Seeing Kong Rui's preoccupied appearance, everyone thought that his Huigen test had failed. Long Zheng smiled and said to him: "The Huigen test is not that important, as long as you can open the spiritual root tomorrow, you can naturally rank in the inner gate." He also later heard from other people that Kong Rui actually entered the sect by virtue of his great achievements in the sect, and he naturally looked at Kong Rui differently.

Kong Rui thought to himself: How can it be so easy to open the spiritual root? His usual cultivation is too far behind these children of the family. At that moment, he smiled bitterly and said to Long Zheng: "Thank you, Brother Long, it's just that I usually practice too little, and it should be even more difficult to open the spiritual root." ”

Hearing Kong Rui say this, Yun Gang shook his head and said, "The relationship between opening the spiritual root and ordinary cultivation is not so big, it mainly depends on innateness, but it is more related to bloodline." Ordinary cultivation can only help you endure more pain when you open the spiritual root, and there are some auxiliary effects. Some Heavenly Spirit Root geniuses have never cultivated, and they are not in pain when they open the Spirit Root, but he is indeed a Heavenly Spirit Root. ”

When Kong Rui heard that this was the case, he could only resign himself to fate, but when he heard what Tianling Root was talking about, he was also curious in his heart, and hurriedly asked. Yun Gang is a child of a great family, he knows a lot of classics and stories, plus he did very well in today's Huigen test, and he is in a good mood, so he immediately told Kong Rui some explanations about Linggen.

It turns out that the most fundamental difference between ordinary qi refiners and spirit disciples is the spiritual root, ordinary qi refiners cannot open the spiritual root, and the qi refining is stored in the dantian, and they can only refine qi throughout their lives; after the spiritual disciple opens the spiritual root, he can refine the qi into Gang, and the Gang Qi is stored in the spiritual root; and with the Gang Qi, you can further cultivate on the basis of the Gang Qi, and the life span of the cultivator will be extended exponentially; the human meridians are divided into Ren Du, and the attributes are divided into yin and yang, so the spiritual root is also based on the double number, the most common is the double spiritual root, the ten-fold spiritual root is the heavenly spiritual root, and the eight-fold spiritual root is the earth spiritual root. For this Wu Xuanzong, the Heavenly Spirit Root may not be able to produce one in a thousand years, and the Earth Spirit Root is also rare in a hundred years. As long as someone opens the spiritual root, it is a human immortal, and the future is immeasurable. However, ordinary people begin to solidify their spiritual roots after the age of twelve, and it is difficult to open them again in the future, so the spiritual initiation ceremony is for children before the age of twelve.

When Kong Rui heard this explanation, he felt a sense of relief in his heart, thinking that if he couldn't open the spiritual root, it would already be good for him to be able to cultivate to the top level of Qi Refiner like Lin Wen. I didn't care at the moment, so I chatted with the seven children for a while.

After the seven children finished discussing, they all had to go out to play, but Kong Rui stayed quietly in the dormitory, carefully recalling the Huigen test questions, and found that many of them were what the lecturer had said.

Finally waited for the afternoon, Kong Rui waited early on the way to the Qianlong Palace, and went to see the results of Huigen's test with Su Yun. Along the way, Kong Rui also told Su Yun the information about the spiritual root that he heard from Yun Gang, and when Su Yun heard this, his heart relaxed a lot, and he thought: Since it is innate, then listen to the destiny of heaven!

Huigen's test results showed that Kong Rui only got a medium, barely meeting the entry requirements of a spirit disciple, while Su Yun got an upper middle. When the two children saw that they had passed the test, they were very happy, and they longed for a while to practice together, so they finished dinner together and walked around.

The Spiritual Ceremony is the most important annual ceremony of the Shuren Hall, because it is related to the inheritance of the sect and the future development, the head of the Wuxuan Sect and the various veins of the palm peak will come to participate if they are free, and the various vein palms have already been optimistic about a group of their favorite disciples in the Shuren Hall, and they also want to see their performance in the opening ceremony. The master of the Tree Hall will personally preside over the opening ceremony, and other unrelated people can only wait for news outside the Hidden Dragon Palace.

Kong Rui and Su Yun arrived at the square outside the Qianlong Hall early to wait, only to see that the square outside the hall was already full of all kinds of people, only a small half of the people were children like them waiting for the opening ceremony, more were the inner and outer disciples who had entered the sect, some came to see the excitement, and some knew that there were children from their own families or familiar families who came to open the spirit, and they made a special trip to pay attention to one or two.

All the children waiting for the firing ceremony were divided into men and women. Kong Rui saw that there were only two or three hundred girls at most, thinking that this Great Yan Country had long favored sons over daughters, and the major families had much less investment in girls. However, when Shurentang was looking for genius disciples, it did not distinguish between men and women, and only cared about talent, so there was no shortage of genius disciples among these two or three hundred girls.

After Kong Rui and more than a thousand other children entered the Hidden Dragon Palace, they only found that the spar at one end of the pillar hanging from the roof had been replaced by a huge white hazy ball, and nothing else had changed. Kong Rui immediately found a place to sit down, and saw the girls opposite forming a group from a distance, thinking that Su Yun would participate in this spiritual ceremony with him in it, and also hoped that the two of them could pass at the same time, and waited with excitement and anxiety in his heart.

After waiting for another meal, I saw gray figures floating in at the door, everyone was hazy, and they couldn't see their faces clearly, and they all flew onto the high platform, and a curtain of light blocked them all.

Kong Rui counted them when they came in, there were about a dozen, and he also felt puzzled in his heart, thinking: This hazy person on his body is basically a person of the same status as Deputy Hall Master Zhao and Deputy Hall Master Chen, how can there be so many people in just one opening ceremony? I was strange in my heart, but I didn't dare to think about it, so I sat there quietly and waited.

Suddenly, I saw a person walking out of the light curtain, and the eight crystal walls on the side of the high platform emitted a soft white light at the same time, Kong Rui immediately felt his heart calm, and he heard a voice say: "God bless me to enlighten Xuanzong." Today, so many genius disciples can enter my Wuxuan Sect to participate in the opening ceremony. Regardless of whether you can succeed in enlightening the soul or not, I hope that you will be able to carry forward my enlightenment Xuanzong in the future. The whole process of enlightenment will not cause harm to your body, and even if the enlightenment fails, it will be of great benefit to you when you return home to continue refining qi. ”

The man paused, and seeing that all the children were not reacting, he continued: "Okay! You can concentrate your own central spirit and concentrate the vitality you have cultivated in the dantian. During the process of enlightenment, the body may have severe pain, but try not to resist, otherwise it is very likely to lead to the failure of enlightenment, and try to maintain the body posture to avoid the loss of qi and blood. ”

Kong Rui thought to himself: It turns out that it is just pain and maintaining body posture, but the concentration of the spirit is the basis of qi refining, it doesn't sound very difficult, I don't know if there are other mysteries. After listening to it for a while, Kong Rui found that there was nothing special, and his mood calmed down a lot.

Just listen to the man: "Embed your tokens into the circle, and the opening ceremony will begin immediately." I saw that all the children embedded their personal tokens in the magic circle, sat cross-legged, closed their eyes and concentrated, adjusting their breath to prepare for enlightenment.

I only heard a buzzing sound, and the eight crystal walls on the side of the high platform were shining brightly, and the rich heaven and earth vitality was being released continuously, evenly sprinkled on every child. It's just that because men and women are different, the boy's side has a little more yang energy, and the girl's side has a little more yin energy. All the children were soon able to settle down, and they hurriedly gathered their vitality in the dantian. After another meal, I saw the gray-robed man on the high platform pinching his hands, and the crystal ball on the roof shone brightly. In the words of the gray-robed man, Kong Rui felt the pressure coming from all directions, and his body seemed to be squeezed by an invisible force, and he slowly couldn't sit still.

As the pressure increased, some children on the side could no longer support it and began to stagger around, but they quickly struggled to sit up straight, adjusting their breathing while fighting the pressure. Kong Rui struggled to resist the pressure for a while, but he felt that there was more vitality in his body as if he had been squeezed out, so he hurriedly began to run Xiao Zhoutian according to what the gray-robed man said, guiding more vitality into the dantian.
