NOVEL WEB Chapter 327: Testing Everyone
Chu Miao wasn't a wishy-washy person so she went straight to the point after making sure that everyone was there.
"The reason we have invited everyone here is because we have some news to share. You must all be aware that we are going to start our own safe base once the flood water is gone.
The safe base we want to build won't be the same as those other people and even the government is building.
We are going to adopt the ancient structure of communities and build a sect.
Even if you are not an avid reader, you must have studied some history and know a thing or two about cultivation.
What our sect is going to be focused on is cultivation to make the remaining survivors who become members of our base stronger than others and zombies alike.
Moreover, as cultivators, we will have more advantages when it comes to life spans.
So, the purpose of our meeting today is to talk about cultivation. But before we proceed, we have to take precautions against any unforeseen circumstances.
If you are interested in knowing the direction in which our sect will take once established and want to be a part in it, then you have to take an oath that you will never betray the sect and be loyal forever.
If you don't want to be part of what we are going to be building, then you can leave now and you will not be getting any supplies or participating in our team activities.
Make your decision." Chu Miao didn't beat around the bush. She told them everything in black and white so that there won't be any misunderstandings in the future.
She looked around the room and no one got up to leave.
"It looks like everyone here has the determination to walk to the end with us. That's good then. I need all of you to repeat after me.
I, (insert your own name), swear to abide by the sect's rules and keep all the secrets to myself and not let outsiders know. If I violate this oath, may my soul be vanquished." Chu Miao recited a simple oath and everyone there, even the children took it.
She had been using her spiritual power to monitor them so she knew that no one had tried to be clever. They had all honesty taken the oath.
It was after Sha had made sure that no unnecessary information would be shared that she finally started to get to the point directly.
"Okay, we have a cultivation legacy that we are going to share with everyone who has a spirit root and cultivate.
I am not going to start a lesson on what spirit roots are or anything else related to cultivation. If you want to know, you can learn from your comrades who already know later.
Later when the sect has been set up, there will be some classes to teach different things about cultivation and other unique skills.
The reason you are here tonight is because we want to test if you have a spirit root and can cultivate. If you are unable to cultivate, there is no need to be alarmed, we have other ways to help you get stronger and increase your lifespan.
We will just need time to implement most of our visions for a better chance at the survival of humanity.
There is something called a testing crystal ball which is what we will use to test if you have a spirit root and can cultivate.
Please stand in a single line as we only have one testing crystal ball.
Someone will register your information as if you have a spirit root, you will remain behind. If you do not have a spirit root, do not worry. There are other things to do. You can go home in peace and wait for us to start the sect officially." As Chu Miao finished her speech, her brother, Chu Hao sat down at one of the tables with a book and a pen to register everyone's information.
Lei Ying sat next to him with the crystal ball in front of him waiting for those registered to begin testing.
The process wasn't long as they had already witnessed in their house. It went on smoothly.
Out of more than a hundred people, more than half of them turned out to have spirit roots. Even though some of the spirit roots were so poor quality that it was unmentionable, they could still cultivate, albeit the fact that they won't go far.
The highest level of cultivation they would ever attain would still be in the Qi refinement stage.
But even that was enough to save one's life if they were in danger.
That was why Chu Miao said nothing.
What surprised her was Zhao Ji, Lin Wan and Zhao Lu's five-year-old son and Fang Yao.
The two boys really had talent in cultivation. Zhao Ji had a level eight talent like Chu Hao while Fang Yao had a level seven talent which could also be considered rare.
This was not something she had expected in this era where they were born in a world completely devoid of spiritual energy and only recently did it gain spiritual energy.
However, this was good because it gave the sect some geniuses to nature as its future pillars.
"Alright, now that only those who can cultivate are left, I will tell you what to do. Cultivation is different for everyone and as you witnessed, there are different elements and one must cultivate according to their elements.
I will give you a mental chant that you can use to begin your cultivation journey.
You should chant it in the position of…." Chu Miao went on to explain what to do when meditating and how to sense and draw spiritual energy into the body.
"Some people can sense spiritual energy faster than others. If you don't see it for a few days, that's normal.
Others can even take a month or two to sense spiritual energy and even longer to draw it into the body. Just don't lose hope.
