Studying Science in the Alternate World

  Chapter 8 One Star Spiritual Apprentice

  West Station is in the outer city, and Faling Pagoda is in the inner city.

  The tram shuttles through every street, and all kinds of passengers come and go, but Duke always sits on the window seat, browsing every scene dazzled.

   “like the European cities in the era of the first industrial revolution described in textbooks…”

   "It's like a new cyberpunk world..."

  In addition to billowing black smoke and sewage flowing across the city, Shenjiao City also has flashing neon lights and heavy traffic. The bustling charm of technology and the filth of life are so compatible while being separated from each other.

   But when we got to the inner city, the dirty scene gradually became rare.

   Tall tower-shaped buildings are lined up, villas with gardens are distributed around the low hills, patrolling knights on cool mounts maintain law and order, shuttles fly close to the ground, and cars pass by slowly.

  Compared to the rampage in the outer city, although there are many people in the inner city, it is orderly.

   "Falinga is here!" The conductor yelled loudly before the tram stopped.

  Duke got up quickly, stood by the door, and got out of the car after the car stopped. At the same time, there were several people who got out of the car. One of the middle-aged men was the same as Duke, and his destination was Faling Pagoda.

   "From out of town?" Seeing Duke looking around, the middle-aged man suddenly asked.

   "Um, yes."

   "What are you here for?"

   "Registered Spiritual Apprentice."

   "Well, did you take the spirit awakening potion?"

   "How did you guess it?" Duke simply walked behind the middle-aged man.

   "No one will rest assured that the genius went to the Faling Pagoda to register alone, because he was snatched away." The middle-aged man walked to the gate of the Faling Pagoda, turned around and said to the two guards, "He is with me."

   "Okay, Mr. Will Gang." The security guard stopped checking Duke's identity.

  Duke entered the gate and asked curiously, "Mr. Wei Gang, didn't you ask for advice?"

   "The meditation method recorder is just an ordinary employee." Will just waved his hand, "You go directly to the lobby, and a special clerk will guide you to complete the registration of a spiritual apprentice. After you register and come to receive the meditation method, we will see you again."

  As soon as Will finished speaking, he hurried away with his briefcase.

"Thanks."

  Duke thanked him and walked decisively to the hall.

  Many people have already gathered at the front desk to handle various businesses. Duke is queuing up to hear what kind of business they are by the way. It is found that there are those who have reissued qualification certificates, those who exchange arcane templates, those who assess apprenticeship levels, and those who apply for private teaching. In short, the business scope of the Faling Pagoda is quite extensive.

"Next person."

   "Hi, I'm here to register as a spiritual apprentice."

   "Is there a recommendation form?"

"At this."

   "Tom, someone has registered as a spiritual apprentice, take him there." The clerk at the front desk in the hall shouted immediately.

   Soon, a young man with a pockmarked face took the recommendation form from the Faling Club in Snake Head Town, glanced at the content on the form, and then glanced at Duke: "Follow me."

  Maybe it was stated on the recommendation form that Duke took drugs to open his spiritual sea.

  Or maybe Tom himself is relatively reticent.

  The two of them were speechless along the way. They climbed a flight of stairs one after the other, turned a corner in the corridor, and came to a room with the "Linghai Sensing Center" hanging on it.

  Many staff members are busy inside.

  Tom waited with Duke for a while, and after finding a gap, he quickly handed over the recommendation form: "Linghai has started testing, please trouble me."

   Someone came over soon and led Duke to a machine full of texture. The machine was covered with non-metallic materials on all sides, and a crystal ball was placed in the middle.

   "Put your hands on it, and then meditate on your own spiritual sea." Said the old man who operated the machine.

   Duke did.

  Touching the crystal ball with both hands, his thoughts instantly entered his own spiritual sea.

  Just after entering, there was a thought exchange from Xiaoyi: "Master, there is power that seems to be rubbing the master's spiritual sea."

  Duke has already inquired about related matters: "This is to reflect my spiritual sea to test my spiritual arcana talent, Xiao Yi, can you hide you and Sand Eagle?"

"sure."

   "That's good, you guys hide it, I also want to know how high my spiritual arcane talent is." Duke decided.

  When he heard someone say "Okay, you can let go", he opened his eyes and found that there were many light spots reflected on the non-metallic plates around the machine, which was somewhat similar to the distribution of starlight in Duke Linghai.

   "Element Affinity: Low...Energy Stability: Medium...Spiritual Absorption Efficiency: Low...Comprehensive judgment talent is moderately low." The old man announced the test results, and then stamped the form.

"Forehead…"

  Duke has some regrets, but not too much disappointment.

  Most of the spiritual seas opened by taking drugs have low talent. In fact, even the spiritual seas that are opened naturally have a high probability of low talent. But talent is just a parameter. According to the book "Opening the Spiritual Arcana", talent does not determine the height of the spiritual arcane. There are many examples of spiritual apprentices with low talents becoming powerful arcane masters.

   "And I have Jiuhuan Xiaoyi, sooner or later I will survive to Jiuhuan!"

   Duke was not discouraged.

  But from Tom's eyes, he saw a trace of contempt that was not concealed.

   "Let's go Duke, Linghai has passed the test, and it's time to register formally." Tom said no more after saying hello, and just helped Duke go through all the procedures step by step.

at last.

  Paid a silver dragon handling fee and cost.

  Duke got his spiritual apprentice certificate, a Faling card as thin as a bank card, with a light green background, and there is no intuitive information about Duke written on it. There is only a tall and magnificent tower-like building—the headquarters of the Faling Tower in the capital of the Seven Towers Federation.

   "When you are promoted to one ring, you can replace the blue magic card. I guess you don't need it... Keep this magic card well. If you lose it, you need ten silver dragons to replace it."

  Tom said casually: "Spiritual apprentices are divided into five levels, from one star to five stars. You are now a one-star spiritual apprentice. You can come and swipe your card every time you upgrade to adjust your level. Alright, now I will take you to choose a meditation method."

  Duke put away his Faling card and quickly followed.

   When he chose to meditate, he saw Wei Gang who brought him in again, but the other party did not express anything in particular. He said in a business-like tone: "Your talent is low in the middle, and the three basic attributes, elemental affinity and spiritual absorption are not good. Only the energy stability is not bad. Here, I suggest you choose "Rock Meditation" to practice."

  Duke thought for a while and replied: "Mr. Wilgang, can I learn about other meditation methods before choosing?"

   "Okay, Ruixi, you can introduce the apprentice-level meditation method to him."

  Ruixi is Wilgang's female assistant. Her **** are quite plump, her face is slightly rough, and her voice is relatively thick: "Faling Pagoda has been improved through the ages, and a total of five meditation methods that are most suitable for spiritual apprentices have been deduced, namely "Color Meditation Method", "Rock Meditation Method", "Whirlpool Meditation Method", "White Paper Meditation Method" and "Field Meditation Method"..."
