Ordinary people followed the prestige, and saw that the person who spoke was wearing an apricot yellow robe, with pale beard, but he was a long-bearded old Taoist in his sixties. Next to Lao Dao, there were six monks sitting on the left and right, both Taoist and customary, and they were all elders with extremely high seniority. Shen Tianhe pulled the sleeves of Pingping's shirt and said in a low voice: "Pingfan, why don't you come to meet the seniors?" Hearing this, Pingfan let out an "oh", knelt down to the seven people, and kowtowed respectfully three times.

Shen Tianhe took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "Brother Huizhang, this little friend was rescued by me on the way back to the mountain. I saw that the boy had a poor background, so I brought him back. If any of his fellow disciples does not give up, he may as well be taken under the door, and he will not be in vain to go up the mountain. As he spoke, he waved to the seven.

The seven of them listened, and they all looked at the ordinary. It was only a blink of an eye, and the seven of them came back to their senses one after another. In everyone's hearts, there was such a thought at the same time: "This kid has such stupid qualifications, but how can he be my disciple?" It's just that everyone here is a person with deep cultivation, not only does it break it with words, but even on everyone's face, there is no half contempt on it. It's just that none of these seven people have any intention of accepting apprentices, but they can also see it at a glance.

After a while, I only heard the palm sect cough lightly, and said with a smile: "Third junior brother, since this child has crossed the Tongtian Bridge, he is my Shangqing disciple." It's just that the law of the ancestors cannot be abolished, so early tomorrow morning, you will take him with you to take the entrance test with other new disciples. No matter how talented you are, you can count it as your subordinate. When Shen Tianhe heard this, he was slightly stunned, and finally responded, leading the ordinary to turn around and leave the hall.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bodhi Temple, ashram.

In fact, the so-called ashram is a place where the qualifications of beginner disciples are tested. In the quiet room, there is a large mahogany chair. The one who tested their qualifications was the bald old man sitting in a chair. This old man is about sixty years old, and his smiling demeanor is very kind. Beside the old man, there were three leading disciples standing on the left and right. Ordinary followed the brigade, step by step.

After a few moments, the line gradually stopped. I only heard the disciple say, "Ladies and gentlemen, you have all passed the introductory test through various means. Next, there is the second test of the course, talent. After a pause, he continued:

"Cultivating the truth, hard work and diligence are of course extremely important, but the level of qualification is also very related to the final achievement. Okay, let's start with Senior Brother Lu Tianshu now. With that, he retreated.

"No. 1, Lu Tianshu!"

"Gold, wood, water and soil, four spirit roots, general!"

"No. 2, Chen Yi!"

"Water, wood, earth, three spirit roots, ordinary!"

"Number three, Mu Sichen!"

"Water, fire, earth, wind, four spirit roots, general!" ......

At the moment of the test, a very thin and very light voice suddenly sounded in the room and asked, "Senior brother, what is a spiritual root?" Then I heard a person next to me say:

"The so-called spiritual root is the foundation of cultivation. All living beings have spiritual roots, so no matter people or animals, even flowers and trees, as long as there is a trace of spiritual roots, they all have the opportunity to cultivate into immortals. We humans are the spirits of all things, and the spiritual roots are naturally the best of all living beings. Therefore, the cultivation speed is also the fastest among all species. And these many spiritual roots are divided into castes such as metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, and thunder. The human body has five internal organs, the heart belongs to fire, the liver belongs to wood, the spleen belongs to earth, the kidneys belong to water, the lungs belong to gold, and the dark alloy wood, water, fire, and earth have five elements. Therefore, among these spiritual roots, the five elements spiritual roots are the mainstay. ”

I only heard the senior brother say again: "The spiritual root is like a bloodline, the purer it is, the more noble it is. Therefore, according to the type of spiritual root, there are three kinds of spiritual roots: heavenly spiritual roots, earth spiritual roots, and special spiritual roots. ”

"The so-called Heavenly Spiritual Root refers to a single, or dual surname spiritual root. If it is a single caste, there is another name, which is called the root of the Holy Spirit. It means that this kind of spiritual root cultivation immortal is the most easy, not to mention that forming a golden pill is a broken pill into a baby, and it is also very easy, almost without effort. It's just that there is no one in ten thousand like such a genius. ”

"And the spiritual root of the earth is usually referred to as the three spiritual roots above the caste, if you talk about such characters, it is a car bucket, incalculable. Like the ones we just tested, it's all there. Among the earth spirit roots, there is another extremely rare one, the five elements spirit roots are complete, it seems to be very complete, but in fact, it is the most useless one among all the spirit roots. ”

"May I ask Senior Brother, why is it that the more spiritual roots, the worse the qualifications?"

"The junior brother is asking the right person. When the senior brother heard this, his face became a little more proud, and he continued: "In fact, a person's spiritual root belongs to the surname, which basically determines the direction and type of spells that the person learns. An ordinary person's lifespan is no more than 100 years, and time and energy have their limits. This is just like ordinary people doing learning, the more concentrated they are, the more distracted they are, the higher their achievements will naturally be. Therefore, the fewer spiritual roots there are, the more effective it will be to cultivate. For example, a single water spirit root is suitable for cultivating water spells, and it has the fastest cultivation speed and the highest achievement. With a fire spirit root, it is naturally suitable for cultivating fire-based spells, and if you practice other types of spells, you can do it, but the progress will reduce the effect. Therefore, the fewer spiritual roots, the fewer types of spells learned, and naturally, it is easiest to learn to be pure. ”

"As for the special spiritual roots, that is the collective name of all spiritual roots other than the five element spiritual roots. Including, wind, thunder and so on. This kind of spiritual root is relatively rare, and I don't know much about it. ”

The two of them were whispering to themselves, and suddenly they only listened to the roll call of the disciples:

"Forty-three, ordinary!"

Ordinary understood it, and hurriedly stepped forward and walked in front of the old man. When the old man saw him, he waved his hand and smiled, "Don't be afraid, stand here." Pingfan nodded, and walked to the old man's side. The old man stretched out his right hand and gently pressed it on the top of the ordinary head.

"Gold, wood, water, fire, earth, waste spirit roots!" the old man opened his eyes and shook his head. Everyone was stunned for a moment, as if in disbelief. Then they all opened their mouths wide and burst out laughing. A few people pointed at his nose and scolded: "Waste, get out!" "Yes, get out, get out!" Pingfan gritted his teeth and slowly walked out the door.

"From now on, Pingfan will be listed as a fourth-class disciple, and the treatment will be the same as that of miscellaneous servants!" said the bald old man with a cold face. It seemed that even he was ashamed to detect such a piece of waste.

"Wait!"

At this moment, in the quiet room, a person quietly walked in!
