Plants vs. Cultivation.

Chapter 4 Handyman Disciple
"Line up for testing." The middle-aged man in green robe didn't waste any words. He took out a jade stone engraved with a special array pattern and placed it on the table that had been prepared long ago.

The function of this jade is to detect the spiritual energy in the target's body. Therefore, as long as the qi is drawn into the body, it can be sensed by the jade. And drawing qi into the body is the standard for finally staying and becoming a formal menial disciple of Qinglu Sect.

Following the words of the middle-aged man in green robe, everyone quickly lined up, and immediately one person stepped forward and placed his hand on the jade. Suddenly, the jade emitted a faint light.

"qualified!"

Seeing this, the middle-aged man in green robe nodded, and then handed over a bag. These were the supplies for those who had passed the test and officially became menial disciples of Qinglu Sect.

Soon, everyone lined up and came forward one by one. When different people touched the jade, the strength of the light emitted by the jade also varied. The intensity of the light meant the amount of spiritual energy in the body of the person being tested. Those who drew energy into their bodies earlier naturally accumulated more spiritual energy in their bodies than those who drew energy into their bodies later.

Whenever a situation occurs where the jade shines brightly, everyone present will look at it with envy.

Because the test was very simple, all you had to do was put your hand on the jade, so the test of hundreds of people went quickly, and soon it was Gu Mo's turn.

Seeing Gu Mo's face, the middle-aged man in green robe looked a little unhappy, because Gu Mo might be the only failure of his mission. He came to guide these menial disciples in their practice because of the sect's mission, and the completion of the mission was related to the reward he could get in the end.

"Ok?"

The middle-aged man in green robe, who was in a bad mood, felt slightly happy when he saw the jade stone emit a faint light after Gu Mo put it on it.

"Not bad!"

The middle-aged man in green robe gave him a rare compliment. Being able to complete the intake of Qi into the body at the last moment was indeed a surprise to him. In this way, he could complete the task smoothly.

Seeing the jade stone light up, Gu Mo breathed a sigh of relief, because he had completed the process of drawing Qi into the body through the essence of the sun, which was different from the normal way. Gu Mo was worried that his special method of drawing Qi into the body might lead to some unexpected events during the test.

Now everything seems to be normal. The essence of the sun can be regarded as a kind of spiritual energy, but it is a higher-level spiritual energy. As long as it is spiritual energy, this jade can detect it. As for the quality of spiritual energy, obviously this piece of jade used for menial disciples does not have the effect of detecting the quality of spiritual energy.

"From today on, you will be the official menial disciples of my Qinglu Sect. In the next year, what you have to do is to practice hard and enter the Qi Refining Stage as soon as possible. During this period, the senior brothers from each peak will come here to select people, and you can choose to join according to your wishes." The middle-aged man in green robe, who was in a good mood after successfully completing the sect's mission, said to everyone.

“However, if you still haven’t made a choice after one year, the sect will force you to be assigned a place. So, you’d better make your choice as early as possible. There are some popular places that have a lot of people who want to go there. If you’re late, those peaks won’t need people anymore.” After the middle-aged man in green robe explained the situation to everyone, he left.

As the middle-aged man in green robe left, the quiet square suddenly became lively. People gathered in groups of three or four, discussing which peak to go to in the future, or excitedly counting the treasures given by the sect in their bags.

Gu Mo also belongs to the latter, because the moment he got the sunflower, Gu Mo had already decided to become a spiritual farmer to manage the spiritual fields, and secretly plant sunflowers by the way.

Therefore, what Gu Mo was most concerned about at the moment was the treasures given by the sect. He opened the bag and found quite a few things inside, including an identity token for a menial disciple, a grey menial disciple robe, a Qi Refining Exercise Book, a bottle of Bigu Pills, three Qi Condensation Pills and three spirit stones.

In addition to proving one's identity, the identity token is also a certificate for accepting sect missions and recording contributions to the sect. Although the errand disciple robe is not good-looking, it is a robe. Although it is not a robe of the highest rank, it also has the effect of being immune to cold and heat. If this is brought to the mortal world, it will definitely be regarded as a treasure of the immortal family.

As for the technique called Qi Jue Jue, it was mediocre in every aspect, and its only advantage was that its cultivation speed was one of the fastest among techniques of its grade. It was very suitable for menial disciples who needed to cultivate as quickly as possible and work hard for the sect.

The remaining pills and spirit stones are the materials for cultivation. In order to let everyone practice with all their strength, the sect gave them a bottle of fasting pills. This way, even if they practice in seclusion for several days in a row, it will not be a problem. Combined with pills like the Qi Condensing Pill that can improve their cultivation level, it will take only one year to move from drawing Qi to refining Qi. Even if they have inferior spiritual roots, it will not be a big problem.

After counting the supplies distributed by the sect, Gu Mo couldn't help but sigh at the benefits of joining a large sect. This was just a menial disciple. If he were an outer or inner sect disciple, he couldn't imagine how many resources he could get.

Of course, the sect has spent so many resources, and will have to earn it back from them in the future.

"Gu Mo!"

After counting the supplies, Gu Mo was about to leave when he suddenly heard someone calling him. He turned around in confusion, as if he didn't have any acquaintances here.

"How many of you are..."

Gu Mo looked at the four people walking towards him. The leader was a young man in gorgeous clothes. From his clothes, it could be seen that the other party's family background was extraordinary. Of course, this was just an ordinary family background.

When one comes to a sect of immortal cultivation, cultivation and spiritual talent are the most important. If one's spiritual roots are not good, no matter how high one's status in the mortal world is, one will still be a menial disciple.

"Yao Shifeng!"

The young man in fancy clothes smiled and bowed.

Hearing the other party's introduction, Gu Mo immediately thought that he was among those people who made the jade shine brightly before. Those people were definitely the best among the menial disciples present, but he just didn't know why the other party came to find him.

"I heard that you, Gu Mo, are also from the Great Xia Dynasty, and we are all from the Great Xia." After greeting, Yao Shifeng stated the purpose of his visit.

"The path of cultivation is long and full of risks. If we have a few good friends who can lend a hand when we are in trouble, maybe we can get through it. We all come from the Great Xia Dynasty, and we should unite and go further on the path of cultivation together." After saying that, Yao Shifeng looked at Gu Mo with a smile on his face, waiting for his reply.

Faced with Yao Shifeng's invitation, Gu Mo agreed after a brief thought. Although he was not from the same hometown as everyone else, he agreed with Yao Shifeng's words. Who would not encounter some difficulties on the road of cultivation? Compared to facing them alone, it would be best if someone could help.

This is only the case within a sect with relatively strict rules. If it were a casual cultivator, it would be extremely difficult to find a few good friends on the path of cultivation. If one is not careful, one might be killed.
