In the astonished gaze of Xia Ming, they held hands and rearranged themselves.

Seeing the words appearing in the book, Xia Ming's whole body trembled.

Damn it!

It's incredible!

...

[Spiritual Awareness = Electromagnetic Ind

Suppressing the turmoil in his heart.

Xia Ming earnestly studies the knowledge in the books.

A series of electromagnetic induction principles are forcibly stuffed into his mind again.

Back in the day, he used to nap during physics classes.

While the teacher lectured, he dreamed below.

Back then... even if the teacher tapped his head, he wouldn't want to learn.

Now... Xia Ming wishes he could devour the books.

"The human body is also a magnetic field. Close your eyes and feel as if your right hand is holding a wire..."

"Using the right-hand rule, construct your own perception of the magnetic field..."

Xia Ming is getting more and more scared as he reads.

Is this reliable?

Why does it feel a bit off?

...

After a moment, Xia Ming slowly closes his eyes, then extends his right hand.

Miraculously, something happens!

While his vision disappears, a clear black-and-white magnetic field distribution diagram appears in Xia Ming's mind.

The black lines represent magnetic field lines, while the white fills the space between them.

The magnetic field coverage is not large, just about a square meter.

Slowly opening his slightly reddened eyes, Xia Ming's face is filled with astonishment.

Something seems off?

Am I cultivating?

Did you know this story is from Royal Road? Read the official version for free and support the author.

Is this spiritual perception?

...

A few days later, Xia Ming successfully passed the sensing assessment of the Great River Sect.

The assessment involves picking a stone containing spiritual energy from a mountain of stones.

Closing his eyes, Xia Ming easily picks out a stone containing spiritual energy.

In his sensing field, stones containing spiritual energy repel the surrounding magnetic field lines, forming isolated islands in the water.

At a glance, those abrupt islands are simply too conspicuous.

After the trial, Xia Ming proudly becomes a miscellaneous disciple of the Great River Sect.

The next day, the Great River Sect issued a second textbook to Xia Ming and the other miscellaneous disciples.

[From Sensing to Spiritual Roots: How I Did It - by Spiritual Sense Ancestor.]

...

Xia Ming heard from other laboring disciples that this book is nonsense.

The Spiritual Sense Ancestor was originally a hidden spiritual root, and by coincidence, became manifest.

The sect issues this book every year to deceive the laboring disciples into working hard, hoping to stand out one day.

In fact, it's a lie!

Deceiving fools!

With a nervous heart, Xia Ming opens the book by the Spiritual Sense Ancestor.

Oh heavens... love me again.

Xia Ming bows deeply.

...

After a while, Xia Ming gives himself a slap.

Now he's sure.

He's really abnormal!

On the pages of the book, he sees those wandering words again.

Hand in hand, walking together, good friends for life.

The words rearrange themselves, and Xia Ming sees an exaggerated equation in front of him.

[Spiritual Roots = Illuminated Diodes.]

Collect appropriate conductive materials, use the body's bioelectricity, light up the diode to obtain spiritual roots.

Red: Fire Spiritual Root.

Blue: Water Spiritual Root.

Yellow: Earth Spiritual Root.

White: Metal Spiritual Root.

Green: Wood Spiritual Root.

...

Closing his eyes, reciting spiritual roots, he can check the progress.

Then Xia Ming follows suit.

Next, he sees the remarkably conspicuous diode in the black-and-white world again.

The bulb is dim, and the two pins are faintly visible.

Looking back at the book, Xia Ming indeed finds a solution:

You can refine the diode by absorbing attribute spirit stones or absorbing the spiritual roots of cultivators to continuously improve the diode.

The specific absorption methods are as follows:

According to the principle of electromagnetic induction, place special spiritual energy within your magnetic field sensing range.

Use your own magnetic field to electrolyze tangible spiritual energy, convert special spiritual energy into attribute currents, and inhale them into your own biological field.

In this way, the purpose of perfecting the diode can be achieved, eventually lighting it up and obtaining attribute spiritual roots.

Biological field energy supply can keep the diode illuminated continuously.

Once lit, it's applicable for life.

...

Closing the Spiritual Sense Ancestor's "masterpiece," Xia Ming's face reveals a strange expression.

Playing electromagnetic induction in the cultivation world?

Electrolyzing spiritual roots?

Science!

This is too scientific!

I bow to you, Faraday Ancestor!

Damn it, Spiritual Sense Ancestor!

Science!

Believe in science!

...

After two days of being a laboring disciple, Xia Ming becomes more determined to cultivate his spiritual roots.

Being a laboring disciple is simply unbearable.

Laboring disciples focus on labor, with discipleship as a side note.

They don't need to cultivate, they can't cultivate, they can only work.

After entering the sect, these laboring disciples with spiritual senses are no different from cattle and horses.

Either they go to the mine every day to select stones containing spiritual energy from the mined ores.

Or they go to cultivate the land, planting seeds with abundant spiritual energy and then weeding out stubborn weeds.

In just a few days, several laboring disciples were exhausted to death.

To activate spiritual senses, sense spiritual energy, one must concentrate their attention and hold their mind steady.

How many ordinary people can endure such mental exertion?

What's more, the patrol enforcers don't treat them as human beings at all.

One person is made to do the work of three!

Even a beast of burden in the production team wouldn't be used like that.

Unlike those laboring disciples who suffer in silence, Xia Ming is relatively okay.

After all, he can open his black-and-white sensing magnetic field by closing his eyes, which makes his work efficient and less mentally taxing.

In just two days, Xia Ming realized the terrifying nature of this world.

Xia Ming deeply knows, being a laboring disciple is a dead end.

Raising his head and straightening his spine, Xia Ming awakens!

Awaiting death!

Is there a way out?

Xia Ming decides to light up his illuminated diode!

He wants to embark on his path of cultivation!

But here comes the problem, how to light up the spiritual root diode?

Absorb attribute spirit stones?

Xia Ming has never seen such a thing!

Absorb cultivator's spiritual roots?

Can he even defeat anyone?

Which cultivator would be foolish enough to let him absorb their spiritual roots?

The road ahead seems impassable...

However, opportunities always favor the prepared.

After a few more days as a laboring disciple, Xia Ming encounters his turning point.

Hearing that the situation downhill is becoming more severe, with more disciples of the Great River Sect perishing every day.

The department in charge of collecting disciple corpses at the Clutching Soul Cliff is short-handed.
