Seeing that the two people behind him didn't react, Jin Hong turned his head to look at them. He saw that the two girls were actually staring at the master in a daze. In his heart, he just hoped that the master wouldn't blame him. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but cough lightly: "Ahem."
Su Yao and the other two came back to their senses after hearing the light cough. Recalling Jin Hong's steps just now, they also saluted to the person directly above them: "Disciple Su Yao/Ningjing greets the headmaster and all the elders."
The head of the sect, Gu Changfeng, had already noticed the two's little tricks. He raised his lips and asked Jin Hong, "Are these two the new talents you recruited this time when you came down the mountain?"
"Reporting to the master, that's right. One of these two people has a top-grade ice spiritual root, and the other one has a top-grade fire spiritual root." After saying that, all the elders couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. After all, top-grade spiritual roots are extremely rare. Even in the sect, there has only been one top-grade spiritual root in thousands of years, but now there are two at once.
"Hahaha, good, good, good, Jinhong, you did a good job this time. You are allowed to stay in the Spirit Cleansing Realm for another month." Gu Changfeng and the elders all had smiles on their faces, as if there was some great joyful event.
Jin Hong was overjoyed to hear this and bowed again hurriedly: "Thank you for your kindness, Master. I will redouble my efforts in cultivation. I will not let Master and the elders down." The reason why Jin Hong was so excited and happy was that this Spirit Cleansing Realm was a special place for cultivation. One day of cultivation there was equivalent to half a month outside, and one could also constantly refine one's original spiritual energy, making it purer.
Jin Hong is now in the middle stage of the Golden Core. If he can enter the Spirit Cleansing Realm to practice for a month, he will probably be able to enter the late stage of the Golden Core in no time. By then, he will surely surpass many cultivators who entered the sect at the same time. How can this not make people happy?
Seeing Senior Brother Jinhong's reaction, Su Yao couldn't help but feel curious about what kind of place this was that made her senior brother, who had been calm all the way, show such a happy expression. She secretly memorized the three words "Spirit Cleansing Realm" in her heart.
After a while, Gu Changfeng continued, "Jinhong, go down and claim your reward first. The elders can take care of the rest."
"Yes, disciple, I'll take my leave."
After Jinhong left, Gu Changfeng spoke again: "I heard that you two have excellent spiritual roots. Would you like to join our Xiaoyao Sect?" In fact, Gu Changfeng knew in his heart that the two little girls must have made a decision to come this far, but it would be safer to ask again.
Su Yao and Ning Jing turned their heads and looked at each other, then they silently held hands and nodded firmly: "To reply to the leader, we are willing." At this moment, Su Yao and Ning Jing knew very well that from now on, they would truly embark on the path of cultivating immortals.
Gu Changfeng's face was smiling like a flower at this time, which really gave Su Yao and Ning Jing an inexplicable sense of contrast. He looked serious, dignified and steady when they first met, but he was smiling like he had picked up money.
After finally suppressing his smile, Gu Changfeng coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment: "Well, let me first introduce you to several elders of our sect. After that, you will follow the elders to practice various spells. After you have practiced with them for two months, you can choose the direction that suits you best."
"The one sitting on the far right is Elder Wan Mingyang. He mainly teaches formations and talismans."
"And the one next to Elder Wan is Elder Liu Ruyi. She mainly teaches people how to refine pills."
"Look at the person on my left, this is Elder Lin Jiancai. He mainly teaches swordsmanship."
"The last one is Elder Duan Tangli. She mainly teaches the art of taming beasts."
All the elders looked at the two of them with smiles on their faces, and it was obvious that they were full of expectations for Su Yao and the others.
"Our Xiaoyao Sect is a free sect. We won't force you to join any particular sect. We will only conduct a comprehensive assessment based on each disciple's strengths and weaknesses to determine which type of magic you are best suited to practice. This will maximize your strengths. I hope you will treat the next two months well, study diligently, and consider what suits you best."
After the headmaster finished speaking, Su Yao couldn't help but think: "Isn't this the model of studying in high school in the past? It's the same as the previous division of arts and science. Those who are good at arts go to arts, and those who are good at science go to science. I didn't expect that there would be such a particular way of studying in the world of immortal cultivation."
Then the headmaster said, "Alright, let's stop here for today. I think you must be exhausted from traveling all the way. I'll have someone take you to the disciple hall."
Then Gu Changfeng sent a message to the disciple waiting in the outer hall, asking him to come in and lead the two to the disciple courtyard. Su Yao and the other person bowed respectfully and then followed the disciple.
After Su Yao and the other two left, the hall finally couldn't help but become noisy, and several elders started discussing it one after another.
"I think these two little girls are excellent. They have good spiritual roots and look well-behaved. I like them very much. I estimate that they can officially become my disciples in two months. Hahaha." Elder Liu was the first to speak.
Then came Elder Wan: "Come on, it's still unclear who these two little girls will become disciples of. They look smart and will surely be able to master the talismans and formations."
Elder Duan laughed disdainfully, "You two better stop arguing. Those two girls will definitely become my disciples in the end. I have so many lovely spirit beasts, I don't believe they can resist."
"Alas, Old Duan, I'm not happy with what you said. If you say so, then both girls can join your Beast Taming Peak. However, our Spirit Sword Peak also has many talented students who practice the way of swords. In my opinion, these two girls will definitely join us in the end."
"Okay, okay, stop arguing. We'll know the result in two months anyway. Just go back. Your quarreling here is giving me a headache." Gu Changfeng drove them away. The elders all looked at him. They saw that Gu Changfeng didn't look worried at all. He clearly looked like he had gotten a great deal, and his mouth was almost stretched to his ears.
As the elders left the hall, a burst of laughter suddenly rang out. The elders looked at each other, and Elder Duan said, "Should we tell the Sect Master that he forgot to set up the soundproofing enclosure?"
Elder Wan was a shrewd man. He smiled and whispered, "Let's go, quickly! Let him chase us away and embarrass us." The elders agreed unanimously and left on tiptoe. By the next day, rumors were circulating in the sect that the leader had gone insane...
At this time, Su Yao and the other person were being led to a courtyard. Coincidentally, this courtyard was just big enough for two disciples to live in. The courtyard was very large, with rooms on both sides and an open area in the middle. After asking the disciple who led them, they learned that the area was made wider to facilitate the practice of the new disciples.
