In Emei, start by obtaining golden attributes.

Chapter 3 New Gold Entries
The disciple in charge of recording was surrounded by incense smoke curling from the burner. At the exit of the bamboo forest, the disciple in charge of recording called out names one by one.

Most of those who passed through were in a sorry state, either covered in mud or with their clothes torn by bamboo branches, their faces showing signs of shock or relief.

Compared to the first round, far fewer people were eliminated in the second round; the only difference was in the time it took.

When the incense sticks inside the incense burner had burned out, only a few people failed to pass this test.

At this moment, Abbess Juechen stepped forward again, her clear and cold voice once more reaching everyone's ears.

"The final test is also a test of one's fundamental character."

"Following the ranking order of those who came out of the bamboo forest, come forward one by one. The outer sect elders will use their true qi to examine your bones and check the condition of your meridians."

As soon as he finished speaking, the disciple who had been taking notes immediately spoke up.

"Gu Shaoan."

In an instant, everyone's eyes fell on Gu Shaoan.

Facing the gazes of the crowd, Gu Shaoan stepped forward and walked to the outer sect elder in charge of examining one's innate talent.

Looking at Gu Shaoan, who had bright eyes, a handsome face, and an outstanding temperament, the forty-something outer sect elder wore a gentle smile.

"Put your hand out."

Gu Shaoan did as instructed, extending his right hand, until the outer sect elder grasped Gu Shaoan's pulse.

Gu Shaoan immediately felt a cool energy enter his body through his wrist, and then travel along his meridians throughout his body.

As the true energy circulated, the gentle expression on the outer sect elder's face stiffened slightly, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

"Strong meridians indicate excellent physical constitution?"

Upon hearing about Gu Shaoan's innate talent, the other Emei disciples around him all looked at Gu Shaoan, their eyes also showing a hint of surprise.

A martial artist's innate talent is categorized from low to high as follows: inferior, ordinary, excellent, outstanding, and peerless.

Comprehension is immeasurable; it can only be glimpsed through a martial artist's progress in cultivation.

However, one's physical constitution can be detected by touching the bones or by a martial artist's internal energy.

Excellent physical constitution, seemingly neither the best nor the worst, is actually quite rare.

Looking at the entire Emei Mountain area, there are only about twenty people with truly outstanding talent.

Just then, as if she had noticed something, Abbess Juechen straightened her face, clenched her left fist and placed it against her right wrist, then brought her right index and middle fingers together in a sword-finger gesture and said, "Greetings, Sect Leader."

As soon as the sound rang out, all eyes turned to Gu Shaoan's back.

The moment their gazes fell upon Abbess Miejue, all the Emei elders and disciples bowed in respect.

"Greetings, Sect Leader."

Noticing the gazes of the crowd, Gu Shaoan quickly turned around.

After a fleeting glance at Miejue's face, he immediately lowered his head.

Abbess Miejue ignored everyone; her gaze, which seemed to be tempered with ten thousand years of ice, fell on Gu Shaoan.

Her gaze was like a physical shackle, cold and heavy, causing Gu Shaoan's muscles to tense instantly, as if he were being gripped by an invisible giant hand.

Just as Gu Shaoan felt as if the air around him had frozen, Miejue's voice suddenly rang out.

"Has the identity been verified?"

Master Juechen, who was standing nearby, immediately realized what Master Miejue had asked and stepped forward to bow, saying, "Reporting to the sect leader, according to the records of the disciples at the foot of the mountain, this boy is from Jiangnan. His family was originally wealthy, but three months ago, when he passed through Yushan Town, he encountered bandits and his parents died."

Abbess Miejue's gaze fell on Gu Shaoan again. Her thin lips parted slightly, and her voice, though not loud, was less cold than before and more gentle: "Would you like to become my disciple?"

As soon as he spoke, envious glances fell on Gu Shaoan.

When faced with the words of Extinction, Gu Shaoan was taken aback for a moment, but after regaining his senses, he knelt down and said, "Disciple greets Master."

"it is good!"

Looking at Gu Shaoan, who was bowing three times before her, Miejue's eyes softened even more.

[The player becomes Miejue's apprentice and her personal disciple, earning 1000 achievement points.]

[Successfully became an apprentice and embarked on your journey through the martial world, unlocking your second talent attribute.]

[Acquire new talent attribute: Enlightenment (Gold)]

[Unlock the Achievement Point Roulette. Players can use achievement points to spin the roulette wheel for a prize. Each spin will cost 1000 achievement points.]

After a series of system notifications popped up, Gu Shaoan's attribute panel also appeared. [Player: Gu Shaoan]

[Body structure: Excellent]

[Cultivation Level: Not Activated]

[Internal Strength Technique: None]

[Martial Arts Skills: None]

[Current entries: The Abbess's Favor (Gold), Awakening (Gold)]

[Achievement Points: 1000]

Looking at his attribute panel, Gu Shaoan's eyes flashed.

"This feature was also included?"

Gu Shaoan originally thought that he only brought the terminology function with him after he transmigrated.

Unexpectedly, the attribute panel and roulette lottery function were also brought over.

After seeing the second entry about himself, Gu Shaoan's eyes narrowed even more.

"It's this talent attribute?"

[Enlightenment (Gold): This greatly increases the probability of gaining significant inspiration during your cultivation.]

The explanation of "enlightenment" seems simple, but Gu Shaoan knew that it was a hidden term designed by the designer.

Among all the gold-level attributes, it is considered to be the top-tier.

This single term alone has a very high probability of allowing martial artists to enter a state of enlightenment during cultivation.

In this state of sudden enlightenment, a martial artist's comprehension can be greatly enhanced.

Gu Shaoan felt incredibly lucky to have acquired this talent attribute.

"Juechen, later send all the items to the back mountain according to his size and the specifications personally taught by the sect leader."

At this moment, Miejue's cold voice rang out again, carrying an air of unquestionable authority.

Abbess Juechen bowed slightly: "Disciple obeys."

Miejue turned her gaze to Gu Shaoan and said, "Come with me!"

After saying that, he ignored everyone else and turned to walk step by step toward the cloud-shrouded mountain peak.

After bowing to Abbess Juechen, Gu Shaoan quickly followed behind Miejue.

Before long, the two figures disappeared from everyone's sight.

Abbess Juechen withdrew her gaze and continued to preside over the disciples' entrance examination.

The mountain breeze is gentle, and if it were in winter, it might feel biting.

But in the height of summer, the mountain breeze that swept through the area brought a touch of coolness.

The fresh, clean air of the mountains helps to quickly calm one's mind.

Gu Shaoan originally only wanted to join Emei and find a place to stay temporarily.

Unexpectedly, he became Miejue's personal disciple.

Although the Emei Sect has declined in recent years, it is still a formidable force west of the Great Wei Dynasty.

The five sects of Huashan, Songshan, Hengshan, Hengshan and Taishan have joined forces to create the Five Sacred Mountains Sword Sect, which has gained increasing fame in recent years.

However, compared to the Emei Sect, it is still inferior.

The power of Extinction and the status of Emei are self-evident.

Sects like Wudang and Shaolin are undoubtedly top-tier forces, far surpassing the Emei Sect.

But what use is it if you join but are just an ordinary disciple who can't catch the eye of people like Song Yuanqiao or Zhang Zhenren?
Those who aspire to great heights often have lives as fragile as paper.

Gu Shaoan was no longer an ignorant boy; he knew that one must eat one bite at a time.

Unless he's a kept man.
