Chapter 8: Testing the Spiritual Root
Shi Chen looked at the master calmly, watching her every word and move, quietly waiting for her to comb everything into the small storage bag.
Get down on your knees, raise your hands high, and take the precious bag. "Thank you. "This is the third person in my life to kneel and worship, I Shichen only kneels to my parents, and then I kneel and worship my teacher now.
Set the grace of life-saving, the grace of entering the sect, the grace of master and apprentice in a kneel, Shi Chen does not regret, three graces condense, this kneeling, master and apprentice ceremony. From now on, on the rivers and lakes, there is only one division, which can be followed, courteous, respectable, and followed. Master's words, when the arrow into the ear, life and death go hand in hand.
"Hurry up, you and I have become a master and apprentice. Lan Ziqian said softly, with a caring look in her eyebrows that an elder should have.
The two of them retired from the Blue Sect Master and walked out of the hall. Lan Ziqian found a good cave house for Shi Chen alone, even the inner disciples in the sect couldn't get it. Shi Chen's entry into the sect is the personal disciple of the palace master of Lan Ziqian, and he is unique.
"You live here first, if you have something, send me a message with a communication bead, three days later, it will be the entrance ceremony of the new inner disciples in the sect, and you will be asked to test the spiritual root, it will be on the square of the sect, remember to come over when the time comes." Lan Ziqian said, got up and turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared in place.
Shi Chen took out the storage bag and tried to use his spiritual power to open it, but he couldn't open it, which made him worry to death. I can't run the rain god decision now, and there is no doubt that I am a mortal, if I don't open the storage bag and take the pill to replenish my strength, I will really starve to death......
Shi Chen looked around the cave mansion and found that there was a fruit tree growing in the depths of the cave mansion, the fruit was not big, and it was orange. Finally relieved, at least not starved to death.
I can sense the spiritual power that is full of this cave, and as long as I stabilize my body and run the exercises, my strength will rise rapidly. But after all, he couldn't run the rain god decision, and without the spiritual root, he was like a wasted person.
Shi Chen no longer continued to waste his strength, lying on the ground, and squinted.
When the third day came, before dawn, Shi Chen got up, picked two or three orange fruits to satisfy his hunger, and then went straight to Zongmen Square.
Shi Chen thought that he had come early enough, and when he looked at it, he realized that there was another person here. This person is slightly handsome, a young man, holding a halberd in his hand, practicing martial arts.
I saw that between his movements, there was flowing water on the halberd, and in the gap between the retractions and returns, the water flow was extremely ingenious.
When the man saw Shi Chen coming, he stopped the movement of his hand.
"Morning!" greeted Shi Chen.
"Morning!" Shi Chen responded.
"It's a wonderful halberd. Shi Chen praised.
"Hehe, just play around, see and laugh. ”
"Karma is diligent, you started cultivating so early, it's rare to see it in this Blue Cloud Sect. ”
"Haha...... Everyone is cultivating, but they don't appear in the square, they are all in their own caves!"
"Hahaha...... I see......"
The two talked for a long time and got to know each other. This young man is an old goblin who doesn't know how many hundred years old, his appearance and body shape have transformed into the appearance of a young man, and he is the elder of the fine water sect of the five major factions of the Blue Cloud Sect.
This person's name is Ouyang Chuan, and he is dressed in a water halberd. Shi Chen and his straightforwardness to each other like each other. The two kept talking about the beginning of the disciple's initiation ceremony.
As daylight rose, more and more monks began to gather in the square. Sect Master Lan and the elders were the first to appear, sitting on a solemn high platform, condescending, and anyone in the square could see it.
Subsequently, the disciples of the five major sects came to the square one after another, and sat dozens of feet away from both sides of the spiritual platform. Waiting for this year's newcomers to appear.
Lan Ziqian, who was beside Sect Master Lan, had already noticed Shi Chen, but he didn't expect him to come so early, and felt a little surprised. One foot flew out, turned into a wisp of smoke, and slowly fell beside Shi Chen.
"See Elder Ouyang. Lan Ziqian saluted Ouyang Chuan next to Shi Chen.
"The palace master is exempt. Ouyang Chuan responded.
"I didn't expect the palace master to accept the apprentice, which is gratifying. ”
"I happened to save him when I passed by Starfall Street that day, and when I saw that this son was of good character, I decided to take him as a disciple. ”
"Huh...... Palace Master, let's sit down. ”
"Okay, let's go. ”
After the two of them spoke, they rolled up Shi Chen and climbed onto the high platform. Ouyang Chuan sat in the position of the Great Elder of the Fine Water Sect, and Lan Ziqian sat next to the Sect Master Lan, gave Shi Chen a look, and asked him to sit beside him.
"The initiation ceremony begins!" called the presiding elder.
Twenty or so newcomers walked into the square.
"Start measuring the Spiritual Root!"
Seeing that the new disciples had all walked in, the chief elder shouted again.
The first disciple who went up held the spirit measuring ball in his hand and injected a trace of spiritual power into it, and after a while, the spirit measuring root emitted a scorching flame.
"Superior Fire Spirit Root!" said the chief elder and looked at the big man of the sect on the high platform by the way.
"I've asked for this person. "Xu Rui, the great elder of the Shengyan faction, cut the railway.
"Next!"
Another person ascended the platform.
"Intermediate Thunder Root!"
"Lower-level Water Spirit Root!"
"Intermediate Wood Spirit Root!"
......
As the disciples came to power one after another, they were divided by the five major factions one after another, and finally waited for the last person.
This person is a female cultivator named Hanyanru. With a bit of stupidity, he stepped in front of the spirit measuring ball in one step, injected a trace of spiritual power, and there was a little disdain between his eyebrows.
"It's ...... The best smoke spirit root!"
As soon as this sound came out, the audience was in an uproar. This time, another monster came out, and the ordinary spiritual roots were thunder, wood, water, fire, and earth. Smoke is extremely rare, let alone superb!
"It's ...... Exactly the same spiritual root as the Blue Palace Master!" said a disciple in surprise.
"Little girl come to my Yunyan Sect, I can accept you as a disciple!" Lan Xun, the great elder of the Yunyan Sect, said excitedly, for hundreds of years, since the last time Lan Ziqian, there has been no such precious spiritual root.
"I ...... Want...... Worship the Blue Palace Master as a teacher!" The little girl didn't even glance at the middle-aged Dao Gu, and raised her head and said categorically to all the elders on the high platform.
"Ziqian, this son is very good, you see ......," Sect Master Lan persuaded.
"Little girl, this palace doesn't accept apprentices. Lan Ziqian said, her eyes looked at Lan Xun, and motioned for her to come.
"Aha, the little girl's tone is not small, but it's a pity that our Blue Palace Master never accepts apprentices, and you can only obey me. Lan Xun laughed, looking like he was bound to win.
"That'...... Then who is he?" the little girl suddenly pointed at Shi Chen, and then the eyes of the audience were also focused on this young man with a cloak and a blue robe.
I saw Shi Chen like a pine and cypress, standing still. Messy hair swayed in front of his eyebrows, his eyes fixed on a certain point in front of him, and everything in the world seemed so out of place. There is a unique temperament that fills Shichen around, not a king, not a general, not a hero, but the breath of benevolence.
