Hearing this, Chu Qing couldn't help but have an idea. Although the spiritual roots of these three people were extremely mixed, they still had spiritual roots after all. If they could enter the sect, he would have made a contribution to the sect. Perhaps he could also receive some rewards according to the standards for Five Spiritual Roots.

Thinking of this, he quickly bowed and said, "Second Elder, spiritual roots are hard to find. Our Qingyang Sect is already short of talented disciples, and the Servant Hall is in desperate need of people. How about..."

Yu Tong stared at Lu Li and the other two, thought for a moment, and then said, "The rule of the Qingyang Sect is that as long as one has awakened spiritual roots, they can enter the sect. But in the past, we never thought that such mixed spiritual roots as yours could be awakened, so there's no rule saying that Mixed Spiritual Roots can't be accepted. Well, then, in accordance with the entry standards, you will start as servant disciples just like those with Five Spiritual Roots..."

Lu Li and the other two were overjoyed when they heard this. They exchanged glances and respectfully expressed their gratitude.

Yu Tong nodded. "However, I need to tell you that I've never seen such mixed spiritual roots before. Although the spiritual energy in our Qingyang Sect is much denser than that in the outside world, I think it's impossible for you to reach the second level of Qi Refining in your lifetime. And the rule of our Qingyang Sect is that only when you reach the third level of Qi Refining can you become a formal disciple. You... should be mentally prepared."

Qin Shouren and Chen Zhong's faces immediately fell when they heard this.

However, Lu Li quickly said that it didn't matter. As long as the Qingyang Sect was willing to take them in, it was already an enormous favor for them.

Seeing that Lu Li was so sensible, Yu Tong nodded approvingly. After stroking his beard and smiling, he summoned a disciple.

That disciple first took Lu Li and the other two downstairs to register. Then he gave each of them a small cloth bag. After explaining some sect matters, the group walked along the path on the west side of the square.

During the walk, Lu Li couldn't help but ask, "Senior brother, where are we going?"

The senior brother looked back at Lu Li and said as he walked, "You are all servant disciples and need to report to the Servant Hall. I forgot to tell you just now that servant disciples won't be allocated any cultivation resources."

"If you want cultivation resources, you have to work. Different tasks will earn you different contributions. Contributions can be exchanged for cultivation resources in the Contribution Hall, and you can also use them to exchange for cultivation techniques and martial skills in the Technique Building."

"Oh." Lu Li stopped talking after hearing this.

After walking for a long time, in front of them suddenly appeared a row of small houses and a small square. There were few people walking on the square.

In the due north of the square, there was an obviously rather luxurious house. The senior brother led the three of them across the square and walked in.

In the main hall, a middle-aged man with a rough appearance was lying on an old-fashioned armchair, sound asleep. The senior brother walked up to him and coughed softly. The rough-looking man woke up with a start and sat up quickly.

When he saw the senior brother, his face changed. He hurriedly got up and saluted, saying with an awkward smile, "Senior Brother Liu, what wind has blown you here?"

Senior Brother Liu glanced at him indifferently and pointed at Lu Li and the other two, saying, "These three are newly recruited disciples. Arrange for them. They will be part of your Servant Hall from now on."

"Yes, yes." The rough-looking man hurriedly nodded.

Seeing this, Senior Brother Liu gave a few more instructions to Lu Li and the other two and then left.

The rough-looking man stared at Lu Li and the other two, looked them up and down, and then said coldly, "Introduce yourselves. I'm Wen Hong, the only steward of the Servant Hall. You can call me Steward Wen. Once you're here, you must follow all my orders. If anyone dares to disobey, heh heh, I'll make his life a living hell. Do you understand?"

This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

Although Lu Li and the other two didn't like Wen Hong's tone, they still said that they understood.

Then Wen Hong summoned a servant boy, gave him some instructions, and asked the servant boy to take Lu Li and the other two to find their own residences.

The residences in the Servant Hall were all courtyards. Under normal circumstances, six people would live in one courtyard. However, there weren't many servant disciples at present, so many courtyards were vacant. Lu Li and the other two chose an unoccupied small courtyard and moved in.

After a chaotic and busy period, the three of them finally had some peace and quiet. After gathering together and sighing for a while, they each went back to their rooms.

Lu Li couldn't wait to open the small bag he had received at the Foreign Affairs Hall.

He didn't care about anything else. As long as there was a cultivation technique that he could practice, it would be okay. According to what Senior Brother Liu, who had brought them here, said, there was a basic cultivation technique of the Qingyang Sect inside.

He opened it and saw that there was indeed a cultivation technique named "Qingyang Technique".

Immediately, his breathing became a bit rapid.

He didn't even check if there were other things in the small bag. He directly put the "Qingyang Technique" into the Space Hall. Then he sat cross-legged on the bed, and with a thought, he transformed into his original form and entered the Time Hall.

In the Time Hall, Lu Li stretched out his hand, and the "Qingyang Technique" appeared in his hand again. The wonderful thing about this pagoda was that no matter what he did inside, from the outside, it would only look like he was meditating.

According to Lu Li's understanding, the Time Hall was more like an illusory space. He could imagine himself doing something inside, but the cultivation gains would be completely transferred back to his real body without any loss.

Moreover, in the Time Hall, he could retrieve items from the second floor of the Space Hall, but he couldn't retrieve things from his real body outside. That's why Lu Li had put the "Qingyang Technique" into the Space Hall first.

In the Time Hall, Lu Li sat cross-legged and began to read the "Qingyang Technique".

After about an hour or so, Lu Li roughly read the "Qingyang Technique" from beginning to end and got a general understanding of cultivation. When he flipped to the end, he realized that this "Qingyang Technique" only had the cultivation methods for the Qi Refining stage, and there was nothing above the Qi Refining stage.

Although it was a bit of a pity, he thought that having it was better than having nothing at all.

After another hour, Lu Li read it carefully again and finally memorized the "Qingyang Technique" completely in his mind.

Then he began to cultivate. As he released his spiritual consciousness, he immediately sensed that there was a lot of violent spiritual energy swirling around him. Compared with the spiritual energy in the Qingliang Temple before, it was more than ten times denser. He became more hopeful about cultivation in his heart.

Although his spiritual roots were mixed, with the tenfold time flow rate bonus, the speed of refining wouldn't be too slow.

As he circulated the technique, the spiritual energy around him immediately rushed towards his body and followed his guidance into his dantian.

It's worth mentioning that the number of a cultivator's spiritual roots only affects the speed of refining spiritual energy, not the speed of absorbing it.

The speed of absorbing spiritual energy completely depends on the grade of the cultivation technique. The higher the grade of the technique, the faster the speed of absorbing spiritual energy.

In just a dozen or so breaths, the spiritual energy within three feet around him was completely absorbed by him. While waiting for the spiritual energy around him to recover, Lu Li began to circulate the technique to refine these violent spiritual energy and turn it into true energy.

According to the "Qingyang Technique", the number of barrier layers in the acupoints of different spiritual roots is also different. The acupoints of Heavenly Spiritual Roots only have one barrier layer, those of Dual Spiritual Roots have two layers... and so on. Lu Li's acupoint barriers had as many as nine layers.

Each layer corresponded to different attributes and required true energy of different attributes to break through.

In other words, if Lu Li wanted to break through the acupoints with true energy, he needed to condense nine kinds of true energy with different attributes and break through them one by one.

When a qi meridian was completely opened, that is, when the first level of Qi Refining was completed, one could use the qi meridian to cast spells.

At this time, having multiple spiritual roots had more options.

No matter what attributes the true energy in your dantian was, as long as the true energy passed through the qi meridian, it could be automatically transformed into the true energy of the attribute you wanted and released.

If it was a single spiritual root, one could only release the single-attribute true energy corresponding to their own spiritual root.

This could be regarded as compensation for the hard work of cultivators with multiple spiritual roots in breaking through the acupoints.

Unconsciously, thirty hours had passed in the Time Hall.

However, Lu Li didn't show any intention of stopping. He really enjoyed the sense of expectation brought by cultivation and always wanted to quickly break through the second acupoint.

Dong Dong Dong...

Just then, a loud knock on the door suddenly came from outside.
