Chapter 414 - Testing Spirit Roots (1)

When Long Xuan and Zhan Yufeng entered the great hall, two hours had already passed. In the great hall sat five men and two women, and in the middle sat an extremely beautiful man with long eyebrows like willow trees, a body like jade tree, and a head of silver hair that was scattered behind him. He was the current Sect Leader of the Qing Yun Sect, Lei Yan, with a cultivation at the late stage of the Nascent Soul Stage.

It had always been a deep pain in Lei Yan's heart when he first became a Grade Nine Sect. Back then, Qifeng Mountain was a great sect of the cultivation world, but after ten thousand years, the current Qing Yun Sect was not only a low level sect, even the development of the entire sect was somewhat powerless to follow that. This made the self-confident Lei Yan feel a deep sense of powerlessness, if he wanted to develop a sect, not only did he need a profound cultivation method as the foundation, but his talented disciples were also the key to the rise of the sect.

The quality of a person's spiritual roots would determine how far a person could walk on the path of cultivation in the future. Although one could sometimes achieve some results with the help of external forces, the path of cultivation was one's own.

Especially Lei Yan who was sitting in the middle of the hall, for the past few hundred years, although Earth had teleported some people every twenty years, they had all been carefully selected. In these past few years, the cultivators that were teleporting over from Earth had all performed extremely well in the various big sects, and the cultivators on Earth's line had almost privatized themselves. Although there were only a few complaints from the low level sects, they were still unable to change this fact, and this time, their sect was the one that sent a cultivator from Earth over, which naturally made everyone extremely excited.

When Lei Yan saw his junior brothers and sisters staring at Long Xuan in the great hall with heated gazes, he couldn't help but start laughing bitterly. Who wouldn't want to accept a disciple with extremely high talent, but in all these years, the Qing Yun Sect had been filled with ordinary talents, and he and the group of junior brothers and sisters were all ordinary people. Otherwise, Qifeng Mountain wouldn't have only been a Grade Nine Sect all these years.

After understanding all of this, Lei Yan chuckled to Long Xuan: "Long Xuan, since you're in our sect, then it's fate. According to the rules of the cultivation world, you are now my Qifeng Mountain's Indoor Disciple, and Indoor Disciple needs to take a master. Out of the seven of us, which one of us do you want to take as your master?"

Hearing Lei Yan say this, Long Xuan couldn't help but be surprised. Although this was the first time he had experienced such a thing, but didn't the things that he had read on TV and in the books mean that his master had chosen his disciple? Why did he still have the choice to choose a master after he arrived here? Seeing that the seven people sitting there were all looking at him with excitement, Long Xuan couldn't help but to hesitate.

Just as Long Xuan was hesitating, a middle-aged man sitting beside him said: "Head senior brother, although Long Xuan has already become our Qifeng Mountain, he must have just arrived. How about we first test his spirit root before deciding?"

This person was the Dragon Head Peak's Head Elder, Ji Su. He was mainly in charge of the sect's disciplinary duties and was extremely stiff and stubborn. However, because he dealt with matters impartially, he was an important figure in the Qifeng Mountain.

Hearing Ji Su's words, Lei Yan could not help but nod his head, he looked at the other junior brothers and sisters around him, and when he saw them, he nodded too. Then he smiled at Long Xuan: "Long Xuan, are you willing to test your spirit roots in the hall?"

Long Xuan nodded and replied, "Disciple is willing." Actually, he also wanted to know about his current spiritual roots. Even though he had consumed the Five Elements Fruit, he was completely unaware of his spiritual roots.

Upon hearing Long Xuan's agreement, Lei Yan immediately smiled and stood up from his seat. He walked to in front of Long Xuan, waved his right hand in the air, and a white light flashed, causing Long Xuan to realize that there was a testing machine that looked a little like the one he had seen in Earth Hospital, causing him to be stunned. Lei Yan, on the other hand, laughed lightly: "This is a spirit testing machine that specializes in detecting spirit roots, it is something that has been invented by the cultivation world over these years.

Looking at Long Xuan's slightly dazed look, he pointed to a few marks on the machine and said, "Spirit roots are also divided into three, six, nine ranks, and are divided into the metal, wood, water, fire, and earth elements. Therefore, there are five rows of indicators here, and as long as you inject your own Innate Qi into the valve of this machine, the corresponding indicators will light up.

After hearing Lei Yan's words, although he was astonished in his heart at how advanced the cultivation technology was, he still walked forward and extended his hand to grab that blue jade handle, then released the true energy within his body. At this moment, all of the elders sitting behind Lei Yan had already opened their eyes wide, wanting to see how many indicators Long Xuan could light up.

When the first red light lit up, everyone's expression didn't change much. This was the indicator for the metal spirit root, and it was even at 1-star level. It was the most common type of single attribute spirit root, and was a standard that everyone who wanted to cultivate had to meet.

When the second red light lit up, everyone's expression was very calm. This standard was close to the level of the ordinary disciples outside.

When the third red light lit up, everyone's face was filled with joy. This standard was close to the level of the Indoor Disciple, and this talent could be considered above average in the current Qing Yun Sect.

When the fourth red light lit up, everyone's expression became even more joyous. This was already the standard of direct disciples, in the entire Qifeng Mountain, there were no more than ten of these geniuses, and all of them were direct disciples from different peaks.

When the fifth red light lit up, everyone's face was filled with joy. This standard already exceeded the standards of the Qifeng Mountain, and currently, none of the disciples in the Qifeng Mountain had this kind of Inherent Skill. All the elders looked at Long Xuan with eyes that were burning hot.
