Next, it was Lin Qian's turn. She took a deep breath, stepped forward, and slowly placed her hand on the spirit-testing stone. The spirit-testing stone immediately emitted a bright green and red light, which intertwined and were exceptionally dazzling.
The disciple being tested exclaimed in surprise, "A dual root of wood and fire, with a high degree of purity."
Lin Qian was overjoyed and breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Shiyun's face turned ugly. She hadn't expected Lin Qian's spiritual root talent to be so good. Her little followers were also stunned, not knowing what to say for a moment.
After a while, a follower said sourly, "Hmph, so what if she has two spiritual roots? Sister Shiyun's water spiritual root is the most powerful."
“That’s right, this test doesn’t prove anything. In the future, in the Qingyun Sect, Sister Shiyun will definitely leave her far behind.” Another follower quickly added.
After hearing what her followers said, Lin Shiyun's expression softened slightly. She glared at Lin Qian and turned to leave the testing site.
Looking at Lin Shiyun's retreating figure, Lin Qian secretly vowed to work hard in the Qingyun Sect so that Lin Shiyun and her little followers would look at her with new respect.
The Lin family members took the test one by one, each with a different expression. Some were delighted, some were disappointed, and some remained calm, seemingly unconcerned about the results.
Finally, it was Lin Qian's turn. With a nervous heart, she stepped forward and slowly placed her hand on the spirit-testing stone. Instantly, the spirit-testing stone emitted a bright green and red light, which intertwined and shone exceptionally brightly.
A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the disciple in green, and he blurted out, "A dual spiritual root of wood and fire, with a high purity."
After the test, the disciple in blue looked at the list in his hand, nodded, and said, "In this test, four members of the Lin family—Lin Qian, Lin Shiyun, Lin Yu, and Lin Yao—passed and were selected by the Qingyun Sect. You can go back and say goodbye to your families. Tomorrow at Chenshi (7-9 AM), someone will come to pick you up and take you to the Qingyun Sect."
The four children of the Lin family had different feelings upon hearing the news.
Lin Shiyun, on the other hand, wore an air of pride, holding her head high as if she were already a core disciple of the Qingyun Sect. She felt that her excellence was a given, and she was full of confidence in entering the Qingyun Sect, firmly believing that she would definitely shine brightly there.
Lin Yu and Lin Yao were also happy to be chosen. Their faces were filled with joyful smiles, and they were also full of expectations for their future path of cultivation. They had already begun to look forward to their wonderful life in the Qingyun Sect.
However, the other members of the Lin family had different attitudes towards the chosen children. Those who weren't chosen looked at Lin Qian and the others with envy and jealousy in their eyes, and their hearts were filled with disappointment and resentment. They felt they were no less capable than Lin Qian and the others, just unlucky, and they especially resented Lin Qian. In their eyes, Lin Qian was just an insignificant illegitimate daughter; why was she chosen by the Qingyun Sect?
Lin Qian and Lin Shiyun's followers also gathered around at this time.
"Congratulations, young lady! You will surely become the most outstanding disciple in the Qingyun Sect!" a lackey said obsequiously, his eyes full of flattery.
“Of course, unlike some people who are chosen just because they are lucky.” Lin Shiyun glanced at Lin Qian smugly, her eyes full of disdain.
Lin Qian ignored Lin Shiyun's provocation and turned to leave.
"Oh, you're leaving already? Are you afraid of being outshone by others when you get to Qingyun Sect tomorrow?" another follower said loudly on purpose, trying to attract the attention of others and embarrass Lin Qian.
Lin Qian stopped, glanced back at them, and said calmly, "I only know that strength is the most important thing; verbal arguments are meaningless." After saying that, she left without looking back, leaving her followers standing there staring blankly.
Back home, Lin Qian expected it to be as quiet as usual, but to her surprise, her father, Lin Hong, was waiting for her in the yard. Lin Hong's face wore a complex expression, a mixture of relief and worry.
"Qian'er, I am very happy that you have been chosen by the Qingyun Sect." Lin Hong looked at Lin Qian with his eyes full of satisfaction. "But the Qingyun Sect is full of experts, so you must work hard to cultivate and not slack off."
Lin Qian felt a warmth in her heart. She knew that her father did not have a high status in the Lin family and that he usually showed limited concern for her. But at this moment, she felt her father's expectations and love.
"Father, don't worry, I will definitely work hard," Lin Qian said firmly.
After returning to her room, Lin Qian began communicating with 003 in her mind.
“003, I’ve finally been chosen by the Qingyun Sect. This is a new beginning,” Lin Qian said, her voice filled with anticipation.
"Host, this is a great opportunity. You must seize it and work hard to improve your strength in the Qingyun Sect," 003 encouraged.
"I know, but the competition in the Qingyun Sect is definitely fierce, and I'm a little worried," Lin Qian said somewhat uneasily.
“Host, you have two spiritual roots, which is your advantage. As long as you cultivate diligently, you will definitely be able to gain a foothold in the Qingyun Sect,” 003 comforted him.
"I hope so. I'm determined to make those who looked down on me look at me with new eyes," Lin Qian said with a determined look in her eyes.
Meanwhile, Lin Shiyun was showing off her achievements to her parents.
"Father, Mother, I have a water elemental root, and it's so pure. After entering the Qingyun Sect, I will definitely become the focus of everyone's attention." Lin Shiyun said proudly, as if she could already see herself being highly respected in the Qingyun Sect.
The majestic Qingyun Mountains gradually awaken in the morning light. Amidst the swirling clouds and mist, the magnificent architectural complex atop the mountain—the Qingyun Sect—is faintly visible.
