"... The Spring Immortal's Gate Conference has officially begun. I wish the various sects the best of luck in finding their best disciples, and for the geniuses participating in the Spring Immortal's Gate Conference to transcend mortality and become a true disciple of a sect."
Following the announcement of the Spring Immortal's Gate Conference by the Emperor of Xing Han Empire, a wide pathway appeared in the middle of the crowd. This pathway led directly to the marble platform in the middle of the square.
At this moment, the Emperor of Xing Han Empire stepped down. Two people in charge of recording the test results stood beside the crystal pillar.
A man in official robes walked to the middle of the marble platform with a leather scroll in his hand and shouted, "Chang Luo Prefecture's Ou Zuoce, come up to the stage. Wei Xi, prepare to take the test …"
As soon as the official finished reporting the two names, a young man in a golden robe quickly walked to the marble platform from the middle passage that was several tens of feet wide. He leaped up and landed on the marble platform. After landing on the platform, the young man did not proceed to take the test immediately. Instead, he turned around to look at the crowd in the square.
It has to be said that this young man's figure was very attractive. There were even some female spectators who screamed.
Shen Lian sneered, "This fella likes to show off too much. Unless his spiritual roots are heaven-defying, no sects would want him. This is because his improvement is limited."
The young man in gold stood in front of the crystal pillar. A yellow light shot up from the bottom of the crystal pillar, stopping only when it was five feet above the ground.
A person standing beside the crystal pillar announced, "Chang Luo Prefecture's Ou Zuoce, intermediate grade earth spiritual roots. Average to lower grade aptitude."
Mo Wuji saw that the young man in gold robes had a satisfied expression on his face. Clearly, he knew that with his spiritual roots, he would be able to join some sects and become an outer disciple.
However, the young man's expression soon froze. He did not see any sects interested in him.
Don't be fooled by the Emperor of Xing Han Empire's simple words. Those with spiritual roots could choose the sects they wanted to join. However, the prerequisite was that the sects you could choose had to be interested in you. If they were not interested in you, then it would be meaningless even if you had spiritual roots.
The young man in gold was stunned. The others did not care about him. The other man in charge of the spiritual roots test saw that Ou Zuoce was still standing on the stage. He said unhappily, "No sects chose you. Hurry up and go down."
"Yes, yes …" Ou Zuoce came to his senses and quickly walked down the stage with a flushed face.
Mo Wuji shook his head. Even if this fella was chosen by a sect, his achievements would not be too high. Putting aside the fact that he loved to show off his mediocre aptitude, when he failed to be selected, he was not disappointed but ashamed. This was not the mentality that one should have when pursuing the strong.
At this time, the testing pillar shone with a golden light that was close to nine feet.
"... Changluo County's Wei Xi, high-grade Metal Spirit Root, aptitude above average." The person in charge of the spirit root testing announced once more.
Following which, Mo Wuji saw the location of the two sects light up with a golden light. He looked at Shen Lian doubtfully and asked, "Shen Lian, these two sects should be interested in Wei Xi right? Why were there only two sects to choose from for a high-grade Spiritual Root? Could it be that all the immortal sects here want supreme-grade Spirit Roots? "
Shen Lian answered, "Of course not, unless it's those geniuses with top-notch aptitude. Under normal circumstances, after an Immortal Sect had chosen, the other Immortal Sects would not participate in the competition. Since there are two sects who have chosen, it should be these two sects that light up at the same time. Otherwise, you would only see one. "
"Earth Sect Golden Spear Sect and Fire Phoenix Sect have chosen Wei Xi at the same time. Wei Xi, please go to the sect to choose. Next, Chang Luo County's Cheng Fei, please come forward to take the test …"
The person in charge of the testing shouted once more.
Many fervent and envious gazes landed on Wei Xi. Not only did Wei Xi receive the favour of an Earth Sect, he could also choose his own sect.
Just as everyone's eyes followed Wei Xi's movements, a red light shot up into the sky and attracted everyone's attention. This light was about 1.5 meters tall, and if it rose a few more feet, it would reach the top. Not only that, this light was extremely dazzling.
Mo Wuji once again thought of Yan 'Er. Back when Yan' Er was taking the test, it was also a light that shot up into the sky.
The reason why Yan 'Er's light was not as bright as this Cheng Fei's was definitely because the testing pillar's grade was not high enough.
"Chang Luo County's Cheng Fei, supreme-grade fire-type spiritual roots, aptitude above …" The person in charge of the testing announced with a trembling voice.
Almost at the same time the person announced Cheng Fei's name, more than 10 sects lit up with golden light. Clearly, this Cheng Fei fella had attracted the attention of more than 10 sects.
"Quasi-Heaven Sect Heavenly Temple, Distant Fire Sect, Jade Luo Sect, Heavenly Demon Sect …"
As the person in charge of the testing announced the names of the sects, Shen Lian, who was beside Mo Wuji, whispered in shock, "What a fella, almost all the quasi-heaven sects in the entire Xing Han Empire have entered the fray."
Mo Wuji clenched his fists tightly. He thought of Yan 'Er, who had been snatched away by that wretched woman. This was the place that Yan 'Er should have come to, to let Yan' Er choose among these big sects, and not be snatched away.
With so many quasi-heaven sects to choose from, this was simply the treatment of a college entrance exam champion. Under the envious and respectful gazes of the crowd, Cheng Fei chose the Heavenly Temple.
After that, there were no more peak-grade spiritual roots. The best was only high-grade spiritual roots, and most of them were low-grade and intermediate-grade.
"Wuji, I actually have intermediate-grade earth-grade spiritual roots. I'm going to participate in the Spring Immortal's Gate test …" Ding Bu'Er's excited voice could be heard. Following which, Mo Wuji saw Ding Bu'Er rushing over.
"Bu'Er, congratulations." Mo Wuji was also happy for Ding Bu'Er.
"Why don't you try your luck?" Shen Lian looked at Mo Wuji suspiciously.
Mo Wuji did not reply. He only had mortal roots, how could he try his luck?
"Eh, Wen Manzhu is going up to take the test …" Ding Bu'Er said half a sentence and subconsciously stopped. He recalled the rumours between Wen Manzhu and Mo Wuji.
A red pillar of light shot up to eight feet before stopping. Mo Wuji sighed in his heart. This Wen Manzhu's aptitude was really not bad.
Indeed, the man in charge of the testing announced loudly, "Cheng Yu State's Wen Manzhu has fire-type high-grade spiritual roots. Aptitude above average."
Three sects lit up with golden light at the same time. Evidently, they were interested in the fire-type Wen Manzhu. When Mo Wuji saw the Heavenly Temple light up, he knew that Wen Manzhu would definitely choose the Heavenly Temple.
"This woman is really lucky." Ding Bu'Er said with slight jealousy.
Mo Wuji smiled slightly. So what if she has high-grade spiritual roots? Even if he did not have spiritual roots, he would not be any weaker than those with high-grade spiritual roots. Not being able to cultivate without spiritual roots was not suitable for him.
"Get lost. Why would there be such a beggar at the Spring Immortal's Gate Conference? What a disgrace to this grand conference … "A scolding voice came from behind Mo Wuji. Following which, Mo Wuji heard a painful groan.
Mo Wuji subconsciously turned around to take a look. When he saw a skinny woman with disheveled hair being kicked and falling to the ground, his heart skipped a beat. In the next instant, Mo Wuji had already rushed over.
It's Yan 'Er. That person must be Yan' Er. He was definitely not mistaken. But why was Yan 'Er here? And why did she end up like this?
(That's all for today's update. Good night friends. Immortal Mortal requests for votes!)
