The True Thousand Gold Possessions of the Myriad Realms Trading System

Chapter 329 Cultivation Dimension

Upon arriving in the new dimension, as usual, we sent out drones to scout the situation.

Yu Qingqing, who was visiting for the first time, and the other three newcomers were excitedly looking out the window: "It's really changed. It's not the same place anymore. It's become the wilderness. It's amazing!"

They chattered excitedly, and after a moment, Yu Qingqing looked excitedly at Ruan Mianmian: "Mianmian, can you guess what kind of world it is outside based on your experience? Could it be a world of cultivation? Ah, the world of cultivation is what I yearn for most when I read novels! Flying on swords, how cool is that!"

Although flying swords are already available for sale in this dimension, no one has yet taken to fly on them when everyone sets off to travel to other dimensions. This is because flying licenses are very difficult to obtain, and those who have bought flying machines are still struggling to get their licenses.

"I never would have guessed that trading across dimensions is random." Ruan Mianmian shook her head as she watched the footage transmitted back by the drone, and suddenly exclaimed, "My God, it looks like someone is flying in the sky."

"Really?" Yu Qingqing and the three newcomers excitedly crowded around at the same time: "Where?"

The large screen was simultaneously playing the content from the small screen, and those with experience, such as Tang You, simply looked up at the large screen.

Everyone became nervous.

There are only three possibilities for humans to fly in the sky: a high-tech world, a high-martial arts world, and a world of immortal cultivation.

Regardless of which dimension it is, it is something everyone yearns for.

What's worrying is that if it really is one of the three planes—the high-tech one and the cultivation plane—the goods in the mall might not sell well. At that time, everyone will have to use their own unique skills and crafts to make money—like making TV series and movies and picking up trash in the Federation.

If it's a world of high-level martial arts, then the items in the mall will still sell very well.

Fearing that the aircraft would be discovered, Gu Shi controlled it to stop in a tree.

A short while later, several elegant men and women, dressed in flowing robes, flew past the forest in a flying boat, and the words "spiritual root" could be faintly heard.

Ruan Mianmian grabbed Yu Qingqing's hand: "Qingqing, your luck is amazing! This is truly a cultivation world!"

"A cultivation world!" Everyone was extremely excited.

Tang You and Gu Shi were especially excited. No matter which dimension they were in, their biggest concern was Ruan Mianmian's safety.

Now that they've come to a cultivation world, if Ruan Mianmian embarks on the path of cultivation and can roam freely in this world, they won't have to worry about her safety.

Yu Qingqing asked excitedly, "The people on that flying boat just now said they were testing spiritual roots, so should we go too? What if we're late and miss the opportunity?"

Ruan Mianmian thought for a moment and said, "Let's send someone out to find out the situation first. If there is no danger and it is indeed a test of spiritual roots, then notify the people who are staying at the mall to participate in the spiritual root test."

If cultivation manuals can be bought outside, it's fine for them not to test their spiritual roots and join a sect. But if there are no manuals outside and they can only join a sect, then they will definitely choose a sect to join and obtain the cultivation manuals.

Although everyone initially thought of taking the technological route to leave the solar system as soon as possible, if there were a cultivation route to choose from, which would allow everyone to cultivate immortality and extend their lifespan, then everyone would definitely choose the cultivation route.

After Ruan Mianmian finished speaking, everyone discussed for a minute and decided that Tang You and Gu Shi would go out to find out the situation, while the others would stay in the mall.

Having made their decision, Tang You and Gu Shi quickly changed into a set of ethereal-looking clothes and set off.

Professor Zhao played the footage from the drone several times and said, "These people look ethereal and their actions are not at all sleazy, so they're probably not bad people. You should get ready first. If we can test their spiritual roots, we can leave immediately."

Ruan Mianmian wholeheartedly agreed and hurriedly led the large group, separating men and women, to find ancient clothing.

After changing her clothes, she noticed that only a few of the young people had changed, while the professors hadn't. She was surprised and asked, "Professor Zhao, why didn't you change your clothes?"

“We’re too old, we’ve missed the best time for cultivation, so there’s no need for us to go,” Professor Zhao said calmly.

Professor Li nodded: "Maybe they won't even let us test our spiritual roots because of our age, so there's no need for us to make things difficult for them."

The other professors nodded in agreement.

Seeing that they spoke calmly, but there was bitterness in their eyes, Ruan Mianmian knew that they were very reluctant to give up this opportunity.

He immediately said, "If my spiritual root is tested and I can cultivate, I can extend my lifespan. What's wrong with making this trip to extend my lifespan?"

Although books say that it is most suitable to test one's spiritual root in one's teens and that it is unnecessary to do so when one is older, those are all written by modern authors. Who knows if the real world of cultivation is like that?

After hearing Ruan Mianmian's words, the professors were all intrigued.

Professor Li quickly spoke up: "Mianmian is right. So what if we get rejected? We're all so old. What's a few rejections? Come on, let's go change our clothes. If we're lucky enough to have the chance to cultivate, we can live for several more decades. For that reason alone, I won't even flinch when people scold me."

As soon as Professor Li spoke, the other professors nodded in agreement and quickly went to change their clothes.

They had just changed their clothes and came out when Ruan Mianmian received a call from Tang You: "Mianmian, come quickly! This is a spiritual root test. Anyone can have their spiritual root tested, and then they will choose a sect based on their spiritual root. Come quickly, head east."

Ruan Mianmian put the call on speakerphone, and everyone could hear Tang You's unusually excited tone.

At that moment, everyone got excited and immediately went out, boarded the aircraft, and flew at low altitude, heading straight to the east.

On the way, Tang You sent another message, instructing everyone to fly at low altitude and disembark from the aircraft not far from the town entrance, then walk in.

Ruan Mianmian and her group did as instructed and soon arrived at the city gate.

Looking up at the city gate, Ruan Mianmian and her group were all shocked: "It's taller, bigger, and more magnificent than the Xi'an city wall. Those things floating in the air must be the methods of immortal cultivators, right?"

Just as the group was stunned by the city wall, Fang Yang suddenly exclaimed, "My God, is that the Vermilion Bird?"

Ruan Mianmian and the others immediately looked up.

Not far to the south, a bird, as dazzling as if it were burning with flames, flapped its wings and flew swiftly towards them.

It wasn't until they flew closer that everyone noticed a person dressed in white sitting on the Vermilion Bird's back. The person's hair fluttered along with the white robes, and it was impossible to tell whether they were male or female.

However, everyone soon found out, because people both inside and outside the city exclaimed, "It's the Vermilion Bird Immortal Lord! My goodness, I'm so lucky to have the honor of seeing the Vermilion Bird Immortal Lord."

The Vermilion Bird Immortal Lord is a man.

Fang Yang and the group of male comrades all showed expressions of anticipation.

So handsome, so pretentious, so damn cool!

Ruan Mianmian noticed that as the beautiful Vermilion Bird flew over, all kinds of birds and beasts inside and outside the city fell silent and became extremely docile.

Is this the bloodline suppression of lower animals by higher divine beasts?

As Ruan Mianmian and her group were completely mesmerized by the sight, a voice urged them from behind: "Are you coming or not? If not, let us go in first—"

Ruan Mianmian snapped out of her daze and immediately urged everyone to go into the city first.

After entering the city, there was no need to ask anyone. Just by looking up, one could see the phantoms of immortals fighting with hand seals in the sky above the city, with colorful lights all around, forming a peculiar pattern.

With just a glance, Ruan Mianmian knew that was the place for testing spiritual roots, so she hurried in that direction.

I was stopped not far away.

Several men and women dressed in blue robes stopped Ruan Mianmian and her entourage with smiles on their faces: "Are you going to have your spiritual roots tested? Please go ahead, there's no need for your elders to see you off."

Ruan Mianmian said with a smile, "Greetings, fellow senior brothers. We are indeed going to have our spiritual roots tested. As for our elders, they didn't come to see us off; they also wanted to have their spiritual roots tested."

The man and woman in blue stared in disbelief: "What? They're also testing spiritual roots?"

“That’s right.” Ruan Mianmian smiled and glanced at the embarrassed Professor Zhao and the others, then continued to the man and woman in blue, “None of us or our elders have ever had our spiritual roots tested, so we’d like to test if we have any talent. There shouldn’t be an age limit for testing spiritual roots, right?”

The men and women dressed in blue were stunned: "There is no age limit, but..." They all felt that the older ones could not possibly have spiritual roots, but according to the rules, they really shouldn't stop people, so they were in a dilemma.

Finally, a beautiful woman who was leading the group said, "There is indeed no age limit. You can all go in together."

"Senior Sister—" the others called out.

The senior sister smiled and said, "It's just a few more people participating in the spiritual root test, it's not a big deal." After saying that, she waved to Ruan Mianmian and the others, "Go quickly, the next round of spiritual root testing is about to begin."

Ruan Mianmian thanked the men in blue robes and, surrounded by them, continued walking towards the place where there were phantom images in the sky.

When they reached the west of the phantom, they discovered that the phantom was astonishingly large, the size of two large sports fields, completely covering the equally sized square below.

The square was filled with young men and women, as well as some boys and girls around twelve or thirteen years old.

Upon seeing Ruan Mianmian and her group arrive, several men and women in pink greeted them, "The next round is about to begin. Come over quickly to register and get your ID number, then go inside and stand there, just follow instructions." They then added, somewhat speechlessly, that Ruan Mianmian and her group were being inconsiderate, having their elders bring them in to have their spiritual roots tested.

Helpless, Ruan Mianmian explained that Professor Zhao and the others were also there to have their spiritual roots tested, since they had never had it done before.

After a brief discussion about whether there was an age limit, the man and woman in pink silently registered Professor Zhao and his group and gave them number plates.

After finishing these tasks, Tang You and Gu Shi, who had been scouting the area, came over and said, "It seems like all we need to do is stand inside and follow orders. Come on, let's go in first—"

Ruan Mianmian and her group walked into the large square and looked around in surprise.

Yu Qingqing asked, "Why is no one in line?"

"There's no need to queue, just stand in this crystal plaza," Tang You told him what she had just found out.

After listening, Ruan Mianmian looked down at her feet and saw sparkling stones embedded not far away. She couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Huh, are these sparkling stones the legendary crystals?" The more she talked, the more curious she became, so she simply squatted down and touched the sparkling stones.

Upon seeing this, Yu Qingqing and the others also squatted down and started touching it.

The people around laughed and said, "What a country bumpkin! What's so great about touching this crystal?"

Someone immediately retorted, "What are you bragging about? Have you ever seen crystals of this quality before?"

The man who had been laughing at him immediately blushed: "So what if I've never seen them before? At least I'm not some country bumpkin touching them like that. These guys are obviously country bumpkins from who-knows-where... Look what I found! There are even old men and women here, hahaha, this is hilarious!"

Ruan Mianmian stood up, her pretty face hardening: "What's it to you? Mind your own business!"

Yu Qingqing walked up to Ruan Mianmian and said, "Yeah, what's it to you?"

Among the newcomers who came along this time, Lu Ling, who was particularly quick-witted, said:

"Isn't cultivating immortality about facing your own heart? We've never seen these crystals before, so we want to touch them; it's simply following our hearts. But you, even though you've never seen them before and are incredibly curious, you're too proud to touch them. This shows you're someone who refuses to acknowledge your inner desires. What's the point of cultivating like you? You're destined for nothing!"

The man who had been mocking Professor Zhao and the others was now being talked about by several people at once. He trembled with anger and pointed at Lu Ling, saying, "You dare say I'm useless? I think you bumpkins are the useless ones! We'll test your spiritual roots later and I'll show you my genius!"

After saying that, he made a decision in his heart: once he entered his desired sect with his good spiritual root, he would definitely make Ruan Mianmian and her group pay.

Of course, the exceptionally beautiful woman was used as a maid for menial tasks and to warm the bed!

Although Ruan Mianmian and the others didn't know if they had any talent, they were determined not to lose face in this argument, so they sneered, "Heh, let's see what kind of genius you are!"

At this moment, the colorful lights in the sky became even more dazzling.

Then a majestic voice rang out: "The third round of spiritual root testing for the summer enrollment in Baiyang City, Eastern Continent, in the year of Xinhai is about to begin. All participants are requested to place their number plates on the center of their foreheads and follow the instructions for ten breaths."

Upon hearing this, Ruan Mianmian and the others stopped arguing and didn't even have time to lament that the spiritual root test was different from what was written in novels. They immediately pasted the number plate in the center of their foreheads.

But while doing this, everyone was thinking, "Where are the instructions? Just stick it on and follow them."

The moment the thought arose in my mind, it was as if I "saw" lines of text, or as if someone had imprinted the words into my brain. My brain subconsciously issued instructions to my body based on the words, and I desperately absorbed them according to the instructions.

Unable to control herself, Ruan Mianmian followed the instructions, silently counting how long ten breaths was.

Just then, she suddenly heard exclamations of surprise: "My God, a Heavenly Spiritual Root!"

Heavenly Spiritual Root?

Isn't that a standard requirement for geniuses in novels?

What exactly is a Heavenly Spiritual Root?

Ruan Mianmian was extremely excited. Estimating that ten breaths had passed, she immediately opened her eyes and looked around.

Upon that glance, she immediately held her breath.

The scene before my eyes is absolutely beautiful!

It was as if the sky was filled with a dazzling array of rainbows!

Above the heads of many people, beams of light of different colors appeared, as dazzling as rainbows.

Does this mean everyone has a spiritual root?

Ruan Mianmian looked closely and realized that some people had a single-colored beam of light above their heads, some had two-colored beams of light, and some had three-colored or four-colored beams of light, but some people had nothing above their heads at all.
