"In addition, there is also aptitude and root bone!"
"Most orthodox cultivators of the sect go through a detailed test before entering the sect. Even their magic phase has specific data, after which they can choose their fundamental technique and supporting technique!"
Bai Xianyin mentioned this matter with exceptional seriousness.
Zhang Jian smiled and said, "It seems the sect is quite professional in this regard!"
Isn't this just targeted training!
Bai Xianyin was slightly taken aback. "Professional?"
She immediately nodded and said, "It is indeed professional, using minimal resources to maximize the sect's growth and focusing every power at the cutting edge. This is the iron rule left by the ancestor!"
Zhang Jian's eyes flickered slightly.
He wasn't surprised.
Wherever there are strong individuals, they naturally excel. If one is good for nothing, how can they hold their ground among the mighty?
The two flew deep into the Divine Mountain, using a forbidden technique, passing through various Danque. Zhang Jian could sense some different cultivators inside noticed their presence and looked at them with either curiosity or indifference.
Seeing such a scene for the first time, Zhang Jian remained calm and didn't look around.
But Zhang Jian could tell that the Divine Mountain Dao Lineage is quite prosperous. Even if it is just the tip of the iceberg, he has already discovered the presence of hundreds of cultivators.
Soon, with the power of the forbidden technique, they arrived in front of a majestic pavilion on the mountainside.
"This is it!"
Bai Xianyin pointed at a large plaque.
"Spirit Testing Mountain Residence!"
This name is quite unique, like the hidden retreat of a cultivator. Outside, at this time, there are four or five young figures in sky blue robes from the Zhi Family. Upon seeing Bai Xianyin and Zhang Jian arrive, they immediately looked over, smiling and greeting them proactively. They were evidently very familiar with Bai Xianyin.
"Aunt Xianyin, is this a newcomer from the Zhanmo Lineage?"
The leading one, an older cultivator, looked at Zhang Jian with a smile.
It seems Bai Xianyin has pretty good relations within the Divine Mountain!
This young man appears very enthusiastic, though he looks a bit curious at Zhang Jian.
Evidently, the news of a new true disciple from the Zhanmo Lineage has long since spread.
At this moment, Bai Xianyin stepped forward boldly and said, "Yang Town, is it your turn on duty this time?
Perfect timing, quickly register us and open the array. Our young master needs to test his spirit root, aptitude, and magical power phase. Speed up; the young master is here with his soul, and prolonged time might damage his flesh body!"
The cultivator known as Yang Town nodded in acknowledgment.
"Aunt Xianyin, rest assured, it won't take long!"
Zhang Jian glanced at these cultivators with slight waves in his eyes. He noticed that most of these cultivators hadn't established their foundation through divination yet, except for Yang Town and another disciple with a cold demeanor, who seemed to be in charge here.
Each of these disciples hurriedly began to move, some pushing pen and ink towards Zhang Jian for him to fill in, occasionally casting curious glances at him. Facing these looks, Zhang Jian also slightly nodded in response.
"It seems the cultivation atmosphere within the Divine Mountain Lineage is quite good. Although resources are scarce, and there is some competition, disputes aren't evident, which is quite commendable!"
Zhang Jian thought silently!
Cultivation is not like earning a salary; it's a matter of life and death. Having such an atmosphere indicates that the Divine Mountain Lineage is fairly united internally.
However, this situation will inevitably lead to one outcome: to gain benefits within the sect, one truly needs to follow the sect's rules and demonstrate sufficient aptitude and ability.
Zhang Jian pondered inwardly that this was for the best.
Of course, if it were a purgatory-level competition model, to be honest, he wouldn't be afraid either.
Soon after, Zhang Jian was first arranged into a room filled with stone steles.
In the spacious room, each stone stele is of a different color, surrounded by various spiritual lights of different attributes.
Yang Town, beside him, gave a brief explanation, and Zhang Jian understood how to test.
The test is simple, just have the divine thought resonate with any stone stele and go forward for testing.
Nearby, someone was keeping records according to the scales on the steles.
Zhang Jian's eyes slightly flickered, his expression somewhat solemn, knowing that this test is crucial to his future.
However, he was quite confident in this aspect.
Previously, he sensed that he had outstanding aptitude in the phases of fire and lightning.
Additionally, he consumed many celestial treasures, many of which can cleanse the marrow, enhance divine wisdom, and even improve the spirit root.
Amid the gazes of several disciples from the Spirit Testing Mountain Residence, Zhang Jian first approached a red spirit stele, trying each one in succession. Soon, several spirit steles began to glow, and different scales appeared.
Just glancing at it, Bai Xianyin's eyes immediately lit up.
"Spirit Root Fire, Thunder: Upper Upper"
"Spirit Root Gold, Wind: Upper Middle!"
"Pure Yang Spirit Root: Innate Unknown? Suspected special physique, recommended for in-depth examination of root bone aptitude?!"
Zhang Jian had seen the manifested results!
Zhang Jian also noticed on the posting beside about spirit root aptitude, with a detailed explanation. Generally, spirit root aptitude is divided into nine grades, from Lower Lower, Lower Middle, Lower Upper to Middle Lower, Middle, Middle Upper, then Upper Lower, Upper Middle, to Upper Upper.
He has two Upper Upper, undoubtedly suitable for focusing on fire and thunder magic. These two attributes will have significant bonuses in magic cultivation.
While gold and wind are Upper Middle, which indicates that cultivating these types of magic is also possible, though potentially slower.
However, these are considered excellent attributes!
Still, spirit root aptitude has never been absolute.
Having the aptitude is enough; more importantly, it's comprehension.
"Congratulations to this junior brother for testing four spirit roots, all of exceptional attributes!"
Beside him, Yang Town also wore a smiling face.
Zhang Jian slightly returned the greeting, as Bai Xianyin approached, her face filled with joy.
However, her gaze was particularly bright and fixated on the last line on the paper, urging aloud.
"Continue, the phase shouldn't need testing now, move directly to testing the physique!!"
Beside him, Yang Town nodded.
Seeing Zhang Jian's gaze, he smiled and said, "Junior brother, there are only two kinds of phase: Yang and Yin. Such as water attribute could be Gui Water and Ren Water, wood could be Jia Wood and Yi Wood. Since the junior brother possesses a Pure Yang Spirit Root, the phase must be Yang. Henceforth, choose Yang attribute magic for cultivation as much as possible. For instance, for fire, choose Bing Fire instead of D Fire, for gold, opt for Geng Metal over Xin Metal!"
"These are just small details that can help avoid detours!"
Zhang Jian nodded; although he said this verbally, these are indeed experienced words.
Then the two directly proceeded to the final stage.
The final test was more mysterious, set in a room full of mirrors, even the floor covered with ancient mirrors.
Zhang Jian stood among them, Bai Xianyin waited at the door for the result. Seeing Zhang Jian looking around, she smiled and said.
"Young master, don't be anxious, these treasure mirrors are all Bone Mirrors, they observe the bones, soul, and even the condition of the innate primordial qi within us cultivators, without affecting the cultivator!"
Although you are not here in physical form, the Heaven and Earth Profound Sect simulates your internal bones and qi, ensuring no error!"
