Chapter 10 Spirit Root Test

Chapter 10 Spirit Root Test

The results of this test would both crush some dreams and allow others to soar above their peers. To become an outer disciple of the Great Xia Sword Sect, even in the role of a service disciple, the minimum requirement is having a three-element mixed spirit root!

Three-element spiritual roots were already beyond what other sects accepted. Disciples with such spirit roots cultivated at a significantly slower pace than those with dual-element true spirit roots. Even with significant resource investments, whether they could break through to the Qi Refining stage in their lifetime remained uncertain.

After testing nearly dozens of individuals, the results revealed that, aside from a few with rudimentary spirit roots featuring three or four elements, most didnt possess any spirit roots at all.

All of a sudden!

Among the people lined up beside Li Guanqi, a young boy dressed in tattered hemp clothing held a crystal ball in his palm. Suddenly, it emitted a dazzling golden and blue halo! The disciple conducting the spirit root test couldnt help but smile and declared boldly,

This is Li Niu, aged thirteen, and he has a Metal-Water True Spirit Root!

He can join either the Heavenly Metal Peak or the Heavenly Water Peak!

Starting today, he will officially become an outer disciple of the Great Xia Sword Sect, and his parents will receive a reward of one hundred gold and silver coins.

Finally, a youth with a dual-element spirit root had appeared! Whats more, it was a Metal-Water spirit root, a combination of Metal and Water attributes, with Metal as the dominant one!

On the viewing platform, a man dressed in a golden robe turned to the elder of the Heavenly Water Peak and said with a smile,

Elder Lan, why dont we welcome this disciple into our Heavenly Metal Peak?

After all, its not as if hes a female cultivator; let us take the spotlight this time.

The elder in the ice-blue robe grumbled, Meng Linhai! Alright, the price will be five hundred spirit stones.

Meng Linhai, the elder from the Heavenly Metal Peak, chuckled and waved his hand, and a storage pouch flew out.

Ive given it, havent I? Elder Lan, wont you offer a discount between friends? After all, were all from the same sect, haha, he chuckled.

Other elders wore slight smiles on their faces.

Someone whispered, I wonder how many of this years disciples will have spirit roots.

Before the words even fully left their lips, someone nearby added, Its hard to predict how many there will be. Heaven tier spirit roots dont appear that easily.Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

Getting a few true spirit roots would be good. Even having one heaven tier spirit root is like finding a needle in a haystack.

Whats your name?

The young man, dressed in white with a handsome face and well-defined features, had slightly thin lips that gave off an unpleasant feeling. The young man respectfully bowed to the man and then turned his head to glance at Li Guanqi, a playful smile playing on his lips as he spoke softly.

Elder, my name is Zhao Yuanlin!

Li Guanqi, who had been looking down, suddenly trembled!

Meanwhile, Zhao Yuanlins smile only became more radiant.

Meng Linhai wore a pleased expression and said, Very well! In the future, you will join my Heavenly Metal Peak and officially become an inner disciple. I can even take you as my core disciple. How does that sound?

Meng Linhai, being a Golden Core stage cultivator, naturally had the authority to take him as a disciple.

However, Zhao Yuanlin was proud, and a mere Golden Core elder from the Heavenly Metal Peak couldnt easily pique his interest. His goal was to become the personal disciple of the Peak Master of the Heavenly Metal Peak! He simply smiled faintly and did not answer.

Meng Linhai also smiled faintly and let it go. It was common for geniuses to have high spirits, and he could understand that. As for whether the Peak Master of the Heavenly Metal Peak would take an interest in him, that was another matter. Seeing that Zhao Yuanlin had no intention of leaving immediately, Meng Linhai asked with some curiosity, What? Do you want to stay here for a while longer?

A glint flashed in Zhao Yuanlins eyes, and he replied loudly, Of course, this place has someone from my hometown, and Id like to see them.

Meng Linhai didnt think too much of it, assuming it was just someone from the same hometown who wanted to look out for each other in the sect, which was not uncommon. He didnt say much about it.

Oh? You have a good relationship with this person?

However, what Zhao Yuanlin said next was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake.

One stone caused a thousand ripples!

No, no, no, I dont know someone who would trade their own sisters life for just ten copper coins. Im not familiar with such a person.

Im just curious if the Great Xia Sword Sect would accept someone like that.

This statement immediately caused all the elders to frown!

Their expressions gradually turned fierce. If it was indeed such a person, regardless of their extraordinary talent, the Great Xia Sword Sect would never accept them!

In an instant, all the disciples who had not yet been tested for their spirit roots were in an uproar!
