The original repairer

Shi Chen's spiritual roots were mixed and of inferior quality, and the process of cultivation was extremely difficult.

Continue practicing and be able to draw Qi into the body, convert it into spiritual power, and store it in the Dantian. Only then can you be considered to have completed a Great Circulation of Practice.

Storing a trace of spiritual power in the Dantian is the beginning of Qi training and the first level of Qi training.

The spiritual energy flows through the tendons, veins, roots and bones. The further back it goes, the more painful the tendons, veins and bones become.

Low-grade spiritual roots must fail many times before they can complete the first cycle of cultivation.

Shi Chen persisted for more than two hours, and then he fell into a coma.

Like an ant bite, like a needle prick.

The first practice ended in failure.

It took three days of rest for my body to recover.

The master said that if you use Qi-nourishing pills to assist in your first practice, you can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Shi Chen was very poor and couldn't even afford a single Qi-nourishing pill.

In the sect's barter pavilion, a bottle of Qi-nourishing Pills contains ten low-grade Qi-nourishing Pills, and is sold for three low-grade spirit stones. They are not sold individually.

A disciple who sells individual Qi-nourishing Pills can exchange three Qi-nourishing Pills for one low-grade spirit stone.

There are no resources for menial disciples who have just entered the sect. After half a year, if they pass the assessment, they will be given one low-grade spirit stone every month.

A-level menial workers receive three low-grade spirit stones per month.

There is still one month left before the six-month entry assessment. After two months of intermittent practice, Shi Chen feels that it will take two months to complete a cycle of practice at the current pace.

The first time I practiced, I only lasted two hours before I fell into a coma.

After asking the Master, and hearing His surprising answer, I realized that cultivation must be gradual and one should not take risks or rush into anything, or else one's tendons, veins, and bones will be ruined.

Cultivation must be done step by step. When practicing with low-grade spiritual roots for the first time and feeling pain in the tendons, veins, and bones, stop practicing. After twelve hours, the tendons, veins, and bones have recovered and you can practice again. Do this day after day, year after year, and draw spiritual energy into the body. The spiritual energy will flush the tendons, veins, and bones, and also nourish the body. After the body adapts, it will naturally come to fruition. The Zhoutian will be completed, the spiritual power will enter the Dantian, and you will enter the first level of Qi Refining.

After that, the spirit is stored in Dantian until the Dantian is saturated with spiritual power and the Qi refining reaches the perfect state.

The first test for entry-level menial workers, reaching the first level of Qi training within half a year.

Shi Chen has been practicing diligently for the past fifteen days, practicing for two or three hours every day, and stops when he feels tingling all over his body.

There will be an assessment in fifteen days. If you fail to reach the first level of Qi Refining, you will be expelled from the sect.

Within the sect, there was abundant spiritual energy, which greatly benefited cultivation. Outside the sect, the mountains and rivers containing spiritual energy were all occupied by spirits and monsters, or in the market town, owned by cultivation families. Finding a place with spiritual energy to cultivate was very difficult.

Shi Chen's roommate came back more than a month ago to move. He followed the outer disciples out on a mission and gained a chance to become an immortal. He was fortunate enough to break through to the third level of Qi Refining and move to a first-class menial room.

During the last five days, most of the new menial disciples studied the techniques in their own rooms.

Shi Chen was also making his final sprint. No matter whether his tendons, veins and bones could bear it or not, he would try to complete a cycle of qigong.

If you fall into a coma before completing it, you will have one last chance after three days of recuperation. This is a life-or-death gamble. If you can't enter the immortal realm, you can only live a mediocre life in the mortal world.

In the world of cultivation, the quality of one's spiritual roots can predict one's ultimate achievement. Shi Chen's spiritual roots are weak, and he can only make up for them with perseverance and determination.

It was very painful. Shi Chen had never experienced such pain in his life. He felt like thousands of ants were biting his body and thousands of needles were piercing his bones.

Every moment, it feels like bugs are gnawing at your flesh.

He was in a trance, as if he saw his mother, waving and caressing him.

The sound of my sister laughing and crying drifted past my ears.

My father was sweating profusely as he wielded a hoe in the field.

Shi Chen fell into a coma. Before he fell into a coma, the first cycle of Qi circulation was completed. A wisp of spiritual energy entered his dantian and wandered around in it.

Two days later, Shi Chen woke up with tingling all over his body, but he was very excited. He felt a wisp of spiritual power in his dantian, which was a sign of entering the first level of Qi training.

Having overcome the first great difficulty in cultivating immortals, no matter what level he can reach in the future, at least he can step into this circle and have the capital to walk in the world of cultivation.

You need to slowly strengthen the spiritual power in your Dantian, and after filling up your Dantian you can build the foundation.

The Qi training stage is divided into three stages: the early stage of Qi training, the middle stage of Qi training, and the late stage of Qi training.

For Shi Chen, building the foundation is still a long way off, and he feels unsure even about the late stage of Qi Refining.

Once one enters the Qi Refining Stage, one can stay in the sect for three years. After three years, one will be assessed. If one fails, he or she will be sent out of the sect to take up a long-term job in a mortal city or a Xiuxian market.

Shi Chen lay in bed for a whole day and got up only after his body recovered. He first filled his stomach, then went to the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall to test his cultivation, recorded it in the book, returned to his room, and began to practice.

Two days passed quickly. Shi Chen could only practice twice a day, each time lasting three and a half hours.

According to the records of the sect's Miscellaneous Affairs Hall, Shi Chen has passed the six-month assessment for newcomers. Today is the last day of the assessment, and all new servants are gathered in the sect square.

This year, 1,321 new menial disciples were recruited, and 311 of them passed the assessment. The rest can only stay in the sect if they are accepted as Taoist servants by outer disciples or above.

The rest of the people left the sect on their own within half an hour.

There are very few Taoist servants accepted by disciples above the outer sect level. Among the more than one thousand menial servants who failed the assessment, only twenty-three were accepted.

Being accepted as a Taoist servant means taking an oath to the master, and everything about you will be controlled by the master.

Half an hour later, only the menial disciples who had passed the test remained in the square of a thousand people.

There were some servants who had not passed the assessment and were making a fuss. After the sect's law enforcement team cast a spell and killed more than a dozen of them, the rest of the people left the sect like frightened birds and beasts.

Each hall under the sect began to assign menial tasks to those who passed the assessment.

The Equipment Refining Hall, Alchemy Hall, Talisman Hall, Formation Hall, Spirit Beast Hall, Spirit Plant Hall, Spirit Mine Hall, and Food Hall all selected servants one by one. A total of 311 people, and finally 16 people were left, including Shi Chen.

These sixteen people have inferior spiritual roots, or their spiritual root attributes do not meet the requirements of each hall.

The sect gave the choice: either return to the original menial work department to continue as consul, or become a spiritual farmer or miner.

Spiritual farmers and absentees are required to undergo assessments every year. If they fail the assessments, they will be expelled from the sect.

Shi Chen had been reading extensively over the past six months, and in his miscellaneous books, such as miscellaneous notes, travelogues, and handwritten diaries, he found references to the myriad arts of cultivation, including elixirs, instruments, talismans, formations, puppets, and so on. Mastering even a few of these, even if only knowing a few, could benefit him for a lifetime. With these skills as a supplement, his cultivation would be more stable.

To learn any of them, one needs outstanding qualifications, abundant resources, and most importantly, a teacher to guide and teach.

It is understood that whether it is refining weapons, talismans, formations, or puppets, one must learn the basics of spiritual patterns. Magical weapons, talismans, formations, and puppets all require the engraving of spiritual patterns.

On the other hand, Dandao requires the mastery of medicinal properties, the exertion of medicinal effects, precise extraction, and full control of the entire process.

Refining weapons, talismans, and formations requires burning spirit stones, and refining pills requires even more spirit stones than these three.

If the tool is not successfully refined, the embryo can be remelted and separated. Talismans can be drawn on brocade, sand, gravel, and soil for a long time. The base and pattern of the formation can all be replaced by substitutes. You can start formal production after you become proficient in it.

But it is different with elixirs. It is impossible to separate a batch of elixirs from the residue and reuse them. Alchemy can only be done from beginning to end.

If anything goes wrong during the process, the pill will be wasted.

The cost of alchemy is several times or even hundreds of times higher than that of any other art.
