Chapter 63 Stepping Forward

In the blink of an eye, a long line had formed on the open space, and the people who had crowded around were dispersed to a more distant place by the soldiers.

Some time has now passed.

Not a single person passed the first round of testing.

During this period, a young man was also found to have a spiritual root, and it was even of medium grade. However, the standard for Qingxuan Sect to accept disciples was high grade spiritual root.

Even at the mid-level, one is still not qualified to enter the Qingxuan Sect.

Moreover, spiritual roots are only in the first round of this test.

It is extremely difficult for ordinary people to join the Qingxuan Sect.

Therefore, the main source of disciples for the Qingxuan Sect is not from the mortal cities of the Song Kingdom, but from the cultivation markets located in various counties of the Song Kingdom.

Because only cultivators have a greater chance of giving birth to children with superior spiritual roots, and they can also learn about their own spiritual root aptitude in advance and cultivate the abilities required for testing.

"Brother Yu Huai, won't you give it a try?"

Huang Yi, who was standing next to Yu Huai, spoke up.

Ha ha.

"I'm too old for that now, it would be useless for me to go up there."

Yu Huai shook his head in reply.

"I see."

Huang Yi looked at Yu Huai with her innocent eyes and smiled:

"Brother Yu Huai, I'm going to take the test too. You said I'd definitely become an immortal, right?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Huai patted her head.

Spiritual roots are something that cannot be forced; without them, one cannot embark on the path to immortality, so there is no definitive answer.

He couldn't be sure if Huang Yi possessed spiritual roots.

Therefore, he only offered Huang Yi some encouragement before watching her go forward.

Just then, Qi Ji, who had been expressionless, suddenly spoke up, his face lighting up with joy:

"Superior water elemental root! Eligible to proceed to the next round of testing."

Everyone in the room looked toward the source of the sound and saw a boy dressed in tattered clothes, with a dark face and covered in mud, looking at Qi Ji with a blank expression.

"What's your name?"

Qi Ji, seeing the man's attire, didn't find it offensive and asked him a question.

He himself was also a high-grade spiritual root. The reason he would show joy when he saw someone with the same spiritual root was because those of them who went down the mountain to recruit disciples could receive a generous reward as long as they brought back one person.

"Zhang Dadan"

The boy seemed to realize something and hurriedly replied.

Ok.

"You stay by my side and get ready!"

"Everyone, I would like to inform you here that the next round of testing will be on one's character. Those who pass will be able to enter my Qingxuan Sect."

Qi Ji nodded, looked at the children in the room, and spoke.

Superior spiritual root?

I never expected it to happen.

With a superior spiritual root, even without joining the Qingxuan Sect, one's future is limitless, with the potential to reach Foundation Establishment, and if one joins the Qingxuan Sect, the potential to reach Golden Core is even greater.

However, it's only a hope.

The Qingxuan Sect exclusively accepts disciples with superior spiritual roots.

To date, there are only a few Golden Core Ancestors in the sect, and only one Core Formation Ancestor has emerged in the past hundred years.

This shows how difficult it is to form the elixir.

Having a superior spiritual root is merely an opportunity to enter the field.

If forming a golden core were easy, the Tian family's patriarch wouldn't have gone to such lengths.

Yu Huai thought to himself and shook his head.

He is currently only at the sixth level of Qi Refining, and he is still far from forming the Core. What he needs to do now is to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill, successfully establish his foundation, and then think about forming the Core.

However, with his cheat-like abilities and the added bonuses, Yu Huai believed that even if he only had a mid-grade spiritual root, he could still form a core.

And forming the Golden Core is just the beginning.

What he wants is immortality!

Time passed quickly, and it soon reached noon.

We're almost there, Huang Yi.

Yu Huai could clearly see her nervousness.

It's so difficult to obtain a top-grade spiritual root!

Now all eligible people in the city have been tested, and very few people have spiritual roots, let alone high-grade spiritual roots.

There is still only one person.

Huang Yi looked nervous, glanced at her parents standing to the side, then looked back at Yu Huai, and slowly walked forward.

Place your hand on the jade disc.

There was no response.

Yu Huai simply sighed, and Huang Xun and his wife shook their heads helplessly.

"No spiritual root, next."

Upon seeing this, Qi Ji announced it expressionlessly.

Upon hearing this, Huang Yi paused for a moment, and like the other unsuccessful candidates, walked away, said something to her parents, and didn't seem that sad.

This girl is quite strong.

Seeing Huang Yi walking towards him, Yu Huai thought to himself.

"Brother Yu Huai, it seems I won't become an immortal. What a pity."

Huang Yi shook her head and said regretfully to Yu Huai.

"It doesn't matter if you can't become an immortal. There are countless ways to live in this world. Peace and joy are rare blessings in themselves."

Yu Huai offered words of comfort.

Uh-huh!

"Brother Yu Huai is right."

Comforted by Yu Huai, Huang Yi's gloom vanished, a smile curving her lips. She tugged at Yu Huai's arm and whispered in his ear:

"Brother Yu Huai, you're actually an immortal, right? You must be the wandering immortal who saved me!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Huai was slightly taken aback.

How did she know?

Hey.

"On the second day after Brother Yu Huai arrived, the villains who kidnapped the child were executed. It's easy to guess that."

Huang Yi chuckled.

Yu Huai shook his head helplessly, gently tapped her little head, and smiled:

"Your father guessed this, didn't he? No wonder he trusted you to come with me."

He only had to wait a little longer before he could take the Ascension Token forward, and his identity as a cultivator would be exposed sooner or later, so he readily admitted it.

"Brother Yu Huai, are you really that wandering immortal?"

But just as Huang Yi asked the question, she saw Qi Ji above put away the jade disc on the table, glance at Zhang Dadan behind him, and say:

"The second round of testing is about character."

Yu Huai did not answer Huang Yi, but instead looked up.

This made Huang Yi, who was standing to the side, sullen and didn't say anything more, but also looked up.

After the first round of testing spiritual roots ended, only one person advanced to the second round.

If this man named Zhang Dadan fails the test, then once again, no one from Xiyun City will be able to enter the Qingxuan Sect this year.

This made all the people of Xiyun City look at him.

Under Qi Ji's instructions, Zhang Dadan sat cross-legged on the open ground and closed his eyes.

Qi Ji himself made a move, and several banners were taken into his hand and stuck around Zhang Dadan's body. Then, bursts of white mist covered him.

It should be some kind of formation.

Yu Huai pondered to himself.

A stick of incense burns out in the blink of an eye.

The white fog disappeared.

"The character test is over. Zhang Dadan has passed the test and is eligible to join our Qingxuan Sect. He is of medium quality."

Qi Ji put the flag away, looked around, and said with a smile.

For a moment, bursts of congratulations echoed through the venue.

Zhang Dadan, who was still quite inexperienced, blushed deeply.

After a while...

Qi Ji and the other two in the arena seemed to sense something, and they all looked in one direction, because there was an aura of cultivation coming from there.

Yu Huai had now removed the effect of the [Silver Ring]. Seeing three pairs of eyes fixed on him, he walked forward with a smile, clasped his hands in a fist salute to Qi Ji, and said:

"Fellow Daoist Qi Ji, it's been a long time!"
