Tongtian Bamboo Repair

Chapter 4 Green Bamboo Gate

Depending on the spiritual roots tested, parents receive different treatment.Because Zhang Miao has high-grade wood spirit roots, his parents received very good rewards.But this also means that Zhang Miao will have little to do with them in the future.Although cruel, this is the world.Once a child detects spiritual roots, he will be taken away by the Immortal Sect and will have nothing to do with his family from then on.

This is also the first step in spiritual practice: breaking away from the ordinary world.

People in this world are also used to this.Zhang's mother was a little reluctant to leave, but she still said goodbye to Zhang Miao happily and asked Zhang Miao to follow Lin Yan and leave the village.The rewards given to them by the Green Bamboo Sect can allow them to spend their whole lives with ease and no worries about food and clothing.

After saying goodbye to his parents, Lin Yan took out a palm-sized bamboo horse from his arms. He threw the bamboo horse outside. The bamboo horse grew when it caught the wind, and instantly turned into a giant bamboo horse three feet tall.Lin Yan, on the other hand, grabbed Qing Qing and Zhang Miao and jumped into the belly of the bamboo horse.

There is also another universe in the belly of this bamboo horse, which is about five or six feet square.Entering inside, a faint aroma hit your nostrils. The bamboo tables, chairs and benches were covered with exquisite soft cushions. Dozens of exquisite snacks were placed on the table. Lin Yan said casually: "You find a place to sit by yourselves. Refreshments are available as you wish.”

After he finished speaking, he made a magic formula and controlled the bamboo horse to run.

The huge bamboo horse started to move instantly. With just one step, it jumped five or six feet away and disappeared into the bamboo forest in the blink of an eye. It quickly disappeared.But inside the horse's belly, Zhang Miao couldn't feel any bumps, and couldn't even hear the slightest sound of wind.

He couldn't help but blurt out: "This thing is really good."

Lin Yan smiled and replied: "This is a thousand-mile bamboo horse. It can travel thousands of miles in a day and carry dozens of people in its belly. If I hadn't gone out to check the fairy seedlings, I wouldn't have been able to borrow this treasure."

Zhang Miao immediately understood that this bamboo horse did not belong to Brother Lin Yan. It was an official vehicle.

Lin Yan said and sat down close to Zhang Miao.He continued: "I have to visit more than a dozen villages. No seedlings have been found in the previous villages. You two are the only harvests so far."

As he spoke, he looked at Zhang Miao and said, "Now that I have time, I will also answer your questions." He coughed lightly and said seriously: "The most important thing in spiritual practice is spiritual roots. As the saying goes, spiritual roots are all important. The Five Elements can be cultivated individually. It is difficult to practice Qi with weak roots, and only the lower ones can do it. It is difficult to perfect the medium ones, but it can be built with the upper ones. Only if the Five Elements are prepared, can you ask for the golden elixir."

His words immediately attracted the attention of Qingqing and Zhang Miao, both of whom listened attentively.Then he also explained: "The spiritual roots are all five elements, which means that the spiritual roots have five kinds of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. It can be practiced individually. It means that ordinary people can practice as long as they have one."

"It means that it is difficult to practice Qi with weak spiritual roots. It is very difficult for weak spiritual roots to advance to the Qi practice realm. In this life, you may only be able to cultivate the sense of Qi, but you will not be able to accumulate enough spiritual energy to advance to the Qi practice realm." At this point, he glanced at Qing Qing , and then said: "Qingqing is this type of person, and this type of people is also the most common. Spiritual roots are hard to find, and those who can find them are mostly weak spiritual roots and inferior spiritual roots. Weak spiritual roots absorb spiritual energy too efficiently. Low, promotion is very difficult.”

His words were very clear. Even though Qingqing was young, she understood what he meant.Her face looked a little ugly, she lowered her head involuntarily and clenched her fists tightly.

But this is life.Lin Yan also sighed, and he continued to Zhang Miao: "The strength of spiritual roots is divided into weak, low, medium and high. It is difficult for the weak to enter the Qi training realm, while it is slightly better for the lower to enter. The level of Qi training is not a problem, it’s just the length of time. But most monks with inferior spiritual roots will only be at the third or fourth level of Qi training when their longevity ends."

"Only those with medium spiritual roots can hope to reach the seventh level or above of the Qi Training Realm. However, it is difficult for monks with medium spiritual roots to reach the perfection of the Qi Training Realm. And if the Qi Training Realm cannot be perfected, it is naturally impossible to talk about foundation building." "Only the upper level. Only those with spiritual roots have great hope by building their foundation."

Speaking of this, Lin Yan smiled and said to Zhang Miao: "So, your high-grade wood spirit root is the ticket to enter the foundation building realm." His words made Zhang Miao nod slightly. It turned out that this was Lin Yan's attitude towards him. Different reasons.Is it because he is likely to become a Foundation Establishment monk?
Zhang Miao waited for a moment, but saw that Lin Yan had shut up and said nothing.He couldn't help but ask: "Then what does the last sentence 'If you have five elements prepared, you can ask for the golden elixir' mean?"

In response to Zhang Miao's question, Lin Yan replied: "I heard from my senior brothers that the level above the Foundation Establishment level is the Golden Elixir realm, and promotion to the Golden Elixir requires the possession of the Five Elements. I don't know this, after all, it is too far away from me. .”

As soon as he finished speaking, the bamboo horse stopped, and then he said: "Okay, the next village has arrived, and I am going to work."

……

In the next few days, the bamboo horse traveled to more than a dozen villages. These villages were large and small, with no more than a hundred households in the small ones, and thousands of households in the large ones.But until the end, only one person with spiritual roots was found.

In the end, Lin Yan traveled to all the villages and only found three people with spiritual roots.These three are Zhang Miao, Qing Qing and the last skinny boy, his name is Tie Xuan, a man with low-grade wood spirit roots.

This year's work ended like this. The bamboo horse turned its head and headed towards the Qingzhu Gate.After a day and night of trekking.Zhang Miao finally arrived at Qingzhumen.

Qingzhumen is located deep in the bamboo sea and surrounded by endless bamboos.The mountain gate is not big, covering an area of ​​about [-] acres.

After getting off the bamboo horse, Qingqing was taken away. She would enter the handyman courtyard and start as a handyman. If one day she could be promoted to the Qi training realm, then she could become a formal disciple.

Zhang Miao and Tie Xuan became official disciples from the beginning.For Zhang Miao, a good seedling with high-grade wood spirit roots, the sect was a little surprised at first, but it soon calmed down. This was somewhat different from Zhang Miao's expectation.According to Lin Yan, he should be a good prospect that attracts much attention.

But in the end, he only got a burst of encouragement, and then he became a disciple, received some clothes, and was divided into rooms, and nothing more happened...

It wasn't like there was no chance at all. Then, he and Tie Xuan were put into a beginner's class, where they learned to read and write together with some disciples who had been there for a year or two.

Yes, when he first enters the sect, he must first learn to read and write. Although he went through the initial elementary education in the village, here, he still has to go through re-education by the master. He learns not only how to read, but also how to read and write. There are all kinds of spiritual knowledge.Because the characters in the spiritual world are different from the characters used by ordinary people.The words that record the practice techniques are runes!
