From dual spiritual roots to a sword master with all attributes

Half a month later, the flying boat had arrived at a place surrounded by mountains and shrouded in clouds and mist.

The clouds gradually dissipated, and countless buildings came into view. Their styles were simple and elegant, and full of fairy charm, which was exactly what everyone imagined as a place for immortal sects to practice.

The flying boat dropped off many young men at a square and flew away. Fang Xiao observed that there were nearly a thousand disciples around. In the center of the venue, a middle-aged monk who looked like a Taoist priest was waiting for everyone.

"I heard that during the recruitment of disciples this time, a genius with natural spiritual roots appeared, and the sect made an exception and allowed him to enter the inner sect."

"That's right, in addition to the people with natural spiritual roots, there are also more than ten people with dual spiritual roots and special spiritual roots. If we can establish a relationship with them, it will definitely make our path smoother."

He just listened to these words, he had no intention of getting involved. He just didn't expect that in a small place like Jinyu City, two people with dual spiritual roots could emerge at the same time. Since they were fellow villagers, he could contact Xiao Yan more often.

"Silence, from today on, you are the outer disciples of our Tianlan Sect. Since you have the opportunity to join the sect, you must practice diligently and not slack off. You must abide by the sect's precepts. Anyone who violates the rules will be dealt with by the Law Enforcement Hall. Take them down and arrange accommodation for them." The middle-aged cultivator ordered.

Several disciples took orders and began to call out names.

Soon, Fang Xiao's team of more than ten people were taken away from the square and came to the courtyard.

"My last name is Zhao, and I am a disciple of the External Affairs Hall. This is your residence. This is your identity token. Choose your own courtyard and use the identity token to activate the formation. No one can break in unless the owner allows it."

"Yes, Brother Zhao."

The leading disciple began to arrange the courtyard and continued to lead everyone forward.

"There are sect rules and sect instructions on the table in your room. You can choose two disciples to do the daily chores."

"We're here. This is the External Affairs Hall, which is mainly used to assign tasks to disciples. You don't have to perform any tasks within a year after you join the sect. After that, there will be a mandatory task every month. Completing the sect's tasks can accumulate good merits, which can be used to exchange for some training supplies and martial arts manuals."

"Just exchange it at the Good Merit Hall across the street. When you have entered the first level of Qi training, you can come and get a low-grade magic weapon, a magic robe, ten spirit stones and a bottle of Qi-nourishing Pill. After that, you can get five spirit stones and a bottle of Qi-nourishing Pill every month."

"Brother Zhao, has it always been like this?" asked a young man.

Senior Brother Zhao was interrupted and felt a little unhappy.

"Hmph, when you reach the fourth level of Qi Refining, you will naturally be treated differently. Let's go."

"This is the Sutra Library and the Dharma Transmission Hall. The most important thing for you now is to choose a technique that suits you and quickly enter the first level of Qi training. With your identity token, you can receive one technique and three magic techniques. Do you have any other questions?"

When it came to choosing a technique, everyone suddenly became excited.

Fang Xiao thought for a moment, then stepped forward and asked.

"Brother Zhao, I don't know how to choose this technique, and who should I ask for help in solving my doubts during cultivation."

"The elders of the sect in the Sutra Library will guide you in choosing the appropriate method of practice. Questions about practice can be answered in the Dharma Hall. Occasionally, there are elders giving lectures here, and there are also on-duty brothers who can answer your questions. However, if you need guidance again after one year, you will need to pay good deeds." Senior Brother Zhao nodded.

Everyone had no more questions and rushed into the Sutra Library impatiently.

The Scripture Pavilion in the outer courtyard is filled with classics for the Qi Refining Stage and some Foundation Establishment Stage texts. Even so, looking at the vast sea of ​​books and jade slips in front of him, Fang Xiao was dumbfounded and didn't know where to start.

By the way, go ask that elder for some advice.

Looking at the unkempt, sleepy and yawning old man in front of me, is he the sect elder?

"senior?"

"Come to choose a technique? Come here and let this old man see your aptitude."

Seeing the shiny black claw that was picking his nose just now reaching out to him, he hesitated and did not move, allowing it to do what it wanted.

"Hey, your spiritual roots are so excellent, and you have a special physique. Let me think about it. It seems to be a physique suitable for swordsmanship. It's a perfect match. It would be unjust if you don't become a swordsman."

Fang Xiao's joy was beyond words. Which young man doesn't have a dream of becoming a swordsman, flying across the sky and opening the sky with a sword?

"Senior, there are countless martial arts here. I wonder if you can teach me one or two." Fang Xiao bowed and said.

The old man began to pick his nostrils again, as if there was some treasure.

"He is a man who knows etiquette. It is easy to choose a martial art. It is one of the thirteen martial arts of my Tianlan Sect, the Taibai Jingxiao Sword Classic. It can be cultivated to the highest level of the Spiritualization Stage. The sword light is as fast as lightning. In a fight, you can be the last one to strike and the first to arrive. The main feature is speed. Boy, do you want to be the fastest man in the world of immortal cultivation?"

"I want to, uh, senior, please stop teasing me. I wonder where this Taibai Jingxiao Sword Canon is?"

"Of course it is in the Sutra Library in my Tianlan Sect."

"..."

"Kid, I won't tease you anymore. If you want to practice Taibai Jingxiao Sword Canon, you must first become a true disciple. However, this Jingxiao Sword Art is a simplified method. It is enough for you to break through to the late stage of foundation building. Once you pass the true test, it won't be too late to switch to practicing Taibai Jingxiao Sword Canon. If it weren't for your superior aptitude, not everyone can practice it."

The old man took out a book of martial arts and shook it towards Fang Xiao.

Fang Xiao's eyes widened.

"But the old man has another suggestion. I wonder if you want to listen to it."

"The younger generation will naturally listen attentively to the advice of the seniors."

"If it were someone else, I would not have mentioned it. However, it would be a waste if you only practiced one technique given your physique. I suggest you practice a technique concurrently."

"Practice two techniques?" Fang Xiao asked puzzledly.

"That's right. The Taibai Sword Art, the founding technique of the ancient Taibai Sword Sect, was created by our Taibai Jingxiao Sword Canon in order to recreate the fame of the Taibai Sword Art, but we took a different path."

"The Taibai Jingxiao Sword Classic represents the ultimate speed, while the Taibai Sword Art is known for its unparalleled attack. There is a fragment of the Taibai Sword Art in the sect, and the condensation method and secret method are very complete, which will not affect your concurrent cultivation."

"Moreover, it should also help you when you are forming the elixir. At the very least, it can help you form a top-grade elixir. This way, you will have a good chance of forming your Nascent Soul and even a slight chance of becoming a God."

The old man took out another book of martial arts.

Fang Xiao was very excited. He stretched out his hands to take it and expressed his gratitude.

"Thank you for your guidance, Senior. I don't know what to call you, but if you need anything in the future, I will be happy to help you."

"Well, I'm Fan Tingshu. You'd better practice hard. You owe me a favor. We can talk about it when your cultivation level surpasses mine." Old man Fan nodded with satisfaction.

Afterwards, Fang Xiao chose three more techniques: the Sky Eye Technique, the Breath Containment Technique, and the Object Control Technique.

There are also corresponding techniques in the two sword manuals of Jingxiao and Taibai. Among the common techniques, these are the only ones that are relatively practical. They are from the mainland anyway, so you can make up for what you lack in the future.

After leaving the Sutra Repository, Senior Brother Zhao had already left. Fang Xiao did not rush back to his residence, but instead walked towards the Dharma Hall opposite.

It turned out that he did not quite understand the descriptions of the meridians and acupoints in the exercises, but compared to other disciples, many of them were illiterate.

After entering the hall, Fang Xiao walked directly to the disciple on duty, handed over the identity token and bowed.

"Greetings, Senior Brother. My name is Fang Xiao. I am a new disciple. I have some questions about cultivation that I would like to ask you."

"So it's Junior Brother Fang. It seems that Junior Brother has already chosen a technique. I wonder which technique you chose."

"It's the Shocking Sky Sword Technique, but I don't know much about the meridians and acupoints in the human body. I hope my senior brother can give me some advice."

It was just a matter of solving the problem of Qi circulation in the meridians and acupoints, so Fang Xiao did not mention that he wanted to practice Taibai Sword Technique as well.

"Junior Brother Fang actually has the talent to practice swordsmanship. The Shocking Sky Sword Art is not something that ordinary people can practice. You should practice this human meridian acupoint map first. When you enter the first level of Qi training and generate spiritual consciousness and can see inside, you can make some minor adjustments."

It turns out that everyone's meridians and acupoints are slightly different. Remember the approximate locations, practice Qi into the body, guide it to the approximate locations, circulate Qi through a cycle and return it to Dantian, and when you reach the first level of Qi training, you will develop spiritual consciousness.

By using the spiritual consciousness to observe and guide the operation of the exercises and the condition of the physical body, the practice will be on the right track.

"Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother. I am eager to practice, so I will take my leave now."

"Well, cultivation requires perseverance, and you must not rush for quick results. If something goes wrong, at the very least, it will hurt your body and affect your cultivation progress, or at worst, it will ruin your entire path. Go ahead."

Fang Xiao said yes, left the Dharma Hall and walked towards his residence.

Some disciples were already on their way back, while others were overwhelmed by the choices in the Sutra Library and were hesitant and unable to make a decision.

None of this has anything to do with Fang Xiao.

When he returned to his residence, he didn't find anyone familiar in the surrounding houses, so he directly activated the formation and entered the house.

However, he did not start practicing immediately. Instead, he carefully read through the sect's rules and regulations on the table, so as not to violate the sect's rules without knowing it.

Only after his excitement had calmed down did he sit cross-legged on the cushion and begin to comprehend the exercises, first studying how to feel the spiritual energy.
