On the first day of the three sects' selection, a total of 28 children were tested to have spiritual roots.
Among them, there were three who had dual spiritual roots while the rest had three or four elements.
The leaders of the three sects had reached an agreement beforehand that the high-grade spiritual roots would be divided equally. Chiyang School would only take 20% while Xuan Ling School and Iron Sword Gate would take 40%.
Fu Haiming's biggest reward this time was finding a child with dual spiritual roots of fire and earth.
He even sent a flying sword message to the sect leader, who told him to bring the child back at all costs.
He had already explained this to his disciple, Liao Fan. Even if the other spirit children died, as long as this child was alive, the sect leader would not blame him.
At that time, Yi Tian and the other two were the scapegoats. When Liao Fan saw Yi Tian's outer disciple uniform, he entrusted the five children to him. Oh, no, he threw them to him.
He carried the dual spiritual child and ran away. It was obvious that he would rather die than himself.
Yi Tian had no other choice. Although escaping was more important, looking at these spirit children, he could not just leave them there and not care about them.
Among the five children, one was a girl and the other four were boys. Yi Tian protected three of them while Wu Xing and Tang Lin carried one each.
After fleeing for nearly two hours in the forest, the Seven Fiend Witches in the sky followed closely behind. Both sides did not clash head-on.
Although there was no confrontation, Yi Tian knew that the person on top of him had a stomach full of anger. If he showed himself, he would have to suffer a thunderous blow from her.
After running for a long time, the spirit children were scared. When they saw many burning bone spears falling from the sky, they panicked even more.
Yi Tian remembered that the girl on his back was called Wan Zi. She was eight years old and also came from a poor family.
Villagers could not come up with any good names. This time, she had a younger brother who passed the test.
When they were at the resting area of Pushan Square, he thought that she was cute and played with her.
During this escape, Yi Tian took care of Wan Zi and carried her on his back first.
When the boy saw those bone spears, he trembled in fear. The scene from before was still fresh in his mind, not to mention that the girl had seen the bone spears burn three people alive two hours ago.
Following Meatball's scream, Yi Tian knew that things weren't looking good. They were about to be exposed. He hurriedly covered Meatball's mouth with his hand, indicating for her to stop screaming.
The whistling sound in the sky was getting closer. It was likely that the Seven Evil Witch was approaching.
Yi Tian stood up and turned around to instruct Wu Xing and Tang Lin to look after the children while he went to lure the enemy away.
Wu Xing also insisted on following to help. Yi Tian nodded, turned around, and said a few words to Tang Lin before running off into the distance.
After running for some distance, Yi Tian took out a handful of Phoebe Phoebe seeds from his storage bag and formed a seal with both hands. In an instant, a thick wooden stake was ready to be launched.
He turned around to look at the pursuers in the sky and told Wu Xing to attract their attention.
Wu Xing was also panicking, but when he saw Yi Tian's serious expression, he clenched his teeth and directly shot a fireball at the pursuers in the sky.
Yi Tian was stunned. Wu Xing's battle awareness was too bad. No wonder he could only defend.
The Seven Evil Witch had been playing cat and mouse in the sky for about two hours. It was about time.
If they delayed any longer, the enemy's main force would arrive. At that time, they wouldn't be able to escape. Although their identities were special, not all of the Foundation Establishment cultivators in Chiyang School knew them.
If they accidentally killed them, it wasn't worth the risk.
They originally wanted to fight for a while and retreat if they couldn't find them. However, they didn't expect that the little cultivators below them would begin to counterattack.
Then, he urged the flying sword beneath his feet to fly straight towards Wu Xing.
After shooting a fireball, Wu Xing saw the Seven Evil Witch flying over. He was scared out of his wits and ran away.
Yi Tian hid to the side and waited for an opportunity. When he saw that the pursuers in the sky were condensing bone spears, he jumped out and aimed at the Seven Evil Witch and shot a wooden shield at her.
The Seven Evil Witch was looking at her prey on the ground when she suddenly heard a gust of wind and hastily dodged.
The wooden shield brushed past her body, but it blew away her veil.
Yi Tian used his Spirit Vision and saw that the Seven Evil Witch was wearing a white robe and a purple veil with the White Bone Gate symbol on her cuffs.
She wore a veil on her face and her hair was tied up in a bun with a hairpin.
Her figure was exquisite and her feminine features were obvious. She should be a beautiful woman.
When the veil was blown away, Yi Tian saw that half of the Seven Evil Witch's face was very delicate and pretty. She looked like a young girl in her twenties.
The other half of her face was blurry and looked like it was burned. He couldn't help but be startled.
This time, it was the Seven Evil Witch's turn to flip out. She shot the bone spears in her hands at Yi Tian and Wu Xing, scaring them into hastily dodging.
Wu Xing had just seen the power of the green flames and hurriedly took out the pill furnace from his storage bag.
He held it with his left hand and opened the lid with his right hand. He shot the fireballs he had stored inside into the sky.
Yi Tian couldn't help but sigh. Everyone had their own trump cards. It seemed that Wu Xing's alchemy wasn't fake.
Since he had stored his fireballs in the pill furnace, he could use them as offensive magic tools.
Yi Tian's hand movements weren't slow. In this forest, he felt that using his wood spiritual qi was much more comfortable than using his fire spiritual qi.
He had to use his magic techniques with great power. If he took advantage of the environment, he might be able to stall her.
He held two nanmu seeds in each hand and poured his spiritual qi into them. Four wooden shield stakes revolved around him.
Yi Tian sneered at the Seven Evil Witch and said, "Go!" Three wooden stakes flew over.
He waited for half a beat before shooting the fourth one. Since he couldn't beat her, he would use his wits.
This time, it was the Seven Evil Witch's turn to suffer. After her bone spear intercepted the three wooden shield stakes, she saw another one flying towards her. It was too late for her to make a move.
She hastily opened her barrier and dodged to the side. The wooden shield stake brushed past the edge of the barrier and flickered, causing the barrier to dim.
Yi Tian felt that it was a pity that he didn't hit her head on. However, he had already successfully angered the Seven Evil Witch. If he didn't run now, when would he?
After Yi Tian and Wu Xing met up, they hastily ran forward. The Seven Evil Witch sneered at them from the sky.
She put her palms together and a ball of green flames appeared in her palm. She blew out a mouthful of air and blew the fireball towards the two.
This time, the green fireball was too fast for the two to dodge.
Wu Xing pushed the cauldron out with his palm, and with the support of his spirit qi, the enlarged cauldron turned into a shield in front of him. Yi Tian also poured his spirit qi into the cauldron.
The fire shield became even thicker and the two spells collided with each other, creating a loud sound.
The Seven Evil Witch hastily formed hand seals and her fireball became even more dazzling. However, the red and green spells that were originally evenly matched began to change and the green flames slowly corroded them.
Yi Tian saw that it wasn't going to work, so he quickly increased the output of his spirit qi. Wu Xing also took out the wine bottle from before, drank it all in one go, and threw the bottle away.
The two of them went all out at the same time, creating a stalemate.
A white light flashed on the horizon. When the Seven Evil Witch saw that the fight had attracted the attention of the Chiyang School's cultivators, she hastily stopped her cultivation and fled.
Before she left, she glared at Yi Tian. However, she also gently glanced at Wu Xing, scaring the two.
A moment after the Seven Evil Witch left, a middle-aged cultivator dressed like a scholar arrived at the scene of the fight. When he saw Yi Tian and Wu Xing sitting on the ground, he hastily landed and asked what happened.
Recently, Tang Lin had run into some bad luck. When he came to participate in the three sects' disciple selection, he spent almost all of his spirit stones.
His biggest loss was when he bought a long sword from a dark stall owner at a street stall in the West Market of Pu Shan Fang.
According to the stall owner, as long as he poured his spiritual qi into the sword, he would be able to slash at least three inches deep. Tang Lin bought the sword.
Tang Lin only bought it because he believed in the rumors. However, he didn't listen to the rest of the stall owner's words. He had to use magic to coordinate with it.
Tang Lin didn't practice any powerful offensive spells, so he definitely wouldn't be able to pass the test. Thus, he had no choice but to participate in Chiyang School's second selection.
On the Sky Patrol Ship, he met a Chiyang School's outer disciple who was chatting with a pill refiner. He originally wanted to get close to them.
However, he didn't expect that they would become so friendly. Afterward, he spent his last two spirit stones to treat the two of them to a meal at the World's Edge Pavilion.
He thought that he could stick together and take care of each other in the future. However, he didn't expect that the Sky Patrol Ship would be forced to land and he would be covered in injuries.
His arm was fractured, and he had to take care of five children. He wanted to cry, but no tears came out. His hopes were dashed.
At this moment, among the nine people sitting on the magic tool, Tang Lin saw Yi Tian and Wu Xing meditating.
The two of them were exhausted from playing and almost died.
Meanwhile, the five Spirit Children were looking around at the land below.
Previously, they had stayed in the cabin on the Sky Patrol Ship. They were protected and couldn't see the scenery outside.
Now that the crisis was over, they were in a good mood. They even chatted from time to time.
The Foundation Establishment expert standing behind them was the Vice Commander of Chiyang School's Discipline Hall, Gao Yuanfan.
This time, when the Sky Patrol Ship was in trouble, Fu Haiming immediately informed the sect. After the Discipline Hall received the message, everyone was dispatched to help.
The Discipline Hall's Hall Master also stated that enemies were to be killed without mercy. However, rescuing the Spirit Children was the main contribution.
Gao Yuanfan, who was standing at the tail of the magic tool, was overjoyed. He came out in time.
When he heard the fighting, he followed the sound and saw the Seven Evil Witch of the White Bone Gate fighting with two disciples.
When the Seven Evil Witch saw him flying over from afar, she quickly ran away.
He wanted to chase after the two after rescuing them, but when he heard the news about the Spirit Children, he was overjoyed.
He wouldn't be able to escape the main contribution this time, but bringing them back was the most important thing.
Yi Tian and the other two didn't think too much. They needed to recover their spirit energy first. When they returned to the sect, they still had to face the interrogation of the Discipline Hall. After that, they still had to participate in the Ice Soul Cave Trial.
However, what Yi Tian didn't know was that not long after they left, the Seven Evil Witch rushed back to the battlefield.
After landing on the ground, she looked around and began to look for something. When she saw the wine bottle, she quickly picked it up and looked at it carefully.
The ordinary wine bottle didn't look special. However, if there was anything special about it, it was only the two words on it: "Lofty Spirit".
The Seven Evil Witch looked at it and smiled. After boarding the magic tool, she directly flew in the direction of the White Bone Gate.
Along the way, she carefully flew at a low altitude, afraid that the patrolling disciples of Chiyang School would notice her.
