cut off and lost contact with the main body.
But as long as you can get in, it's a huge progress.
Jin Ziming was secretly happy in his heart, and began to strengthen the input of divine souls, breaking a larger opening in the wooden wall, sending in more divine souls, and sure enough, he detected the situation in the next room, and succeeded in "peeping" in one fell swoop.
Some of the obstacles were made of hard material, and he could only open a small hole, and then compress the spirit into a filament, pass through the hole, and probe.
In the process, he stumbled upon the discovery that if the soul filament was compressed to the extreme, and then cut it into a needle, it would actually be able to imitate the soul needle attack of the cat demon.
Once this needle is refined, it may become another killer weapon in addition to the knife technique.
Twenty-three days passed in a blink of an eye, and Jin Ziming was pleased to find that his spirit was indeed a lot stronger.
What's even more exciting is that he has refined a soul needle, although it is still very weak, and there is still a big gap between hurting people.
Once, when he couldn't hold it back, he sent a needle in the dark of night and attacked a wild cat outside the hospital, stabbing it straight away.
When a new day came, looking at the rising sun outside the window, he suddenly felt that the rooms and courtyards of this humble inn were so kind.
The sound of people getting up, the faint smoke of the cooking, made him feel happy.
Jin Ziming smiled, and after going out for breakfast, he came to Zeng Ze's relative's house.
The young man had been waiting at the door for a while, and when he saw him coming, he pulled him into the carriage with a smile and a smile, and galloped away together towards the ideal.
Soon they saw the ethereal lake in the distance, but the road was so congested that it was difficult for the carriage to move.
So he simply abandoned the car and walked, and the last short distance was actually squeezed to reach the gate of the Longqing faction.
The doorkeeper checked the candidates' tokens, took them back, and the older brother took them in.
All the candidates gathered in a huge square, and Jin Ziming roughly estimated that there were about 1,000 people, divided into more than 20 small squares, which was very spectacular.
After waiting for another half an hour, when the number of the square team reached thirty, a majestic whistle sounded, which immediately stopped the candidates, and the square immediately fell silent.
I saw three elders leading a group of disciples of the Longqing Sect to the high platform, and a tall black-robed old man in the center said loudly:
"Ladies and gentlemen, the old man is Zhang Jianfeng, the elder of the outer sect of the Longqing faction, welcome everyone to come to the Longqing faction to participate in the assessment of the outer disciples.
A total of 1,632 people participated in this time, and because it was at a time when our sect was developing rapidly, it was in urgent need of replenishing fresh blood from all the leaders in the Qi refining period.
Therefore, the sect decided to make an exception to increase the number of admissions and recruit a total of 800 outer disciples. ”
As soon as these words came out, the audience applauded, and the admission rate was close to fifty percent, which was definitely the easiest time to be admitted to the Longqing faction for so many years.
Elder Zhang's sonorous voice continued to sound:
"This assessment, according to tradition, is still divided into three parts, which are the test of strength, divine soul and understanding.
The strength requires that it can lift a stone lock of two hundred catties, and the divine soul requires that it can reach a detection distance of ten zhang.
As for comprehension, it is to give a broken sword style on the spot, please complete this move as much as possible according to your own understanding, and then write it down and submit it.
The whole square is divided into six examination rooms, please follow the guidance of the introductory disciples to arrive at your own examination location.
Now I announce that the assessment of outer disciples has officially begun! ”
Jin Zeng and the two were already standing in the same small team, so they were naturally led into the same examination room.
Probably because of the escape experience, Jin Ziming didn't want Mu Xiu to be in the forest, and felt that it was safe to be alone.
And with an acceptance rate of up to half, it was decided to keep it appropriately in the assessment and not to expose all strength.
In the first level, Jin Ziming only lifted a stone lock of two hundred catties, and he no longer continued to challenge.
In the second level, seeing that most of the candidates' soul detection distances were 10 to 15 zhang, he set his test result at 12 zhang, which was not conspicuous and could ensure that he passed.
After the first two rounds of exams, more than 400 people were eliminated, and Zeng Ze also made it to the final round relatively easily.
The remaining 1,200 or so people sat on the futons assigned to them and received the last test questions.
This is a remnant sword called "Swing", which seems to swing freely, but after trying it, you will find that the qi is not smooth, and the sword momentum is not round enough.
This question stumped many candidates, but for Jin Ziming, it was extremely easy.
After he experienced the luck method of sword moves, he immediately discovered the location of the meridians and tricks blocked by the aura, which could obviously be solved in a variety of ways.
Jin Ziming didn't answer the question, he glanced around, and found that Zeng Ze and most of the candidates were still thinking hard, and only twenty or thirty geniuses handed in the papers after writing, which made the invigilators bow their heads frequently, and they were extremely appreciative.
It wasn't until more than 300 people left the field that Jin Ziming wrote down the answer casually, and he chose to make up for the sword moves by adding three small movements.
In fact, to be honest, you can add two actions, and if you enable the self-built internal channel, you only need to make a little fine-tuning, and you can add half an action at most, and you can make up for the sword moves.
After Jin Ziming handed in the papers, he waited outside for a while, Zeng Zecai walked out of the examination room with a smile, and when the final deadline came, the rest of the people had to hand in the papers.
Some people looked calm, some people were stunned, and finally Elder Zhang announced that three days later, outside the sect's gate, the admission list would be announced.
Three days later, as expected, Jin Ziming and Zeng Ze were both admitted, and the Longqing faction required new disciples to come and report within three days.
Jin Ziming left the room on the same day, and with joy and longing, he entered the Longqing faction.
He was led to a large hall at the outer gate, where a device for testing physical properties was placed, and a senior brother said to him:
"You stand up and put your palm on that crystal panel."
Jin Ziming did as he said, and soon the instrument lit up with a three-color light, and the results came out.
The senior brother who tested said loudly:
"It's the constitution of metal, water, and wood." It was exactly the same as what the fairy in white said back then.
A deacon took note of it, then muttered a few words to the elder next to him, then took a storage bag and handed it to him.
After teaching him how to open and retrieve things with his spirit, he was told to find his own dwelling.
Jin Ziming found a green identity token in the storage bag, a book of door rules, and ten low-priced spirit stones.
It is said that the sect will regularly distribute so many spirit stones to the outer disciples every month, and there is nothing else.
Jin Ziming followed the instructions and came to the residence of the new disciples of the outer gate, and with the green token, he was led into a bamboo building, each with two floors and a total of four rooms.
Jin Ziming chose a room on the second floor, and after sitting down, he began to look through the door rules.
Soon he saw the one he was most interested in:
Disciples can go to the Outer Gate Library with their identity tokens and read books according to the corresponding permissions.
Jin Ziming was overjoyed, this was his biggest dream in the past ten years, to come to the Cultivation Sect to see the real cultivation method, and he rushed over in a hurry.
The layout of the Longqing School Library Pavilion is somewhat like the Qingfeng Pavilion in the city, which is a pagoda-type structure.
There was an expressionless old man sitting at the door, he had checked Jin Ziming's green token, and told him that he could only go to the first and second floors to read, and that he could borrow three books when he left.
Jin Ziming agreed, and walked briskly into the library pavilion, on the first floor is a circle of circular bookshelves, on which are densely packed with books, and each bookshelf has a sign indicating the type of book.
He immediately indulged in this vast knowledge of cultivating the truth, and read with relish the geography and country introductions of the six continents of the Hongqing Realm, the travel biographies of masters, Buddhist scriptures and Taoist collections, and the annotations of human meridians and acupoints.
He was hungry and thirsty, forgot to sleep and eat, and for two whole days, he never left the first floor for half a step.
But after all, he was not a foundation building monk who could open the valley, and the hunger in his stomach was getting stronger and stronger, but he was still reluctant to leave.
Jin Ziming walked up the stairs and came to the second floor, and found that it was a circle smaller than the first floor, and there were very few miscellaneous books, which were basically pure cultivation books.
He held back his hunger, patiently browsed the catalogs on the shelves, and took down the three books "Basic Theory of Knife Technique", "Analysis of Dantian" and "First Acquaintance of the Divine Soul" and held them in his hands.
When I went out, I registered with the old man, and then I went to the fang market outside the sect to feed my belly, and then rushed back to my room.
Jin Ziming took out the three books, full of hope, hoping to open a new door for himself.
He first flipped through the "Analysis of Dantian", and after reading a few pages, he was shocked that there was not only one human dantian, but three.
Taoists believe that the dantian is the place where the essence and energy are stored, and it is the foundation of life.
"The lower dantian, the house of the Tibetan essence, is the sea of qi entering, it is the void hole, it is the place of the Dan, and refining and refining the qi is cultivated at this stage.
The middle dantian, the house of Tibetan qi, is also the middle of the body, and it is also a void hole, and it is a place for the fetus to be raised in the stage of refining qi and transforming the gods.
On the dantian, the house of the Tibetan gods, for the seal hall into the inside, is a void hole, after the Dancheng, here is the place of the gods, this stage of cultivation is to refine the gods and return to the void, can gradually cultivate the body to nothingness. ”
Jin Ziming was a little surprised, could it be that everyone else had refined two more dantians than himself, wouldn't that be a big gap?
