I can't keep a low profile when cultivating immortality; the sixth one is actually myself.
Chapter 11 Born to Be King
"Come in~"
At the tower entrance, the formal disciples chanted once again.
A row of twelve disciples entered the tower in an orderly fashion once again.
Meanwhile, the first batch of disciples who had entered the tower began to emerge from within it.
The disciples who came out of the tower dared not make a sound and could only silently descend the steps on the left.
Then they walked to a corner of the square, away from the queue, for fear that the formal disciples would cause them trouble.
Once they reached a distance, the first group of disciples who had emerged from the tower immediately began whispering among themselves.
Everyone opened their own disciple roster, looked at the contents, and were completely bewildered.
On the roster of newcomers, the page for 'Cultivation Aptitude' reads: 'Spiritual Root: Earth type, Mortal level, Miscellaneous; Wood type, Mortal level, Counterfeit.'
The next paragraph reads: "Root and bone structure: C1".
Next paragraph: "Spiritual entity: None."
The next paragraph: "Comprehension: C1".
The others opened the rosters and compared them; the contents were largely the same.
Without knowing which is better or worse, one can only make a blind guess.
After a while, the second batch of disciples also came out of the tower.
Like them, they walked over quietly.
They immediately began looking through their respective rosters and discussing them.
In the section on spiritual roots, the types are all different, all of which are of the mortal level, but their grades vary.
Most of them are false, fake, and mixed; only a few are true.
A group of people talked at once, discussing for a long time, but they couldn't come to a conclusion.
After that, people entered the tower one after another, and people also left the tower one after another.
Those entering the tower looked tense, while those exiting looked bewildered.
But no matter who it is, the first thing they do after leaving the tower is to check their disciple roster.
Among the hundreds of disciples who have already left the tower, most of them have no entry for "spiritual body," with only a few having a specific name written on them.
One of the thin men was found to be a wind spirit.
The other beautiful woman was a water spirit.
There was also a burly man with superhuman strength.
Although no one knows what these spirits have to say.
But everyone knows perfectly well that the difference between having a spirit and not having one is like heaven and earth.
Those without spirits all looked on with envy.
A few others wore obvious expressions of jealousy on their faces.
They were coming in and coming out at the same time.
As more and more people came out, the discussion became increasingly heated.
Unbeknownst to many, a few people have become famous without even realizing it.
For example, those with good spiritual roots, those with good physical constitution, those with outstanding comprehension, and those with spiritual bodies.
Those who came out all waited here; no one wanted to leave.
It seems everyone wants to know whether others are stronger or weaker than themselves.
Further away, the disciples who had been stopped by the formal disciples and lost their qualification to conduct the investigation mostly watched helplessly, filled with regret.
Time slowly turned amidst the tense emotions of the disciples awaiting their test.
Before I knew it, it was already 4 a.m., and the sun was blazing, but I didn't feel hot.
At that moment, more formal disciples arrived in carriages.
The truck was full of huge buckets of steamed buns.
The steamed buns weren't very big, only about the size of an average adult's fist.
The carriage stopped in front of the line of disciples.
Then disciples stepped forward and distributed steamed buns to the disciples who had not yet conducted the inspection, one bun per person.
On the other side, there are also disciples who have already been examined, but they need to claim them themselves.
There were also three official disciples on duty.
There were no people who had lost their qualifications for investigation and had become menial disciples.
Because they were already considered menial disciples.
From that moment on, one must rely on one's own efforts to make a living.
They just haven't realized it yet; they're probably going to go hungry for two days.
By noon, more than three thousand disciples had been examined.
And now, it was finally the turn of Toyokawa and his group of twenty.
The first one to enter was Du Shaoling, who was ranked first among them.
Then came Sima Jinghong, Zhao Yunfei, Shangguan Fei, He Buwei, and Feng Chuan.
high speed.
However, it took a long time for Toyokawa's group to enter.
It took an extra cup of tea's time compared to the other rows, and then it returned to normal.
Then came Huangfu Chuxia, He Lanxi, Nangong Yue, Zheng Shucheng, Ma Shaoju, Li Qianru, Wang Ying...
After a short while, people from Toyokawa's group began to leave the tower.
Du Shaoling came out first, glanced at his name on the roster, and then closed it.
He didn't speak to anyone around him and stood there alone.
He was aware of the difference between good and bad aptitude; he had already learned about it while still on the spaceship.
This is the advantage of being one step ahead, and judging from the results, I can consider myself a little genius.
Although Du Shaoling's facial expression did not change much, the hint of smugness on the corner of his mouth could not be hidden.
"Spiritual Roots: Metal type, mortal level, human quality; Earth type, mortal level, jade quality; Wood type, mortal level, miscellaneous quality."
"Root and bone structure: Class B".
"Spiritual entity: None."
"Comprehension: Grade B"
That's quite an impressive qualification.
Once inside, it's a done deal, without a doubt.
Even in the future, there is still a chance to compete for a core disciple position.
Just as Du Shaoling was feeling smug, Sima Jinghong approached him.
The same thing happened; he glanced at the roster and quickly closed it again.
"Spiritual Roots: Fire type, mortal level, human quality; Earth type, mortal level, jade quality; Metal type, mortal level, true quality."
“Root bone: Grade B”
"Spiritual entity: None."
"Comprehension: Grade B"
"Hmm, not bad, not too bad~" Sima Jinghong's inner monologue.
"Brother Sima, you seem to be in a good mood?" Du Shaoling said, looking at Sima Jinghong.
"Really? Is it that obvious? I've tried my best to control myself." Sima Jinghong touched her face and replied in surprise.
"Damn, you didn't show it, but you just looked so cheap."
Hmm, I think I'm the same way. Oh well, it's nothing, it's just a basic skill!
Sigh, keep a low profile, keep a low profile~” Du Shaoling thought to himself that he looked down on the other person, but when it came to himself, he felt it was normal.
At this moment, Zhao Yunfei and Shangguan Fei came down, followed by He Buwei.
After waiting for about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Toyokawa finally arrived late.
The others who followed all returned normally.
Once all twenty people from the courtyard had come down, they gathered together and began to discuss in hushed tones.
Toyokawa glanced at his own roster, closed it after a moment, and frowned slightly.
"Spiritual Roots: Yin-Yang dual system, mortal level, earth grade; Five Elements system, mortal level, human grade."
“Root bone: Grade B”
"Spirit: Unknown".
"Comprehension: Grade A"
Toyokawa is acting strangely; what's with this "unknown spirit" thing?
Does it exist, or does it not?
Are there spirits that the Examiner Tower cannot detect?
If I can't figure it out, I really can't figure it out, so I might as well just stop thinking about it. Anyway, my talent and aptitude are pretty good overall.
It's worth showing off, hmm~, but who should I show it to?
Just then, He Buwei, the big mouth, spoke up: "Brother Feng, what are the results of the investigation?"
'What a coincidence! It's like a pillow being delivered to someone who's sleepy. Why not take it? You're great, I have high hopes for you!' Toyokawa thought to himself.
"Hehe, it's just so-so. It's definitely not as good as everyone here. Even if it is, it's probably only slightly better..." Toyokawa mumbled a lot.
"Stop talking nonsense and tell me the result." Sima Jinghong couldn't stand Fengchuan's smugness and interrupted him.
"Sigh~, Brother Sima is still so impatient!"
Okay, I'll tell you!
A divine root talent with dual Yin and Yang elements, classified as a mortal-grade Earth-level being.
The Five Elements system governs mortal character.
Root bone B;
Comprehension level: A (lower grade);
"The spirit is unknown." Toyokawa then shared his findings with everyone.
But after Toyokawa finished speaking, most people were confused.
The initial smugness vanished instantly.
'Damn it, I shouldn't have asked that stupid question. It's really messing with my mind.' He thought to himself.
But this is only the beginning!
Then they found out why the lemons were so sour.
As everyone shared their findings, it was truly eye-opening, like being stabbed in the backside with a knife.
Huangfu Chuxia, a master of both Water and Wood, possesses the spirit of Wood.
He Lanxi, with a Water Spirit Root and Water Spirit Body.
Nangong Yue possesses the Yin Spirit Root of Earthly Grade and the Spirit Body of the Moon.
Why not use a genuine earth spirit root and a stone spirit body?
Apart from these people and Toyokawa, everyone else looked like normal people.
Shangguan Fei and Zhao Yunfei both possess jade-grade spiritual roots.
Ma Shaoju and Li Qianru possess genuine spiritual roots.
Finally, most of the others were 'mixed, pseudo-spiritual roots'.
Everyone's physical attributes are in categories B and C.
Generally speaking, those with good spiritual roots will also have good physical constitution.
There were four spirits among them, which was beyond imagination.
The 'unknown' spirit of Toyokawa surprised everyone.
After a lively discussion, everyone agreed to pretend it never happened.
It seems that comprehension is somewhat related to reading; those who are good at reading tend to have higher comprehension.
This should actually be understood from the opposite perspective: those with high comprehension naturally excel at reading.
"By the way, Fengchuan, why did you take so long after entering the tower? Did something happen?" He Lanxi asked.
“Yes, you were delayed for a long time before you came out. What happened?” He Buwei asked.
"Oh, I'm confused about this too."
I went up to the first floor and directly chose a spiritual root testing room.
Then, following the instructions of the supervising disciple, he placed his hands in the groove of the ritual implement, waited for thirty breaths, and then came down.
However, the supervising disciple also did not know what had happened.
After waiting for a long time without receiving my name on the roster, they naturally couldn't let me leave.
I'll wait with you.
After waiting for almost the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, they finally handed out my name list.
I left after I got the roster.
Once we got to the third floor, weren't we supposed to examine the spirits?
The magical artifact didn't yield an accurate result for a long time.
Then it spoke up and told me to try again, but the result was the same.
They did this to me three times.
"In the end, everyone inside had no choice but to write 'unknown' on my name and send me away," Toyokawa said somewhat innocently.
"Fengchuan~, you really are extraordinary!" Huangfu Chuxia suddenly said.
The others nodded silently, almost unconsciously.
……
When we returned to Toyokawa to examine the spiritual root, inside the spiritual root examination room.
When Toyokawa's hand is placed into the slot of the ritual implement, the ritual implement is activated.
On the inner mirror surface of the ritual implement, various colored stripes began to shoot upwards wildly.
The Yin-Yang spiritual root's grade stripes surged to the peak of the King level before stopping, almost breaking the eternal iron law.
His Five Elements spiritual roots also remained at the peak of the minister level.
As for the purity stripes, the Yin-Yang spiritual root is at the peak of the Heavenly grade, and the Five Elements are at the peak of the Earthly grade.
This left both the operating disciple and the recording disciple completely bewildered, and they stood there dumbfounded for quite a while.
Then he immediately realized what was happening, ran out of the room, found the elder on duty, and reported the situation.
Upon hearing this, the elder on duty immediately stood up.
He dashed out of the duty room in one stride.
They took two steps at a time and entered the examination room.
When he saw the colorful stripes on the mirror, his eyes widened in shock, and then he was moved to tears.
"Heaven has not forsaken my Qingyun Sword Sect; my Qingyun Sword Sect will surely prosper," the elder on duty said softly.
He then tried his best to control himself and refrained from laughing out loud three times.
Then, he immediately realized what was happening and said, "You must not mention what happened today to anyone. Keep it to yourself, understand?"
The two disciples on duty dared not be careless and immediately swore an oath never to tell anyone.
The elder on duty then calmed down.
"Elder, what should we do with the disciple roster?" the clerk asked.
"Hmm, let me think... How about this, we'll write the grade as 'Mortal,' and the purity as 'Yin-Yang Dual-Element Earth Grade,' and 'Five Elements Human Grade,'" the elder replied.
"Oh, by the way, we still don't know this boy's name?" the elder asked again.
"Reporting to the elder, this new disciple is named Fengchuan, and this is his roster." The recording disciple immediately handed over the roster.
"It's him?" the elder asked in surprise.
Immediately, the elder opened the roster, glanced at it, closed it, handed it to the disciple who recorded it, and said, "Hmm, well done. Continue the examination. I'll be leaving now."
After the elder left, the recording disciple wrote down the results as instructed by the elder and then handed them out.
After leaving the examination room, the elder quietly went to the second floor.
After seeing Toyokawa enter the examination room, they went around to the back door and looked at the results.
Then they quietly went up to the third and fourth floors.
They didn't leave until they had finished reviewing the survey results of Toyokawa.
It is worth mentioning that after several unsuccessful attempts to obtain results in the third-floor testing room, the elder suggested writing down an unknown result.
The elder left the examination tower, mounted his flying sword, and went straight to the highest peak of the sect, arriving at the gate of the sect affairs hall.
"Reporting to the Sect Master, I, Zhang Jinlin, the Elder on duty at the Investigation Tower, request an audience."
"Come in," came the sect leader's voice.
Elder Zhang then entered the main hall and stood before the sect leader's desk.
"Elder Zhang, what brings you here?" the sect leader asked.
"Reporting to the Sect Master, there has been a problem at the Investigation Tower, so I came to report to you."
Elder Zhang then reported the findings of the investigation in Fengchuan to the sect leader.
"Oh, born to be a king?" The sect leader showed no change in expression, but was inwardly shocked.
How many years has it been? In the cultivation world, for countless years, there has never been a case of someone born to be a king. Even those born to be ministers are extremely rare.
Unexpectedly, my Qingyun Sword Sect has encountered someone 'born to be king,' and at this critical juncture no less.
Is it fate? Is it unable to bear seeing my Qingyun Sword Sect decline and perish?
"Yes, Elder Zhang, you've done very well! Such important information should be classified as a top secret of the sect. Not only the disciples, but even you and I should keep it a secret," the sect leader said solemnly.
Elder Zhang, understanding the implied meaning from the music, immediately made a vow, as if examining a disciple, to never reveal the secret to outsiders.
"Hmm, you did a good job on this. I will send someone to deliver the reward to you privately later," the sect leader said leisurely.
Elder Zhang beamed with joy and replied, "Thank you, Sect Master. It is my duty to serve the sect, and I dare not ask for any reward. I will take my leave now."
With that, Elder Zhang withdrew.
After Elder Zhang left, the sect leader calmed himself down.
"Someone is coming."
"What is the order from the sect master?"
"Go and retrieve the information from Toyokawa's mortal records."
"Yes, Sect Master!"
……
Several more hours have passed at the outer gate square, and there are not many disciples left who have not yet been tested.
It should take another hour or so to complete the testing.
Meanwhile, after their initial excitement, Toyokawa and his party calmed down.
They didn't wait for the inspection to finish before leaving together, mainly because it was almost lunchtime.
The group of people couldn't wait to walk back, and after another half hour, they finally arrived at the cafeteria.
After each person received a portion of food, they gathered together and enjoyed their meal.
After dinner, everyone stretched and then headed back to their lodgings together.
As for the results of the investigation, the sect will likely make them public in a few days.
