Chapter 84 Spirit Testing Stone
However, Zhou Jianguo eventually came up with a solution: a vote.
First, the brigade will set some registration criteria, such as age, gender, physical condition, etc. For example, the job of watching the chicken coop at night will require two men to take turns on duty.
For the time being, Ningxuan will hire another older woman to help with feeding the chickens and cleaning the chicken coop.
After everyone has registered, the team will first screen out those who don't meet the requirements and are trying to get away with it, and then arrange a vote for the remaining people.
In the end, Zhou Yougen and Zhou Dahu were the ones who successfully got the job of looking after the chicken coop, while Aunt Ge was the one who cleaned the chicken coop.
Of course, Zhou Jianguo also had to reassure those who didn't get a spot, saying, "If the chicken farm can be set up, we'll need more and more helpers in the future. If we need to recruit people again next time, we'll just choose from this list."
Based on the voting results, we'll select from most to least popular candidates, so please be patient and wait for the next recruitment round.
The team members were actually conflicted. On the one hand, they felt that running a chicken farm was not easy and would most likely fail. On the other hand, they hoped that it would succeed, because having a farm in the brigade would really improve everyone's living conditions.
And so, the Hongxing Brigade's chicken farm began to have its first batch of employees.
Because the scale is small, only this many people are needed for the time being. After Lu Xun and the others finished helping to dismantle the chicken coop, they resumed work.
Ning Xuan painted a rosy picture for them, saying, "Once the chicken farm grows bigger, I'll recruit you all. Lu Xun and Zhou Zhipeng, you'll develop the business and contact buyers. We'll sell eggs and chicken, and the supply and marketing cooperative probably won't be able to handle so much of our stock. We'll need to expand our customer base."
"Jiajia, you could work as a data recorder or something; it's an easy job."
Xu Jiajia laughed, "You're showing favoritism, aren't you afraid people will say you're being biased?"
"Don't worry, I'll definitely have a legitimate reason then," Ning Xuan said confidently.
However, she will no longer be able to go to work with her friends, breaking the pattern of educated youth going out in groups.
Therefore, Ning Xuan suddenly realized that she needed even stronger combat skills to better protect herself.
She has already acquired great strength, but everything else is still external. What if one day she can no longer use these external forces?
So we still need to make ourselves stronger.
She first asked Lin Yuhan to help her download videos of military boxing, because she wanted to learn martial arts.
She then went to Yunxi to ask if she had any tools that would allow her to test whether she had spiritual roots.
Yunxi had just finished her cultivation for the day and quickly replied to Ningxuan's message:
You can first use a spirit-testing stone to see if you have a spiritual root. If you have a spiritual root, the spirit-testing stone will emit light, and each color represents a type of spiritual root.
Once it is confirmed that one has a spiritual root, the purity of the spiritual root can be further tested using a spirit testing plate. Because the spirit testing plate is relatively expensive, it is generally only available to sects or cultivation families.
However, spirit stones can be bought at the market, and they're not expensive. I'll go out and buy you one right now.
Half an hour later, Ning Xuan received the spirit-testing stone that Yun Xi had sent her. It was a pure black stone the size of an egg, and it was very smooth.
The stone felt a little cool. Following Yunxi's instructions, Ningxuan held the stone in her hand and carefully felt the changes in it.
In about 5 or 6 seconds, Ning Xuan felt the spirit-testing stone change from cold to warm. At this moment, Ning Xuan opened her hands with her palms facing up.
The spirit-testing stone in the palm emitted two distinct beams of light, one blue and one green, a dopamine-infused color scheme that looked particularly beautiful.
More importantly, this means she has spiritual roots!
Ning Xuan was overjoyed. She actually had spiritual roots and could cultivate! Hahaha!
She quickly told Yunxi the news, and Yunxi was very happy for her.
You have both water and wood spiritual roots, but I can't test the purity of those roots for you yet.
But that's alright. Once you've drawn the Qi into your body, you'll know which type of spiritual Qi you're more compatible with. A higher compatibility corresponds to a higher purity of spiritual root. When you're choosing a spell or cultivation technique, just prioritize that type of spiritual root.
I'll give you a basic cultivation technique for beginners first. This one can guide you from Qi Induction to the late Trial Stage, and then you can switch to advanced techniques during the Foundation Establishment Stage. I'll find you spell techniques after you've achieved Qi Induction.
Yunxi sent Ningxuan the cultivation enlightenment and basic techniques from Yunlan Continent, which are similar to those in elementary school, and also explained to Ningxuan in detail how to meditate, breathe, and draw qi into the body.
Yunxi thoughtfully gave Ningxuan a low-level spirit-gathering array. Since Ningxuan had nothing else to give in return, she offered her the novel and some delicious food.
Yunxi said that Ningxuan's dual spiritual roots were quite good, but she didn't know the concentration of spiritual energy in her world, as the concentration of spiritual energy would directly affect her cultivation speed.
Ning Xuan can't feel the Qi entering her body yet, but with the spirit-gathering array and spirit stones sponsored by Yun Xi, she should be close to achieving it.
Ning Xuan is currently in charge of raising chickens on the mountain. After she finishes feeding the chickens and cleaning, she will use the excuse of going to the mountains to find food for the chicks and then go to the mountains to meditate and cultivate.
For safety reasons, she would activate the bewildering array plate every time she meditated in the mountains.
She later asked Yunxi for the bewildering array plate, and Yunxi generously gave her several other array plates that were convenient for her to use, including bewildering array plates, defensive array plates, and minor five elements trapping arrays. She had been keeping these in her storage ring, but now she could use the bewildering array plate again.
Despite Yunxi's guidance and the assistance of the Spirit Gathering Array, Ning Xuan still took a whole week to successfully draw Qi into her body. She felt it was very slow and was somewhat worried that she didn't have any talent in cultivation and could only make up for it with hard work.
However, Yunxi told her that this speed was actually very fast. In their area, many people with poor aptitude only managed to draw in Qi into their bodies in two or three months, and it took them a year to reach the first level of Qi Refining.
Most ordinary cultivators are considered qualified if they can successfully draw Qi into their bodies within a month, so Ning Xuan's ability to draw Qi into her body in just a few days, while not exactly a gifted talent, is still within the excellent range.
After listening to Yunxi's explanation, Ningxuan felt confident in herself again.
However, after Ning Xuan was able to sense spiritual energy by drawing qi into her body, she discovered that the concentration of spiritual energy in her current plane was relatively low, especially in places where people gathered, where the spiritual energy was very thin and almost non-existent.
The spiritual energy was slightly better on the mountain, and with the help of Yunxi's spirit-gathering array, she was able to draw energy into her body within a week. Without the spirit-gathering array, Ning Xuan doubted that she might not be able to draw energy into her body even after a month.
However, the Spirit Gathering Array is a luxury item that consumes a lot of spirit stones, and the bag of spirit stones that Yunxi gave her was being used up at a rate of one stone every two days.
Ning Xuan has already started to worry about her future cultivation resources.
