When he and Chen Er walked into the crowd that had not yet been tested and were still waiting, Shi Yu saw the frustrated and disappointed faces on the stone platform. There were tens of thousands of young people from nearby prefectures who came to the Fairy Fate Conference. Now that the test was about to end, only three or five people had a slight reaction on the spirit stone, which showed how rare it was to have a spirit vein.

Not surprised by the result, the sect disciples in charge of spirit testing had indifferent expressions and called the next group of people to the stone platform.

The mortal world is not as rich in spiritual energy as the Metaverse. There are only a few people in the Metaverse who have the qualifications to practice cultivation, let alone in the mortal world.

Chen Er stood beside Shi Yu to prevent her from being squeezed by the people next to her. After about an incense stick of time, it was their turn to go up the stone platform. Chen Er swallowed his saliva, quite nervous, and said to Shi Yu: "Sir, it's almost our turn. Please be careful with the steps when you go up later."

Shi Yu nodded slightly and waited for the previous group of testers to step down from the stone platform. The girl holding the spirit stone and wearing a goose yellow dress waved at them: "Come over here, those behind."

Following the crowd onto the stone platform, after everyone stood still, the girl formed seals with her fingers, and stimulated spiritual energy to flow into the spirit-testing stone.

Hundreds of misty spiritual energy extended from the spirit-measuring stone and connected to every person on the stone platform.

Shi Yu lowered his head and looked at the spiritual energy that was wrapped around his body like a silky veil, with a faint texture like water waves.

The spiritual veins in the body seemed to react and trembled twice very slightly.

But her spiritual veins were too thin and dim, and the vibration was like plucking the strings of a guitar with a feather, and it did not cause any reaction from the spiritual energy connected to the spirit stone.

At this moment, she suddenly heard an exclamation from the side. She turned her head and saw Chen Er next to her staring in amazement at the ray of spiritual energy connecting him.

His misty grey aura was tinged with green veins.

"It, it's lit! Green, bright, bright." Chen Er spoke incoherently and his thoughts were slow. He looked at Shi Yu blankly.

Shi Yu smiled slightly: "Congratulations."

The other people on the stone platform were envious and jealous.

There were also several young men who had been staying in the inn these days. Some of them recognized Chen Er's identity as a waiter, and were even more angry that such a smooth road fell into the hands of a lowly person, and not themselves.

Chen Er scratched the back of his head and smiled at Shi Yu innocently.

He grew up listening to the legend of the Immortal Fate Conference. He had dreamed of cultivating immortals and was looking forward to this day. But he never thought that he would actually have the opportunity to realize such a dream. He felt dizzy for a while.

Seeing that someone finally got the spirit stone to respond, the girl perked up, walked over and said with a smile: "Wood attribute spirit vein, follow me, the others can go down."

After that, she turned around and was about to call the next group of people to come up for the test, but she paused when she saw something out of the corner of her eye: "Huh?"

She stopped in front of Shi Yu and looked carefully at Shi Yu's spiritual energy.

In the misty gray spiritual energy, one or two very faint and faint red lights appeared at some point in time.

Although it is not obvious and can be easily overlooked, it does exist.

The girl retracted her gaze and said to Shi Yu, "You come with me too."

Chen Er beside him was surprised and delighted: "Sir, yours is lit up too!"

Only then did Shi Yu realize that the spirit stone, which had not reacted just now, finally showed some reaction out of courtesy.

After being nourished by the spring water for half a month, her empty spiritual vein that had been dug out was indeed reborn.

Chen Er said naively: "This way, you and I can be companions in the future and take care of each other."

Shi Yu nodded to Chen Er, and walked with him behind the girl and stayed on the stone platform.

After another half hour, the sun set in the west, and the sunset glowed like ink across the sky. The test was finally over.

After Chen Er and Shi Yu, no one else lit up the spirit stone. In this way, a total of six people remained on the stone platform.

The Immortal Fate Conference officially ended.

After politely declining the invitation to the dinner from the village chief and officials, several disciples of the Yuxu Sect were busy, instructing the six people who stayed behind on what to do next.

The leading young monk said, "My name is Song Zifan, you can just call me Brother Song."

At that moment, several people bowed and called out, "Senior Brother Song."

Song Zifan nodded and said without further ado: "For cultivators like me, how far we can go on this path of immortality depends on hard work, resources and opportunities. Apart from that, the most important thing is talent."

Several people concentrated and listened carefully.

"This talent is what I'm talking about, the spiritual vein. Only when you have a spiritual vein can you use your body as a spring to gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. You all have spiritual veins because the spirit stones you just tested reacted to." Song Zifan paused, and seeing the joy on everyone's faces, he shook his head slightly and continued, "But these spiritual veins are also divided into different levels."

Spiritual veins are also divided into different levels.

Several people looked at each other, and their just relaxed and happy mood suddenly became tense again, not knowing which class they belonged to.

Song Zifan looked at the girl next to him: "Junior Sister Huang."

The girl's name was Huang Xiu. She nodded and continued, "Just now I only roughly detected whether you have spiritual veins. Now I need to specifically test the grade of your spiritual veins. To enter my Yuxu Sect, outer disciples must have a lower grade six-point spiritual vein, and menial disciples must have a lower grade three-point spiritual vein. If you can't reach the lower grade three-point, you can't enter my sect."

Spiritual veins are divided into low, medium, high and top grades, and each grade is further divided into nine parts.

There was no expectation to find any spiritual veins other than the lower grade in the mortal world, so Huang Xiu only mentioned the lower grade spiritual veins and did not elaborate.

After all, when you go to the Metaverse in the future, you will slowly understand all these.

Seeing everyone's nervous expressions, she smiled and said, "Those who cannot reach the third level of the lower grade don't need to be too upset or discouraged. Although you cannot enter my Yuxu Sect, you can still follow us to the outside of the sect."

"There is a market outside the sect. You can find a place to stay and see if you will have the opportunity to embark on the path of cultivation in the future. It all depends on your choice."

All that needed to be said had been said, Huang Xiu and Song Zifan looked at each other and said, "Brother, please."

Song Zifan flipped his hand and took out a ruler-like object from his sleeve. There were scales carved on it, with the words one point, two points, and three points marked on it.

He held the ruler in his palm and said, "This is called the Spirit Measure Ruler. It can measure the quality of your spiritual roots. Let's take a look at them one by one."

In order, the first person stepped forward nervously. Song Zifan asked him to hold the ruler. In an instant, a thin yellow line emerged and slowly climbed up from the bottom of the ruler, passing one point, two points, and finally stopped on the scale between three points and four points.

"You are a low-ranking third grade person. You can join our sect and be recorded as a menial disciple."

The person who was testing heaved a sigh of relief and another person came up.

"Four points for inferior quality."

"Two points for inferior quality."

"Two points for inferior quality."

When it came to Chen Er, he turned out to be the one with the best aptitude among the few people. The green thin line climbed all the way to the seventh level of the lower grade before stopping, which meant that he could directly enter the outer gate and become an outer gate disciple of the Yuxu Sect.

After Chen Er came Shi Yu, who was the worst. After Shi Yu held the spirit measuring ruler, the red line rose slightly after a long while, barely reaching the mark of the lower grade.

Song Zifan coughed lightly: "One point of inferior quality."

Shi Yu was not surprised by this result.

After all, his spiritual veins had been drained, and had only just begun to regenerate in recent days, which was almost equivalent to nothing.

Shi Yu was the last one to take the test. Among the six of them, besides her, there were two others who were of the lower grade with two points.

According to what Huang Xiu just said, the three of them could not reach the threshold to enter the Yuxu Sect, but they could be given a ride to the Yuan Realm and stay in the market outside the sect. They could then seek opportunities for themselves in the Yuan Realm in the future.

Sure enough, seeing that the test was over, Huang Xiu spoke, first saying to the three people who met the standards, including Chen Er: "You can join my Yuxu Sect."

Then he looked at Shi Yu and the other two and said, "What about you? Are you willing to come with us and find a way out outside the sect?"

The other two looked at each other, quite hesitant.

They came from a well-off family and had traveled a long way to come to Guangle Village to attend the Xianyuan Conference, so they naturally had ideals and ambitions.

Now I have the qualifications to cultivate immortality, but I cannot join a sect. I have to find my own way in a completely unfamiliar place where I am unfamiliar with everyone. What should I do?

The storybook said that the path of cultivating immortals was extremely dangerous. Without the protection of a sect, how could ordinary people like them find the so-called way out? They might even lose their lives halfway.

The two people's faces changed, and finally, one of them sighed and shook his head: "I will stay here."

The other person struggled for a moment, and said sadly: "I will stay here too."

Huang Xiu was not surprised by this result. He nodded and looked at Shi Yu who did not answer: "What about you?"

Chen Er also had a conflicted look on his face and looked at Shi Yu with some worry.

This young master is not in good health. If he goes alone, without anyone to protect him, this...

But Shi Yu did not hesitate, and raised his eyelashes: "I would like to go with you, thank you for your help."

It was not her original intention to join the sect or not. Although joining the sect brought conveniences, there were also many restrictions. With her special identity and the precious Yin-Yang Life-Knocking Bell, she would always feel inconvenienced in the sect.

As long as there is a chance to return to the metaverse, it will be enough.

The current situation actually suits her needs, so of course she doesn't need to think too much about it.

Seeing that everyone had made a decision, Song Zifan smiled and said, "In that case, you can say goodbye to your family and friends. You will be on this journey of cultivation and may never come back, so you should say goodbye properly."
