Seeing Xia Fan sighing, Wei Tao shook his head and said, "Your aptitude is among the worst. If it were many years ago, when the only qualification for joining our sect was to have spiritual roots, we could have led you into the immortal path."

"Then now..."

"Now, our sect requires at least four spiritual roots."

"This..." Xia Fan was stunned. He felt like he was on a roller coaster.

Reaching the peak one second and falling into the abyss the next.

Wei Tao sighed and said, "It's not easy for mortals. If you are willing, you can join our Huashen Sect, but you have to start as a menial disciple."

"The servants of our sect can also practice. If they succeed in their practice, they can also become outer disciples of our Huashen Sect."

"It's just hard work, it depends on your choice."

Wei Tao also rose from the bottom, so when he saw the young man Xia Fan, he couldn't bear it and gave him a chance, a chance to do odd jobs.

Don't underestimate menial jobs. Many people want to be them but fail to do so.

This is also the case with Wei Tao. If it were any other person in charge of the Ascension Ceremony, they would not care at all. A mere loser with five spiritual roots, the Huashen Sect would have as many as they want.

However, those who have become menial workers may not want to continue doing so.

This is the case with the menial disciples of Huashen Sect: those outside want to come in, while those inside want to leave.

But if I don't do menial work and don't have this opportunity, I will never be able to become an immortal in this life.

Xia Fan said with difficulty: "I want to discuss this with my grandfather."

"Okay." Wei Tao nodded. "The Ascension Ceremony will last for three days. If you are willing to come, you can come to the Martial Academy on the last day. If you miss it..."

He didn't finish his words, but his meaning was very clear: if you miss it, you really miss it.

After finishing speaking, Wei Tao looked at the Taoist boy again and added: "If there are still those who have the talent of the five spiritual roots, then say so."

"I will follow your orders, senior brother." The Taoist boy bowed and said.

Wei Tao flicked his sleeves and disappeared from the ring.

"Xia...Junior Brother, please make way. There are people behind who need to be measured." The Taoist boy thought about it and finally addressed him as Junior Brother.

No mortal would miss the opportunity to become an immortal.

After being sent away, Xia Fan immediately found Tang Ansheng.

"How is it? What are your qualifications?" Tang Ansheng asked.

There are two teams, those under 20 years old and those 20 years old and above, so Tang Ansheng doesn't know what Xia Fan's qualifications are.

"Master, it's like this..."

Xia Fan briefly explained what had just happened, and then asked, "Grandpa, do you think I should go?"

Tang Ansheng looked at him: "When you asked this question, you already had the answer deep in your heart."

Xia Fan was stunned. Did he really have the answer deep in his heart?

Does he want to go?

After thinking carefully for a moment, he said: "Old man, I want to go. I have been here for sixteen years. I want to see the scenery outside. I want to know what it means to be a cultivator."

"Maybe if I go, I will regret it for a long time."

"But if I don't go, I will regret it for the rest of my life."

Xia Fan said, "When I am old, one day when I sit on a chair in the middle of the yard, I may regret why I didn't choose to go today."

Tang Ansheng patted him on the shoulder, thinking that you couldn't tell this kid was good at speaking.

"Go ahead, but first, give me your hand."

"what?!"

Xia Fan was still sighing, but he didn't expect Tang Ansheng to say this.

"No, old man, please give me some advice. Why do I feel like the emotions I just expressed were in vain?" Xia Fan muttered in his heart, but still stretched out his hand.

Tang Ansheng reached out and placed his hand on his pulse.

"Old man, you can also take my pulse? But why are you taking my pulse?"

"Don't make noise." Tang Ansheng instructed, "Don't move, something's wrong."

Then a magical scene happened on the spot. The two of them stood there motionless. If it were just that, it would be fine, but the problem was that Tang Ansheng was now queuing.

If it were anyone else, they would have been driven out by the patrolling soldiers.

But they just received news that this young man Xia Fan was not ordinary and was most likely someone who had passed the Ascension Ceremony, so he must not be offended.

But the team has to move forward.

So the patrolling officers and soldiers simply sent two people to stand next to Tang Ansheng and Xia Fan. Every time the team moved forward, one person would hold the other and move forward one position.

This made the young man Xia Fan feel a little embarrassed.

"Old man, when is a good time?"

"Right away." Tang Ansheng said.

He was not taking Xia Fan's pulse, but using his internal energy to explore Xia Fan's physical condition.

It’s just that his body is dead, and his internal energy accumulates very slowly, and cannot be wasted, so this is the case.

"What did you feel when you reached out and touched the stone just now?" Tang Ansheng asked.

"My hands are cold."

"anything else?"

"Uh...it seems like there is a very surrounding heat current traveling around inside my body." Xia Fan replied.

Tang Ansheng controlled his internal energy and carefully explored the inside of Xia Fan's body.

"This kid said he has five spiritual roots, so how did the stone measure it?"

"The inside of the body is no different from that of a normal person."

Tang Ansheng thought to himself: "This spiritual root should not be a physical entity. Perhaps it is something illusory, or it may be a gene DNA fragment or something like that. My detection method is too poor now, so I can't find it."

“You can only wait until you get on stage and touch it yourself.”

After searching for a while and finding nothing, Tang Ansheng silently withdrew his hand.

Xia Fan asked, "Grandpa, am I sick? Can it be cured?"

"I'm not sick." Tang Ansheng waved his hand, asking him not to disturb him.

Seeing this, the officers and soldiers on the side also retreated silently.

"It's a pity that I can't see the destiny of this kid. [Knowing Destiny] tells me that it's not enough to pay the price."

Tang Ansheng had thought about checking Xia Fan's destiny before, but the price of [Knowing Destiny] was not enough.

"I don't know if it's because I don't have enough internal strength, or if this kid is too special."

Tang Ansheng shook his head, and then heard a Taoist boy calling his name on the ring.

"The next person, Xia Ansheng from Shijia Village, please come forward."

Tang Ansheng turned around and told Xia Fan: "Wait here, I'll be down soon."

"Oh, good old man."

As soon as Tang Ansheng stepped onto the stage, the crowd watching below immediately made a noisy noise.

"Hiss, how old is this old man? He's also here to test his fate with the immortals?"

"I think he's seventy. For every five years older than twenty, he has to pay an extra ounce of silver. How much does that cost?"

"The old man is really rich."

"Rich? I think you are crazy about becoming an immortal."

Although the immortal master said that people over 20 years old can come for the test as long as they pay, the people who come for the test are currently around 40 years old at most. It was really unexpected that a 70-year-old person came up out of nowhere.

Even the Taoist boy on the ring was stunned for a moment.

"If you don't become an immortal by the age of twenty, your life will be hopeless."

"The reason why Senior Brother allowed those over 20 to take the test was just to collect some silver."

The Taoist boy thought to himself: "After all, we are just cultivators, not real immortals, and we still need to eat."

"This old man may still be holding on to that illusory fantasy."

The Taoist boy thought in his heart, but said expressionlessly: "Stretch out your palm and place it on the Immortal Questioning Stone."

When Tang Ansheng heard this, he tremblingly stretched out his withered hand and pressed it on the Questioning Immortal Stone.

In an instant, a very slight stream of heat flowed from the palm of his hand into his body.

The air flowed through all his limbs and bones, and then was retracted.

There was no response when asked about the immortal stone.

The Taoist boy was not surprised to see this and shouted, "Next..."

Before he could finish, Tang Ansheng put his hand on it again.

"Don't waste time, old man. There is no difference between testing the Immortal Stone once and twice...difference?!"

"Wow!"

Unlike the last time, this time a pale green light suddenly appeared on the Immortal Stone. It was not just one line or one strand, but the entire stone was glowing with this color.

The light rose from the bottom and covered the entire Immortal Stone in just a moment.

In an instant, the area within a hundred meters was shrouded in a bleak green color, and even the midday sunlight was blocked out!

Not to mention the common people below, even the Taoist children above had never seen such a scene.

"Huh? Not good!"

Wei Tao, who had returned to the restaurant to drink tea, was shocked when he saw this situation. He was not paying attention and the teacup in his hand was crushed.

"Whoa! Whoa!"

He stretched out his hand and thirteen flags immediately flew out from where he was. The flags grew bigger and bigger, and in the blink of an eye they were more than one meter tall.

"The Vast Sea Dragon Flag?" Liu An was also surprised when he saw this. "Brother, are there enemies attacking us?"

"What enemy? It's a genius, a peerless genius with a natural spiritual root!"

In just a flash, Wei Tao came to Tang Ansheng's side, stretched out his hand to grab his shoulder, and shouted: "Quick, quick, send him back to the sect immediately!"

"No, no!"

"It's too dangerous to go back to the sect. Send a message to the sect leader immediately and ask him to send someone to pick us up!"

"Quick!"

Without caring about much else, in just a moment, thirteen dragon flags unfolded, isolating the entire arena. Seeing this, Wei Tao breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked at Tang Ansheng and said, "Don't worry, old man. I am a disciple of the Huashen Sect and the person in charge of this Ascension Ceremony."

"Even if one has reached the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, it will not be able to break through my banner of Vast Sea Dragon."

"There are also three foundation-building masters who died under my command. It is enough to keep you safe for a short period of time."

Wei Tao looked excited. He had now met a genius with natural spiritual roots that Huashen Sect hadn't seen in a hundred years.

"God bless me, Wei Tao!"

"God bless my Huashen Sect!"

Chapter 4 Yuanying Zhenjun (k)

"Dang! Dang! Dang..."

In Huashen Sect, Qingfeng Mountain, the sound of huge bells rang out over and over again.

An outer disciple who was confused asked, "The bell rang thirteen times, what does this mean?"

"Also, this is the third time today, right?"

"I don't know. It should be a big deal, but it probably has nothing to do with us."
