Chapter 5 Elementary Insight
Li Ru began to teach Zhou Ling to identify the basic rune identification books for Lingxia Taoist Academy.
This is not a cultivation method, just some basic cultivation runes and conceptual analysis.
Sometimes, Li Ru also introduced him to some situations of Lingxia Taoist Temple.
From time to time, he would smile and say, "Son! As long as you can become an inner disciple of Lingxia Taoist Academy, your parents will be relieved!"
The reason why Li Ruhui said this is mainly because Lingxia Taoist Academy divides its disciples into three categories: direct descendants, inner sects and outer sects.
Only by becoming an inner disciple can one be an official disciple of Lingxia Taoist Academy.
As for the outer disciples, they are just Lingxia Taoist Academy’s mission to complete the training plan of the Taoist Alliance.
However, some fees from disciples will also be charged.
After graduation, if these outer disciples cannot become inner disciples, they will actually have nothing to do with Lingxia Sect in the future.
The inner disciples are the real main body of Lingxia Sect.
In Lingxia Fairy City, all walks of life are basically monopolized by the Lingxia Sect, and this ratio reaches 70%.
For example, Lingkuang, Lingdi, Dongfu, Fangshi, etc.
Just like the small courtyard where Zhou Ling lives now, it is also the property of Lingxia Sect.
Once you become an inner disciple, you will not only be able to learn the Lingxia Sect’s exercises and techniques, but you will also have sufficient training resources.
And a decent identity.
If you can become a direct disciple, you will not only be the true core of Lingxia Sect, but also very likely to become the top management of Lingxia Immortal City.
If you want to go even further, you can go to the Dao League to develop.
However, Li Ru's requirements are not high. As long as her son can become an inner disciple of Lingxia Fairy City, she will be satisfied.
Don’t be like her and Zhou Shan, who venture into the mountains every day and live a hard life.
In just a few days, Zhou Ling finished reading this book of basic cultivation runes.
[Reading the basic runes of cultivation, Immortal Wisdom Root +1, Comprehension +1]
Finally improving his comprehension, Zhou Ling suddenly became strongly motivated to learn.
Now, Zhou Ling knows something about the cultivation in this realm.
In terms of cultivation.
First of all, the most important thing is the spiritual root qualification.
Only monks with spiritual root qualifications can absorb and refine the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, turn it into their own magic power, and use it for themselves.
Zhou Ling now has a low-grade spiritual root, which is considered good among casual cultivators.
After all, most casual cultivators have miscellaneous spiritual roots, and middle-grade spiritual roots will basically be collected by Taoist academies and sects and become key training targets.
In addition to spiritual root qualifications, understanding is also the key.
Without understanding the techniques, no matter how talented you are, your progress in practice will be slow.
So both are indispensable.
And Zhou Ling's current understanding is mediocre, to put it simply, it is at the level of ordinary people.
So, this [Immortal Wisdom Root] talent is extremely important to him.
However, there are no other books at home.
Fortunately, the attentive and gentle Li Ru also found that his son had a strong learning ability.
While Zhou Shan was going to Fangshi to sell elixirs, he took Zhou Ling to Fangshi with the intention of buying some other books for him.
After breakfast, Zhou Ling followed his parents to Lingyunfang City in Xicheng.
Located on the busiest West Street in Xicheng.
There are many shops and markets here, with hawkers and stalls as the main ones on the periphery. After entering the main street, there are commercial shops.
Zhou Ling walked beside Li Ru. Although he was only one and a half years old now, he walked steadily, but his steps were too small and sometimes he could not keep up with his parents' speed.
As soon as he couldn't keep up, Zhou Ling trotted to catch up.
[You are running, constitution +1, running speed +1, running skill +1]
[Cumulative number of exercises: 9088/10,000]
[Tip: After the number of exercises reaches 10,000, more intense exercise is required to continue to improve your physical fitness. 】
Suddenly, Zhou Ling slowed down, then squatted down and picked up a shiny crystal stone with his little hands.
“Low-grade spiritual stone!”
Zhou Ling was delighted. A low-grade spiritual stone would take two or three days of hard work from his parents to earn. [Pick up a low-grade spiritual stone, search the mountains for treasure +1]
"Ling'er, come here quickly!"
Seeing that his son did not follow, Li Ru hurriedly waved.
Although there were a lot of people in Fangshi this time, it was because I took Zhou Ling into the mountains twice.
Li Ru and his wife dared to let Zhou Ling walk independently.
"Mom, look what this is"
Zhou Ling walked to Li Ru, stretched out her little hand, handed the spirit stone to Li Ru, and said in a childish voice.
"Son, where did this come from?" Li Ru couldn't help but ask.
“Picked it up!”
Li Ru looked around hurriedly. People were coming and going, but no one paid attention to the three of them.
"My son is so lucky!" Zhou Shan praised with joy.
Li Ru smiled and put away the spirit stone, "Mom will give you extra food tonight!"
"Ru'er, you go buy books first. I'll go to Baicaotang and sell the elixir."
When they arrived at a crossroads ahead, Zhou Shan said.
Li Ru nodded, then took Zhou Ling and walked to the street on the right.
After a while, they came to a slightly deserted shop at the end of the street.
The store facade is simple, with no decoration, just an old flag hanging.
Embroidered on it are the words "There is a study".
The interior is small and a bit shabby, with rows of bookshelves lined up horizontally with different books on them.
Some books seem to have been there for a long time, and the pages look a little faded.
Sitting at the low counter was a middle-aged monk who looked a little stout and had a mustache. He was flipping through books in his hand. When he saw someone coming in, he hurriedly put them away.
Because Zhou Ling was walking in front and was relatively short, he could vaguely see the words Jiu, Wei and Turtle on the cover of the book.
[Growth Talent, Elementary Insight: Observation is meticulous, detail ability is greatly improved. Meet the requirements: Observe and capture thirty expression changes in total. 】
“Does this fellow Taoist want to buy books?”
The middle-aged shopkeeper said with a smile.
[Catch a professional fake smile, primary insight +1]
“Shopkeeper, I want to buy some study books for my children before entering the Taoist temple. Which ones are suitable? ”
Li Ru asked.
“Yes, yes, there are books in the third row of bookshelves, and those placed on them are the necessary books for children to enter school!”
Hearing this, the middle-aged shopkeeper’s eyes lit up and he pointed to the right The bookshelf leaning against the wall smiled.
[Capture the joy that comes from the heart, primary insight +1]
Li Ru immediately walked towards the bookshelf.
After a while, Li Ru left the store with more than a dozen books.
Among them are "A Brief History of Daomeng", "Introduction to Qi Training", "Analysis of Qualifications", etc.
"How many spirit stones were sold this time?"
After walking for a while, they met Zhou Shan outside Baicao Hall, Li Ru asked.
“Eleven spiritual stones, thirty-six broken spirits.”
Zhou Shan smiled.
[Capture the joy that comes from the heart, primary insight +1]
“This month is not bad, let’s go, buy Ling’er a fire pattern chicken for extra dinner!”
Li Ru looked happy.
Then he took Zhou Ling to the area where spiritual food was sold in Fangshi.
On the way, Zhou Shan bought some glutinous rice cakes for Zhou Ling as a snack.
