After a long while, Yan Qingyang heard Daoist Yuping sigh. "Alright, I'll take you back to the sect and make you a service disciple. But that's all. From now on, you'll have to walk the rest of the way by yourself."

After saying this, Daoist Jade Screen waved her sleeve and sent Yan Qingyang flying onto her Jadeleaf Shuttle.

After that, he nodded to Ling Jiu Xiao and rose into the air.

Daoist Jade Screen flew with Yan Qingyang and soon arrived at the Cloud Flower Sect.

The Cloud Flower Sect was located on top of the Cloudflower Mountain. The mountain was very tall, with three large peaks and a dozen or so smaller ones. Clouds and mist lingered around the peaks, leaving only a few sharp points.

The occasional flash of light could be seen, and it was a disciple of the Cloudflower Sect flying on his sword.

When he got closer, he saw the whole picture.

Immortal qi lingered around the mountain as the trees were shady. There were many tall and short pavilions with red walls and many pavilions with water pavilions faintly appearing in the immortal mist.

Occasionally, a crane could be heard.

Looking at the familiar scene, Yan Qingyang felt a surge of excitement. This was the place where he had always trained in his previous life. This was the place where he had always cultivated.

Daoist Jade Screen thought that it was her first time in the sect and that she was shocked. She didn't seem to mind as she walked straight to a certain location and landed.

A disciple hurriedly came over and was about to speak when Daoist Jade Screen waved her hand and pointed at Yan Qingyang. "Take her and let her be with this year's new disciples. Also, don't let anyone know that I brought her here."

Saying that, without another word, he rose into the air and left.

The disciple was astonished. It had been many years since Daoist Master Yuping had last accepted a disciple. This time, they brought a young girl with them. They thought she was taking in a disciple, but she was just a mere service disciple.

Thus, the disciple carefully asked, "Junior sister, what qualifications do you have?"

"Five types of spiritual roots, all have one spiritual root." Yan Qingyang said clearly, neither servile nor overbearing.

"Ah!" That disciple was flabbergasted and could not keep his mouth shut for a long time. Finally, he chuckled, "Let's go junior sister. Now that all the disciples have returned, come with me to the central plaza."

Yan Qingyang said no more and followed the disciple. They met a large group of children after a few steps.

Most of those children were around ten years old, and they looked around in an odd way. They whispered in groups of two or three, and it was obvious that they were new disciples.

At this time, two people wearing the apparel of inner sect disciples walked over and shouted, "Be quiet, don't make any noise, come with me!"

After speaking, they led the group of children forward. After walking for a distance, they saw a gigantic immortal boat.

That immortal ship was about a hundred meters long and was entirely white. The immortal cranes and cloud patterns engraved on it were vivid and lifelike.

The children entered the immortal ship in succession. The immortal ship moved and slowly ascended into the sky. It turned around and flew toward the highest peak of the Cloud Flower Mountain.

Seeing that the immortal ship could fly, the children couldn't help but let out all sorts of exclamations and whispers once again.

Yan Qingyang stood alone in a corner with a calm expression, appearing out of place.

"Heh, a bunch of bumpkins!" A young girl dressed in red walked over with an arrogant expression. She stood beside Yan Qingyang and turned to look at him, her eyebrows raised as she arrogantly said, "I come from the Long Hidden City Lu Family, where are you from? I don't think you're as inexperienced as them, but you're also from a big family, right?"

Yan Qingyang shook his head. The Lu family of Dragon City was only a third-rate family. How could it be considered a big family?

The young girl spoke a few words to Yan Qingyang. When she saw that he didn't seem to care anymore, her face grew red from embarrassment.

At this moment, the ship stopped and the children disembarked in order.

The haughty young lady harrumphed and waved her sleeve, taking the lead to get off the Immortal Boat.

The immortal ship stopped at the central plaza of the Cloud Flower Sect. On the highest peak of the sect — Tianqing Peak.

Although Cloudflower Mountain had many mountain peaks, not every mountain peak was inhabited by humans.

There were three largest peaks on the mountain: the Tianqing Peak, the Hundred Refinement Peak, and the Scarlet Core Peak.

Tianqing Peak was the peak where the Sect Master resided. The Sect Master, Daoist Master Tian Qing, was proficient in the way of the sword.

The Hundred Smelting Peak's Peak Master was a Hundred Smelting Guild expert, proficient in refining. The Hundred Smelting Peak was responsible for providing magic treasures to the various peaks.

The Peak Master of Scarlet Core Peak was Spiritual Master Chi Dan, an expert in alchemy. The Scarlet Core Peak also supplied the medicinal pills of the various peaks.

Other than these three peaks, the others were much weaker. There was also Jade Screen Peak's Daoist Master.

Right now, the four Peak Masters were all seated upon it. In the middle, Spiritual Master Tianqing, Spiritual Master Scarlet Pill, and Dao Master Jade were seated on the left side, while the Hundred Smelting Guild was seated on the right side.

Yan Qingyang cast his gaze towards Adept Chi Dan. He was also his master in his past life. There was no infatuation in his eyes, but rather complexity that was hard to discern.

In his previous life, when he first entered the sect, Daoist Master Chi Dan was very good to him, but later on, she became more and more disgusted with him. When he was framed of colluding with the Devil Sect, she directly cut off his master-disciple relationship and expelled him from the sect.

When did she start to dislike him? It was probably when Luo Xing became her junior sister …

"Senior Brother, let's begin." At this time, Spiritual Master Chi Dan nodded to Dao Master Tian Qing.

Sage Chi Dan nodded. A disciple wearing an inner court uniform walked out and loudly shouted, "A disciple with a single spirit root will come out first!"

In the middle of the crowd, over 10 people slowly walked out. The Peak Masters discussed for a moment, then they fought to determine where these people would go.

One spirit root was considered a genius since it allowed one to cultivate quickly. In the future, more than a dozen disciples would be considered the leaders of this generation.

Once the disciples with two spiritual roots were allocated, they would have two spiritual roots. The disciples with spiritual roots would usually have better spirit capital and would directly enter the inner sect.

The proud young girl that had spoken to Yan Qingyang just now had fire and wood dual spirit roots. She had too many wood elements and had been assigned to Scarlet Pill Peak.

Next up was the Three Spiritual Root Disciples. Those with high spiritual roots usually directly entered the outer sect.

After them were the disciples with Four Spirit Roots and Five Spirit Roots. If they were talented, they would normally be assigned to the various peaks as service disciples. They would be called service disciples.

Among the disciples with Fire Spirit Roots, those with more Fire Spirit Roots were assigned to the Hundred Smelting Peak, the disciples with a little more Gold Spirit Roots were assigned to the Tian Qing Peak, and the disciples with more Wood Spirit Roots were assigned to the Red Core Peak.

Five types of spiritual roots like Yan Qingyang were randomly distributed evenly.

The disciple in charge of the distribution went up to Yan Qingyang and asked him a routine question, "What spirit root do you have? What's more important?" "What is your spiritual capital?"

"Five elemental spiritual roots, all one." Yan Qingyang said indifferently, neither servile nor overbearing.

Sure enough, they all received looks of surprise and disdain from all around.

"Tsk ~" The proud young lady rolled her eyes and curled her lips.

The new disciples were also discussing amongst themselves.

"With such low aptitude, can you still cultivate?" Isn't this just like a normal person? "

"How did she get in? "During the test, I came with five types of spiritual roots, and none of them exceeded five. All of them were eliminated."

"Hmph, look at her face just now. How strong did you think she was? Stop pretending! "

In fact, these discussions were only small in scope. After all, only this small group of people heard these words, and most of them were service disciples.

As for why the proud young girl could hear him, it was because she had been paying attention to Yan Qingyang.

Yan Qingyang's expression remained unchanged as he stood there. She had trained for so many years in her previous life. Although the initial stages were kept for that day, the later stages were set up and hunted down and imprisoned. What hadn't she experienced before? What was this mockery worth?

The disciples that were assigned to them glared at the crowd, and only then did they stop their discussions.

Very quickly, the disciples had been assigned. However, Daoist Master Tian Qing did not let everyone leave. Instead, he approached Sage Chi Dan and whispered a few words to him.

Spiritual Master Tian Qing said, "Junior Sister, is there still no Heaven's Mandate? Is your formation accurate or not? "
