This system is so brutal

Chapter 6 Your Balance Is Insufficient

After learning that Su Yaoyao would not affect him, Lu Chen heaved a sigh of relief, as long as Su Yaoyao didn't hinder him, then he would become a god just around the corner.

At this moment, the old man who went in to bring water to Lu Chen came out.

Seeing Lu Chen stepping on the stone railing and still giggling, he thought to himself: Could it be that this person has been crushed by the spiritual pressure and made him stupid?

There is a large spirit-gathering array on the top of the Seven Star Sect. The higher you go, the more spiritual energy you will have. But relatively, for those who haven't practiced much, the spiritual pressure will become very large, and the mental pressure will also increase.

In fact, one function of this stone ladder is to check whether the selected people can withstand the spiritual pressure. Those who cannot resist the spiritual pressure will be eliminated before they formally participate in the selection.

However, the Seven Star Sect has been established for thousands of years, and it seems that no one who signed up could not even pass this first test.

This section of the stone ladder is just the beginning. When they are officially selected, they will encounter the stone ladder with the spirit pressure echelon.

The old man walked up to Lu Chen cautiously, and asked, "Little brother, are you okay?"

At this moment, Lu Chen came back to his senses, and quickly coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment. He also knew that he was getting carried away.

"Senior, this is my ID card." Lu Chen handed his ID card to the old man.

After the old man took it, he gave the bowl of water to Lu Chen.

Lu Chen picked up the bowl and drank it.

After reading the ID card, the old man said to Lu Chen, "Come with me, and I'll take you to arrange accommodation."

"Thank you senior."

After returning the ID card to Lu Chen, the old man turned around and left, leading him to the place where the candidates were.

Lu Chen asked while walking: "Senior, when does the selection usually start?"

"It will officially start two days later, and it is still in the registration stage these days."

"Senior, how many people usually participate in the selection?"

Lu Chen is still more concerned about the number of people. The number of people can tell the difficulty of selection. If there are more people, the difficulty of selection may be higher. If there are fewer people, the standard will be lower.

After all, the purpose of the Zongmen's selection of disciples is to inject new vitality into the Zongmen, not just those old fritters.

"There may be more than 200 people who take the initiative to sign up every year. Including the active recruitment of inner disciples, there are about 300 people in one selection." The old man replied with a smile.

Every newcomer likes to ask this question. He has answered this question no less than a hundred times. These newcomers think that the selection is related to the number of people. Indeed, when other sects select new disciples, it is related to the number of people.

But the Seven Star Sect is different. The Seven Star Sect belongs to the kind of sect that can't recruit good seedlings and loses face. The standard of the Seven Star Sect has long been fixed. extraordinary.

"By the way, little brother, what kind of spiritual root are you?" The old man asked casually, not caring in his heart, because he knew that those who came to the Seven Star Sect to sign up were usually those with little qualifications.

Qualified ones are all inner disciples, or the elders of the sect recruit directly from the outside, and the current inner disciples are all recruited by those elders from the outside.

"Uh...broken spirit root." Lu Chen hesitated for a moment, but still answered the old man's question.

The old man said absent-mindedly: "Oh, it turned out to be a broken spirit root, it's okay."

Seeing his reaction, Lu Chen thought to himself: Sure enough, he is older and more knowledgeable, and his reaction to hearing the Broken Spirit Root was very dull.

However, the reality is not what Lu Chen thought.

After taking two steps forward, the old man suddenly realized, stopped and looked back at Lu Chen.

"What spiritual root did you just say you were?"

Lu Chen also stopped, and replied, "Broken spirit root."

……

After receiving Lu Chen's affirmative answer, the old man opened his mouth wide, with an incredulous expression on his face, and then said in his mouth: "Broken...broken spirit root..."

"Little brother, do you know what Broken Spirit Root means?" Although he didn't want to dampen Lu Chen's enthusiasm for cultivating immortals, the old man felt that it was necessary for him to recognize the reality, because the higher the expectation, the greater the disappointment.

"Eh...meaning that the number of spiritual roots has increased?" Lu Chen replied.

……

The old man sighed. Sure enough, the young man had great fantasies about cultivating immortals.

"It means that you may never be able to gather spiritual energy and practice in the future. Even if you pass the selection, you can only be a registered disciple. If you are a logistics worker, you may not even be as good as an outer disciple."

"Senior, I can learn the art of body training." Lu Chen said.

"Well, that's right." The old man didn't say anything more. He had seen many people who were so stubborn. Most of them couldn't even pass the first test of selection.

The art of body refining also requires condensing spiritual energy to shape the body. Broken spiritual roots cannot even condense the spiritual energy, so how can one practice the art of body refining.

The old man didn't ask too much, his job was mainly to receive these people, other matters had nothing to do with him.

After a while, the old man brought Lu Chen to God's Choice Residence, where Lu Chen and others who participated in the selection lived.

The area occupied by God's Chosen Residence is still very large, after all, each person has a room.

Most of the buildings here have three floors, and the top floor has a spire. The wood used in these buildings is all painted with black and red paint, and the overall look is very beautiful.

After coming to an empty room, the old man said to Lu Chen: "You lived here during the time you participated in the selection."

The old man raised his right hand, pointed to the distance and continued: "Turn right from here, then turn left, then turn right and walk thirty steps, there is a fork, you continue to turn left and walk about twenty steps, there There are three forked roads, you take the middle one, turn left when you get to the end, and you will see a temporary cafeteria, where you can eat."

……

Lu Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Okay, thank you, senior."

"There are a lot of bad tempered people participating in the selection. I think you are only one, so you should try not to conflict with those people. Be careful that they will trouble you during the selection."

"Every year, there are not fifty people who die accidentally, but there are also twenty."

The meaning of the old man is obvious. Those who died accidentally were actually mostly killed by others.

Although the Seven Stars Sect stipulates that disciples cannot kill people, there are still situations where people are killed through other methods, and people are killed by borrowing objects without anyone noticing, and no one can find out.

"Thank you senior for reminding me, I understand." Lu Chen thanked again.

"Okay, since there is no problem, I will go first, and I wish you success in the selection."

After the old man finished speaking, he turned and left. After watching him walk away, Lu Chen immediately went into the house, closed the door, and turned on the system.

He remembered that he had obtained thirty crystal coins for leveling up. This selection might be dangerous, so he hurriedly exchanged for some basic magic weapons. The iron sword has already suffered six damages, so it won't last long.

After Lu Chen turned on the system, he went directly to the system mall to pick things up. At this moment, Su Yaoyao's figure danced in his sight.

She changed her dress. This time she was wearing a dress. The hem was above the knees. It was made of pleated white lace and spread out to both sides. There were some ink-painted plum blossoms on the skirt, which gave a strong Chinese style. And her The waist is tied with a belt with a bow, which looks very cute.

While choosing the equipment, Lu Chen praised: "Yaoyao, this dress really suits you, you look cuter than before." Lu Chen's flattering skills have been practiced since childhood. With a high-end computer, he did not miss her flattery.

I have to say that this method works, and Su Yaoyao just likes it. Su Yaoyao said happily: "Even if you can talk, I think this dress suits me."

She tugged at the hem of her skirt, then turned around.

"And this dress is not expensive, only 30 crystal coins, it is really cheap."

Lu Chen didn't think much and continued to select his equipment. At this time, his eyes focused on an inner armor, so he clicked on it to check the function of this inner armor.

After all, it is basic equipment, not expensive, only 15 crystal coins, but the effect is still limited, this set of inner armor can only reduce 5.00% damage, and it is easy to be damaged, but for Lu Chen, this novice equipment It still has a certain temptation, so he clicked [Buy].

However, the purchase was unsuccessful, and a line of words popped up on the blue screen.

System prompt: Your balance is insufficient, and the current balance of crystal coins is 0
