Baiyan City, Teleport Plaza
At the examination center for unopened spiritual disciples, Qiye lined up quietly in the crowd, disappearing from the crowd and inconspicuous.
He didn't care about the arrogant and fat young man who had just cut in line. There was no shortage of arrogant and domineering people in the world. The thought passed away very calmly.
"Go away, go away, go away..." The wealthy young man shouted loudly, moving forward wantonly and continuing to force himself.
Although the people who were avoiding the situation in front were very dissatisfied, they were extremely reluctant to give way.
Those who come here to take the assessment are all poor children. If it weren't for their family background, who would give in to the arrogance of others.
"Huh, he's just a kid from a third- or fourth-rate family, but he really thinks of himself as a young master here!"
Behind Qiye, a young man of the same age complained in a low voice.
"Oh, do you know him?" Qiye asked in a surprised voice.
"Of course I know him. He is the youngest son of Xianglong Drugstore in our city. His name is: Xiang Lifu. Because the owner of the drugstore Xiang always has a son, the baby must be like a sweetheart. He grew up eating pills and he is arrogant and domineering. Everyone I didn’t even dare to provoke him. But I didn’t expect that he would be so tyrannical here!”
The young man gave a brief introduction, with quite a bit of anger in his words.
"Well, it turns out he is the son of the drugstore owner..." Qiye nodded in understanding, and after a few thought-provoking words, he stopped asking any more questions.
He was never interested in asking about other people's affairs. However, I will also pay a little attention to certain people and things.
After all, the inherited experience in the world of martial arts has allowed Qiye to subtly develop this keen "sense" that others take decades to develop. And he had a hunch that he might have another intersection with this Xianglifu.
I glanced at the rich young man named Xiang Lifu again. He had a plump back and finely wrought silk. He looked like he was a child of a wealthy family.
Although Qiye felt some inexplicable changes in his heart, he had no choice but to endure it for the time being and wait for the exam to be successfully passed.
Xiang Lifu, on the other hand, forced his way to the front of the queue. After receiving a stern look from the assessment elder, he calmed down like a frustrated ball and lined up in an orderly manner, not daring to make any more rash moves.
"Next..." the assessment elder called again
"Me, me, me."
"Yes, with moderate bone age and strong body, I am allowed to enter the next round."
The three assessment elders carefully touched the bones and pinched them and passed unanimously.
After successfully passing the first level, Xiang Lifu came to the Yuanhun Mirror with a proud look on his face.
Test result: Human Spiritual Root Level 7, passed the assessment!
Therefore, Kuo Shaoxiang Lifu chose to join the Tianyun Sect without any hindrance, and then walked off the stage humming a tune with a proud look on his face.
Looking at the many poor children in rustic clothes waiting to be tested, my eyes were full of contempt.
When everyone saw that even such a playboy could easily pass the test, the disciples from the poor family couldn't help but feel hatred in their hearts: It's true that the sky has no eyes!
Qiye was very calm about this: If the son of the drugstore owner couldn't even pass the test of taking medicine, how poor his qualifications must be!
The wait continued for a long time, and the number of people in line continued to decrease one by one, but in general: stay less and go more.
Many people who failed the test passed him by with tears in their eyes.
Looking at these losers who left in despair, Qiye sighed helplessly:
If they cannot become spiritual masters, what awaits them will be a lifelong ant-like life at the mercy of others.
Only the weak can understand the cruelty of this world the most, just as only the poor can truly understand the weight of money.
I prayed silently in my heart: I hope they will have the opportunity to become spiritual practitioners in the future...
Because he had climbed through such a hellish life, Qiye's determination to become stronger was stronger than anyone else's.
If you cannot use your strength to defend your freedom of existence, you will be deprived of the dignity of your existence!
"Next……"
Just as Qiye lowered his head and was in a trance, he suddenly heard the elder's summons.
When it was his turn, Qiye suddenly raised his head, his eyes were bright and energetic, and he walked forward with great momentum.
Arriving in front of the three elders, Qiye lowered his body and bowed respectfully. The auras of these three elders are much stronger than mine, and they should be at the fighting spirit level.
When it's time to bow your head now, bow your head.
Just a pragmatic ancient saying, Qiye keeps it in mind: in the absence of absolute strength, arrogance is ignorance!
Seeing Qiye's correct attitude, the three elders nodded with satisfaction. Immediately waving their long sleeves, the three of them walked to his side, and pinched all the joints, important acupuncture points, and skeletal muscles of Qiye's body with their six hands.
"Yeah, yeah, this boy has flexible bones, strong tendons, and a strong pulse. Not bad, not bad..." The three elders gently stroked their long beards and said quite optimistically.
Immediately, Qiye was brought to the Yuanhun Mirror again, and the calm and simple mirror suddenly flashed with brilliance, and a ray of rays of light shone on him.
Bathing in the glow, you feel a faint warmth, as if you are lying comfortably in a hot spring. It is so comfortable that you will forget it.
However, when Xiaguang wanted to continue to penetrate into Qiye's body, he was blocked by an invisible force. The brilliance only paused outside the body for a moment before being caught in the mirror, and Qiye woke up from the comfortable feeling.
"First-grade earth spirit root, passed the assessment!"
Soon, the test results appeared on the Soul Mirror.
Seeing this result, Qiye was not surprised at all.
The black demonic flames swallowed up the talents of three people. Although the three of them were not amazingly talented people, the combined talents of the three of them could be regarded as three cobblers, even more powerful than Zhuge Liang.
Even if his talent is mediocre, if he still can't pass, then he has some doubts about the reliability of this soul mirror.
However, during the test just now, Qiye also noticed that the Hunyuan Refining Realm in his body blocked the deep irradiation of the soul mirror's spiritual light. From this, it seems that his true talent should not have been detected.
Although he was very calm in his heart, his face still showed a stunned look. That kind of sudden surprise and hard-to-conceal excitement, Qiye acted with such immersion.
It was really a bit embarrassing for him. For the poor disciples, such test results were undoubtedly a gift from heaven. How could he not feel even a little bit excited?
If he acted as calm as ever, it would be a bit strange and suspicious.
"Hmm, okay, okay, okay... This guy really did not disappoint. Little guy, which sect do you want to join?" One of the assessment elders asked after praising him repeatedly.
"Little guy, if you are willing to come to our Tianhai Sect, we can open your soul alone, how about it?" Before Qiye could make a choice, an elder of the Tianhai Sect extended an olive branch.
"Elder Chu, if you rob people so blatantly, you really don't take us seriously!" Elder Tianwu Sect, one of the three, immediately came out to stop him.
"Your Tianwuzong has recruited so many talented disciples, you must leave a few for us. If you accept them all, it would be a bit unreasonable." The elder of Tianhai Sect said he was obliged to do his job.
"Those are the results of the disciples' voluntary choices, but if you intervene forcefully like this, aren't you afraid of breaking the rules?" The Tianwuzong elder argued that if he could recruit more talents for the sect, he would have a stronger foundation.
It's no wonder that they would argue so much over a disciple with earthly spiritual roots, because even a disciple with a first-level earthly spiritual root will have far greater achievements in the future than ten disciples with a ninth-level spiritual root.
The superiority of innate qualifications will be revealed with the deepening of cultivation.
Although diligence can make up for weakness, it also requires doubling the time spent. Moreover, the human race's spiritual lifespan is not long, only two to three hundred years. If the time is the same, those with extraordinary talents and qualifications will naturally have a greater chance of advancing to a higher level.
Qiye looked at the two people who were arguing and refused to give in, and then looked at another Tianyun Sect elder who was standing silently aside.
Some of them understood, even though it was a combination of three sects. But compared to the two sects, Tianwuzong and Tianhai Sect, Tianyun Sect is particularly weak, so it is unable to argue with the two major sects.
After thinking about it, Qiye scratched his head in embarrassment and said sheepishly:
"Well... there is no need for the two elders to argue. I have already made up my mind. I want to join Tianyun Sect..."
Although Qiye's tone was gentle, as soon as the words came out, the two people who had been arguing just now suddenly stared at him in astonishment, and the silent Tianyun Sect elder was even more confused and confused, but he looked happy.
"Boy, have you thought about it? If you miss this opportunity, there will be no next time!" the elder of Tianhai Sect emphasized.
"Yeah, thank you two elders for your kindness. I have already thought about it..." Qiye looked calm and showed no signs of being hot-headed.
"Hmph, even if you choose any one of our two major sects, you will still be better than the Tianyun Sect!" The elder of the Tianhai Sect said with dissatisfaction. After arguing for a long time, the Tianyun Sect was actually given the advantage. Naturally, he felt resentful in his heart.
"Elder Chu, you must have made a mistake when you said this!" The Tianyun Sect elder who had been silent all this time said suddenly when he heard the Tianhai Sect elder belittled his sect.
"Huh, forget it!" The Tianhai Sect elder seemed to realize that what he said was inappropriate, but he stopped there without any mercy.
Although the strength of the three sects is very different, in general, the three sects are united, and any remarks that are not conducive to the unity of the three sects are taboo.
"Little guy, since you have chosen our Tianyun Sect, you are a disciple of our Tianyun Sect. What is your name?" the elder of the Tianyun Sect asked with a kind face.
"Ah Qi..." Qiye still said these two words calmly. As for his true name, he had already buried it in his heart.
"Well, this is the waist badge of our Tianyun Sect disciples. Put it away and return to the team..." After the Tianyun Sect elder handed over a waist badge, he guided Qiye to the gathering place for Tianyun Sect's disciples who passed the examination.
Qiye put away his waist badge and came to the crowd. At a glance, he caught sight of Kuo Shaoxiang Lifu who had just forcibly jumped in line. The scene where he passed the exam and the three sects were robbing people was in front of everyone's eyes. Some are envious, some are jealous.
Although he is only a first-grade Earth Spiritual Root, he is still a talent of no great caliber! Better than most.
And this young master Xiang couldn't see anyone surpassing him in the limelight, and he secretly resented it in his heart. He said bluntly without any scruples, "Huh, no matter how talented you are, what's the use? You're still a pariah!"
