Third Senior Brother, who had a grave and stern expression on his face, talked endlessly about the situation within the Green Jade Door. After a long while, he changed the topic, "You're one of the five elements, and I remember that the sect has a set of Great Flame Desolation Technique. It should be very suitable for you. Of course, it's fine if you want to develop in the direction of metal. There are many metal cultivation methods in the sect. Moreover, if you join our Green Jade School, even if you're just a trial disciple, you'll get two Spirit Accumulation Pills every month. If you pass the test and become an official disciple, your share will double. Do you remember? "
Lu Ye quickly nodded. "I remember."
He was puzzled. "What does this mean? Why does it sound like he's trying to recruit me? If that's the case, as a cultivator who has opened one aperture, I have a great advantage. "
He was secretly proud of himself.
Third Senior Brother said again, "It's good that you remember. Sit down and calm your Qi. You may feel some pain later, but don't worry. This is just a process of testing your talent. Don't use your spiritual power to resist."
"Yes!" Lu Ye answered. He put his hands on his knees, palms facing up, and closed his eyes.
The next moment, he felt a surge of spiritual power. Although he was curious about what Third Senior Brother was doing, he couldn't open his eyes to look. When the spiritual power surged, Lu Ye felt a slight vibration under his buttocks. He guessed that it should be the formation on the disk.
Just as he thought, at this time, the eight pits on the edge of the disc had been filled with eight cocoon-sized crystals by Third Senior Brother. These were spirit stones commonly used by cultivators to set up formations, which was something Lu Ye had never seen before.
When Third Senior Brother activated the disk formation, the spirit stones embedded in the eight pits emitted a faint mist. The mist was the spiritual power stored in the spirit stones, which was converted into pure spiritual power by the formation.
Rich spiritual power quickly filled the space around the disk, but there seemed to be an invisible barrier around the disk, binding the spiritual power inside.
Lu Ye, who was sitting upright, was moved. Although his eyes were closed, he felt that there were many wonderful things around him. These things were drilling into his body, giving him a very comfortable feeling.
"Is this spiritual power?"
Lu Ye immediately reacted. Inhaling and exhaling the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth was one of the main means of cultivation for cultivators. Lu Ye had tried it before in the mine. Perhaps because of the terrain, he did not feel the existence of Spiritual Qi in the mine, so he could only choose the method of refining essence into Qi.
After being taken out of the mine by the old man surnamed Tang, he forgot to sense the Spiritual Qi in the world.
At this moment, he directly felt the existence of Spirit Qi.
However, when he recalled his Third Senior Brother's previous instructions, he forcefully endured this temptation and did not casually swallow it.
Opposite him, Third Senior Brother was making a hand seal, constantly activating the power of the formation. At the same time, his gaze was fixed on the saplings at the edge of the disk.
The array on the disc was specially used to test the level of talent. When Third Senior Brother activated the array, the eight spirit stones inlaid on the disc would release the stored spiritual energy, turning it into rich spiritual energy.
Through his actions, the spiritual energy would be drawn into the body of the person being tested and then flow into the array on the disc. As a result, the saplings at the edge of the array would undergo some changes.
To put it simply, Lu Ye's body, who was sitting on the round plate, was a transfer station. The spiritual energy would be transferred from his body to the formation, and then the eight saplings would undergo the necessary changes.
The more saplings that underwent changes, the higher the aptitude of the person being tested, and the lower the aptitude of the person being tested.
Fundamentally, this test was to see whether the flow of spiritual energy into the body was smooth or not. The smoother it was, the more suitable it was for cultivation and the higher the aptitude.
This was because the foundation of cultivation was to strengthen the spiritual energy in one's body. If the spiritual energy in one's body was not smooth enough, how could one cultivate?
Next to the disc array, Third Senior Brother continued with his actions, causing the eight saplings to remain motionless. He slightly frowned and increased the power of the array.
Lu Ye immediately frowned because he felt a faint stabbing pain in his body. It was as if a lot of external spiritual energy was drilling into his body, giving him the feeling of being pricked by countless needles. As time passed, the pain became more and more obvious.
When he was almost unable to bear it, the stabbing pain all over his body suddenly disappeared. At the same time, he heard Third Senior Brother's voice, "It's done."
Lu Ye quickly opened his eyes and let out a long breath. When he met Third Senior Brother's gaze, he found that Third Senior Brother was looking at him with an extremely complicated gaze.
This made his heart skip a beat, and he felt that something was wrong.
"May I ask Senior Brother, how is my aptitude?" Lu Ye asked.
Third Senior Brother did not say anything and only glanced at the disc. He reached out and brushed Lu Ye's jade tablet, then handed it back to him.
Lu Ye took it and found that on the back of the jade tablet, there was an additional character engraved on the side of his cultivation.
What does this mean?
Lu Ye wanted to get to the bottom of this, but Third Senior Brother clearly didn't want to talk, so he didn't want to pester him. He stood up from the disc and bowed to Third Senior Brother. "Thank you, Senior Brother!"
When he turned around and walked out, he saw that one of the eight bare saplings on the disc had a crisp leaf growing out of it …
Did the word 'one' on the back represent a sapling? He secretly guessed.
"Little friend!" Third Senior Brother suddenly called out.
Lu Ye, who had walked to the door, turned around. "What are your orders, Senior Brother?"
Third Senior Brother said, "Little friend, pretend that you didn't hear what I said to you just now."
Lu Ye: …
He walked out of the tent and took a few deep breaths. A strong sense of crisis welled up in his heart.
Although Lu Ye wasn't sure whether his aptitude was high or low, just from Third Senior Brother's words and attitude, Lu Ye had a very bad feeling.
His aptitude was most likely a little … extraordinary.
He had to find someone to confirm it.
Lu Ye turned his head and looked around. Suddenly, he saw a figure standing quietly in a corner. He walked over.
Halfway there, the figure also saw Lu Ye and waved at him with a smile.
When he got close, Lu Ye greeted, "Miss Yu."
Yu Xiaodie gracefully bowed. "Older Brother Lu."
It was obvious that Yu Xiaodie's mood was much better than yesterday.
She had completed the test and the results were good.
Lu Ye picked up the jade tablet in his hand and handed it over. "Help me take a look and see what's going on with my aptitude."
Yu Xiaodie took it and smiled. "Since Older Brother Lu can open the spiritual cavities, your aptitude must be … not bad!"
When she said the last two words, she saw the character on the back of the jade tablet. Her eyelids couldn't help but twitch and her tone became hesitant.
Seeing her reaction, Lu Ye suddenly understood.
His aptitude seemed to be a little lacking?
"Miss Yu, how is your aptitude?" Lu Ye asked.
Yu Xiaodie said, "About the same as Older Brother Lu."
Lu Ye waved his hand. "No need to comfort me. I understand the general situation. Is it that the smaller the number, the lower the aptitude?"
Yu Xiaodie pursed her lips. She wanted to comfort Lu Ye but didn't know how to say it. In the end, she could only nod. "Yes."
"No wonder." Lu Ye remembered the last words of his third senior brother and secretly thought that cultivators were also very realistic.
Yu Xiaodie said, "Older Brother Lu, don't be discouraged. The current test is not accurate and the formations used are not high level. There will occasionally be mistakes."
Lu Ye smiled. "Although I don't know what the formation is, since the results are out, I can only face it calmly."
Yu Xiaodie looked at him curiously. "Older Brother Lu, do you really think it's okay?" Lu Ye's carefree attitude didn't seem to be faked. Ordinary people would be discouraged if they received such a result.
Lu Ye looked not far away and smiled slightly. "Compared to those people, I'm already very lucky to be able to open the spiritual cavities."
Following his gaze, there was a large group of people gathered there. They were all people who didn't have the aptitude for cultivation and had been eliminated.
The Liu brothers were among them.
