Bound to the Multiverse Restaurant, I'm now the darling of my staff.

All eyes in the square were focused on the spirit platform.

"What, what's going on? I've never seen this color before, nor have I ever seen this intensity of light."

"Could it be a top-grade wood spirit root? But it doesn't seem like it. Wood spirit roots are usually light green."

On the high platform, the elders of the sect stared at the beam of light with shock in their eyes.

"This, this is..."

"Did I see it wrong?"

"It's not the one I'm thinking of, is it?"

The crowd looked at each other, their eyes filled with surprise and uncertainty.

Only Xuanxiao, standing behind Xuanzhongzi, stepped forward, his deep gaze fixed on the beam of light and the person on the spiritual platform, his voice resolute.

"It's the root of the Spirit Tree of Life!"

Xuanxiao is known as a living encyclopedia in the cultivation world; anything certified by him is absolutely infallible.

Upon hearing this, the elders' eyes lit up with ecstasy.

"As expected, it really is that spiritual root."

"I never imagined that I would see such a legendary spiritual root in my lifetime."

Unlike the elders who understood, some of the chief disciples looked completely bewildered, clearly unaware of what they were talking about.

Xuanxiao withdrew his gaze, surveyed the expressions of everyone on the platform, and explained in a detached voice.

"The Life Spirit Tree Root, shaped like a small sapling, is the only spirit root with a fixed form. Legend has it that it originated from the ancient Tree of Life and contains vibrant vitality and endless healing power."

"According to ancient records, those who possess this spiritual root will become guardians of the world, able to use healing power to soothe all pain and suffering."

As he explained, everyone suddenly understood, and some people asked curiously.

"Judging by the intensity of this light, this spiritual root must be of top-grade quality, right?"

The person who said this immediately received a glare from one of the elders.

"You only know about top-grade stuff, but this is a Heavenly Spiritual Root! Top-grade stuff is a joke in front of it!"

The reprimanded disciple dared not speak, and listened to the reprimand with his head down.

My goodness, it's actually a Heavenly Spiritual Root? He only knew that it was recorded in ancient books, but he had never seen it before.

Standing on one side of the altar, Lin Wanrou stared intently at the green light, unwilling to look away even though it stung her eyes.

"Why...why did this happen...it shouldn't be like this..."

Lin Wanrou murmured repeatedly, as if lost in some kind of confusion, her eyes vacant.

Upon seeing the bewildered Wen Nuan on the stage, Lin Wanrou's eyes instantly turned bloodshot, flashing with hatred.

"Why you? Why is it you again?"

With such a rare spiritual root in front of her, her top-grade spiritual root instantly lost its luster and became dull and lackluster.

She is clearly the protagonist of this world, so why did such a good thing fall into the hands of this woman?

At this moment, Lin Wanrou had a strong premonition for some reason.

As long as this woman is around, her plans will never succeed.

Therefore...she must die...

Wen Nuan on the high platform was also completely bewildered. So this was what she had drawn last night?

No wonder 996 says that the gold lottery tickets always bring out top-tier rewards.

Although she doesn't know much about it yet, this stance alone makes it look very impressive...

At this moment, Wen Nuan was unaware of what her spiritual root represented; she was only thinking about it in her heart.

Does having this spiritual root mean she can cultivate?

So, flying on a sword... isn't that just around the corner?

As a young person of the new century, I have always had an inexplicable obsession with flying on a sword.

She never imagined that her future would be so drastically changed because of this spiritual root...

If the elders of various sects were only excited when the two top-grade spiritual roots appeared before, they were still able to restrain themselves.

But when the warm spiritual root appeared, the elders couldn't contain themselves any longer and wished they could fly down immediately to surround the person.

Only Xuan Zhongzi, who was in charge of the overall situation, was also anxious, but he did not forget his responsibility. He stepped forward and stopped the people as soon as the elders made a move.

"Seniors, calm down, calm down! We should at least wait until everyone else's spiritual roots have been tested before we talk!"

"Don't you dare stop me!" The elder from Burning Incense Valley glared at him and said irritably.

"What if they run away? Can you take responsibility?"

This is a legendary spiritual root. If they could get it to join their sect, their sect would become the focus of everyone's attention for the next hundred or even a thousand years!

"Exactly! What's so interesting about the ones that come after? Even if ten more people with top-grade spiritual roots appeared, they still wouldn't be as good as this little kid!"

"You know what, this girl is not only talented, but also beautiful. I think she's much prettier than that girl from the Lin family. She's a perfect match for our Biyun Sect."

The one who said this was a female elder. The Biyun Sect is also the only sect in the cultivation world with all female disciples.

As soon as she finished speaking, she was met with unanimous resistance from the other sect elders.

"How are you even worthy? You're not even worthy of their thick skin!"

"Old man, what are you saying? Do you want to fight me?"

"Hmph! Fight me then, do you think I'm afraid of you?"

In the end, it was Xuan Zhongzi who stepped forward and, after much persuasion, managed to convince the two to stop.

He wiped his sweat while speeding up the process, lest these senior colleagues get impatient and cause any more trouble.

Originally, some people were hoping that another person with a top-grade spiritual root would appear among the later participants.

But as it turns out, top-grade spiritual roots are not as common as cabbages on the street.

By the time everyone had finished testing their spiritual roots, it was almost dark.

The elders, who had been waiting impatiently, stood up the very first second after the event ended, eagerly saying...

"Where is she? Where is she? Go find that little girl right now!"

“Yes, yes, although the sect selection is tomorrow, that little girl doesn’t seem to be from our cultivation world before. I think it’s necessary for her to learn about our major sects first, so that she doesn’t choose the wrong one tomorrow.”

Especially the Qingyun Sword Sect, which boasts the title of the number one sect in the cultivation world, will definitely be the first choice for those who don't know much about it.

But actually they're not bad either, so it's necessary to give them a heads-up beforehand. Such promising talents should definitely be recruited into our sect!

This was the unanimous opinion of the elders from various sects present.

But when they searched the entire Qingyun Mountain Square and still couldn't find the little girl, the group became anxious.

"Where is the person? Why is he missing?"

"It was right there a moment ago, how could it have disappeared in the blink of an eye?"

Some elders raised their hands without any politeness and berated Xuan Zhongzi.

"It's all your fault! If you hadn't stopped us, we would have gone after that child long ago. Now look what's happened!"

Faced with the onslaught of a group of senior figures, Xuan Zhongzi was also sweating profusely and wondering what was going on in his mind.

Although today is supposed to be just a test of spiritual roots, generally no one will leave before it ends.

After all, the next day is the day to choose a sect, and anyone present could be a competitor.

As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated." It's always good to learn more about your competitors.

Who would have thought that today the child would do something completely unpredictable and actually just walk away!

Where is he supposed to find someone?

Xuan Zhongzi smiled apologetically while comforting the anxious elders.

"Seniors, don't worry. Tomorrow is the day to choose a sect. The people will definitely come then. We just need to wait patiently for one night."

"Humph!"

Of all the people, only Xuanxiao remained calm, his usual icy expression revealing nothing.

Xuanxiao thought of the familiar scene he had accidentally witnessed before, and a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes.

Just like before, the girl left with her two companions before the conference even ended.

For some reason, everything about that girl gave him the feeling that "she and they are not from the same world."

It's as if they're completely detached from this world, curious about everything yet indifferent, like a passerby...
