"Brother Gu, this is a good start. I hope there will be more good talents in the future!" Uncle Zhao seemed to be in a good mood.

"That's the blessing of my uncle!" Gu Jia complimented with a smile.

There was also satisfaction in his eyes when he looked at Li Shiming. He did not expect Li Shiming to have the talent of single or double spiritual roots. That kind of talent was too rare.

In general, Li Shiming's talent is pretty good and he has met the requirements to join the Tianhai Sect, so he doesn't need to use the influence of Uncle Cui.

"Li Shiming, just help manage things with the two of them. Your strength is enough to suppress the newcomers!" Uncle Zhao instructed Li Shiming.

"Yes, senior!" Li Shiming bowed in response.

"Call me uncle-master now. You can become a formal disciple soon after you enter the sect!" After Uncle-master Zhao arranged Li Shiming's work, his attitude towards Li Shiming became much gentler.

"Thank you, Uncle Master!" Li Shiming bowed again.

He came to the two monks, and the two monks smiled and nodded when they saw that someone could help them.

"Li Shiming, let the next person in!" Uncle Zhao quickly gave Li Shiming's order.

When Li Shiming walked out of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, in addition to the soldiers of the New Guard, the eyes of hundreds of young men and women fell on him.

He was the first one to enter. Those who didn't understand the reason wanted to know what happened, while those who knew about the Ascension Conference wanted to know whether he passed.

"The first one in line comes in!" Li Shiming ignored the gazes and said to the young man in the front wearing a four-clawed golden dragon robe.

An inexplicable look flashed across the young man's eyes. He strode up the steps and examined him before entering the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests.

Li Shiming had no intention of guessing what the young man was thinking, so he followed him into the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests.

Without any nonsense, Uncle Zhao didn't even say a word. The cultivator next to Uncle Zhao ordered the young man to put his hand on the Lingbi.

"Age: 15 years and five months, with four spiritual roots of water, fire, earth and wood!" The cultivator said this, checked the height of the four beams of light, and then continued: "The quality of the spiritual roots has reached the standard, passed the test!"

A look of ecstasy appeared on the boy's face, but he quickly concealed it and instead showed an arrogant look.

"Next!" the monk said to Li Shiming.

Li Shiming went out again and called the second girl in palace dress.

The girl in palace dress had three spiritual roots and also passed the test.

After passing three tests in a row, Uncle Zhao nodded in satisfaction.

But he was not so lucky afterwards. Li Shiming no longer went in and out of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, but stood outside it.

When he hears the test is over, he will call in the next person.

The test is very fast and usually takes less than twenty seconds for each young boy or girl.

Moreover, under the pressure from the monks, no young man or woman dared to show any temper, and they all seemed to be exceptionally honest.

In the afternoon, the test was finally coming to an end.

Only then did Li Shiming realize how rare spiritual roots were. Among nearly four hundred young men and women, only thirteen had spiritual roots, and only five were finally selected.

In other words, after Li Shiming and the two young royal boys and girls, only two people passed the test of Tianhai Sect.

Although the other eight people have spiritual roots, their spiritual roots are either five spiritual roots or four spiritual roots, the quality is too poor to meet the requirements of Tianhai Sect.

Even so, Li Shiming looked at Uncle Zhao's expression and knew that he was very satisfied with the result.

Among the five people, the one with the best spiritual roots was the one with three spiritual roots. The imagined scene of people with single or two spiritual roots did not appear.

Li Shiming also got to know two cultivators, namely Senior Brother Ma who was at the fifth level of Qi Refining and Senior Brother Wu who was at the sixth level of Qi Refining.

According to what the two senior brothers said, they were just here to do odd jobs, and with Uncle Zhao around, no one would be so blind as to dare to provoke them.

Now Li Shiming is also one of the odd jobs, since it was Uncle Zhao who assigned him this task.

"Brother Gu, please take care of my family. See you later!" Before leaving, Li Shiming bowed deeply to Gu Jia and said.

"I wish you a safe journey, Mr. Li!" Gu Jia bowed in return.

He didn't know how many talented people like Li Shiming he had sent away, and his wishes were always sincere.

Just as Li Shiming was about to follow Uncle Zhao out of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, several figures appeared outside the Hall.

"Hello, Brother Daoist Zhao. There are many good seedlings this year. It seems that Tianhai Sect will have another bumper year!" A cultivator greeted Uncle Master Zhao with a smile.

The sudden appearance of several monks made Li Shiming nervous for a moment, but when he saw that these monks did not seem to be enemies, he felt relieved.

When several cultivators looked at Li Shiming and the other four young men and women, the heat in their eyes made him feel that if Uncle Zhao had not been here, these cultivators would have tried to rob them.

"The remaining eight people have spiritual roots. If we cultivate them well, maybe some of them will become successful!" Master Zhao nodded and replied.

Hearing that there were still eight people with spiritual roots, the cultivators no longer had any interest in talking to Uncle Zhao and walked towards the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests.

For fear that if they are slow, they will be overtaken by other cultivators. Young people with spiritual roots can learn all kinds of immortal arts, and at the very least, doing some hard labor in the immortal world is also valuable.

"These are small sects affiliated with the sect. The mortal areas they control are very small, so they need additional spiritual root seedlings!" Senior Brother Ma explained to Li Shiming softly.

Li Shiming couldn't help but feel fortunate. Joining a large sect like Tianhai Sect was far better than joining a small sect. Just look at the small sects that accepted the spiritual root disciples that Tianhai Sect didn't want, which showed the shortage of talent in small sects.

Outside the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, the unsuccessful young men had been sent away and they had returned to their normal lives.

Perhaps a large number of these young people do not know that one day they are only one step away from the world of immortal cultivation, and almost enter another higher world.

Uncle Master Zhao waved his hand, and Li Shiming felt his body lighten, and soft spiritual power under his feet lifted him up to the ground.

After passing through a barrier, he saw a flying boat appear in front of him.

The flying boat was about twenty meters long. On the deck there was a two-story wooden building with carved beams and painted rafters. A palace lantern was hung on each of the four corners of the building.

Everyone landed on the deck, and he found that there was a flash of spiritual light on the deck under his feet. It turned out that the deck was made of spiritual materials.

He looked at the flying boat again and found it hard to imagine how many spiritual materials were needed to build such a flying boat.

The door of the two-story wooden building opened and Uncle Zhao entered first.

"Come in, everyone. Don't go to the second floor. Just stay on the first floor. The second floor is where Uncle Zhao rests!" Senior Brother Ma said to them.

Walking into the gate, Li Shiming first felt the rich spiritual energy, which was even richer than when he used the spirit gathering plate.
