Chapter 71 Qualification and Foundation Building

"There are seven attributes of spiritual roots, namely gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind and thunder. Each attribute is good at different things. For example, fire spiritual roots have advantages in refining equipment and alchemy, while wind spiritual roots and thunder spiritual roots are more suitable in combat." Senior Brother Fang briefly introduced the characteristics of spiritual roots and ignored others.

"For details, you can look up the brochure yourself. You two follow me."

Senior Brother Fang stood up, collected the books on the table, and left with the two geniuses, a man and a woman.

The other miscellaneous disciples with five to seven spiritual roots also dispersed, leaving only about twenty people in the field.

"Brother, this is for you."

Xie Shuang was also among these twenty or so people. She just went over to the table and took a booklet and gave one to Chen Luo as well.

Of the seven people who came with them, except for Du De who was pushed back because of his age, the remaining five people all had medium spiritual roots. Xie Shuang and Chen Luo both had three spiritual roots, while Du Jian and the other three had four spiritual roots.

Unlucky Brother Dude is in a miserable situation. Not only is he old, but his aptitude is also limited to five spiritual roots, which makes him a waste to start with.

"Let's go back to the cabin first."

Chen Luo took the booklet and flipped through it, and found that it described the exercises suitable for various spiritual roots, and also recommended the main peak they should choose.

"We'll go back first."

Du Jian and the other two hurried back.

Their eldest brother Du De was too poorly qualified to even get a copy of the book. They had to hurry back to tell their eldest brother the news to prevent him from feeling upset.

Return to the cabin.

Chen Luo discovered that the room Feizhou assigned to him had changed.

The previously small room has now become much larger, the spiritual energy inside the room is also a bit richer than before, and there is a gem on the wall that emits soft light.

"Is this a redivision of treatment based on qualifications and attributes?"

Chen Luo glanced at the water drop mark on his chest, and his understanding of the Shenhu Immortal Sect deepened.

Cold system.

Elimination rule based on qualifications first.

"Brother, can I come in?"

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Chen Luo walked over and opened the door.

There were eight people standing outside the door, including Xie Shuang, Du De and the other five people, and three others.

Two men and one woman.

Chen Luo had noticed these three people before. The two men were ordinary people with four spiritual roots, but the woman was miserable. Her qualifications were six spiritual roots, which were even worse than those of Senior Brother Dude. She had five elements and blue wind spiritual roots, and was definitely a top-level waste.

"These three people are from the same place as us, so we can communicate with each other."

Dude had adjusted his mood by now, and started to introduce himself with a smile.

The six of them were from Heishan Village, and the three of them were from Chayuan Village, not far from Heishan Village. They came to such a far place together, so naturally they would stick together. The other young disciples were also like them, sticking together according to their hometowns. This situation was the same as that of the students who had just entered school, it was human instinct.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, right? My name is Xia Kun, I have four spiritual roots, and I will enter the Immortal Sect in the future. We should take care of each other."

The leading man introduced himself with a smile, and it seemed that they already knew each other before coming over.

"Zhang Dingchao, four-attribute spiritual roots."

"My name is Ning Ling, and I have six spiritual roots."

The remaining two people also introduced themselves, especially the female cultivator, who was obviously a little depressed when she talked about her qualifications.

Chen Luo was not optimistic about their spontaneous grouping. There was no point in getting to know each other for a few rookies who didn't even know what a sect of immortal cultivation looked like. They might be separated as soon as they entered the sect, and they would never have the chance to meet again in this life.

"Chen Luo, three-attribute spiritual root."

After responding briefly, Chen Luo didn't intend to say anything more.

He could tell that Dude and the others came to see him, probably because they had something to say.

"A genius with three spiritual roots, he may have the opportunity to become a foundation-building immortal cultivator and a true immortal cultivator in the future."

In She Country, cultivators in the Qi Refining Realm are not uncommon.

The man and woman who came to Baiyu City before, the forces behind them are the Xiuxian families. The ancestors of these Xiuxian families are old-generation Qi-refining cultivators eliminated by Shenhu Xianmen. Most of them have the strength of the middle stage of Qi-refining, and some powerful ones have even reached the late stage of Qi-refining.

In this kind of environment, anyone who is qualified will have more or less come into contact with Qi-refining cultivators, so the sense of mystery will naturally not be so strong.

But it is different for foundation-building cultivators.

In the cultivation system of Shenhu Xianmen, building the foundation is called the real immortal cultivation, and it is the symbol of the separation between immortals and mortals.

The life span of a foundation-building cultivator is 500 years. They can fly with a sword, travel a thousand miles a day, and kill people a thousand miles away. Their magical powers are even more mysterious. Every foundation-building cultivator is an elder of the Shenhu Immortal Sect, enjoying supreme authority and being the ruling class of the sect.

When walking outside, everyone respectfully addresses the foundation-building immortal cultivators as immortal masters, while the Qi training cultivators are mostly addressed as seniors, adults, etc. This shows the difference between the two!

In the Three Kingdoms region, all those who possess spiritual roots dream of establishing an immortal foundation and embarking on the supreme immortal path!

"Three spiritual roots give you the chance to build a foundation?"

When the topic of foundation building was mentioned, Dude and the others instantly became excited.

As geniuses who came out of the tomb, they all have the dream of becoming immortals.

"I was just saying it casually."

When asked by Dude, Xia Kun, who was speaking, suddenly felt embarrassed.

How would he know what it was like to be a foundation-building immortal cultivator?

“There is a chance, but it’s slim.”

Ning Ling, the female cultivator with the worst qualifications among the three, spoke up.

Her background was the best among the three. When she was a child, she had come into contact with many elderly Qi-refining masters who had retired from the Shenhu Xianmen. During their conversations, she inadvertently heard some rumors about foundation building.

"There are thirteen levels in the Qi Refining Realm. The first three levels are easy and can be reached as long as you practice hard. But from the fourth level onwards, practice becomes more difficult."

In the Qi Refining Realm, the fourth stage of Qi Refining is called 'Sightseeing'. It is the true beginning of enlightenment and is also called the middle stage of Qi Refining.

Before the third level of Qi Refining, at most they could use some small spells, and their actual strength would not be much different from that of ordinary warriors. If they were not careful, they would be killed by the Grandmaster's sneak attack. But after the fourth level of Qi Refining, it was different. Ordinary warriors would no longer pose any threat to cultivators at this level.

After the middle stage of Qi Refining, the cultivator's body will further merge with the spiritual energy, forming a cycle in the body, and the spiritual energy will form a never-ending line. The perception of the world will be greatly improved, and any "light" that is not beneficial to them will be perceived in advance.

"The fourth level of Qi Refining is the first threshold in cultivation. A person with medium spiritual roots needs at least three years of cultivation to reach this level. The medium spiritual roots I'm talking about are three-attribute spiritual roots. If it's a four-attribute spiritual root, it will take five years. Similarly, a five-attribute spiritual root will take seven years, and a six-attribute spiritual root will take at least ten years."

By the end of his speech, Ning Ling's face turned pale.

Obviously, she didn't expect that her aptitude would be a six-attribute spiritual root.

This meant that her future was almost cut off.

Du De beside him also looked unhappy. When he was in Yue Kingdom, everyone was very watery. As long as he could enter the Dao, he was considered a "genius". But after he came out, he found that his genius seemed to be a little too watery. He had five-attribute spiritual roots, and his aptitude was only slightly better than Ning Ling. According to this calculation, he would need at least seven years to reach the middle stage of Qi Refining. This was under the condition of everything going well. If something unexpected happened, this time would be extended.

If the fourth level of Qi Refining is like this, what about the seventh level of Qi Refining? The difficulty of the late stage of Qi Refining is definitely higher than that of the middle stage of Qi Refining.

“Does the speed of time matter?”

Chen Luo frowned. He didn't like this woman very much.

People who give up before they even start are destined to achieve little.

"Of course it's important. The younger you are, the greater the possibility of successfully building your foundation. Before fifty and after fifty are two different concepts!"

Chen Luo's tone seemed to irritate her, and Ning Ling's tone became a little heavier.

She didn't want to give up either.

But her qualifications were so hopeless, what could she do!
