"I am Deacon Fu Zhong, and I am also the most reputable businessman in Dachongshan. If you need me in the future, please choose Shengxian Pavilion."

"Next, everyone please follow me."

The young men got off the carriage and gathered together. A short, fat and wealthy middle-aged man received them.

This Fu Zhong is like a typical businessman. He is always slightly bent over and has a smiling and naive look on his face no matter who he is facing. But if you really look down on him for this reason, you will definitely suffer a great loss.

Jiang Li inadvertently threw over an identification spell.

As his strength increased, the danger level of those internal martial artists in the convoy had become "high".

But this Fu Zhong.

[Name: Fu Zhong, Gender: Male, Occupation: Monk, Level: Unknown, Danger Level: Extremely Dangerous! ]

Another bright red and extremely dangerous one, which meant that Jiang Li had absolutely no ability to resist in front of the opponent, and he didn't even have a chance to escape.

Being used to the indifference and arrogance of those warriors and even the leaders of the immortal cultivators, Fu Zhong clearly possesses the power to crush them easily, yet he can maintain such an attitude. It can only be said that he is worthy of being a businessman.

Fu Zhong led everyone through many twists and turns and soon arrived at a spacious room.

It is somewhat similar to the indoor playgrounds in previous lives, but it is built with only logs and mortise and tenon joints. This is also a testament to the powerful wisdom of the ancients.

The room was quite spacious, and the most eye-catching thing in front of him was the ten small magic circles lined up in a row.

[Name: Basic Spirit Testing Array]

[Type: Array]

[Grade: Yellow Grade Top Grade]

【Function: Spirit Detection】

"Listen to me, gentlemen and ladies. When you left your hometown, you were all tested for your spiritual roots."

"Now, we will conduct more detailed tests to determine the level of your spiritual roots. This will determine how far and how fast you can go on the path to immortality in the future."

"Listen carefully to what I say next. You only have one chance to be tested."

Fu Zhong's voice was not loud, but it could be clearly heard by everyone.

The somewhat riotous crowd soon quieted down, and the sound of swallowing saliva could be clearly heard.

Even Jiang Li couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Is it a start like the innate Taoist body Long Aotian style, or a start like the lowest level spiritual root waste style? This is the moment that decides fate.

"When I call your names, come up one by one."

"Wang Ming, Han Ping, Li Baichen, Hu Feifei..."

The first group of ten people stepped forward and stood apart with some trepidation.

"Come, sit on the cushion in this formation, cross your legs and keep your back straight."

The ten teenagers did as they were told. If some of their movements were not quite right, assistants next to them would come forward to correct them.

"Okay, now hold up the glass bead in front of you with your palms facing each other."

It was a translucent bead the size of a coconut and looked a bit heavy.

"Next, close your eyes and don't move. Hold the Spirit Testing Pearl tightly. Don't let go no matter what. Remember, you can't come down until I tell you to!"

Seeing the boys and girls nod seriously, Fu Zhong nodded to the assistants standing beside the magic circle.

"Let's get started."

The assistants followed instructions and took out a spirit stone, pressing it on the gap in the formation on the ground.

The next moment, the formation seemed to light up with fluorescent light, and the boys and girls sitting on the cushions seemed to be stimulated by something and began to tremble slightly.

No wonder there is no second chance. Each test consumes a spirit stone. If you make a mistake, Shengxian Pavilion will obviously not reimburse you.

After two or three minutes, Jiang Li noticed that the spirit-detecting beads in their hands began to slowly light up.

The colors of the light vary, and the speed at which it lights up varies.

About nine minutes later, or less than ten minutes later, the spirit-detecting bead in one of the young men's hands seemed to have reached its limit. It suddenly flashed and then went out.

"Li Baichen, a top-grade earth attribute spiritual root!"

The assistant next to him looked obviously happy. After shouting, he quickly carved a wooden sign and hung it around the boy's neck.

Fu Zhong personally stepped forward to help Li Baichen up, and even helped him tidy up his clothes. He was very friendly, which made the other party feel flattered.

"Little brother, you have very good qualifications. When you choose a sect, you might as well consider our Shengxian Pavilion."

Li Baichen originally did not have much presence in the convoy. He had been a follower of Li Chao, who had died on the road. Later, he became more obedient after being beaten by Jiang Li.

Unexpectedly, he detected a superior spiritual root at this time. He was overjoyed and stood aside with his head held high, looking proud.

Jiang Li noticed that the other party glanced at him from time to time. He didn't know what was in his mind. After being glared back by him, he pretended to turn away casually.

There is no doubt that the other party is considering revenge.

Except for Li Baichen, the performance of others was obviously much worse.

Only two people filled up the spirit-testing balls in more than twenty minutes and were given a sign of middle-grade spirit roots.

The remaining seven people were in an even worse situation. After two quarters of an hour, or thirty minutes, the energy in the spirit stones was exhausted, the formation was completely extinguished, and the spirit-measuring balls in their hands were not filled up.

From the attitudes of others, they obviously realized that something was wrong. Their lack of qualifications would make their future path to becoming an immortal full of difficulties.

They all stood aside and looked unhappy.

After several rounds of testing, Jiang Li roughly summarized the criteria for judging different spiritual roots based on observation.

Excluding some rare special physiques in the world, the world of immortal cultivation roughly divides spiritual roots into five levels.

Top-grade spiritual roots: fill up the spirit ball within three minutes.

Top-grade spiritual roots: fill up the spirit ball within ten minutes.

Medium-grade spiritual roots: Fill up the spirit ball within thirty minutes.

Low-grade spiritual roots: After thirty minutes, the spiritual measuring ball will be filled to more than one third.

Poor quality spiritual roots: After thirty minutes, the spiritual measuring ball is less than one third full.

Judging from the attitudes of the people inside Shengxian Pavilion, the gap between each grade is huge.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

In addition, there are spiritual roots with dual attributes or even multiple attributes. Although this kind of talent is not as good as higher-grade spiritual roots that directly accelerate cultivation, it can also be of great help to cultivators.

Waited for two more rounds of testing.

"Cai Dezhong, Gu Zhiping, Qiao Jiaju, Yan Fengyue, Yan Hong, ... Jiang Li."

It's finally my turn! When the time came, even Jiang Li seemed to have returned to the mood when he checked his college entrance examination results, and he was even more nervous.

After all, you can still work hard on your own for the college entrance examination, but this aptitude test is entirely up to fate.

Yan Hong next to him was not much better than him. His upper and lower teeth began to chatter from nervousness.

They walked forward together, lined up and sat on the cushions according to Fu Zhong's instructions.

Only then did Jiang Li have the opportunity to observe the formation patterns on the ground up close.

The patterns were intertwined in an extremely mysterious way, and there seemed to be a special pattern between the lines, but the feeling was very strange and astringent. After only looking at it for a moment, I felt dizzy, so I quickly focused and closed my eyes, then I slowly came to my senses.

"Hold up the spirit ball, palms facing each other!"

Jiang Li stopped caring about other things and did as he was told.

The translucent spirit-measuring ball feels warm and not heavy to the touch, and it seems not to be completely solid.

After closing his eyes and waiting for a moment, he suddenly felt that the air around him seemed to become clearer. With every breath, streams of cold air flowed into his pores and circulated throughout his body.

He now understood why everyone who sat on it would tremble all over. This kind of stimulation coming from inside the body was truly hard to suppress.

But soon, he discovered that the cold air was attracted by something and flowed towards the palms of his hands.

No need to guess, that's the spirit ball.

It turns out that the spirit-testing ritual uses a formation to draw out the spiritual energy within the spirit stone, then introduce it into the subject's body, and finally extract it and display it using the spirit-testing beads.

And depending on each person's spiritual root qualifications, the speed of absorbing spiritual energy will vary greatly, and these differences will be fully reflected in the spirit bead.

But is his speed fast or slow?

Jiang Li had no way to judge, he could only use his consciousness to guide and see if he could make the flow of spiritual energy a little faster.

Slowly, dots of fluorescence appeared in the pitch-black field of vision, and the fluorescence aggregated together, becoming clearer and brighter.

Finally, a picture formed in front of Jiang Li.

A cold full moon hangs in the sky, casting faint moonlight, and below it stands an ancient tree with lush branches and leaves quietly.

"Yan Hong, a top-grade water-attribute spiritual root!"

Just then, an assistant announced loudly.

Then, that fat guy Yan Hong started to laugh arrogantly.

"Haha, this young master is indeed a genius! Don't be afraid, Jiang Li, I will protect you from now on!"

Jiang Li could imagine the other party's smug expression even with his eyes closed.

He pouted helplessly and cursed the fat guy in his heart.

Then, before he could count to more than a hundred, another announcement sounded.

"Jiang Li, a middle-grade spiritual root with dual attributes of Yin and Wood!"

Jiang Li opened his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief. This result already satisfied him.

Although it is a mid-grade spiritual root, in fact, based on the time it takes to fill the spirit ball, it is only less than two minutes slower than Yan Hong, and is considered the best among the mid-grade spiritual roots.

Moreover, he has dual-attribute spiritual roots, which can add a lot of extra points. This aptitude is already better than 90% of the people in the world of cultivation.

At this time, Fu Zhong, who had just finished talking to Yan Hong, his eyes lit up. He immediately ran to Jiang Li and helped him up with his chubby big hands.

"The young man's name is Jiang Li, right? He's really good! He's very handsome and has a bright future ahead of him."

"It's such a pity. You are only a dozen breaths away from having a top-grade spiritual root, but the rules are the rules. If you exceed the time limit, you can only be considered a mid-grade spiritual root. I can't help you. And young man, you have dual-attribute spiritual roots. It's a pity."
