Fu Zhong pretended to sigh, paused and then continued.
"Little brother, I won't hide it from you. In those sects, those with top-grade spiritual roots can directly enter the inner sect, and in the outer sect, the treatment of disciples with top-grade spiritual roots is often much better than that of disciples with middle-grade spiritual roots."
"How about this, little brother Jiang Li, I, Fu Zhong, feel sorry for you. If you can convince your friend to stay in Shengxian Pavilion together, I will make the decision and give you the treatment of a top-grade spiritual root disciple. How do you think?"
Jiang Li was stunned for a moment, glanced at Yan Hong, then bowed and saluted Fu Zhong.
"Thank you for your appreciation, Senior Fu... I will try my best."
He deliberately lowered his voice when speaking the second half of the sentence, as if he really wanted to convince Yan Hong to stay with him.
Fu Zhong was obviously very satisfied, and his eyes, which were not big to begin with, narrowed into a thin line.
Looking at the wooden sign hanging on himself, Jiang Li smiled and stood together with Yan Hong.
Judging from the Scale Monster incident, Shengxian Pavilion is most likely still engaging in human trafficking to some extent.
In fact, the immortal cultivators themselves and other reserve forces are quite similar to the scale monsters. They are all commodities that can bring them profits.
However, Fu Zhong's attitude did not seem fake, which made him feel more at ease.
It can be seen that the qualifications of medium-grade and above spiritual roots have a certain appeal to the Shengxian Pavilion and even other sects and forces.
But even though they were on someone else's territory, the other party did not force the potential newcomers to join them, but instead used this euphemistic way to persuade them.
This means that there must be some rules restricting them, and they cannot do whatever they want to the immortal cultivators who have no power to resist.
The biggest possibility is other sects in this area.
Each of these immortal cultivators is a skilled person who has lived for dozens or even hundreds of years.
Even for the sake of convenience, the task of recruiting reserve cultivators was handed over to the more professional Shengxian Pavilion.
It is impossible for them not to set enough restrictions. Otherwise, every time they recruit disciples, the best disciples will be taken away by Shengxian Pavilion. Then, within a hundred years, the world of immortal cultivation in Dachong Mountain will be ruled by Shengxian Pavilion.
Soon, half an hour was over, and the spirit testing arrays had exhausted their energy and went out. Among the remaining eight people who were tested with Jiang Li, none of them could fill up the spirit testing ball.
It is worth mentioning that among the eight people, Yan Fengyue, the heroine of the molestation incident that caused the original owner's death, had a lonely look on her delicate mixed-race face at this time, and her assistant casually hung a wooden sign of low-grade spiritual roots on her.
Jiang Li also glanced at her. At this moment, the other party was holding the wooden sign tightly, and her eyes were sweeping towards them intentionally or unintentionally. No one knew what she was thinking.
She considered herself to be a favored daughter of heaven and was admired by thousands of people since she was a child. After her spiritual root aptitude was detected, she thought she would be able to transform from a peacock into a phoenix, but unexpectedly, she turned out to be of low-grade spiritual roots.
On the contrary, Jiang Li, Yan Hong and Li Baichen, whom she had looked down upon before, all possessed talents far beyond hers.
This made her jealous and crazy, but she could do nothing about it. She could only accept the reality and plan for the future.
"Yan Hong and Jiang Li have a very good relationship. One of them has a high-grade spiritual root, and the other has a dual-attribute medium-grade spiritual root. If they unite together, they will be a very strong group among this group of people."
"Yan Hong and I are both of the royal blood of Hongyan Kingdom. Jiang Li also pursued me before. Although he was beaten because of me, it's not my fault. As long as Yan Hong helps me to speak up, I can show some grievances and I will definitely make him fall in love with me again."
"If I can join them, with the help of Yan Hong and that idiot Jiang Li, maybe in the future..."
In fact, there are far more people who have some ideas than Yan Fengyue.
Everyone is not a fool and has their own ideas and considerations. With a few people with top-grade spiritual roots as the center, it won’t take long for a new group to be formed.
After waiting for a long time, the qualification test of more than 200 people was finally completed.
Including Jiang Li, there are only nineteen people with middle-grade spiritual roots, five with high-grade spiritual roots, and not even a single person with the best-grade spiritual roots.
The cruel elimination in the world of cultivation has already begun from this first step.
"Okay, everyone has completed the test and knows their spiritual root attributes and grades."
"Now, all those with medium-grade or higher spiritual roots and those holding our Ascension Pavilion jade tokens, follow me. We will head to the Ascension Conference venue in a moment."
"As for the rest of you, stay where you are. You have other plans."
After hearing this, nearly half of the boys and girls present stood behind Fu Zhong. Most of them were dressed in gorgeous clothes, and the few who were dressed simply were all children who had been tested before and had spiritual roots of medium quality or above.
And there were more than a hundred restless children left there. They were all wearing coarse linen clothes, and their families obviously did not have the ability to exchange that kind of jade token for them.
Could it be that...

Jiang Li and Yan Hong looked at each other and had some guesses in their minds.
"I'll go ask."
Yan Hong seemed to have thought of something suddenly. After leaving a word, he moved closer to Fu Zhong who was walking in front and started talking.
Both of them have chubby faces, and when put together, they look inexplicably harmonious.
Probably because of Yan Hong's superior spiritual roots, Fu Zhong talked to him a lot, and only said goodbye and left after bringing them into a lounge.
It is said that to go to the venue of the Ascension Conference, they need to take another means of transportation, and they also need to wait for the people in other convoys to test their spiritual roots before setting off together.
Fortunately, there were a lot of delicious food in the lounge. Everyone had been traveling a long way before, and after arriving, they had to undergo spiritual root tests for several hours in a row. They were already tired and hungry, so they cheered and started to eat.
Several people with superior spiritual roots sat at several long tables in tacit understanding, while the others chose the dining table based on their own considerations, which was a kind of standing in line for them.
However, there was a small problem on Jiang Li and Yan Hong's side.
"Brother, I know what this jade token is about."
"Tell me about it."
Although Jiang Li already had his own guess, it would be best if it could be confirmed.
"The cultivator who tested our spiritual talent told us that no matter which sect we go to, this jade token can exempt us from two years of hard labor. This statement is both right and wrong, and it's not accurate enough."
"This is just an ordinary jade token. It will not have any effect in any other sect!"
"To be precise, this jade token can exempt one from two years of hard labor in Shengxian Pavilion!"
