First they had the food and, of course, wine. When they had almost finished the food on the table, they started to eat hot pot with the beef bone soup that had been sitting on the stove.
In the middle, Shen Yizi added dishes several times.
In the end, Shen Xing was drunk.
Master Xuan Chong looked drunk, but actually his mind was still clear. He picked up Shen Xing and threw something to Shen Yizhi, "Keep this thing for fun." Then he left with his men.
Shen Yizi took it and found that it was a wooden hairpin. The style looked simple and neutral, and could be worn by both men and women.
The wooden hairpin looked ordinary, but her master wouldn't really give her an ordinary wooden hairpin, right? Shen Yizhi dripped blood on the wooden hairpin to recognize its master, and found that the wooden hairpin, which did not reveal any spiritual energy, was actually a magic weapon. As for its specific level, she had no way of judging.
She also used her spiritual consciousness to imprint her own spiritual consciousness inside the wooden hairpin. In this way, as long as she did not die, or met someone with spiritual consciousness far superior to hers, the wooden hairpin would belong only to her.
The moment the divine imprint fell, a stream of information flooded into her mind, about the wooden hairpin.
It turns out that this wooden hairpin is called the Phantom Hairpin, and it has only one function, which is to conceal the true gender of its owner!
Shen Yizhi was shocked, and almost immediately realized that Xuan Chong knew about it! However, instead of exposing her, he accepted her as his disciple and gave her the Phantom Hairpin to help her continue to cover up.
At this moment, Shen Yizhi truly regarded Master Xuan Chong as his master.
She immediately inserted the phantom hairpin into her hair.
Looking at herself in the mirror, she thought to herself that from now on she was Mo Qing, the disciple of Xuan Chong Zhenren of Hulu Peak. Before she became truly powerful, the woman's identity must not be revealed.
After breakfast the next day, Shen Xing first took Shen Yizhi to register her identity and got the identity token. With the identity token, she truly became a member of Yuxiao Sect.
Within the sect, one needs to use the identity jade card to enter and exit the mountain protection formation, accept missions, enter the library to select martial arts, etc. Since Shen Yizi is a disciple of Master Xuan Chong, he is treated as a true disciple as soon as he enters the sect, and the jade card he got is also engraved with spiritual jade.
There is also a small spirit gathering array carved on it, which can be worn on the body at all times to help with cultivation.
From this we can see the foundation of the major sects.
In addition, a sum of contribution points has been deposited into the jade token. Contribution points are the currency in the sect, and one can use contribution points to buy some rare items in the Treasure Pavilion that are not available outside.
Following Shen Xing's instructions, Shen Yizhi put a drop of blood into the jade token, and the words "Hulu Peak, Mo Qing" appeared on the jade token.
"Let's go, let's go sign up for the assessment."
The assessment is divided into three competition areas: Qi Refining Stage, Foundation Building Stage, and Golden Core Stage.
The two of them naturally went to the Foundation Establishment Stage competition area. After registering, they each received a wooden sign representing the order of appearance.
The assessment will officially begin three days later.
During these three days, some people took advantage of the time to practice, hoping to get a good ranking in the assessment so that they could be included in the secret realm's accompanying list. Some were busy replenishing their equipment and elixirs, while some simply did nothing.
Shen Yizhi was taken by Shen Xing on a tour of the sect to familiarize himself with the environment.
Three days passed quickly, and all the participants gathered in the white jade square in front of the main hall of the main peak.
Shen Yizi had originally made various guesses about the assessment method, but he never expected that the Yuxiao Sect's assessment would be so simple and crude. It directly activated the mirror formation in the square, and in an instant, everyone entered the virtual mirror world.
The whole world was empty; the sky and the ground were the same color. When I stepped on the ground, it felt like ripples on the water, as if I was standing on a layer of solidified lake.
Shen Yizi looked around and suddenly heard a noise behind her. She turned around abruptly and was startled.
There was another her in front of me.
The face, height, cultivation, and even the weapons, everything is exactly the same as hers.
I think this is her mirror image. What she has to do is to defeat "herself" and get out of here! If the opponent is someone else, then Shen Yizhi has a great chance of defeating the opponent, but the opponent is herself, and the opponent knows all her moves. How can she fight? The mirror array, to put it bluntly, is actually a large illusion array. At this moment, all the contestants were pulled into the array.
All fights take place in the contestants' minds, which effectively avoids casualties and saves time and effort, as there is no need to go through the trouble of preparing a separate venue and arranging the order of the competition.
In the center of the main hall, the sect leader and several elders sat in their seats, their eyes fixed on the huge water mirror in the middle.
What is displayed on the water mirror is the scene in the illusion.
It is naturally impossible for a water mirror to show everyone, so the images on the water mirror are constantly changing. Only when encountering those disciples who are more interesting will people in the hall take a closer look.
Master Xuan Chong had never appeared in such an occasion before, but he came this time. After all, his two disciples were taking the assessment, and it would be unreasonable for him, as their master, not to show up and express his concern.
His appearance startled the others. When they learned that he was here to see his two disciples, Sect Leader Xiao immediately waved his hand with a smile and called out the scene of Shen Xing and Shen Yizhizi in the illusion.
The water mirror was divided into two, with Shen Xing and Shen Yizhi each occupying half.
At first, no one took it seriously, but after watching for a while, they discovered that the two disciples accepted by Master Xuan Chong were not simple at all.
The third elder asked, "Your little disciple is very good at using the sword. Could it be that he is also a sword cultivator like your eldest disciple?"
Xuan Chong took a sip of wine and smacked his lips. "I don't know. I only know that the dishes she cooks are really delicious, and the wine she brews is not bad either."
The third elder was speechless for a moment.
Until the end, no one could figure out what kind of spiritual roots Shen Yizi had.
At this time, Xuan Chong calmly revealed the truth: "It's nothing, this child just has a healing spirit."
A cultivator who can heal spiritual roots is equivalent to a doctor in the secular world in the world of immortal cultivation. The higher the level of cultivation, the stronger the healing ability.
Among the cultivators in this world of immortality, who can guarantee that they will never get hurt? Ordinary injuries can be healed with pills or meditation, but those difficult injuries, such as blocked meridians, injured consciousness, damaged dantian, and other injuries that the cultivators cannot repair themselves, require the help of healing cultivators.
However, healing spiritual roots are extremely rare, and one may appear in a thousand years. So once one appears, it is like a national treasure in the world of immortal cultivation. Everyone will unite to protect him (her) and not let it perish.
