Li Shiming and nine young men walked into Qingqiu Pavilion, where a young monk was waiting.
"Hello, my name is Zhu Ji, and I'm your instructor. Please introduce yourselves first!" said the instructor named Zhu Ji with a smile.
Following Zhu Ji's signal, the young men began to introduce themselves, and Li Shiming followed suit and said his name.
"It is my duty to guide you. In the next three months, I will stay here for two hours every morning. During this period, you can ask me any questions you have. This is also a benefit for newcomers. After the three-month rookie period, you will no longer have such an opportunity.
If you have any questions after three months, you will need to make an equivalent exchange to get an answer. I hope you cherish these three months.
Before I take you to receive the main cultivation method, I will first tell you the basic knowledge of cultivators." Zhu Ji's voice was clearly heard by everyone.
Everyone understood how important Zhu Ji’s next explanation was, as it might very well affect the monks’ careers, so they all focused.
"The fighting styles of monks are divided into two types: close combat and ranged combat. Close combat monks usually practice physical training techniques, using their own strength and speed, relying on strong defense and magic weapons to suppress the enemy at close range.
Long-range combat monks rely on long-range magic weapons, spells, talismans, etc. as their main means of attack. Most monks will choose this way of fighting because as long as they keep a distance, they can attack or defend.
According to their occupational classification, cultivators can be divided into combat and auxiliary types. The most famous combat type is the sword cultivator, who can fight at long range or close range with powerful strength, and is known to break all magic with one sword.
The auxiliary categories include alchemists, talisman makers, spirit plant farmers, etc. These professions are often just secondary jobs. Monks rarely give up fighting, because in the world of immortal cultivation, they need to have combat capabilities to survive.
It is your freedom to decide what kind of cultivator you want to be, and the sect will not interfere with this.
Your spiritual roots have been checked at the Ascension Conference, but the conditions there are still far inferior to the spiritual testing array in this Qingqiu Pavilion. Here you can clearly know the value of each of your spiritual roots, which is the most important reference for you to choose your main practice.
Don't tell other cultivators about your spiritual root values. This will be a secret for your whole life. It is related to the direction of your cultivation, the property requirements of magic tools and resources, and the resources for your final promotion to the foundation-building stage." Zhu Ji said, staring at the young men with a sharp gaze.
The boys still didn't quite understand what he was talking about, but they knew that what Zhu Ji had told them must be extremely important.
"You all enter the magic circle in front one by one, and remember the values of your spiritual roots. After you have the values of your spiritual roots, you can decide for yourself, or you can consult me on how to choose a method!" Zhu Ji waved his hand and said after seeing that the young people understood.
In the center of Qingqiu Pavilion, a magic circle wrapped in white light appeared.
The other teenagers were still watching, and Li Shiming was the first to walk into the white light.
As soon as he entered the white light, he felt his whole body being penetrated by the white light rising from under his feet, and every cell in his body seemed to be scanned thoroughly.
He had a feeling that this magic array was not only used to detect the value of spiritual roots, but also had the effect of detecting new disciples.
He was afraid that his computer room would be discovered by the magic circle, but fortunately, what he worried about did not happen.
This also allowed him to confirm the connection between the computer room space and him, which could not be discovered by ordinary cultivation methods.
"Gold Spiritual Root: 81,
Fire Spiritual Root: 11,
Wood Spiritual Roots: 8."
The magic array transmitted a message to him, allowing him to understand the value of his spiritual roots.
He walked out of the spirit-detecting array in a daze. If Zhu Ji had not said that it should be kept secret, he would have asked Zhu Ji to explain the value to him.
After Li Shiming walked out of the spirit-testing formation, one young man after another walked in.
"You all remember your spiritual root values. The total spiritual root value is 100. If you have only one spiritual root, then the only spiritual root value is 100. There is no genius with a single spiritual root among your disciples, not even with dual spiritual roots.
So what you need to pay attention to is that if one of your spiritual roots is the highest, then this spiritual root is your main spiritual root. When choosing a practice, try to choose one that matches your main spiritual root.
If two of your spiritual roots have relatively high values at the same time, then choose the skills that are compatible with these two spiritual roots.
For example, the "Fire and Fire Art" for the wood and fire spiritual roots, and the "Earth and Fire Art" for the fire and earth spiritual roots.
If the three spiritual root values are very similar, then you can choose according to your feeling!" Zhu Ji said, looking at the ten people with a burning gaze.
"Brother Zhu Ji, is it true that the higher the spiritual root value, the stronger it is?" a young man asked.
It seemed that all the young people present were extremely concerned about this question, and their eyes were fixed on Zhu Ji, waiting for his answer.
"The importance of spiritual root values is not as important as you think. The coordination of spiritual roots is sometimes more important than the spiritual root values!" Zhu Ji thought for a while and replied.
However, Li Shiming noticed Zhu Ji's micro-expression when he gave this answer, which was a look that could not be helped from his heart.
I think Zhu Ji’s real idea is that the spiritual root value is very important, but Zhu Ji doesn’t want to discourage some newcomers.
Zhu Ji was also helpless. Originally, there were three potential talents with double spiritual roots this time, but unfortunately, all three died.
If there were people with double spiritual roots here, the Eight Peaks would at least send a senior uncle at the level of a deacon. However, after learning that there were only ten newcomers with three to four spiritual roots, and that all of them had been extremely frightened, the Eight Peaks lost interest in this group of newcomers.
Probably only when three months are up, will someone from the Eight Peaks come to inspect this group of newcomers.
"Come up one by one to receive your items!" Zhu Ji changed the subject.
He called out names one by one, and the teenagers came forward to receive their items.
The young men received a robe and a jade token, and the robe had the mark of the Tianhai Sect on it.
Li Shiming's name was called last, and he walked in front of Zhu Ji.
"Li Shiming, you have reached the third level of Qi Refining, but you have been living in Qingqiu Pavilion for the past three months. The spiritual energy in Qingqiu Pavilion is the most abundant among the nine peaks. Except for the novice period, there are not many opportunities to practice here.
This is the storage bag I gave you. In addition to the identity jade disc and the Tianhai robe, there is also a paper crane and a standard low-grade long sword magic weapon! "Zhu Ji smiled and looked at Li Shiming and said.
The other young men looked at the robes and identity jade discs in their hands and then looked at each other. These young men had experienced life and death, and did not have much courage to speak out against injustice.
“When you reach the first level of Qi Refining, you will also have a storage bag and a paper crane. When your strength reaches the second level of Qi Refining, the sect will issue you a standard long sword magic weapon!” Zhu Ji explained in a deep voice.
