Qi Yu stood in the crowd. Some people around her had heard her conversation with Yan Shi and secretly moved away from her.
"Five spiritual roots..."
"He has truly brought shame upon himself."
The familiar words reached her ears, exactly the same as the ridicule she had received at the Spirit Academy.
But she didn't care too much. She had become desensitized to such comments after hearing them so many times. She leisurely played with the hairpin that brushed against the railing in the spring breeze and continued to watch the people queuing up to have their spiritual roots tested.
For ordinary people taking the spiritual root test for the first time, if their spiritual root is five or above, they have successfully entered the Flying Star Sect. After receiving a plaque engraved with their name and spiritual root, they are led by several senior sisters to another small peak where they are selected by the elders.
Being chosen by the elders as their personal disciple and receiving their individual guidance in cultivation means you've truly embarked on the path to immortality.
The other disciples who were not chosen and had poor aptitude became outer disciples of the Flying Star Sect, doing odd jobs, but they were free to choose to listen to the elders' public lectures.
Of course, these less talented disciples might not benefit much even if they listened to the elders' "open classes".
After all, in the world of cultivation, talent determines one's potential.
Those high-profile members of the royal family lined up in the same queue and all tested positive for a single spiritual root, presumably due to the influence of their divine beast bloodline.
Dog Egg also has a single fire elemental root.
The last one to be tested was Bai Zilin, who arrogantly slapped his hand on the spirit-testing stone.
"Do I even need to test it? It must be a golden spiritual root!"
The senior brother in front of him knew his identity and looked at the two beams of light converging on the spirit-testing stone with some hesitation.
Long Ying peeked at the spirit-testing stone and burst out laughing, "Bai Zilin, how come you have a Golden Fire Spirit Root?!"
"What?!" Bai Zilin looked down at the spirit-testing stone in a panic, and sure enough, it was a golden and a red light.
"How is this possible! How could I, a descendant of the divine beast White Tiger, have a Golden Fire Spiritual Root?!"
He was so anxious and angry that he even forgot to refer to himself as "I am alone" as he usually does.
Long Ying's gaze was subtle as he said, "Could it be that your bloodline is impure?"
The other members of the royal family also changed their expressions and began to look Bai Zilin up and down.
Bai Zilin's face turned bright red.
All the descendants of divine beasts will have spiritual roots that are always the five elements of the divine beast, without ever being wrong. Therefore, when he was in the palace, he never had the idea of testing his spiritual roots.
Who would have thought!
"Impossible! There must be something wrong with your spirit-testing stone!"
Bai Zilin suddenly picked up the spirit-testing stone on the table and slammed it to the ground.
The senior brother groaned twice, looking at the shattered spirit-testing stone on the ground, feeling utterly devastated.
Although there are still doubts about whether Bai Zilin's bloodline is pure, he is still the official prince of the White Tiger Kingdom, and a mere disciple like him is someone that cannot be offended.
No one dared to speak for a moment, and they remained silent as they watched the furious Bai Zilin.
A burly figure shoved the senior brother aside, picked up Bai Zilin like a chick, and gave him a warning look.
"This is not your White Tiger Kingdom, so don't be so presumptuous."
"If you're going to cause any more trouble, you might as well go back to being a prince."
Bai Zilin, who had been shouting and making a ruckus just moments before, was immediately frightened into silence by Venerable Canglang and became as quiet as a chicken.
Just kidding, Xu Canglang's fist was almost bigger than his head when he clenched it, so how could he dare to say another word?
Long Ying smiled and said, "Venerable Canglang, put him down. I think he's going to wet his pants in fear."
Qi Yu, who was watching, couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Venerable Canglang looked at her with ill intent. Qi Yu quickly straightened up and pretended to be very serious, as if she wasn't the one who had just been laughing.
"Alright. If you want to come to the Flying Star Sect, you'd better put down your airs as a prince or princess. In the Flying Star Sect, you only have two identities: a master or a disciple."
Bai Zilin nodded obediently, not daring to refute.
Venerable Canglang then placed him on the ground and turned to leave.
"continue."
Then everyone returned to their positions.
Bai Zilin dared not speak again, and angrily walked to get the sign while enduring the different gazes of the others.
Another hour passed, and everyone had finished testing their spiritual roots.
Those who have not yet cultivated and are considered "pure novices" pass the test and become disciples of the Flying Star Sect.
The remaining approximately six hundred cultivators, including Qi Yu, who were "new but not so new," gathered in the square of Xingke Peak, quietly awaiting the final test.
After about half a cup of tea's time, Venerable Canglang came over, accompanied by a man and a woman.
The three walked to the front of the crowd. Venerable Canglang pointed to the young man on his right and said, "This is Venerable Zhishou of Hoshizaki Peak."
He then pointed to the woman in red on his left, "This is the Red Lotus Fairy of Danxin Peak."
Everyone bowed respectfully.
"Greetings, Venerable Zhichou, and Fairy Honglian."
Venerable Canglang said with a stern face, "Those who are willing to travel thousands of miles to Feixing Sect must also be people who are determined to seek immortality and ask questions. Feixing Sect welcomes you, but if you want to join Feixing Sect, you need to participate in the last secret realm trial so that Feixing Sect can see if your Dao heart is firm."
"The secret realm trial was personally arranged by the sect leader. It contains many demonic beasts captured by the disciples. The test method is to hunt demonic beasts. Each type of demonic beast can be converted into different points. Those who have the highest total points in the top four-fifths will pass the test."
"The cultivation level of those who enter the secret realm will be either lowered or raised to the Foundation Establishment stage. The Flying Star Sect will provide weapons, and you may each choose a weapon that you are good at. You may not use your own weapons."
"The assessment will last for three days. During this period, you may act alone or form your own teams, with a maximum of three people per team. The points earned from hunting monsters will be divided equally at the end."
