"Is this person from Azure Wood Mountain?" As he took a few steps, the soldier approached with a smile.
"Yes."
When leaving the mountain, Zhan Lingfeng also saw a stone tablet that had the words Azure Wood Mountain inscribed on it.
"There are quite a few wild people from Azure Wood Mountain who come into the city. Those among them who possess a Spiritual Root have all joined my Merchant Sect."
"Merchant Sect?"
Zhan Lingfeng looked at him in confusion.
"Please follow me; we can sit down and talk."
Zhan Lingfeng followed the man to a tea house.
"One pot of plum tea, please."
After speaking, he smiled at Zhan Lingfeng and said, "I am Wen Jin, pleased to meet you."
"Hello, General Wen."
"I don't deserve the title of general. You may not be too familiar with the situation here, right?"
"Yes, I have just come from deep in the mountains and know nothing about the situation here."
As soon as Zhan Lingfeng finished speaking, there was a chorus of mocking voices in the Live Stream Room.
"When the noodles lie, I have to admit defeat this time!"
"Look at him lying without even blushing, I have to admit defeat too!"
"I didn't expect someone like this!"
Listening to everyone's discussions, Zhan Lingfeng felt a bit awkward.
"Zhan Xing, all the sects on our planet were established by countries that once existed on Earth. At the beginning, everyone was quite powerful, but as time passed and our countries were destroyed, the number of talents sent from Earth has decreased more and more. This has caused our sects to weaken, and now we only control a few small cities."
"You all belong to sects, not countries?"
"That's right. Here, everything is controlled by sects. We are all disciples of the sects. We also have a task, which is to recruit Spiritual Root disciples to join our sect. Although Awakening has not yet entered the Qi Gathering stage, I observe that Awakening might possess a Spiritual Root. I wonder if Awakening would be willing to join our Merchant Sect?"
"Join a sect?"
Zhan Lingfeng hesitated; he really hadn't thought about joining a sect.
"Awakening, while joining a sect here is a matter of personal choice, your identity is already set as a wild person entering the city under my Merchant Sect. Therefore, you can only join our Merchant Sect; other factions will see you as a lowly commoner."
"Is there such an implication?"
"Of course. Even if you possess a Spiritual Root, if you go to another sect to join them now, they won't accept you as a core disciple. Your identity determines that you can only join our Merchant Sect."
Now Zhan Lingfeng was somewhat displeased; this clearly carried a hint of threat.
"Zhan Lingfeng, it seems they have you all figured out!"
"Yes, this apricot is clearly trying to force you to join. It seems very sincere, but it doesn't leave you any way out. The situation is already clear; if you don't agree, then it will come to blows!"
There were already dozens of people watching the Live Streaming, and everyone began to discuss the matter of this First-Level Civilization. They were indeed very curious.
"I wonder what it takes to join, and what restrictions are there after joining?" Zhan Lingfeng asked.
"Naturally, when you join, you have to take the Soul Oath, vowing never to betray and to serve the sect until death. Other than that, it's quite simple."
A special look appeared in Zhan Lingfeng's eyes. How could one be so naive? Taking the Soul Oath was not that easy, and serving until death? If it were a large sect, it might be acceptable, but if it were a weak sect, wouldn't he have to die with them when they faced extermination?
The audience erupted in outrage; everyone started cursing. While it was true that joining a sect required an oath, it didn't mean that the sect had to demand that its disciples perish alongside it.
"I'm sorry, but I don't have a Spiritual Root."
"What?" Wen Jin's expression turned sour.
"I've tested before; I really don't have a Spiritual Root."
"Let me borrow your Spirit Testing Instrument for a moment."
Wen Jin then took out a small Spirit Testing Instrument and handed it to Zhan Lingfeng.
Zhan Lingfeng showed no hesitation. After taking it and channeling his Inner Qi into it, the Spirit Testing Instrument indeed showed no reaction.
"How is this possible!"
Wen Jin frowned and then placed his hand on Zhan Lingfeng's hand and said, "Try again."
Zhan Lingfeng was once again urged to activate the test, but it turned out that there was truly no sign of any Spiritual Root.
After retracting the Spirit Testing Instrument, Wen Jin appeared quite disappointed and said, "I can't believe there really is no Spiritual Root!"
When looking at Zhan Lingfeng, he expressed his unease and said, "I can't help it; there's nothing that can be done. Is there still a need to join a sect?"
With a snort, Wen Jin stood up and said, "No need."
After saying this, he strode out.
Meanwhile, Zhan Lingfeng poured himself some tea and slowly took a sip.
"I mean, Zhan Lingfeng, you really don’t have a Spiritual Root, do you?"
"How is that possible? An Artifact Spirit wouldn’t enter the body of someone without a Spiritual Root."
"Exactly, the most basic requirement for opening the Sky Net is that one must possess a Spiritual Root!"
"Yes, Zhan Lingfeng definitely has a Spiritual Root. How did he manage that?"
"Hiding a Spiritual Root has many methods for those of us above Five-Level civilization, but for those below Fifth-Level Civilization, there are not many means available."
Everyone became curious about how Zhan Lingfeng managed to hide his Spiritual Root.
"Very well, being able to conceal the Spiritual Root to bypass this entry requirement deserves a reward. Here’s one hundred Merit Points," said someone named Hong He, offering one hundred Merit Points.
"I see now; he must have purchased a body. As long as he retrieves his soul, that body won’t show any signs of a Spiritual Root!”
A spectator also spoke up.
At this moment, Zhan Lingfeng had already been drinking tea for a while and walked out of the teahouse.
Along the way, Zhan Lingfeng was also studying this small town.
The town was not large, and an ancient charm could be seen everywhere.
Just then, suddenly, a powerful aura spread throughout the area, and a pleasant voice echoed across the entire town.
"The Qu Mountain Bandits have arrived, close the city gates!"
As this voice rang out, a large number of martial artists rushed towards the city gates from all directions of the small town.
"Ah, I've heard about the battles of the First-Level Civilization for a long time but have never seen one. Let's go to Live Streaming; as long as we stream it live, Merit Points will definitely be awarded," Cailing'er said excitedly, speaking loudly.
"Yes, I've heard that battles in the First-Level Civilization are large-scale brawls. Let us see!" The people in the Live Stream Room were all demanding.
Zhan Lingfeng was also quite curious about this matter. Just as he was about to step forward, that voice shouted again, "This time the Qu Mountain Bandits are coming in full force. All martial artists in the city must go to the city walls to fight. Those who disobey orders will die!"
