Chapter 3: Spiritual Roots

The spiritual root is the foundation of cultivation, and the spiritual root qualification determines the difficulty of cultivation.

Heaven and earth have yin and yang, all things have five elements, and the spiritual root is no exception, there are five elements, divided into gold, wood, water, fire, earth, and five spiritual roots; there are superior and inferior superior and inferior, divided into heavenly spiritual roots, strong spiritual roots, weak spiritual roots, pseudo-spiritual roots, and waste spiritual roots.

The Heavenly Spirit Root is also called the Single Spirit Root, the cultivation speed is very fast, a thousand miles a day, there is no bottleneck before the Jindan, it can be said to be the darling of heaven and earth, but this kind of spiritual root is very rare, and it is also unique among the monks. The strong spirit root is also called the double spirit root, the cultivation speed is worse than the heavenly spirit root, but it is also very fast, there is no bottleneck before building the foundation, if there is a chance, it is not difficult to build the foundation. The weak spirit root is the third spirit root, the cultivation speed is average, and the bottleneck varies from person to person, if there is no big opportunity, most of them will be stuck in the qi refining period. The pseudo-spirit root is the four spirit root, the cultivation speed is very slow, and there are many bottlenecks, unless you encounter a great opportunity, you can only have a lifetime card Qi refining period. The waste spirit root is the five spirit root, the cultivation speed is extremely slow, and there are bottlenecks everywhere, even if there is no great opportunity, it may not be able to build a successful foundation.

There are two ways to test the spiritual root in the world, one is to use the magic weapon to detect, and the other is to use the divine sense to detect, the first one needs to detect the magic weapon, and the second requires at least the cultivation of the foundation. The Li family did not have a foundation building cultivator, nor did they have a magic weapon, so Li Qingshan didn't know his spiritual root qualifications. The old ancestor knew that he could cultivate, but he only used the local methods that all the Hanmen families were using, so that all children of the right age could try to cultivate, and if he could attract spiritual energy into his body, he would naturally have spiritual roots and be able to cultivate, but on the contrary, he would be ordinary people.

It's not that there is no place to test the spiritual root outside the sect, but most shabby families can't afford this cost, and it's not necessary, the sect assessment is an opportunity to test the spiritual root for free, every time, all the families will let the younger generation of monks come to test, even if they can't enter the door, they can also know their spiritual root qualifications, and if they have a chance in the future, they also know what kind of exercises are suitable for their own cultivation.

It didn't take long for the people in front of Li Qingshan to finish testing, and when it was Li Qingshan's turn, no one had passed the test. Among the hundreds of teenagers present, Li Qingshan had already tested a small half of the previous test, and it is conceivable that there are few people with excellent qualifications, and it is difficult to pass the test.

Li Qingshan walked up to the stage, bowed to the middle-aged Taoist, and then put his hand on the transparent magic ball used for testing, and couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in his heart, expecting and fearing.

As Li Qingshan grasped the magic ball, the magic ball showed three colors, red, yellow and blue, and then the red yellow slowly faded, and finally turned into a light sky blue.

"Fire Gold Water Weak Water Spirit Root, Medium Qualifications, What's Your Name?" The middle-aged Taoist looked up at Li Qingshan slightly, and said flatly.

"Back to my predecessors, my name is Li Qingshan. Li Qingshan replied nervously.

"Let's stand aside!" the middle-aged Taoist took out a jade slip to record the information, and then pointed to the side.

did not step down, it should have passed the test, Li Qingshan held back the joy in his heart, walked to the side of the middle-aged Taoist and stood up.

"My family, that's my boy!" On the periphery of the square, Li Wuya overflowed with joy and said excitedly.

"Brother Li, congratulations!" Jiang Wenda pursed his lips and congratulated sourly.

The people around Li Wuya were either envious or jealous, and they also congratulated a few times.

"Ashamed, ashamed! The old decay made you laugh. Li Wuya said that he was ashamed, but his face could not hide his excitement, and he still smiled happily.

Li Qingshan came to the stage to test Jiang Xueying.

Jiang Xueying put her hand on the magic ball, and the magic weapon flashed blue and green colors, and finally turned dark green.

Seeing that the magic weapon only displayed two colors, Li Qingshan knew that Jiang Xueying must have passed the test, and he was happy for her.

"Shuimu Qiangmu Linggen, Linggen is highly qualified, little girl, what's your name?" Sure enough, the middle-aged Taoist who had been wearing a long face actually showed a slight smile on his face, and asked Jiang Xueying gently.

"Back to my predecessors, my name is Jiang Xueying. Jiang Xueying knew that she had passed the test and replied happily.

"Yes, stand aside. The middle-aged Taoist nodded with satisfaction.

Jiang Xueying happily walked to Li Qingshan's side and stood up, full of spring breeze.

"That's my girl, that's my girl!" Outside the square, Jiang Wenda's behavior was even more unbearable than his ancestor, and he shouted with his hands dancing.

"Brother Jiang, congratulations!" Li Wuya looked at Jiang Wenda with a smile.

There was another sour congratulation all around.

"Gaffe! gaffe!" Jiang Wenda said modestly, but his eyebrows danced.

On stage, the assessment continues.

Soon, another person passed the assessment, and it was a fat little fat man. After this person came on stage, he always looked at Jiang Xueying with a smile, and Li Qingshan always felt that his smile was a little obscene, and he was inexplicably a little disliked.

After the little fat man, no one passed the test, and the test was over after a while.

"Two masters, the contemptible people have prepared a little wine, how about taking a short rest in the house?" said the Huayi monk again on the high platform.

"Dao is friendly, poor Dao heart understands, my junior brother and I still need to bring people back to the door, it is inconvenient to stay, so I will leave. The middle-aged Taoist thanked him.

After speaking, the middle-aged Taoist waved his sleeves, Li Qingshan only felt that his body was light, and then the person rose into the air and landed on a flying sword. The middle-aged Taoist carried Li Qingshan and Jiang Xueying, while the young Taoist carried the little fat man and galloped away in the distance.

The flying sword broke through the air, the wind was agitated, and the face was stinging, Li Qingshan hurriedly protected the spiritual power, and when he came back to his senses, he found that he was far away from Huaiyang Valley, and he couldn't tell which one was the ancestor. Huaiyang Valley became smaller and smaller in his eyes, and finally disappeared.

The scenery along the way is dazzling, and along the way, Li Qingshan saw countless mountains and rivers, and many towns that are larger than the market town of Huaiyang Valley. Li Qingshan never imagined that the world outside the valley was so magnificent, and he gradually forgot the sadness of leaving his hometown, and looked forward to the day when he would be able to build a foundation and cultivate and travel the world.

After Li Qingshan and the others left, the Huayi monk invited Li Wuya, Jiang Wenda and the elders of the little fat man's family to come as guests, and the wine he prepared was naturally laughed at by the three of them. Li Wuya had never been so drunk in his life, he was in a daze during the banquet, and he didn't know how many ugly things he said, so he was with Jiang Wenda the next day and left happily.
