Seeing this, Lu Ye immediately understood that this test was divided into two levels. The first was to check whether or not one had the aptitude to cultivate, and the second was to check one's innate talent.
Aptitude and talent were different. The former determined whether a person could cultivate or not, and whether they were qualified to cultivate. The latter determined how high a person's future achievements would be. In theory, the better one's talent, the higher one's future achievements would be.
Of course, the innate talent test here was limited by the conditions, so it was only a general test. There was no guarantee that it would be completely accurate, but it would always be close to the mark.
Lu Ye wasn't worried about his aptitude. He had already opened his apertures, so he was definitely able to cultivate.
As for his innate talent, it was hard to say. He didn't know what his innate talent was like, so he had to go to the back of the tent to test it.
The first person with cultivation aptitude had already appeared, causing the originally deathly silent line to have a trace of vitality. Suddenly, a feeling of being able to cultivate appeared in everyone's hearts.
However, reality was cruel in the end.
In the following test, more than ten people were eliminated before one person with cultivation aptitude finally appeared.
The previous scene repeated itself.
The long line kept shortening, one slave after another, going from expectation to disappointment …
In general, there would always be one person with cultivation aptitude among more than ten people. This ratio was similar to Lu Ye's understanding of the situation.
He stood at the back of the line, but because the speed of the test was very fast, he stood in front of the table in less than an incense stick's worth of time.
"Have you opened your apertures?" the cultivator behind the table asked in a monotonous manner.
"I've opened one aperture," Lu Ye replied honestly.
The cultivator immediately raised his head and looked Lu Ye up and down, then smiled and said, "Good, finally there's someone who's opened his apertures."
Although there were seven or eight people who passed the aptitude test before, they didn't open their apertures. In this line, Lu Ye was the first to open his spiritual apertures!
"Come, put your hands on this." The cultivator pointed at the crystal ball on the table.
Lu Ye didn't understand. Wasn't this thing used to test aptitude? He had already opened his spiritual apertures, so what else did he need to test?
The cultivator seemed to have seen Lu Ye's confusion, so he explained, "Over here, not only do we test your aptitude, but we also check your attribute."
"Affiliation?" Lu Ye was even more confused. He had never heard of such a thing.
Perhaps because Lu Ye had opened his spiritual cavities, the cultivator patiently explained, "Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth. Among the five elements, everyone's spiritual energy will lean towards one of them. This is known as the element, and each element has its own focus."
"So that's how it is!" Lu Ye was suddenly enlightened, but he was also puzzled. "Then before …"
The cultivator smiled: "They haven't even opened their spirit cavities, so they don't have any spirit energy to check their attributes"
"So that's how it is." Lu Ye understood and raised his hands to cover the crystal ball.
"Infuse your spirit energy into it" the cultivator ordered.
Lu Ye did as he was told. At the same time, he stared at the changes in the crystal ball. He was also curious as to what kind of subordinate he was.
The crystal ball lit up first, which meant that Lu Ye had the potential to cultivate. However, for someone like him who had already been enlightened, such a result was meaningless.
What happened next was the true test of the profession.
Under Lu Ye's watchful eyes, an orange flame suddenly appeared inside the crystal ball, burning fiercely!
This scene caused his pupils to contract involuntarily, because this orange flame looked … very familiar.
"Oh?" The cultivator behind the table raised his eyebrows and said excitedly: "Fire is the main element of the five elements, and there's also a bit of the metal element. Not bad, not bad. Alright, let's stop."
Lu Ye could understand that his main element was fire. After all, he was able to open his spirit cavities thanks to his Talent Tree. It was because the Talent Tree swallowed a ball of orange flame that he was able to open his spirit cavities.
The leaf on his Talent Tree that carried the Sharp Spirit Mark was also burning fiercely.
However, he couldn't understand the metal element. He only faintly felt that it might be his original attribute.
"Put this away and go to the tent in the back to find my Third Senior Brother." The cultivator handed Lu Ye a jade tablet. Lu Ye thanked him and took it. He saw his name engraved on one side of the jade tablet, with the word "1" at the bottom, which should mean that he had opened one of his spirit cavities. On the other side, his attribute was engraved.
Lu Ye walked past the table and headed towards the back.
Not far away, there was a temporary tent set up. Those who had passed the aptitude test had all come here to check their talent.
Standing in front of the tent, Lu Ye first excused himself, then opened the curtain and walked in.
The tent wasn't small, and there was a cultivator with a meticulous and cold expression sitting cross-legged on a praying mat, resting with his eyes closed. This must be the Third Senior Brother.
Not far in front of Third Senior Brother, there was a round plate made of some unknown wood. The round plate was about the size of a table, and there were eight pits on its edge. Next to the pits, there were some small, bare saplings.
Lu Ye came in front of him and cupped his fists. "Lu Ye greets Senior Brother. This is my jade tablet. Please check it."
The Third Senior Brother opened his eyes and took the jade tablet. After looking at it, he raised his eyebrows. "You've opened your spirit cavities?" He gestured with his hand. "Sit."
It seemed that this round plate was something to test one's talent. Lu Ye walked over and sat cross-legged in the center. He inadvertently glanced at it and found that there were many profound and complicated patterns and patterns engraved on it.
Spirit patterns? Lu Ye suddenly became interested and looked carefully. However, with his current eyesight, he couldn't tell what these spirit patterns were used for.
The only spirit pattern he knew was sharpness.
There were many spirit patterns engraved on the round plate, and they were very dense. They were closely connected to each other.
These weren't just spirit patterns. Lu Ye came to a realization and remembered something he had heard before.
This was a formation!
The array was constructed from spirit runes?
"Cough!" The Third Senior Brother's light cough interrupted his thoughts. Lu Ye quickly sat upright.
Their eyes met, and after a short silence, the Third Senior Brother opened his mouth. "Our Green Jade School is located in the hinterland of the War Province, Cangluan Mountain. There are three hundred large and small spirit mountains. In terms of overall strength, we are ranked in the top five in the War Province. The School Master and the Vice School Masters are all in the Spirit Sea Realm. Under the School Master, there are hundreds of True Lake Realm cultivators …"
Lu Ye originally thought that the Third Senior Brother was a man of few words, but now he realized that he was wrong.
The moment the Third Senior Brother opened his mouth, he kept introducing the various situations of the Green Jade School. Lu Ye was confused, but he didn't understand.
Moreover, for some reason, the Third Senior Brother's words gave him a strong sense of deja vu.
When the Third Senior Brother started talking about how the Sword Sect was like, how the Dharma Sect was like, how the Sword Sect was like, and how the Dharma Sect was like, Lu Ye's sealed memories started surging.
The corner of Lu Ye's mouth twitched. He thought to himself, 'Is this the introduction of the cultivation world?'
