The house, the inner room, surrounded by sandalwood. Wu Qiduan sat on the futon, his eyes closed, one hand spread out, and a jade the size of a fist lay on it.

Wu Qi's breathing at this moment was like a sleeping baby, steady and with a special rhythm. With each breath he takes, the jade in his hand slowly changes, getting smaller and smaller. It's hard to see, but it's true. Every time he breathed, a faint light would shine on the jade, and a trace of spiritual energy would be stripped from the jade and enter Wu Qi's meridians along the palm of his hand.

"Smack"

Three hours later, I heard a crisp sound in the inner room, and the jade lying in Wu Qu's palm cracked a crack. After the first gap appeared, it was followed by the second, third, and fourth paths.

Soon the jade was covered with spider-like cracks, and with Wu Qi's last long breath, the jade finally couldn't bear it. Turned into a pile of powder and flew away from Wu Qi's fingers, and Wu Qi also opened his eyes at this time.

Glancing at the powder on the ground, Wu Qi immediately sensed the true qi in his body, his face changed imperceptibly at this time, and his brows immediately furrowed slightly.

"In the third layer of the Qi cultivation period, nearly half of the spirit stones have been consumed, and the cultivation has not yet entered the fourth layer. ”

"According to what is said in the jade slip, the first layer of the corpse cultivation recipe does not need to consume spirit stones, and entering the second layer requires the consumption of ten lower-grade spirit stones. Entering the third layer requires the consumption of fifty spirit stones, while the fourth layer requires a hundred spirit stones, and the consumption of spirit stones after the fifth layer is even more terrifying, each layer is twice as large as the previous layer. ”

Wu Qi continued to sit cross-legged on the futon, did not get up, but frowned and thought about something, muttering to himself from time to time.

At this time, a year has passed since the last time Wu Qi sacrificed to his father, and in this year's time, Wu Qi's cultivation has entered the third layer of the Qi cultivation period. He knew very well that this kind of cultivation was still the lowest in the outer gate.

"No, you have to go to the fourth floor. ”

With a flash of unwillingness in his eyes, Wu Qi reached out and touched a small worn cloth bag on his waist, only to see a flash of light on the cloth bag. A crystal jade slightly larger than a fist appeared in Wu Qi's hand, and holding the jade in his hand, Wu Qi immediately closed his eyes again and settled down.

Soon, Wu Qi's breathing began to grow long, and he was immersed in cultivation. Time passed little by little, and the jade in his hand began to change again, and another three hours passed, and the original crystal jade turned into a pile of jade powder.

His eyes opened, and a trace of doubt and discoloration flashed in his eyes, without pause. The palm of his hand touched the cloth bag again, and another crystal jade appeared in his hand.

Since then, for three months, jade stones have continued to appear in Wu Qi's palms, and finally they have all turned into powder.

When another jade stone turned into powder, the aura on Wu Qi's body suddenly changed, and only then did Wu Qi open his eyes. I sensed the cultivation on my body.

"Finally entered the fourth layer of the Qi training period"

Cultivation has improved, but Wu Qi did not see joy on his face, but a trace of doubt appeared. Still didn't get up, but frowned and thought, one thought after another flashed through his mind, and finally pointed to a conclusion that made him feel bad.

"Ordinary outer disciples, cultivating the method of cultivating corpses, from the first layer to the fourth layer, need ten, fifty, and one hundred lower grade spirit stones respectively. A total of one hundred and sixty pieces, and the new disciples of the outer sect can receive a ten-year share of spirit stones and pills at one time. That is, four hundred spirit stones, which can allow an outer disciple to cultivate the corpse cultivation technique to the peak of the fifth layer. If you're lucky, you can even break through to the sixth layer. ”

"But now, the spirit stones I received have almost been consumed, but they are still worthy of entering the fourth layer. ”

Wu Qi reached out and touched the worn cloth bag on his waist, and in a flash of light, he took out the remaining spirit stones inside. Arranged on the ground in turn, the few are pitiful, and you can count how much is left at a glance. A total of four hundred spirit stones, he has consumed more than three hundred in more than a year, and now he only has less than twenty spirit stones left on his body.

"That's why I came. ”

"Spiritual Root"

Slowly spit out two words from Wu Qi's mouth, stretched out his hand and wiped them, and put the row of lower grade spirit stones on the ground into the cloth bag. The tattered cloth bag around his waist is a magic weapon, a storage bag. He had seen it before, but it was when he was still a miscellaneous servant that he had seen the storage bag on the miscellaneous peak master.

However, the cultivation of the miscellaneous peak master is the peak of the twelfth layer of the qi cultivation period, and among the many disciples of the outer sect, he can be regarded as a strong one. The storage bags used are naturally different from the worn-out storage bags that Wu Qi uses now.

After putting away the spirit stone, Wu Qi got up and snuffed out the sandalwood in the incense burner. This sandalwood is also a good thing, and when lit during cultivation, it makes it easier for people to enter a state of concentration. Although every outer disciple can receive it on time, there is also a quota limit, so it is better not to waste it.

"Squeak"

The door opened, and Wu Qi walked out of it. More than a year has passed, but Wu Qi has indeed undergone some changes. As he grew taller, he became more refined, and a faint aura emanated from him. If it is a light appearance, it is difficult to say that Wu Qi is just a sixteen-year-old and a half-old youth.

But his face was still like that, covered with dark spots, and it was extremely ugly. This is why for more than a year, he is still alone, and he doesn't even have a friend. The twenty teenagers who entered the outer gate with him now have their own groups.

The weak follow the strong, and after paying a certain price, the weak can be blessed by the strong. No matter here, it's the same. The same was true in the outer gate, and the dozen or so disciples who were at the peak of the twelfth layer of the Qi cultivation period each had many followers. Almost half of the disciples of the outer gate followed the dozen or so strongest senior brothers, including the twenty people who entered the outer gate with Wu Qi.

Walking out of his quarters, Wu Qi headed to the mountainside, where there was a black rope bridge. The rope bridge was connected somewhere, and it stretched straight into the depths of the rolling clouds. Under the rope bridge, there is an abyss thousands of feet deep.

Standing in front of the rope bridge, Wu Qi did not hesitate at all, and the whole person flew up like a big eagle and stepped on the rope bridge. Stepping on his feet, a series of afterimages flashed, and he disappeared into the depths of the clouds.

Another peak, halfway up the mountain, also has a black rope bridge. The rope bridge connected the depths of the clouds, and at this moment, the clouds suddenly rolled up. A vague figure appeared, and after a while, the figure appeared on this mountain peak through the clouds and mist, it was Wu Qi.

The figure fell, and Wu Qi went straight to the top of the mountain.

The Foreign Affairs Hall, the huge palace appeared in Wu Qi's eyes. This is the third time that Wu Qi has come to this Foreign Affairs Hall, the first time is to report, and the second time is to receive the spirit stones and pills of those ten years.

The first two times, Wu Qi had a reason to laugh, but this third time, Wu Qi couldn't laugh.

Instead of stepping into the huge palace, he went to a side hall with a plaque hanging on it. There are three big black and red characters in the book: Soul Measuring Pavilion.

In the cultivation realm, there are thousands of monks, but compared to the number of mortals as huge as the sand of the Ganges. But there are few pitiful, and the monks are all cultivated by mortals. However, not all mortals can cultivate to become monks, and there is a spiritual root qualification in the cultivation realm.

A mortal with a spiritual root can become a monk. However, the spiritual root is also divided into levels, and the better the spiritual root, the faster the natural cultivation speed, and the higher the future achievements may be. And for cultivators with poor spiritual roots, it is just as slow as a turtle to cultivate, and it is even more difficult to break through those cultivation bottlenecks.

Therefore, in the cultivation realm, whenever those sects want to recruit new disciples, they will first test and check the qualifications of these disciples. If you come across those excellent spiritual roots, you will immediately cultivate them vigorously.

Just like this Ten Thousand Corpses Sect, it is said that as soon as a young man with a good spiritual root is found, he will immediately be admitted to the inner gate and vigorously cultivated with many precious resources. And for other disciples to enter the inner gate, there is only one way, and that is to break through to the realm of cultivation and foundation building. Otherwise, you will have to work outside the door for the rest of your life.

Wu Qi has been cultivating for a year and a half, and his cultivation is worthy of entering the fourth layer of the Qi cultivation period, and the spirit stones have been almost consumed. Therefore, Wu Qi had a guess in his heart, and Wu Qi came here to confirm this guess.

The Spirit Measuring Pavilion is the place where the Ten Thousand Corpses Sect tests the disciples' spiritual root qualifications. Each outer disciple had a chance to test his spiritual root, and the other outer disciples used it when they were getting started. And Wu Qi, because he was promoted to an outer disciple by a miscellaneous servant, he still had a chance.

Without any hesitation, Wu Qi walked into the Soul Measuring Pavilion with an expressionless face.

Half an hour later, Wu Qi slowly walked out of it, his face was extremely gloomy, and his eyes flashed with unwillingness from time to time.

"The inferior spiritual root is actually the worst inferior spiritual root. ”

My eyes hurt, I can't write anymore, and I can only owe the last chapter first. Let's have three more chapters today, everyone, forgive me.
