My name is Chen Jin, Chen from the Chen family, and Jin means cautious.

The bamboo path welcomes the breeze, and the courtyard environment is beautiful. In a quiet and quiet courtyard, there stands a young man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes and an upright posture.

He is a little thin, but he exudes a spirit of agility and perseverance. He frowned and stared at the mysterious book on the ground that came from nowhere.

Chen Jin, seventeen years old, was born in the side branch of the Chen family in Chaoyang City. He has four spiritual roots of gold, wood, water, and fire, and is conscientiously serving as the spiritual farmer.

The status of the Chen family in Chaoyang City is indeed a bit subtle and embarrassing. Compared with the giant Chuan family in the city, the Chen family is dwarfed by the difference in strength. However, compared with those isolated and helpless casual cultivators, the situation of the Chen family is slightly better. At least there is a family to rely on and back up, and the clan members also have a blessing.

 It is not uncommon for members of the Chen family like Chen Jin to have four spiritual roots. Most of the offspring born to cultivators will have spiritual roots.

However, for those Chen family members with five spiritual roots or no spiritual roots, their path is much narrower. Most of them will choose to become spiritual farmers, relying on the spiritual grains harvested every year to exchange spiritual stones with the family; of course, there are also a few people who give up the path of cultivating immortals and turn to the secular world to run various industries under the name of the Chen family.

Because Chen Jin himself is a cultivator with four spiritual roots, he has a wider space and more choices than other members of the family. But he still chose to stay in the family and become the spiritual farmer manager.

There is no other reason. The family at least has the protection of the clan leader and elders. Killing monsters outside is indeed profitable, but before the cultivation level is improved, Chen Jin does not want to take this risk.

Today seems to be just an ordinary day, but the mysterious book that suddenly appeared disturbed Chen Jin's thoughts. Chen Jin knew that his younger sister Chen Qianhua, who lived with him, loved poetry and books, but would not throw books in the yard casually like this.

What's more, there is no word on the cover of this book, but it exudes a mysterious atmosphere, as if attracting Chen Jin to open it.

 Chen Jin calmed himself down, performed a gold-based defense technique, and at the same time, gathered strength with his feet, ready to escape at any time, and slowly approached the book.

Slowly turning the yellowed pages, an old smell came to my face. I saw that the inside was densely covered with wild and unrestrained cursive handwriting, as if these words had their own unique life and soul. This is the mysterious technique.

Chen Jin held his breath and carefully and attentively browsed these obscure words line by line. As time went by, his understanding of this technique gradually became clearer, and he had a rough outline in his mind. However, when he explored its practice method in depth, he couldn't help but be secretly shocked.

Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

It turned out that to practice this technique, you only need to silently recite the word "blood sacrifice" in your heart, and then hold your breath for a full ten quarters of an hour! Such a simple and crude method made Chen Jin feel a little incredible.

But the more surprising thing is still to come. According to this method, once it is performed, you can identify the comprehensive qualifications of others, and your vision will return to normal after a stick of incense. Moreover, the qualifications and cultivation of the identified person will be presented in a unique way to the eyes of the caster - showing different colors to indicate the difference in level.

Among them, the lowest qualifications and cultivation are displayed as pure white, and the slightly higher ones are full of vitality green, and then the deep blue like the sea, the noble and elegant purple, and the top gold.

As long as you use a knife to take blood from the corpse and write the words "blood sacrifice", you can sacrifice the other party and get the opportunity to improve your cultivation or any qualifications. The better the qualifications and the higher the cultivation, the more improvement you will get. But it is only effective if you kill it yourself.

Chen Jin's cultivation is the middle stage of Qi training, which is considered to be acceptable among the 4 spiritual roots cultivators of his age. Chen Jin is eager to become stronger, so he works hard to practice day after day, but Chen Jin still remains skeptical about this unknown technique.

After quickly memorizing the content of the technique, he used the small fireball technique to burn the book, but the book was unharmed. Chen Jin chuckled. Well, if this technique is real, how could such a powerful technique be damaged by a mere Qi training cultivator like me?

The immortal touched my head, tied my hair and gave me immortality. There are also realms for cultivating immortals. The lower three realms: body training - Qi training - foundation building, the middle three realms: golden elixir - Nascent Soul - spirit division, the upper three realms: fusion - refining emptiness - Mahayana, after Mahayana is the immortal that countless people dream of. Each major realm is divided into 4 small realms: initial stage, middle stage, late stage, peak stage.

Chen Jin pretended nothing happened, and supervised the Chen family's spiritual farmers as usual. He silently chanted the blood sacrifice and held his breath for ten minutes. The world in front of him changed immediately. The spiritual farmers were indeed emitting white light.

Chen Jin keenly discovered that the spiritual farmers with five spiritual roots were ordinary off-white, while the spiritual farmers without spiritual roots were dull grayish white. The degree of whiteness of each spiritual farmer also varied according to the difference in cultivation. He was pure bright white.

Chen Jin shook his head. With his four spiritual roots and Qi training cultivation, he couldn't even get green?

At night, Chen Jin put on his nightgown, covered his handsome face, and quietly slipped into the slums of Chaoyang City. As expected, he saw a pale white that was almost colorless, even worse than the spiritual farmers without spiritual roots.

 Chen Jin chose a lone homeless man and killed him with a knife. The blood flowed along the blade to the ground. Chen Jin neatly carved "blood sacrifice" on the ground. The corpse in front of him did not change at all, but Chen Jin could feel a voice in his mind asking him whether he wanted to improve his cultivation or his qualifications.

After a moment of silence, Chen Jin answered in his heart about cultivation, and a warm current immediately flowed into his meridians. Chen Jin looked inward at his spiritual platform. His cultivation was still in the middle stage of Qi training. Chen Jin originally estimated that it would take him 3 months to break through to the late stage, but now it seems that it only takes 2 months.

Chen Jin raised his eyebrows slightly and carved "blood sacrifice" with a knife again, but nothing happened at this time.

He understood that a corpse can only be sacrificed once. After releasing a small fireball to destroy the corpse, he slipped back to Chen's house with the wind under his feet.
