Chapter 3: Ethereal Roots

Five days later, at the foot of Wanjian Mountain, a handsome young man appeared, and this was Fan Chen who came from Anyang Town.

The winding bluestone road leads to the top of the mountain, and the top is looming in the mist, and on the mountain road, there are more than 100 teenagers from Anyang Town, all of whom have come to participate in the triennial test.

"Is this the Ten Thousand Swords Gate?" said that, Fan Chen stepped onto the bluestone path and became a member of the mountaineering.

On the square in front of the main hall, there were more than a dozen disciples of the sect wearing cyan robes and swords on their backs, who looked magnificent, responsible for maintaining order on the scene, and more than a hundred teenagers came to the square in front of the main hall under the guidance of the disciples of the sect, which was the venue for today's test.

A group of teenagers stood in the square, whispering to each other, and they all looked a little flustered, because today's test will be related to their bodies, whether to continue to be an ordinary mortal, or to become a cultivator with great magical powers from now on, and change their fate, it depends on the results of today's test.

"Silence" Suddenly a majestic voice came from the front of the main hall, and unconsciously, there was a figure in front of the main hall, as if it appeared out of thin air, and many teenagers present did not notice when the person appeared.

"Is this the ability that cultivators have?" Fan Chen sighed, and unconsciously, he had a little more yearning for cultivation.

Hearing the words, the young men present instantly quieted down, only to see that the person who spoke was slightly different from the previous disciple, "Next, I will introduce myself first, my name is Lin Hao, and I am the second true disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect to sit down for the real person, today, I will preside over today's test, and those who pass the test will be my disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect from now on, and those who fail will be able to go down the mountain immediately." ”

"The so-called test is actually very simple, there is a sensing stone behind you, you just need to take turns to step forward, put your palm on it, the sensing stone will automatically sense your cultivation talent, if the sensing stone does not have the slightest reaction, you can go down the mountain by yourself. Lin Hao said.

When they heard the words, they turned their heads and looked at a man-high stone not far behind them.

"The following will arrange for you to test one by one, if the induction stone does not have the slightest reaction, then it is the ethereal root, that is, without the slightest cultivation talent, you can only be an ordinary person in your life, if a pillar of light appears above the induction stone, it shows that you are a single spirit root, the appearance of this spirit root, it means that you have the qualification of preliminary practice, this is the most ordinary qualification among practitioners, there may be several people in the hundreds, if there are two pillars of light above the stone, it is the double spirit root, this qualification is among the practitioners, the qualification is also superior, but this kind of spirit root, among hundreds of thousands of people, there may only be one person, the probability is not low, it just so happens that I am a double spirit root. Saying this, Lin Hao raised his arrogant head and said in a bragging manner.

Hearing this, Fan Chen let out a sigh, it turns out that the threshold of cultivation is so high, no wonder the vast majority of people in the world are ordinary people, before Shi himself thought too simple, and this Lin Hao seems to be indeed very talented in cultivation, so that his status in this sect is not low, and he presides over the triennial test, it can be seen that he does have proud capital.

"Of course, in addition to the above three spirit roots, there are also some special spirit roots and special physiques, but the probability of these appearing is too low, maybe only one will appear in tens of millions of people, so don't have illusions. Lin Hao said.

Hearing Lin Hao's words, there was a commotion among the hundred or so young people below, and everyone's mood became uneasy, no way, who made the threshold for cultivation too high, and in fact, no one wants to be an ordinary ordinary person.

"The tests will begin below, and I will supervise the completion of the work. Lin Hao continued.

After speaking, an ordinary disciple of the sect stepped forward and began to guide the testers to line up in front of the induction stone for testing, and in the blink of an eye, a long queue formed in front of the induction stone and began to test, and Fan Chen lined up at the end of the line, Fan Chen prayed, he must not be a person without the slightest spiritual root, then he will lose his qualification to practice.

When the young man who was at the head of the line put his hand on the induction stone, the induction stone did not react in the slightest, which also meant that he would have no chance to cultivate in this life, and then, several people in a row were ethereal roots with no qualifications, and they could only go down the mountain dimly and become ordinary members of the world.

It wasn't until he reached the tenth place that the induction stone finally reacted and emitted a dazzling light, which also indicated that this was a lucky person, and he would break away from the identity of an ordinary person and become a cultivator from now on.

This kind of test was carried out very quickly, in the blink of an eye, there were not many people left, seeing this, Fan Chen's heart was already cold, this kind of selection was really cruel, because among more than a hundred people, only five people were tested to be single spirit roots, and Fan Chen listened to the disciples of Wanjian Sect on the side, this year's situation is already very good compared to previous years, and there are only two or three people in previous years.

Finally, at the end of Fan Chen, Fan Chen walked to the front, ready to test, only to see that at this time, Lin Hao, who had been standing aside, stepped forward and showed Lin Hao an approachable smile, and said, "This little brother, I don't know if I can tell me what your name is?"

For this second true disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect who suddenly stepped forward to talk, Fan Chen was surprised for a while, and he didn't know what to do, but he still replied very politely: "My name is Wei Fan Chen. ”

"Oh, Fanchen, good name, I would like to congratulate the little brother here for passing the test, and I hope you can become a member of my Ten Thousand Sects. Lin Hao said.

"In that case, thank you in advance. Fan Chen responded.

After speaking, Lin Hao returned to his original position and stood up, continuing his duties.

Fan Chen was inexplicable for a while, I don't know why he came to talk to him with this Lin Hao's identity, you know, more than a hundred people in front of him walked in front of him, but he didn't say a word, but even if he couldn't figure it out, then he didn't want to think about it first, it was important to take the test first, and I hope that he has some cultivation talent.

Thinking of this, Fan Chen stepped forward, took a deep breath, and after a little hesitation, he raised his right hand and put it on top of the induction stone, however, after a long time, the induction stone did not have the slightest reaction, and still stood there safely.

Hey, sure enough, he really doesn't have the slightest talent for cultivation, how can he find Yaya in the future, this little girl who is equivalent to his sister, Fan Chen sighed in his heart.

"Brother, don't be discouraged, even if you can't become a cultivator, you can have another way of living, maybe you will live a better life. At this time, Lin Hao appeared beside Fan Chen and kindly persuaded him.

"I understand what you mean. Fan Chen raised his head in disappointment and said, no matter what, others also cared about him: "Since the test is over, then I will leave first." ”

"In that case, take care, but I'm sure we'll meet again soon. Lin Hao, showing a strange smile, said.

Fan Chen was in a fog by Lin Hao's words, and thought to himself, you are a cultivator, and you are just an ordinary person with only an ethereal root, the identity gap is too big, how can there be a say of seeing each other again, but as the saying goes, stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, and said: "Then thank you, it's getting late, and it will take a long time for me to return to the town, so I will say goodbye." ”

"Then I wish you a smooth journey. Lin Hao said.

Saying goodbye to Lin Hao, Fan Chen turned around and walked down the mountain along the bluestone road when he came, and behind him, Lin Hao looked at Fan Chen's distant back, revealing an intriguing smile.

"Senior brother, I don't understand, this is just an ethereal root waste, why are you talking so much nonsense to him?" a disciple next to him stepped forward and said puzzled.

"You know what, he's my prey now. Lin Hao said with a little majesty.

"I understand in seconds. The disciple on the side smiled understandingly.

Here, Fan Chen began to walk down the mountain in a depressed mood, thinking about Yaya, in this world, only he and Yaya were left to depend on each other, and now Yaya has gone to a distant place, only himself is left, Fan Chen knows that if he can't practice, he may not have the opportunity to meet Yaya again in this life.

Looking at the road under his feet, Fan Chen has a feeling that he doesn't know where the future road is, is he really going to live his ordinary and ordinary life like this?

Fan Chen, who was in a daze, had unconsciously deviated from the road back to Anyang Town, still quiet in his thoughts, and gradually drifted away.

When night came, when Fan Chen woke up from his thoughts, he found that he was no longer walking on the road back to the village, but had arrived in a deserted place where he could not see the slightest light, and he was completely disoriented, not knowing where he was.

"It seems that you have consciously found a grave for yourself!" Suddenly, a strange voice came from the darkness.

In this deserted and populated place, a voice suddenly appeared, which frightened Fan Chen, "Who are you, why are you following me?" Regarding the sudden voice, Fan Chen didn't believe that it was a chance encounter, who would have nothing to do at night and come to this place where birds don't, but Fan Chen didn't understand that he was a poor boy, what was there to do?

"Hey, Brother Fan's memory is really bad, did you forget me so quickly?" I saw the person hidden in the shadows jump out and appear in front of Fan Chen.
