Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 85: Mirror Moon Main Vein
"Senior Sister Shu, you are too kind." Chen Beiwu said modestly.

"Junior Brother Chen, there is no need to be modest. With your qualifications, you will definitely be assigned to the tutelage of the Golden Core Elder after you join the sect. By then, I might have to trouble you to take care of me." Shu You changed the subject.

"Senior sister, you are too kind. If you hadn't led me into the sect, I would be nothing more than an unknown cultivator outside the mountain gate."

Having said this, Chen Beiwu paused for a moment and said solemnly, "If Senior Sister needs anything from you in the future, Ziang will be at your service at any time."

Senior Sister Shu is now at the Foundation Establishment stage. If something happens, he will definitely not be able to help with his current level of cultivation.

He just needs to show attitude now.

As expected, upon hearing this, Shu You glanced at Chen Beiwu, his smile growing even brighter as he changed the subject, "Junior brother, please look, the next stage of the Moon Selection Ceremony is the Second Stage, the Heart Trial."

As soon as he finished speaking, the storage ring on Shu You's finger flickered with light, and dozens of streams of light shot up into the sky and then landed in the center of the town, forming a mysterious and obscure formation that enveloped all the monks participating in the test.

In an instant, white mist rose, and the eyes of hundreds of cultivators in the market were frozen, and they were trapped in the illusion and unable to extricate themselves.

"Impossible, there's absolutely no way I'm going to die here!"

Gu Chun burst out with his magic power and stood up, with murderous intent in his eyes.

However, when she saw the dazed faces of the monks around her, her expression changed and she immediately reacted, retracting the tremendous magic power that was about to burst out of her body.

"Yes, being able to wake up within ten breaths shows that Gu Chun has a good character." Shu You nodded slightly and praised.

Although Gu Chun rejected her pursuit, it did not affect her optimism about the second daughter of the Gu family.

"It's really amazing." Chen Beiwu nodded and glanced at the Heart Test Array Refining Plate.

Noticing Chen Beiwu's gaze, Shu You's eyes flickered slightly, "Junior brother, are you interested in battle formations?"

She has some accomplishments in formation.

If Chen Beiwu was interested, she could talk about this topic and strengthen the relationship between fellow disciples.

"Hmm." Chen Beiwu nodded slightly and asked curiously, "Excuse me, Senior Sister Shu, what kind of illusion array is this?"

"This formation comes from the Huanhai lineage of our sect. It is a second-order, mid-grade formation, called the Heart-Testing and Spirit-Refining Formation."

Shu You looked at the cultivators below and said, "The Heart-Testing and Spirit-Refining Formation can mobilize the energy of water, wood, and earth veins to create a realistic illusion, immersing the cultivator in it and preventing them from waking up. Even a cultivator in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment would be trapped in this formation and unable to extricate themselves."

"In order to test the cultivators' character, I have deliberately suppressed the power of the Heart-Testing and Spirit-Refining Formation to the lowest possible level. A Qi-Refining cultivator with a clear mind and a strong will can break through this formation and regain consciousness in five breaths."

"I see." Chen Beiwu's eyes changed slightly as he looked at Gu Chun.

Even if Shu You deliberately controlled the power of the formation, the Heart-Testing and Spirit-Refining Formation was still a second-level mid-grade formation.

The fact that Gu Chun was able to wake up within ten breaths shows that his personality is inconsistent with his appearance and he is definitely a ruthless person.

Soon, as the two chatted, Shi Botao and Wei Xuesong woke up from the illusion array one after another and passed the test successfully, but more cultivators were eliminated at this level.

Shu You waved his sleeves, put away the Spirit Detection Mirror and the formation, and at the same time threw out eleven jade slips: "Those who successfully pass the first two levels can become outer disciples of the Jingyue Sect. This is the certificate of entry into the sect."

"The third level is a skill assessment. Those who have reached the level of cultivation skills can take a step forward."

As soon as he finished speaking, the eleven cultivators who had received the jade slips, including Gu Chun, took a step forward together.

In addition, dozens of independent cultivators who were eliminated in the first two levels also took a step forward.

"Very good. There is no time limit for the next skill level. The Gu family will be responsible for the assessment and record."

After saying that, Shu You urged the cloud boat to move, and it turned into a rainbow of light and disappeared, leaving behind only a group of surprised wandering cultivators.

Only the cultivators from the Gu, Chi, Yu, Yuan and Shui families remained calm.

It’s different in the past.

In the past, Shu Zhuji might have waited until the skill level was over before leading the new disciples out of the market and heading to the Jingyue Sect for initiation. But today was different. With the presence of a genius like Chen Ziang, all the new disciples in Yinxia Market were dim and lackluster. How could Shu Zhuji possibly stop?

……

Lingshan Building.

Shu You took Chen Beiwu to the No. 1 box.

She knocked on the door three times as usual and said respectfully, "Inner sect disciple Shu You, please see the Moon Choosing Envoy!"

After a long time, a cold female voice came from the box, "Come in."

Chen Beiwu followed Shu You in and immediately saw the female cultivator he had met before.

Their eyes met, and Zhu Qiong couldn't help but frowned, "He is?"

Although Chen Beiwu's praise made her feel good, she was still unwilling to deal with irrelevant male cultivators.

"Moon Choosing Envoy, this is a good candidate that I found at the Moon Choosing Ceremony. His name is Chen Ziang." Shu You presented the jade slip with both hands.

"Water-type pseudo-heavenly spiritual roots, wood-type earthly spiritual roots, sixteen years old, eighth level of Qi training, and aptitude is Moon-gazing upper grade."

Seeing the information from the Spirit Tester's evaluation, Zhu Qiong was slightly stunned and a smile appeared on her face.

"There are actually cultivators with natural spiritual roots in Yinxia Market. Not bad. I will give you an excellent grade in the assessment of this sect mission."

Hearing this, Shu You was delighted.

Her judgment was correct. Zhu Zhenchuan was a qualified leader and would not take all the credit for himself.

If she could take this opportunity to become Zhu Qiongshan's disciple and receive his care, she might have a hope of achieving the Golden Elixir stage.

"You can leave." Zhu Qiong waved her hand and watched Shu You close the door and leave. Then she looked at Chen Zi'ang with a thoughtful look.

Although she had seen through Chen Zi'ang's true appearance before, she was too lazy to detect his age and cultivation level, and as a result, she almost missed a good seedling.

"Could it be that I've revealed some flaw?" Chen Beiwu's face remained calm, but his heart was turbulent.

It shouldn’t be!

The Jingyue Sect even accepted the hostile immortal cultivation families and the declining descendants of other sects as its disciples without any concern.

Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any room for a casual cultivator like him whose financial situation can be considered clean.

After all, Chen Zi'ang's identity can be verified. He comes from a poor family in Shuishan Town where the son disappeared since childhood and both his parents died.

"At such a young age, he has already reached the eighth level of Qi training, and he also has a good understanding of talismans."

Zhu Qiong pondered for a moment and said, "Are you interested in joining the Jingyue lineage and becoming my junior apprentice?"

A cultivator with natural spiritual roots is hard to come by in a thousand years.

Although Chen Beiwu is a cultivator of a slightly lower-class natural pseudo-spiritual root, he has a water-attribute spiritual root. This kind of talent can be considered one of the best in the Jingyue Sect.

Although she felt that recruiting disciples for her master was a bit troublesome, if she missed such a genius, she might be nagged by her master when she returned, making things even more troublesome.

"Senior Sister Zhu." Chen Beiwu felt relieved and said without hesitation.

The Jingyue Sect is divided into six branches: Jingyue, Huanhai, Hansui, Yuanting, Liushang and Kongquan.

Among them, the Jingyue lineage ranks first and is the main lineage of the Jingyue Sect. The other five lineages are ranked equally.

Naturally, he would not refuse the opportunity to become a disciple of the most prestigious branch of Jingyue Sect.
