Chapter 553: Found that their dormitory door was open
Jiang Luo lay on the sofa, listening to the members of the four teams reporting on their gains today, and a clear outline gradually formed in his mind.
"Too many people came today, and my hands are tired just from testing their spiritual roots." Lin Shishuang rubbed his wrist, with a hint of fatigue in his tone, but his eyes were still excited. "However, the harvest is indeed not small. Although there are no particularly strong spiritual roots, there are several people with good potential, especially Lin Rui. Although his spiritual roots are weak, his character is tenacious and worth cultivating."
Chu Jianglan took over the conversation and nodded, "Yes, and the people in the military district today are also very surprising. Six of them have spiritual roots, three with gold spiritual roots, two with fire spiritual roots, and one with wood spiritual roots. Especially the cook with wood spiritual roots, he is simply a natural spiritual chef."
Jiang Luo smiled and said, "The training and physique of the military district are indeed helpful for the awakening of spiritual roots. Their physical fitness and mental will are stronger than ordinary people, and their future potential cannot be underestimated."
"However, there are also many disappointed people today." Xiao Shuai sighed, with a hint of helplessness in his tone, "The majority of people have no spiritual roots. Many people came here with high hopes, but ended up returning disappointed. Although we gave them a basic guide to cultivating immortals, I'm afraid most people will still give up."
Jiang Luo nodded, his expression becoming serious: "The path of cultivating immortals is to go against the will of heaven. Spiritual roots are only the first step. Character, perseverance, and opportunity are all indispensable. All we can do is give them a chance. As for whether they can seize it, it depends on themselves."
The members of the four teams nodded in agreement.
At this moment, Lu Qing walked in from outside, holding a report in his hand, with a stern look on his face. He walked straight to Jiang Luo and handed him the report: "This is today's statistical result, take a look."
Jiang Luo took the report, quickly glanced through it, and frowned slightly: "People with no spiritual roots account for 60%, weak spiritual roots account for 30%, and the proportion of neutral and strong spiritual roots is indeed very low."
Lu Qing nodded and said calmly: "The spiritual energy recovery has just begun, and it is normal for the spiritual roots to have a low awakening rate. However, as time goes by, the awakening rate of the spiritual roots should gradually increase."
Jiang Luo put down the report and sighed: "That being said, we can't just sit and wait. The revival of spiritual energy brings not only opportunities, but also unknown threats. We must train a group of powerful cultivators as soon as possible to cope with future challenges."
Lu Qing glanced at him, his tone still cold: "What are your plans?"
Jiang Luo smiled, with a sly look in his eyes: "As for a plan, of course I have one. But first we have to see if we have enough resources and manpower."
Lu Qing raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "Resources and manpower are not a problem. The key is what you want to do."
Jiang Luo nodded, stood up, walked to the window, looked at the night sky in the distance, and said slowly: "First, we need to establish a complete cultivation system, from basic cultivation to advanced techniques, from alchemy to refining, there must be systematic teaching and guidance. Secondly, we need to expand the scope of selection, not just ordinary people, but also look for people with potential from the military, scientific research institutions, and even civil organizations. Finally, we also need to establish an intelligence network to closely monitor the recovery of spiritual energy at home and abroad, especially the trends abroad."
After listening to this, Lu Qing was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Your idea is good, but it is not easy to implement."
Jiang Luo smiled, turned around and looked at Lu Qing, his eyes gleaming with confidence: "It's fun when it's not easy, isn't it? Besides, with you, the ancient son of God, here, what do I have to fear?"
Lu Qing glanced at him and said calmly, "If you have anything, you can come to me. I will do it without hesitation. Who made me and you inseparable?"
Lu Qing is just like this, always speaking the most affectionate words with the most indifferent expression. This ancient son of God is a little tsundere.
Jiang Luo laughed and patted Lu Qing on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I won't put all the burden on you. We are a team, and only by working together can we go further."
Lu Qing didn't say anything else, just said "hmm" softly, but his eyes softened a little inadvertently.
The members of the fourth team couldn't help laughing as they watched the interaction between the two. Yuan Haokun teased, "Boss, your relationship with Fourth Brother Lu is really getting better and better."
Jiang Luo smiled and waved his hand: "Okay, stop talking nonsense. Everyone is tired today, let's go to bed early, there are more things waiting for us tomorrow."
Everyone nodded and went their separate ways to rest.
Jiang Luo had been busy all day, and went to the cafeteria with Lu Qing to have some food. This time, Lu Qing did not use the spiritual cooking spell, but asked the ghost cultivators in the ghost village to temporarily transfer a group of cooks over.
Jiang Luo had eaten the food they cooked before when he was guarding the ghost town. The food tasted really good. Moreover, the ghost cultivators also had ghost chefs, and this time they transferred more than a dozen of them over, and they cooked very quickly.
Well, it just looks a bit eerie, because the tofu they make is shaped like paper money, there are mini paper figurines on the plate, the napkins are folded into white paper flowers, and even when serving rice, the chopsticks are inserted straight into the bowl.
The students who came to eat were all stunned, thinking that the Luoxianmen Academy of Immortality was indeed different. Does it mean that in order to cultivate immortality one must first learn to live towards death?
Jiang Luo and Lu Qing sat in the corner of the cafeteria, looking at the shocked expressions of the students around them, and couldn't help but smile at each other.
"It seems that the aesthetic taste of ghost cultivators is still a bit... unique." Jiang Luo picked up a piece of tofu shaped like paper money and shook his head helplessly, "But it tastes really good, better than the one made by the spirit chef curse."
Lu Qing's expression was also somewhat bewildered, but he also understood: "Ghost cultivators have always been like this, just get used to it."
Jiang Luo smiled, picked up a piece of tofu and put it in his mouth, nodding with satisfaction: "Well, it's really delicious. However, the expressions of these students are quite interesting. I guess they think we are doing some kind of 'living towards death' practice ritual."
Lu Qing said "hmm" softly, and glanced at the stunned students in the cafeteria, with a slight smile on his face: "It's better to let them adapt for a while. The road to cultivation is full of unknowns and challenges. If they can't handle this little scene, how can they face bigger storms in the future?"
Jiang Luo laughed and patted Lu Qing on the shoulder: "You are right. When cultivating immortals, there must be some 'surprises'. However, we also have to be a little careful not to scare the students away."
Lu Qing shrugged noncommittally and continued to eat with his head down.
At this moment, Lin Rui came over with a plate of "Paper Money Tofu" with a hint of trepidation and curiosity on his face: "Master Jiang...Master Jiang, does this meal...have any special meaning?"
Jiang Luo looked up at him, smiled and shook his head: "There is no special meaning, it's just that the style of ghost cultivators is quite unique. Try it, it tastes pretty good."
“Ghost cultivators?” Lin Rui was stunned in astonishment. He glanced at the busy figures in the cafeteria and found that they did not have any ferocious looks. He swallowed and asked, “Master Jiang, are they all ghosts?”
Jiang Luo chuckled: "I guess so! But don't be afraid, they are here to help with the cooking, they are all ghost chefs. Although the food they make looks a little bit earthy, it tastes good. If you don't believe me, try it."
Lin Rui hesitated for a moment, picked up a piece of tofu and put it in his mouth. His eyes suddenly lit up: "It's really delicious! But the shape... is a bit scary."
Jiang Luo smiled and comforted him, "Just get used to it. The road to immortality is full of all kinds of strange things. You have to learn to adapt."
Lin Rui nodded, his expression gradually relaxed: "Master Jiang is right, I will work hard."
Jiang Luo nodded with satisfaction, and then asked, "By the way, did you go to the alchemy area to find Teacher Xia Kucao today? Did you get the spiritual medicine seeds?"
Lin Rui nodded quickly: "I got it! Teacher Xia Kucao also taught me some basic planting methods. I plan to start trying it tonight."
Jiang Luo patted his shoulder and encouraged him, "Very good, keep going. Remember, the key to cultivating immortals is persistence. As long as you work hard, you will achieve something in the future."
Lin Rui nodded gratefully and said solemnly: "Thank you, Master Jiang, I will definitely not let you down!"
Jiang Luo nodded: "If you have any questions, you can also ask Teacher Xia, he will teach you."
Lin Rui asked carefully, "Master Jiang, I... am a programmer. I take on some outsourced work so I don't have to go to the office every day. I wonder if I can find a part-time job here? Security guard, teaching assistant, cleaner, or a teacher's driver, I can do anything!"
Jiang Luo asked: "After doing all this work, do you still have time to cultivate immortality and do your own job?"
Lin Rui was stunned, scratched his head embarrassedly and said: "I just want to find an excuse to stay. Is this request too much?"
Jiang Luo thought for a moment and said, "Not really. Look, there's no one to be the dormitory manager of the boys' dormitory yet. If you want to stay, go and report to Han Muqing, the teacher in charge of logistics. The dormitory manager position doesn't require much work, just take care of the door control. But everyone here is an adult, so there's no need to manage it. There's a piece of land in front of the dormitory, you can circle it out for yourself. This way, you have time to work and time to grow spiritual medicine, killing three birds with one stone."
Lin Rui looked at Jiang Luo excitedly and asked, "Really? Teacher Jiang! Can I really do this?"
Jiang Luo nodded and said, "Of course it's true. Well, let's go eat first! After dinner, remember to go to the first floor of the small pink building in the back to find Teacher Han."
Lin Rui nodded heavily, his eyes immediately turned red, and he choked up and said, "Okay, okay, I'll go eat now. Thank you, Teacher Jiang, thank you!"
Jiang Luo smiled, watched Lin Rui leave, then turned to Lu Qing and said, "This kid has a good character. Although his spiritual roots are weak, he may achieve something in the future."
Lu Qing said "hmm" lightly, with a hint of approval in his tone: "You are quite good at choosing people."
Jiang Luo laughed and said jokingly, "Of course. After all, I am the one favored by the Ancient God's Son. How can my vision be bad?"
Lu Qing glanced at him, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, but he did not refute.
After the two finished their meal, Jiang Luo stretched and said to Lu Qing, "Let's go back and rest. There are still a lot of things waiting for us tomorrow."
Lu Qing nodded, stood up, and left the cafeteria with Jiang Luo.
As the night deepened, the students of Xiuxian Academy gradually dispersed, leaving only the busy ghost cultivators in the cafeteria. The "hell" style dishes and paper money-shaped tofu became the students' after-dinner talk, and also became their first lesson on the road to Xiuxian - adapt to the unknown and meet challenges.
After returning to the dormitory, Jiang Luo discovered that their dormitory door was open. Jiang Luo and Lu Qing frowned slightly and immediately felt a little strange.
