Chapter 153: Chapter 153 True Spirit Root_l

Translator: 549690339

At the entrance of the Southstream Market, the stewards of the four major cultivation families were all gathered around two disciples in the teal uniforms of the Divine Wood Sect, nodding and bowing profusely.

Chen Mobai squeezed into the crowd, carefully inspecting the two individuals who garnered such attention.

“Strange, why are there two True Disciples here?

According to the information he had gathered earlier, it was supposed to have been the Third True Disciple, E Yun, who would be visiting.

It was said that E Yun’s appearance was ordinary and unassuming, but due to his devoted cultivation of the “Longevity Sutra,” he was considered one of the most promising talents for Foundation Establishment among this generation’s

True Disciples.

The two disciples from the Divine Wood Sect, one male and one female.

The man was elegant and handsome.

The woman had rosy lips, bright teeth, and picturesque eyes. Although she seemed to be only thirteen or fourteen years old, her potential for breathtaking beauty in the future was already apparent.

Chen Mobai caught snippets of conversations that identified the man by the surname Yuan and the female by the surname Ding.

If it’s a Yuan, could he be Yuan Chiye, who is ranked eighteenth among the twenty-four True Disciples of this generation?

As for the surname Ding, There are two true disciples within this generation including a woman who might be Ding Ying.

Chen Mobai naturally gathered a lot of intelligence about the sect since he had decided to join the Divine Wood Sect.

From what’s made public by the Divine Wood Sect, there are two Gold Core elders at the highest rank, and twenty-four True Disciples at the lower rank.

However, there’s no precise number as to how many elders there are inside the sect who are at Foundation Establishment stage, with so many differing conjectures floating around.

The cultivators of the Tianhe Realm are so dedicated to working for their Spirit Stones and Cultivation Techniques every day that they have no spare time to collect and study this kind of information.

On the other hand, Chen Mobai managed to make an approximate computation based on what the Spirit Medicine Shopkeeper from the Divine Wood Sect in the market revealed.

He said, approximately two to four out of the twenty-four True Disciples are capable of successfully Establishing Foundations in each generation.

That means an average of three additional Foundation Establishment cultivators per decade.

The Divine Wood Sect has been in existence for fifty years since its inception, so there are at least fifteen True Cultivators with established foundations as a base.

But it’s unknown how many Foundation Establishment cultivators were brought along from the Five Elements Sect and how many were lost in these years.

Among the True Disciples of this generation, the three deemed most likely to Establish Foundations include E Yun.

Since he never splits his focus by practising dual cultivation techniques, his spiritual power is extremely pure, hence why most people regard him as the True Disciple most likely to Establish Foundation first in this generation.

But this isn’t absolute.

There were several instances where individuals who initially ranked lower among the True Disciples, surprised everyone and successfully established their foundations.

A short time later, the two disciples from the Divine Wood Sect were escorted by the four major cultivation families to the most central Sky Meal Building in the market.

Chen Mobai waited in place for a while.

About the time It takes to burn one stick of incense, Qi Er ran over.

“Senior, I have asked around, this E Yun, being the Third True Disciple, is highly regarded by many in the Divine Wood Sect for his potential to reach Foundation Establishment. That’s why there are a lot of disciples who choose to attach themselves to him.”

“This time, he undertook a task as the sect’s Spirit Messenger, but his primary aim is to prepare for his Foundation Establishment. Therefore, he delegated the task of recruiting loose cultivators to these two disciples who are bound to him.”

“The male disciple from the Divine Wood Sect is Yuan Chiye, the Eighteenth True Disciple and the young looking lady is Ding Ying who seems to be a True

Disciple too.”

After hearing this, Chen Mobai nodded.

As long as the Divine Wood Sect still recruits loose cultivators, it doesn’t matter who they send for recruitment.

He isn’t boasting, but although there are a good number of Qi Cultivation experts at the eighth or ninth layer in the market now, when it comes to creating talismans, he is definitely superior compared to these loose cultivators after six months of hard training at the Cinnabarite Institute.

During that half a year, besides switching over to the Pure Yang Scroll, he sought guidance from Luan Jingsheng.

With Luan Jingsheng’s assistance, he immersed himself in studying the three fundamental talisman books.

Not only could he now produce the five types of Life Talisman, but he was also able to produce the “Crimson Flame Talisman” and the “Sword Qi Talisman” which Qi Rui had given him.

If it weren’t for the “Crimson Flame Sword Talisman’s” creation requires a unique ink for talisman making, available only at the Giant Tree Ridge, Chen Mobai might have already completed this high-end Rank-t talisman.

Indeed, his thinking proved to be perfectly on point.

After enjoying a hearty meal courtesy of the four major cultivation families, the two True Disciples appointed by the Divine Wood Sect proceeded in the afternoon to have their store cleared and prepared for the talisman making stage.

Meanwhile, they occupied a vacant lot down the middle of the streets in the Southstream Market.

One swipe from Yuan Chiye’s storage bag sent a streak of light flashing across.

Out of nowhere, a platform suddenly rose from the central space of the vacant lot, large enough to accommodate two to three people.

“Is that the ’Spirit Root Testing Platform’?”

Qi Er, who was beside Chen Mobai, asked, an expression of anticipation in his eyes.

There was no need to ask. Just by the name alone, Chen Mobai understood

what it was.

It should be the magic artifact used in the Tianhe Realm to measure a cultivator’s Spiritual Root Attributes.

Being so huge probably meant that it was faster and more precise compared to the spirit-testing instrument he had.

just as Chen Mobai was thinking about it, the two representatives of the Divine Wood Sect made their way to one side. Immediately, disciples from the sect brought over two chairs and placed them behind them.

“Our Divine Wood Sect opens its mountain gate wide to welcome all loose cultivators. As long as your Spirit Root is suitable and you have not committed any grave sins from the Demon Path, all are welcomed to enter our sect!” Yuan Chiye’s proclamation was loud and clear, ensuring everyone on the street could hear it.

“Now, let’s begin with the males and females of suitable ages from the four major families to test their Spirit Roots.”

The moment his words fell, the four prearranged queues began to move forward.

With either anxious or anticipatory feelings, one by one, they stepped onto the Spirit Root Testing Platform.

The first one up was a youngster from the Liu family.

It seemed like someone had briefed him previously as he instantly sat cross-legged on the Spirit Root Testing Platform as soon as he got up there, beginning to meditate and circulate his Spiritual Energy.

About two to three minutes later, just as Chen Mobai was getting bored and about to yawn, the Spirit Root Testing Platform lit up with a four-colored light. “False Spiritual Root of four elements: Metal, Wood, Water, and Fire.” Seeing this, although Yuan Chiye shook his head slightly, he still gave the Liu family some face by signaling for the youngster from the platform. He extended a hand and checked the youngster’s bone age.

“Aged sixteen, Qi Cultivation at the third layer, borderline acceptable for our sect.”

Hearing this, a heavy burden seemed to have been lifted off the face of the leader of the Liu family, reflected in the form of a relieved smile.

Chen Mobai was somewhat puzzled; didn’t they still have to pass the talisman-making assessment? Yet from the looks of it, it seemed as if the youngster had already secured a spot in the Divine Wood Sect.

But what surprised him even more was the crude construction of this Spirit Root Testing Platform.

Can’t it read out the Spirit Root Attribute values?

Chen Mobai thought he may be misunderstanding something, so he continued to observe.

As the second, third, and fourth individuals stepped onto the platform, the Spirit Root Testing Platform continued to shine only according to their Five Elements Spiritual Root, revealing the Spirit Root Attributes of the individuals but not their specific values.

He had a full understanding now. It seemed that the spirit-testing instrument in his bag might be considered quite ahead of its time in the Tianhe Realm.

After all the individuals from the four major families had been tested, the best Spirit Root discovered was a Three Spiritual Root from the Liu family.

In this round, Yuan Chiye recruited thirteen disciples, and seemed to be pretty satisfied with the only individual bearing a three attribute True Spirit Root. Not only did he ask him to stand by his side, but he also assured the head of the Liu family in a friendly manner that the next time the Divine Wood Sect has surplus Foundation Building Pills, they would consider inviting their family to bid for it.

Next up, it was time for the Spirit Root testing of the loose cultivators..
