On the way to Xuanjian Sect, Chen Yao went over in her mind the cultivation techniques she had learned in Hehuan Sect. After looking at them over and over again, she could simply summarize them as: dual cultivation, charm...
She raised her eyebrows and thought: I hope this dual cultivation technique will be of some use in the future, and help her get rid of this troublesome Heart-Eating Charm as soon as possible.
However, as of now, how can she successfully get into the Xuanjian Sect? This requires careful consideration on the way there.
…
Five days later.
The Xuanjian Sect on Tianyu Mountain launched its annual spiritual root talent test ceremony to select newcomers with better spiritual root talents and admit them into the sect.
Early in the morning, a long line formed outside the gate of Xuanjian Sect. At a glance, it was crowded with people who came to test their spiritual root talents.
The two disciples who opened the door looked at the line, which was even longer than in previous years. They wiped their sweat silently and whispered, "What's going on this year? There are so many more people than in previous years?"
"Could it be that those who failed the screening last year are here again this year?"
"It's possible, but spiritual roots and talents won't change much even after another year. Why bother?"
"Alas, maybe it's because I'm unwilling to accept it..."
As the door was fully opened, the people who had been waiting outside began to get restless, some anxious to get in early.
The two disciples guarding the door were afraid that they didn't know the rules, so they reminded them at the right time:
"Please come in according to the queue order and do not cut in line or create crowds, otherwise you will be eliminated directly."
"Next, please enter through this door—"
As soon as they finished speaking, the first few people at the head of the crowd walked in. It was obvious that each of them had a look of nervousness and anticipation on their faces.
Gradually... more and more people walked in.
After a certain number of people arrived, the two young disciples guarding the door stopped those who wanted to enter and used magic to build a simple fence as a boundary, forcing them to stand outside the fence and wait for the next round of people to be allowed in.
As luck would have it, Chen Yao was one of the last few people stuck.
She raised her eyebrows and accepted her fate: ...
Forget it, just keep waiting.
At this moment, the man and woman standing side by side with her became a little uneasy.
They should know each other and came here together. They were a little unhappy about being stopped, so they lowered their heads and quickly discussed something.
Then, Chen Yao saw them quietly stuffing something shiny into the hands of the two young disciples guarding the gate at lightning speed.
Chen Yao's eyes widened in shock. Is this possible?
However, the two disciples guarding the gate had no intention of accepting the items. They returned the items without any reservation and said to the man and woman with stern faces:
"You two have been eliminated."
As they spoke, they called people over and took the man and woman away from another direction without any courtesy.
This series of actions left Chen Yao stunned.
After a moment, she came back to her senses and had a preliminary understanding of the Xuanjian Sect. She thought that the internal management of their sect should be very good.
…
It was unknown how long it had been, but when Shen Yao's legs were almost numb from standing, the fence in front of her was finally removed, and a new round of releases began.
She stretched her muscles slightly and walked silently inside.
The Xuanjian Sect's spiritual root talent testing ceremony seemed to be more grand than she had imagined.
On a very wide platform, ten test stones were neatly suspended in the air. Around the platform, some people were sitting. She guessed that they should be the Sword Masters of the Xuanjian Sect who came to select disciples.
A moment later, under the guidance of a special disciple, Chen Yao, as the leader of the team, consciously walked to the front of the first test stone.
The people behind her walked to the remaining nine test stones in order.
During the preparation time, she quickly took a look at the big men of Xuanjian Sect who were sitting firmly around the stage.
Among them, there was a man who looked very cold, abstinent and indifferent to the world, but with a handsome face and outstanding temperament, he attracted her attention.
He was dressed in a light-colored Taoist robe, as if he was not stained by any worldly things. He leaned calmly on the seat, looking at the newcomers with an indifferent expression.
Judging from the seating arrangement, he sat in a position slightly above the others and looked much younger than some of the people sitting around him. Chen Yao guessed that he must be a very important figure in the Xuanjian Sect. Perhaps, he was Jun Ze, the male protagonist of the small world.
Thinking of this, she narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at him more closely, while confirming with the system: "Look at that person wearing a light-colored Taoist robe and sitting upright with a cold expression. Is he Jun Ze, the male protagonist of the small world?"
The system replied: "Yes, it's him."
Chen Yao understood and silently withdrew her gaze.
The moment she withdrew her gaze, Jun Ze seemed to sense something and glanced at her with a very indifferent look.
Coincidentally, the people around him wanted to ask him about accepting disciples. They caught the slight fluctuation in his eyes and subconsciously followed him to look towards Chen Yao.
After a moment, he exclaimed in amazement, as if he was stunned by her beauty. "What a beautiful lady! I never thought that our Xuanjian Sect, which has mostly male disciples, could welcome such a fairy-like beauty. It's great! Beauties are finally not just found in the Hehuan Sect."
When Junze heard Qu Jing's words, his expression did not fluctuate at all. He still looked forward calmly, as if everything had nothing to do with him.
Seeing this, Qu Jing simply asked directly, "Jun Ze, are you interested in taking that girl as your apprentice? She looks quite good to me."
Before Junze could reply, he couldn't help but say to himself, "I think it's okay. Why don't you just give her to me? Just let me take her in. How about that?"
Jun Ze simply replied, "It's up to you."
Qu Jing was immediately happy, and his gaze towards Chen Yao standing on the stage became softer, as if she was already his apprentice.
Soon, the spiritual root talent test on the stage began. In front of the ten test stones, ten people, including Chen Yao, pressed their palms on the test stones in unison, and then waited nervously for the test results.
Above the test stone in front of Chen Yao, beams of light of different colors flashed quickly, and the depth of the colors also varied.
