Chapter 172: Training manpower, it turns out that the lady is really a god!
Xiao Ying had no interest in unifying the four countries. Her goal had never changed, which was to build a sect of her own.
She has no interest in power and does not want to be an emperor. She just wants to practice peacefully and explore the great way.
Of course, it would be even better if we could find our way back.
"How do immortal cultivation families select people with spiritual roots?" She changed the subject.
Xiao Tian replied, "Usually, they are selected from children, but the process is rather complicated. It requires infusing spiritual energy into the person's body and allowing it to flow along the meridians. If they have spiritual roots, they will be able to sense it."
Xiao Ying thought to herself that this was almost the same as before she had spirit stones. It seemed that there was no such thing as spirit stones in this world.
"So how many spiritual roots will be cultivated? What spiritual roots do you have?"
"The rules of the Dark Night Pavilion are that those with three spiritual roots or less are allowed to do so. My subordinate has dual spiritual roots of fire and wood, so I was taught the techniques and spells of these two attributes."
really!
Xiao Ying was not surprised at all. This was similar to the selection rules in the world of immortal cultivation in his previous life, which was that the fewer spiritual roots, the better.
Although the strength will be weaker at the same level, the cultivation speed in Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment and Golden Core Stage is faster.
This is the wisest and safest approach when resources are limited.
"Come here."
She took out the spirit-testing stone and placed it on the table, letting Xiao Tian put his hand on it.
Although Xiao Tian didn't understand why, he still did as he was told.
Then, seven lines lit up. Xiao Tian was stunned for a moment before he realized that this was a magic weapon.
"Not bad, Fire Spiritual Root 56, Wood Spiritual Root 52."
Xiao Ying saw the number above and nodded with satisfaction.
If you take the spiritual grass once, the fire spirit root may be able to be upgraded to 59.
Xiao Tian's eyes widened instantly, he was in disbelief and swallowed excitedly.
What is this thing? Not only can it measure his spiritual roots, it can even measure the specific value!
He dared to say that even the Yu family didn't have such a thing! Who is the master?!
"Master, this is..."
"This is a spirit-testing stone." Xiao Ying said casually, ignoring his shock, and waved for the other four to come forward.
Xiao Xing and the other three were extremely excited. Was their master going to help them test whether they had spiritual roots?
"Master, can we also test it?"
“Try them all.”
"yes."
The four of them immediately obediently placed their hands on it one by one, each with anticipation in their eyes.
It's a pity that they have no spiritual roots, and none of them has reached level 49. Even if they are nourished with spiritual spring water every day, the result is hard to predict.
In fact, this is normal. This is the case for most adults, and as they age, the blockage of their spiritual roots will become more severe.
The four of them felt a little disappointed when they learned they had no spiritual roots, but they quickly calmed down. Wasn't this something they had known for a long time? What were they expecting?
"Lingyun, call Kang Ruolan, He Changgui and the others in." Xiao Ying suddenly ordered.
"Madam, do you want them to take the test as well?" Ling Yun's mind moved.
"Yeah." Xiao Ying's face was calm, but his eyes were sharp. "What happened tonight was the first time, but it will definitely not be the last."
"Since they have already been exposed to the tip of the iceberg of this world, I might as well tell them everything."
As a servant of the house, you must at least be able to protect yourself.
"Yes, I'll call them in right away." Ling Yun looked serious. The master still cared about his subordinates.
Soon, Kang Ruolan and the other twelve people all entered the main hall, including Yu Yejin and several other children.
Everyone was dressed neatly and even had their hair combed, obviously having not slept since a while ago.
"Madam, what can I do for you?"
Kang Ruolan looked at Xiao Ying calmly, her intuition telling her that it was related to what had just happened.
"You all know what happened tonight. Are you scared?"
Xiao Ying glanced at everyone one by one, and was not surprised to find that everyone's expressions were different, some were afraid, some were calm, and some were fearless.
But no matter how they behaved, they all said in unison: "Don't be afraid."
"Don't lie to yourself. There's no shame in admitting you're afraid." Xiao Ying paused, then added, "What happened tonight is likely to happen again. I'm giving you two choices."
"One is to stay and I will help you improve your strength. If you have spiritual roots, you can also practice with me."
"Second, I will send you to the mountains to farm. As long as you don't reveal my affairs to anyone, that's all."
Everyone's expression changed slightly. Is this a test for them, Madam?
During the time they were bought back, they lived a happy life that they had never dared to imagine before, and never wanted to go back to the old days.
But what happened tonight did make them feel scared. What if the lady couldn't stop it next time? Would they be killed together?
The two options given by the lady were very considerate of them. Staying could improve their strength, and leaving would also allow them to farm. Both seemed good.
But in the end, no one chose to leave.
"Madam bought us all and gave us such a comfortable life. So even if we die, we will die here. Please don't drive us away."
Kang Ruolan looked solemn, and suddenly knelt on the ground with a firm gaze.
"Please, ma'am, don't chase us away."
The others also knelt down and said in unison that they all wanted to stay.
Chen Xinghai and the others looked at each other, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled with some relief.
They certainly don't want to abandon their servants when they encounter difficulties. Regardless of whether these people are sincere or not, at least they have chosen them now.
Xiao Ying nodded in satisfaction: "In that case, come over and test your spiritual roots."
Seeing the confusion on everyone's faces, she gave a brief explanation of spiritual roots and cultivation, which shocked everyone and left them stunned.
It turns out that the lady is really a fairy, and they actually followed a fairy!
Thinking of their previous choice, they were extremely grateful that they had not done anything wrong, otherwise they would have missed this great opportunity.
Unfortunately, none of these twelve people had spiritual roots.
Everyone felt regretful and embarrassed. They were so useless that they didn't even have any spiritual roots.
Xiao Ying consoled him, "It's okay if you don't have spiritual roots. You can use the spiritual spring water to nourish and cleanse your body. I'll also give you a crown initiation. This way, your strength will be at least as strong as three or four adults, and your martial arts training will be much more effective."
Upon hearing this, Kang Ruolan and the others' eyes lit up. How could someone become so powerful without any spiritual roots?
Especially women and children, who are naturally weak. If they can become so strong, they will never have to worry about being bullied again.
"Thank you, Madam, for your grace!"
Everyone knelt down again to express their gratitude, feeling extremely excited.
He Changgui, who had been on the battlefield, was so excited that his cheeks flushed. If he had this ability back then, his leg would not have been injured, and he might have been promoted to centurion.
But now my future is brighter with my wife. I never thought that I would have such an opportunity after living half my life.
Xiao Ying did this to train more people.
A sect of immortal cultivation cannot have only monks. There are also many ordinary people doing odd jobs to keep it running, and Kang Ruolan and his servants are the best targets.
