"It takes time and energy to judge the truth of a person's words, and it requires specialized personnel to ......," Qingchen said.

"Of course, it's not like this, but after letting the person concerned say it once, and then feeding the Liuyun Sect's unique secret elixir, the Asking Heart Pill, those who eat it will fall into an ethereal and selfless state. Shangguan Yongzhen said.

"Will answer all questions that are heard completely and truthfully, and there will be no concealment. ”

In other words, if the person's self-statement in the previous moment was a sincere and responsible answer that came completely from the heart, then his answer after eating the Question Pill would be exactly the same as the answer in the previous quarter of an hour. ”

Once it is different, it means that the answer at the previous moment is not sincere and responsible, and there must be something to conceal and untruth. ”

"This is a solution, but it may not work for some memory masters who have never forgotten, right?" Qingchen said.

"No, no, no. Shangguan Yongzhen said, "Don't underestimate the Asking Heart Pill, although the medicinal effect is only half an hour, but the medicinal power is powerful, as long as you are not a monk, it is impossible to maintain self-awareness after eating it, let alone remember the content of the previous moment." ”

"How can you pass the test?" Qingchen said.

"If the content is exactly the same twice, you will pass the test, and if there is the slightest deviation, you will not pass the test. Shangguan Yongzhen said.

"yes, I see. Qingchen nodded.

"The so-called empirical link is that the relevant people of the Liuyun Sect will question the answers of the parties. ”

Shangguan Yongzhen continued, "For thousands of years, the Liuyun Sect has long been familiar with the territory under its jurisdiction, so it will specifically ask questions based on the family background stated by the person concerned and the related issues that may be involved. ”

"It will be mixed with true and false information, so that the parties can make a judgment. ”

"Will it be adulterated?" said Qingchen.

Of course, if the parties are unable to distinguish and there is no legitimate and reasonable reason, it means that the parties are suspected of being confused and avoiding the important at the stage of self-statement. Shangguan Yongzhen said.

"It may even have been specially targeted training, and it must be someone with ulterior motives, so naturally it cannot be passed. ”

"I see, this kind of repeated evaluation is indeed much safer. Qingchen nodded.

"Qualification and potential testing is actually the simplest, but also the most irreplaceable and important. Shangguan Yongzhen also nodded.

"How?"

"No matter how innocent the family background is, without qualifications, everything is useless. Shangguan Yongzhen said, "Qualification is the most important, potential is secondary, there is no potential to get started, and there is no need to test the potential without qualifications." ”

In other words, qualification is the premise of all tests, and you have to have it. Qingchen said.

"Not bad. On the test site of Liuyun Danque in Lianyunfang City, there are two platforms, each of which has a huge induction stone. Shangguan Yongzhen nodded, "As long as you stick your palm on the stone, you can test your qualifications and potential." ”

"What exactly is a qualification?" Qingchen said.

"The so-called qualification is innate, that is, the spiritual root. Shangguan Yongzhen said, "As far as I know, people can practice precisely because they have spiritual roots, and if they don't have spiritual roots, they can't practice. ”

"What is the spiritual root?" Qing Chen frowned, he wasn't sure if he had this thing, and he was a little worried.

"The spiritual root is an innate adaptability, and I don't know what it is. Shangguan Yongzhen said, "It has a variety of attributes, and the spiritual roots of ordinary people are generally divided into five types: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. ”

"People with outstanding qualifications also have mutated spiritual roots, such as ice, thunder, wind, etc., which are mutated from ordinary spiritual roots. ”

"During the test, the spirit root of each attribute is engraved with a corresponding fixed area on the induction stone, and once the area glows, it means that it is the spirit root attribute. ”

"Is it possible for a person to have a kind of heavy attribute spiritual root?" Qing Chen said, "Isn't the more the better?"

"Ordinary people have a variety of attribute spiritual roots, and it's not that the more the better, but the fewer the better. Shangguan Yongzhen said, "If it is a mutated spiritual root, it can only be a specific mutation, and it can no longer have other attributes. ”

"The less, the better, isn't there also a variety of attributes in spiritual power?"

"According to my ancestor, the spiritual roots with more attributes are very slow to absorb spiritual power due to their own mixture, and they can't even get spiritual power themselves, so how can they cultivate?"

Shangguan Yongzhen said, "And the sensitivity of the spiritual root of a single attribute and the spiritual power of the corresponding attribute is extremely high, it is very easy to absorb, the cultivation speed is extremely fast, and it can also purify and refine the spiritual power of the cultivation by itself. ”

"Does this mean that a single attribute spiritual root is the most rare?" Qing Chen said.

"Not bad. Once you have it, you will be a rare genius in the immortal cultivation world for thousands of years, and you will definitely become the object of competition among the major sects, so this kind of spiritual root has an alias, called the Heavenly Spiritual Root. ”

"That is to say, there are five kinds of heavenly spirit roots, which are the single attributes of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Qingchen said.

"Right. Shangguan Yongzhen said, "The second is the mutated spirit root, although the cultivation speed of this spirit root is inferior to the heavenly spirit root, it is also powerful and cannot be ignored. It is a rare occurrence in a hundred years, and every appearance is enough to make the hearts of all major sects excited. ”

"Anything else?" said Qingchen.

"Absolutely. Shangguan Yongzhen smiled, "Once again, it is a dual-attribute spiritual root, and it is relatively sensitive to the perception of the two spiritual qi that are in line with its own spiritual root attributes, and it belongs to a relatively excellent spiritual root." ”

"Next is the three-attribute spiritual root, which is the spiritual root of the vast majority of ordinary monks. ”

"Another time it's a four-attribute spirit root, very few people can cultivate to the late stage of qi refining. ”

"The most important is the five-attribute spirit root, which is the most complicated, so it also has an alias, called the waste spirit root, which is almost the same as a mortal. Therefore, the immortal cultivation world unanimously believes that the monks of this spiritual root belong to waste materials, and basically have nothing to do with immortal cultivation. ”

"What about the potential test?" Qingchen continued.

"There are six levels of potential testing: Demon, Super Tianjiao, Tianjiao, Outstanding, Excellent, and Ordinary. Shangguan Yongzhen said, "Under normal circumstances, the Heavenly Spirit Root corresponds to the Tianjiao Potential, the Alien Spirit Root corresponds to the Outstanding Potential, the Dual-Attribute Spiritual Root corresponds to the Excellent Potential, and the Three-Attribute Spiritual Root corresponds to the Ordinary Potential. ”

"How do you measure the potential?"

"Potential and qualification do not exactly correspond, the alien spirit root may also be the potential of Tianjiao, but the potential above the Tianjiao can only be the Tianling root, and the potential is actually just an estimate, including qualification, cultivation, bone age, body, etc. ”

"But it does not include non-quantifiable factors such as mind, understanding, and luck, so it is not very accurate, just a reference. ”

"On the contrary, the mind and understanding are extremely important. Qingchen said.

"After the above four links are over, there is a fifth link, which is the competition with many parties. Shangguan Yongzhen said, "After all, the Liuyun Sect only recruits a thousand people every five years, of which nine hundred are miscellaneous disciples and one hundred are outer disciples. ”

But the number of people who actually came to the collection meeting was far more than that. In order to give more people the opportunity to participate, the Liuyun Sect has adopted a flexible measure. 1,000 people are recruited every year, in addition to those who score within the top 800 in the above four categories. ”

"The other 200 will be judged from 800 to 1,200 out of the above four scores. ”

"The last four hundred take two hundred, what are the rules?"

"The rule is that these four hundred people must rush to the Liuyunzong Mountain Gate Square by Lianyunfang City to participate in the test on time within one day and one night, and the first two hundred people will be ranked and calculate how many people are other than a thousand. ”

Shangguan Yongzhen said, "And the eight hundred to one thousand people who were tested for the first time only need to arrive at the Liuyun Sect Mountain Gate Square on time. Even if you are outside the two hundred, you are eligible to take the second test. ”

"Because there are five links above, it is nicknamed 'passing the five levels'. ”

"Could it be that there are six links in 'Killing Six Generals'?"

"Not bad. Shangguan Yongzhen nodded, "'Cutting Six Generals' is mainly a test of the comprehensive qualities of the parties' understanding, heart, and strain, and is divided into three sessions, each with two links. ”

"The first test of comprehension is to participate in a military formation that has been changed from the formation, and then practice with the person in charge. ”

"Then how do you determine if you have passed? What if you don't?"

"At the discretion of the examiner. Shangguan Yongzhen said, "If you don't pass the test, it doesn't matter, the test of perception and mentality, and strain is relatively independent, and all three games need to be completed, and then the ranking will be determined according to the comprehensive results." ”

"I see. Qingchen nodded.
