Pu Shan Square's Three Sects Disciple Selection Ceremony lasted for three days. There was a sequence to the selection process.
First, the mortal spirit children entered. This batch of people was selected from all over the country of Dong Jiang. They were all under ten years old, and the youngest was only six years old.
Actually, mortals also had extravagant hopes that they could test their spirit roots and enter a sect to cultivate.
This was equivalent to reaching the heavens in a single bound. Usually, the sect would register the family that tested their spirit roots.
Then, they would be given a settlement fee, which was not to be underestimated.
If it was in a mortal country, it could be said that they were directly at the level of nouveau riche.
However, the selected spirit children usually had to enter the sect and cultivate until they reached the seventh level of Qi Refinement before they were allowed to go out or visit their family.
If he died halfway, the sect would not care at all, because the cultivation world was so cruel.
However, the sect was more inclined to accept spirit children because they were trained from a young age and had a high degree of recognition for the sect. Moreover, they would not easily betray the sect.
In the cultivation world, there had been sect rebellions, but it was always those who joined the sect at a later stage who stirred up trouble or led a wolf into the house.
In the end, it was the disciples who were once spirit children that completely calmed the riot.
Therefore, the major sects had always valued the test of these spirit children.
Moreover, among the high-level cultivators of the sect, seven out of ten were spirit children.
Firstly, the sect supported spirit children very much. The treatment given in the beginning was not comparable to that of a cultivator who joined the sect halfway.
Secondly, many high-level cultivators liked to take in spirit children as their disciples because they were kind-hearted and had not experienced many things in the world.
Therefore, as long as they were properly guided, they would not betray the sect. Even if they betrayed the sect, they would not turn around and go against the sect.
At this time, Pu Siyuan was boasting. Yi Tian, Wu Xing, and Wu Minting were listening in a daze.
So there was such a thing in the disciple selection. Wu Xing interrupted from the side, "Then people like us don't have a chance."
Pu Siyuan looked and continued with a smile. This was just the beginning of the disciple selection ceremony.
Although all the spirit children would be tested first, according to the test results, the three sects would deal with them appropriately.
Xuan Ling Sect took in 40% of the disciples, Iron Sword Gate took in 40%, and Chiyang School took in 20%.
Yi Tian wondered if Xuan Ling Sect and Iron Sword Gate had picked the better ones first.
It was no wonder that Chiyang School was ranked at the bottom of the three schools.
If this continued for more than ten years, the gap between the three sects would only widen.
It turned out that Chiyang School had been tricked in the first round, and now it was time for the second round.
After they returned, they would conduct an entrance examination and conduct a second round of screening to eliminate the weak ones.
In this way, Chiyang School was using the human wave tactic. With a large base, there would always be a few outstanding people who could stand out.
Yi Tian was getting more and more impressed with the decision makers of Chiyang School. He turned around and looked at Wu Xing. He was probably still in the dark.
This second round of screening was probably the real test. The trials in the Ice Soul Cave must be very cruel.
It seemed that the spirit children would not participate. Different people have different lives. It was said that every time Chiyang School went to the Ice Soul Cave, more than ten people would die.
Just as Yi Tian was lost in thought, Pu Siyuan began to show his skills again.
The second day was the skills test, but anyone who was confident in their skills could participate.
Moreover, the level of cultivation could be relaxed to Qi Refining Stage Four, but they still had to be tested for spirit roots. After he finished speaking, he looked at Yi Tian and Wu Xing.
Actually, Pu Siyuan was sizing up Wu Xing. He had heard that he was an alchemist.
Recently, he had sold a lot of qi-gathering elixirs in Xi City and had stolen the customers of Pu Family's Deren Hall.
Fortunately, the Pu Family did not care about this. High-grade herbs were the best way to make money.
But this Wu Xing … Pu Siyuan looked at him and then looked at Wu Min. He did not think too much about it.
Seeing that Yi Tian was completely in a daze, Wu Xing boldly asked Pu Siyuan what the third day of the disciple test was about.
After sizing up Wu Min's attire, Pu Siyuan gave an answer. First, they would be tested for spirit roots. Then, they would compete in skills or martial arts. As long as they were confident, it would be fine.
So the third day was the big event. In the past, there would be bloodshed. In serious cases, it was not impossible for a few people to die.
After hearing this, Wu Xing looked at his sister worriedly. But when he saw that Wu Min did not seem to mind, he was relieved.
Yesterday, he had heard that his sister had gone to test her saber alone. When she came back, she had bet her entire fortune on him being able to take the Iron Sword Gate's disciple test. Moreover, she had bet that he would take first place.
She had even encouraged him to bet. Wu Xing had bet fifty spirit stones, but he had been scolded by his sister.
At this time, Yi Tian pointed to a sign erected at the side of the square. There were many heads below it. It seemed like they were buying and selling some goods.
Pu Siyuan smiled gracefully. This was the Pu Family's business. It was specially opened before the disciple selection ceremony.
In any case, there would always be people who liked to gamble. Every year, the Pu Family made a lot of money from this.
Yi Tian walked over to take a look. The whole sign only had bets for Xuan Ling Sect and Iron Sword Gate. The list above was the list of cultivators who had already signed up.
Looking from top to bottom, Yi Tian found Wu Min's name and the number next to her name. It should be the current odds. The third number was the number of spirit stones that had already been bet.
Yi Tian looked at Wu Min. The odds of winning was one to ten. Now that she had bet one hundred and fifty spirit stones, it was not too outrageous.
The most outrageous bet was a one to one bet one thousand spirit stones. The person who was bet on was called Chou Renjiu.
This brother's odds were much lower, only one to three. He was probably a little famous.
The one with the lowest odds was a person called Zhou Huan. She bet three to four, which meant that she would only get a little more than thirty percent of the return.
This person was awesome. He was probably a famous young expert. He had the most bets, with a total of more than five thousand spirit stones.
Yi Tian knew about this bet. Regardless of winning or losing, the Pu Shan Sect would take ten percent of the profits. After all, the Pu Shan Sect was the boss here.
They had already won a lot of money even before the bet. This was much more shady than the Four Seas Casino.
Today, Yi Tian finally understood what gambling was. In the past, those cheats were all done on the gambling equipment.
Now, the cultivation world was all about people. Wasn't it more interesting?
Pu Siyuan patted Yi Tian's shoulder to ask him why he didn't want to gamble. Yi Tian shook his head, indicating that he was not interested.
In fact, Yi Tian was also afraid of exposing his identity. He still had eight hundred spirit stones on him. He could bet on Wu Min to win first place. He was very confident in his refining magic tools, but he could not bear to bet on Pu Siyuan's spirit stones.
Speaking of spirit stones, Yi Tian also felt strange. That day when he negotiated with the strange person at De Xing Lou, he only asked for five hundred spirit stones.
But the other party always countered with a hundred spirit stones. No matter how much he reduced the price, the other party still insisted on a hundred spirit stones.
In the end, he even added a broken ghost head blade to complete the deal. After the deal was completed, he took the Jujue Sword and a storage bag and left. He did not even touch the food on the table.
When the waiter paid the bill, he asked for two hundred spirit stones. Yi Tian was so scared that he almost fainted.
Today's deal was a loss. He had paid two hundred spirit stones for the food, so he lost a hundred spirit stones.
Later, he even clamored to see Pu Siyuan and let him know how De Xing Lou cheated his friend.
After a while, the waiter said that even if Pu Siyuan came, he would also pay the same price. This De Xing Lou was not under his management.
When Yi Tian heard this, he gave up. But he only had fifty spirit stones on him, so he could only open the storage bag. He found that there were a thousand spirit stones inside.
This person was saying that he could not afford to pay five thousand spirit stones. At most, he would only pay a thousand spirit stones.
He should have said it earlier. Why did he have to make gestures? This kind of fat sheep deserved to be slaughtered.
When he returned to De Xing Lou at night, he saw Wu Min playing with her fat dog. This was the name that Yi Tian had given to the Ice Glass Fox.
Because now it looked like a barrel-shaped dog.
He did not know what Wu Min was feeding it. It kept following behind and chewing something in its mouth.
In the evening, Wu Xing came to Yi Tian with good intentions and gave him a few bottles of Beast Spirit Pills.
He also told Yi Tian to raise the Ice Glass Fox well. It might be useful in the future. He also told him not to feed it with bull meat anymore.
If it did not lose weight, it would be really troublesome. Finally, he also reminded Yi Tian that the Ice Glass Fox might advance.
It was just that he could not find a suitable place to cultivate. It was best to keep it in the spirit beast bag.
When it snowed in winter, he would let it run in the snow. The Ice Glass Fox liked cold environments.
After that, the fat dog's after-meal entertainment time ended. Yi Tian forced it to eat Beast Spirit Pills and then locked it in the spirit beast bag.
Yi Tian also made three rules with it. In the future, there would be no more bull meat. It could only eat Beast Spirit Pills every day.
Also, it had to be let out twice a day for no more than two hours each time. The Ice Glass Fox was so angry that it cried. Fortunately, Wu Min begged for mercy. In the end, it was changed to three times a day.
In order to thank Wu Xing for his advice, Yi Tian gave a black leather armor to Wu Xing. Anyway, it was pulled from Tian Fei's body.
Yi Tian felt that the smell of blood was too strong. After washing it again, he engraved a sturdy inscription on it.
However, looking at it today, it did not seem to be worn by Wu Xing. Instead, his sister's figure looked curvy today. It should be because the leather armor was more flexible.
This morning, the Wu siblings came early to ask Yi Tian to go to the Pu Shan Square to take a look. On the way, they bumped into Pu Siyuan, so they chatted while walking.
Seeing groups of children waiting in line to be tested for their Spirit Roots, Yi Tian felt that they were really lucky. However, there was also misfortune waiting for them.
When everyone went in, they were full of hope. Once they were tested to have Spirit Roots, they would soar to the sky. However, children without Spirit Roots could only go home and farm.
He still had the formula for the Qi Drawing Powder on him. He did not know if it would be useful for these children. He had to find an opportunity to talk to the people of Chiyang School about this matter.
After thinking about this, he pulled Wu Xing to Chiyang School to register for tomorrow's skill test.
This time, Chiyang School had sent two people to participate in the three sects' disciple selection.
One was the weapon refiner Ning Yuxuan, who was in the ninth layer of Qi Refining. The other was the alchemist Fu Haiming, who was in the early stage of Foundation Establishment.
The other two sects only sent one person in charge. Because they did not need to recruit too many people, things were more relaxed.
When it was Yi Tian's turn to register, the cultivator who registered was a man in the eighth layer of Qi Refining. He was dressed like a Confucian scholar. He was Fu Haiming's disciple.
In fact, Yi Tian disliked this kind of person the most. There was no other reason. When he was in the Four Seas Casino, many Confucian scholars looked down on the people in the casino.
Therefore, the two sides gradually disliked each other. In the end, it was a matter of habit.
