Chapter 27 Chapter 27 The power that was handed to me...
"Ordinary spiritual roots rank from high to low, namely, Divine, Heavenly, Earthly, Mysterious, Yellow, and Human. 100 is Divine, 90-99 is Heavenly, and every 20 levels thereafter is a new level. Below 10, we generally refer to those without spiritual roots. Even if they possess a mental method, they may still find it difficult to embark on the path of cultivation even after a lifetime of practice..."
"So spiritual roots are also called the most basic qualifications for cultivation."
Qualifications? Some of the civilians below seemed to have thought of something, and a hint of heat flashed in their eyes.
They remembered seeing a technique that could improve aptitude in the mall yesterday...
Some whispers were heard among the crowd below. It was very obvious that the faces of the group of ninjas standing on the right were obviously gloomier. Their originally excited mood was as if a bucket of cold water was poured on their heads, and they were instantly sobered.
After the ups and downs of excitement, they suddenly realized that what they had seen before had nothing to do with them. It was very likely that they would not be able to compare to others even if they studied for several years...
Even if his mentality collapsed, Ali thought it was quite normal...
But unexpectedly, almost no one expressed their intention to give up.
Ali was a little surprised.
The Sky Ninjas didn't think that much.
After hearing the previous introduction, knowing the benefits of practicing, and even knowing that practicing can bring them a longer life, what does it matter even if they know that their progress will be slow?
After all, it is a path to immortality. No matter how difficult it is, there is no such thing as giving up.
As for whether it was worthwhile to abandon the existing ninja training system for a training with no clear future, they did not hesitate too much.
Shennong was right. Most of these people were craftsmen from the Kingdom of Sky.
As ordinary people, except for the children brought up back then, they were already quite old when they started learning chakra. Their upper limit had long been stuck, and their combat skills were not strong. They might be able to catch the ninja village off guard using aerial tactics, but if they really faced the ninjas of the five major ninja villages head-on, they might not be able to match some ordinary chunin...
In that case, why not give it a try? After all, the changes in the Shennong leader are real!
"Shui Cang, come up." Ali gestured to Shui Cang to put his hand on the spirit-testing tablet.
A single ice-blue column quickly rose up, and there seemed to be frost condensing on it. At the top, a line of large characters was written: "Mutated Earth-grade Ice-type Single Spiritual Root, Affinity 87."
"The five elements interact with each other, and can also mutate due to special circumstances, forming a blood limit similar to a ninja."
"Thunder, wind, and ice are the more common variant attributes, but they appear relatively rarely, and their attack power is slightly stronger."
Shennong thought of his Earth Yin Spirit Root and the special blood limit abilities in the ninja world.
Could it be that in this system of cultivating natural energy, I have very strong innate conditions?
Shennong's heart inevitably heated up, and he couldn't help but ask, "Besides the attributes of thunder, wind and ice, there should be other attributes of spiritual root mutations, right?"
Ali nodded. "Of course there are, such as precious things like time, space, yin, yang, chaos, etc. There are also many lower-level categories below them, and sometimes there are even some niche attributes such as poison, fog, and air. But as long as they are well developed, their power is also not low."
"Your Earth Yin Spiritual Root is one of them, a variant of the Yin attribute. Logically speaking, this kind of spiritual root is unlikely to be below the Heavenly Grade, and should even appear together with the Yin spiritual body..." Ali's tone did not contain much regret.
"You may have squeezed out the energy of your five internal organs and your spiritual energy when you were a ninja, which caused some damage to your spiritual roots, and you haven't formed a spirit body yet."
Seeing Shennong's somewhat stiff face, Ali shook her head, trying to comfort the rare talent in front of her. She looked at the ninjas on the field and reminded them:
"All disciples who are still practicing chakra should suspend their chakra practice and try to feed the chakra back into their bodies. After a period of body tempering, go to the foot of the main peak to exercise more often. The spiritual energy there is the most abundant in the entire Tianyan Sect. When you are tempering your bodies, this extremely favorable spiritual environment may help you restore your original spiritual root level."
The eyes of the air ninjas lit up, as if they had found a glimmer of hope, and Shennong also breathed a sigh of relief.
Ali passed over this topic and quickly talked about the issue of multiple spiritual roots.
"Humans are made up of the five elements, so their affinity for external spiritual energy is definitely not limited to a single attribute. Many people will have multiple spiritual roots."
"A Cui! Bring A Fu up here." Following Ali's call, A Cui took her brother's hand and walked to the stone tablet.
"Afu, Heavenly Grade Fire Spiritual Root, Fire 97."
"A Cui, a natural dual spiritual root of fire and wood, with a wood affinity of 90 and a fire affinity of 37."
Amidst everyone's envious gazes, A Cui returned to the crowd with her brother, blushing.
Among the hundreds of people tested this time, there were only three Heaven-grade ones, all of whom were from the villagers who had been there before. The others were also of high rank, and on their side, even the Earth-grade ones were pitifully few...
"When all spiritual roots are of Heavenly Rank, the combat capability of those with multiple spiritual roots is stronger than that of those with a single spiritual root. Their physical strength and combat power limit will also be several times that of those with a single spiritual root."
As soon as the words fell, the ninjas couldn't help but feel a little relieved. Fortunately, they all had a lot of spiritual roots...
But then.
"But, this doesn't mean that having multiple spiritual roots is better than having a single spiritual root..."
Ali instantly interrupted some people's fantasies: "Single spiritual roots are the fastest to cultivate among all ordinary spiritual roots, and are also the easiest to break through. They are generally called heavenly spiritual roots. Because of their fast cultivation speed and the fewer attributes they need to focus on, they also have more time than other spiritual roots. To make up for their combat power, they usually also cultivate other aspects to increase their own lethality. Generally speaking, single spiritual roots are considered the top among ordinary spiritual roots."
"Only when each of the multiple spiritual roots is at the Heavenly Rank, and the surrounding spiritual energy is extremely abundant, can it be shown that these multiple spiritual roots have their own advantages over a single spiritual root of the same rank."
"A single spiritual root is faster, but it takes time to cultivate other spiritual roots to make up for the combat power. Multiple spiritual roots take several times longer to gain higher combat power and physical fitness. Because the spiritual roots are of high grade and can be used efficiently, this time difference doesn't have a big impact..."
"However, the vast majority of multiple spiritual roots are not of the same grade. This will cause these extra spiritual roots to significantly reduce the cultivator's cultivation speed. Even if one attribute is ready for a breakthrough, because the remaining attributes are cultivated too slowly and the efficiency of utilizing spiritual energy is also low, it is still a long way from a breakthrough. The cultivator can only anxiously wait for the other attributes to slowly improve. This is true for every level."
Seeing that some of the people below who were previously rated as earth-grade spiritual roots also began to change their expressions, Ali couldn't help but curl his lips: "Don't worry, since I'm keeping you here, I naturally have the ability to help you enter the Dao and become stronger. There are even mental methods within the sect to improve your qualifications..."
"But whether you can fully obtain it depends on your contribution to the sect..."
Looking at the eager eyes below, Ali remained calm. As a veteran in her previous life, she knew very well how to motivate employees. Having been used so many times by her superiors, Ali had gradually learned some of the essentials...
...and she is not the kind of boss who only makes promises but does not deliver on them. Her promises are real!
"Heh..." Madara looked at the atmosphere on the field which seemed to have suddenly become heated, and looked at Ali's calm and composed expression with interest.
This kid is really skilled at using the tactic of hitting someone with a stick and then giving them a date.
…
Ali handed the people on the field to Da Niu, Shen Nong and the other three. Da Niu was responsible for guiding everyone to use the sect's token, Shuicang was responsible for teaching Tu Na how to get started, and A Cui stood aside, clenching her hands nervously. Under the encouraging eyes of her family, she and Shen Nong maintained order on the scene.
They have just started and haven't even tempered their bodies yet. As the big brothers of the first batch of disciples, they already have experience in guiding their companions. The old leading the new can really save Ali a lot of trouble.
"Are you so confident in leaving this matter to them?" Madara looked at the three little kids who were as small as a toy to him and Shennong who were working together to maintain the slightly chaotic scene because of the large number of people. He remembered that when he was in Konoha, Hashirama had to do everything himself. He lowered his eyes and looked at the kid beside him who seemed very satisfied.
"We have to give them some training!" Ali was very satisfied. At least there was no trouble, right?
If she has to instruct on everything one by one, won't she be exhausted to death? In the future, when the sect has tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of disciples, will she have to take care of everything?
Give the right power to the right people, and she only needs to get the results she wants from these right people.
Ali looked at the crowd below and asked thoughtfully, "Master Madara, what do you think of Shennong as the manager of intelligence?"
...Ask him?
Ban lowered his eyes and met Ali's gaze as he looked up and asked him.
Shouldn't she decide on this matter involving the distribution of rights herself?
Ali's face was filled with black lines: "Master Madara, you are at least a sect elder! Not to mention the sect, you must be aware of the power that a family elder has, right?"
It seems that Madara-sama really came here with the intention of being an honorary elder and has no idea about power at all.
No, he knew very well.
Ban stared at Ali's expression, as if trying to find some trace of pretense on her face, but the undisguised sincerity on her face told him that she was serious.
Thousands of thoughts surged through his mind, and Madara couldn't explain his complicated feelings at the moment.
In just these few days, he could already see the sect's ambition to expand from the resources within the token that he had never had access to before and the roughly laid out multi-level framework.
Even Madara was certain that if this sect could really develop, it would definitely become a force more powerful than the ninja village in the future...
He already had a vague premonition of how much power an elder of this faction would have.
But after going through so much, he couldn't believe that the little devil in front of him would actually hand over such power directly to him...
Looking at the lively scene below and feeling the serious gaze of the little kid beside him, Madara suddenly realized that he seemed to have been pulled out of the lonely darkness without knowing it and was standing in the sunlight again.
