Taking a deep breath, Xu Xiangrui gushed endlessly and began the enlightenment education of cultivation for Li Zhe: "There is an invisible energy between heaven and earth, which nourishes all things in heaven and earth, and the people in the cultivation realm call it heaven and earth aura. Xiuzhen is the act of the monk introducing the aura of heaven and earth into the body, running it in the meridians for purification, and then storing it in the dantian, slowly absorbing it to nourish itself, improving the monk's essence, qi, and spirit, and finally breaking through the bottleneck and evolving to a higher level of life form. Not only do monks have a much longer lifespan than mortals, but they also have incredible magical powers. There are many forms of existence of heaven and earth aura, in addition to the aura absorbed by ordinary monks when cultivating, the yin qi absorbed by ghosts, the demon qi absorbed by demon beasts, etc., are all evolved from the aura of heaven and earth, and all belong to the category of heaven and earth aura. From this, it can be seen that the aura of heaven and earth is the source of our monk's strength and the foundation of our cultivation. ”

"The prerequisite for becoming a monk is to see if you can absorb enough heaven and earth aura to cultivate. Although all living beings living between heaven and earth can instinctively absorb the aura of heaven and earth, not everyone can become monks. There is also a question of the amount of heaven and earth aura absorbed, which is what we monks usually call the spiritual root qualification. ”

"I haven't seen what the spiritual root looks like, I only know that people in the world are divided into two categories: those with spiritual roots and those without spiritual roots. People with spiritual roots can attract enough heaven and earth aura to support the operational requirements of the foundation building exercises, so as to embark on the path of cultivating the truth and become a monk. Although people without spiritual roots can also sense a little bit of heaven and earth aura, the number is too small to support the operation of the foundation building exercises, and the transformation effect on the body is extremely limited, so they cannot become monks. ”

"Spiritual roots are extremely rare things, and it is difficult for a person with spiritual roots to appear among ten thousand mortals. Therefore, anyone who wants to join the Cultivation Sect must first test the spiritual root qualifications, and without the spiritual root, they cannot cultivate the truth. In particular, this sect has high requirements for spiritual root qualifications, and only monks above the true spiritual root can join. As for what the True Spiritual Root is, I'll talk about it below. ”

"There is a distinction between high and low spiritual root qualifications, and people with high spiritual root qualifications attract more heaven and earth aura, and they can get twice the result with half the effort when they cultivate. On the contrary, people with low spiritual root qualifications are not only slow to cultivate, but also have limited future achievements. If you want to directly see the level of a person's spiritual root qualifications, that is a magical power that only the Yuan Infant Ancestor has, and ordinary monks can't do it. If ordinary monks want to know the level of a person's spiritual root qualification, they have to use the spirit detection array to determine it. ”

"The spirit detection circle is a magic circle that specializes in testing the qualification of the spiritual root, it is very convenient to use, as long as the test person enters the magic circle, he can pass the number of stars displayed on the top of his head, and his spiritual root qualification can be measured at a glance, the only drawback is that the operating cost is too high, and a large amount of high-grade spirit stones are consumed. For example, this sect's soul detection array can test a hundred people at a time, and it will consume seven high-grade spirit stones. Later, you will know that seven high-grade spirit stones are a great wealth for the monk. ”

"Linggen qualifications are divided into nine levels, from low to high, with one star to nine stars. The eight-star spirit root and the nine-star spirit root are collectively called the heavenly spirit root. Heavenly Spirit Root Cultivators are the darlings of the heavens, they can attract the most heaven and earth aura, they make the fastest progress when cultivating the foundation building exercises, and they are also the easiest when they break through the bottleneck of the realm, so they can often stand at the top of the world and become invincible existences. Of course, the number of Heavenly Spirit Root Monks was negligible. In the long history of cultivation, there are only more than ten Heavenly Spirit Root monks recorded. ”

"The six-star spiritual root and the seven-star spiritual root are collectively called the earth spiritual root. The Earth Spirit Root Cultivator's ability to attract the aura of heaven and earth was second only to that of the Heavenly Spirit Root Cultivator, and the progress of cultivating the Foundation Building Technique was also very easy, and the resistance to advancement was also small. Therefore, as long as the Earth Spirit Root Cultivator has enough resources to support it, he will basically not be able to run away from the cultivation to the Yuan Infant Stage. Of course, the number of Earth Spirit Root Monks is also extremely rare, and it is also a 1 in 10,000 chance among the monks with Spirit Root. ”

"The three-star spiritual root to the five-star spiritual root are collectively called the true spiritual root, and the qualifications of this kind of monk are not as rebellious as the heavenly spiritual root and earth spiritual root monks, but with the support of acquired efforts and sufficient resources, it is not hopeless to cultivate to the Yuan infant stage. The one-star spiritual root and the two-star spiritual root are collectively called pseudo-spiritual roots, the qualifications of this kind of monk are just barely able to cultivate, under normal circumstances, no matter how hard they try, they can only linger at the low level, and it is extremely difficult to advance to the spiritual seed stage, and there is no opportunity to go against the sky, so don't think about it in the Yuan Infant Period. The composition of the monks in the cultivation realm is like a pyramid, and the higher the star rating, the smaller the number of people. The Heavenly Spirit Root and Earth Spirit Root monks are tower dust, and the number is very small, and the monks from one star to five star spirit roots basically constitute the entire pyramid. Among them, pseudo-spiritual root monks account for more than seventy percent, and true spiritual root monks account for less than thirty percent. ”

Xu Xiangrui is very eloquent and speaks in an orderly manner, and under his detailed explanation, Li Zhe finally understood the meaning of Linggen's qualifications. He also learned that he had to have a three-star spiritual root or above to join the Yunmeng Sect, and he couldn't help but be a little worried when he thought of this.

"The people who came to this sect for testing today are all from the Xiuzhen family in Youzhou, and you are the only exception. Do you know why this is happening?" Speaking of which, Xu Xiangrui deliberately sold a pass.

"I really don't know this, and I ask Immortal Master Xu for advice. Li Zhe bowed his hand to Xu Xiangrui when he heard this, and said very cooperatively.

Xu Xiangrui was sent out to welcome him by the Yunmeng Sect, but he was obviously only a low-level disciple, and his knowledge of cultivation was very limited. It is rare to have the opportunity to be a teacher for others, and his vanity is greatly satisfied, and he feels even more attached when he sees Li Zhe.

Xu Xiangrui glanced at Li Zhe with satisfaction, and continued to explain: "I just said that opening the spirit detection array is to consume high-grade spirit stones, which is a lot of wealth. If there are too many people to test, even a large sect like this sect can't afford such a large consumption of spirit stones. How to narrow down the scope of material selection has become a big problem. Fortunately, the seniors of the cultivation realm found that the spiritual root qualification can be inherited through bloodline, and the chance of a spiritual root appearing in the descendants of people with a spiritual root is much higher than that of ordinary people. Based on this discovery, the various sects encouraged those disciples who failed to cultivate the Tao to leave the sect and establish their own cultivation families to continue the bloodline. After the family is established, send their descendants back to the sect to test the spiritual root, and those who pass will be absorbed by the sect. In this way, the Xiuzhen family can be protected by the sect, and the sect also gets fresh blood, which is mutually beneficial, killing two birds with one stone. There are more than a hundred large and small cultivation families attached to our Yunmeng Sect. Therefore, the vast majority of the disciples of this sect are from various cultivation families, and only a very small number of disciples are like you, who are talents found by the predecessors of this sect when they were walking in the world, and they were specially recommended to go up the mountain. ”

The two chatted while walking, and after a while, on the left side of the stone steps, a stone platform about one acre in size appeared, and Xu Xiangrui led Li Zhe to the platform.

There are already seventy or eighty people on the platform, most of whom are around ten years old. At Li Zhe's age, standing in the middle of the crowd feels a little like standing out from the crowd.

On the east side of the platform, there is a two-zhang high square boulder, on which two Tsing Yi scribes are meditating, the scribe on the left is younger, about thirty years old, and looks extremely handsome, while the scribe on the right is older, looking nearly fifty years old, and looks more ordinary. Behind the two stood three younger Tsing Yi scribes.

Seeing this scene, Li Zhe probably guessed that this kind of dress of a scribe in Tsing Yi should be the uniform dress of the monks of Yunmeng Sect.

Regarding the situation in the cultivation realm, Li Zhe still had many questions in his heart that had not been resolved. Helplessly, Xu Xiangrui's task was completed, and he had to go back to his life.

After leading Li Zhe to the platform, he said goodbye to Li Zhe, and Li Zhe was not easy to stop, but expressed his gratitude to Xu Xiangrui for his care.

Xu Xiangrui clapped his hands, and some cyan points of light attached to his body, and his whole person immediately flew into the air, slowly floating towards the boulder. Xu Xiangrui's beautiful wind control technique made Li Zhe envious, and he couldn't help but think a little crankily, I don't know when I will be able to fly.

Landing on the boulder, Xu Xiangrui respectfully handed the Yunmeng Order received from Li Zhe to a meditating Tsing Yi scribe, and then walked behind him and stood still.

Seeing off Xu Xiangrui, Li Zhe's attention turned to the layout of the platform.

On the ground in the center of the platform, many lines are carved like a chessboard, forming a large circular pattern. Around the circular pattern, there are seven huge stone pillars that no three people can hold, and in the pattern, a grass futon is placed every meter or so. Although it was the first time he had seen it, Li Zhe also guessed that this should be the Soul Detection Array.

I was interested in asking someone to inquire, but looking around left and right, Li Zhe found that the children around him all looked nervous. Either he looked at the man in Tsing Yi on the stone platform with a solemn expression, or he was waiting for the test with his eyes closed, which made him embarrassed to bother.

The soul measurement ritual is a major event related to a lifetime, how can these children not be nervous. If the test result is no spirit root, then this life is destined to have no chance with the Great Dao, and you can only live a mortal life. If ordinary people don't know anything, it's nothing, but these children are all from the Xiuzhen family and already know about the existence of monks, then it will be very painful.

After waiting for more than an hour, several more children were brought to the platform one after another.

At noon, two Tsing Yi scribes who were meditating on the stone opened their eyes and stood up.

The Tsing Yi scribe on the left looked up at the sun and said to the Tsing Yi scribe on the right, "Senior Brother Lu, I see that the hour is almost up, let's start." ”

The Tsing Yi scribe on the right nodded and said, "Senior Brother Chen, let's start then." ”

With Senior Brother Lu's consent, Senior Brother Chen glanced at everyone in the audience, although he didn't make a sound, everyone's attention was immediately attracted to him. He ordered the people under the stone: "Friends, the hour is almost up, please enter the circle and find a seat to sit down." ”

The strength of the cultivation realm is respected, and how dare the many children under the stone disobey the order of a high-ranking monk, they hurriedly set off one after another, walked into the magic circle and sat down one by one.

Li Zhe also followed many children into the soul detection array, and found a futon with no one to sit cross-legged.
