"What is it?" Melaleuca Japonica turned to Yi Xin.
Yi Xin looked a little embarrassed but mustered her courage. "Martial Aunt, I heard that the candidates for the Spirit Cultivation team are about to be decided. How many people will be chosen this time?"
Melaleuca Japonica was taken aback. "Why are you asking?"
Yi Xin replied with an "Oh", then stammered, "This … I have a friend who, um, also wants to be on this list."
Melaleuca Japonica smiled. "The Spirit Cultivation team accepts odd-job disciples. Does your Yi family have odd-job disciples this year?"
Yi Xin quickly shook her head. "No, no, it's just … a friend I know. He's not from my family." She stole a glance at Melaleuca Japonica. "I just wanted to ask if you could give him a chance …"
Melaleuca Japonica looked at her with a faint smile. "Little girl, are you asking me to be biased?"
Yi Xin was startled and said, "Of course not, you've misunderstood. Isn't it stated in the rules that I, a direct disciple, also have the right to recommend candidates for the cultivation of spiritual power. That's why I'm recommending you."
Melaleuca Japonica thought for a moment. "Mm, the candidates will be announced in three to four days. I remember it's already full."
"Ah?" Yi Xin was shocked and disappointed. She mumbled, "Oh no! I'm too late." I came late. "While speaking, her expression became a bit dejected, carrying a bit of pleading expression, just looking at Yan Luo.
Melaleuca Japonica looked at her and suddenly laughed. "Little girl, why are you acting so pitiful? Fine, fine, you're about to become a Perfected Master's disciple. You'll be honored. Tell me your friend's name, and I'll see if I can put one in. But let me say this first, the cultivation of spiritual power has a requirement on the foundation of cultivation. If he can't pass the examination, then there's nothing we can do. "
"Of course, of course." Yi Xin was overjoyed. She nodded and smiled. "Thank you for your kindness, Martial Aunt. My friend's name is Lu Chen."
"Lu Chen?" Melaleuca Japonica frowned.
"Yes, that's right. Lu as in land, Chen as in dust, Lu Chen." Yi Xin hurriedly repeated herself as if afraid that Yan Luo had misheard her.
Melaleuca Japonica nodded. "Okay, I'll remember it."
Yi Xin beamed with joy. She chatted with Melaleuca Japonica for a while and then left.
Yan Luo shook her head with a smile on her face as she watched the girl's back disappear from her line of sight. She sat there and thought for a moment. Then she suddenly stood up and went to a cabinet. She opened one of the drawers and found a book.
At this moment, the smile on Yan Luo's face had disappeared. She picked up the scroll with an indifferent expression and flipped it open. Almost immediately, a piece of paper appeared on one of the pages. She opened the white paper and saw a few names written on it.
Melaleuca Japonica looked at the names one by one until her eyes stopped at the last name.
"Lu Chen" was written on it.
Melaleuca Japonica stared at the two words and raised her eyebrows slightly. After a moment, she suddenly whispered to herself, "What is the background of this Lu Chen? Why are there so many people secretly helping him?"
…
Three days later, Lu Chen received a notice from Zhou Kui, who was in charge of the Odd Job Disciples. He was asked to go to the Rock Mountain to be inspected. At that time, he was still working in the Spirit Field. When he heard the news, he was a little surprised. But on the way to the hall on the mountain, he saw Yi Xin waiting for him there with a smile on her face. He knew what was going on.
On this day, the weather was fine and sunny. Yi Xin stood under a verdant pine and cypress, smiling like a flower. Her youthful beauty attracted the attention of many odd-job disciples along the way.
Lu Chen deliberately lagged behind. When most of the others had passed, he walked up and whispered, "Is this Miss Yi's method?"
Yi Xin snorted and revealed a proud expression. She boasted, "What do you think? I'm not bad, right?"
Lu Chen gave her a thumbs up and said, "You did what you said. Amazing."
Yi Xin covered her mouth and laughed. She looked very happy. Then, she looked at the main hall in front of her and said in a low voice, "Don't be too happy too early. I heard that there will be about 50 people selected for the spiritual power cultivation this time. But just now, I saw that there were at least 60 people here. Don't be eliminated."
Lu Chen smiled and said, "There shouldn't be a problem. Cultivating spiritual energy is all about using one's own spiritual energy to stimulate and cultivate some special spiritual plants. Among them, the most suitable are the wood and earth elements. Although my talent is poor, I have an earth element divine pillar on the Five Elements Divine Disk."
Yi Xin clapped her hands and said with a smile, "That's good. Anyway, you can pass the test. You go up. I will find a way to peep from the side later. "
Lu Chen laughed but did not say anything. He walked to the hall on the mountain.
…
In the Great Hall of Rock Mountain, the Hundred Herb Hall's Odd Job Disciples were all gathered here. Lu Chen stood in the crowd and looked around. Sure enough, there was a huge crowd. There were indeed sixty to seventy people gathered here.
Although there were many people here, the main hall was not noisy. The Kunlun Sect was a place that attached great importance to rules. Even the handyman disciples had been taught many times after they entered the sect. No one dared to make noise here.
After a while, the first group of people came out from the back of the hall. The leader was Jin Dan Friar Melaleuca Japonica. Behind her were seven or eight disciples. Some were in the Foundation Establishment Realm, and some were in the Qi Refining Realm. They all seemed to be talented personal disciples, and their status was much higher than that of the Odd Job Disciples.
Melaleuca Japonica did not reprimand them. When she came to the hall, she directly sat on the main seat. Naturally, someone stood up and spoke to everyone. She briefly explained that today's test was to see who was more suitable for the Spirit Cultivation. Martial Aunt Melaleuca Japonica would personally supervise them.
Next, the personal disciples walked down and divided the Odd Job Disciples into several groups. They began the test. As for the test method, it was similar to the Celestial Inspection Mirror that most people used when they entered the sect. It seemed that Yi Xin was right. Baicao Tang was more concerned about the adaptability of the five elements.
Lu Chen was assigned to one of the groups. Soon, he realized that the examination wasn't slow at all. One by one, those whose name was called stepped forward and placed their hands on the Immortal Inspection Mirror's surface. The light reflected from the mirror would reflect the person's innate talent.
Not long after, someone called his name.
When the two words "Lu Chen" were called, Melaleuca Japonica, who was sitting at the top, glanced at him without batting an eyelid. In a corner at the back of the hall, Yi Xin secretly poked her head out and looked over worriedly.
Lu Chen walked over. He looked very calm. After placing his hands on the mirror, he closed his eyes and calmed himself down. Then, he began to circulate the spiritual energy in his body.
Deep in the mountains, there was suddenly a muffled rumble of thunder. It sounded faintly from the clouds.
…
Legend had it that some peerless geniuses would cause strange phenomena when they were appraising immortals.
The heavens and the earth trembled. Rainbow light streaked across the sky. Dragons in the clouds and tigers in the fog. Auspicious beasts soared in the air. These were all magical phenomena that were rarely seen in the cultivation world. However, very few people had seen them before. This was because almost all of these phenomena belonged to the Five Pillar Geniuses, who were one in ten thousand.
These lucky people seemed to be blessed by the heavens. Even when they were appraising immortals, their scenes were different. They were so high and mighty that people respected and respected them. As for ordinary people, ordinary cultivators and disciples, they could at most possess a few rays of light that corresponded to the spiritual energy of the five elements.
As for what was happening in this hall today, it was even more unlikely that there would be any accidents. This was because almost all the miscellaneous disciples were Pillar Disciples with the lowest talent. They only had one pitiful Pillar in their Spirit Sea Disc. They would only have one lonely ray of light that belonged to them.
Most of them would only be able to communicate with one type of spiritual power in their entire lives. This would also directly limit the upper limit they could reach on the arduous and distant path of cultivation in the future.
In the hall, the lonely and pure rays of light rose and fell. Everyone was silent, as if they were at the bottom of the world. They quietly accepted their fate and accepted this reality.
Lu Chen placed his hand on the mirror.
His expression was calm and natural. There was nothing out of the ordinary. There was no sign of nervousness either. He looked like an ordinary mortal who had already accepted his fate.
The Immortal Inspection Mirror began to tremble slightly.
Zhou Kui happened to be standing next to the Immortal Inspection Mirror. His expression was solemn, but he was actually a little bored. In any case, it looked like a boring and monotonous object. Thus, he didn't have much of a reaction at first. He even forgot that when ordinary Pillar Disciples came to inspect it, the Immortal Inspection Mirror would at most reflect light. There was no way it would tremble or anything like that.
That moment was like a white steed flashing past a crevice.
That moment was like a flash of lightning.
That moment was like the blink of an eye.
The Immortal Inspection Mirror suddenly emitted a faint light. The faint light trembled like ripples on the surface of water. Several strange faint lights intertwined, forming an incomparably chaotic and strange graffiti-like image. Immediately after, in that indescribably minute instant, a smear of black suddenly spread out and erased all the light.
The black was as deep as the sea.
The black light was like an eternal and lonely night.
However, a moment later, everything suddenly disappeared. As if a momentary blur, as if a passing cloud or a whirlwind, all the illusions were instantly annihilated without a sound.
There was no faint light, no strange color, and no darkness.
The Immortal Inspection Mirror calmed down and returned to its normal state, as if nothing had happened. In that instant, everything was like a dream. No one had the time to remember or see that strange scene.
The surface of the Immortal Inspection Mirror slowly lit up with a yellow light.
Lonely and bright.
… …
Zhou Kui grunted in acknowledgment. He nodded and said, "The purity of the earth element spiritual energy is not bad."
