"Do you know where there is work to do?" Xiao Han was silent for a while, and suddenly asked.

"Well, work?" Chen Wenxuan was a little confused by Xiao Han's question. After a long while, he asked back: "Brother Xiao, why are you in a hurry to find work?"

Xiao Han was also straightforward and said directly: "I want to get some contribution points, otherwise I can't even get into places like Wanbao Pavilion."

"Oh, that's it!" Chen Wenxuan looked as if he had suddenly realized something, and then explained to Xiao Han: "Brother Xiao, it's like this, the sect has a rule that disciples like you who have just arrived at the sect will not be assigned miscellaneous work. Only after you have tested your spiritual roots will you be assigned. Of course, in addition to doing miscellaneous work, there are many ways to get contribution points, such as taking some valuable spiritual medicines, magic tools, talismans, etc., to the Contribution Hall to exchange, and even You can buy it with Yuanshi. "

"But it's not worthwhile to go to the Contribution Hall to exchange for contribution points, because the old man in charge of the Contribution Hall is simply a ruthless person, very evil, he must cheat you to death, even those old disciples who have been in the sect for a few years are cheated by him, so newcomers like you who have just arrived at the sect can't go there. "

"Brother Xiao, in fact, I think that you can take the opportunity to get familiar with the sect first, because after you have tested your spiritual roots, you will not only have to practice every day, but also do miscellaneous work within your responsibility, so you won't have so much time..."

After listening, Xiao Han nodded symbolically and said, "Oh, that's right."

There was a short silence!

Chen Wenxuan said again: "Brother Xiao, if you want to buy something in Wanbao Pavilion for the time being, you can use my contribution points first. Wanbao Pavilion only recognizes contribution points and will not verify your identity. However, my contribution points are only enough to buy some low-level skills, secret techniques, or elixirs. If you want to buy something slightly better, you may have to find another way."

Hearing this, Xiao Han's cold face finally eased a lot. He glanced at Chen Wenxuan's white jade waist badge and said: "No, I'm just talking casually."

In the following time, Chen Wenxuan took Xiao Han to familiarize himself with many places in the sect, such as the Contribution Hall, the Law Enforcement Hall, the Transmission Pavilion, etc., as well as the places where swordsmen were practiced and taught on weekdays. Moreover, under Chen Wenxuan's strong invitation, Xiao Han also went into Wanbao Pavilion to take a look, but only on the first floor and strolled around casually.

Chen Wenxuan was right. His contribution points were only enough to buy a few low-level items, and they were particularly cheap. The value of things above the second floor was far from comparable to the first floor, so Chen Wenxuan did not dare to let Xiao Han go up, because he felt that it was a waste of time to see it.

In the end, two contribution points were wasted, and the two of them walked around without buying anything!

In fact, it was not that Xiao Han did not want to buy it, but he was a little reluctant. He saw a kind of elixir for strengthening the essence, called "Juyuan Pill", which was not bad and was very suitable for disciples like him who had just broken through the bottleneck. However, that elixir cost a full twenty contribution points, which was not affordable for Chen Wenxuan. After all, after paying two contribution points to enter the Wanbao Pavilion, the silver number on Chen Wenxuan's white jade waist card was only thirty-five in total.

Xiao Han followed Chen Wenxuan around for a whole day. Although he didn't buy anything, he spent eight contribution points and three low-grade Yuanshi. These may not seem like much, but for Chen Wenxuan, who has mediocre qualifications and lives at the bottom of the sect, it is a considerable expense.

Although the cost of the day is not small, Chen Wenxuan is happy with it and doesn't seem to feel any pain at all. After all, after a day of getting along, he and Xiao Han have become closer.

After a period of getting along, Xiao Han gradually discovered that although Chen Wenxuan looks a little exaggerated, he is a good person. The most important thing is that even if he is a little smooth and likes to take advantage of small things, he is still a good person and not a treacherous and cruel person.

In the following days, Xiao Han lived a leisurely life as usual. In addition to practicing hard, he followed Chen Wenxuan to familiarize himself with everything in the sect. At the same time, it also made him firm in his decision to agree to let Chen Wenxuan follow him. If Chen Wenxuan hadn't accompanied him these days, it would take him at least several times longer to familiarize himself with everything.

More than 20 days passed in a flash...

That morning, Xiao Han was meditating in his own cave. Suddenly, his slightly closed eyes suddenly opened, because he felt that someone outside the cave was constantly touching the restrictions.

"Hu..."

He took a deep breath, slowly got up, and although the restrictions in the cave were simple, they were extremely domineering. Unless a great cultivator with extremely high cultivation broke it forcefully, outsiders could not get in at all, so he was very calm.

After more than 20 days of practice, his seventh level of Qi training was finally completely consolidated. Next, he would slowly and quickly accumulate the energy in his body, and when the time was right, he would break through the eighth level in one fell swoop. At the same time, his Nine Yang True Art had also been practiced to the fourth level, and he could condense four flaming balls at the same time, greatly increasing his power.

After getting up, Xiao Han slightly circulated his true energy, raised his hand casually, and the restriction of the Dao Cave was instantly lifted.

At this time, before he could react, the fat Chen Wenxuan had already squeezed in in a hurry, panting and sweating.

"Xiao... Senior Brother Xiao, why are you still...still in the Dao Cave! All the new disciples have gone to the spirit inspection platform!" Chen Wenxuan was panting, and his words were naturally a little unsmooth.

"Go to the Spiritual Testing Platform?" Xiao Han repeated Chen Wenxuan's last words. He was stunned for a moment, but then he remembered that Chen Wenxuan had specifically told him yesterday that today was the first day of the month, and all the new disciples who joined the sect last month had to gather at the Spiritual Testing Platform to test their spiritual roots.

"Yes! In half an hour, the spiritual root test will begin!" Chen Wenxuan added, looking anxious, making people feel that it was not Xiao Han who needed to test his spiritual roots, but himself.

Xiao Han's cold and stiff face, at this time, forced out an awkward smile, and said: "Brother Chen, I'm sorry, I forgot about this when I was practicing."

"It's okay, it's okay!" Chen Wenxuan rolled his eyes at Xiao Han speechlessly, saying that he and Xiao Han were now quite familiar with each other, just like old friends who had known each other for several years.

"Brother Chen, I want to ask, that..." Xiao Han was about to ask something, but was interrupted by Chen Wenxuan, who urged him: "Brother Xiao, time is running out, you should hurry up! If you have any questions, you can ask me on the way."

After that, Chen Wenxuan turned around and led the way. Xiao Han shook his head and had to follow!

On the way, after Chen Wenxuan's careful explanation, Xiao Han realized that in Dongling, joining some slightly larger sects and factions requires a necessary process, which is the "spiritual root test".

In fact, even most of the independent cultivators in Dongling, and even some small cultivation families or sects, don’t know what “spiritual roots” are, not to mention people like Xiao Han who came from a small place in the Western Regions, who have never even heard of it. However, most people in Dongling know that if a person does not have “spiritual roots”, then there is no need to think about cultivating the truth, and he is destined to be a mortal for life, because if you don’t have “spiritual roots”, you can’t sense the vitality between heaven and earth, let alone absorb the vitality into the body and cultivate powerful magic.

In the Shenzhou Continent, there are hundreds of millions of people, but there are too few people who are born with “spiritual roots”. It is often one in a thousand or even one in ten thousand. However, even so, there are still less than one in a hundred people who have “spiritual roots” and can embark on the road of cultivation. Most people still live a mediocre life.

Because in the vast sea of ​​people, those with "spiritual roots" are too scattered. Even in Dongling, there are thousands of various large and small cultivation sects, and the number of people they can find with "spiritual roots" is extremely limited.

Therefore, if there is no certain opportunity, even if you have "spiritual roots", you cannot embark on the road of cultivation.

Everyone's body has five attributes of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. These are the basic attributes of life. Any creature in Shenzhou Continent is the same, without exception. However, for mortals without "spiritual roots", these five attributes in their bodies are quite weak and insufficient to sense the vitality of heaven and earth. The reason why people with "spiritual roots" can sense the vitality of heaven and earth is that one of the five attributes of their bodies is very prominent. For example, if someone has a prominent wood attribute and can sense the vitality of heaven and earth, then his spiritual root attribute is wood, also called "wood spiritual root". Similarly, if the fire attribute in the body is more prominent, then it is "fire spiritual root".

Of course, "spiritual roots" can be strong or weak, and there are more or less of them. After all, the only difference between ordinary mortals and people with "spiritual roots" who can sense the vitality of heaven and earth is that some attributes are particularly prominent. However, there is no specific limit on how much this is prominent. The assessment of whether one has "spiritual roots" is based solely on whether one can sense the vitality of heaven and earth.

Then, there is a problem. Some people have more prominent attributes; some people have less prominent attributes; and even some people just reach the level of being able to sense the vitality of heaven and earth.

This involves the level of spiritual root attributes. This is easy to understand. For people with more prominent attributes, the higher the level of spiritual root attributes, the easier it will be for him to sense the vitality of heaven and earth, and the faster he will naturally cultivate. On the contrary, for people with less prominent attributes, the lower the level of spiritual root attributes, the more difficult it will be for him to sense the vitality of heaven and earth, and the slower he will naturally cultivate.

In order to distinguish the strength of spiritual root attributes, the major top sects in Dongling have formulated a set of "spiritual root" level divisions since ancient times. They divide the spiritual root attributes into four grades and twelve levels according to the degree of prominence of the attributes, namely: low-level yellow, middle-level yellow, and high-level yellow; low-level Xuan, middle-level Xuan, and high-level Xuan; low-level earth, middle-level earth, and high-level earth; low-level heaven, middle-level heaven, and high-level heaven.

Generally speaking, the higher the level of spiritual root attributes, the higher the corresponding talent of the cultivator will be. Therefore, such people naturally become the object of competition among major sects. After all, the quality of the disciples they accept is directly related to the foundation and future of the sect. However, most of those who have "spiritual roots" have a yellow attribute level, and only a very small number of people can reach the Xuan level, and those who can squeeze into the earth level are even rarer. As for the so-called heaven level, the probability of its appearance is even more pitiful. Almost in the entire Dongling, only one will appear every few decades or even hundreds of years.

In addition to the corresponding "spiritual root" level, the type of spiritual root attribute that determines the level of a person's cultivation talent is also determined by the type of spiritual root attribute. After all, the world is so big that there are all kinds of things. Some people will have two or more outstanding attributes at the same time. Obviously, the speed at which such people absorb the vitality of heaven and earth must be much faster than those with one outstanding attribute. Naturally, their cultivation talent is also higher, so people with dual spiritual root attributes, or people with multiple spiritual root attributes, are also the darlings of major sects.

Of course, like high-level spiritual root attributes, people with dual or multiple spiritual root attributes are also extremely rare, and even more rare than high-level spiritual roots. It is said that even if they appear, they are almost all dual attributes, and it is rare to have three attributes at the same time. As for four or five types, they have never been heard of for thousands of years.

In addition, in addition to the five spiritual root attributes of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, as well as multiple spiritual root attributes, there are also some mutant spiritual root attributes, such as wind spiritual roots, thunder spiritual roots, dark spiritual roots, light spiritual roots, etc. Since these mutant spiritual root attributes are also extremely rare, and at the same time, this mutant spiritual root is more bizarre and domineering, they are also favored by the big brothers of the sect.

But then again, let alone those who have high-level "spiritual roots" above the earth grade and double, multiple "spiritual roots", or mutant "spiritual roots" are rare and amazing, even those low-level ordinary "spiritual roots" cannot be easily found by those cultivation sects.

After all, the people in the cultivation sects can't pull out the children of every household in the secular world for testing! You know, even people with low-level spiritual roots are one in a thousand, or even one in ten thousand.
