The female lead thought she had a "proud and arrogant" character script.

"Single Heavenly Spiritual Root, late Foundation Establishment stage, bone age twelve, more than ten years of cultivation."

Another uproar ensued.

"A twelve-year-old at the late stage of Foundation Establishment!"

"If he breaks through, wouldn't he be the youngest Golden Core cultivator in nearly a thousand years?!"

"Didn't any of you realize it's a Heavenly Spiritual Root! Blessed by Heaven, you'll achieve the Divine Transformation Body sooner or later!"

"hiss--"

Someone gasped.

Envy arose from all sides.

"Wow, how come this girl is so talented?"

Upon hearing this, one of the test takers immediately retorted, "What do you know? This isn't just high talent, it's super high talent!"

Think about it carefully.

Huh? When did a candidate who speaks a dialect appear?

He turned around and looked.

A kind-looking, plump man stood behind him.

Besides these, there were a few people who were clearly not test takers, and they exuded a subtle sense of pressure.

Who are these people?

Just when he was doubting.

Several black-clad disciples on guard stepped forward, bowed, and greeted, "Esteemed senior uncles."

The candidate turned pale.

Seeing his guilty conscience, the elder from Sichuan waved his hand and said, "Hey, young man, give me your seat."

The Grand Elder stepped down from the platform. "Don't cause trouble. Come with me."

Just as the examinee was about to give up his seat, he saw a group of elders being led away by the Sword Master, looking dejected.

He clutched his heart.

Looking at the elder's back.

What's with this feeling of being completely overwhelmed by such domineering presence?!

Okay, so handsome!

Luo Qingcheng didn't notice this side; at this moment, she was considering whether she should leave first.

Kong Fuling smiled and stepped aside from the testing stone, even making a cute gesture of encouragement as she passed by.

Hongdou stood to the side, her eyes fixed intently on Kong Fuling.

Hmph, what are you pretending to be cute for?

This servant is the young lady's favorite maid!

They didn't even see Luo Qingcheng's pleading look.

She had no choice but to stand there, motionless for a long time.

The disciple in charge urged impatiently, "Sanba, what are you dawdling about?"

Luo Qingcheng looked around and saw expectant eyes fixed on her.

After all, the image of the three of them holding hands and rushing to the testing stone was still vivid in my mind.

The first two gave them such big surprises, the third one might be even more amazing!

With such expectations in mind, all the examinees gathered around Luo Qingcheng as he slowly walked to the testing stone.

Even those who had difficulty moving around were brought over on stretchers.

Luo Qingcheng: ...

"Senior brother, you should just call me beautiful."

The disciple in charge glanced at her, but remained unchanged, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

He said, "Give me your number plate."

Luo Qingcheng handed it over, then placed his hand on the testing stone himself.

Everyone held their breath.

a long time.

……

The disciple in charge looked at the elders sitting upright in the main hall.

"Uncle-Master, the testing stone seems to be broken."

Luo Qingcheng raised his hand, "Um—"

It's probably not broken.

"What? Let me see!"

Upon hearing this, the Third Elder, who was being suppressed and struggling to breathe, saw it as a golden opportunity!

She leaped up and rushed toward the testing stone.

The elder put down his teacup, stood up, and followed.

The remaining elders breathed a sigh of relief, exchanged glances, and knew that the matter was over. They then followed.

They formed a circle and made way for the elders.

The Third Elder wore the female elder's robe of the Wenjian Sect, with a black base and gold thread outlining. Compared to the men's version, it was slightly tighter at the waist, making her appear more slender.

She flew past, and everyone's vision went black for a moment before she flashed to the testing stone.

Luo Qingcheng silently lowered his hand.

Never mind, nobody cares what she's trying to say.

The Third Elder lifted the testing stone, which weighed a thousand pounds, with one hand and even weighed it in his hand.

He then tentatively inserted a wisp of spiritual energy, and flame-shaped characters rose from mid-air, only to be swept away by a gesture from the Grand Elder who followed closely behind.

Before I could even see what was written, it vanished into thin air.

The Third Elder turned around and saw that his arrogant demeanor immediately subsided, and he put the testing stone back on the platform.

He said weakly, "It's not broken."

The disciple in charge was puzzled, "But when this beautiful woman placed her palm on it, the testing stone did not react at all."

Even a useless spiritual root can be tested with a testing stone, which is a treasure valued by every sect.

Luo Qingcheng: ...

There's no need to call me "beauty" at this time; I would really appreciate it.

Upon hearing how he addressed Luo Qingcheng and seeing Luo Qingcheng's speechless expression, the Third Elder was immediately amused.

Her silvery laughter just wouldn't stop, despite the puzzled looks on everyone's faces.

The elder sighed inwardly, knowing that his junior sister's peculiar sense of humor had somehow been triggered again.

He said in a deep voice, "Try it again."

The Third Elder hid to the side and laughed.

The remaining elders had never seen the testing stone remain unresponsive. Even a mortal who had never cultivated could detect something.

They immediately gathered around out of curiosity.

After putting the testing stone back, Luo Qingcheng placed his hand on it under the watchful eyes of a large crowd.

a long time.

……

The Grand Elder suddenly thought of a possibility: Could it be—

"Would you mind if I personally investigated?"

[Don't agree. If you're not careful when artificially probing your spiritual root, it could severely impact your cultivation.]

Luo Qingcheng: "I don't mind."

At the same time, he thought to himself: [Darkness!]

If a Sword Master like him had any objections to me, I would die eight hundred times over without him even lifting a finger.

Moreover, with everyone watching, if he were to cause any problems for him, wouldn't that be a disgrace to the Wenjian Sect?

Privately speaking, they had no past grievances or recent enmities.

For the sake of the Sword Inquiry Sect and his reputation as the Sword Master, he would never allow his body to malfunction.

system:……

So many thoughts flashed through my mind in an instant; who is truly wicked and who knows best in their heart (pointing and whispering).

Seeing that she did not hesitate at all, the Grand Elder assumed that Luo Qingcheng was trusting him, and his heart warmed.

He, who always does things without explaining, even assured everyone, "Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you."

After Luo Qingcheng nodded, a stream of spiritual energy flowed from his hand, forming a ring, and probed through Luo Qingcheng's wrist.

In just a few seconds, the Grand Elder confirmed his suspicions.

He lowered his head and said, "Do you know that you yourself have no spiritual roots?"

No spiritual root?!

This surprised not only the examinees who were waiting for the birth of another extraordinary genius, but also the elders whose expressions changed.
