Measuring spiritual roots is not difficult, but quite tedious.
Qingshui County's population is not concentrated, with small villages of four to five hundred people scattered everywhere, requiring a lot of walking.
If you want to travel to more remote places, you might be able to add a few more monks to your family.
The Lu family is not picky, the five spiritual roots are not objectionable, and the four spiritual roots are not bad either.
"I'll leave this for you."
The great elder said, took out three talismans and handed them over.
"The ancestor has rewarded me with some talismans." Lu Xuanji said.
"I know, but the ancestor belongs to the ancestor, and I am mine." The great elder warned, "I won't say much else, but you have to remember that if something cannot be done, remember to run away. There is no shame in running away,
It is possible only if you are alive. A dead genius is not called a genius."
"yes."
Lu Xuanji only hesitated for a moment before taking the talisman from the great elder.
The three talismans are all second-grade, and they all have certain damage to the foundation-building monks. They can be used at critical moments to save lives.
Farewell to the great elder, Lu Xuanji left Ziyang Mountain and headed towards Danyang County.
Danyang County has a population of about 300,000, and more than half of the population is scattered in various small mountain villages around the county. The population distribution is extremely uneven.
What Lu Xuanji has to do is to walk around the county and various small mountain villages, looking for children with spiritual roots.
Detecting spiritual roots is a big deal for the Lu family.
According to the rules, spiritual roots should be tested at the age of six, but many people delay the time due to various reasons. Every year, people are missed. While testing children, the missed people must also be tested.
Open the map and arrive at a small village.
Lu Xuanji greeted the village chief and kept beating gongs and drums. The villagers were gathering, but there were still some villagers farming in the fields.
After a while, people began to gather.
The village chief said: "The immortal master is here to test the spiritual roots. As long as your child has spiritual roots, no tax will be collected every year, and ten stones of food will be subsidized. Come, come, adults, take your children to test the spiritual roots."
Lu Xuanji took out a black stone, put it on the table and said: "Come one by one, the children line up, put their palms on the stone, and stay for ten breaths. As long as the black stone shines, it is considered to have spiritual roots. You
The family no longer has to collect grain, and they will receive a subsidy of ten shi of grain every year."
"Children come first, adults can touch it too."
The village chief maintained order while the children stepped forward and lined up noisily.
One child after another, they put their palms on the stones and quickly monitored the thirty children, but none of them had spiritual roots.
Lu Xuanji was very disappointed, but he still put away the stone and headed to another village.
I visited eight villages in three days and tested more than 300 children, but none of them had spiritual roots.
The probability is a bit low, non-chief.
Lu Xuanji was speechless. He was very excited when he started the test, but gradually became a little numb.
After walking continuously for half a month, none of the children had spiritual roots.
I'm not tired from work, just a little irritable.
On the eighteenth day, Lu Xuanji went to a village to check.
Suddenly, the stone lit up.
"Not bad, not bad." Lu Xuanji was slightly excited, finally getting off to a good start, "Your child has spiritual roots. I want to take him. Here is the certificate. With the certificate, your family can enjoy tax exemption and enjoy one hundred shi of food.
Subsidies.”
He directly took out the certificate prepared in advance and gave it to the child's father.
"Thank you, Master Immortal."
The child's parents are old farmers. They looked at the certificate and were excited even though they were illiterate.
Lu Xuanji warned the village chief for a moment, then took the child into the small dark room.
Eight crystal balls were taken out to test the properties.
The child pressed his palm on it, and the light balls lit up one after another.
"What a pity, it's the Five Spiritual Roots!"
Lu Xuanji felt slightly regretful.
Five Spiritual Roots are of little value in cultivating them. Maybe a lifetime of trying to reach the fifth level of Qi training is the limit, and there is no hope of building a foundation.
The family will not give extravagant foundation building pills.
However, the Five Spiritual Roots are still valuable to cultivate. At least they can plant spiritual fields, do some chores, make alchemy, refine weapons, etc., and contribute to the family.
Without the hard work of these low-level monks, how would the senior monks have time to practice.
The Five Spiritual Roots are very poor, but at least they have made a good start.
He took the child away, arrived at Danyang County, and settled down.
I went to a nearby village for testing again. Time passed day by day. Two months passed quickly, and more than nine floors of testing were completed.
Only four children have spiritual roots, three have five spiritual roots, and one has four spiritual roots.
"There are still three to five days until the testing is completed, but one county has only tested four, which is too few."
Lu Xuanji was speechless.
Walking towards a village.
I couldn't help but laugh in my heart, he also became Su Yuntao.
Cultivation is too difficult. Without spiritual roots, you can only become a mortal.
As for mortals who want to become stronger, they can only embark on the path of martial arts.
The martial arts in this world are divided into body refining, acquired and innate.
In the realm of body refining, he cannot even beat the weakest level of qi training.
The acquired warriors can at most compete with those at the first level of Qi training.
An innate warrior can compete with the third level of Qi training.
The upper limit of martial arts is too low.
In previous lives, hard work could change destiny; but in this world, hard work is based on spiritual roots. Without spiritual roots, no matter how hard you work, it will be in vain.
Even if you have spiritual roots, the properties of your spiritual roots are not good and your future is limited.
A certain big shot is reborn with the experience of cultivation in his previous life, but if he is reborn with the Five Spiritual Roots, he will also die in obscurity.
Thinking of this, Lu Xuanji secretly rejoiced in his heart that he had a good start with three spiritual roots. If he was a loser at the beginning like some online articles said, and had five spiritual roots at the beginning, he might really be a loser.
As we walked, a mountain village gradually came closer.
The mountain village is very small, with about dozens of households. The village chief is located in a small valley. It is the autumn harvest season. In some villages, farmers are busy in the fields.
It didn't come at the right time.
Lu Xuanji murmured in his heart that many farmers were harvesting in the fields and had no time to test their spiritual roots.
Checking spiritual roots is very important to the Lu family;
But for many people at the bottom, it is not important at all.
After all, after more than ten years of continuous inspection, there is not a single person with spiritual roots in the village.
In the long run, many people have lost hope.
Even when Lu Xuanji arrived at this village, he walked over subconsciously, as he was doing his duty. As for the spiritual roots of children being born in this village, there was little hope.
When he arrived at the entrance of the village, he sat down under a big tree. Lu Xuanji took out the teacup and teapot, poured himself a cup of tea, and waited patiently while drinking the tea, but he was also absent-minded, thinking about other things, thinking about the elixirs at home, spiritual rice, etc.
.
Before leaving, he entrusted a monk from the family to take care of him.
But after all, I am not taking care of it myself, so I feel uneasy.
Among the family, Lingmi is the most stable income.
