Chapter 3 Spiritual Root Test (12)

Chapter 3 Spiritual Root Test

Qin Tian felt his delicate hand slip and quickly pulled it out.

Sister Ye looked even colder. She didn't even look at Qin Tian. She turned and walked straight to an old man in a golden robe. She clasped her fists and bowed respectfully and said:

"Elder, the last person carrying the jade token has been found."

Hearing this, the old man looked calm and calm. He just hummed lightly and said no more.

Seeing this, the cold and arrogant Sister Ye respectfully said goodbye and turned around to fly into the fog behind the stone tablet.

On the other side, Qin Tian just reacted at this time and looked around with an embarrassed look on his face.

On the vast flat ground in front of the mountain gate, there were no less than a thousand boys and girls neatly arranged. The oldest of them was about a dozen years old, and the youngest was no more than eight or nine years old.

Opposite the crowd, there stood several young monks, all of whom were imposing and sharp, all dressed in white robes, and they must be from the Qianyuan Sect.

In the middle was a chair, on which sat an old man in a golden robe and with a Taoist style.

This man was calm, with his eyes slightly closed, his long eyebrows fluttering, and no imposing manner at all, just like an ordinary old man.

However, Qin Tian would not be so stupid as to regard him as an ordinary person. It can be easily seen from the situation at the scene that this person's identity is definitely quite noble.

Next to the old man, there stood a young man in a white robe, who was the one who had just scolded him.

This man looked quite handsome, with a white robe fluttering and elegant, but his eyes were always filled with a sinister look, and he was staring coldly at Qin Tian at this moment.

Although the latter was a little confused when he saw this, he also saw that this person's identity was not low.

Therefore, Qin Tian did not bother with him, as he was new here and did not want to make too many enemies. Instead, he turned around and walked to the back of the crowd.

However, his "beggar" outfit really attracted a lot of cold eyes and curiosity, and more contempt and disdain.

Qin Tian ignored it and continued to walk quickly to the back in silence.

Until he came to the last row, his eyes could not help but light up.

Probably because a tall boy with the same dark skin, also dressed in a "beggar" outfit, was standing alone in the corner.

Seeing Qin Tian coming, this person was obviously slightly stunned, and then the two looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

Qin Tian bowed and said:

"I am Qin Tian, ​​I am new here, may I ask what your name is, senior brother?"

"Hello, brother Qin, my name is Zeng Aniu"

The tall boy said shyly.

Seeing this situation, Qin Tian could not help but look surprised.

After all, this young man looked tall and mighty, and his age was about the same as his own. He actually blushed. I guess he was born in a remote place like himself and had never seen the world!

Just as Qin Tian was secretly sighing, a white-robed Qianyuan Sect disciple in front of him suddenly took two steps forward and shouted:

"Silence!"

As soon as these words came out, the originally noisy scene suddenly quieted down.

"The time has come. Next, we will start the spiritual root test. Everyone line up and come forward one by one!"

After the white-robed disciple finished speaking, everyone arranged their formations with some trepidation. Qin Tian and Zeng Aniu were naturally the last.

Then the young man in the first place walked forward with a nervous look on his face.

And the white-robed disciple took out a rather simple mirror-like treasure and quickly shone it in front of the young man.

As the mirror surface shone with a burst of light, it turned into a golden, green and blue light column in just a short moment.

Seeing this, the white-robed disciple announced calmly:

"You have three spiritual roots of gold, wood, and water. You are qualified. Go stand over there."

After saying that, he pointed to the empty space next to him. The young man was overjoyed to hear that. He thanked him and walked to the side.

As everyone came forward to take the test, Qin Tian stood behind the crowd and couldn't help but wonder.

Although he had heard about the spiritual roots since he followed Xuan Lie, he didn't know how to distinguish them.

After hesitating for a moment, Qin Tian couldn't hold back his curiosity and could only politely ask the person in the front row:

"This senior brother is polite. May I ask what exactly is going on with this spiritual root?"

Hearing this, the young man in front immediately turned around and looked at Qin Tian with some disdain and said:

"Where did you come from, a country boy who doesn't even know about spiritual roots and dares to come to visit the mountain gate!"

Hearing this, Qin Tian couldn't help but sigh in his heart and quickly spoke kindly:

"Senior brother, your broad knowledge is admirable. I hope you will teach me."

As the saying goes, flattery never wears out.

After this, the young man's face suddenly eased a lot, and it was obvious that the flattery had an effect.

Seeing a smug look on his face, he coughed lightly and started to show off:

"You must know that if ordinary people like us want to cultivate immortality, we must have spiritual roots. However, there are countless ordinary people in the Endless Demon Sea, but there are very few people with spiritual roots. It is not an exaggeration to say that only one in a thousand can be picked.

And spiritual roots are divided into five elements, namely gold, wood, water, fire, earth, and variant spiritual roots such as ice, thunder and wind.

And spiritual roots are also divided into strong and weak. For example, a single spiritual root is a heavenly spiritual root. This kind of spiritual root is extremely sensitive to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the speed of cultivation is much faster than that of ordinary cultivators.

For example, the fairy who brought you here is a rare variant spiritual root, an ice-type heavenly spiritual root."

Hearing this, Qin Tian was shocked again:

"Are you talking about that fairy Sister Ye?"

When the young man in front heard this, he couldn't help but show a look of obsession on his face, and he said with a rather imaginative smile:

"Yes, that's her! Senior Sister Ye Qiushui of Tingchao Peak! Rumor has it that this woman is extremely talented. She has reached the peak of Qi refining at the age of twenty! She is also known as the most beautiful woman in Tingchao Peak!"

"Ye Qiushui, what a good name!"

Qin Tian couldn't help but murmur to himself after hearing this.

But after waiting for a while, seeing that the young man in front still looked like a pig, Qin Tian couldn't help but feel helpless, and quickly interrupted:

"My dear, Qin Tian, ​​haven't you asked your senior brother for his name yet?"

"I, Nangong handsome, am the young master of the Nangong family!"

Nangong Yingjun was obviously a little dissatisfied with being disturbed, but he still showed off proudly.

Hearing this, Qin Tian couldn't help but look at this person in surprise.

No matter how you look at it, he is ordinary. Although he is not ugly, it has absolutely nothing to do with handsome. At most, he is as equal as Zeng Aniu behind him.

As for the Nangong family, it is one of the affiliated forces of the Qianyuan Sect. Qin Tian has heard about it.

After all, although old man Xuan Lie didn't teach the techniques of cultivating immortals at the beginning, he did talk a lot about various forces in the world of cultivating immortals and the knowledge of cultivating immortals.

But whether intentionally or not, the matter of spiritual roots was never mentioned.

After a few slanders in his heart, Qin Tian was attracted by the noise in the venue.

I saw that the field test was only half way through, and most of the teenagers had mixed spiritual roots, multiple spiritual roots, or even no spiritual roots at all.

According to the requirements of the Qianyuan Sect, one must at least possess spiritual roots to be considered qualified.

However, judging from the current situation, there are only a few dozen qualified people, which shows that the elimination rate is high.

Seeing this scene, Qin Tian couldn't help but become a little nervous.

After all, this spiritual root matter is related to the fate of the immortal path, and there is no room for sloppiness.

At this moment, another person stepped forward, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

Probably because the person who stepped forward to test was the youngest child, only eight or nine years old.

There was a bit of fear on his face, and he walked forward nervously. His two little hands were still entangled subconsciously, and he seemed a little at a loss.

When the white-robed disciple saw this, he did not hesitate, and took advantage of the situation to activate the treasure mirror and shine it through.

The next moment, a cyan light pillar was seen rising into the sky, and the momentum was extremely mammoth.

Seeing this situation, the white-robed disciple couldn't help but look dull, and for a moment he forgot to announce the result.

And the old man who had been keeping his eyes closed on the Grand Master's chair from the beginning to now suddenly opened his eyes at this moment, his eyes full of shock and ecstasy.

After the audience was eerily quiet, bursts of discussion suddenly broke out.

"Oh my God, what is that? Is it the rumored Tianling Root?"

"Monster, you have a heavenly spiritual root that is rare to see in a thousand years."

"It's actually a Tianling root, and the color seems to be of the wood type..."

.............

For a time, such discussions could be heard endlessly, causing violent commotion to occur again in the originally silent place.

Even Qin Tian and Nangong Yingjun looked shocked and envious.

"Monster, you are simply a monster! It seems that the Qianyuan Sect is going to have another genius!"

After hearing this, Qin Tian also felt the same way.

After all, who would have thought that a mere eight or nine-year-old child could have such a talent? He really deserves to be called a monster.

Just at this moment, there was another noise from the crowd.

I saw that the old man with white eyebrows had stood up at some point and walked straight to the child. He was looking at him with gleaming eyes, which made the child feel terrified and scared.

"Don't be afraid little baby, what's your name?"

The old man asked with a kind face, and his tone was quite gentle. He looked like a grandfather next door.

"My...my name is Wu Xun."

The immature child replied crisply.

"Yes, yes, this little friend Wu Xun, would you like to join me?"

Seeing this scene, before the child could agree, Nangong Yingjun was already sighing:

"Sure enough, people are so irritating! This talent and good treatment are different. Even the ancestor of Jindan wants to accept him as his disciple!"

The child, who was young and inexperienced, was about to agree when he saw this.

"I wish...!"

However, before he finished speaking, a loud shout suddenly came from mid-air:

"Wait!"

After hearing this, everyone turned around and looked curiously.

I saw the thick fog behind the stone monument, and suddenly a middle-aged monk figure flew out. Looking at this man, he was wearing a brocade robe, with big sleeves fluttering, and his face looked very majestic.

And it did not control the flying sword, but flew across the void with only its physical body. After arriving at the scene, a huge coercion was released inadvertently, and everyone in the scene turned pale.

Then his figure flashed, and he was already standing in front of the child, his eyes gleaming with strange light as he kept looking at him.

At the same time, the group of white-robed disciples who had originally looked arrogant knelt down on one knee in unison:

"See the master!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard the words, and immediately there was another round of discussion, making the scene even more noisy.

Only Nangong Yingjun looked dull:

"It's actually Master Yunyin of the Qianyuan Sect, a master of the late Jindan period. This is a supreme leader! Even he was alarmed!"

As soon as these words came out, Qin Tian was shocked and numb.

"Wu Xun, I am the head of the Qianyuan Sect. Are you willing to become my disciple?"

As soon as the head of Yunyin finished speaking, the old man with white eyebrows could not help but question:

"Headmaster, I was the first to discover this kid. Isn't it a bit against the rules for you to do this?"

Hearing this, Yunyin Zhenren looked at the white-browed Zhenren with sharp eyes, and said in a slightly solemn tone:

"Junior brother Yunze, please be patient. This boy has a rare talent and is related to the future of our Qianyuan Sect. I hope you can put the overall situation first."

As the head of the sect said this, it was difficult for Zhenren Yunze to refute it.

Moreover, his status as the head of the sect was enough to mobilize more resources of the sect, which was obviously more suitable for cultivating this boy.

Therefore, Zhenren Yunze did not say much, but his face was gloomy, and he left directly, and he didn't even care about the matter of recruiting disciples.

Seeing this scene, Zhenren Yunyin did not change his expression, turned around and continued to look at Wu Xun, obviously waiting for his answer.

"Master, please accept my disciple's greeting!"

Wu Xun was quite smart and immediately bowed to the ground.

Seeing this situation, Yunyin Zhenren also showed a rare smile, and said with a pleasant face:

"You stand up and stand aside first. When I preside over the matter of recruiting disciples, I will take you back to the mountain."

Wu Xun heard this and responded respectfully, then stepped aside, while Yunyin Zhenren walked to the master's chair and sat down, and then the test continued.

More than half an hour passed, and at this time, only Nangong Yingjun, Qin Tian and Zeng Daniu were left in the field.

In this test, no accidents occurred, and the best one was only a double spiritual root, a beautiful girl named Chen Ziqi.

Just at this time, Nangong Yingjun tidied his clothes and walked forward with a chic gait.

That kind of show-off demeanor really made many people secretly feel disgusted.

The white-robed disciple looked through the mirror, and a red and green beam of light suddenly appeared.

"Fire and wood dual spiritual roots, qualified"

Nangong Yingjun heard this, but he was not surprised at all. He seemed to have known the result, and walked towards the qualified disciple area with a proud look.

Those who didn't know him would think he was another genius.

When it was Qin Tian's turn, he didn't need to tidy up his clothes. After all, he was wearing a beggar's outfit, so there was no need to tidy up.

As Qin Tian walked forward slowly, everyone saw that it was the "beggar" boy, and they almost lost interest in an instant. They were all busy with their own things and ignored him.

When he walked to the white-robed disciple, Qin Tian didn't show any expression on the surface, but he couldn't avoid feeling nervous in his heart.

After all, this test will determine his fate!

Although Qin Tian has a guiding gold medal in his hand, as long as he has spiritual roots, he can directly enter the door, but who doesn't want to have better talent and go further on the road of cultivation in the future?

Soon, as the white-robed disciple looked through the mirror, he saw a gray beam of light rising into the sky. Its momentum was no less than that of Wu Xun.

Qin Tian was petrified on the spot when he saw this............
