Chapter 32 Basic Initiation
After spending more than two months in Ning Chengfeng's hard training, with the support of the AI computing team, he made rapid progress. His cultivation level broke through to the late stage of Qi refining, and his soul reached a state of great perfection.
When the agreed departure time came, at nine o'clock in the morning, outside the west gate of Wenhui Park in the city center, three multifunctional airships with unique styles were parked.
When Ning Chengfeng arrived, the ten robots were chatting and laughing. He was slightly startled. In addition to the dashing Shelia wearing leather boots, and the two little kids, there were two other people he knew.
The burly and muscular Wei Chao looked arrogant and nodded expressionlessly. He was very unhappy that Shelia transferred the place vacated by the Wei family to this person.
Meng Huan wore a high-waisted jacket and stared at the young man with a half-smile, coveting and greedy without any cover-up.
"Why is this woman here?" He muttered in his heart.
"Uncle Ning, what are you carrying?" Xie Jinyao asked in a sweet voice.
"Single sword."
"Use it to kill people? Is it useful?" The little girl was not interested in this rustic thing.
"Let's just use it. It's better than empty-handed?" Ning Chengfeng didn't say anything. He also brought three exquisite flying knives, which were painted with other colors and were ready to be used as a last resort.
He walked towards Shelia, but heard Meng Huan shout: "Shua, come here quickly, I'm sending you."
Ning Chengfeng turned around and said, "Ah, you're here too?"
"I heard that you have a chance to test, so I asked Sister Huan to bring me here. I can't be compared with you." Shu Ya was very proud.
"I have been initiated a long time ago. Only Xiaolan needs to go at home. This time it is purely to accompany the prince to study." Meng Huan complained.
"Ah, why are you carrying a sword on your back? But you look pretty cool." Xie Jinyao favored one over the other, obviously favoring the handsome guy.
"Everyone has arrived. There are four initiates, six protectors including Meng Huan and myself, and two third-class citizens who are observing.
Second Young Master, you’d better make a plan before setting off, otherwise it’s easy to get into trouble.”
"Don't look at me, I'm not interested in taking care of this. Shelia's combat power is not enough, so Wei Chao is right? You are the team leader, and we will follow the rules set by you." Meng Huan was unwilling to make any fuss.
"Wei Chao, you are the most suitable." Black Beauty agreed.
"Okay, let's not be disrespectful. Each family is first responsible for the safety of its own people, and then the mutual assistance between families. As for the two human clans, they must obey the orders and be responsible for life and death. How about that?"
Ning Chengfeng and Shu Ya looked at each other. As lower-class people, they must be aware, not to mention the contempt of others. It sounds very reasonable and cannot be argued with. Shelia and Meng Huan also nodded in agreement.
"If there is no objection, then let's go."
"I want to take an airship with Wei Kai, and we can discuss 'business' and 'management' on the way." The little girl requested.
"Come here, there are only three of us anyway." The young man also had the same intention.
Wei Chao had no objection, but he was unhappy when he thought that Xelia and Ning Chengfeng would be in the same boat.
The airship spread its wings, revealing the hatch, and everyone filed in. Ning Chengfeng looked at the "monster" of the machine, envious of its high-end configuration.
It uses scramjet to compress air through high-speed flight. Since it has no compressor or turbine, it has a very light weight and its maximum speed can exceed ten times the speed of sound.
Of course, considering comfort, it is impossible to fly at full speed, and the distance is long and it will take more than four hours.
The journey was long. In addition to meditating with eyes closed, we also chatted. "Xelia, I understand that you want to defend yourself and want to become a machine monk. But why do those three little guys want to practice?"
"Do you think there is no need to waste time since we have guards and the highest-level weapons?"
"Yes."
“In order to make the world last forever, the first-generation Cindy believed that robots must continue to be eliminated and evolved, so she designed birth, old age, sickness and death for us.
Although the physique of the human race is not as good as that of first-class citizens, it has a long culture. After your skills are modified, the robots can become monks and live longer and stronger."
"Why didn't you practice before?"
"At that time, I was only interested in medicine and business. Now it seems that I was terribly wrong. I didn't even have the ability to protect myself. How can I be ideal? What's more, the family is now facing a lot of pressure."
"Who is more powerful between mechanical and human monks of the same level?"
“The first generation believed that the human body is the best carrier of spiritual energy, and only humans can cultivate to the highest level.
Generally speaking, from the stage of Qi refining to the golden elixir stage, the machines are stronger; in the Nascent Soul stage, the human body that is more in line with the way of heaven begins to show its advantages; as for the integration stage and above, only a small proportion of robots can achieve it."
"Then why do machines rule humans?"
"Because there are already very few human cultivators, the first generation will create more machine cultivators at each level, and they will have weapons that transcend realms."
"So it seems that the high-level human cultivators have not been completely eliminated, but it is just to promote the evolution of the machine clan?"
"Yes."
"For most machine nobles, training is just a tool to extend their lifespan. They already have cutting-edge weapons and there is no need to pursue personal combat power."
"I don't think so. When you do something, you have to do it to the extreme."
"What level is the Guardian?"
"The opponents arranged in the primary trial field are all below the mid-stage of foundation building, and the guardians are required not to exceed this level. Wei Chao and the other four are in the mid-stage, and Sister Huan is in the early stage."
"I'm curious, what is the trial field like?"
"It is constantly changing, whether it is the landform or the content of the trials, they are different every year,"
"What about the initiation?"
"All machine nobles, once they set foot on the trial site, can undergo basic initiation and become monks in the Qi Refining Stage. A very few geniuses may directly reach the Foundation Building Stage.
Before leaving, the system will reward each person with another initiation based on their performance."
"The older you get, the more advantage you get, right?"
"It's hard to say. In the same situation, the younger you are, the higher your score in the trial will be. Moreover, the earlier you practice, the better your foundation will be."
Accompanied by a beautiful woman, the journey was no longer boring, and the airship finally landed on a magical land.
The grassy prairie is covered with brilliant mountain flowers, and there are many small lakes inlaid with different colors, like bright gems. The air is fresh and the spiritual energy is rich, making people feel refreshed.
More than twenty airships have been parked nearby, and a team has assembled on the grass and is about to set off.
"Hey, Sister Huan, why are you here too?" A young man with a mustache took the initiative to greet him, surrounded by many machine nobles.
"Oh, it's Qi Liang. I'm bringing Xiaolan here to play, and you're bringing the kids to experience it too?" Meng Huan was frightened by the status of the other family, and Meng Huan lost his cynicism.
"Yes." The young man looked at the other two people and sneered: "Wei Chao, are you still obsessed with it?"
The strong man nodded slightly and did not refute.
"Xelia, is it too late to initiate the initiation now?" Qi Liang showed a joking expression.
"It's never too late to seek truth."
"Then you have to be careful." Mustache glanced maliciously and led everyone away.
"Does this person have a grudge against you?" Ning Chengfeng asked with concern.
"It's a grudge between two families." The beauty obviously didn't want to talk more.
The atmosphere was a bit depressing, and Wei Chao said in a deep voice: "Let's go. From now on, you must not use thermal weapons, otherwise you will be killed by the system."
The team set off and walked for three kilometers. There were mountains across the mountain. On the stone tablet at the foot of the mountain, there were four big characters written: "Basic Initiation". Looking up, they saw a staircase made of rocks leading to the top.
"It's novel this time. It's actually mountain climbing. Four of you, it's up to you now; the guardians and the human race won't gain anything." Meng Huan looked relaxed.
Wei Chao took the lead and climbed up the steps, followed closely by the others. Ning Chengfeng and Shu Ya wisely fell at the end.
As soon as they stepped on the steps, spiritual energy rose up from under their feet. Because it was too strong, it became a burden. The two wanted to steal it, but found that no one else could absorb it except the initiate.
The higher they climbed, the stronger the spiritual energy suppressed the body and soul. Shelia and the three children followed the family method and absorbed it desperately to reduce the pressure. The little ones began to pant.
Squeezing allows them to quickly digest external energy, which is used to nourish themselves and improve their cultivation. When they cross the 600th level, greater benefits appear.
Each ladder is integrated into some kind of Tao rhyme fragments, potentials, secrets, laws of heaven and earth, etc. They are not coherent, and the levels are irregular.
This is equivalent to the system writing its own understanding on paper, then tearing it into pieces, mixing them together, and randomly placing them on the steps.
The four people have different expressions, some are happy, some are confused, some are in pain...
In order to preserve their physical strength and climb to the top of the mountain to find their own true meaning, they stayed on each step for different times.
The guardians who had established the foundation walked easily, while Ning Chengfeng in the late stage of Qi refining, and Shu Ya at the peak of Qi refining in the middle stage, were increasingly suppressed.
"Can you two do it?" Meng Huan asked jokingly.
"Sister Huan, no problem, just wait for me at the end." The handsome guy insisted through gritted teeth.
"If that doesn't work, I'll take you up the mountain quickly. Don't show off."
Shuya didn't want to waste his energy by talking and stopped answering.
The aura was vague and misty, and at a certain moment, Ning Chengfeng's heart palpitated, and he actually sensed fragments of the "power of the tide".
"How is it possible? Is it because Wu Fu has used it before?" He was immediately relieved, tasted it carefully, and mastered it.
When he stepped onto the next step, his expression suddenly changed, and he realized the fragments of the secret of power, "What's going on? Ouyang Fei has just stepped into the door of cultivation, there is no way he can understand the secret."
Not only that, the Yongquan point on the sole of the foot opens spontaneously, extracting spiritual energy without leaving any trace.
He looked at Shu Ya beside him, but he didn't expect that the other person was staring at him suspiciously. He immediately realized that his companion's situation was exactly the same as his own.
"It's strange. I've never heard of humans being able to receive the 'Basic Initiation'." Shuya muttered in his heart.
The two smiled secretly, remained calm, and continued to enjoy the exclusive benefits of the machine nobles. The system is fair, and since there is a loophole that allows them to take advantage, more pressure will be exerted.
Ning Chengfeng's body was stronger and he could barely bear it, but Shu Ya had to use his inner strength to contend.
Shelia became more and more excited. She chose to practice the path of black devils and demons. Along the way, she encountered many related fragments, which made her fascinated.
