Bamboo Mound

The silver-robed disciple standing beside the spirit-testing stone finally spoke:

"The recruitment of the three sects has officially begun. All those who wish to join a sect shall line up and have their spiritual roots, talents, and bone age measured at the three spiritual artifacts. Those who pass the test shall choose one of the three sects to join and wait on the side until the recruitment ends. If you are not present after the recruitment ends, you shall bear the consequences yourself."

His voice wasn't loud, but it was clear and even, making it audible throughout the entire square.

Seeing this, Wang Yi also got up, gave Ning Chang a communication talisman, told him that he could move around freely, and then prepared to return to the registration office of Medicine King Valley to sit down.

But Ning Chang suddenly stopped him, "Senior Brother Wang Yi, although I have now directly entered the sect, I still want to test my spiritual root talent."

“This is easy.” Wang Yi led Ning Chang directly to the spirit-testing stone, pointing to a small empty seat behind the first place and saying:

"Just stand here and wait for the first person to finish the test before you try it."

At this moment, the first person in line was a young woman with no cultivation. She had just put down her left hand that had been touching the spirit-testing stone when she realized that the immortal master who had been chatting with her at the table had come to her side. She was immediately nervous and her hands trembled uncontrollably as she took the registration paper with her spiritual root written on it from the tester.

Only after hearing Wang Yi's words did he breathe a sigh of relief, and he quickly stepped forward to the black cube where talent was tested, handing over the registration form.

The second place was a man with a somewhat strange appearance. He was only eighteen or nineteen years old. Although his mouth and nose were regular, his eyebrows and eyes were too narrow.

He had just finished writing his name on the registration form and was about to step forward when he discovered that someone had already cut in front of him.

That was Ning Chang, who had just stood still, while Wang Yi, after saying those words, flashed back to the registration area.

Because he was focused on writing his name carefully, he hadn't noticed where Ning Chang had come from, nor had he heard Wang Yi's instructions to Ning Chang.

So in his eyes, someone took advantage of the time he was writing his name and the immortal masters' inattention to cut in front of him!

He immediately felt a surge of anger.

Since he was born, no one has been able to take advantage of him!

He is about to join the sect, dominate the outer sect, break into the inner sect, be accompanied by junior sisters, have a group of followers, and reach the pinnacle of life!

He was already a little annoyed that a woman had taken first place, but considering his upcoming life advancement, he held back his anger. He just remembered her figure and vowed that whenever he encountered her, he would make sure she knew the consequences of trying to take first place from him!

But then some scruffy kid interfered! How could he tolerate that?!

Just as he was thinking about how to lash out, he saw Ning Chang raise his hand and press it on the spirit-testing stone.

The spirit-testing stone, just like before, flashed with a soft white light, intertwining with the original brightness.

No one noticed this change, and they all believed that Ning Chang had no spiritual root.

After all, if the spirit testing stone doesn't react, there's only one conclusion: the tester doesn't even have a low-grade spiritual root!

The six people from the three sects were naturally watching this side, their eyes wide with disbelief.

Since ancient times, it has been a consensus throughout the world that one cannot cultivate without spiritual roots.

But now there is a person who not only has no spiritual root, but has also reached the sixth level of the Spirit Platform!

Wang Yi and Dan Tu were even more shocked, because they also knew that Ning Chang had only taken four months to cultivate from nothing to the sixth level of the Spirit Platform!

Although I don't understand how Ning Chang did it, if I gave him a spiritual root, even the lowest grade one, I can't imagine what he would achieve now!

Just as the six people were shocked, the person behind Ning Chang also saw the result on the spirit testing stone. He could not sense any spiritual energy fluctuations on Ning Chang's body, and Ning Chang's clothes were ordinary, so he did not seem to be a cultivator.

However, noticing that all six immortal masters were looking in their direction, he thought about it and decided to restrain himself and leave a good impression on the six immortal masters so that things would go more smoothly later.

Then, in a sarcastic tone, he raised his voice and said, "Oh dear~ some people think they're so high and mighty, cutting in line to take the test, hoping to attract the attention of the immortal masters, but they don't even have spiritual roots, just useless trash who can't cultivate~"

Upon hearing his sudden outburst, the somewhat noisy crowd around him immediately fell silent, and even the people queuing behind him looked on as if watching a show.

Aside from himself, almost everyone in the room knew that Ning Chang had been brought here by the Immortal Master for testing.

However, when the whole room quieted down, he thought it was because his shout had attracted attention.

He immediately continued, "Useless trash! The three sects won't accept someone like you who doesn't even have a spiritual root. I'll take pity on you and spare you the punishment for cutting in line."

"Now, why aren't you getting out of here? Go home and herd cattle! If you keep blocking my way, you're in for a world of trouble!"

Ning Chang sensed that the person behind him was a bit crazy, but he didn't turn around. He withdrew his hand and took a few steps forward to the black spiritual artifact used for testing talent.

Although it is a magical artifact, even upon closer inspection, it is just a flat-carved stone with a few beads inlaid in it.

There are nine small gray beads on it, presumably representing nine talent levels.

"I guess I can just put my hand on it, right?" Ning Chang thought to himself as he looked at the pale red bead.

At this moment, Dan Tu, who was standing to the side, handed the completed registration form to the first woman. Seeing Ning Chang hesitate for a moment, he spoke up to remind her:

"Place your hand on the red orb, then imagine the gray orbs lighting up one by one from the bottom. When you can no longer light up the next one, that indicates which level of talent you have."

"Oh, I see. What would happen if I didn't follow the order?" Ning Chang suddenly had a whimsical idea.

“Well, if it’s not in order, none of them will light up,” Dan Tu replied.

Ning Chang nodded.

Although he already knew the result, he still wanted to try it first before starting normally from the bottom.

Ning Chang gently patted the pearls and then focused his attention on the ninth gray pearl at the top.

But, "If you imagine it shining, what color would it be?"

Just as Ning Changgang placed his hand on it and began to ponder, the pearl suddenly flashed with white light, filling the entire pearl, while the other eight pearls remained completely still, as if they had failed.

"Huh?" Dan Tu and Ning Chang exclaimed in unison.

Ning Chang was surprised that the pearl could light up so easily, while Dan Tu was surprised because he saw Ning Chang skip the next eight pearls and make the ninth pearl light up!

"Holy crap, how did you do that?!" Dan Tu was stunned for a moment, then stood up abruptly from his seat and blurted out the question with wide eyes.

"Um... I did as you said, I wanted to try it out first, and it lit up right away."

"No...no...skipping it directly is impossible to succeed." Dan Tu walked out from behind the table and placed his hand on the red orb.

Seeing this, Ning Chang stepped aside slightly, preparing to watch how Dan Tu would proceed.
