Immortal Palace Longevity

However, because Yuanyang Academy was recruiting new disciples, Shen Shan was detected to have spiritual roots, so he was lucky enough to become a preparatory disciple.

Thinking of his parents' instructions before leaving, the young man secretly vowed to study hard with the immortal master.

In the future, I will make a difference, improve my family's living conditions, and let my parents, younger brothers, and younger sisters live a good life.

Thinking like this, Shen Shan clenched his fists unconsciously, and the uneasiness in his heart gradually disappeared and turned to become warm.

"You think, can we really become immortal masters and then fly to the sky and escape to the earth without restraint?"

In the team not far away, a young girl was also uneasy and suddenly asked Shen Shan.

"ah?!"

Chen Shan touched the back of his head and looked around for a while before confirming that the girl was talking to him, which made his cheeks blush slightly.

"It should work."

"The immortal master said that we are all lucky people with spiritual roots."

Chen Shan said na na, and after speaking, he lowered his head, not daring to look directly at the girl.

On the one hand, the fabric of the other party's clothes was fine, and he looked like he was not an ordinary child, which made him feel a little inferior.

On the one hand, the girl was so beautiful and charming, but he couldn't help but want to get close to her, and he was extremely conflicted.

"Giggle~"

Seeing Chen Shan's dazed look, the young girl in a goose-yellow skirt let out a series of laughter like silver bells.

However, the girl quickly realized that this was not good. She covered her small mouth with one hand and suppressed her smile. She looked at the other person curiously with her wide and lively eyes and said boldly:

"My name is Gong Xinyuan, what's yours?"

"My name is Shen Shan." After saying this, Shen Shan raised his head to look at the other person, then quickly looked away as if nothing had happened.

"Is that Chen Shan?"

"Then if you become an immortal master, what do you want to do in the future? Do you have any wishes that you want to realize?"

Seeing the other party's stunned look, Gong Xinyuan found it interesting, so she asked curiously.

"I want to get ahead so that my family can live a good life without having to work hard all year round."

"And you?!"

Mentioning his biggest wish, Shen Shan said seriously.

"And marry a beautiful and virtuous wife."

He said in his heart, but did not say it out loud.

"It's that simple?"

"Don't you want to see the outside world, there are still great rivers and mountains?"

Seeing the other party nodding seriously, Gong Xinyuan suddenly felt sympathetic.

Then, she held a bunch of hair in her little hands and waved it gently, thought for a while and said:

"When I become an immortal master, I want to have the magical power to fly to the sky and escape from the earth to see the beautiful scenery in the world."

"In this way, you will live up to your great years."

The boy and girl asked and answered questions, and gradually became familiar with each other.

The attention was successfully diverted, and even the original uneasiness disappeared a lot.

"Perhaps only a noble-born son of the city lord is worthy of her."

Looking at the handsome and handsome son of the city lord surrounded by more than a dozen people in the distance, Chen Shan was secretly envious.

As for the beauty he holds in his arms?

This blasphemous thought did not exist in his mind at this time.

While he was thinking about things preoccupiedly, when he saw the son of the noble city lord looking over, Shen Shan quickly looked away.

"..."

When he caught a glimpse of the young man in rustic clothes, who could be easily identified as having muddy legs from the countryside, Xu Haoran looked away hastily, and a trace of disdain flashed in Xu Haoran's eyes.

"Is this kind of clay-legged guy worthy of becoming an immortal master?"

The man smiled contemptuously and turned his head indifferently.

"I am the first heir of Zhushan County, and I am destined to be above ten thousand people!"

"I can definitely become an immortal master and live forever and enjoy all the glory and wealth!"

Looking at the spirit measuring pillar in the distance, Xu Haoran's eyes flashed with an inexplicable luster.

This luster is called ambition.

The eleven or twelve-year-old boy has already understood some of the ways of the world, so after getting along with each other for a period of time, he spontaneously formed large and small groups based on their respective classes.

Some people cheered and cheered, while others were inconspicuous.

However, most young people still don't understand what it means to become an immortal cultivator. Everything in the world has lost its meaning.

But a small number of young people who come from cultivating families have already understood everything and feel that this kind of behavior is too childish and ridiculous.

Even the "city lord's son" who was envied by Shen Shan was just ordinary in their eyes, no different from other mortal boys.

Therefore, young people from cultivating immortal families mostly communicate with each other and rarely pay attention to young people brought in from the secular world.

They already have a basic understanding of the path to immortality, and they have family support behind them.

Even if the qualifications are average, the possibility of passing the external examination after three years is very high.

It can be said that becoming an official disciple of Yuanyang Sect is basically a sure thing.

At this time, there is no need to spend time and energy on communicating with secular teenagers anyway.

Of course, if excellent spiritual roots are tested, it will be another matter.

…

Regardless of what the first batch of disciples from other colleges thought about the future and how anxious they were, the spiritual root test was still carried out in an orderly manner.

"Xiao Yushan has the spiritual roots of earth and water."

"The main spiritual root is earth, the spiritual energy affinity is eighty points, and the spiritual root qualifications are excellent!"

As the inner disciple in charge of the test finished speaking, the crowd suddenly burst into an uproar, casting incredulous glances at the girl with dual spiritual roots.

Not only is the dual spiritual root qualification, but the aura affinity of the main spiritual root has also reached an astonishing eighty points, which can be regarded as excellent even among the dual spiritual root qualifications.

With this kind of talent, if he stays in the other courtyard for three years, he is destined to enter the inner gate directly.

Maybe there are many foundation-building deacons who are vying to take him as a disciple to inherit his mantle.

Even some self-important teenagers from the cultivation family were moved at this moment.

With such excellent talent, he has already won at the starting line!

After a period of understanding, even the teenagers introduced by the secular world have a vague understanding of the quality of spiritual root talent.

Knowing that the talent of double spiritual roots is very excellent, and understanding how rare it is to have an affinity of 80 for spiritual energy, the teenagers in the field all cast envious eyes.

If the number of spiritual roots is the same, the higher the affinity for spiritual energy, the better the spiritual root talent.

Among the spiritual roots of several attributes, the spiritual root with the highest affinity for spiritual energy is the "main spiritual root".

The attributes of the skills match the main spiritual root, and generally the cultivation speed is the fastest.

For example, Liu Yu and Jiang Qiushui in those days, both had three spiritual roots, but compared with him, his spiritual root talent was still not as good as the other.

It was because Liu Yu's main spiritual root had an affinity of only thirty-eight points, while Jiang Qiushui had fifty points. The difference was very obvious.

For three spiritual roots, an affinity of forty or less spiritual tools can only be considered ordinary, and only an affinity of more than fifty points can be considered excellent.

Therefore, when the Immortal Palace was not opened, although Liu Yu practiced very hard, his cultivation was still far behind Jiang Qiushui.

Generally speaking, the total affinity of each cultivator is one hundred points.

The more spiritual root attributes, the lower the affinity allocated to each attribute.

Only a very small number of "immortal bodies", "spiritual bodies", "Tao bodies", etc., or descendants of the middle and high realms of the immortal world, can have an affinity of more than one hundred points.

For example, the descendants of the great power of refining emptiness, such as the "three yang bodies" that are rarely seen in a thousand years, etc.

The more points of total affinity of spiritual energy, to a certain extent, the better the qualifications are naturally.

The reason why the Heavenly Spiritual Root is the "chosen one" is that the affinity of the spiritual energy of the Heavenly Spiritual Root's single attribute is 100. Even most of the immortal bodies with higher total affinity points are not as good as the Heavenly Spiritual Root.

However, even if the affinity of the spiritual energy is the same, the final qualifications will be far different for each additional spiritual root attribute.

For example, the affinity of the spiritual energy is 50 points, but the difference between the three spiritual roots and the pseudo spiritual roots is more than a little bit.

This is because there is a mutual influence between the spiritual root attributes.

The more spiritual root attributes there are, the greater the influence on the affinity of the spiritual tool, and the slower the absorption and refining speed.

Therefore, to measure the quality of a cultivator's spiritual root qualifications, we must first look at the number of spiritual root attributes, and then the affinity of the spiritual energy.

The spiritual energy affinity is 100, divided by the number of spiritual root attributes. The more it exceeds the average value, the better the qualifications are among the same spiritual roots.

On the contrary, the closer it is, the more ordinary it is.

However, in general, the distribution of spiritual energy affinity is still relatively even.

It is very rare that the main spiritual root points are very high, but the secondary spiritual root points are very low.

After the test showed an extremely excellent spiritual root qualification, the girl named Xiao Yushan raised her chin slightly, walked down the test platform like a peacock, and enjoyed the envious eyes of everyone.

But no matter what the boys and girls thought, the test was still carried out as usual, and did not stop because of the appearance of a "genius".

It did not alarm Liu Yu, who was a Jindan cultivator.

Soon the next boy came forward, put his hand on the spirit testing column, and began to test the spiritual roots.

…

The speed of the spirit testing column to detect spiritual roots was neither fast nor slow, but in a blink of an eye, several hours passed, and the test came to an end.

"Shen Shan, four spiritual roots of gold, wood, fire and earth."

"The main spiritual root is gold, the spiritual energy affinity is 30, and the spiritual root qualification is poor"

The voice of the white-clothed inner disciple sounded, which was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Shen Shan. After the discussion of his peers around him during the test, he had clearly understood the importance of spiritual root qualification.

Shen Shan was in a daze and did not remember when he returned to the crowd.

However, when the results came out, not many cultivators laughed or criticized.

It was because among the 500 disciples of the other courtyard, pseudo-spiritual root qualifications dominated the majority, and no one was qualified to laugh at anyone.

"Why, why, I have noble blood flowing in my body!"

"But the spiritual root qualifications are inferior four spiritual roots!"

Xu Haoran murmured to himself, feeling a little unacceptable.

After a test, as he learned more about the immortal cultivators and their futures became clear, the followers around him dispersed unconsciously.

"Even if it's just pseudo-spiritual root qualifications, I will definitely reach the peak!"

"After three years, I must pass the outer sect assessment!"

After a while, Xu Haoran whispered to himself.

His fighting spirit has not been extinguished!

Although he did not turn around, Xu Haoran could imagine how thorny it was to see the strange looks of the followers behind him.

"..."

Next to Shen Shan, Gong Xinyuan also had a gloomy face. She also had pseudo-spiritual root qualifications.

Through the information leaked by the children of the immortal family just now, she already knew how poor her spiritual root aptitude was.

With poor aptitude and no resources, the smart Gong Xinyuan could already foresee how small the possibility of passing the assessment in three years was.

Once she could not enter the outer sect, she would completely lose her freedom and be demoted to a menial servant to serve Yuanyang Sect for life, and her wish would be completely dashed.

"In this case, we must work harder."

Gong Xinyuan bit her silver teeth and pinched the hem of her skirt, her bright eyes still shining.

She didn't want her wish to be shattered, didn't want to lose her freedom, and didn't want to become mediocre.

Some were happy and some were sad. The boy with poor spiritual root aptitude looked disappointed, while the boy with good spiritual root aptitude looked excited. They gathered together spontaneously to talk about their lives in the past three years.

It seemed that they were the protagonists in the ceremony and ritual.

A spiritual root test determined the fate of most teenagers for the next three years or even their entire lives.

Although God rewards hard work, most immortal cultivators cannot break the limitations of spiritual root aptitude in their lifetime.

The secular world says that success is 99% hard work plus 1% talent.

But books rarely say that the 1% talent is the most important for most people, otherwise it is meaningless even if they work hard.

In the world of immortal cultivation, the 1% is talent and opportunity.

…

“Master, the results of the spiritual root aptitude test for the first batch of disciples from the other courtyard have come out and are all recorded in the roster.”

“The first page is for those with better spiritual root aptitude.”

“The average level of this batch is pretty good, with two people with dual spiritual roots, thirty-seven people with triple spiritual roots, and four hundred and sixty-one people with pseudo spiritual roots.”

“Master, please take a look.”

After the test, Sun Yulan walked over quickly and said respectfully after saluting.

As she spoke, she presented a thin roster with both hands.

On the high platform, Liu Yu moved his fingers upon hearing this, and the roster floated to the table in front of him and was casually placed aside.

So what if you have dual spiritual roots?

Over the years, there have been dozens of people with dual spiritual roots in the sect, if not a hundred, but how many of them were able to successfully form a pill?

There are only more than thirty elders in the sect, and less than half of them have dual spiritual roots. It can be seen that if you want to form a pill successfully, the advantage of dual spiritual roots is actually not that great.

In the eyes of the cultivators in the foundation-building period, perhaps it is the hope for the prosperity of the family and the development of the inheritance.

But in the eyes of the Jindan cultivators, it was just that, just with greater potential.

"Since the test is over, the 500 disciples of the other courtyards should be properly arranged immediately."

"The teaching of literacy and basic knowledge of cultivation should be arranged as soon as possible."

"Master Sun, don't let me down."

Liu Yu didn't look at the list, but said meaningfully.

For most cultivators, he has already stood at the end of the road to cultivation, and even those with dual spiritual roots are just at the starting line, with a long and dangerous road to go.

Unless it is a "heavenly spiritual root" that is rarely seen in a thousand years, or some special spiritual body.

Otherwise, ordinary spiritual root qualifications, no matter how excellent, will hardly attract Liu Yu's attention.

"Disciple, I will arrange it as soon as possible, and I will do my best."

Thinking of Master Qingyang's "good" style, Sun Yulan's heart suddenly trembled, and immediately vowed to promise.

"Okay, go down and arrange it."

Liu Yu raised his hand casually and said calmly.

"Yes, disciple, take your leave."

After bowing again, Sun Yulan stepped back a distance before turning around and walking down the platform.

After the opening ceremony and the initiation ceremony, Liu Yu nodded gently as he watched the disciples clean up the mess in an orderly manner.

He naturally had his own considerations for asking Sun Yulan to teach the new disciples well.

Disciples with excellent qualifications are more likely to receive more light from the sect, so if they want to select death warriors, they are not the best choice.

Although Liu Yu is now in the branch, he can almost cover the sky with one hand, but he should not go too far in everything.

The sect is still quite sensitive about new disciples with excellent qualifications, so it is better not to touch the red line.

So those disciples who have been eliminated are the better choice.

Anyway, Liu Yu has the Immortal Mansion in his hands, and the cost of refining first- and second-level elixirs is extremely low. If he lets the death warriors practice the kind of skills that sacrifice future potential and improve the current practice speed, he will soon get a group of loyal believers.

As for the future of the death warriors, the death warriors have no future, and the whole person is just his tool.

Even the dead warriors can practice magic skills, practice some secret techniques that can launch a fatal attack and die together with the opponent, which is more suitable for the definition of dead warriors.

Even if the qualifications are a little worse, with the blessing of the elixir, and consuming the future potential, there must be many people who can reach the foundation-building stage.

After all, Liu Yu can already refine the foundation-building pill, and the refining of the first-level elixir is even more extreme.

Let Sun Yulan teach well, and it will save trouble for the future self.

Since the ceremony and the ceremony are over, everything has been arranged, there is no need to stay here.

Liu Yu put the new disciple list into the storage bag, and the mana in his body was slightly circulated, changing into a green escape light that soared into the sky, carrying the maid Wen Caiyi back to the cave.

"Boom boom"

The formation was opened, the stone door rose, and a dull sound was heard.

Liu Yu walked into the cave, asked Wen Caiyi to wait in the hall, and opened the alchemy room formation to enter it.

The collection of spiritual materials, along with the work of recruiting new disciples, was handed over to Jiang Qiushui, who had started it a month ago.

In the past month, there have indeed been some gains.

Counting the previous accumulation, the spiritual materials for refining the "Sunset Golden Rainbow Spear" have almost been collected.

And there are only 60,000 spiritual materials left in hand, and it will not take long to run out.

So Liu Yu wants to refine some second-level pills for sale this time, and prepare for refining third-level pills.

His realm has been raised to the Golden Pill Stage. Because his spiritual consciousness has soared to 75 miles, his success rate has increased a little. At present, he has a considerable confidence in refining third-level pills steadily.

Instead of using spirit stones to smash like when refining the golden elixir.

"Clang"

The Xuanhuang Ding changed to the size of a water tank and gently fell to the ground, making a dull sound.

Liu Yu flipped his left hand, and a golden red flame appeared in his palm and jumped slightly.

It was the unique Dan Fire of the Jindan cultivator!

Dan Fire is the same as the foundation-building true fire. Stable burning is conducive to alchemy, but it is better than the true fire in all aspects.

It can be regarded as a comprehensive upgrade of the foundation-building true fire. Even if it is used in a fight, it is a good method.

Liu Yu waved his palm lightly, and the golden red Dan Fire fell into the fire gate of the Xuanhuang Ding, slowly jumping and starting to burn.

Ignition, preheating, purification, condensation...

From the second-level lower-grade Jingyuan Dan, to the middle-grade Yangyuan Dan, and the upper-grade Shengyuan Dan, he easily refined them.

One by one, the spiritual medicines entered the alchemy furnace, and when they came out again, they became round pills, exuding a strong medicinal fragrance and were put into jade bottles.

Although these three kinds of pills are ordinary, they are the most consumed by the cultivators in the foundation-building period, and it is more convenient to sell them.

Liu Yu has already gained a lot of experience in refining these three kinds of pills, and his success rate is even close to the shocking 50%!

As time goes by, there are more and more jade bottles beside him, and the valuable pills are just casually placed on the ground.

…

There is no time in cultivating immortals, and three years pass in a flash.
