The Taoist boy's tone was not as casual as before, but instead full of respect.
Even the way she addressed him had an extra word "please" and "Miss Liu" compared to others.
Because he remembered this person, she was Senior Brother Liu Anliu's biological sister.
And Senior Brother Liu Anliu is a genius from the outer sect!
Liu Ruyan, wearing a gorgeous long dress, walked forward leisurely. Although her movements were slow, no one around her, whether the Taoist children or the stationed soldiers, dared to hurry her.
Even the people in the audience held their breath, wanting to see if this genius from the martial arts academy could pass the screening.
Liu Ruyan slowly stretched out her fair right hand and gently pressed it on the Immortal Stone. Suddenly, the Immortal Stone, which had been silent, shone brightly.
Two rays of light, one red and one blue, instantly climbed up from the bottom of the stone. In just a blink of an eye, they had crossed half of the stone. Not long after, they reached two-thirds of the stone, and only then did they gradually slow down.
Finally slowly approaching the top.
The Taoist boy standing by was dumbfounded watching this scene. The common people below didn't know what this meant, but he knew.
"Boom!"
A senior brother in the audience knocked on the table to remind him, and the Taoist boy came to his senses and shouted with almost all his strength:
"Ms. Liu Ruyan, with dual spiritual roots of fire and wood, passed the test!"
When they heard that the test had been passed, the audience suddenly became noisy.
There were even gong and drum bands that had been prepared nearby and began to play and beat the instruments.
Noisy voices of congratulations rang out all around. Liu Ruyan stood on the stage, looking down, but her face showed no emotion, as if she had known the result for a long time.
"Miss Liu, please come this way." A true outer disciple of Huashen Sect hurried forward to respond.
"Ah."
Liu Ruyan nodded slightly and then walked to the other side.
She knew that from this moment on, she was no longer the so-called genius of the martial arts academy, but the immortal cultivation genius Liu Ruyan.
Below the ring, Xia Fan was completely dumbfounded watching this scene.
Tang Ansheng, who was not far away, was watching silently. His gaze did not linger on Liu Ruyan's eyes at all, but was staring at the Immortal Stone.
"Two lights of different colors are lit up. What is the principle behind this?"
"One red and one green correspond to the dual spiritual roots of fire and wood. Judging from how much these people value it, this Liu Ruyan should be a genius."
“But how do you test it?”
"There are too few samples at the moment, so I need to observe them more. It would be best if I could touch them myself."
Tang Ansheng's current body is dead. If he wants to pass the test of the Ascension Ceremony, he can only resort to some "devious ways".
…………
At the top of the restaurant not far from the arena, Wei Tao, He Wei and others were staring at the test below. When they saw Liu Ruyan passed the test, City Lord He Wei was the first to bow and say:
"Congratulations to Dean Liu, congratulations to Junior Brother Liu."
The dean of the martial arts academy, Liu Tongzhi, waved his hand and said, "Thank you, City Lord."
"Not at all." He Wei said quickly, "Even if I saw it for the second time, I still felt like I was in a dream."
Yes, this was not Liu Ruyan’s first test, but her second test. The first qualification test was conducted yesterday.
Not only her, but also the Dean of the Martial Academy Liu Zhidong and his wife were tested yesterday.
After all, he is Liu An's blood relative, and Wei Tao is not a conservative person. Of course, he opened the back door directly and tested it yesterday.
However, among all the people who took the test, only Liu Ruyan was qualified. But even so, everyone, including Wei Tao, was shocked.
"Well, my sister's qualifications are much better than mine." Liu An said.
Liu Ruyan was born to his parents the year he ran away from home. Although he had never met her before, they had similar blood running through their bodies. As soon as Liu An saw this little sister, he fell in love with her.
"Junior Sister Liu's qualifications are the best among all the people I have ever seen."
Wei Tao had a look of joy in his eyes, and said, "In the past hundred years, among the new recruits we have recruited, there are no more than one handful who can surpass Junior Sister Liu in terms of aptitude alone."
"Ah, is it so good?" asked Liu Zhitong, the dean of the Martial Academy.
He just heard others say that his daughter was talented, but he didn't know exactly how talented she was.
Listening to it now, it seems like heaven has risen.
In the past hundred years, the number of people that Huashen Sect could surpass the opponent is no more than one palm?
He didn't know anything else, but he knew about the Huashen Sect. It was the sky within a radius of ten thousand miles, and countless sects and countries below had to look up to it.
"Dean Liu, you are not a cultivator, so naturally you don't understand this."
City Lord He Wei patiently explained: "If you want to embark on the path of immortality, you must have spiritual roots, and these spiritual roots are divided into the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth. Of course, there are other spiritual roots such as wind and thunder."
"It's just that the alien spiritual roots are too rare, so let's not discuss it for now."
"Oh." The Dean of the Martial Academy, Liu Tongzhi, felt like a country bumpkin and could only listen to the other party's explanation silently.
However, this feeling is also very strange. Although the city lord He Wei didn't say anything about them before, he always looked down on them. Let alone other things, it was not easy for him to take the initiative to talk to them.
Where can I explain these "common sense" to him patiently like I do now?
Liu Tongzhi knew that this was all because of his son and his daughter. The truth that a father's status is determined by his sons was fully revealed at this moment.
Without saying anything else, the local county magistrate, Luo Bufan, was higher than him in terms of status and position, but he was not even qualified to attend the banquet. You can imagine what happened.
"The more spiritual roots one has, the worse one's aptitude for cultivating immortals. The fewer spiritual roots one has, the better one's aptitude is." said the city lord He Wei.
Liu Dingzhi looked at his son and asked, "What is your spiritual root, An'er?"
"Father, I have dual spiritual roots of earth and wood." Liu An said.
Wei Tao, who was sitting nearby, also smiled and said, "I am the same as Junior Brother Liu, I also have dual spiritual roots of earth and wood."
"I have dual spiritual roots of water and wood." Yan Ting seemed unconvinced and spoke up.
Seeing that everyone had said this, only the city lord He Wei smiled bitterly and said, "Alas, you all have double spiritual roots, and I am the only one with three spiritual roots."
"Ah, An'er, you also have dual spiritual roots, but Ruyan..."
Seeing Liu's puzzled look, Wei Tao knew that he might have misunderstood something, so he said, "Haha, does Dean Liu think that there are too many dual spiritual roots?"
"Um... a little bit." Liu Zhitong was about to say, but when he saw the distressed look on City Lord He Wei's face, he immediately changed his words, "No, no."
"Dean Liu, you don't have to take care of me. I'm already in my forties. Are you afraid of losing face?"
City Lord He Wei said, "Let me talk about this. The sect has recruited quite a few dual-spiritual root disciples in recent years."
“But between these two spiritual roots, there are also high and low ones.”
"If it's dual spiritual roots of water and fire, which conflict with each other, I'm afraid that in terms of cultivation speed alone, I can't even pull away from someone like me who has three spiritual roots."
City Lord He Wei continued, "But Junior Sister Liu has dual spiritual roots of fire and wood. Wood grows with the help of fire, and fire grows with the help of wood. Her cultivation speed is much faster than that of ordinary dual spiritual roots."
"And the most important thing is the Immortal Stone."
"What's wrong with the fairy stone?" Liu Zhizhi asked.
"Look at that light. It's more than half of the stone body. It's a genius at the same level. More than two-thirds is a genius. Junior Sister Liu just barely reached the top."
The city lord He Wei's simple statement made Liu Zhidao realize how talented his daughter was.
Wei Tao was also very happy at this moment, "Junior Sister Liu's aptitude may rank among the top ten in the past hundred years."
"My contribution is not small. I will be able to gather all the materials for the foundation-building pill as soon as I return to the sect. I believe I will be able to break through the Qi training and enter the foundation-building stage soon."
Several people were chatting with each other, each of them was happy in their own way.
And off the stage, the ascension ceremony was still going on.
"Next person, Xia Fan from Shijia Village, please come forward!"
Chapter 4 My Grandfather (k)
The Taoist boy on the stage shouted, "Next, Xia Fan from Shijia Village, please come forward."
"It's my turn." Xia Fan muttered to himself, then walked forward.
"Stretch out your palm and place it on the Immortal Stone." The Taoist boy instructed.
Perhaps because the noise caused by Liu Ruyan earlier was too loud, many people were still in shock.
The Taoist boy in charge of the Ascension Ceremony also spoke in a much softer tone than before. After all, if this place could produce a Liu Ruyan, it might not be impossible for it to produce another Zhang Ruyan or Li Ruyan.
With Liu Ruyan's qualifications, it was a sure thing that she would become an inner sect disciple, and there might even be elders coming out to accept her as a disciple. This was definitely not someone that these menial Taoist boys could afford to offend.
Following the Taoist boy's instructions, Xia Fan stretched out his hand and pressed on the Questioning Immortal Stone. He felt a cool touch, and then a warm current seemed to flow through his body.
"Wow."
Five rays of light suddenly lit up on the Immortal Stone. The five colors of white, green, black, red and yellow suddenly climbed up from the bottom of the stone, but the speed was as fast as a turtle. It stopped before reaching one-fifth of the entire stone body, and then never moved again.
Xia Fan didn't understand what this meant, but the people in front of him, except Liu Ruyan, didn't make any noise, so he thought this was a good thing anyway.
"Did I pass the selection for the Ascension Ceremony?" Xia Fan had a hint of guess in his mind, and joy instantly filled his heart.
But when he looked at the Taoist boy in charge, he felt a pang in his heart, "Oh no, why is this Taoist boy so hesitant?"
So Xia Fan took the initiative to ask: "Master, have I passed this?"
The Taoist boy on the stage hesitated for a while and said, "Your situation is a little special. Wait a minute, I will ask my senior brother."
The people in the audience didn't understand what was going on, but since the Immortal Master hadn't said anything, they didn't dare say anything. Several people who had spoken or acted recklessly before had suffered miserable consequences.
Xia Fan only saw the Taoist boy take out a palm-sized sign from his arms, then slap it upwards, and then he didn't move again.
"Am I doing this well or badly?"
Xia Fan felt a little nervous, but he was just a mortal and had no right to say anything. He could only wait here anxiously.
At the restaurant nearby, Wei Tao felt the sign hanging on his waist tremble. He looked down and found that the line of people under the age of 20 in the Ascension Ceremony had not moved for a while. He knew that something special had happened.
So he said, "My fellow brothers and sisters, I'm going to go downstairs to take care of some matters. You don't have to worry about me."
"Senior Brother Wei, I'll go with you." Liu An said.
After all, it is the Ascension Ceremony. Although there are Taoist children handling it, it would be unreasonable for them not to watch it.
"It's okay. When Junior Sister Liu comes up later, you should talk to her about the sect's rules to avoid any accidents when we get there." Wei Tao said.
Logically speaking, Liu Ruyan has not yet entered the Huashen Sect and her name has not yet been recorded, so she cannot be called his junior sister.
But Wei Tao has been practicing Taoism for many years and knows that practicing Taoism also requires favors. Calling her "Junior Sister" can be a small favor to her.
Sure enough, upon hearing what he said, Liu An bowed and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Wei."
Wei Tao jumped down from the roof of the restaurant and reached the stage in a few steps. When the people around saw him dressed like this, they knew that another immortal master had arrived, and they immediately held their breath and dared not speak loudly.
"What's the matter?"
"Brother, please look." The Taoist boy pointed at the Immortal Stone and then said.
Wei Tao immediately understood the situation, then looked at Xia Fan and said, "What's your name?"
"Xia Fan." Xia Fan answered honestly.
The man in front of him, no matter the way he was dressed or his aura, was obviously an "immortal master" among "immortal masters". Xia Fan dared not offend him.
"Xia Fan, Xia Fan, what a nice name."
Wei Tao praised him, and then said, "I know your doubts, let me talk to you about it for now."
"Master, please speak." Xia Fan said.
"To cultivate immortality one needs spiritual roots. Only those who possess spiritual roots can embark on the path to immortality." Wei Tao pointed at the Immortal Questioning Stone and continued, "This Immortal Questioning Stone can measure the spiritual roots of mortals."
"Master, what is my spiritual root?"
Wei Tao did not answer Xia Fan's doubts first, but continued: "The fewer spiritual roots, the higher the talent, and the more spiritual roots, the lower the talent."
"Except for special spiritual roots, there are roughly five types of spiritual roots that mortals possess."
"The five colors of white, green, black, red and yellow correspond to the five spiritual roots of gold, wood, water, fire and earth. You have the talent of the five spiritual roots."
When Xia Fan heard Wei Tao's words, he felt a chill in his heart.
The more spiritual roots one has, the worse his talent is. If he has all five roots, doesn’t that mean he is the worst?
