Song Chen blinked awkwardly, "I have all the spiritual roots."
Zhao Ziyi was taken aback. "All spiritual roots? I've never heard of that?"
"I possess all eight spiritual roots, including the Five Elements, the Three Wonders, and the Eight Spiritual Roots."
"..."
"Actually, it's quite good. From now on, any cultivator with any spiritual root can use the weapons I forge."
Song Chen didn't know what Zhao Ziyi would think of him, or whether he would consider him a useless person with eight spiritual roots.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Ziyi comforted him instead.
Zhao Ziyi suddenly hugged Song Chen and patted his back repeatedly.
"Don't give up! Having multiple spiritual roots just means slower cultivation. Don't put pressure on yourself."
A warm feeling flowed through Song Chen's heart.
When no one was looking, he grinned and said, "Yeah, I won't give up."
He will not only not give up, but will also fight alongside Zhao Ziyi against the plot and protect him forever.
During his second entrance exam, he gained many new methods.
He knew of several kinds of pills that could enhance the absorption of spiritual energy.
He could experiment with spirit-gathering arrays, true qi talismans, and inscribed runes on himself at worst.

A moment later, the two landed on a mountain peak.
The mountain peak soared into the clouds, and the place where they stood was a giant circular platform carved out of the mountaintop. The ground pattern was ancient and grand, forming a protective array.
A piece of blue jade, 15 meters high and 8 meters wide, stands on a round platform.
"The mission hall is a lively place in the academy. If you want to earn contribution points quickly, you have to accept missions here."
However, a small number of cultivators choose to earn contribution points by buying and selling goods.
Skilled cultivators can earn more contribution points through trading.
As Zhao Ziyi spoke, he led Song Chen to the large blue jade stone.
"This is the quest stone. If you probe it with your divine sense, you can see and accept the quest. This spirit stone is very high-grade, much like the web pages in my previous world."
Song Chen obediently probed in with his divine sense.
A row of task information appeared in front of him.
On the left is the task name and task requirements.
The right side shows the rewards that can be received.
The content of each item is very clear.
Song Chen carefully selected the tasks he could accept.
[The boy holding the fan in the Fire Refining Hall]
Requirements: Must have at least three spiritual roots, with a fire spiritual root.
Refinement level: Grade 1 or above.
Reward: 500 contribution points per day
[Lingtian Planting Agency]
Requirements: Four or more spiritual roots, with water, earth, and wood spiritual roots.
Planting grade: Grade 3 or above.
Reward: 1800 contribution points per day
Looking at these task requirements, Song Chen couldn't help but shake his head and smile wryly.
In the Tianyan Continent, professions are also divided into levels.
All professions are uniformly classified into ranks.
The first grade is the worst, and the tenth grade is the best.
Currently, all of Song Chen's professional ranks are at the first grade.
However, he has too many spiritual roots, so the tasks he can take on are very limited.
After the final selection, he was only eligible for three tasks.
First task:
Responsible for watering, weeding, and pest control in 80 spirit fields daily; spirit roots are not limited.
The reward is 300 contribution points per day.
This is a task directly assigned by the school, probably prepared for lower-level disciples like Song Chen.
Second task:
To be in charge of brewing alcoholic beverages at the distillery, one needs to have a water and wood elemental root and cooking experience.
The reward is 400 contribution points per day.
The third task:
The mine excavation task has no requirements, but you need to submit 100 catties of ore every day to receive 100 contribution points.
Note: Ores must not be hoarded. If hoarded ores are detected, 6000 contribution points will be deducted.
————
After reviewing these tasks, Song Chen frowned. These tasks all consumed a lot of time and energy.
For example, the task of watering the spirit fields; one spirit field is ten acres. 80 spirit fields would be 800 acres.
This is equivalent to the spiritual field being 9,000 meters long and 8,000 meters wide.
Even if he were an old ox that had become a spirit, he couldn't finish all this work in a day!
Fortunately, these three tasks are all long-term tasks and are not required to be completed in one day.
And he just happens to need these tasks.
After calming himself down, Song Chen accepted all three tasks.
The next second, he withdrew from the blue jade.
Zhao Ziyi looked at her expectantly, "How did it go? Did you get the mission you wanted?"
Song Chen tidied Zhao Ziyi's wind-blown hair and said with a smile:
"I've received it. I've received three missions, starting tomorrow."
Zhao Ziyi lowered his head shyly; he was still a little unaccustomed to someone being so gentle with him.
"Let's go to the consignment shop now. I'll give you a flying artifact. From now on, you can fly on it every day, saving you time on the road."
Consignment shops are recognized trading venues within the academy where consigned goods can be bought and sold.
Once a product is listed for sale, a 5% transaction fee will be deducted from the transaction price after the product is sold.
It's a very conscientious consignment shop.
Since the monks didn't have time to set up a stall, they put their goods up for sale at consignment shops.
Once someone purchases the goods, the seller will receive payment notification from the consignment shop.
"Your item: xx has been sold, and 200 contribution points have been credited to your account."
Song Chen currently has no contribution points, so if he wants to buy a flying artifact, he doesn't know how long it will take to accumulate them.
But Zhao Ziyi had contribution points, so he directly pulled Song Chen along and flew to the consignment shop on his sword.
After traversing countless mountains, the two disembarked from their flying swords at the consignment shop.
The consignment shop occupied a vast area, spanning an entire mountain peak.
From the foot of the mountain to the summit, the mountain is divided into grids of varying sizes.
The grids are numbered, starting from the first grid and going up to the 100,000th.
The entire mountain was shrouded in a layer of white mist, making it impossible to peek inside the grid.
Golden light surged, appearing and disappearing intermittently; that was the protective array of the consignment shop.
Song Chen stared in shock at the scene, feeling as if his previous life was a completely different world from that of Xianhe Garden.
A huge crowd gathered at the foot of the consignment shop.
The crowds were so large that it rivaled the grand scene during the registration period.
"That's how it is with consignment shops; hundreds of people come to them every day looking for bargains."
Sometimes, cultivators might accidentally set the wrong price, and the item would be bought by a lucky cultivator.
The monks who found the bargains then resold the goods at a higher price.
As Zhao Ziyi explained, he slightly covered his face, unwilling to admit that these opportunists were basically sword cultivators who did not engage in productive work, and they were all from their academy.
"Hey, Xiao Zhao's here. You're here to pick up bargains too?"
"Little Zhao didn't come a few days ago, hahaha, I managed to snag quite a few great deals."
"Hmm, there's someone from the weapon-refining academy next to Xiao Zhao. Let's scare him with our sword energy, make his hand tremble a little when he's putting the goods up for sale, hehehe, we'll make a fortune again!"
Zhao Ziyi almost buried his head in the ground; he really didn't want to admit that this was what a sword cultivator was like.
Before he transmigrated, he also thought that sword cultivators were a group of upright and incorruptible people.
But life can destroy a monk's conscience!
With a domineering spirit, once one learns swordsmanship, one is unable to practice other professions.
Without any source of income, they lived a very frugal life.
The consignment shop saved them.
Now they can practice swordsmanship at the foot of the mountain while keeping an eye on the market, which is a win-win situation.
The mountain peak where the consignment shop is located is the first peak where the sword energy of Xianhe Garden runs rampant.
The air was filled with the residual sword energy from the swordsman's swings, as well as the sharp sword intent left behind by the swordsman's breakthrough.
If the cultivators who come to sell their goods are not careful, they will be cut by the sudden sword energy.
Then my hand slipped and I set the wrong price.
More and more sword cultivators are coming to pick up bargains.
This created a vicious cycle.
