"Today is the end of the rookie period. Congratulations to the thirty-two brothers who have condensed the spiritual energy vortex. You have become the sect's apprentice disciples. The Eight Summits will come to select people later. If you are selected, you can refuse.
In addition to joining the Eight Peaks in the sect, if you have a deputy position, you can apply to rent a cave residence within the sect’s sea area.
In addition to the annual compulsory missions, the other missions are important ways for you to gain merit. If you want to become stronger, do the missions!" Zhu Ji said with a serious expression, looking at the 32 Qi Refining disciples standing in front of him.
He ignored the eighty-odd people behind him because they would become menial disciples.
Menial disciples can at least stay in the sect. In an environment with spiritual energy, they can slowly hone their skills over time and potentially reach the first level of Qi Refining, but they have almost no future.
Li Shiming had learned from Zhu Ji that each of the eight peaks had its own strengths. To enter the eight peaks, one had to complete the designated tasks within the peak every day. Only after completing the tasks would one have time for self-discipline.
The welfare benefits of the eight peaks are similar. There is a sermon every month. Sometimes it is a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining who gives the sermon, and sometimes it is even a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage who gives the sermon.
In addition, the Eight Peaks are also an opportunity to learn deputy positions. While continuously completing tasks within the peak, you will be exposed to corresponding deputy positions.
If you have talent for a secondary job, there is a certain chance that you can master the secondary job.
This is extremely beneficial for newcomers who have no foundation, and most of them will choose to join the Eight Peaks.
Li Shiming had his own plans, and he needed a lot of time and space to do his own things.
He does not need to learn a secondary job. He currently has mastered two secondary jobs: spirit plant husband and talisman maker. Although both are low-level, they are enough for the early and middle stages of Qi training.
Zhu Ji didn't say anything else, and the newlyweds standing below didn't dare to move.
After waiting for nearly an hour, a cultivator finally came in from outside.
Zhu Ji looked at the monks coming in and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
The Eight Peaks were named after the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams. The person who came was a low-level manager from Qianfeng. It can be seen that Qianfeng did not attach much importance to this newcomer.
Afterwards, the monks from the other peaks arrived. They were all low-level managers, and there was not even a deacon who could take charge.
In a sect, low-level managers are cultivators who are in the late stage of Qi Refining and have no hope of promotion. They serve the sect in order to obtain certain resources.
Some of these low-level managers do this for their descendants or families, but most of them have no relatives left and the sect is their only home, so they stay in the sect until it is destroyed.
If a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage takes good care of himself, it is possible for him to live beyond 150 years old. At this age, almost all mortals of the two generations above and below him have died of old age.
All the new Qi Refining disciples approached the eight low-level managers, hoping to be chosen first.
Li Shiming came to Zhu Ji's side. Zhu Ji glanced at him and did not seem surprised.
Li Shiming was acquainted with Master Cui, and it was possible that Master Cui had made arrangements for Li Shiming.
"Brother, I want to take the exam to become a junior spiritual plant husband first, and then decide where to go next!" Li Shiming said to Zhu Ji.
"You are well prepared. Okay, I'll take you there after we're done here!" Zhu Ji nodded and responded with a smile.
Originally, after he completed the handover, his mission of training new people would have been over, but he was optimistic about Li Shiming and wanted to make friends with him, so he took some time to help Li Shiming. It wasn't a big favor, so why not do it.
The low-level managers of the Eight Peaks had an indifferent attitude, and they did not dislike anything too much. After all, this group of disciples entered, they would be added to the lower-level disciples.
They didn't even know about Li Shiming, who was already at the third level of Qi Refining before the rookie period.
Even if they knew, there were plenty of ordinary disciples with three spiritual roots in the Eight Peaks, but it was not enough for them to actively invite him.
Among the newcomers on the first floor, the disciples in the Qi Refining stage were divided up among the eight peaks, while the rest of the newcomers who had not reached the first level of Qi Refining were taken away by the errand manager who came later.
The fates of the two groups of people became different from then on: some were happy, some were sad, some were helpless, and some were numb.
Li Shiming followed Zhu Ji on a paper crane. They were heading towards Xunfeng, which specialized in spiritual plants.
The paper crane landed in front of a green pavilion called Leiyu Pavilion. Li Shiming felt the vitality of the surrounding spiritual energy. This kind of feeling can only be felt after performing the "Spring Breeze and Rain Art".
The vitality contained in the spiritual energy of Xunfeng is so great that if we were to plant spiritual rice here, we wouldn't even need to use the "Spring Breeze and Rain Art". We would only need a piece of spiritual field for normal growth.
How could he know that all the spiritual fields on Xun Peak were of medium quality or above? How could it be possible to grow spiritual rice in spiritual fields of such quality?
"Greetings, Uncle-Master Cheng!" After entering the Leiyu Pavilion, Zhu Ji stepped forward and greeted the old monk inside.
Li Shiming hurriedly followed suit and bowed. He did not expect that the person in Leiyu Pavilion was actually a foundation-building cultivator.
"Is there something wrong?" Uncle Cheng raised his eyes and glanced at the two of them and asked.
"It's the disciple who wants to take the exam to become a junior spiritual plant husband!" Li Shiming replied while bowing.
"Use the basic spell of Lingzhifu!" Uncle Cheng said directly without any nonsense.
Li Shiming mobilized his spiritual power and drew a spiritual rune in the air with his hand. In an instant, dark clouds gathered and formed a rain cloud with an area of nearly 100 square meters in the hall.
Without waiting for the rain to fall, Uncle Cheng waved his hand and the rain clouds dissipated.
“The true meaning of ‘The Art of Spring Breeze Turning Rain’ is not passed down by the sect, but the true meaning is not inferior to that of the sect. You are quite proficient in performing the ‘Art of Spring Breeze Turning Rain’, not bad!” Uncle Cheng showed some interest and gave advice.
'The Art of Spring Breeze Turning Rain' is the magic spell that Li Shiming uses most often. In the computer room, the 70 square meters x 4 spiritual rice, spiritual tea trees and spiritual bamboo need the spiritual rain of 'The Art of Spring Breeze Turning Rain' every day.
“Uncle Master Cheng is right. Junior Brother Li has just joined the sect, and he learned his spiritual plant abilities outside the sect!” Zhu Ji praised with a smile.
"Anything else?" Uncle Cheng ignored Zhu Ji's words and asked Li Shiming.
Li Shiming then performed the 'Geng Jin Jue' and the 'Tu Ling Jue'. Due to the need to make a 'primary Geng Jin Talisman', he was quite proficient in the 'Geng Jin Jue', but was much slower in performing the 'Tu Ling Jue'.
"Bring the jade disc of identity here. I have passed the primary level spiritual plant husband test!" Uncle Cheng nodded and said.
Li Shiming took out his identity jade disc and handed it over. Uncle Cheng did not take it, but just made a spell on the identity jade disc.
He saw a small tree mark on the identity jade disc, which seemed to be the identity mark of a junior spiritual plant husband.
"Go ahead. The primary spiritual plant husband is just the beginning of a spiritual plant husband. I hope to see you again to take the assessment for the intermediate spiritual plant husband!" Uncle Cheng waved his hand and said.
