Before Zhu Haohao could answer, a cultivator who was walking quickly towards the registration area suddenly interrupted.
"Of course we signed up to join the Demon-Slaying Squad and the team to kill the great demon Ling Mo! Where did you all come from? You don't even know something like this?"
"What are you dawdling for? Hurry up and come over here! The line is going to get even longer soon." His companion was already standing at the back of the line, waving at him.
Upon seeing this, the man quickly replied, "Coming, coming!"
As the others ran to line up, Rong Zi raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are there this many people signing up for the Demon-Slaying Squad every day?"
Zhu Haohao nodded. "I heard that's true. I heard that the Ling family's place is almost full."
"However, not everyone who signs up will stay at the Ling family. Many people just follow the trend, register, and then leave. After all, cultivators who stay at the Ling family are ranked according to their cultivation level and then assigned to different small teams, and many cultivators don't like being restricted."
Rong Zi and his two apprentices: "..."
This is hardly a demon-slaying team.
That's a demon-slaying army, isn't it?!
Seeing Rong Zi staring at the queue, Zhu Haohao assumed she didn't like queuing.
He said, "Don't worry, we don't need to queue. We can go directly through the special channel."
Rong Zi: "Why?"
Zhu Haohao explained, "This is a special treatment enjoyed by people from the five major sects and cultivators above the Golden Core stage."
People from the five major sects or cultivators at the Golden Core stage or above?
Rong Zi silently looked down at herself.
She doesn't seem to meet either of these conditions.
Not only that...
Among their group, she seemed to be the only one who did not meet the requirements for using the special passage.
Rong Zi: ...That hurts.
Shen Wanxin noticed Rong Zi's actions, reached out and gently patted her shoulder, saying, "With us leading you, they shouldn't make things too difficult for you."
However……
"You are not qualified to use the special lane. Please queue outside."
The person registering through the special channel merely glanced at Rong Zi, and seeing that she was only at the Qi Refining stage, they casually pointed her outside.
Rong Zi looked up at Shen Wanxin.
The plot is unfolding... and it seems a little different from what I expected.
Shen Wanxin coughed awkwardly and stepped forward to the person registering, saying, "She's with us."
When faced with Shen Wanxin, the applicants' attitudes immediately changed completely.
"Chief Shen, this is putting us in a difficult position. This girl is neither from the five major sects, and her cultivation is so low. Let alone the Golden Core stage, look at her, she's not even at the Foundation Establishment stage. I... I really can't let her go."
She wasn't even at the Foundation Establishment stage...
With a 'thud,' Rong Zi felt as if an arrow had been pierced his chest.
Qi Yufei and Ling Mo glanced down at their distraught master, then silently reached out and patted her shoulder on either side to comfort her.
Rong Zi's disciples already knew that his spiritual root and cultivation method were different from others.
Although she is currently at the Qi Refining stage.
However, in terms of strength, she is already comparable to a Golden Core cultivator.
The person registering the application observed Shen Wanxin's reaction and then cautiously continued to speak.
“However, Chief Shen, apart from this girl, all four of you are qualified to use the special passage. Moreover, with your cultivation levels, you are all sure to be able to join the first team. Would you like me to give you your names now?”
Shen Wanxin did not answer the applicant's question, but instead looked down at Rong Zi.
Rong Zi thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you register first? I'll go outside to queue up, and you can wait for me inside."
Upon hearing this, the people who had registered immediately stood up and greeted them warmly.
"Gentlemen, I'll help you right away..."
"I'll go out and queue with you," Ling Mo suddenly said to Rong Zi.
Qi Yufei chimed in, "Me too, we're not going through this special passage. We, the disciples, will all go outside and queue together."
"How can that be?" the registration staff flattered. "With your cultivation levels, you don't need to go outside in the wind and sun and wait patiently. You can enter directly from here."
Qi Yufei countered, "Do you have a rule here that cultivators above the Golden Core stage can't queue up to enter?"
The person who signed up was taken aback.
"No...no, that's not the case."
"Alright then." Qi Yufei grabbed Rong Zi's wrist and decisively walked out with her. "Let's go, Junior Sister... Junior Sister."
Ling Mo didn't say anything, but silently followed behind the two of them.
Zhu Haohao watched their departing figures and quickly chased after them.
"Wait for me, I'll come with you too."
The applicants were stunned by what they saw. "This..."
It wasn't that fellow disciples or fellow students had signed up together before.
But they all follow the rules.
This is the first time someone has chosen to forgo using the special lane and insist on queuing outside.
Who exactly is that little girl?
Why are all these people revolving around her?
The person registering looked at Shen Wanxin, hesitated, and said, "Chief Shen, what do you think of this..."
"You go about your business, don't worry about us."
Shen Wanxin waved to him, then turned and followed the others out.
Applicant: "..."
Rong Zi looked at them in surprise, "Why are you all out here?"
Shen Wanxin replied, "Since we came together, we should go in together. It's sunny outside, so let's go queue up first."
They walked toward the long line at the entrance and eventually stood at the very back of the line.
Regardless of their cultivation level, their outstanding appearance alone was enough to attract the attention of many people.
Of course, regarding appearance, we must first rule out the current Ling Mo...
Some people were observing them and whispered, "Look, that person looks like the chief disciple of the Shuiyuan Sect."
"I know her, I think her name is Shen Wanxin. The young man standing in front of her should be the junior disciple of the Shuiyuan Sect, right?"
"Junior brother? Aren't all the direct disciples of the Shuiyuan Sect female? How could there be a junior brother?"
"You didn't know that, did you? I just found out myself. Not only does the Shuiyuan Sect have a junior brother, but this junior brother also possesses a mutated spiritual root, the spatial spiritual root. He has excellent talent."
"A spatial spiritual root? That's truly remarkable. None of the five major sects have disciples with a spatial spiritual root. I never expected that the Shuiyuan Sect would have one."
In the world of cultivation, cultivators possess the most abundant spiritual roots, which are the five elements spiritual roots.
The second most important thing is the mutated spiritual root.
Among the mutated spiritual roots, the spatial spiritual root and the temporal spiritual root are the rarest.
A cultivator possessing these two spiritual roots, even if they are only of medium grade, would be highly sought after in the cultivation world.
It's an absolute hot commodity.
