My blind date failed, so I had to ascend the throne and become emperor.

Chapter 12 Theory of Innateness

"The spiritual root resides in the human spine. It may seem illusory, but after a century of research by experts and professors, it has long been confirmed. As for the pineal gland, it is related to the spirit. It is said that those who are born with a strong pineal gland, after becoming a cultivator, can use their spirit to interfere with reality..."

"Although spiritual roots are not as good as those with pineal glands, if one has excellent talent, they are no less capable than those with prominent pineal glands. Currently, there is no accurate distinction between spiritual roots and talent in China and abroad. However, as far as I know, there are specialized organizations that roughly divide talent into five levels based on the growth rate of the spiritual energy of prospective practitioners."

"At the normal level, the psychic energy growth range is between 0.01-0.03."

"At the excellent level, the spiritual energy growth is between 0.03-0.1."

"Excellent level, spiritual energy growth is between 0.1-0.5."

"At the top level, psychic energy increases between 0.5 and 1."

"At the God level, spiritual energy growth is above 1."

See here.

Zhou Ping showed a look of doubt. His spiritual energy value increased by about 0.5 today. According to the classification, he had excellent talent, but he knew that this was obviously impossible because his spiritual roots had only been improved twice. However, if there was no bonus from the body-building method and breathing method, the spiritual energy growth rate would not be so high.

But no matter how you calculate it.

The organizational divisions in the post content should only be used for reference.

He continued to look down.

Sure enough, many of the people who replied raised questions.

Some say that spiritual nutrient solution, high-energy nutrient pills and other cultivation resources can increase spiritual energy values, and there are also breathing methods, body-building methods and other factors, so simply using spiritual energy values ​​to distinguish is inaccurate.

In this regard.

The poster explained.

It is more authoritative to say that this distinction was achieved by the organization specially selecting a large number of prospective practitioners and uniformly practicing the twelve basic breathing methods.

However, some people still refuted, "The distinction between ordinary, outstanding, and excellent prospective cultivators can be barely trusted, but the distinction between top-level and god-level spiritual root talents is a bit far-fetched. Globally, those who can reach this level of cultivation speed are basically in top-level groups and Taoist academies established by various countries. All their data is top secret. Not to mention ordinary institutions, even those top-level groups cannot conduct such tests without special authorization."

There are many people who agree with this person.

Zhou Ping also felt that there was some truth to it. The spiritual energy of the top spiritual root talents grew very fast. If it was combined with cultivation methods and breathing techniques, it would definitely be even more terrifying. And once a god-level talent stronger than the top talent appeared, it would definitely alarm the country.

It is unrealistic for institutions to detect such would-be practitioners.

He browsed for a while.

Then I went to look at other discussion posts, and most of them were more accepting of the ordinary, outstanding, and excellent psychic power ranges, because there are indeed such prospective practitioners in the hundreds of resource cultivation companies in the country.

"I don't know exactly what level my spiritual talent is at... I'll try the 'Twelve Basic Breathing Techniques' tomorrow."

Exit the cultivator’s home.

Zhou Ping pondered, if according to the classification of the forum organization, Zhu Yuyang should belong to the excellent range of spiritual root talent, while he himself is probably at the good level.

pity.

Most discussion threads do not mention other reactions to spiritual root talent.

And judging from the discussion in the post, it seems that many practitioners are not very enthusiastic about spiritual root talents. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that it should be related to the resources for cultivation.

After all, no matter how good one's talent is, if there are no resources to keep up, one can only improve slowly.

"The Daoist Academy... The cultivators who can enter here are all national-level geniuses, the best among men. However, my age has exceeded the Daoist Academy's admission standards. Even if I continue to improve my spiritual roots in the future, it will be difficult for me to get in!"

Zhou Ping knew about the Taoist temple.

This national-level educational institution can be seen on the Internet, and the admission standards are also disclosed. Anyone who is under the age of fifteen and has practiced for no more than three years can apply to the Taoist temple.

The registration requirements are very strict.

If you want to get in, the standards are probably even higher.

……

The next day.

8am.

Zhou Ping drove to the gate of the Jiangcheng Special Security Division. After receiving the news, his uncle, Chen Bin, came downstairs to greet him. Seeing Zhou Ping, he smiled and stepped forward, taking his arm. "Yesterday, when the department learned you were a quasi-cultivator, they praised me profusely. Because the security division often handles extremely dangerous incidents, quasi-cultivators are generally reluctant to enter."

"We've been recruiting for so many years, but we haven't even had a single prospective practitioner. You're the first one."

Speaking of which.

My uncle said half-jokingly, "If you leave now, it's not too late."

Zhou Ping said hurriedly, "If I leave, my uncle will lose face, and my aunt will definitely scold me later."

My uncle laughed out loud.

The two came into the building.

Zhou Ping was flattered to see a welcome banner hanging there.

On the fifth floor.

My uncle said casually, "The work I've assigned to you is quite leisurely. It's mainly about coordinating with the finance department to compile reports. No one else in the office has any objections. After all, you're a quasi-cultivator, so you should focus on cultivation. I'll first familiarize you with the environment, and then we'll go through the process."

"You can go practice in the afternoon."

Zhou Ping was stunned. "Only one morning class?"

"Correct."

"The Security Department doesn't actually have much to do. Even if they encounter a serious incident, they're only responsible for peripheral evacuation coordination and security. The real ones to deal with are the cultivators."

My uncle smiled and said, "Although I'm a criminal investigator, I'm old now. Even if I want to help, no one will let me."

Zhou Ping said, "Uncle, please don't show off, or you'll make Aunt and Tongtong worry."

Come to the fifth floor.

He met other colleagues in the office. There were two who were about the same age as his uncle, both veteran criminal investigators. The remaining three were younger, two men and one woman. Their attitude towards Zhou Ping was indeed as his uncle had said, very welcoming.

So on his first day at work in the security department, Zhou Ping felt very comfortable.

2 p.m.

He went to Resource Cultivation Co., Ltd., and although he had already mastered the advanced body-building method, he still spent an hour watching videos in the audio-visual room, and then spent another half an hour practicing in the martial arts hall.

"Brother Zhou."

"You're up pretty early."

during break.

Zhou Ping met Zhu Yuyang from the company.

After a brief chat, he asked curiously, "Xiao Yang, are there usually so few people in the martial arts hall?"

There are hundreds of prospective practitioners in the company.

Even if they couldn't get together, there should be more than twenty people staying in the company to practice. However, there were not many people when he was practicing Zhuangquan.

Zhu Yuyang whispered, "Brother Zhou, our company only sees most of the prospective practitioners and practitioners on the days when we distribute spiritual nutrient solution and high-energy nutrient pills. On other days, only those who have just joined the company will come here frequently."

"Once you've mastered the training method, you don't actually need to come to the company. Everyone's training habits are different, and those old people have their own private venues."

Zhou Ping suddenly realized.

Right.

Aspiring practitioners are not short of money, and it is not difficult for them to get a private martial arts training hall. Therefore, the facilities in the company are not very attractive to them, and resources are the most scarce.

It is because the company has control over the cultivation resources that it can attract so many prospective practitioners and practitioners.

“Not being able to see those old people isn’t a bad thing.”

"Some guys have...very bad personalities."
