Chapter 3: Three Sect Examinations (Part 1)
Except for the fire-type single spiritual roots and the wind spiritual roots that appeared at the beginning, those who followed were either miscellaneous spiritual roots or useless spiritual roots, and even double spiritual roots were very few.
Zhou Tanzhi looked at the large number of crosses on the roster and couldn't help but wonder if he could recruit enough disciples this time.
"Next, Tian Qiqi!"
Zhou Tanzhi turned the page and read out loud the first person on the page.
"Tian Qiqi, are you here?"
Everyone below is looking at me and others, who is this Tian Qiqi? Why don't you go and test your spiritual roots?
After a while, no one agreed. Just as Zhou Tanzhi was about to cross out this line, a petite figure squeezed out from the crowd, ran up and apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry, senior brother, there were too many people in front of me, and I accidentally fell asleep."
."
Zhou Tanzhi: "..." Before he even started, he called him senior brother.
However, seeing that the little girl is sincere and sweet-talking, I won’t argue with her.
Zhou Tanzhi: "Put your right hand on the spiritual stone and feel it with your heart."
Tian Qiqi obeyed obediently, and after waiting for a moment, the spirit-detecting stone seemed to be asleep, without any movement at all.
"It seems that there is no spiritual root left..." The little girl felt a little depressed and pulled away her hand to get ready to go.
The originally dead spirit-detecting stone suddenly emitted a burst of green light, and the little girl's eyes suddenly lit up into starry eyes.
She has spiritual roots!
"Tian Qiqi, Mu Linggen!" Fu Zhu reported dutifully.
Later, several more single and double spiritual roots were detected, and Zhou Tanzhi's mood finally improved. He stared at the last two names on the book and took a long breath.
"Next, Zhou Zhao!"
When all the flowers had withered, Zhou Zhao stood up from the ground with a shudder, straightened his clothes and hair, and then walked slowly onto the soul-finding platform.
His family had tested his spiritual roots before, so he naturally knew the process, and without waiting for Zhou Tanzhi to say anything, he had already put his hand on the spiritual stone.
As expected, the spirit-testing stone emitted a golden light. Although it was a little dimmer than when he tested it at home, it was not much different.
"Zhou Zhao, golden spirit root!"
Zhou Tanzhi picked up his pen and made a mark for the gold spiritual root. His eyes fell on the name of the last tester, and he was a little surprised, "Little junior sister, her surname is also Fu!"
Fu Zhu casually glanced at the roster and withdrew his gaze, "Senior Brother Zhou, hurry up and start testing your spiritual roots. The sect test will begin soon."
Zhou Tanzhi also knew that he could no longer write ink, so he said loudly: "The last one, Fu Yu!"
The little girl with a hungry face walked timidly through the crowd, lowering her head all the way, and came to the spiritual stone.
She stepped up her feet and put one hand just on the edge of the spirit-detecting stone. The talisman beads looked in her eyes, and she made a secret and condensed into an ice stone.
"Test it by stepping on ice rocks."
Mi Tuo thanked her in a low voice, and finally she was able to touch the spirit stone by stepping on the ice stone. She wiped her right hand on her clothes, placed her palm completely on the spirit stone, and watched the changes of the spirit stone intently.
"Tian, Tianlinggen?" Zhou Tanzhi looked at the little girl in tattered clothes who looked like a little tabby cat in front of him, and his heart was not the slightest bit shocked.
How could such a good Tianlingen end up in such a miserable state?
However, he had seen strong winds and waves, so he quickly regained his composure and motioned to the little girl to go down and wait.
"This spiritual root test is over. There are a total of thirty-seven people who meet the requirements of the Sword Sect, namely Chen Hongjin, Zhu Qingyi... Fu Yu!"
"The rest of the people can rest on the mountain for one night and leave on their own the next day!"
After Zhou Tanzhi announced the results, he closed the list and said to Fu Zhu: "Little junior sister, I will go and give this list to the master uncle for review first, and you will be responsible for the next sect test."
"It's still the same as in previous years, test your spirit, understand your heart, and forge your sword."
Fu Zhu took the white jade sign and promised: "Senior brother, go with peace of mind, I promise to complete the task perfectly!"
The talisman bead injects a spiritual power into the white jade card. Thirty-seven streams of light emit from the white jade card and fall in front of everyone, turning into a round button.
"Measuring the spirit root is only the second threshold to enter the Sword Sect. If you want to become a true disciple of the Sword Sect, you must pass the three tests of soul selection, clear mind, and sword forging."
"Next, everyone will be transported to the Floating Light Realm and undergo a spirit selection test. The so-called spirit selection means that in the Floating Light Realm, everyone uses their own perception of the aura of heaven and earth to find spiritual herbs with similar spiritual root attributes to their own.
The limit for spiritual insects is one stick of incense. Only after finding ten spiritual plants can you pass this level and enter the next level."
"Of course, the more spiritual plants you are looking for, the better. After the assessment, the spiritual plants will belong to you. This can also be regarded as a reward for participating in the Sword Sect test!"
"The round buttons in everyone's hands can be crushed when they encounter danger or after they have found ten spiritual plants. If the round buttons are broken, the contestants will be sent back."
Fu Zhu read out the content of the first test loudly, and after making sure that everyone understood it, she activated the formation with both hands, and beams of white light flashed through, and everyone was sent away.
"Junior sister, please open the water realm a little wider. You can't even see clearly what's going on inside..."
The disciple of the Sword Sect who was speaking stepped on his feet and finally squeezed into the best observation point, only to be blocked by a head that blocked half of the water.
Fu Zhu had no choice but to activate his spiritual power to expand the water realm, and the scene inside the Floating Light Realm suddenly came into view.
“It looks much more comfortable this way!”
"The last time I went to the Floating Light Realm, the scenes inside were almost unrecognizable to me."
"When I took the Floating Light Realm assessment before, I met a little fire-type civet cat. I originally wanted to catch it as a pet, but unfortunately it was sent back forcibly when the time came. I don't know if the little civet cat is still in the Floating Light Realm.
It’s inside.”
"Junior sister, who do you think can win the first place in this level?"
"Yes, yes, junior sister, please tell me too."
Fu Zhu was surrounded by everyone talking about it, so she had no choice but to point to the water scene and express her opinion, "She should be the first in this level."
Someone disagreed and said: "Little junior sister, I believe you when you say that Chen Hongjin is number one. This little girl looks like she is about to fall after taking two steps. How can she have the potential to be number one!"
Fu Zhu: "She has a heavenly spiritual root. She has the highest affinity for attributes and is also the easiest to find spiritual plants that match her own attributes."
As soon as the Tianling Root came out, everyone fell silent.
Who makes Tianlinggen so unique?
Even if she doesn't take the initiative to find spiritual plants that match her attributes, there will be spiritual plants that take the initiative to find her.
"It's okay if the water spirit plant gets close to her. What does this little civet cat mean?"
The speaker pointed at the water realm, trembling with anger, thinking that when he deceived and abducted him, this little civet cat refused to go with him. Why is he acting coquettishly in front of a water spirit root now?
"Senior Brother Du, please relax. This is also a good thing. Maybe she will bring out the little civet cat that you miss so much."
Thinking of this, the anger in Duzhou's heart dissipated.
He has been thinking about this little civet cat for three years, but unfortunately he can't enter the Floating Light Realm. Now that someone encounters this little civet cat, he might be able to bring him out.
