The three looked at each other in bewilderment.

Four spiritual roots are normally useless spiritual roots, but with such high spiritual root values, it's a different story.

The three Foundation Establishment stage deacons were all at a loss as to why this year's miscellaneous disciples had caused so much trouble.

The three of them silently walked to a side hall.

"What do you mean?"

Although it's a headache, I still have to deal with it, but it's not as easy as dealing with the Qiu siblings.

"Should I recommend him to the inner sect?" Zuo Hanshan suggested.

“No, four spiritual roots are still considered useless spiritual roots no matter what. Even if their spiritual value is high, they probably won’t be able to establish a foundation.” Meng Yanqing disagreed.

"This requires finding suitable rare and precious materials to replenish her golden spiritual root. In terms of her spiritual value, that would be a heavenly spiritual root with all five elements, something that hasn't been seen in the entire cultivation world for many years."

"You yourself said that you need to find suitable rare and precious materials. Where can a little girl with no family background and only a Qi Refining stage find rare and precious materials? Moreover, they must be of the metal element and be able to be refined into spiritual roots. If it were that simple, all cultivators would have become Heavenly Spiritual Roots. Would the cultivation world still value single spiritual roots?"

The other two nodded in agreement. Although they had already reached the Foundation Establishment stage and had been cultivating in the sect for a long time, they themselves had no clue how to find such a treasure.

Without the strong support of powerful forces, this child probably wouldn't be able to establish his foundation.

"Then being a disciple of the outer sect or a registered disciple is also unsuitable. In her situation, she either soars to great heights or becomes just an ordinary menial disciple."

"As for the handyman disciple, let's see how things go."

The three deacons returned without saying much and continued taking samples.

Ah Jiang waited anxiously for a long time, worried that her secret would be discovered. Now that nothing had happened, she felt much more relaxed.

I had my spiritual roots tested when I was a child, and I had four spiritual roots. But my spiritual value seemed to be very low. This test is different from before.

A-Jiang touched his forehead, remembering the life essence that Bai Ze had given him.

"That sounds like something amazing."

Ajahn secretly guessed: Perhaps it could improve his spiritual value.

"But there's nothing we can do about spiritual roots; no one can create something out of nothing."

She smiled and followed the steward out of the side hall.

But she didn't expect that people can't create something out of nothing, and Bai Ze is a divine beast!

A-Jiang and the others were taken to a spacious courtyard called Changchun Courtyard.

They lined up in six rows, and each person was given a bag.

A middle-aged deacon stood on the steps and addressed the crowd:

"From today onwards, you are all members of my Azure Lotus Sect. Although you are only menial disciples, you can still cultivate. If you perform well, you can become a nominal disciple, an outer disciple, or even an inner disciple. One of our sect's grandmasters became a Nascent Soul cultivator from a menial disciple. So I hope you can persevere in your cultivation."

Hearing these words, everyone was greatly encouraged, especially those who already had great aspirations, who were deeply moved by what the deacon said.

"Now I'll go over the basics for beginners. Listen carefully, because if you violate them in the future, the punishment will be very severe."

So everyone perked up their ears and listened attentively.

"Anyone who betrays the sect and harms fellow disciples will have their cultivation stripped and will be imprisoned for life in the Demon Suppression Tower."

"Anyone found leaking important sect information will have their cultivation revoked and be forced to mine for fifty years."

“Anyone from other factions or ethnic groups who enters the sect by concealing their identity will have their cultivation abolished, their hands and feet broken, and be expelled from the sect.”

...

The introductory instructions had been going on for so long that Ah Jiang's legs were stiff from standing.
