Data cultivation, I observe immortality in the five elements

Chapter 2 Getting Started and Contribution Points

Chapter 2 Getting Started and Contribution Points

Luo Yan closed the door and glanced at the nearby rooms with closed doors. His consciousness was slightly blocked by a layer of light curtain.

This layer of light curtain is a kind of formation restriction, its function is to prevent outsiders from exploring and to protect the disciple's personal privacy.

But that's all.

The three rooms next to him are the roommates randomly assigned to him by the sect after he joined the sect. The four of them live in the same small courtyard.

They are all at the first level of Qi refining.

After all, they are only in their teens. Even though their original family conditions are good, they have already learned to read early.

However, it still takes a long time to study the scriptures and lectures on spiritual practice, as well as basic common sense, etc.

Luo Yan's relationship with these three people is average, because with his adult mind, it is actually difficult for him to play with peers who are eleven or twelve years old.

In addition, during this period of time, in order to break through to the third level of Qi Refining as soon as possible, he did not give lectures except for the lectures given by the old gentleman in the lecture hall.

The rest of the time, I spent almost all my time huddled in my room breathing and practicing.

Therefore, in the eyes of the other three roommates, Luo Yan was not very gregarious.

After exiting the courtyard gate, you will see a magnificent building located on the hillside.

Luo Yan turned around and glanced at the small courtyard behind him, as if he was saying goodbye to the boring life of the past year.

After a while, he was walking towards the winding mountain forest path.

The Five Elements Temple is located at the intersection of Xiaohuang Mountain and Manjiang, surrounded by mountains and countless spiritual birds and animals.

Occasionally, a stray bird would crash into the sect's mountain-protecting formation, causing waves of ripples, and then disappear again.

The mountain-protecting formation is like a turtle shell, covered with runes, emitting a faint fluorescent light, covering the area where the sect is located.

Luo Yan didn't go up the mountain often.

After all, new disciples like them are not allowed to enter many sect buildings.

It's useless to come up.

Only at the beginning of each month, the outer sect elders in the sect will arrange special personnel to lead these new disciples to the Jade Dojo.

And by checking the disciples, how the basic breathing method operates, or answering questions about their practice, we prevent these young practitioners from practicing indiscriminately and avoid mistakes.

This will lead you astray and destroy the foundation of your practice!

After all, the old gentleman in the lecture hall has limited cultivation and his own cultivation qualifications are extremely low.

It's okay to let them impart some of the simplest basics.

However, during the journey of spiritual practice, everyone's qualifications are different, and the problems they encounter will naturally be all kinds of strange.

If there are no truly reliable seniors to answer questions and resolve doubts, big troubles will easily occur.

Although spiritual root qualifications are taken very seriously in a true holy land of cultivation like the Five Elements Temple, they are not absolute.

After all, the Five Elements Concept has been passed down in the Southern Territory for thousands of years, and it is not unheard of for some disciples with low qualifications to succeed as latecomers.

Therefore, equality of treatment to a certain extent can still be achieved.

However, this kind of special treatment can only be enjoyed by disciples like Luo Yan and others who have just started.

In the future, if you want to ask your elders for advice on spiritual practice, you will need to spend a certain amount of sect contribution points.

The purpose of this is to give new disciples a strong sense of belonging to the sect.

After the first-year newcomer protection period has passed and new disciples like Luo Yan have achieved a certain level of cultivation.

Only then will the various buildings of the sect be granted permissions to them in turn.

After passing through the shades of trees and stepping on the bluestone steps covered with fallen leaves, we arrived at a magnificent hall.

At the main gate of the courtyard, there is a gilt gold plaque that reads: Hall of Supreme Harmony, in three big characters.

Walking in, there was already a girl with beautiful eyes and beautiful eyes, whose eyes were astonishing at first glance, waiting in the main hall.

Right in front of the main hall, an old Taoist in gray robe sat cross-legged. His face was ordinary, his eyes were bright, but he had a sense of kindness.

At this moment, the gray-robed old Taoist was holding a jade book in his hand, turning the pages from time to time.

It was as if the whole mind was immersed in the world in the books, and Luo Yan and the others were completely unaware of their arrival.

This gray-robed old Taoist is the guiding elder of the outer sect, his surname is Shi, and he is responsible for guiding these new disciples to get started.

His cultivation is unknown, but he has the highest seniority in the entire Five Elements Temple lower courtyard!

"I didn't expect anyone to come earlier." Luo Yan glanced at the girl beside him.

And the owner of the pair of clear and bright eyes was staring at him curiously at this moment.

Luo Yan could only smile softly in return.

Not long after, two more young men came into the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Judging from their clothing, the silk brocade patterns on their bodies are exquisitely embroidered, and their waists are tied with ribbons.

The first impression one gets is that the native family is either rich or noble.

These two people came together and had a special sense of understanding with each other, as if they had known each other for a long time.

When the first ray of sunlight shone into the main hall, the gray-robed old man closed the jade book, and then the door of the Hall of Supreme Harmony slowly closed.

He stroked his white beard, his long eyes full of smiles.

"If I remember correctly, our little barren mountain courtyard, even counting those special disciples who were taken away just after they started."

"Among the previous batch of old disciples, there are only seven or eight good ones who can break through to the third level of Qi Refining within a year."

"Before I thought that the number of fairy seedlings this year would be about the same as in previous years."

"I never thought that four more people would come before the deadline before the end of the year."

Elder Shi slowly stood up, twirling his beard and smiling.

Even if Luo Yan and the others were able to break through to the third level of Qi refining in one year, it was already amazing.

But in fact, there are still a few extremely talented guys who obtained the tokens belonging to the outer disciples a few months ago.

In other words, Luo Yan and the four of them could only catch up with the talented disciples.

Compared with the true geniuses of cultivation, they are still far behind.

"The number of the lower courtyards of my Five Elements Temple is so large. The fairy seedling seeds cultivated by Xiaohuangshan Academy this time are estimated to be at the forefront of all the lower courtyards."

"Not bad!"

After saying this, Elder Shi suddenly waved his sleeves.

Suddenly, Luo Yan felt dizzy. When he opened his eyes again, he felt as if he was in the vast galaxy. The stars were moving, the clouds were blazing, and the shining runes made the sky and the earth a shimmering blue.

The surrounding light and mist are hazy, mysterious and profound.

Suddenly, a round arch carved with runes appeared in front of them.

Luo Yan and his party were all shocked by this sudden scene.

After a while, the calm voice of the old man in gray robe softly sounded in their ears:

"You have been able to reach the third level of Qi Refining in just one year, which shows that your talent and perseverance are quite good, and you are qualified to join my Five Elements Watch Outer Sect."

"I think in the past year, you all have more or less understood that the five elements of a person's body are divided into primary and secondary attributes."

"Of course you are the same."

Elder Shi paused for a moment, then continued:

"So it is very necessary to choose a sutra with specific attributes as your main practice."

"To put it simply, your natural spiritual root attributes are fire and metal. You can practice both types of exercises. So, is it better for you to choose metal-based exercises or fire-based exercises? "

"Although you know that you have a spiritual root with dual attributes of fire and metal, it is unknown whether you are more close to the fire attribute or more metallic."

"Once you choose the wrong major technique, it will affect your subsequent practice progress." Elder Shi gave Luo Yan and the others a brief introduction about the attributes of spiritual roots and the importance of choosing a suitable practice technique. .

Then, he pointed to the rune arch behind him.

"The purpose of this door is to use the power of 'runes' to test your affinity to various original spiritual root attributes."

"So that you can know which scripture of attributes you should choose as your main practice."

"When you step into this door, the color corresponding to your own attributes will light up. Red is fire, green is wood, and blue is water."

"Corresponding to the mountain behind my 'Taihe Hall', the five cultivation peaks of gold, wood, water, fire and earth."

"If your main skill is metallic, then joining Jinxing Peak is the most suitable for you, because Jinxing Peak has the highest concentration of metallic aura."

"Of course, if you want to choose other mountains that do not focus on martial arts attributes due to personal reasons, that is also possible."

"This is all I can teach you."

"The road of spiritual practice is long and boring. I hope you can always maintain your true intentions and move forward!"

Elder Shi gave Luo Yan and others a detailed explanation about the rune arch, the colors that lit up on it, and the corresponding meanings of the five elements spiritual roots.

This is related to their future path, and the old Taoist priest appears to be very patient.

Perhaps Elder Shi's words contained too much information. After Luo Yan and the four of them listened, they looked at each other.

No one stepped forward to touch the door immediately.

For a moment, it seemed a little cold.

"Let's do it first!"

The two teenagers who came together after Luo Yan looked at each other, and one of them walked straight towards the arched door under the starry sky.

As soon as he stood under the door, he was engulfed in a burst of white light.

Then the runes on the door erupted into a bright light of red and green intertwined until it finally turned completely red.

It seems that this young man in brocade has spiritual roots with both fire and wood attributes.

Among them, fire attribute qualifications are better than wood attributes.

Then, the girl who arrived first came forward again, and the door turned blue again.

Luo Yan, who was standing not far away, watched them step forward one after another, secretly reciting in his heart:

"Zero, check the current environment. Is it the real world?"

"Data entry starts and analysis is in progress."

"There is no abnormality in the environment, and there is no abnormality in spatial fluctuations."

"According to the host's own spiritual feedback, the light and shadow refraction fluctuates abnormally."

"Chip self-test in progress."

"Key information is missing and no firm conclusions can be drawn"

The biochip in the mind begins to automatically analyze data information based on the current scene.

Rows of light blue messages soon appeared in front of Luo Yan's eyes.

Looking at the information given by the bio-smart chip, the corners of Luo Yan's mouth twitched.

There is a feeling: it feels the same with or without you.

If you think about it carefully, you can actually understand it.

This is a world that can be practiced, and it contains many great powers beyond the imagination of the world.

However, the intelligent biochip analyzes things based on the knowledge level of Luo Yan's previous life.

The starry morning glow in the sky may seem illusory, but in fact it is an extremely real picture.

Even Luo Yan himself felt confused and couldn't tell whether it was the real starry sky or a false mirage.

Based on this situation, it is normal for the chip to be unable to give an answer.

"Zero, from now on record the changes in runes around you, enter them into a separate database, and make independent file annotations - runes."

Luo Yan glanced at the runes that sometimes appeared and sometimes disappeared in the void, and secretly gave instructions in his heart.

There are runes on the door, and there are also runes in this particular space.

Although he didn't know the role these runes played here, he had a hunch that these flickering runes would definitely be encountered in the near future.

And very important!

After Luo Yan came out of the door, Elder Shi's eyes lingered on him for a while, as if he was curious about his qualifications in the three spiritual roots and how he could cultivate so fast.

Under normal circumstances, it would be absolutely impossible for him to reach the third level of Qi Refining in just one year with his spiritual root qualifications.

This cannot be achieved with perseverance alone.

But after all, the old Taoist priest is well-informed. He has stayed in the Five Elements Temple for a lifetime and has met many talented disciples.

So I was just slightly surprised.

It’s not as if more outrageous things have never happened before.

So soon, he withdrew his scrutinizing gaze.

After coming out of the rune arch, Luo Yan knew the attributes of the spiritual roots in his body, although they were composed of three spiritual roots: earth, wood, and water.

But the wood attribute spiritual root has the highest affinity.

However, judging from the flickering light on the rune arch, the affinity gap between these three spiritual root attributes is actually not that big.

When choosing exercises, earth and water attribute exercises can also be practiced.

Elder Shi took out a jade volume and flipped through it. After comparing the appearance of each of them, he threw them a jade token.

The front of the jade tablet is a simple Taoist temple with the word "Five Elements" written on it, and their names are on the back.

"The jade plaque requires your blood to activate. After activation, you can go to the 'Sutra Collection Pavilion' to receive the exercises, the 'Miscellaneous Affairs Hall' to receive the Taoist robes, and at the beginning of each month you can go to the 'Gongde Hall' to receive a bottle of Qi Gathering Pill."

"If you don't want to use the Qi Gathering Pill, you can exchange it for ten contribution points."

"The sect's contribution points can be used to redeem spells, magic weapons, elixirs, talismans, and to consult individual elders for individual guidance on practice matters, etc."

"In short, in the sect, contribution points are almost omnipotent."

"Outer disciples need to go to the 'General Affairs Hall' to complete an exclusive task every month. Otherwise, ten contribution points will be deducted. If you fail to complete it three times in a row, your personal welfare benefits for the year will be cancelled."

"And you need to break through to the late stage of Qi refining before the age of twenty-five, otherwise your identity tokens will be withdrawn."

"Okay, this is what I want to tell you. It's time for you to go back."

Elder Shi waved his hand, flicked his sleeves again, and sent them outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

After bidding farewell to Elder Shi, Luo Yan and others came to the back mountain.

What comes into view are five mountain ranges shrouded in super large formations, which are the Five Elements Peaks in Elder Shi's mouth.

Because the aura properties on each mountain peak are different, they are named after the corresponding Five Elements Peaks!

Elder Shi gave Luo Yan their jade tokens, which would allow them to enter the five peaks unimpeded.

When Luo Yan and the four of them came out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, although they were walking together, they had their own differences at this time.

The girl who looked like a beautiful girl went to Shui Xing Peak, while the other two boys chose Jin Xing Peak.

Thinking of his affinity with the three spirit roots, Luo Yan thought for a while and found Mu Lingfeng.

There were many uninhabited courtyards on the mountainside of Muling Peak. Luo Yan randomly selected one and used the jade tablet to activate the sound insulation formation.

In an instant, the chirping of insects and birds in the forest disappeared without a trace. Compared with before, it was indeed much quieter.

However, the huge courtyard seemed a bit empty with only him living there.
