Chapter 6 The hard-working apprenticeship ceremony
The next day, the sky was clear and clear, and it was a good day to accept a disciple.
In front of the main hall of Cuiluan Peak, Sun Chun, the leader, is in the middle. The elders of the peaks are on the left and right. The seven disciples who passed the customs yesterday are at the front, and the remaining thirty-seven prospective disciples who have passed the Heart Refining Formation but have not passed the customs are behind.
Stand neatly in the square in front of the main hall.
With so many important people coming forward in person, these future little sword seedlings who were very excited when they woke up in the morning all stood up straight, trying to make a good impression on the future masters and uncles.
The host is still Ming Yiqian.
"Let's start testing the spiritual roots now. Those whose names are called, come forward."
The disciple on the side helped open the roster: "Su Yuanliang."
The person whose name was called was among the last thirty-seven people. As the first person to be called, he was obviously very nervous.
Others, including Hua Wanzhao, also stared at him nervously.
Ming Yiqian said formulaically: "Put your hand on the spiritual stone in front of you."
Su Yuanliang hesitated for a moment, raised his hand and placed it on the jade-colored round sphere, nervously waiting for the result.
Almost at the same time, two golden-red lights, one long and one short, appeared in the spirit-detecting stone.
"The two spiritual roots of gold and fire, 90% gold and 88% fire, top grade."
Su Yuanliang looked happy.
This qualification is still very good, enough to become a direct disciple.
After the first demonstration, the subsequent 36 people quickly completed the test, some were happy and some were sad.
In addition to Su Yuanliang, who was the first to test, and produced high-grade double spiritual roots, there were also three double spiritual roots and one single spiritual root that came out later, but the quality was not as good as his.
The thirty-seven people who have completed the test will be taken away soon. They will stay at the Foreign Affairs Peak for three months. After three months, their destination will be decided based on their performance at the Foreign Affairs Peak.
Next is the test of the seven climbers.
The first person to be called was Ning Chenhao.
The moment he put his hand on the spirit-detecting ball, the spirit-detecting ball emitted a dazzling purple light, and the purple light even condensed into the shape of a sword in mid-air.
Seeing this scene, some Jiedan elders stood up excitedly.
Hua Wanzhao looked at this spectacular scene that was exactly the same as described in the novel, and thought to herself, as expected of the male protagonist, he has always been so earth-shattering.
Even the usually calm Ming Yiqian's voice was a little trembling: "Tianpin thunder root, innate sword body."
Except for Hua Wanzhao, who already knew the result, the other five people looked at Ning Chenhao with envy. Xun Ruoyan even forgot about her unhappiness last night and looked at Ning Chenhao with eyes full of admiration.
Several Yuanying elders who practiced swords were all moved when they saw Ning Chenhao's qualifications.
"Senior brother Fen Ying, how about accepting this disciple?" Mu Linxiao spoke first, "Senior brother, there are only three disciples in his sect. The first disciple has formed an elixir, and the second disciple just went down the mountain to travel some time ago. He is about the same age as Yi Qian, and both have sword skills.
If you are a good cultivator, you might as well practice together as a companion."
Zhong Hongzhuo, the master of Yanhui Peak who was very attracted to Ning Chenhao but was overtaken by Mu Linxiao and who was at odds with Mu Linxiao on a daily basis, stabbed: "If we talk about leisure, Junior Brother Yushi, your Yuexiu Peak is the most suitable, right?"
These Nascent Soul elders knew very well what was going on with Hua Wuzhu, and obviously couldn't use it as an excuse for not having time.
"But Senior Brother Shi Qing, Junior Brother, I already have other disciples that I want to accept, so I'd better ask Senior Brother Fen Ying to do your best if you can."
The conversations of the elders cannot be transmitted down below.
Hua Wanzhao was confused. Wasn't Ning Chenhao's ownership in the novel determined immediately? Why were they still discussing it after so long?
He secretly glanced at Ning Chenhao. He was standing in front of him politely, as if he didn't care which peak he would enter.
After about an hour of burning incense, Mu Linxiao defeated the other heroes. Under Mu Linxiao's urging eyes, Ming Shen stood up amidst the jealousy of other sword cultivators with the same name.
"I am the master of Woyun Peak, Ming Shen, and my Taoist name is Fenying. Are you willing to come under my sect?"
After a moment of silence, Ning Chenhao bowed and saluted: "Disciple Ning Chenhao, pay your respects to the master."
Hua Wanzhao was very surprised. Shouldn't Ning Chenhao be the master of Mu Linxiao? Could it be that because he recruited new people two years in advance, even the male protagonist's master was changed?
Mu Linxiao, who was sitting on it, could clearly see Hua Wanzhao's astonishment and Ning Chenhao's momentary hesitation.
After Ning Chenhao's affiliation was decided, the apprenticeship ceremony continued.
"Xun Ruoyan, top grade wind spirit root."
Another mutated spiritual root!
Not only the host Ming Yiqian, but also the elders at the top were also surprised. They did not expect to recruit two new people two years in advance and also received two mutant spiritual roots. This was really an unexpected surprise.
Xun Ruoyan had obviously done some homework before. When he heard that he was Fenglinggen, he glanced provocatively at Hua Wanzhao behind him.
Hua Wanzhao felt speechless. Did this girl regard herself as an imaginary enemy?
Zhuang Rongyu, the master of Fuguang Peak, one of the only two female Yuanying elders, stood up and said, "I, the master of Fuguang Peak, are you willing to worship me as your teacher?"
Xun Ruoyan was a little unwilling. She actually wanted to become a master with Ning Chenhao, so that she could get closer to the water and get the moon first.
But she is not stupid. She knows that Ming Shen has already accepted a disciple, and there is a high probability that he will not accept another disciple. And if she rejects this peak master, I am afraid that she will not be treated by other elders again.
"Disciple is willing."
The remaining four people did not have particularly outstanding qualifications, but because they were climbers, they also worshiped at each peak and became inner disciples.
Now, only Hua Wanzhao is left.
This person who has become their focus since last night, everyone is curious about her qualifications and which mountain she will join.
Hua Wanzhao put her hand on the spiritual stone like the others.
In the first three breaths, there was no change in the spiritual stone.
A gloating smile appeared on Xun Ruoyan's face: This person must not have no spiritual roots.
However, the peak masters knew that Hua Wanzhao had introduced Qi into his body, so it was impossible for him to have no spiritual roots.
However, this situation is indeed strange.
Suddenly, a rich blue color filled the entire spirit-detecting stone.
Ming Yiqian was stunned and looked up at the leader in the middle.
This spiritual root... is not easy to make public.
Just when Ming Yiqian was struggling, a blue light jumped into the air and formed a strange pattern in the air.
This should be some kind of totem, a symbol of some kind of innate body, but Ming Yiqian didn't recognize it, so he could only look at the leader for help.
A distant and ethereal voice came from the horizon: "This is the totem of the innate Qinglan Taoist body. It's normal that you don't recognize it."
Hearing this voice, everyone from the headmaster Sun Chun to Elder Jiedan stood up and saluted.
"Welcome to you, ancestor."
Among the new disciples, except Ning Chenhao, they saluted, while the others stared blankly at the newcomer.
The man who was respectfully called "Ancestor" by the sect leader and elders maintained the appearance of a young man, with a slender figure, a handsome appearance, a graceful appearance, a natural temperament, and a unique and beautiful appearance, unparalleled in the world.
"My Taoist name is Juyong. Are you willing to worship me as your teacher?"
Hua Wanzhao is like waking up from a dream: "Disciple Hua Wanzhao, pay homage to Master."
Changsun Chun felt bitter in his heart: This Patriarch Juyong is one of the three senior elders in the sect. This little girl worships Patriarch Juyong as her teacher, won’t they also call her Patriarch Juyong in the future?
The other elders also thought of this and lamented in their hearts.
Xun Ruoyan also heard what the elders said just now and realized that this heavenly being who suddenly appeared must be a very senior person in the sect. If such a person accepted Hua Wanzhao as his disciple, wouldn't she be better than him in the future?
How much shorter is the flower in the evening light?
Thinking of this, she shouted jealously: "Why can she worship the ancestor as her teacher if she comes through the back door?"
