Chapter 65: Shengxian
On October 1st, Li Shi quietly left the house before dawn. He didn't want to see Siqin's tears again. Yesterday, Siqin next door cried until very late before falling asleep in a daze.
He blessed himself with a 'lightening technique', and first took back four monitoring probes.
If all goes well, he won't be back for a short time.
After performing the 'Hide Form', he galloped in the middle of the capital city, then climbed over the city wall and left the city.
When he came to the foot of the Temple of Heaven, there were already quite a few carriages heading towards the Temple of Heaven on the top of the mountain.
This time, the Immortal Ascension Conference is held in the Temple of Heaven. All the teenagers who are ready to take the test of their aptitude and talent, as well as the loose cultivators who want to join the sect, will come here today.
Li Shiming slowed down. He saw teenagers looking at each other curiously in these carriages.
These teenagers all have the same characteristic, that is, their eyes are particularly energetic, but their bodies are very weak.
Generally speaking, a gifted person will give birth to spiritual roots at the age of twelve, and the birth of spiritual roots requires a lot of energy.
This makes the energy in the growing teenagers greatly depleted, and they are generally thin.
Moreover, the less spiritual roots, the stronger the talent, the greater the demand for energy from the spiritual roots in the body.
If such a talent is born in a rich family, it is fine, but if it is born in a poor family, it is likely to die in a short period of time.
After countless years of ascension conferences, the world has a preliminary screening for young people with spiritual roots.
The young man with spiritual roots is very smart, his eyes are full of aura, and he is weak.
Of course, those who participated in the screening in Daxia did not know the specific reason for this work, but only knew that it was an important task led by the royal family.
Even the teenagers who came at this time, and the people who sent them here, also had no idea why.
And because of the rarity of spiritual roots, most of the teenagers here are mortals, and they are here just for a trip.
When Li Shiming climbed the top of the mountain, he saw Gu Jiazheng standing in front of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvest, with guards maintaining order on the square below.
Gu Jia saw Li Shiming and waved with a smile.
The sergeant of the guards moved out of the way, and Li Shiming had already approached Gu Jia.
"I have seen Brother Gu Dao!" Li Shiming bowed and said.
"You don't have to stand with them, just stay by my side. I don't know which uncle is here today. I'll let you test your spiritual roots first!" Gu Jia waved his hand and said.
Li Shiming obediently stood beside Gu Jia, and he saw a steady stream of carriages entering the square below, putting down a group of boys and girls, and forming a line under the command of the guards.
Of course, there are privileges everywhere, such as Li Shiming himself, and a small group of young men and women standing at the front of the square.
Li Shiming wouldn't admit that he was privileged, but the small group of young men and women knew that their identities were not simple just by looking at the clothes on them.
Among the two people in the first two places, the young man headed by them was about fifteen years old, with an extravagant face, and the clothes on their bodies were embroidered with four-clawed golden dragons.
And the girl who came in second was also extraordinary, wearing a summer palace dress.
The four-clawed golden dragon can be embroidered at least only by the direct descendants of the royal family. The palace dress represents that the girl was born in the palace.
Li Shiming was looking at them, and they were also looking at Li Shiming.
Who asked Li Shiming to stand higher than them, closer to the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvest.
"Don't worry if Linggen is too bad, you have been favored by Uncle Cui, and you will definitely be able to get started!" Gu Jia comforted softly as he saw that he still had time.
Although he is optimistic about Li Shiming, it is difficult to explain things like Linggen clearly.
Spiritual root is the basic condition for cultivation, but it is not an absolute factor. He is more interested in Li Shiming's ability to perceive.
Being able to rely on self-exploration, one can learn the 'Spring Breeze and Rain Art' and the 'Lightening Technique', which shows how strong Li Shiming's talent is in this area.
"Brother Xie Gu is concerned!" Li Shiming replied gratefully.
"Here!" With Gu Jia's reminder, Li Shiming felt the faint fluctuations of spiritual power in the sky.
He looked up at the sky, but saw nothing.
"When you arrive at the sect, remember to learn qi-looking techniques like the 'Sky Eye Technique'!" Gu Jia said, seeing Li Shiming's dazed expression.
After he finished speaking, he bowed down, and Li Shiming quickly followed his example and bowed down likewise.
A figure appeared out of thin air and stood in front of Gu Jia.
"Daxia's envoy Gu Jia pays a visit to Master Zhao!" Gu Jia saluted meticulously and respectfully greeted him.
Just as he was speaking, two more figures appeared on the left and right sides of Master Zhao.
Through the fluctuation of spiritual power, Li Shiming did not know the specific strength of the two cultivators who appeared later, but he was definitely not a foundation-building cultivator. Only the aura of Master Zhao was extremely obscure, making it impossible for him to judge.
But he doesn't need to judge. Gu Jia is already called Shishu, so Shishu Zhao is the foundation-building cultivator sent by the sect this time.
"Junior-nephew Gu, no ceremony, let's go in and start!" Uncle Zhao nodded and waved his hand to hold up Gu Jiadao.
He walked into the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvest, and the two monks who followed nodded to Gu Jia, and then they entered the gate together with Gu Jia.
When Gu Jia entered, he waved to Li Shiming, and Li Shiming also entered.
Uncle Zhao sat down with his knees crossed in the middle, took out a jade wall carved with a dragon from his storage bag and placed it on the wooden table in front of him.
"Uncle Zhao, this is Li Shiming, who was born in Daxia. His origin is clear. He has inherited it from immortal fate, and has no connection with other sects and forces!" Gu Jia stepped forward and pointed at Li Shiming.
"It's rare, just one piece of inheritance can cultivate to the third level of Qi Refining. It seems that you are not too old, come here!" Master Zhao said with a smile.
He was not surprised by Gu Jia's recommendation.
As long as there are talented seedlings within the guarded area, these guarding monks will do their best to help.
The purpose is that if any of the seedlings grow up, they will bring feedback to the stationed monks.
This is encouraged by the sect. It is with such a benefit that the stationed cultivator will try his best to find talents for the sect.
Li Shiming walked up to the jade bi in a bit of trepidation. Uncle Zhao struck a talisman, and spiritual energy surged on the jade bi.
"Put your hand on the Ling Ling Bi!" Master Zhao said in a deep voice.
Li Shiming stretched out his hands and pressed it on the Lingshi Bi.
He felt a spiritual power pouring into his body from the Spirit-Testing Wall, and after a circle, it returned to the Spirit-Testing Bi.
Three beams of light flew out from the Lingbi, one gold, one red and one green.
"Age of sixteen years and seven months, with three spiritual roots of gold, fire and wood, meets the admission requirements of the Tianhai Sect, are you willing to join the Tianhai Sect?" Uncle Zhao asked Li Shiming with a smile on his face.
"I do!" Li Shiming put down his worries and replied solemnly.
The Three Spiritual Roots did not surprise him. As early as when he was cultivating the 'Five Elements Replenishing Qi Technique', he had guessed when he was able to perceive the three kinds of spiritual energy light spots.
