Cultivation starts from being a ghost

Chapter 18 Spirit Test
Next, Wu Yue'er asked some of the family's short stories, gave some instructions, and then ordered the family to prepare dinner.

There was nothing to say all night. At the next day, there was a crowd of people in the school military field in Wanghai City. The majority of them were teenagers around ten years old. The officers and soldiers of the patrol battalion maintained order around them. Selling, there was a lot of people's voices for a while, so it was very lively.

At the beginning of time, the county lord accompanied a group of strangely dressed people into the school military field. Among these people, the group on the left was all dressed in Confucian robes. The robe is moon white, and the four followers are sky blue.

The team in the middle has the largest number of people, the two in front of the head are all dressed in elegant Chinese clothes, and the eight behind are all dressed up as warriors.

There are only three people on the far right, and the leading black-robed man is still shrouded in a vague black mist, giving people a gloomy feeling.

The county lord greeted several important figures to sit down on the Dianjiang stage, someone brought tea, Master Zhao walked up to the stage, signaled everyone to be quiet, and the noise was quickly subdued.

Then the county lord gave a simple lecture, and then announced the start of the fairy gate selection meeting. This scene made Qin Chuan feel in a trance, as if he had returned to a certain occasion in his previous life.

First of all, the three sects should give a brief introduction, and explain the conditions and number of new disciples to be recruited. Among the six members of the Haoran Sect, a middle-aged man with a three-wisp beard stood up first, and coughed twice in a false voice. An indescribable aura radiated out, and the thousands of people below immediately quieted down, but the big man in black robe not far away suddenly let out a cold snort, which made his awe-inspiring aura vent a lot.

The middle-aged man didn't care about what the black-robed man was doing, and started to talk, his voice was not loud, but everyone could hear him clearly, and his words seemed to contain some kind of magical power, which made people believe for no reason.

"... That's all for the situation of the Haoran Sect. This time, our Hai'an branch plans to recruit [-] new disciples in the nine cities and eighteen counties. There are only ten places in Wanghai City. Don't miss this opportunity. If you can Entering our Haoran Sect, the sect will naturally try its best to train you, and say that even if you cannot continue to practice due to aptitude, as long as you stay in the sect for ten years, you can directly obtain the title of scholar without taking an exam..."

Speaking of this, he deliberately paused, and the school army field really reacted strongly because of the last sentence, and more than [-]% of the people stood in the line in front of Haoranzong.

Scholars are still rare in this world. Qinjiawan has a large population, but except for the new old master, none of them has passed the exam, not even Lizheng Lord Qin Long. Qin Chuan has to admire Haoranzong's methods, This gimmick is too attractive to ordinary people. With the fame of "Xiu Cai", even if they fail the examination in the future, they are still qualified to work in the yamen, and even if they are not good enough, they can become a teacher in a rich family.

The conditions thrown by the Haoran Sect made the monks of the two nearby sects look extremely ugly. Whether they can choose a good cultivator seedling is related to the future inheritance and development of the sect. Although it is not too important to them personally, But people have to pay attention to face, if there are a lot of people there, but no one cares about them, they will inevitably be ridiculed by their colleagues in the future.

The bearded monk glanced triumphantly at the other two monks, unhurriedly took out a fan with a diameter nearly two feet long from the storage bag, and continued: "My spirit-testing fan is specially used for testing spirits. The magic weapon of the root, you youngsters hold the handle of the fan for three breaths, and you can measure the condition of your spiritual roots, and then everyone will line up and proceed in turn, I will let someone do a demonstration first!"

A blue-robed young man came out behind him, held the fan handle for three breaths, and as a result, four fan bones emitted light, among which the green one was the brightest, and the yellow one was the darkest.

"See, this means that his spiritual root is a mixed spirit root with four attributes, but the wood spirit root is good, which is not bad!"

Qin Chuan had a clear understanding in his heart. The so-called inspection of the qualifications of cultivating immortals is not only based on whether the spiritual root is pure or heterogeneous, but also the strength of the spiritual root. This is like a tree. Of course, it is not easy to grow if there are too many branches. , but if one of the branches becomes the trunk, it is also expected to grow into a towering tree.

The test did not start immediately, after all, the other two sects hadn't spoken yet.

I don't know if it was stimulated by the Haoran Sect, but the Sea King Sect threw out a very exciting condition from the very beginning: All disciples who choose the Sea King Sect can pay 100 taels of silver in advance as a settlement fee, and the number of recruits is 20.

When this condition was uttered, half of the people who originally stood in the team of Haoranzong joined the team of Haiwangzong. It is no wonder that these young people chose this way. It is enough to spend for a family of four for several years. Compared with the "scholar" fame that can only be obtained after more than ten years, many people are more willing to choose the benefits in front of them.

Haiwangzong raised this condition, and it must be said that they have a very thorough understanding of people's hearts, and they are worthy of being a business-based sect of cultivating immortals. Seeing this situation, the good mood of the Haoranzong monks is naturally not much left.

Some people are still waiting and watching, hoping that Yan Luozong can offer more favorable conditions, but the strange thing is that the monks in black robes seem to have become calmer. Except for the limit on the number of people, other conditions are not favorable. The two sects are completely unattractive.

Since then, the three test teams have basically been settled. The teams in front of Hao Ranzong and Haiwangzong have about 1000 to 300 people, while the team in front of Yan Luozong is sparsely populated with no more than 200 people. The monks of the three sects Without saying anything, Haiwangzong took out a palm-shaped magic weapon, and Yan Luozong took out a disc-shaped magic weapon, and the test officially began.

The Haoran Sect was the first to take the lead. When the fourth boy was detected, the spirit-testing fan emitted five colors of light, but these five lights were relatively dim. Obviously, the condition of the spirit root was not very good. The monk who presided over the selection put the boy in the in a pending position.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the teenagers with no spiritual roots left in frustration under the leadership of their family members. It was not until noon that seven teenagers with spiritual roots appeared, and one of the three teenagers with the best spiritual roots fell In Haiwangzong.

Qin Chuan and Zhao's brothers and sisters were relatively far behind in the queue. Wu Yue'er brought delicious meals for the dozen or so teenagers from Qinjiawan to enjoy. Some teenagers ate very little, and they were obviously nervous about this test.

The climax came in the afternoon when two teenagers with a surnamed Fang appeared in a family who had detected their spiritual roots. One of them was a good seedling of immortal cultivation with two spiritual roots of gold and wood.

Haiwangzong is also good, and found a three-spiritual root, a four-spiritual root, and two five-spiritual-rooted teenagers. At this time, all the [-] teenagers before Yan Luozong have been tested, and only four have been tested. The best situation is nothing but the four series of miscellaneous spirit roots with outstanding water attributes. The three monks of Yan Luozong are drinking tea while paying attention to the situation of the other two factions, and they don't seem to show embarrassment.

At dusk, it was finally the turn of Qin Chuan and his group, but the situation was not good. The Haoran Sect had already detected eleven people with spiritual roots, and three of them were to be determined, which meant that there were only two places left at most.

Zhao Jie was the first to go on stage ahead of all the young people in Qinjiawan. Among the crowd, Master Zhao and Wu Yueer both clenched their hands, watching their son holding the spirit-testing fan, obviously more nervous than the parties involved. , when the four-color light appeared on the spirit-testing fan, they all heaved a sigh of relief.

"Zhao Jie, the four spiritual roots of gold, water, wood and soil, the average strength of the spiritual roots is weak, to be determined!" In a word, the hearts of the couple hung up again, and the face of Zhao Jie, who had always been proud and arrogant, suddenly became extremely ugly. Desperately walked to the position to be determined.

The next one is Zhao Qian. The little girl doesn't know if it's because she's very nervous or if she's mentally good. She keeps looking around, and sometimes she teases Qin Chuan and the boys from Qinjiawan. She doesn't seem nervous at all. After a while, the spirit testing fan did not start testing until urged by the blue-robed monk.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths!
After three breaths, a dazzling blue light suddenly burst out from the fan, adding a magnificent color to the vast twilight.

With a "teng", the bearded monk and his companion stood up at the same time, and the spiritual testers of Haiwangzong and Yan Luozong couldn't sit still.

"Heavenly Spiritual Root, the Heavenly Spiritual Root of water attribute!"

The monks no longer had the calmness they had before, and they gathered around one after another, but the people from Haiwangzong and Yan Luozong were still separated by the monks from Haoranzong, so they had to return to their original positions in embarrassment, but the hotness in their eyes was still hard to hide.

The bearded cultivator directly grabbed Zhao Qian's little hand and looked left and right, as if he was looking at a treasure. It's no wonder that he lost his composure. A fairy seedling with a heavenly spirit root, with a probability of no one in billions, let him touch it. It is impossible not to be excited. With this kind of talent, as long as there are no mistakes, it is basically no problem to condense the golden core. Even if you cultivate into a Nascent Soul, there is a half chance. Monk, then from now on...

While he was daydreaming, a weak voice came from his ear, "Uncle, you hurt me!"

"Ah... sorry, your name is Zhao Qian, right? From now on, you can call me Brother Lu!"

"Hehe, I'm your Senior Brother Sun!" The Confucian robed monk next to him also interjected.

(Note: Normally, newcomer disciples should call Foundation Establishment Cultivator Master Uncle, but Zhao Qian will definitely become a direct disciple of Jindan or even Yuanying Patriarch, so she is a generation taller than ordinary disciples)
Zhao Qian sweetly called out "Senior Brother Lu, Senior Brother Sun!" Then she pointed at Zhao Jie, "That's my brother, I want to be with him!"

"Oh, that's no problem, it's what it should be!" The two were very willing to sell Future Star as a favor, and Zhao Jie became the tenth new disciple selected from being undetermined, which means that all ten places in the Haoran Sect have been used up. !
