Chapter 3: Extremely Weak Talent

Here, after a long wait, Ye Xiaotian finally came to the front of the team. He walked up nervously, and before he could speak, the disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect who was in charge of the assessment suddenly raised his head. He stared at Ye Xiaotian for a while, then suddenly said, "Little brother, how did you come up to this sea of clouds?"

Ye Xiaotian was stunned, and hurriedly said, "Come up on the giant eagle!" Then, he saw the angry expression of the disciple of the Sword Sect that day, and said there: "So I said that the group of guys in the outer gate are unreliable, not long ago I sent a person who successfully built the foundation, but is over twenty years old, this is good, even those who have not built the foundation can come to participate in the selection of the inner gate, which makes me not wait to have a good rest!"

Ye Xiaotian didn't know why. At this time, the disciple suddenly turned his head again and said to a woman not far behind him: "Senior Sister Ye, there is a person here who has not yet succeeded in building a foundation, do you think you should send him directly down the mountain?"

The woman seemed to be busy with something, and when she heard his words, she said without raising her head: "Senior Brother Li, I think it's because of your own poor strength, and you can't see the true realm of others!

The disciple rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Senior Sister Ye, don't be so ruthless if you hurt me, a young man who is only eleven or twelve years old, how can he succeed in Ning Yuan in the world?"

"Oh, yes, I'll take a look!" the woman raised her head and looked at Ye Xiaotian, and at this look, the two of them were completely stunned.

Although this woman looks only fourteen or fifteen years old, she is already slim and charming! A pair of big smart eyes, as if she can speak, and her facial features are so perfect that people will make their hearts beat at a glance. Dressed in sky-blue sect clothes, wearing it on her added a bit of fairy energy. Although her aqua green dress had been changed into a sky blue robe, and her appearance had changed a little, Ye Xiaotian still recognized it at a glance. Isn't this beautiful girl the sister Shi'er she wants to see day and night?

Zixia Peak, the mountain gate in the front yard, two figures are walking through the pavilions, walking quickly. The figure in front of him was a young Taoist priest with thick eyebrows and a square face, with a righteous face. The figure behind him is an eleven or twelve-year-old boy, and his eyes are still full of childishness.

Suddenly, the young Taoist priest who was walking in front turned around and said to the young man who was walking behind him: "Little junior brother, we are going to Dexing Hall in a minute, and when the time comes, you must not look as nervous as you did just now! The deacon elder who is in charge of the distribution of disciples, but he dislikes the disciple who is not confident the most, and if you behave nervously at that time, you may be assigned to some lazy uncle, and then I am afraid that you will not be able to make an inch of progress in the first half of the Dao Fa!"

The young man who walked behind was Ye Xiaotian, he listened to what the senior brother in front of him said at this time, and he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, this inner gate of Zixia Peak, there are even assigned disciples, he used to live in Ziyun Residence, but he didn't know that there were so many doorways. At that moment, he asked suspiciously, "Senior Brother Qin, aren't all the disciples taught by the master and his old man?

The young Taoist priest who was called Senior Brother Qin smiled, shook his head and said: "Little Senior Brother, are you wrong, although it is true that the Heavenly Sword Gate is divided into nine veins, but in addition to the long gate, there are thousands of disciples in each vein. And if a disciple has a high level of qualifications and makes rapid progress, then he is very likely to be favored by the first master and thus become the first personal disciple, and at that time, the first master will personally teach and solve doubts...... Oh, like Senior Sister Ye, because her qualifications and talents are excellent, she was accepted as a personal disciple by the first master!"

"Sister Shi'er, a disciple?"

"Yes, why didn't she tell you?Oh, yes, you just reunited with her today, it should be too late to say anything, don't you know, you, Sister Shi'er, are now a popular figure in Zixia Peak......" While he was talking, a person suddenly came out from the corner, he saw Ye Xiaotian and them, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and then said: "Senior Brother Qin Hai, aren't you in Tongtian Peak, why did you come back?"

"Isn't this helping Senior Sister Ye give away, you also know that Senior Sister Ye will be very busy in the selection of disciples in the past few days, so she first asked me to arrange a place for her younger brother. I thought, anyway, this little brother will also be a disciple of our Zixia Peak in the future, so I will simply bring him directly to the deacon elder!"

"Oh, that's it, but why hasn't Senior Brother heard of it, Senior Sister Ye still has a younger brother or something?"

"Hmm...... It was Senior Sister Ye who recognized her younger brother when she was in Ziyunju!"

"Oh, that's the case! Okay, Senior Brother Qin Hai go quickly, Senior Brother Liu happened to bring a group of new disciples over just now, you can go over now, you can perform the sect ceremony together!"

"Well, then thank you for the reminder!"

So, Qin Hai took Ye Xiaotian and began to speed up. After a while, the two came to a large hall with red tile stone pillars and blue stone bricks, only to see that the inside of this hall was built into the appearance of a lobby, and there were statues of Sanqing standing in the direction of the gate, which were Yuqing Yuan Shi Tianzun, Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun, and Taiqing Daodao Tianzun, that is, Taishang Laojun! In addition, there was a big Taiji pattern engraved on the ground in the main hall. There is also a plaque in the middle of the gate, on which the words Dexingtang are written.

Ye Xiaotian looked at it at a glance, and saw that there were about 20 people standing on both sides of the Tai Chi pattern in the middle of the hall, but most of them were men, and there were only three or four girls! And in front of these more than 40 people, there were two middle-aged men, one looked a little thin, and the other looked short and fat, and if you looked closely, the short and fat middle-aged man was actually Yunshan who walked away in a negative spirit on the Seven Star Palace. At this time, he was standing in this Dexing Hall, but he didn't know why. When Ye Xiaotian and the others first came in, Yun Shan seemed to be warning these forty or so teenagers and girls, and after they appeared, he stopped and cast an inquiring glance at Qin Hai.

Ye Xiaotian noticed that Qin Hai was obviously stunned when he saw Yunshan, and whispered, "Why is Master here? It seems that it is in trouble now!" Ye Xiaotian didn't know why, so he only heard Qin Hai say aloud again: "Master, this junior brother delayed the time a little because of something happened just now, and I ask Master to forgive me!"

Yun Shan was in a very bad mood at this time, how could he have time to deal with it too much, I saw him wave his hand, and said impatiently: "Okay, okay, Lao Qi, you let him in by himself, wait for the ceremony to begin." ”

"Yes, Master!" Qin Hai replied and stepped aside. However, when he turned to look at Ye Xiaotian, he was instantly dumbfounded, because Ye Xiaotian did not enter the team of forty people as he expected, but stood in place, looking at the floor, and was actually there...... Those forty people, most of whom were teenagers, couldn't help but smile when they saw such a scene, if they weren't afraid of disobeying the solemnity of the hall, they were afraid that they would have laughed out loud. And Yun Shan, whose face was already bad, frowned two thick eyebrows.

As a last resort, Qin Hai had no choice but to shout softly: "Little junior brother, come in!" Ye Xiaotian was awakened by his shouting, but he didn't hear what Qin Hai said, but he saw Qin Hai's gesture and thought that Senior Brother Qin was going to say something to him, so he walked directly to the place where Qin Hai was standing.

This completely angered Yun Shan, and his face was completely black. As for the forty boys and girls, they finally couldn't bear it anymore and burst out laughing......

After tossing for a while, Ye Xiaocai understood what Qin Hai meant, and immediately blushed, and entered the team in a panic. Luckily, the ceremony started right away, and there was less awkward time. However, he didn't know that after this incident, his stupid image had penetrated into the hearts of everyone in Zixia Peak.

The so-called ceremony is the ceremony for everyone to officially worship the Heavenly Sword Gate, which is different from bowing to the master when apprenticing to the master. In this ceremony, it is the Sanqing Daozun, that is, the Sanqing stone statue. After prostrating, the deacons and elders will familiarize everyone with the rules and precepts, and then they can be assigned to different teachers and elders according to the qualifications of each disciple. So this ritual is not too complicated.

But this time, because of the arrival of Yunshan, there was one more thing. After everyone bowed and read out the precepts, he suddenly stepped forward, wiped his right hand on his left hand, and a round jade platform appeared out of thin air, only to see eight jade swords of one color above the jade platform, and a white jade ball. This thing is the spiritual jade platform used to test the talent of the spiritual root. And after seeing the short and fat middle-aged man take out the spirit jade platform, Qin Hai couldn't help but show an expression that was really like this. A young Taoist priest next to him even leaned over and said in a low voice, "Senior Brother Qin Hai, the first senior uncle has taken out his spiritual jade platform again, what is the reason for this?"

Qin Hai rolled his eyes, and said angrily: "You don't have to think about it, it is estimated that I was stimulated by Nagato again, I will know it when I look at his face today!"

"Well, yes, last time, the first master was stimulated by Nagato, and then when he returned to Zixia Peak, he suddenly tested the spiritual root talent of the new disciple...... By the way, when was the last time it came?"

"Well, it seems that it has been fifty or sixty years, it is said that the first Qiuhan master of Shuiling Peak accepted a disciple with excellent qualifications from Nagato, and he was jealous, so he thought of returning to Zixia Peak to test the talent of the new disciple. It can be regarded as the new disciple who was unlucky that time, because of the comparison, basically they were all assigned to the more lazy elders! Hmm, like Senior Brother Zhou, isn't it because of this that he became a complete idler?"

"Hmm, Senior Brother, I forgot if you didn't talk about it! Then this time, it won't be someone who went to Senior Brother Zhou again, right?"

“...... Well, probably!"

"Hehe, senior brother, I think it's very likely that the little junior brother you brought!"

"Ah, really...... Probably not, right?"

"Why not? You didn't see what the face of the first master had turned black just now...... Hey, why do I think, senior brother, you care about the appearance of that little junior brother, shouldn't you, what's the secret?"

“...... It's just a matter of the senior brother's concern for the junior brother, is there anything wrong?"

"Hey, senior brother, don't you want to lie to me! Quick, come from the truth, what's the secret?"

“...... Okay, it doesn't hurt to tell you, but you can't tell the sixth and the eighth...... Well, in fact, this little junior brother is the younger brother that Senior Sister Ye used to recognize in Ziyun Ju, and the reason why I came back was also entrusted by Senior Sister Ye to arrange a place for her younger brother. I thought it was a good opportunity to be courteous, but now it seems that it may have been self-defeating. ”

"Well, senior brother, then you are unlucky enough!"

“......”

On this side, Qin Hai and the young Taoist priest were whispering, and on Ye Xiaotian's side, as Qin Hai said, Yun Shan started his spiritual root talent test. I saw that one by one, the young men stepped forward one after another, holding the white jade ball with one hand, and at the same time, the eight small swords on the round jade platform all emitted different lights and shades of light. Some golden swords are brighter, some are red swords, some are green, blue or cyan, etc., but one thing in common is that the results of each juvenile test are relatively average, and there is no obvious light shining on any small sword, nor any small sword is dull. There is only a subtle gap between light and dark. This means that they can cultivate any of the eight systems, but the achievement of each system will not be too high.

So after every teenager's test, Yun Shan couldn't help but sigh. In fact, he also knew that the better talents in a certain department were generally in the Nagato, and the other seven veins were taken under the door, and those who were assigned to his vein were generally more average and mediocre in talent, where would there be any genius, let alone the peerless genius in the Seven Star Palace. Thinking of the Seven Star Palace, Yun Shan's whole mood was even worse, and coincidentally, it was Ye Xiaotian's turn at this time for the test team.

Ye Xiaotian walked up nervously and carefully held the white jade ball. Then, everyone saw a strange scene, none of the eight jade swords emitted a bright light. There seems to be a handful, and a faint light gradually brightens, and that light, if you don't look closely, it's hard to see. Ye Xiaotian's talent is so low?

In the lobby, some subtle voices couldn't help but sound, and Yun Shan finally couldn't bear it anymore and roared angrily, "How did you come to our Zixia Peak with such a low talent?" Old Seven, you sent this stupid boy here, tell me, who is so short-sighted and accepted such a stupid boy in? I don't think he wants to stay in Zixia Peak either!"

"Well, Master, this is ...... Yes......" Qin Hai didn't expect this to be the case at all, and hurriedly walked up, but he didn't know how to speak.

"Just say it if you say it, are you still afraid of something?" Yun Shan's tone did not weaken in the slightest.

"Master, yes...... It was collected by the disciple!"

"Hmph, do you think I'll believe it? This stupid boy is not only a low talent, but also has poor qualifications, your vision will be so poor?"

"Hmm, the disciple was confused for a while, and he didn't notice it much!"

"Hmph, okay, since you said that you received it, then you are responsible for sending him down the mountain, Zixia Peak is small, but it can't accommodate such a Buddha!"

"This ...... Master, can't you assign him to some uncle?"

"Hmph, this stupid boy, who will take it?"

"But......" Qin Hai was about to say something more. At this time, the young Taoist priest who had had a conversation with him suddenly walked up and knelt in the center of the hall, "Uncle Shi, in fact, this little junior brother is Senior Sister Ye who once recognized her younger brother in Ziyunju, and today, he returned to the Heavenly Sword Gate, and it was Senior Sister Ye who received him under the Purple Xia Peak Gate!"

"Huh, you said Shi'er received it?"

"Exactly!"

"Well, since it's Shi'er's younger brother, then it's not good for me to disperse them anymore!

"Master, Uncle Tianhe's ......" On the side, Qin Hai was in a hurry when he heard that he was going to assign Ye Xiaotian to what Tianhe was called, and he was about to say something, but Na Yunshan had already turned his head and said coldly: "Okay, I have decided on this matter, you don't have to mess around anymore, if Shi'er has any objections, you let her come to me!"

After Yun Shan left, Qin Hai had no choice but to call back Ye Xiaotian and walked out from the front door of the lobby. And the young Taoist priest looked at their backs with complicated eyes, "I didn't expect my joke to come true!"
