Filthy Cultivation: I Pierced the Heavens with the Merit System

There was a queue below the stage, and a queue on the stage as well.

With elders watching from above and disciples of the Yanjian Sect observing from the platform, the rules on this testing platform were far superior to those below.

Once on stage, the cultivators who dared to push and shove below the stage became even more well-behaved than attentive students, and lined up very conscientiously.

Although there were over a hundred stone spheres on the stage used to test talent, there were so many people rushing up that even though Li Fuyao and the others were considered early to the stage, there were still quite a few people queuing up in front of them.

Li Fuyao and Bai Suifeng landed steadily. Although they weren't in the same line, they exchanged a knowing smile and looked at Yu Zhenzhen and the others who were chasing after them.

Xia Shangzhou was a little stage-frightened and didn't dare to speak much, but Yu Zhenzhen was different.

Seeing that there was a long queue in front of Li Fuyao and his sister, yet the two of them were still obediently waiting in line, a slight sneer appeared in her eyes and on her brows.

"Here, take these. These are the spirit stones I used to buy your spots."

"Those who have received the reward, step back. I'm going to test them first and teach them a lesson!"

As she used her purse full of spirit stones to buy seats from the people in front of her, she shouted arrogantly and loudly, as if afraid that Li Fuyao and her companion wouldn't hear her:

"They say they come from a prestigious family, but they're so stingy that they can't even part with a few spirit stones. The girls from our Yu family aren't as poor as some people."

"Yes, yes, yes, we're nothing compared to you, so rich and foolish!"

As Li Fuyao spoke, she pinched Bai Suifeng's arm, who was about to open his mouth, and then smiled and held up one hand to Yu Zhenzhen, gesturing with it:

"Weren't you going to show off your power? Please go first."

"Hmph, sharp-tongued, but it's probably too late for you now!"

Having been used to being teased, Yu Zhenzhen is no longer so easily agitated.

She merely gave a disdainful snort and walked casually toward the testing stone sphere, ignoring the curious glances from those around her.

The news of the betting game had already spread throughout the entire Yanjian City in the past few days. Yu Zhenzhen's red hair was extremely eye-catching. Now that the cultivators on the stage saw the protagonist of the gossip right in front of them, even if they were nervous about the upcoming test, how could they resist watching?

A barrage of scrutinizing gazes swept over Li Fuyao and her brother, as well as Yu Zhenzhen and the others, until the Xia Shangzhou group, who had never seen anything like it before, broke out in a cold sweat.

Li Fuyao ignored the probing gazes until she noticed Bai Suifeng grimacing and glancing at her furtively. Only then did she turn to look at her little brother and gently stroke the spot where she had just pinched him.

Just as she was about to say something, she caught a glimpse of a dazzling red light bursting forth in Yu Zhenzhen's direction.

"A Heavenly Spiritual Root! It's actually a rare Fire-attribute Heavenly Spiritual Root!"

The disciple responsible for recording the data spoke with a tremor in his voice, clearly shocked by the result.

He stared wide-eyed at the jade ruler that Yu Zhenzhen had grasped again, and exclaimed once more:

"Spiritual affinity level: 7! Cultivation level: Perfected Innate Stage!"

These words caused an uproar, even though everyone knew that Miss Yu was exceptionally talented. Even the elders, who had been sitting high above the world, rose to their feet with great interest.

"This is a Heavenly Spiritual Root! No wonder its appearance is different from ours. Indeed, geniuses always have their special qualities!"

"This is an exceptional talent, one in ten thousand would be an understatement. It is said that one can progress in cultivation by leaps and bounds in a day. The Yu family will surely produce another great master in the future!"

"It's truly progressing by leaps and bounds. They're said to be only eleven years old this year, and they've already reached the Innate Perfection stage at such a young age. Even if we ordinary people were born ten years earlier, we might not be able to catch up with that speed!"

The audience gasped in amazement. Following Yu Zhenzhen's smug gaze, they all looked at Li Fuyao and the other person, but after a few moments, they all looked away, finding it uninteresting.

"Tch, these two kids are quite good-looking, but they're a bit too narrow-minded. I wonder what kind of cultivation technique they've practiced, because they won't let us see how far their cultivation level has gone!"

"Don't say that. These two kids are no ordinary people either. My friend who works as an attendant for the young master of the Wang family said that they come from some hidden family and have wind and thunder spiritual roots!"

"So what if you have a wind and thunder spiritual root? Even good spiritual roots can have low affinity. If you keep hiding like this, your cultivation level will definitely not be up to par!"

Upon hearing this, Li Fuyao simply continued to use the Concealing Breath Technique, which she had recently acquired from the system shop. She didn't offer any further explanation, as she hoped for as many such comments as possible.

The more you suppress now, the higher you can rise later!

Not seeing a satisfactory reaction from Li Fuyao, Yu Zhenzhen frowned. Ignoring the test results of her three friends behind her, she walked over with her head held high and hands behind her back like a little peacock.

She first smiled at Bai Suifeng with a rosy smile, then crossed her arms and proudly boasted to Li Fuyao:

"Hey, have you seen my talent yet?"

"If you're scared now, it's not too late to admit defeat. I won't make things too difficult for you because of your brother!"

Upon hearing this, Li Fuyao chuckled as she glanced at the nearly finished procession ahead and nudged Bai Suifeng with her elbow.

"Brother, what she said is so scary, why don't you go first?"
