Cloud City.
People were coming and going at the city gate, and ox carts were slowly entering the city.
As soon as you enter the city, you are overwhelmed by the hustle and bustle, and the atmosphere is full of life.
The oxcart headed towards the center of the city. Cheng Xiaoxiao saw stalls lined up on both sides of the street, selling techniques, pills, weapons, and medicinal herbs...
There were many people on the street. There was a man holding a long sword, followed by several servants. He looked very impressive.
The ox cart continued to move forward, and a woman in red clothes was seen, with a swaying figure and lotus-like steps. She was truly a charming woman.
When the ox cart passed by the woman, Cheng Xiaoxiao tilted her head to see what she looked like, but unfortunately she was wearing a red veil. She could only shake her head regretfully, as she must have been very beautiful.
Soon, the group arrived at the place where the ox cart was stored. Cheng Xiaoxiao thanked Li Da and said goodbye.
From the conversations of the people around her, Cheng Xiaoxiao learned that the disciple-recruiting conference was held in the city center.
She followed the crowd.
In the center of Yuncheng, there is an open space that can accommodate tens of thousands of people. In the middle of the open space is a martial arts stage with ninety-nine steps.
With the martial arts arena as the center, the open space was filled with people who wanted to enter the sect. At a glance, there were only densely packed heads.
Suddenly, a sound of breaking through the air was heard!
A white-bearded old man landed in the center of the martial arts arena, followed by two young men dressed in green clothes and wearing green belts embroidered with white auspicious clouds around their waists. They carried a crystal clear oval stone and placed it in the center of the martial arts arena.
"Everyone, first of all, welcome to the sect's triennial disciple recruitment conference. The sect looks forward to the participation of all talented people. Anyone aged 15 to 25 can come up and test their talent."
Then the old man pointed to the stone behind him.
"This is a test spirit stone. Red represents fire spirit roots, green represents wood spirit roots, brown represents earth spirit roots, blue represents water spirit roots, gold represents gold spirit roots, and purple represents thunder spirit roots..."
The brighter the light, the stronger the talent. Now the disciple recruitment meeting begins!"
Although she was at a certain distance from the old man, Cheng Xiaoxiao felt as if the voice was ringing right next to her ears.
As soon as the old man finished speaking, he disappeared.
At this moment the crowd suddenly became agitated.
A young man holding a sword jumped onto the platform.
Cheng Xiaoxiao discovered that the young man was the one she had seen on the street before.
The young man placed his hand on the spirit-testing stone, and the stone suddenly lit up with a huge golden beam of light. The dazzling light caused the onlookers to exclaim in surprise.
"It's a gold spiritual root, the most aggressive gold spiritual root!"
"The light of the test spirit stone is so dazzling, I think this boy has great talent."
"Look, isn't that the young master of the Li family? He spends all day teasing cats and dogs in Yuncheng. I didn't expect he has top-notch talent. He's worthy of being the heir to a great family!"
"Hey! It really is the young master of the Li family. Isn't he said to be an unlearned and unskillful person?"
…
"Sure enough, the first person to go up still has some reliance."
Soon, the young master of the Li family was taken away by the admissions officer.
Another girl of about seventeen or eighteen came up on the stage, with a soft and cute face that made people want to move over.
The spirit-testing stone emitted a red beam of light that was neither too big nor too small.
Cheng Xiaoxiao didn't expect that such a cute-looking girl actually had a fire spiritual root, which is the most violent spiritual root.
People gradually came up to the stage, and the spirit stones continued to emit light. Some were happy, some were proud, and some were dejected. Everyone's joys and sorrows were different...
About half an hour later...
Cheng Xiaoxiao finally set foot on the road leading to the martial arts arena, of course she went up step by step.
A burst of shrill laughter broke out from the crowd...
"No way? She has to climb up stairs like this, doesn't she even have any spiritual power? Hahaha!"
"A ten-year-old can leap onto the martial arts stage in just a few steps. Could she be a useless spiritual root?"
"Hey~ Better get off! Don't embarrass yourself!"
Cheng Xiaoxiao seemed to be deaf to the ridicule of the crowd, and just walked towards the martial arts stage step by step.
She has lived in such an environment all the time since she was a child, and has become a little numb to it. If she cared about these things, she would have become something else long ago.
Life is hard enough, she just wants to survive, and probably doesn’t care about anything else, nor can she care!
A few minutes later, Cheng Xiaoxiao climbed up the martial arts stage panting and arrived in front of the spirit stone.
The crowd behind me either taunted, laughed at, questioned, or cursed...
Cheng Xiaoxiao turned a deaf ear to all this. She raised her hand and pressed the test spirit stone herself.
It felt cool to the touch, and Cheng Xiaoxiao felt something stirring inside her body, and her palms began to feel hot.
The Spirit Test Stone emitted a dazzling light, but this light was multicolored...
At this moment, all the ridicule and mockery from the audience disappeared, and they looked as ridiculous as chickens with their necks strangled.
The elders of each sect who were responsible for recruiting disciples reacted obviously faster, and they all wanted to snatch people away.
Suddenly, a sound of breaking through the air was heard!
"call out!"
A figure flew across the sky above the martial arts arena, and with a wave of his sleeves, Cheng Xiaoxiao disappeared...
The elders of each sect said: "Who is so shameless? How dare you snatch food from a tiger's mouth!"
They all turned into streams of light and chased after him, with the sound of whooshing being endless.
The audience in the audience also came to their senses at this time, and then burst into exclamations:
"What…what is that? Am I dazzled?"
"A genius in all fields! A genius in all fields!"
"Oh my god! If she joins a certain sect, won't that sect steal the show in the five-yearly competition?"
