Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 1 Endogenous Magnetic Field
Zhou Qing got up before dawn in the morning.

He found his only unpatched piece of clothing and prepared to attend the Qingyun Sect's disciple recruitment event held every three years.

In the yard, Old Man Zhou was harnessing the family's old donkey to a cart. At the same time, he was feeding it a handful of soybeans and trying to comfort it with kind words, telling it not to act up today.

This old donkey has been serving the Zhou family for more than ten years. As it enters its old age, its temper becomes more and more stubborn.

Sometimes it gets angry and sticks its neck out and refuses to move. Even if you whip it, it won't budge.

Old Man Zhou doesn't want it to be stubborn on this important day.

"Brother Zhou, is your Zhou Qing going to take the test today?"

The short carpenter Wang appeared at the door with his chubby son with a happy face.

From what he said, it was clear that he wanted to get a ride with us.

Old Man Zhou looked into the house and whispered, "Is it okay not to go?"

Carpenter Wang nodded in understanding.

The children of the Zhou family are obsessed with cultivating immortals and are well-known in the nearby villages.

He had taken the tests every time since he was twelve and could start taking them.

He failed the first time and failed the second time. Unable to bear the blow, the child jumped into the lake and committed suicide.

Although he was rescued later, his personality changed drastically.

At first, he would often stare at one place in a daze, thinking hard for most of the day, no one knew what he was thinking about, and sometimes he would ask about things that seemed very ordinary to others.

Eventually he returned to normal, and everyone thought he had let go of his obsession and no longer wanted to cultivate immortality, but unexpectedly his obsession became even stronger.

Every day he caught someone and asked them about matters related to cultivating immortals.

The people in the village could barely read and could not say anything, so he went to Yunzhou City to ask someone.

Seeing that the day when Qingyun Sect would accept disciples was approaching, Father Zhou knew that he could not stop his son from taking the test, so he got up early in the morning to prepare.

Father Zhou touched the chubby head of Carpenter Wang's son, Wang Xiaohu, and said with a smile, "Time flies! Xiaohu is already twelve years old. This child has been gifted since he was young. I think he will definitely succeed."

Carpenter Wang chuckled and said, "Among the children in our village, your Zhou Qing is the smartest. If he's not good enough, Xiao Hu is even worse. The main thing is to go out and see the world."

Old Man Zhou was about to say a few polite words when he suddenly heard footsteps coming from the room behind him. He quickly made a hissing sound, signaling Carpenter Wang not to discuss the issue anymore.

He turned around and saw that Zhou Qing's face was normal, as if he hadn't heard their discussion. He smiled with relief and said, "Everything is ready, let's go."

Zhou Qing nodded, wrapped some cakes he was going to eat on the road in a bundle and put them on the cart, then he and the Wang father and son got on the donkey cart.

The old donkey was in a particularly cheerful mood after receiving the bribe and did not act stubbornly throughout the journey.

Zhoujia Village is about thirty or forty miles away from Yunzhou City, and the four of them arrived before noon.

The test location is not in the city, but on a high platform in the south of the city.

The high platform is called Linxiantai. It is made of white jade, half a zhang high and more than three zhang square.

At noon, the immortal master of Qingyun Sect will descend to the platform and examine the children who come to take the test one by one.

There is a building next to Linxiantai, named Huixian Tower.

This is prepared for the dignitaries in Yunzhou City.

During the test, dignitaries would go upstairs to observe the test results. If they saw a child passing the test, they would rush over to make a good relationship with him.

It was almost noon at this time, and almost all the children who came to take the test had arrived. Together with their parents, they surrounded Linxiantai so tightly that no one could get in or out.

Among them were poor families with patchwork clothing, wealthy merchants dressed in silk and satin, and officials adorned with jewels and jade. Zhou Qing took in this scene and couldn't help but sigh.

When poor people see rich families, they usually bow and scrape, calling them "Master". When they see high-ranking officials, they kneel on the side of the road to give way even if they are across the street.

Now, it seemed as if there was no difference in status at all, and everyone was crowded together under the Linxiantai.

This is the authority of the immortal master.

Below the immortal cultivators, all living beings are like ants!

As for who is the queen and who is the worker among the ants, this kind of identity difference is just a discussion within the ant colony, but if it is brought to the immortal master, it is purely laughable.

Zhou Qing became more and more determined to become an immortal cultivator.

But he had no confidence at all whether he could succeed.

During the three years since he traveled through time, he had learned some common sense about cultivating immortals from various channels.

It is said that cultivators establish connections with heaven and earth through the spiritual roots of the human body, absorbing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth into their bodies, thereby gaining cultivation.

Therefore, if you want to cultivate immortality, you must first have spiritual roots.

When major sects recruit disciples, they assess their spiritual roots.

Before he traveled through time, his original body had been tested twice, but neither of them detected any spiritual roots in his body. It could be said that he had absolutely no qualifications for cultivating immortals.

If it weren't for the ability that came with his journey through time, there would be no need for him to test it again.

Zhou Qing discovered that he had the ability to generate a magnetic field within a ten-foot radius around him.

This ability was not very strong. At first, he could only use the magnetic field to suspend some iron filings.

Over the past three years, as he continued to train his abilities and grew older, his body became stronger. He was already able to use the magnetic field to lift about 30 kilograms of iron for a quarter of an hour.

If it was just about generating a magnetic field, he couldn't see what it had to do with cultivating immortals.

However, in the process of exploring his abilities, he discovered that there was an invisible force in this world that could disturb his magnetic field.

This invisible force feels like something similar to a magnetic field, and it has different frequencies.

After continuous exploration and indirect inquiries from well-informed people in Yunzhou City, Zhou Qing finally determined that this invisible power was the spiritual energy used by cultivators to cultivate immortality.

In this way, although he cannot feel the spiritual energy directly, he can grasp it indirectly through his endogenous magnetic field.

Just like he cannot see the wind, but he can know there is wind by the fluttering of the flag.

Aura and magnetic field can disturb each other.

After continuous experimentation, Zhou Qing finally found a clever trick.

He can capture spiritual energy through magnetic fields, making it appear as if he has spiritual roots.

I hope I can hide it from everyone and pass the test successfully.

Of course, even if he passed the test, he might not be able to start practicing smoothly because he had no spiritual roots.

He is like a student who wants to get into Tsinghua University or Peking University by cheating, but after getting in, he may find that he can't understand anything and finally has to drop out.

But I can't care about that now.

At least enter the world of immortal cultivation first. Then there may be other ways, such as opening up spiritual roots or practicing by bypassing spiritual roots.

He traveled to the world of cultivating immortals, but was timid and let the opportunity to cultivate immortals slip away. He was afraid that he would regret it in the middle of the night and slap himself, blaming himself for not trying harder.
