More and more people were climbing up the Qingyun Staircase. Chen Hongjin didn't even see Zhou Zhao and couldn't help but sneer. She knew how a wealthy young man like Zhou Zhao could endure the pain of cultivating Taoism.
"The time is coming. No one should be able to climb the Qingyun Staircase anymore." The disciple who spoke took the roster, sketched it, and was about to close it.
"Wait a minute, there's me!" A head popped up from under the stone staircase, using his hands and feet without any form, he climbed up, breathing heavily.
The Sword Sect disciple was startled to see that the incense still had a little tail that had not burned out. He climbed up the Qingyun Staircase within the specified time, so he took out a pen and wrote down, "What's your name?"
"Zhou Zhao, Zhou Zhao, my name is Zhou Zhao." Zhou Zhao gasped and said his name three times, fearing that no one in front of him heard it clearly and missed it.
"And...and me..." A very weak voice came from under the stone staircase, and after a while, a little girl with a yellow face and skinny skin crawled out.
She rubbed her hands, which were red from the cold, and asked carefully, "Did I climb up within the stipulated time?"
The Jianzong disciple who was responsible for recording the list twitched his lips. He thought that Zhou Zhao was already embarrassed enough, but he didn't expect that there would be someone even more embarrassed.
He took a deep breath, raised his pen and looked at her, "The incense has not burned out yet, so it will be considered passed."
A shy smile appeared on the little girl's beautiful face, and she whispered softly, "My name is Mi Tao."
"What's your last name?"
He actually has the same surname as his junior sister, which is considered unique in Zhenshan. I just don’t know what his qualifications are.
The little girl listened to him asking for her last name, thinking that he didn't hear clearly, and nodded her head hummingly.
So he waved his hand and wrote the two characters "Fu taro" on the roster.
"Okay, I've recorded it all. Go over and line up to have your spiritual roots tested."
Mi Yu Nuonuo followed Zhou Zhao. They were the last to climb the Qingyun Ladder, so they were also the last to test the spiritual roots, and were at the end of the long queue.
Everyone looked at the black stone on the stage in unison. The previous fatigue had long been swept away, leaving only expectation, anxiety, and excitement.
"This is the spirit-testing stone. It's so big! Someone went to the village to test people's spiritual roots before, and the spirit-testing stone is only as big as a palm! It's true that the sect is so proud!"
"This trip to Sword Sect is well worth it, it's an eye-opener!"
The people below were chatting quietly, and the Sword Sect disciples did not stop them. They were also excited when they came to Sword Sect.
It will be fine when you get used to it when you join the sect in the future.
The person in charge of the spiritual root test is Zhou Tanzhi, the eldest disciple of Yao Xuanzhen, the fourth elder of the Sword Sect. He is dressed in a white robe and his hair is lightly fluttering, just like the bright moon rising into his arms and the clear moon shining brightly.
Zhou Tanzhi coughed twice, and Qingyue's voice sounded from heaven to earth: "This test of the sword sect's spiritual root begins!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a long rainbow slipped through the air and landed next to Zhou Tanzhi.
Everyone looked across the wind and snow, and they saw a girl who was also wearing a white robe. Her eyebrows were bright and she was still young. Her whole body was like a pearl, and the snow-white robe also looked a little more lustrous on her body.
The wind and snow suddenly stopped.
People finally saw the girl's face clearly. She wore a single snail bun with a bunch of snow-white apricot blossoms on her right side. The petals of the apricot blossoms fell suddenly when the breeze blew.
The girl was born to be otherworldly, with a small ice-blue snowflake pattern printed between her eyebrows that was particularly bright, just like the sword on her waist, inadvertently revealing the cold air.
When Zhou Tanzhi saw the visitor, a sincere smile appeared on his handsome face, and he stretched out his hand to touch her head, "Why did little junior sister come here just after forming the elixir?"
Fu Zhu turned her head to avoid Zhou Tanzhi's clutches, straightened the flowers in her hair, and then replied with a smile: "Master asked me to study."
Zhou Tanzhi naturally retracted his hand without feeling embarrassed, and turned sideways to make way for Fu Zhu, "Then junior sister, please help me from the side."
Fu Zhu responded with a smile.
This little episode between the senior brother and sister passed quickly. Zhou Tanzhi picked up the roster recorded by his junior brother and read out the first name, "Chen Hongjin!"
"Put your right hand on the spiritual stone and feel it with your heart."
Because Chen Hongjin was the first person, Zhou Tanzhi was afraid that she would not understand, so he explained all the precautions for measuring spiritual roots in great detail.
Even though she had already gone through the process of measuring spiritual roots, Chen Hongjin still listened very carefully. She raised her right hand and placed it on the spiritual stone. Soon the spiritual stone changed from black to red.
"Chen Hongjin, fire element single spiritual root!"
Just as Chen Hongjin stepped down from the stage, the girl's soft and clear voice spread from the top of the mountain, causing an uproar.
"With the fire element's single spiritual root, Chen Hongjin is too evil!"
"The first person to climb the Qingyun Ladder is still Shan Linggen, a proper disciple of the Sword Sect!"
"Who is next? With Chen Hong Jinzhuyu in front, I'm afraid it will be overshadowed a lot."
Even Fu Zhu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said softly: "The first one is the fire element single spiritual root. The talents of this generation of disciples are too good."
Zhou Tanzhi was not impressed at all. When major sects recruit disciples, if one or two of them can produce one or two single spiritual roots out of a hundred, it is already considered a high price. If you are not lucky enough, you may not be able to produce any of them.
After a single spiritual root emerges, it is quite common for more than a hundred people to have dual spiritual roots or pseudo-spiritual roots.
"Next one, I wish you good luck!"
Zhu Qingyi looked at the legendary spirit-detecting stone curiously. Can this dark stone detect spiritual roots?
In order to avoid wasting everyone's time, Zhu Qingyi did not dare to observe more, and stretched out his left hand to put it on the spirit-testing stone.
Zhou Tanzhi didn't notice anything was wrong, but Fu Zhu noticed with sharp eyes that he had stretched out the wrong hand and reminded him: "Put your right hand down."
Zhu Qingyi awkwardly took back her left hand and replaced it with her right hand. Instantly, she could feel a so-called spiritual energy flowing along her arm and converging on the spiritual stone.
The color of the spiritual stone changed for a while, and finally stopped. It was not red, gold, or yellow, so what kind of spiritual root was this?
Zhu Qingyi was a little confused, and was absent-minded when leaving the spirit-testing stone, but she did not forget to thank Fu Zhu, "Thank you junior sister for reminding me just now."
Talisman beads: ┐（─__─）┌
What's wrong with this person? She doesn't have any eyesight. Even if she gets started, she still needs to be called senior sister, right?
Fu Zhu took a deep breath and read out the results of Zhu Qingyi's spiritual root test, "Zhu Qingyi, wind spiritual root!"
While Zhou Tanzhi was busy recording the attributes of the spiritual roots, he said to the talisman bead, "I didn't expect that a strange spiritual root would appear. Junior sister, you have good eyesight. The talents of this batch of disciples are really good, much better than the previous two. "
"Fortunately, you have sharp eyes and noticed that Zhu Qingyi put it in the wrong hand. Otherwise, I would have lost a disciple of Wind Spirit Root. Master would have split me open and burned me as firewood!"
Fu Zhu was very doubtful. According to Zhu Qingyi's vision, could he pass the subsequent test?
The Qingyun Ladder and the Spiritual Root Test are just the threshold for the sect's test. If you really want to become a disciple of the Sword Sect, you must pass the three levels of soul selection, heart enlightenment, and sword forging.
Even if you have Tianlinggen and fail to pass one of these three levels, you will not be able to become a disciple of the Sword Sect.
