Original God: Founding the Shushan Sect, Gathering People in Teyvat to Cultivate Immortality.

"Your aptitude for cultivating immortals must be high. Plus, your own strength is not weak. If you are willing to cultivate immortals, your achievements should not be low."

Hearing that Jiang Yan recognized him and others so much, even Zhongli felt secretly delighted.

But he still suppressed his joy and whispered:

"Excessive praise."

Jiang Yan looked at Zhongli and the others carefully, and then said:

"But there is something I must tell you in advance."

"Cultivating immortals is indeed the path to the great Dao, and it is also a way to achieve infinite sublimation."

"But it is also because of this that talent is highly valued in cultivation."

"The better the talent, the faster the cultivation speed. The worse the talent, the less likely one may be unable to embark on the path of cultivation in his lifetime."

"You must be mentally prepared for this."

"After all, there are fewer talented people in this world."

Hearing this, Ganyu and the others suddenly looked worried.

"You mean..."

Liu Yun pursed his lips and said with a heavy voice:

"Maybe we don't have the talent to cultivate immortality?"

"No, that's not what I meant."

Jiang Yan shook his head decisively:

"Everyone present here doesn't need to worry. Although I haven't checked your qualifications in detail, they are obviously not bad."

"What I mean is that there are still more ordinary people in the world. Even if Shushan opens its gates, there will probably only be a few qualified people in Liyue."

After hearing Jiang Yan's explanation, Liu Yun and others breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as you are qualified, everything else is acceptable.

From the beginning they didn't expect that everyone could practice Taoism.

Even the Eye of God is only possessed by a few individuals, let alone the more powerful immortals.

"Everything is determined by fate. You are willing to reopen the mountain gate in Liyue. For ordinary people, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to have an extra extraordinary opportunity."

Zhongli said slowly, Jiang Yan pondered for a moment and said softly:

"If you just want to gain extraordinary power, it's not that difficult. Not everyone in the world of immortal cultivation is qualified to cultivate immortality."

"After all, most people are ordinary people."

"Ordinary people who are unable to cultivate immortality have figured out martial arts on their own. Although in the end they can only be compared with the cultivators who have refined their essence into qi, their life span will not increase by much."

"For a cultivator who is devoted to immortality, it is not worth mentioning."

"But at least there are some extraordinary seeds."

Hearing Jiang Yan say this, Zhongli was somewhat tempted.

It sounds like the martial arts that Jiang Yan talked about are no different from the martial arts that are popular in Teyvat.

But after carefully analyzing his words, Jiang Yan called them the seeds of transcendence.

The martial arts that can be recognized by a cultivator as having certain extraordinary qualities seem to be much stronger than those martial arts in Teyvat that can only strengthen the body.

He himself doesn't need it, but if he gives it to the army...

Perhaps we can cultivate an extremely powerful army of extraordinary people.

However, Zhongli was not in a hurry to talk about this matter with Jiang Yan now.

"You said that cultivating immortals requires qualifications. How do we judge this specifically?"

Putting those thoughts aside for the moment, Zhongli asked the question he was most curious about.

"This needs to be discussed from many angles. However, after combining many immortal cultivation systems, we finally concluded that the most appropriate and common way to judge qualifications is spiritual roots."

Jiang Yan stretched out his hand and gently brushed across the stone table. Suddenly, his true energy condensed into a magnificent mirror on the stone table.

"The so-called spiritual roots are the most basic natural attributes of a person. The stronger the spiritual roots, the stronger the aptitude for cultivating immortals."

"Although the spiritual root theory cannot fully represent the immortal cultivation system, it is generally sufficient. After all, other situations are not something you can encounter casually."

"Spiritual roots are widely classified. The five spiritual roots of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth are the conventional five elements spiritual roots, and they are also the most popular spiritual roots."

"Basically, most of the immortal cultivators have this kind of spiritual roots."

"After that, there are many other spiritual roots such as wind, thunder, ice, dust, etc. Although spiritual roots are rare, it does not mean that they are stronger than the five elements spiritual roots."

"It's just that the different spiritual roots have powers that are different from the five elements spiritual roots. Practicing the corresponding techniques will also be more handy."

"For example, a cultivator with thunder spiritual roots who practices thunder magic is stronger than cultivators with other spiritual roots."

Jiang Yan's theory of spiritual roots almost opened up a brand new yet well-organized and rigorous logical system of cultivating immortals in the minds of Zhongli and others.

This is unheard of.

But it sounds interesting.

More doubts lingered in their minds.

Suddenly, Liu Yun thought of something, raised his head excitedly and said:

"If the same person possesses multiple spiritual roots, or even the so-called five elements spiritual roots and many different spiritual roots, then wouldn't that be..."

"A waste body."

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Yan took over the conversation.

"What did you say?"

Liu Yun's face froze and he looked at Jiang Yan in confusion.

"I say, if someone possesses multiple spiritual roots, then he is one of the most useless people in the world of immortal cultivation."

“Even if there is a great opportunity to practice, being able to practice to the point of refining essence into qi is already incredible.”

"But as far as I can remember, there has never been such a case of a loser making a comeback."

"Those with multiple spiritual roots who were detected were basically sent back to the secular world and eventually became unknown."

Liu Yun found it hard to accept, pursed his lips and whispered:

"how so……"

Jiang Yan said softly:

"Spiritual roots, the more the better, but the simpler the better."

"As the old saying goes in Liyue, biting off more than you can chew, the general meaning is pretty much the same."

15. Spiritual root testing: Is Teyvat’s specialty a genius in cultivating immortals?

It is too complicated to explain to them that the more spiritual roots you have, the better. Moreover, they may not understand.

But if you just say that you can't chew too much, then you will understand.

Liu Yun looked as if he had suddenly realized something and didn't ask any more questions on this topic.

It actually saved Jiang Yan some effort.

Soon, Jiang Yan noticed that Zhongli and others seemed to be hesitant to talk, and he guessed what they were thinking.

I just want to see if I have spiritual roots and what my talent is.

So, Jiang Yan originally planned to let them take a test.

He immediately smiled gently and pointed to the mirror condensed with true energy on the stone table.

"If you are curious about your talent, you can use this mirror to test it. This is a small spell that is specially used to test the talent of disciples."

Hearing this, Zhongli immediately perked up and, under Jiang Yan's guidance, placed his hand on the mirror.

In full view of everyone, the mirror began to vibrate.

Immediately afterwards, a steady ochre-colored light bloomed from the mirror, and eventually condensed into a beam of light rising steadily above Zhongli's head.

Zhongli was a little confused and was about to ask Jiang Yan something, but he noticed that Jiang Yan was looking at him with a complicated expression.

There was a hint of incredible emotion in his eyes.

Zhong Li's heart suddenly calmed down.

But he still asked:

"So, how is my talent for cultivation?"

Jiang Yan withdrew his gaze and sighed with regret.

"Heavenly Earth Spiritual Root..."

"Is that all right?"

Zhongli asked curiously.

Jiang Yan shook his head slightly.

"You underestimate yourself too much. A heavenly earth spiritual root, in other words, a heavenly spiritual root, is a top-level genius who will surely become an immortal as long as he does not die young."

"Even in the heyday of Mount Shu, many elders would scramble to become his true disciple."

Upon hearing this, Xiao and others immediately congratulated Zhongli with joy.

Although Zhongli has a calm temperament, it would be strange if he had no emotions at all about such things.

Feeling somewhat satisfied, Zhongli stepped aside.

Jiang Yan also perked up.

Originally, he had never thought that Zhongli really had such a strong talent.

He just thought that Zhongli would have the talent to cultivate immortals, as long as he had it, even if he had a half-useless qualification like three spiritual roots.

He could use the excuse that Shushan was being rebuilt and needed people, and then pull Zhongli into Shushan as a laborer...

No!

Be a pillar!

But who knows...

This guy Zhongli is clearly a life form from the small world of Teyvat on the tree of imaginary numbers.

He actually possesses a natural spiritual root that is rare even in the world of immortal cultivation.

How can we reason with this?

If Zhongli really started to cultivate immortality, Jiang Yan felt that this guy would really be able to overcome the tribulation and become an immortal.

At that moment, Jiang Yan couldn't help but become more serious and looked at the rest of the people expectantly.

One Zhongli is already a big profit, but Jiang Yan never minds making a little more.

"Ganyu, go ahead."

Liu Yun patted Gan Yu beside him. The latter was stunned for a moment and was about to refuse.

Jiang Yan reached out and held Gan Yu's hand.

"Hold your breath, calm your mind, and let the true energy in the mirror flow freely. Don't resist."

Gan Yu didn't pay attention to what Jiang Yan said, she only knew that Jiang Yan held her hand.

In an instant, a blush crept up from her neck to her cheeks, and Ganyu's eyes seemed to be spinning.

However, the next moment, an extremely cold breath surged from within the body, and Ganyu suddenly came back to her senses.

The mirror in front of him, which was condensed with true energy, suddenly glowed with an ice-blue light.

However, it was a bit weaker than the beam of light that Zhongli had just emitted.

Everyone didn't understand what this meant and could only look at Jiang Yan.

However, he found that Jiang Yan was beginning to doubt his life. He kept looking at the mirror, as if he thought there was something wrong with it.
