At this time, four large pure white stone screens were lined up side by side at the open mountain entrance.
There are also three monks in blue robes standing next to each stone screen. They maintain the order of the queues in front of the stone screen.
He Yue handed over the Sheng baby in his arms to the monks who came to greet him, "Junior Brother Xinxin took this child to the kindergarten to take care of him. This child's name is Yun Sheng and he comes from Gujing Village."
"Senior sister, don't worry. There will be many young children this year. The kindergarten administrator has recruited manpower and will take good care of them."
Every time I accept a disciple, I bring back many babies who are just born and cannot take care of themselves yet.
Therefore, the Xuanling Sect set up a kindergarten to take care of them uniformly, and registered their names and whereabouts until they reached the age of five, and then made other arrangements after their spiritual roots were tested.
Lin Fei took Yun Ling and the others to the queue in front of the third stone screen, told them to queue up and wait for the spiritual root test, and then went to greet the fellow disciples who had escorted the children.
Most of the children queuing up in front of the stone screens on the first and second sides were brightly dressed and all of them were pretty and handsome.
Compared with the children in front of the stone screen on the third and fourth sides, they are completely different.
The children also felt the gap and started whispering.
"Look over there, they seem to be different from us." A child from the third team said.
"Yes, they all look good and their clothes are nice too."
"The uncle who gave them to me said that they are children from various cultivating families, unlike us who were chosen from the secular world."
"Yeah, the fairy sister who gave it to me said the same thing, and said that I will be so good-looking in the future." A young girl nodded cutely and said.
"Huh, bumpkin." Apparently the people in the second team also heard the conversation, and one of them, a pretty little girl, snorted coldly.
She rolled her eyes at the people in the third team, full of contempt.
Several people who were discussing in low voices blushed and stopped talking.
They have just come into contact with the world of cultivation and are curious about everything, but they don't want to appear too country-like and make others look down on them.
After several more waves of monks and children were welcomed, the clouds and mist dispersed in the middle of the mountain gate, revealing several steps. A middle-aged male monk stood on them in the distance holding a book.
"Dear friends, today is another auspicious day for our Xuanling Sect to recruit more disciples every fifteen years. Thanks to the legacy of our ancestors who founded the sect, there are about two thousand new disciples this time. This is the way of heaven for our Xuanling Sect.
Zong’s gift!”
Although the male cultivator was far away, his voice was loud and his words were clearly audible, as if he were right next to his ears.
It is indeed a fairy trick! Yun Ling admired in his heart.
"Some disciples have already entered the immortal path and already know their spiritual roots. More new disciples still don't know their own spiritual roots. Today, our sect will re-test. The seven-color spiritual test stone can only know whether you have immortal talents, but the ones in front of you are
These four large stone screens are called truth-testing spiritual stones, which can detect your spiritual roots."
The male cultivator paused for a moment, then continued: "Each disciple stepped forward in turn and placed their palms on the stone screen. The stone screen will automatically reveal the images of the spiritual roots of each of you. After testing the spiritual roots, each of you will
Friends wear the talisman of our sect to participate in the trial, and those with the best results in the trial will have the opportunity to be accepted by the sect master under the Five Peaks and become disciples, and may even become direct disciples. I hope you will work hard!"
After saying nothing, the male cultivator fled into the clouds and mist on the mountain steps and disappeared.
As soon as the spiritual root test started, exclamations of surprise were heard from time to time in front of the stone screens of the first team and the second team.
"Two spiritual roots of water and earth!"
"Gold and Water Twin Spiritual Roots!"
"Heavenly Fire Spiritual Root!"
The exclamations coming from the first and second teams made all the children in the third and fourth teams look at each other.
They were all selected from villages and towns near Xuanling Mountain and did not understand the meaning of their words.
Seeing that these children knew nothing, a middle-aged monk smiled heartily and patiently explained it to them.
It turns out that what people who cultivate immortality care about most is their spiritual root qualifications, which depend on the attributes of the five elements - metal, wood, water, fire and earth.
Among them, the single-line spiritual roots are the heavenly spiritual roots, and the wind, ice, thunder and other strange spiritual roots derived from the mutated spiritual roots are extremely good qualifications. When practicing, you will get twice the result with half the effort, and your journey to immortality will be smooth.
Most of the monks who possess this spiritual root will eventually become extremely talented people and be praised by the world.
Secondly, the double spiritual root is also called the earth spiritual root, which is composed of two attributes of the five elements and is also a good qualification.
If there are two spiritual roots that complement each other, such as water and wood spiritual roots, the speed of cultivation is also extremely fast, only slightly slower than that of a single spiritual root.
But there are also cases, such as water and fire spiritual roots. If either the water spiritual root or the fire spiritual root is stronger, that's okay. You can choose the method with the stronger spiritual root attribute.
It would be a pity if the unfortunate thing is that the two competing spiritual roots are perfectly balanced.
Because it is necessary to overcome the conflict between spiritual roots, the speed of cultivation is slow and it is very difficult to advance in cultivation.
However, such spiritual roots are very rare. Most of them have died before they were born, and it is difficult to find even one of the 10,000 monks with dual spiritual roots.
The three spiritual roots are composed of three attributes in the five elements, and can only be described as ordinary qualifications.
But if it is a three-talent spiritual root, such as the three spiritual roots composed of water, wood, and earth, that is also good. When it comes to suitable exercises, its cultivation speed is not much faster than ordinary dual spiritual roots.
There is a Yuanying monk in Xuanling Sect who has this kind of spiritual root.
Very few monks with Four Spiritual Roots and Five Spiritual Roots successfully form elixirs in the end. Unless there is a great opportunity, the path to cultivation is very difficult, and most of them can only become handyman disciples in the Xuanling Sect.
But from the moment they step on the path to immortality, monks compete with God for their fate and will not give up and return to the earthly world.
If God is merciful and grants great opportunities, it is possible to obtain rare treasures or magical elixirs and achieve immortality in one step.
As time passed, when it was their turn, half of them had already put on their spiritual talismans and stepped onto the mountain steps to participate in the trial.
The two brothers Song Xiaohai and Song Xiaoyu both have ordinary five spiritual roots, while Lu Ziqian and Yun Jin have three spiritual roots.
When Yun Ling placed the palm of his hand on the center of the stone screen, the entire stone screen emitted a dazzling azure light, which was different from the five colors of gold, green, blue, red, and black corresponding to gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.
"This - this is the wind spirit root!"
While she was feeling uneasy, she heard the exclamations of several monks beside the stone screen.
These monks had never been so arrogant before when single-line spiritual roots appeared. In fact, although single-line spiritual roots were rare, there could only be a few disciples each time.
The alien spiritual roots are even rarer than the heavenly spiritual roots.
In the past hundred years, the eight sects have accepted no more than ten disciples with different spiritual roots, all of whom came from the cultivation family.
It is even more surprising that this little girl comes from the ordinary world, but has such spiritual roots.
Several monks nearby moved their fingers slightly, and messenger talismans flew into the mountain gate, announcing the news.
"Junior sister, this is your jade talisman, don't lose it."
The monk responsible for recording spiritual roots had a cute baby face and smiled at her, showing his white teeth.
"Thanks."
Yun Ling didn't know what to call the person, so after taking the jade talisman, he politely thanked the person for his kindness.
Lin Fei led Yun Ling and others towards the mountain gate.
This time, he was lucky enough to be able to find a disciple of the alien spirit root, which meant that he and Senior Sister He Yue could get a lot of sect rewards.
He was in a very comfortable mood. He changed from being taciturn and reminded these young disciples, "The trial in the mountains is just a test of your character. The elders in the sect choose disciples not only based on their spiritual qualifications, but also on your abilities."
Mind. After entering the test, even monks who have practiced will become ordinary mortals. Everyone walks a certain distance alone. The older you are, the more difficult it is. The younger you are, the easier it is to pass. Whatever you encounter on the road is an illusion.
There’s no need to be afraid and just keep going.”
Yun Ling held Yun Jin's hand and whispered: "Jin'er, don't be afraid. My sister is waiting for you at the end of the road. You can see her when you finish walking."
She followed the others up the mountain steps.
In the blink of an eye, you are on a narrow path.
There was no trace of anyone else around, she was alone.
The road is narrow and slender, and the end is hidden in the mist in the distance, making it difficult to see clearly.
Various types of vegetation grow on both sides of the path. At this time, the vegetation and flowers are in full bloom, with bright colors and fragrant fragrance. Many colorful butterflies walk through it like a fairyland, attracting people to stop and linger.
She crossed the path easily, but after taking a few steps forward, the scene suddenly changed.
The wonderland turned into a sun-scorched desert.
When you look up, you see endless yellow sand in front of you, and when you look back, you see flying dust, which makes you feel uneasy.
Yun Ling kept in mind what Lin Fei said, that the road to trial was all an illusion, and walked straight forward...
The front mountain gate is very lively, and the Tianxuan Terrace above the five peaks inside the mountain gate is also bustling with people.
At this time, the dozens of Jindan Daoist people surrounding the Tianxuan Platform no longer had the image of floating out of the dust in the past, and there were not a few who were blowing their beards and staring.
This is all because among the new disciples this time, those with outstanding performance will appear in the jade mirror on the Tianxuan stage one by one, and they all want to include the disciples with good qualifications under their respective peaks.
"Masters and uncles do this every time they choose apprentices, so they don't get tired!"
The disciples of the various masters in the distance had already become accustomed to the strangeness, looking at each other, laughing and chatting quietly.
"This disciple has a good character and is suitable for me at Xunyang Peak. I want it!" A male cultivator pointed at the first disciple in the mirror who walked out of the trial and said.
"Hmph, what is it about a good character? It's obvious that you saw that his spiritual talisman is the Heavenly Fire Spirit Root! With such good qualifications, he should join our Xuanqing Peak! Brother head, do you think so or not?" Nan Jin of Xuanqing Peak
The real person spoke.
"I believe that the head junior brother will deal with it impartially! If any of the new disciples this time have Heavenly Gold Spiritual Roots, will you, Xuanqing Peak, also accept them?"
"The Tianjin Spiritual Root naturally belongs to me, Liuguang Peak. Why are you, Xunyang Peak and Xuanqing Peak, joining in the fun?" Master Qianjing of Liuguang Peak was not to be outdone.
The current head of the Xuanling Sect—Nanyang Zhenren’s eyes twitched.
Whenever the sect accepts disciples, these fellow disciples will quarrel endlessly, without any regard for the friendship between fellow disciples.
It's really a headache to ask him to judge every time there is an argument.
But who made him the leader?
Master Nanyang reluctantly said something he would repeat every fifteen years: "Brothers and sisters, if you encounter disciples who can't decide where to go, the sect rules say they can make their own choice!"
Why fight? The rules of our ancestors are still there!
